Wow! What a surprising find in this random corner of Toronto…read more I was out for a walk with a friend and decided to check out Leziz for dinner. Thankfully they had dine-in available and we didn't have to do take out in the car. Let's face it... we are all a bit tired of cold take out meals. Upon entering, a woman greeted us, checked our vaccine passports and had us seated promptly. I think it was Selda (the owner)? She was friendly and explained a couple items on the menu we were interested in. We wanted to try the Tarhana soup, and we got a lamb pita and a chicken pita - with hot sauce! The soup was delightful, with layers of flavours, and a unique tangy finish. I couldn't figure out what that was.... but I would absolutely order that again. It was a perfect dish to warm up with. The pitas were huge. LIke... HUGE WIth generous meat potions, the wraps were bursting with flavour. They were quite messy, but most delicious things are right?! During the time we were seated, quite a few people came by to pick up orders. Given the location, they probably don't get a lot of walk-in customers dining in... but they have an excellent take out operation going on. It's really too bad I am not in the area often, but I would make a detour for some Tarhana soup and chicken pita any day! :)

They had a day where you could get 50% off so it was a no brainer to try. Worked out well for us…read more Got a bowl and a platter. Bowl was chicken on rice and fries, pretty good. Platter had chicken, hummus, three sides, pretty good. Chicken was pretty dry, so that's why they put all that sauce! Was adequate with the taste. Sides were great. Fattoosh salad, proper. Potatoes kind of dry still. But I'm not complaining for half off!

I've dropped by Mooring Eats a couple of times. Both visits involved picking up baklava for my dad,…read moreincluding a quick-and-dirty visit yesterday. My first visit was a few months ago after work. This eatery is in Mimico. I used to hang out in this area fairly often several years ago, so it helped that I was kind of familiar with the area. As with many neighbourhoods in Toronto, things change quickly! Both times, I found a parking spot facing Lake Shore Boulevard West, steps away from the store. This eatery is located in a plaza. There is additional parking to the left of the eatery. I walked into Mooring Eats and it was busy. It smelled good. I got the warmest smile from Spiro at the order counter. His son, Wagih, was working alongside him. Both own the eatery. I ordered the mixed shawarma plate a few months ago, which consists of chicken and beef shawarma, with your choice of two sides. Wagih asked me what sides I wanted. I had no idea what sides were available. He was so patient and kind to point them out. I went with chickpea salad and basmati rice. Spiro was generous to say that I could get more sides if I wanted to. I was okay with the two that I chose because they looked so good. Both of them helped put my plate together. I got tahini and garlic sauce. The plate comes with pickled turnips and pickles. I also got baklava for my dad during my first visit. He has always loved baklava and it looked so good in the clear boxes in front of me. Spiro wanted to confirm whether I was going to dine in or do takeout. I went with the latter, as I was flying to the Twin Cities the next day and needed to pack. He put both my items in a bag and handed it over to me. I thanked them both for the food. They hoped that I'd enjoy my food. It looked so good. I headed to my car, backed my car onto the street, and headed home. I visited my parents first before I headed home the first time I got my dad baklava. I dropped it off. My dad's eyes lit up. He insisted that I have a couple of squares. There were six. I ate two. I loved them. The baklava isn't drenched in honey. It was slightly sweet, with the pistachio nuts and flaky pastry standing out more. I am not a huge baklava person because I dislike how sweet it can get, but I am a fan of this version. I flew out to the Twin Cities the following day. My dad told me that he ate the whole thing after I had left. Note to self: Get two boxes for my dad next time. Guess what I did yesterday? I got my dad two boxes. It's Sunday. Guess how many boxes are left? One. I did well getting two boxes this time. The chicken and beef shawarma plate that I had months ago was delicious. The seasoning was perfect and the proteins were tender. I loved the garlic sauce and tahini. The garlic was pretty strong, which I prefer. The tahini was excellent. The chickpea salad was yummy. It was refreshing with the lemon in it and it had garlic, too. I loved the basmati rice. It was so fluffy and comforting eating it with my shawarma. It was great dropping by yesterday to get baklava for my dad. I'm not in this neighbourhood often, but it worked out so well after watching a movie at Cineplex Queensway. I'll be back for more, especially when my dad runs out of baklava. (180)

First time trying La Vita down at Port Credit in the middle of the week, and I'm so glad I did. The…read moreinterior had a moody atmosphere with simple and clean design. I ordered the Pumpkin Gnocchi (5/5) and Soppressata Diavola (5/5). Pumpkin Gnocchi was pillowy soft with a creamy yet delicately sweet sauce. It also had a nutty flavour to it from the toasted pine nuts. The short rib was delicious. Highly recommend this dish. Soppressata Diavola had a mild kick to it balanced with flavours of the tomato sauce and herbs. The dough itself was made well with the perfect balance between chewiness and crispiness. I'd order this again. The server we had was welcoming and patient. She was patient and did not make us feel rushed at all. We didnt realize that they were already closed because we were deep in our conversation and there were still a group two tables down from ours (we found out it was the owners). We felt really bad for overstaying but the owner was so sweet and even took the time to have a quick chat with us.

I was walking home from a car-repair shop and I figured I'd grab a quick dinner to take with me…read more I'd been curious about Fairouz, so I went ahead and ordered the Chicken Kebab Wrap ("Tender chicken kebab wrapped in saj bread, offering a delightful blend of spices and flavors"). I got it home and it's decent. The chicken kebab is obviously the star here; it's very tender and packed with flavor. The rest of the concoction is just so-so, as nothing really stood out or knocked my socks off. (I will say that this is one of the puniest wraps I've ever eaten. I feel like I took about five bites and it was finished, which is especially disappointing given that it costs almost $20.) The inside of the restaurant seemed pretty cool, so I think I'll probably return sometime to have a full-fledged meal.

The open kitchen aspect with the wood fire oven is gorgeous and I enjoyed sitting next to it so I could see everything happen. Staff (seemed like father-daughter) are so nice.
