This is…read morewhere you go for some good homecooking by a chef/owner who puts his passion and cheer into every pot. This place is a stall located inside of the Pickering flea market, in the food court area. Plenty of seating and he'll be easy to spot. He's got a little stove back there in his corner that he always has pots running on. It's almost like a kitchenette. You have a small selection of dishes but the portions are generous, and he really makes each dish right there fresh and full of flavor. The butter chicken is not the regular yogurty creamy tomatoey sauce that you might be use to. This is more herbs and spices and a bit stronger in flavor but that's what I love about it. The chicken is always tender and he puts it over a bed of biryani rice that's also been cooking in a lot of delicious flavor packed herbs. It's literally a flavor explosion. I keep coming back because we've never been disappointed with the food and it really has a home made taste and feel to it. Plus the owner is amazingly friendly and I love how proud he is of the good food he offers up to patrons. Can't go wrong here :) be sure to swing by!

The setup is very similar to Subway where you go up to counter to order, pick your toppings, then you can sit down or take it to go. The food quality is excellent! Not a big menu, but still very good offering beef or chicken in either dish or sandwich format. They also have a number of appetizers and sides to choose from. In the end we tried both the Chicken Shawarma plate and the Beef Shawarma sandwich (or wrap). The beef sandwich was my favourite, added onions, lettuce, tomato, hot peppers, Tahini sauce and hot sauce, spectacular! Order it in a combo and you get regular fries and a drink. The chicken dish also came with Basmati rice, roasted potatoes (awesome), salad, hummus and pita bread. Garlic sauce and hot sauce on the chicken, again very good. Tried both the Falafel and Samosa appetizers. They were both very good, but I found them both a bit dry because the don't offer proper dips for them, like a mango chutney or something. Overall I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be going back!

We've been ordering takeout there most of the time. The daily lunch specials are now $11.50, which comes with vegetable spring roll and choice soft drink. For today's standards and the cost of food, it's still a great deal. The portions are still generous, and the food was just like the first visit... delicious. If you want to upgrade to egg fried rice, add $1.50 or $1.95 for Hakka noodles instead of steamed rice. There are 40 choices for the lunch specials, so it's definitely something for everyone. The dining area is very clean and comfortable. Support your local restaurants and give them a try.

The food was mediocre and expensive. $10 for a small bowl of hot and sour soup... the portions were small, dishes weren't particularly delicious, service was average, and the space was run down. They have a lot of "winning" dishes such as their pan fried buns. Sadly it didn't blow me away, I found the bun too soggy and not very crispy. What rubbed me the wrong way was handing me the bill with tax (currently tax exemption in Ontario). When I asked them about it, instead of being apologetic, they told me to minus the tax. The restaurant just didn't seem very transparent with this.

Crab meat Xiao long bao is 5/5!…read more Other items were 3.5/5. Table service is ... something I cant expect much. Came back for eat-in after my super positive experience of take-out Xiao Long Bao (XLB) a few months ago. Items we ordered today (other than XLBs) were: # Pan fried pork dumpling # Shanghai Pan Fried Pork Bun (SJB) # Chunky Beef With Noodles # Bean Curd Sheets With Vegetables & Soy Bean The above items are nothing wrong. Fried dumpling's taste was great, but the texture of the wrapping was kind of dry and crumbly. Beef noodle was good, and the noodle had a good chewiness. Not as bouncy in the texture. Shanghai Pan Fried Pork Bun was also good. The dough is fluffy not thin/crispy (like popular SJB places). But the bottom is super crispy, and overall taste was great, and the stuffing was juicy. Bean curd sheets with vegetables were OK. We came here after peak lunch hours (1:30pm) and the place was not busy. However, some of the the dishes were served by a robot (see the picture). :) You cannot expect full table service here. I had to remind staff when I am ready to order, and when I am ready to pay. However, I should mention that the staff were very pleasant. They welcome guests and serve food with joy and warmth. If you expect North American standard table services, you will get disappointed, but if not, it is a nice homey space. I will definitely come back for Crab XLB. I highly recommend this item.
