The owner and his staff of welcoming and friendly and are there to explain the menu and even gave us some sample to try. First dish was the hummus. It reminded me when I was back touring the Middle East. The hummus was so fresh and you can taste the ingredients with a hint of lemon juice. It was so good we order another one. Second dish Muhuhammara This is a dish with garlic, pepper, walnuts and outlive oil. This was a hit. I could not believe how good it tasted and how fresh it tatsted Third Roasted cauliflower This is one of my favorite things to eat and they did it perfectly. Roasted and seasoned just the way I like it. They put a touch of tahini on top. I would of gotten more but they sold out. 4th dish Grilled chicken in lemon Usually the chicken is dry. Not here it was supper moist and the Lemmon sauce was right on point. Not to overpowering. It blended well with all the spicies. This is a must try if you like Mediterranean food. not only is the food amazing the staff go out of the way to make you feel welcome

We came here for Sunday brunch…read more There's no reservations and the place is very small, they give you a number and you wait until they call you. We waited for about 30 mins and we were seated. The place is very small that the tables are all so close to each other, you can clearly hear other ppls conservation, it's very loud and there's also alot of families with kids If you are looking to go somewhere quit to eat brunch this is not the place to go. When you seat down they give you tea, the tea wasn't to my liking at all. They don't offer glasses of water so we got bottle of water? They also give you complimentary plate of olives, turnip, cucumber and tomatoes. We ordered the spicy cheese and zahtaar sage, that was very good, I think it was my favorite. It was very big and came on a board. We also got the professor lebneh, the tahini foul and the meat egg, they were okay nothing especially, the tahini foul was lemony, I felt like there was just too much lemon in there. Will I go back I don't know, this is not a place you would go every week, it's a once a few months vibes

Oh my my my! I don't even know where to begin…read more We needed a lunch spot that would appeal to the palate of our friend visiting from overseas. She was also on her way back home that day so we wanted to send her off with some good food memories. We needed spicy, vegetarian, and filling. The way I was googling, flipping through Eater. Woo - the pressure! Sumac was it because like who doesn't love falafel?? (If you don't, then be quiet and keep scrolling). We kept it simple with 3 pitas and a large order of spicy lamb fries without the lamb, but with the spice. I've never seen such huge pita in my life. Even at the very bottom there were still falafel. And the fries. I could cry. The pita was very soft and flavorful. The food was a work of art. Things: -chair and bench style seating. I was comfortable in the chair which is always a win. -service was excellent. You choose a seat then order at the counter. Someone clears your plates and mess. -they don't take AMEX

We are on an odd schedule up here do to the time falling back and all. So it's 5pm which was normally 6pm 2 days ago, Sumac is the only place open. Half the other food spots are closed at 4, coming at 5pm or opens at 6pm. I'm starving so waiting is not an option! Thank you so much for being opening and have great food.

I really enjoy eating at Grillades Torino whenever I find them. Sure they're now a franchised food…read morecourt establishment found in many locations but that's a good thing since their food is pretty good for "food court" food and hopefully will raise the standard found at other locations. In fact, most of the options are on par what you'd find at a conventional resto without paying the price of a resto. The filet mignon, the chicken are phenomenal and certain plates you can add a few side dishes... you'll find yourself walking away with a huge tray with a delicious meal waiting to be destroyed. As far side dishes go, there's a wealth of options but for me... some were hits and misses. I went with the filet mignon and it was great! The garlic dip was perfect. The sides I choose were the veggies, rice and caesar salad. The veggies were decent, the rice was good and the caesar salad was total crap. The sauce was completely watery / wrong and if they can't get it close to where it needs to be... simply remove it from your menu! Yuck!!! All in all, good food at a reasonable price. Would enjoy Torino again.

Best garlic potatoes we've ever had. Refreshing to see so much flavour. It was the free sample…read morethat had us sold. As we walked by a young lady gave us two tooth picks with chicken on then and we were sold. We got in line and ordered the chicken and beef with veggies, potatoes and rice. The veggies were cooked just perfectly, the potatoes were amazing and the meat was cooked to perfection in this small little girl they had. The meat was full of flavour, moist, and fresh off the grill. Lebanese style, middle eastern fare with garlic sauce that could rival any high end shawarma joint. The staff spoke French, English and Arabic. For how quickly they put the food out the quality was amazingly high and I don't use that term lightly. They had our order completed quickly without errors. Cost, expect to spend $30 on lunch for two people if you also add a bottle of iced tea or something to your order. Seems high but your going to be full and you are going to tell all your friends about it so dive in and do it. The staff were awesome and had no issues helping us through or first time there, switched to English right quick and back to French to serve the next patron. We will be going back for sure.

Small spot with big taste!…read more We came on a Sun for lunch and they have a few seats to dine in with numerous people getting orders to go. My bride ordered the Shawarma Pita and I went with the Kabob Pita with a side of hummus. It was all outstanding! The taste, the presentation, the flavors, the serving....so darn good!

We didn't have a reservation but the sweet man who greeted us found us a table very fast. This is a family owned business and you can tell how much pride and love they put into it. Both of the owners explained all the dishes to us and were so helpful in making our decisions. We started with the lemonade which is house made by their own mother every day. It had a different type of sweetness to it, almost like it was made with honey instead of sugar but I really enjoyed it. We also got the Trio of Salads which were so good! A few of them were a bit spicy but nothing we couldn't handle. They also kept the bread coming which I never hate! We also split the Tuna Brik and it was amazing! For our mains we had the Honey Lamb which was covered in pistachios. The lamb fell right of the bone and was so tender. We also tried the Ojja which is more of an elevated Shakshuka - dipping the bread in the sauce was a highlight at the end. Overall, this was such a unique meal with wonderful flavors. The owners service was the true stand out of this meal. They really do provide a wonderful experience for all of their guests.

This might be some of the best restaurant eats I've had in a long time. The lamb was just falling off the shank. The bread was warm and sopped up all the delicious juices.
