The staff, including the owner, are all super friendly. We sat on the patio and were lucky to catch live entertainment by Jan/Blackhat, who had an excellent, soft voice and played great tunes on his guitar--very enjoyable. We were pleasantly surprised by a complimentary warm and toasty pita with excellent hummus, reminding us of how restaurants used to be. It was a delightful touch. I ordered the beef and lamb patties, which came with long-grain rice, roasted carrots, broccoli florets, and two sauces--tzatziki and a carrot/pepper spread. The patties were very tender and the dish was excellent. It also came with a delicious Greek salad. My wife had the vegetable moussaka, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience that we would highly recommend. Cheers

(There is parking behind the building but most people park across the street). They also have a wonderful buffet - check it out!! Special thanks to Erin our amazing server and the owners Vaughn and Sharon. We will definitely come back Next time we are in Niagara Falls!

We were told the patio was first come, first serve. We were able to secure a spot right by the water which was amazing!! They had a great selection of wine & cocktails. We ordered the mushroom flatbread to share and it was delish. I was a little adventurous and opted for the mac & cheese with shrimp but the mac = gnocchi. It was delicious and very rich. At the end, we were too full so we took dessert to go. Overall, I was very satisfied with my dining experience here. I would definitely return!!

If you enjoy condiments the semolina crusted calamari ($26) comes with four dipping sauces:…read moresweet-curried aioli, sweet chili, basil pesto aioli, and sriracha aioli. It would've been nice if at least one packed a bit of heat, but they're all tame, adding flavour without overpowering the squid. Thankfully, the semolina crust was excellent - crunchy, light, and not oily at all. The portion is generous and easily shareable between two or three people. A newer addition to the menu is the short rib sandwich ($34), and it's a good one. Large chunks of tender, flavourful beef are topped with sautéed mushrooms, crispy onions, arugula, and brie. The cheese adds a creamy richness that makes the sandwich stand out. The menu notes a horseradish aioli, but any zing from it gets buried under the slightly sweet braising sauce, which was too sugary for my taste. I would've preferred it kept more savoury. The sandwich is already quite saucy, and yet more sauce arrives on the side. Good for fries if you choose to switch the salad to spuds. After hearing plenty about the Great Canadian Burger ($29), I couldn't resist splitting one, though I ultimately wish I hadn't. The short rib sandwich is better. The burger is hefty, with a thick beef patty that's overly dense and heavily mixed, giving it more of a frozen-patty texture than the crumbly tenderness of a good homemade one. The potato bun also struggled to hold up against the avalanche of toppings: grilled peameal bacon, cheddar, onion, tomato, arugula, pickle, and two sauces. I'm not sure why the kitchen insists on sweetening everything - the burger comes with caramelized onion bacon jam and a maple chipotle aioli, both quite sugary. If you enjoy sweeter savoury dishes, you'll probably like it. Otherwise, I'd skip the handhelds. On our weekday lunch visit, the restaurant was well staffed and attentive. Even though we never felt rushed, we were in and out within about an hour. If anything, the service bordered on overly attentive... during that hour we were interrupted six times by four different people checking if everything was okay. My suggestion: let the primary server handle most of the check-ins, and only have others step in if things get busy.

I absolutely love that they now have a Southtowns location! We definitely need more ethnic food…read moreoptions in the area, and I'm so glad we were able to sample them at a recent event. Now I'm already anxious to head over to their restaurant. Typically, I'm not someone who orders rice dishes, but their tandoori chicken completely changed my mind. The sauce tied everything together beautifully and made the whole dish incredibly flavorful. I can't wait to bring my gluten-free mom there because I know she'll love it too. I also had the chance to try their vegetable samosa -- a delicious crispy fried pastry filled with a savory potato and veggie mixture. It honestly reminded me of a flavorful Indian-style stuffing. I would absolutely order both again. Great service at the stand, friendly staff, and they truly know how to make comforting Indian cuisine.

Although we we the first people there at 1pm for dine-in, there was a steady stream of take-out orders getting picked up, as well as other (mostly men) coming to dine. The chairs are wide and overstuffed, and the tables are just the right height. It's a, "have another bite" atmosphere. There are long prayers coming from the speakers. Even a non-Arabic speaker like me knows that, "Bismillah" doesn't rhyme! The better half's take on his kebab? "This is the best lamb I've ever had!". I thought the shwarma and fries were great, but the hummus served with warm pita, some fruity, green olive oil, and a sprinkling of sumac/ za'atar really knocked it out of the park. I was dipping my fries in it! We ended the meal with a long slice of pistachio backlava. Oh, so good!

I was originally going to go to Amira's kitchen, but for some reason it was closed, so I did see…read moregood reviews on this place. I was sadly mistaken because the food was not at all to the level that it should have been at. I ordered the baba ganoush. which was fine, but seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. I also ordered the chicken tawook plate. First of all, I must say that this is not chicken breast, but it seemed like there were dark pieces as well as fat still on the chicken, which made for a worse taste. I made sure to ask before, but I don't know where the miscommunication happened. The chicken lacked flavor, but more importantly, it was not fully cooked and was squishy. I was able to take a photo because I was in a rush and the only parts of the chicken that I was able to eat were when I had to cut a piece off of cooked meat. I wish them nothing but the best, but the quality of food needs to get better for this to be edible because uncooked meat is very unsafe. That was very disappointed with my food and I wish I could've stayed back to speak to the owner, but he had left at the time. I have nothing more to say Also, this was not a cheap meal, so this makes for a worse experience, I hope the owner reaches out
