We managed to snag the last available table for the evening as I saw other patrons attempt to dine in and were told the wait is long. I used to work in the area and would constantly walk by the two restaurants but given my timings, they were always closed. Pomegranate had been on my bucket list for a very long time. Luckily I managed to do just that and the experience was very pleasant. Both the food and the service were excellent. I had the lamb shank, which melted off the bone from tenderness, accompanied by an aromatic rice and salad. Also ordered Fesenjaan, which was incredibly tasty! They had a limited menu available on the day that we went. I will for sure return just for the Fesenjaan. It's flavour profile was out of this world. The restaurant is nicely decorated too. You can tell it's a busy and popular spot. Highly recommend reserving in advance.

You can't miss this place walking by on Dundas with the 6' tall image of a shisha hooka on the wall and the Arabic music blaring out thru the open doorway and bright coloured wall art inside the entrance. It's up the stairs on the second floor and has wrap around windows overlooking Dundas and around the corner too. Just an amazing view! It would be even better if they cleaned their windows regularly but maybe it's part of the charm of having all that sweet smelling smoke wafting around. Staff is super friendly and welcoming, making a noob like me feel just fine while just staring at that huge wall of hookas that greet you at the counter. There are no alcoholic drinks here, just coffee, tea and soft drinks so possibly a good option for dry January. Take a up a new vice, why not yolo. The best feature is probably the beautifully embellished lushly finished furniture and overall chill-inducing vibe surrounding you. Those couches omg are so comfy with pillows and accoutrements it's like, how the heck would you not make out with someone in there I have no idea, it's that cozy and with that low light sheesh! And the second best feature is the music, just wow, who doesn't like Arabic music? This is something you don't hear just anywhere and was blaring at a really nice level when we dropped in, early in the evening. On Saturday nights starting at 9 pm there is a DJ too, and if you haven't heard Arabic electronic dance music before you are in for a treat, as it's great and I assume that's what will be played in there. No idea if there's a dance floor, but there's plenty of room. There are events too, including belly dancing and live music so if anyone wants to visit there for any of that hit me up, I'm down!

Highly recommended!…read more The food taste extremely delicious and the staff is very nice and friendly.

The zaatar and cheese manakeesh was VERY salty, the cheese rolls were oily and too salty, the foul was straight up just beans with canned tomatoes and some fresh tomato chunks sprinkled on top, it did not resemble foul and was just not edible, and the koshary was so gross I actually could not swallow it, never tasted whatever flavour that was in koshary in my entire life, it was so wrong I can't even start to explain what was wrong with it. Not sure what is going on with this restaurant but never ordering from them again, it is actually really disappointing that this place can operate like this, giving such a poor name to Arabic food.

This is an Indian fusion food stall in the Hangout Street food court, their second in Toronto…read more Their claim to fame is fusion poutine. They also sell wraps, hotdogs, burgers, and fries. They take tastes from around the world and put it in their poutine, wraps, hotdogs, and burgers! The regular poutine costs $6.99, $7.99, and $8.99, depending on the size. If you want proteins (like Butter Chicken, Bacon Daddy, Crispy Chicke, Jerk Chicken) on the poutine, you pay and extra $3.49, $5.49, and $6.49, depending on the size. Note that these prices are not listed on the menu; I told them to list the additional charges there, and they promised to do so. We ordered the following: 1. Classic Poutine (small $6.99). 2. Butter Chicken Poutine (small $10.48). My son ate the entire Classic Poutine. He loved it! I asked for the Butter Chicken not to be covered until after I took photos. The chef made it look prettier with some fries sticking out around the circumference of the round container. Not only did it look more presentable, but it also allowed me to try the fries on its own, after I took my time taking photos and videos. The fries where not soaked in the butter chicken sauce so I could actually taste the excellent quality of the fries; they were crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, and best of all, not greasy! The chicken were diced into small pieces. The sauce was excellent. I must come back to try their wraps (like Sweet Thai Chicken and Peri-Peri) and their burgers (like Smash and Italian Sausage). There are also daily combo specials. These provide decent savings. For example, for Friday's special, if you bought them individually, it would cost $16.48, but the combo costs $11.99. This food stall opened on 2024-04-22. There is no free WiFi. The food stall is wheelchair accessible. There are no washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2024-084

I got the harissa roasted half chicken and it was excellent. I guess the secret lies somewhere between the recipe and their charcoal grill that they are grandfathered into having.
