Another hidden jem in scarborough! If you're looking for a quick fix to satisfy your Jamaican…read morecravings, you have to check this place out. Staff was friendly and waiting time for take out was no more than 10 minutes. - Jerk chicken (4.5/5): Great flavour and spice, coleslaw was good but the ratio was more rice than meat. The jerk chicken was incredible! Nice crisp to the skin and was moist in the middle, touched with sauce to perfection. - Oxtail (4.5/5): I would've love to have more of the meat and coleslaw but I must say the flavour was insane. The meat fell right off the bone!

They're very…read morenice in person and on the phone, props for keeping their regular service hours though this time. They offer a $5.99 Small option for those looking for a smaller meal (yet not really small) that's priced right. There was no Roti option. Chicken was cooked very well, rub & marinade were OK but just moderate wow factor. I didn't get as much sauce as some of the other Yelper's pics but It wasn't dry by any means. Most of the chicken pieces were on the bone, which adds flavour IMO - but it also means 25% of that meat portion was bones, so what initially looks like a steal for $5.99 turned out to be merely fair. Not offered to customize heat level ( it was lower side of medium) I liked how the Coleslaw was neither too sweet nor too heavy on mayo. Rice & Peas was standard & unremarkable but did taste extremely fresh despite being an hour to closing time. I'd like to round them up to a 4 but that would be saying it's as good as Allwyn's & Layla's and I couldn't go that far. ( in Willowdale, they'd a 4 easily..) I still consider Rose's a solid choice. And for some customers - those who need better TTC access than Allwyn's, those who need their Island fix to be halal, or find the $5.99 deal to be an ideal price & size, it could well be a top choice in the area.

My first time trying Uyghur Cuisine! We ordered the salted milk tea, manta, dapanji, polo and nan…read morekawap. I loved everything except the milk tea - I wasn't quite expecting it to be so salty. The manta were dumplings with flavourful lamb and onion filling. The dapanji was chicken and potatoes in a stew with chewy hand pulled noodles. I really enjoyed the texture of the noodles! The polo was a buttery lamb and carrot rice that came with sides of yogurt and chopped vegetables. The nan kawap was very flavourful cumin stir fried beef with onions and naan. I'd never had bread added to stir fry before and it went great! Everything came out quickly and the servers were friendly. It's a smaller restaurant so may be a good idea to call ahead on weekend evenings.

We visited this place for a quick family lunch and it turned into one of those "I need to come…read moreback" moments. I was a bit unsure at first since Uyghur cuisine isn't something you see every day around here, but everything was incredibly well balanced and approachable. The aroma, texture, and quality of the noodles were just outstanding. We shared the Lamb Kawap (lamb skewer with Uyghur seasoning), Kidney Kawap, and Uyghur Chicken. The skewers were absolutely mesmerizing. None of that strong lamb smell you'd find at many other places, just a clean, fragrant flavor with a softer finish. Perfectly grilled too. It was my first time trying kidney skewers, and the texture really surprised me--chewy, meaty, but not heavy at all, and with no trace of that distinct lamb scent. The Uyghur Chicken was another highlight. Well-seasoned, rich in flavor but not overly spicy, and the chicken was tender through and through. Having it with their hand-pulled noodles made the whole experience even better. The sauce was so good I kept dipping the bread into it nonstop. Honestly, this place hits all the right notes. Great flavors, comforting atmosphere, and real craftsmanship in every dish. Definitely coming back soon.

The wraps themselves look unassuming. And then you take a bite out of it, and all of your prior thoughts are thrown out the window. The meat is flavourful, juicy, and well seasoned. That goes for both the beef and the chicken. Couple that with fresh veggies and a healthy amount of tahini and you've got yourself the recipe for a great shawarma. Get a couple of these and you'll be good for a long while. Cheers. Check out @foodpharaoh on Instagram for more food!

We visited here on Saturday morning and had a great dining experience. The food was fresh,…read moreflavourful, and beautifully presented. 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.

We came here for usual Friday night, date night as we had been looking at this place for a while. We have not seen a barbecued joint in this area for a long time, as we are swamped with Shawarma places. We were surprised at the generous amounts being served, and the prices being very fair. Everything tasted fresh. The place was very clean, new. The staff were very courteous and attentive, without being obtrusive. The food came quickly, and hot. You may want to try the gold sauce if you have a need for heat, it was certainly that hot. We will definitely return to this place as our go to barbeque house, for brisket. We might try the chicken next time.

On Sunday evening, my friend took me to this place so that I can try their famous paratha rolls. I…read morehave never tried them before, so I was not sure of what to expect and could not wait! We arrived around 7:30 p.m. and found the place very busy. The place was small and had six tables that could seat up to 25 people. Thankfully, we found an empty table, so we sat down and grabbed a menu from the cashier. My friend recommended chicken paratha rolls, so we decided to order four of them (two with green chutney and the other two with red chutney) and a chai. While waiting, we shared the chai. It was hot and fresh, with a blend of spices to warm us up. After a few minutes, the cashier called our order number and my friend went to the front counter to pick it up. The chicken paratha rolls were delicious- the chicken pieces were juicy and succulent, the chutney added a nice small spicy kick, and the paratha was soft, crispy and chewy. The portion size of the roll was large, so I was only able to eat one (and took the other one home). If you are in the Scarborough area, I highly recommend checking this place out!
