Both were very nice, when I preferred the Siren's Sin as I enjoyed the brighter flavors. For nibbles, we ordered the lamb baklava. It came as a little nest of kataifi with a braised lamb shank and topped with aioli and pistachios. The sweet and savoury flavours were interesting and made for a good small bite. Nice ambiance and service, but I would expect it to be a pricey meal.

The menu highlights classic Armenian dishes with touches of Lebanese flavour, all inspired by recipes passed down from their late mother. You can really feel the care and tradition behind each plate. We visited on a weekday evening to celebrate my sister's birthday, and the team surprised us with a sweet birthday note waiting at our table. The restaurant has both a main floor and an upper level that can be used for private events. The vibe is elegant yet cozy, making it a lovely spot for a special night out. We tried "Yalla Per" menu which is the tasting/experience menu here, that includes cold appetizer, warn appetizer, main dish and dessert. You can also do wine or cocktail pairing at extra cost. We trued "Cold Appetizer Trio", "Kibbeh Nayeh", "Bazoog Salad", and "Mante" from the appetizers menu. For entrée, we tried "Vochkhar" and finished off with "Ashta Tart". Everything tasted fresh and delicious; perfect combination of spices.

Customer service is great and their Shisha is one of the best Ones that i've tried in the GTA.

Alcohol is to be added in the next week or two and they'll be starting live music and belly dancing as stated! Great spot, check it out

A few things to note. Went for the buffet on a few occasions, which was subpar for the following…read morereasons: overcrowded, long line ups, food not topped up and some dishes tasting bland and making reservations in advance led to us finding out that we weren't placed on the list despite calling in to confirm.. For a large table, that's frustrating. Nevertheless, with a bit of a wait, we got that sorted though it seemed to upset other hostile customers. The space is quite large and can accommodate groups if and when the area is not crowded. The problem is they don't cap the restaurant when it's at capacity. Decor is lovely, showcasing Arab traditions, which is a nice touch. Sometimes you get really good service, other times it needs work. Buffets require topping up, especially when expecting large crowds. It's not okay to keep accepting customers and then run out of food and have nothing to offer them. I've seen this happen and I felt discomfort for all parties; the patrons who came and left with hungry bellies and the staff who were embarrassed by this outcome. On two occassions I remember really well, the lineup was extraordinarily long and people were behaving in unusual ways; fighting over lineups, butting in, piling their plates high and leaving a lot untouched or not eaten and wasting food, not accounting for others and acting like it was their last meal. It was a literal zoo. By the time we made it to the chafing dishes, many were out. We tried some foods and found that some lacked flavour and taste and were missing the ingredients needed for the dish. Fettuccine was one of them. Food was average. A small number of dishes stood out. Freekeh was pretty good. I liked the butter chicken, though others did not. One person from our table liked the kusa and mansaf meat. I also enjoyed the mansaf but didn't manage to get any meat. We liked the hummus and mutabbal. I enjoyed the fatteh, it was a bit different from how my mama makes it. There was no dessert, coffee or tea offered. Shisha could only be had outside on the patio and during very specific times. Even if you wanted that, the space was too tight and would knock it over and likely cause a fire. Then a stampede would break out and good luck not getting trampled on..

There were 16 different dips, fresh salads, rice, stews, lamb shanks, chicken and beef options, plus a warm soup to start.

The interior is cozy and decorated with beautiful Middle Eastern artisan touches, giving the restaurant a cozy and warm feel. The staff are friendly and welcoming, adding to the relaxed and homey atmosphere.

The food was OK. The tomato salad was premade and in the refrigerator, the burrata cheese was ice cold, which is not meant to be eaten in that way. I had to waved down the bartender to order as second drink. He was too busy flirting with a waitress showing her his phone. I timed him and he was there with her for 6 minutes. No wondering the restaurant on a Friday night at 7:30pm was 80% empty. I have another week here at the hotel and I will not be going back to Casa Madera.

The space is gorgeous; warm, modern, and energetic... with a posh but welcoming vibe that works for date nights, groups, or even families with older kids. Worth every penny. Food highlights: * Chile pulpo; Hands down the best octopus I've ever had (and I've had dozens worldwide, not to sound pretentious, I'm just obsessed with octopus). They fly it in from Spain and prepare it over 24+ hours. Served on sweet corn purée; unexpected but it works. I literally gasped at the first bite. * Ceviche blanco; Bright, perfectly balanced citrus, impeccably fresh seafood. * Fattoush salad; A clever mashup of Persian & Baja Mexican flavors. Excellent, though ours had more pita chips than salad... a lighter hand there would make it perfect. * Tacos; The al pastor chicken was phenomenal; juicy, with just-right sweetness from pineapple and heat from árbol salsa (could use a crunch or herb drizzle on top). The tiger shrimp taco was also a standout. Drinks: We tried several rounds; all stunningly presented, some with a little "experience" factor. When one cocktail leaned too sweet, our server happily collaborated with the bartender for a custom tweak. Favorites; Casa Madeira Old Fashioned, Huracán, Quintana Roo, Solstice, Atmosfera. To top it off, the team surprised us with a champagne toast for our anniversary. Special shoutout to our server, who was lovely, fun, and guided us through the evening perfectly. Casa Madeira nails every detail... we can't wait to come back!
