    Beautifully decorated restaurant with traditional and ornate serving pieces that adds to the enjoyment of your meal. Everything was presented elegantly and the food was full of flavour. Great middle eastern food! Our server was lovely and answered all of our questions about the menu. Worth the drive to Mississauga!

    Roman Zaman has been such an incredible place to have breakfast and lunch when you have a spontaneous decision to go out for food. Each time I have gone the food has been incredible. Although a very busy place, someone is always at the door to greet and seat you somewhere. The staff are direct and quick to get your order which is actually really nice because you avoid those fake conversations that occur because they want tips. The staff here are ready and polite when they get your order and provide you with it in efficient time, which I loved a lot to be honest! The ambiance is actually flexible so to speak. Many people do come here dressed super casual, but even if you were to dress up you wouldn't be "out of touch." You would still fit in. The ambience is catered to both fancy and casual. So do wear what you choose, it gives off a fancy and classy vibe simultaneously. This place is in a plaza so there is ample parking but there is limited parking directly in front of the store.

    Egg and sausage Fokharat
    Maya L.

    Came here with some friends for a quick lunch. My friends both ordered the shawarmas and I ordered the sausage and egg Fokharat. I enjoyed the sausage, however the overall dish had no flavour and was very oily. The shawarma was also a bit dry. The servers took a long time getting our order and getting our food. I really enjoyed the interior and ambiance. I would come here for a snack or share a grilled platter.

    Kanafeh

    Very cute Syrian style restaurant with authentic decor and a fountain in the center. The food was excellent (we ordered mixed kebabs, shawarma, meat saj, arayes, tabouli, fattoush, and hummus) and especially loved the fresh mint lemonade! Service was great as well. For dessert, we got the kanafeh (which is made fresh and takes 15-25 minutes depending on size, so try to order in advance). Unfortunately, they were out of the pistachio ice cream which is the only thing that would have made this visit even better.

    Kanafeh and mint tea

    I won't comment on their food because I've been here several times to eat and the quality of their food constantly changes. However, just last week I went to try their kanafeh and tea (my mom had their Turkish coffee too. At $8 the kanafeh is definitely Overpriced especially considering I live near Dearborn in Michigan where I never pay more than $3.50 for a slice of kanafeh larger than this. I will however say that because these kanafeh are personal sizes and always come out piping hot and fresh, I loved every bite of this. Not to mention the cheese was in perfect proportion and was delicious. I also thought the tea at $5 was a little overpriced but they provide enough for at least 2-3 small glass cups so we shared two of them in a group of 4.

    All that glitters is not gold is a perfect proverb which describes my experience at this restaurant! I was very thrilled about trying this new restaurant in the area and wanted to unravel the hype it had around it and to my disappointment the experience as far as the service and food was beyond pathetic! The only reason I would give it one star is due to the beautiful decor and effort to create a beautiful ambience apart from that that the restaurant has literally nothing to offer. We walked in on a weeknight and got seated.After being seated we actually had to call in the server to take our order for the appetizer which was humus beiruty and a soup.Well the humus was below average and dry and came out immediately after the order placed but the soup took another 15 mins to be sent to our table. Later we ordered chicken shawrma, mixed grill and kebabs.All our food came in intervals.First came chicken shawrma which was dry and flavorless.Next after asking for our remaining food the next two items came after a gap of 15 minutes.It all seemed like a joke to us-here we came to sit and enjoy this new restaurant instead we were served with our dinner in bits and pieces-All the mixed grill items looked appetizing but we're extremely dry and flavorless.They lacked the smokey grill taste to it.When we called the server and expressed our concern of the food being extremely dry she told us..THIS IS OUR STANDARD AND SAID TO ME YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE TO SAY THIS..HELLO???The staff needs to be trained to address to the complains/concerns in a better and more professional manner. We also had to call our server to give us our water glasses which I thought was absolutely bizarre. Lastly we didn't order any desert assuming the flavor would be as pathetic as the flavor of the food and honestly didn't have the patience to wait any longer!!

    Hummus

    Service was great 10/10! Food was great, we were starving so we ordered quite a lot. Portions were huge and so good. The inside feels a bit dated.

    Been trying to come to this place for some time now, and finally had the chance to try it yesterday. The only good thing I found about this restaurant is the interior decorations and the presentation. Which is unfortunate because it's really nice from the inside, and the food presented nicely. Although i'm so against serving water in little metal glasses, you can so get a metal taste in the water. When I asked for a regular glass, i got some big bulky Mason Jar to drink from, which I couldn't do that neither! Since this was my first time and I like to try new items, I ordered a-lot of appetizers with the anticipation of them all being GREAT, but that wasn't the case. For someone who doesn't know middle-eastern food or doesn't come from that region, i'm sure it's perfect. But for someone's home cuisine, this was missing flavour, spices, texture and everything.. I ordered the following apps: 1) hummus with beef: hummus is below average, beef is cold beef shawarma cut (not fresh, not juicy) 1/5 2) Sausage, they only give like small 5 or 6 pieces, they were cold, no molasses in them, no flavour, just whole lot of flavourless spice! 0/5 3) chicken liver: 0/5 4) chicken wings: 0/5 5) tabouleh Salad: 2/5 6) Gargir Salad: 5/5 For dinner I order the chicken scallop, which might be so many other things but certainly NOT a scallop, this is not how scallops are made in a perfect world. The breading was bad, no crumbs, seems like they only use eggs and flour, presentation wasn't invited at all, it tasted more like fish & chips! As for desert, I ordered Kunafa hoping that this would save the day, because A real good kunafa is rare to find, and they said their's was the best. I honestly had one bite of my kunafa, and STOPPED! Probably the worst thing I've had in quite some time. Service was on the border line of 'okay-ish & bad'! The experience didn't go as expected unfortunately, and the food taste was probably the worst i've had in this category of cuisines. I will not return

    The atmosphere is very weird, the dining vibes are not it. It's open concept, lighting feels off,…read morethe seating is very dated and feels like you're at a low tier fast-food / run down mom and pop restaurant not a steakhouse. The service is not very attentive, we were seated and told to use the qr code for the menu. We picked our items and not one waiter decide to come back to take our order. We had to flag down a waiter, to give in our order. When the food arrive, they weren't even sure if it was for our table, the staff never came back to check if everything was okay. We had to also flag them down to get take out boxes, and again for the bill. The food: the appetizer, we ordered the calamari it had good flavours and were crispy. Slighly more oily but still delicious. The jerk chicken had good flavours and was very tender. The veggie upgrade is NOT worth it and extra $3 for 5 carrots and 3 broccolis. The rib eye steak was okay, the cut is not the best. The hot stone makes the table very hot, the plate holding it was cracked and hazardous imo. Fries in general were tasty and the 3 different sauces were good. In general this place needs to step it up a little, atleast with service since it's the easiest thing to change. The decor can come after..

    We had come here on a Saturday evening at 6:00 pm for dinner. When we had arrived, it wasn't too…read morebusy however, we had made reservations in advance just in case they were needed. We were given a booth near the entrance of the restaurant, then given menus to choose our items from. We also noticed that there was a QR code on the table, in which we were able to scan and view the menu on our phones. Once we had chosen our items, we waited patiently, while admiring the music playing on the loudspeaker, and the television screens showcasing the menu items in video format. The restaurant itself was dark, with moderate lighting, and a calm ambiance. More guests started to come as we were seated, and the restaurant became busier. Since we had ordered an appetizer, we were waiting on that to arrive while watching other guests arrive. Calamari was the appetizer in which we had chosen, as we both enjoy eating it. It was a tad spicy, and didn't have a lot of sauce on the plate to dip the calamari into. However, it did have a nice kick to it, and was easily eaten by us both. We then had to wait another ten to fifteen minutes to receive only my meal, which was the hamburger with melted cheese. We would have liked to receive our meals together however, the lamb that my husband ordered took much longer to arrive. Since the lamb came about fifteen minutes after the hamburger, the kitchen provided us with a complimentary salad, which we found generous. Both the lamb and hamburger meals were well-prepared and tasty however once again, not enough dipping sauce was provided for fries, and the salad on the plate with the lamb was covered with the sauce used for the lamb. Service was great throughout the entire night, with the server coming by to check on us, and apologize for the long wait for the lamb to arrive. Overall, this restaurant had tasty food and a chic ambiance however, the prices were a little high, and some of the presentation items (lack of sauce, slow service) were a bit of a let down. However, this place definitely had a lot of options, and would surely satisfy any hungry individual looking for a well-made meal.

I've only tried it myself once, and honestly, it wasn't quite to my personal taste. But food is very subjective, and I'm clearly in the minority in my family! My kids both when they were teenagers and now as adults--have always loved it, and my nephew and niece are big fans as well. The portions were good from what I remember, and the restaurant always seems busy, which says a lot. Just because it wasn't my favorite doesn't mean it isn't doing something right. When so many young people keep coming back and ordering from the same place year after year, that's usually a sign that they're doing a good job. If you're into this style of food, there's a good chance you'll enjoy it as much as the younger generation in my family does!

    I'd been curious about Holy Cow for a while, so when we had a little time to kill in between TIFF…read morescreenings, I figured what better excuse to finally pop in. We zeroed in on the lunch menu and I eventually opted for the Beef Don ("Beef chuck marinated in housemade BBQ sauce with Japanese steam rice"), which came with small bowls of potato salad and soup. I didn't know what to expect from that aforementioned potato salad, but it definitely hit the spot. Perhaps a touch too salty, but otherwise very satisfying. The soup was great, too. The main arrived shortly after that and was nice and hot. It's a tasty dish. The tender meat has a lot of flavor and the rice is a perfect accompaniment. I wish there was some tableside sauce I could've added, as I love a saucy rice dish, but that's a minor complaint. The service was efficient and friendly, and the ambiance was comfortable.
