    The #1
    Dustin H.

    We've heard about DHC for years, and it's great to finally enjoy it in Toledo. With wonderfully trippy graffiti on the walls, an open seating area, and surprisingly friendly and happy staff, the vibes are legit - as is the food! We'll try mild next time, because everything above, while delicious, is too hot to enjoy more than a few bites. And if you're not familiar, this type of chicken's heat is cumulative. You think you're fine a few bites in, and then some point, you start to fear for your life. My only complaint is around the chaos of the ordering area. Food comes out inconsistently slow, seems to prioritize to-go over in-house, and with incredibly spicy food, the serve-yourself drink station is super busy. Because it's right in the mix of everyone waiting for their food, it's a little chaotic, and makes it hard to hear order numbers. Overall, a great experience, and totally recommend if you're an animal eater, looking for a spicy change to your typical fast casual.

    It was big news when I saw on Instagram that Dave's hot chicken opens their new location in Toledo. DHC is definitely my favorite chicken spot in LA. However this location wait time was much longer. I understand that it just opened so they are trying to settle in. I really that they are able to keep up with that quality to the ones on CA. I would prefer DHC over any other chicken place any day. The only point I want them to work on is their wait time because we waited over 30 mins outside til we got to order.

    Very good hot chicken sliders and tender and chicken bites. I ordered one in medium, another in hot and chicken bites in extra hot spiced levels. Delicious, tender juicy chicken with appropriate seasoning. Kale slaw was a great addition to the chicken slider. The restaurant is very clean. Service was prompt and friendly. Highly recommended when hot chicken sandwich is what you are looking for.

    Staff was friendly. My first time here and I tried the 10 piece hot with Mac and cheese. Heat was there but I'll go with the mild next time for some flavor. Bites are better with honey which was a great suggestion from the staff. Dave's sauce is good. Pickles are good.

    So good! Wanted to try something new, their chicken is unique and delicious . The Cole slaw is also absolutely bomb, one of a kind. Fries are delicious. Mac n cheese reminds me of KFC- not bad, not great. Zero complaints here!

    Dave's Hot Chicken #3 Medium Spice. Contains a slider, tender, sliced bread, pickles, and Dave's sauce.

    My first review in a while so yalla. When I first heard that Dave's Hot Chicken was opening a location in Toledo I was ecstatic. My family and I normally go to the location in Dearborn Heights, so the convenience of a Toledo location makes the experience of going to Dave's a whole lot easier. I ordered a #3--A slider and a tender, served with sliced bread, pickles, fries, and Dave's glorious and delicious sauce. The sauce is on point. The chicken is well seasoned and very crispy. The fries were well seasoned, and the pickles were a nice crunch to my already crunchy chicken. The decor is that of any standards Dave's location, which is appreciated. The service was good-- fast and friendly. Good to know that Dave's Hot Chicken is hiring good people to serve their customers. Overall, I give Dave's Hot Chicken five stars and will be returning soon.

    Really cute place. Reeper needs a signature for reason! It's that hot! I think their food is full of flavor and worth the trip. Staff is super friendly as well... I do recommend!

    The food was good. The customer service was excellent. The ambiance was amazing. The staff was very friendly. A very nice greeter would go around and make sure everything was going well during my experience.

Bombay is owned by the sweetest family - Rita is passionate and cares about her guests and has truly made something magical with the menu.

Have you heard of Indian beer? Wine? I hadn't either, but it's a delight. That Rupee Gold is a delicious option. You can dine in and watch Bollywood on the screen or just enjoy all of the dishes.

We chose a chicken tikka missala and lamb curry with garlic butter naan. Both dishes were very tasty to say the least. The interior is tastefully decorated and is quite welcoming. Thanks to our Foodie Card we received $10 off an order of $30. We will be back!

    This has become my favorite middle eastern deli/store in Toledo. The menu goes beyond the basic…read moreshawarma/hummus/falafel things to include offerings like braised lamb shanks, yogurt kibbe, a huge selection of meat and cheese pies, besides a number of "Americanized" choices. The chicken shawarma is excellent, nicely seared but still juicy. Salads have been very good, with strongly (but not too strongly) lemony dressings, Falafels are crisp on the outside, a little soggier than I'd like on the inside--not that that stopped me from scarfing them down! Hummus is about as good as you'll find. Good as the food is, the service can be a bit slow. The market side is small, doesn't have a huge selection, but still a solid representation of mediterranean cooking basics (and seriously...just how many brands of tahini do you need???). And it's clean! A very economical olive bar and well-stocked meat case are musts for a visit here. In the latter, you'll find a little bit of beef, a little bit of chicken, a little bit of goat, but a whole lotta lamb, everything from tongues to trotters, at far below supermarket prices. While I like to sample a variety of places, Muna is taking away my incentive to explore other middle eastern restaurants in Toledo. It's a pleasant rut to be stuck in.

I had seafood Cioppino and my friend ordered Wild Boar Bolognese. We also shared Classic Hummust o share as appetizer. WOW, everything tasted great and delicious. I passed by the kitchen to go use the restroom and had to stop to enjoy all the dishes that were prepared and ready to serve. Even a simple Romaine Wedge looked so good with halal beef bacon sprinkled on it. Could not order any dessert since we both were full. A wonderful dining experience and deducting back for more if I am in the area in the future.

    Went back to Souk last Saturday with 3 other dining partners and really had a great experience…read more We had a reservation and unfortunately, they seated us in the front room. It's nice in there, but it was just too loud for us. We asked our waitress if we could move to the back room. she checked with the hostess, and it was no problem. She graciously helped us move, thanked us and handed us off to our new waitress. She was really nice about everything. Our new waitress took our drink orders, and I decided to have a Manhattan. It was just the well whiskey (I'm guessing they used domestic whiskey, so the "e" needs to be there!) and it was really well made. They even used a giant ice cube that kept the drink well chilled without the dilution issues typical ice can bring. On to appetizers... We had the calamari and an order of hummus with onions and browned butter. The calamari was really nice, but kind of stingy. It was very well cooked, nicely breaded, etc. My one quibble is there just wasn't enough, especially for the price. The hummus... So, the hummus was a rather generous portion that was out of this world delicious. It was served in a large bowl with browned onions, brown butter, paprika and fried or baked chickpeas. The hummus reminded me of Middle East Market. Smooth, creamy, garlicky, well-seasoned. If you go to Souk and don't get this, you're making a huge mistake. After the apps, we moved on to our entrees... I had the crab cakes. They were really enjoyable, served with some nicely dressed, mixed salad greens. they were full of crab meat (but unfortunately not lump crab). The outside was crispy and the inside was very nicely cooked. Great flavor. One of the folks at the table had the butternut squash ravioli. It was probably my favorite dish of all that night. Amazing flavor and perfect texture. the thing that makes their ravioli the "leader of the ravioli wars" is they served them with a sherry, cream sauce that was just amazing. Kind of a sweet and savory, salty thing. Delicious. Our other guest had the Kafta Ravioli and said it was really good. I didn't try it, so I really can't comment, but it did look pretty great. After our entrees, we moved on to coffee and split a desert. Souk's Turkish coffee was great. It's been years since I've had Turkish coffee, but it was really strong and piping hot. Just perfect. We also split an order of their bread pudding. WOW! I've not had bread pudding that good since I was in New Orleans. So, my first trip to Souk really sucked (see my review). My guess is they were having a bad night, and we got stuck with a really sh*tty waiter. The place is expensive, but the food and drink substantiate the prices. Our waitress was very professional, she knew the menu and offered informed suggestions when asked. She seemed to know when we needed her. We were not rushed and really felt like they appreciated out business. Can't wait to go back.
