I believe Aish Tanoor may have changed management. Otherwise I couldn't explain the stark contrast…read morefrom my first dining experience there. First of all, the place is dirty. Second, it's completely empty, whereas the first time I was there it was bustling. We placed a large order for takeout for a dinner party. We placed the order via their online ordering system. When I came to pick up the food, I was greeted with "what order?". It took them 5 minutes to finally bother looking up the online ordering system to find the order there. Then they said it would take 45 minutes to prepare. At the time that I have hungry dinner guests waiting at home. At which point, I opted to leave. But before I left, I tried to get my money back, and the attendant was useless. He told me that he cannot do it without the manager. He called the manager and I spoke to him, and he told me that he will issue the refund the following week. The following week, the refund was not issued.. surprise surprise. I had to chase the manager for several days before the refund was finally issued. Yikes. Yikes. Yikes.

Tried out Tabule Middle Eastern Cuisine for a weekday dinner. They have three other locations…read more(Riverside, Bayview and Oakville) along with a takeout sister spot, Souk Tabule. There's a $26.00 two course prix fixe lunch (11:30am-3:00pm) along with happy hour (3:00pm-5:00pm) on weekdays. - Faux-jitos ($7.50) - Gluten free laffa flat bread ($4.00) - flat, thin with a surprisingly good chew - Babaganuj ($12.00) - smooth, slightly charcoal note. Love that you can get free pita refills - Falafel ($12.00) - perfectly cooked and crispy - Warak enab ($14.00) - simple but enjoyable - Kefta banadura ($28.00) - mixed lamb and beef skewers were delicious in the tomato garlic sauce. Rice and roasted vegetables (onion, peppers and zucchini) were plentiful. Fried onions added crunch - Grilled salmon kebabs ($27.00) - substituted for the mujadara ($2.00 extra), rice & brown lentils. Salmon was fantastic; tender and succulent

Zezafoun Syrian Cuisine located along Manor Rd near Yonge St serves up homemade, authentic Syrian…read moredishes in a cozy space. I've heard many good things about Zezafoun and was excited to finally try the place. The restaurant has about ~25 seats for customers indoors. They do have a small outdoor patio for when the weather gets warmer. Reservations are recommended during busy peak dinner or brunch times, however it is possible to get a table if you do walk in as well during non-peak times. I dined at Zezafoun with a party of 3 recently on a Sat evening. We didn't make reservations but walked in around 6:30 and was able to grab a table. It wasn't too busy that early in the evening but as the night went on the restaurant got busier. Service was great and friendly. Staff gave us plenty of time to decide what to order as well as gave us recommendations as well. The interior is warm and cozy. For drinks, I ordered the pomegranate juice which was unique and delicious. One member of my party ordered the rosewater and lemon juice which was refreshing and light. They also have Syrian coffee and tea as well on the menu which I will try next time! Food wise, we ordered and shared the following dishes: - Falafel plate (chickpeas patty fried and served with a side of tahini sauce) - Hummus (homemade chickpeas, tahini, lemon and garlic with a touch of olive oil) - Fattoush salad (Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, radish with Zezafoun dressing topped with crispy pita bread) - Kebbeh labanyeh (beef kibbeh in a cooked garlic yogurt stew served with side rice) - Maldoum (beef kufta wrapped with delicious eggplants in tomato stew and served with a side of rice) - Makloubeh (layers of rice, eggplants, and ground beef with tomato sauce served with side yogurt or salad) Food was delicious and unique! I've never had authentic Syrian food like this before and it was a delight. The appetizers we shared (falafel, hummus, and salad) were great to start the meal. The hummus was creamy and the falafel was nice and crispy. The crispy pita bread in the fattoush salad gave the dish a textural contrast, In terms of our mains, all the dishes were tasty but I especially enjoyed the makloubeh! Overall, delicious spot in Midtown Toronto for Syrian food in a cozy environment. Service was also spot on as well. Definitely want to return to try their brunch menu!

We arrived pretty late, so we didn't have enough time to explore the menu the way we wanted, but…read morewhat we did order left a lasting impression. The smoked chicken skewers were outstanding--perfectly juicy with a subtle smokiness that enhanced the flavor well-seasoned, and cooked with care. I haven't even mentioned the colliflower which should be in a yelp review on its own. The pitas deserve just as much praise. Warm, pillowy, and slightly chewy with just the right amount of char, they were exceptional on their own and the perfect companion to the chicken. I'd love to know the recipe because they're easily some of the best pitas I've had. A special shoutout to our server, Daniel, who made our first--albeit brief--visit a memorable one. His friendly service and thoughtful recommendations elevated an already fantastic meal. This first visit was enough to convince me that I'll be back, and next time I'll be arriving hungry with plenty of time to explore the rest of the menu.

I had high expectations for Fat Pasha after hearing so many positive reviews, but unfortunately my…read morevisit was disappointing from start to finish. We ordered the banana pudding and the cauliflower dish, and both were major letdowns. The banana pudding had an odd flavor and texture that made it difficult to enjoy. It didn't taste fresh or creamy, and the overall dessert just wasn't appealing. The cauliflower was even more disappointing. It had a strong off taste that gave the impression it wasn't fresh, and the flavor was unpleasant enough that I couldn't finish it. Despite all the toppings and sauces, the dish just didn't come together and left a bad impression. The service was average--nothing particularly memorable, but nothing that made the experience better either. The ambiance also wasn't to my taste. The space felt loud and cramped, and I personally didn't find it to be a comfortable or enjoyable setting for a meal. Considering the restaurant's reputation and the prices, I expected a much better experience. While the presentation of the food looked nice, the taste simply didn't live up to it. Based on this visit, I don't see myself returning or recommending it.
