Food to go. Yum. Cooler area up front Seems all scratch made Great on social media too to advise what's coming up on the menu, live music etc Open mic at times! 1 little washroom stall. Parking can be tight at rear Large back patio that is all gravel for now but dog friendly! I'd like to try the whole menu! I've only had so far the soup.. which was interesting. Fish? Or was it beef? Jury is still out on that. Crazy. I know I've also had the chicken enchiladas. Also good. The owner was surprised at how much sauce was served to me in my dish but I did request, extra spicy! They are and will do great here. Recommended!

Lots of options. Customer service was just ok. Clean and very NOW. Modern dining of say, kale as the salad base, good carbs as in sweet potoatos, every bowl weighed, only recyclable bowls and utensils given, tofu OR chicken. That kind of thing. I finally settled on the Thai chicken bowl, fully prepared to take it home and doctor it up. I love my black pepper, cayenne and sea salt if needed. This bowl needed nothing. All I asked of the staff was extra hot sauce on top. I ate it all, so good and no guilt. Better than the pizza I've been dreaming about getting but I stayed on track! Everything went well together. The quality of the white chicken was very good, slightly warmed and I loved the rice noodles! I'd come back and would recommend.

Lunch yesterday--my wife n' I visited for the first time--celebrating my birthday. Work colleagues had raved about the good food and service at The Cheshire Cat Pub. Our visit absolutely confirmed their perceptions--wow!!! Based on our experience we'll add an additional x15+++ to their 'rave' sentiments. A dedicated a top notch team effort from reservation, meal and final wrap up! The food, venue, the entire Cheshire Cat Pub Team working in unison made for an outstanding birthday celebration experience!

To the The Cheshire Cat Pub...your teamwork and dedication to excellance is commendable. Kudos to all of you.

I was in Kanata and after searching for restaurants nearby, found out that there was a PiRho Grill…read moreon Hazeldean Road. I've been wanting to try PiRho Grill for the longest time. I am a sucker for create your own bowls filled with veggies and sauces. I looked over the menu beforehand and had an idea of what I wanted. My husband was not too familiar with this place, so he just followed my lead. We were both greeted right away when we walked into the very clean restaurant. Service was friendly, and the staff was super patient and walked us through everything. We both settled on the grain bowl. I topped mine with tzaziki, spicy harissa, shredded lettuce, red cabbage, red beet quinoa, pickled peppers, pickled onion and tomato and cucumbers. I got the vegan option for protein which is the zucchini fritters, and topped it all off with lemon tahini thyme dressing. I also got a side pita and a vegan granola ball for the kid. I found the bowl OK. It was very pretty, but I am not sure if I did my best creating it. It was missing some acidity and nothing really stood out. I would skip the spicy harissa next time as I was not a fan of it. I also did not like the zucchini fritters, which I was so looking forward to trying. On a positive note, the red beet quinoa was amazing. My hubby had the same thoughts about his bowl and was not wow'd. The star of the show was that pita. It was fresh and chewy. I think next time I go, I will try out a wrap.

I still remember when I discovered the original PiRho Grill down in Barrhaven 4 years ago. I…read moreabsolutely loved it. The whole "salad/grain bowl movement" was new to Ottawa and the Mediterranean flair of PiRho Grill reeled me in. I spoke with Tom, one of the owners, and even back then he was thinking of opening up multiple locations. I urged him to open one in Westboro, but it hasn't happened yet (Tom, if you're reading this, please think about it, the only salad place I have in my 'hood is Freshii, of which I am not a fan. I don't like tasteless and spongy chicken, please help me out! Lol). Anyway, they opened up the location downtown on Elgin next, then this one on Hazeldean in Kanata. Maybe it's because the Barrhaven location was where I had my first taste of PiRho Grill and thus has a special place in my heart, but I found the food not as flavourful at this Kanata location. It's still really good, and in my opinion so much better than the national chains of salad places, just not as good as the Barrhaven location ;) I had the salad bowl ($12.25) and chose a mix of all the greens. For my dips I got the eggplant one and the red pepper hummus. For my protein I got half chicken and half baked zucchini cakes (so I got 1 cake). For toppings I got cucumber and tomato salad, roasted beet quinoa, red cabbage and crumbled feta. I was really tempted to get the pita crisps because they are really good, but I'm trying to limit my carbs and reduce my gluten intake, albeit to the chagrin of my taste buds. For the dressing, I got it on the side and I got the yogurt dill, which tastes a little like tzatziki. Service was friendly and efficient. During this Covid-19 Pandemic staff were wearing masks. We were in Stage 3 of re-openings so indoor dining was allowed and their indoor dining space was open. They also have patio seating. I took my food to go and did my favourite thing: ate in my car! Yep, the secret's out, I love eating alone in my car parked in a parking lot or on the street. I did this long before the Pandemic, I just appear less weird doing it now! If I really like ya, I'll invite you to eat in my car with me, but this invitation has been extended to very few people (and now with the Pandemic even less people, lol). Alright, enough about me and my idiosyncrasies, back to the restaurant... So the restaurant is in a plaza with lots of free parking. It's in the same plaza as Chocolats Favoris, Starbucks, and Farm Boy. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Kanata and like salad or grain bowls. They have wraps as well!

We didn't want chain fast food that would make us feel icky during our drive, and my mom quickly found this place. Had no idea what to expect when we walked in. Honestly didn't even know if it was open because the lights were off and not really any music was playing. But we were greeted and sat at a table near the window since we were the only ones in there. I ordered the Ashe-Reshteh soup and the Fattoush. I devoured both as they were incredible. That Ashe-Reshteh though... I still dream about that. It warmed not only my belly, but also my soul. Mom had lentil soup (very good, but mine was more my favorite) and fattoush as well. I'm sad as I'll probably never be in that region again, but if I am, I'm immediately returning to ParsItal. Thank you for the wonderful lunch. We loved it so much.

We were really happy with our experience. The lady who served us was very friendly and gave us helpful suggestions on what to order that would go together. We ordered the garlic shallot yogurt appetizer and the barbecue eggplant appetizer, and split the lamb shank. All were fantastic! The lamb came with a big plate of rice, and all the flavors were different yet melded well. We saved room for the homemade Persian ice cream for dessert that we heard discussed at another table. One order comes with three scoops, so it is definitely enough to share. The ice cream was flavored with saffron and other spices, and flecked with tiny crunchy pieces of pistachio. It was really delicious - fresh and herbal-tasting. We are so glad we stopped in to this place for dinner. Highly recommend.

Everything tasted delicious, the Kofte plate of well-seasoned beef, a light and refreshing tomato Shepherds salad. You must try the Manti, doughy meat-filled dumplings smothered in a creamy tangy yogurt, an instant comfort-good classic. The home-made rice pudding was excellent, too. The restaurant is very small and casual (think three tables, and roadside-eatery vibe) and service, while very friendly and accommodating, can be quite slow. So be prepared to spend some time. Parking is also a bit difficult with roadside parking next to a major road.
