The beer that was served to my friends seemed to be fine but my diet coke was flat unfortunately. We had a trainee server which might have contributed to our bills being completely messed up but we just paid them anyway...no biggie. I thought it was odd that we didn't receive an actual bill. However, we could see what we were paying for on the payment terminal if we asked. They missed an opportunity to share a QR code or ask customers to submit a review...but I'm submitting a review anyway.

I was excited to finally order from Butt Karahi restaurant, as both the Pickering and Mississauga…read morelocation have earned many favorable reviews. We ordered Special Mutton Karahi, Khoye Wali Channy, Veal Pullao, butter naan and garlic naan, as well as some mint chutney. 35 minutes later, I was picking up my food! The friendly hostesses assured me that it was ready, and I was really pleased to see how welcoming and spacious the restaurant was, with a covered, outdoor eating area as well. I filed this away for a future visit. My husband and I enjoyed all the dishes! The lamb karahi, which we ordered at a medium spicy level, packed an initially subtle, but gradually building heat. Medium was the right level for us, as we could still enjoy the very flavorful karahi without being overwhelmed by spice. The lamb was very tender and beautifully complimented by the savory karahi sauce. This was my first time trying Khoye Wali Channy, and the menu describes it as "a taste of Lahore's rich culinary heritage." Sure enough, when I tried to look up recipes for it, they were all in Urdu!! Anyway, the praise is certainly warranted: it is a fragrant and flavorful, with a mild heat. The flavourful preparation mitigated the basic bland, starchy flavor of chickpeas, resulting in a crave-worthy and filling chickpea dish. The veal pulao was delicious, with expertly prepared, aromatic rice and beautifully tender veal. Both my husband and I are eager to try some of the other menu choices. I would like to try the Makhmali Chicken Karahi, and also to eat in the restaurant itself. Amidst some stiff competition, with many excellent Pakistani restaurants in Pickering, Butt Karahi really shines.

On my quest to try new restaurants this year, Butt Karahi was definitely on my list…read more The restaurant itself is really nice inside with a variety of seating options. Regular tables, comfy casual chairs or hightop benches in little alcoves. There are TV's everywhere so I imagine this place is quite active during game nights and other events. We came early evening during Ramadan so I'm sure it was the calm before the storm (so-to-speak). We were greeted at the door and offered anywhere we wanted to sit in the restaurant. They don't have paper menus so you'll have to either scan a QR code or go to their website to look at the menu. Our server walked us through some of the dishes and explained how some of the dishes were presented. We opted for the rice dish, Yakhni Pulao and garlic naan with butter. The dish was big enough to share between two to three people and I would have only needed to order one naan as they're quite large. The veal was so tender and delicious and the rice was extremely flavourful. The dish over all had the slightest amount of heat. Nothing overwhelming, just a nice slight warmth. If you don't like spice, I'm sure it's something they could leave out. The naan was incredibly delicious and I would definitely order the garlic one again. I was really impressed with restaurant. From the staff to the layout to the food, everything was excellent and I left (before the rush that was sure to come after sundown), with a very happy belly! I will definitely be back.

We were greeted as soon as we stepped in and everyone there seemed welcoming and helpful. There are a few tables so you can definitely eat in but I suspect the majority of their business is takeaway. We ordered the jerk chicken and butter chicken bowls. Both contained rice, onions, tomatoes garlic sauce. The jerk chicken also had pineapple and crispy things. Both dishes were flavourful and satisfying. Just before ours was being prepared, we saw them preparing a falafel bowl which looked quite good. I might give that one a try next time.

Their delicious KamJaTang Jeongol, aka Korean Pork Bone Soup, and their BBQ Pork Chops, are perfect for warming you up. Dining with my aunt and uncle, we had the large version of the soup, served in a big pot on a burner at the table. It was loaded with lots of meat, potatoes, vegetables, and tons of flavour. As good as it was, it was more than we could finish so they topped up the soup and we took home the leftovers. The pork chops were served on a sizzling platter, nice and hot. It was delicious! We barely managed to finish this one. Both dishes were perfect for the cold weather, and included rice and traditional side dishes - kimchi, bean sprouts, pickled radishes, and pickled cucumbers. As usual, the service was excellent - friendly and efficient. They also offer a 10% discount for paying cash. Check them out at Kingston Rd and Liverpool, in Pickering.

Captain's Boil, the formulaic chain would be the floor and the one I really enjoyed, Lobster Boil Seafood House, in North York would be the ceiling. What I'm about to say about Sea Salt would definitely leave their management a bit "salty". Unequivocally, Sea Salt sits in the deep basement of the pecking order. Sea Salt's standing was easily determined after my first spoonful of the seafood broil. The sauce was their downfall as they went overboard with the of garlic and not to mention they burnt the garlic. As the Cajun sauce is the soul of a seafood boil, their sauce literally ruined the entire dish and experience. The combo we ordered came with fried calamari and shrimp and fries. The fried calamari and shrimp lacked a bit of "salt", which is rather ironic considering the restaurant's name and neither of the sauce complimented (sweet chilli and ranch) the calamari well. The fries were what you expected it to be. But a little bit too much sauce. The one thing that I liked was you could choose to have the Turkish Salaam Cola as part of your combo drink choice. I didn't think it was all that different from regular cola, but it was nice to try. Service is quite slow here and not super attentive. We had to flag them down various times to get things that should have been provided. We weren't given enough plates to start and we had to request for bibs and disposable gloves. These are pretty standard things at other boil places. In general, the appetizers were better than the seafood boil. The portion of the combo was pretty good so we packed some of it to go. But to put things into perspective, the following day I reheated the food for lunch, and my two kids didn't even touch it (with one of them who had experienced Lobster Boil Seafood house). That tells you something!

You go girls I love it. Came here for dinner and had a hard time choosing what to order as there are so many good options on the menu. Really wanted the calamari & shrimp appetizer but opted in for the shrimp bucket and the fish and chips. I also got a coconut mango drink which was super refreshing and delicious. I thought the fish tacos had a kick of spice added but they were still good. The fries were crispy, which I loved but the highlight for me has to be the shrimp. I loveeeeed the sea salt sauce. Though I usually don't like corn, I loved this one and enjoyed the meal. Would come back here for more for sure!

We had (take out) #Pizza Margharita I appoint this as the best Margharita in Durham region. No complain. The crust, tomato sauce, cheese and big generous aromatic basil leaves - simple beauty. #Pearfect Bite This is added to another favorite of mine at 468F Wood Fired Pizza! Sweet and savory combination - Sweet pear slices meet saltiness from pancetta and 2 cheese Fior di latte, flurry ricotta. Walnut pieces added extra texture, and acidity & sweetness from glazed balsamic completes the taste of the whole. Highly recommended! #Di Parma This is good, tad salty side, but I appreciated the bitterness of arugula, nuttiness from parmigiano, and again the reduced glazed balsamic' rounding up of the whole flavors. I cannot wait coming back here again to try new pizza items (but I cannot miss Margharita - that is my must item)!

The miso soup was inconsistent... his was a proper miso whereas mine was more of a bowl of hot water (see pic). We also never received the salad.
