    My fiancé and I came to this place for a weeknight date night and we really enjoyed our meal here! The atmosphere was nice and cozy and the food was quite good! To start we ordered the smoked eggplant dip which was a pretty good starter. I have to say though, the real star of the show was the chicken kebab baos! They were absolutely delicious!! The chicken was very well seasoned and the combination of flavours and textures from the slaw made it perfect!! It also had a good level of spice to it which I was not expecting. For mains, we ordered the barg steak and the chicken bukhari pilaf. We ordered the Silk Road salad on the side as well! All dishes were very good, the flavours were nice and everything was well seasoned. We had initially wanted to try the shank osmani shank because we had heard a lot about it. Unfortunately, they did not have it available that day :( Additionally, I did enjoy the steak, but I also did find some bits chewy, however I am quite picky when it comes to fatty meat. Also disclaimer, I think we ordered a little too much food for 2 people, we were stuffed by the end! Overall I had a really enjoyable experience here and would go again!

    Came in by chance one day a few weeks ago and I'm back. Place is not busy as there is no where near enough presence on busy queen st. W. This needs to change like maybe one of those floppy inflatable tube guys normally found on used car lots, as this place is a real treat. Like a trip along the silk road the food is an exploration. They do fresh veg well here. If your a fan Yotam Ottolenghi then you may love this place. On your journey you will discover delightful tastes and flavours. An exemplary experience. And that's not even mentioning the cocktails. I come back just for the Silk Road martini. Wow! Oh and a perfect hidden covered patio. If you find yourself on Queen and you're done with eating next to an exhaust pipe, pop on up.

    Came to Silk Road on a Thursday evening for date night. It was our first time here and I'm happy to say that the experience was amazing. Our server was lovely, knowledgeable, and attentive. The evening seemed pretty quite for the restaurant so our food came out quickly. Everything we had eaten was AMAZING. I highly highly recommend the Silk Road Salad, and the Shank Osmani. You will spend a bit more here but I thought it was worth it because it was so delicious. We had the pleasure to speak to the owner and she was quite lovely. Opening up during the pandemic is not easy, but they have done a great job and I will happily continue coming to this restaurant and share my great experience here!

    Latest creation, thanks for the super yum meal last night.

    Beautifully plated and loved the chef's attitude, more of a less Winner's kind of attitude, can I get an amen?

    Found this cocktail bar through a friend and immediately made a reservation after seeing the menu…read more The ingredients are complex but intentional, with East Asian influences. I found myself wanting to try most of the cocktails, which is a rarity. We got the Strawberry Tetsu to start (inspired by Uncle Tetsu's Japanese cheesecake), along with the Cloudy Oolong (tea-based cocktail with a salted caramel cheese foam). The Strawberry Tetsu tasted like a dessert and was delicious, with a graham cracker crumble rim. The Cloudy Oolong had a strong tea taste which I loved, as sometimes the tea can get lost in a cocktail. The foam on top was addicting and paired nicely with it, similar to a bubble tea. Next, I had the Burnt Yuzu which was light and refreshing from the citrus. The bar is hidden behind Misfit Ice Cream, with a speakeasy vibe to the interior. Large windows line one wall with a view to the exterior, but are tinted enough that people walking by cannot see in. Service was great, although they do have a strict 1 hr 45 min time limit for seating, regardless of whether the bar is packed or not.

    After Seven is one of the more creative cocktail bars in Toronto, hidden behind what appears to be…read morea small dessert shop. We walked up to an unassuming entrance that is part of the experience, and once inside, the atmosphere shifts completely. The space is intimate and cozy with dim lighting, comfortable seating, and a relaxed speakeasy vibe that makes it easy to settle in for a couple of drinks. The transition from the street to the interior feels deliberate, and the low-key energy of the room encourages lingering. The cocktail menu leans heavily into Asian-inspired flavors, and that is what makes it stand out. Every drink feels thoughtfully developed rather than relying on presentation alone. We tried the Cloudy Oolong, which was especially memorable with its rich tea flavor and creamy cheese foam that added a savory depth to the cocktail. The Strawberry Tetsu offered a dessert-like profile without becoming overly sweet, balancing fruit and tea notes in a way that felt refined and well composed. Each cocktail arrived beautifully presented and balanced, making it easy to appreciate the amount of care that goes into every glass. The menu is creative without being gimmicky, and the flavors are well integrated, with each drink offering something distinct. The staff were welcoming and happy to explain the menu or offer recommendations if you are unsure what to order. They guided us through the flavor profiles and offered thoughtful suggestions based on our preferences. Service felt attentive without being overbearing, and the overall pace made it a great place to relax rather than rush through a drink. The team checked in at the right moments and kept the experience feeling personal and unhurried. If you are looking for a cocktail bar that offers something different from the usual classics, After Seven delivers a memorable experience. Between the hidden entrance, intimate setting, and creative drinks, it is the kind of place that is easy to recommend whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for one of Toronto's more unique bars. The balance of atmosphere, craftsmanship, and service makes it a standout in the city's cocktail scene.
