The food was exceptional, and the service was truly unparalleled. Everything was perfect, with the only exception being the noise level from some of the clientele. Perhaps the restaurant could consider installing a noise-reduction or sound-dampening system to create an even more enjoyable atmosphere. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we truly appreciated the excellent food and service. Keep up the great work!

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.

I took a patio table as the weather was nice and it's all covered anyways. It was packed and a little loud but not uncomfortably so. Great wine selection, some great drinks available as well. I ordered the Lamb Souvlaki dinner, it came with a side salad, potatoes and rice. Server made sure to time the arrival of all dinner components well with my salad arriving just as I finished the saganaki. Everything tasted great, lamb was cooked to my requested temp, I got unlimited tzatziki which was amazing. Service was friendly and attentive, definitely recommend for your next dinner date for sure!

Mezes is hands down one of the most consistently great restaurants we have been to. The food is…read morealways cooked to perfection every single time. A big part of what makes the experience so great is Nico. His serving skills are truly outstanding. He's attentive without being intrusive, always friendly, and seems to know exactly what you need before you even ask. He always makes sure our order is perfect and well done the way we prefer it. That level of service makes such a difference when dining out. We go to Mezes once a week and have honestly never had a bad experience. Between the perfectly cooked food and Nico's amazing service, Mezes continues to be a place we are always happy to return to. Highly recommend!

Alexa Play "You Stole the Show", by Sienna Spiro…read more Okay Canada! This foodie took her talents across the border to visit a very special friend (we are dating them ALL) and when a friend insists a place is a must, you listen. That's how I ended up at Mamakas Taverna in Toronto, and let me tell you... this was absolutely worth the passport stamp. Mamakas feels like stepping into a chic Aegean escape right in the middle of the city. The space is small, yet bright, stylish, and warm, with that effortless Greek charm that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The energy is lively but intimate, the kind of place where the food, the vibe, and the company all hit at the same time. From the moment the plates hit the table the spreads, the fresh seafood, you understand why locals treat this spot like a staple. It's elevated without being pretentious, comforting without being basic, and every bite tastes like someone's yiayia whispered secrets into the recipe. If Toronto is going to show out like this, I'll happily keep bringing my foodie passport back. This year is INTENTIONAL! I will be in a new country more often to try new places but honestly Toronto may have to be a quarterly trip. The food places were that good here! Plus he's not that bad either! Shout out to our cute waitress! Let's get into it! Okay so you see all my pictures! I was told I was trying it all! I love a man who understands your love for food! Starters- You must get the dips! Tzatziki - loved this. You could taste the lemon. Taramosalata - this was my favorite! More please! Ask for more Pita bread! We did! Melizanosalata - They changed the recipe so this was just okay according to my date. Mains- Kotopoulo - Tea Brined Chicken and Mushrooms. Sooooooo yummy! Drools writing this. Lavraki- 1.5lb Whole Grilled Aegean Sea Bass - I LOVED this! Sides- Lahanika - Veggies soooooo yummy and fresh! Tiganites Patates - potatoes so delicious! I need more!! Yes! Yes! And MORE YES! Book your reservation for here! If you don't live here, book that flight!

I loved the bread they provided for dipping. It was well seasoned and fresh. I thought the lamb chops were very good. Again the seasoning on each of the dishes were excellent. I definitely want to come back and try more. While it may not necessarily be on par with what I ate in Greece, it came close and invoked memories.

We were a group of four, and they gave us a but table which was nice (I think the restaurant sitting area itself is quite spacious) My favourite of the day was Beet & Blue Cheese Salad, Beyti Kebab, and Kunafe. And my friend's really enjoyed Kuzu Lokum (lamb on the bread in the picture) and the beef on baba ghanoush. I guess it depends on personal taste. The portions are generous and good to share. I want to try their mixed grill patter and spinach pide next time. There's free parking area too!

It's a very unique kebab place - The interior is not the traditional Mediterranean kind of design,…read morebut rather a modern glam vibe. Some circular sofas were a bit worn though, like they were used at another restaurant and then moved here. They also serve the traditional Turkish breakfast spread too for $37.99 per person, which seems fancy. We ordered the platter for two, which could honestly feed four people. The meat tasted authentic, by which I mean it was simply grilled with little seasoning, no unnecessary sauces. The kebabs were juicy and flavourful too - you could taste the lamb fat that added some richness. Service was okay, not quite attentive but sufficient. The staff just walked away when we tried to stop them for bill, which was surprising. They offer complementary team after the meal, which was thoughtful. Overall it's a nice dining experience if you fancy some Mediterranean glam.

My partner and I shared the tavuk pirzola (chicken dark meat served with bulgar, tomato, pepper, and onion) as well as the mantarli karsali pide (mushroom and melted cheese). The latter came out very quickly and hot and was so delicious. I think that was my most favourite dish I ate. It also came with green peppers that were pickled which was quite bitter and salty. The chicken was charred very nicely but did not have that much flavour. I still enjoyed it with the side dishes. At the end of our dinner, we also got complimentary Turkish tea which was very nice of them. I only had a sip as I didn't want too much caffeine at night. Service was excellent. Washrooms could be cleaner. Would recommend otherwise.

There are lamb, beef, chicken, wings, some sort of beef 'pastry' (forgot the name). The best is the lamb, least is beef (nth special, I guess). All is tender, but some are juicier than others (NOT dry, but better if it's juicier). The mashed eggplant that comes with it is great to pair with any of the meat. Ordered sutlac for dessert (light and not too sweet). Highly recommended!
