    Great place to hang out with your friends! :) Went in around 12am on Thursday Night (so Friday morning?) The décor was really great, the service was good, and the shisha was good. They had a really small menu focused on drinks (non-alcoholic) and shisha. Lots of different flavours (including al-fakher!!) They only had two options for food : Pizza and Nachos. My friend ordered the Pink Starburst drink and I ordered a cappuccino. My cappuccino was standard fare. Lots of frothed milk ,it was nothing great, but it was good. My friend's smoothie was okay. It wasn't as sweet as I expected it to be. They had lots of decks of cards available, so obviously my friend and I played Crazy Eights! The only qualm I had was that the music was a bit too loud for conversation. Other than that, if you're looking to relax, it's a great place. Too bad there ain't no alcohol, or I'd be def going more often.

    Exceeded expectations! The owners/staff are so friendly and have great customer service. The ambiance is not that of your average shisha lounge. It's very clean and well ventilated (not too smoky inside). Shishas are well made and good value. They have many flavour options and offer different fruit heads! Now for the star of the show: their food! I've had the bbq chicken flatbread (amazing !), the mozzarella sticks (so cheesy and extra crispy.. 1 order comes with 6 and a zesty marinara sauce), sweet chili Thai chicken bites (perfect amount of sauce and crispy) last but not least, their fries! So good! Highly recommend!!!

    Such a great place to chill and enjoy the time with friends we went there at 10pm waiting time was 45minutes it was my first time at this shisha cafe so I was very excited how it will be. So anyways after 45min it was our turn the waiter was very nice and friendly so we ordered our drinks which came very fast I had a mochachino which was 5$ it was a little too sweet and a strawberry smoothie which was more like a strawberry milkshake it was good but you can't say it was a smoothie for shisha we ordered the mandala mix which everyone liked a lot. The service was very nice they came often to ask if we need anything.The music was perfect not so loud so you can talk easily with your friends without having to scream. They closed the cafe at 2am I think they should little extend the timing till 4am on Saturday everything else was fine

    Located north of steeles, Mandala cafe will survive the shisha purge for a little while. Stylish, classy, and clean, this hookah bar does not want to make u place a paper between you and the seat. The staff were hit and miss. Humble and attentive they were quick to take your order but slow to bring it out. And just like your ex trying to slide into your DMs, they be trying to get extra charges to slide on to your bill... Be careful The shisha itself was not bad. With no ice pick it goes down smooth with a crisp flavour. However it's a short lived feeling and within an hour you will be inhaling poison, chemicals, and ash without that green apple flavour. Sweet potato fries is just another plain Jane but good with tea. Unlike most places this place dosent hide the fact they are trying thief your wallet. If your smart and watch your bill however, it will be a good time. Thieving Wallet only happens in weekends. Mon-thurs it's a 5 dollar sitting fee opposed to 10.

I actually wanted both fries and Caesar salad on the side but there was a miscommunication when I ordered. But I still enjoyed my meal and it was surprisingly filling. Fish Wrap: Crispy fish fillet, lettuce, lime, cheddar, tomato, onion, peppers, avocado puree, olives, lime aioli, cilantro For dessert we shared the Pistachio & Ricotta Cake which was so deliciously light!

The peach Bellini was not tasting like cocktail it tasted more like a peach slush. We went for a girl's night out and we ordered calamari and chicken wings as late night snacks last Saturday. The calamari was tasty, fresh and deep fried with a nice crisp! However, the size of the calamari was quite small. The honey garlic chicken wings were good, but a little too sweet for me. The service was excellent and the waitress went out of her way to serve us. She took lovely pictures for us and even cleaned my camera lens as it was probably dirty. She even got us water and left it on our table when we were on the dancefloor. The manager and supervisor came around and checked on us a few times. In fact all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The DJ played some great music and we had a fun girls night out. We are already planning to come for another girl's night out before Christmas!! The only complaint is, it would be nice if the entrance fees at least for girls changed to cover charge!

You can also bring your own food but there is a charge per person. The great - The customer service is top notch. I bombarded them with questions over email, they didn't leave a single one unanswered, they were quick to respond and very accommodating. The patience in answering multiple emails, questions and follow up questions is how I knew my experience here would be good. The good - The alcoholic drink options were okay, the variety wasn't large but the cocktails and mocktails were good. Food was good too. The karaoke was a bit confusing to navigate at first but we got the hang of it. There's something for everyone here and coming in a large group definitely made it worth it.

    Touro is a Brazilian Steakhouse where the waiters walk around with a selection of meats (and…read moresometimes shrimp) for you to select from. It's all you can eat. There are 2 locations north of Toronto, north essentially the same. It a large open space with tables far enough apart that you don't feel like you're sitting right next to strangers. There are a few appetizers like the cheese bread and some grilled vegetables. These are bland and have no real flavour. Their corn bread, however, is fantastic. The meat variety is good. Of course, they have picanha (a Brazilian cut of meat), Parmesan sirloin steak, sausage, chicken, grilled pineapple, shrimp, and others. They have beans and rice too. The staff walk around constantly and offer food. They're friendly and are happy to give you an extra piece of meat if that's the one you really like. These reason for 4 stars is that its nearly impossible to get meat that's prepared medium or well done. Not all my family likes rare/medium rare, and while it's possible to request well done, it takes 15-20 minutes to get 2 little pieces of meat by which time you're ready for more and have to wait another 15-20 minutes. This, while all the others are busily eating.

    Finally checked out Touro and I have to say, compared to Copacabana, I still prefer Copa overall…read more Touro does have a nice atmosphere -- it feels a bit more suitable for special occasions like birthdays. The space is lively and the service is attentive, which makes the experience enjoyable. As for the food, the variety is decent, and the meats are generally well-seasoned and flavorful. I especially liked the grilled pineapple -- it was juicy and nicely caramelized. However, if you're not a fan of cinnamon, this might not be your favorite, as the flavor is quite noticeable. Overall, it's a good experience and worth trying at least once, but in terms of variety and overall balance, I personally still lean towards Copacabana.

If you compared the menu picture and actual drinks you can tell It doesn't look that great. The drink was very heavy on syrup or soda because there was no alcohol in it. I should've just gone to a chain bar to be quite honest. The vibe wasn't bad in terms of music and set up. Im quite surprised the non-alcoholic drink my girlfriend got was over $10. It's just sugar syrup! The service is pretty poor as well. Once the drinks were dropped, we never heard from our server again. The bill came and we got charged 13-15% service charge. It was a bit unfair to be paying that when the menu didn't have any disclaimers about this charge whatsoever. Sketchy bar! We were also told once we seated that we would get charge a cover fee because they were having an event later that evening. Like what?! Clubs downtown would never charge cover if its before a certain time for people who were already in and they were going to charge us after they sat us down?

I came to Dou Yin Bar aka DY Bar during their Soft Opening the past Saturday. My friends and I had a great time! The live music was very entertaining. This night, the duo were singing mainly popular mandarin songs that we know. Occasionally, you will have some brave souls that will take over the mic for a song for two lol. The food is alright - Popcorn chicken and Cuttlefish balls are typical items we see during Asian karaoke lol. I say skip the Ham Egg Noodles, unless you are SUPER hungry, the noods were way too soft for my liking. The cocktail drinks are super pretty and some were quite delicious. Since it was BOGO free during Soft Opening (until Nov 10), we ordered all 10 cocktails lol. I would recommend Kimochii, Berry Lady and Snowball :) The staff hardly speaks English, so make sure you speak slowly and use simpler words. Bring a friend who can speak mandarin would be helpful. If you want one of those nice booths with white couches, the staff mentioned it is minimum spending of $300, but I'm not sure how it works if you have a larger group. Perhaps, the next UYE here?
