My family and I went to Anasa for a special Celebration Dinner…read more It was wonderful!! Stevia/owner was very attentive and engaging. We split several appetizers and one was better than the other. For dinner, I had the whole fish which was delicious! The others had various specials. The Filet Mignon was beautifully presented and was tender and perfectly cooked as were the Lamb Chops. The Pastitsio and Moussaka were also excellent! We split a few of the different desserts and they were all scrumptious and quite decadent . (Unfortunately, there were no leftovers for doggie bags)! All of the food portions were plentiful and everything was amazing. The food was absolutely superb! Anasa is the perfect choice for a celebration, family get together or even for a quiet romantic dinner. It does not disappoint!!

I hadn't had mediterranean in a while and I'm not head over heels for the place near me so I wanted to try something new. This place seemed decent enough. I ordered a greek salad and hummus with pita. There were varying gyros, another greek salad with chicken, some platters including the falafel platter that GF orderd. My salad was wonderful. The ingredients were fresh and that dressing was lovely. It was a salad I actually enjoyed instead of regretting the entire time I glared at my coworkers who ordered real shit with envy. The hummus was also very creamy, authentic hummus with a slightly different taste than I am used to but head and shoulders above any store bought bullshit. Everyone else said good shit about their food. I tried one of GF's falafel from her platter and it was really good. My only complaint is for $24 or whatever it is, i would expect more than a few falafel balls and one side. Kinda a rip off. But everything tasted really, really good.

The beef and pork skewer kabobs were tender and juicy, especially topped with tzatziki sauce. The fried calamari wasn't overpowered by flour, which I appreciated. The broiled salmon was cooked to perfection and paired nicely with sauteed broccoli though they could've added a bit more garlic. As expected, this place did not disappoint.

At Lefteris Taverna, the parking lot is big and easy and free, and the service is friendly and great, but the food isn't quite as good as it is at the Tarrytown location. If it were, I would be more excited to go here. However, although food isn't quite as good here as it is in Tarrytown, it's still better than the food at most places. It tastes fresh and healthy.

A note to my neighbors who have written negative reviews about this new restaurant in Riverdale: I…read moreencourage you to give this place -- and every place in the neighborhood a second try before announcing publicly that you will never eat there again. An attitude like that is why it is so challenging for a restaurant to succeed in our neighborhood. This is a beautiful restaurant. My friends and I had a delicious meal there (which I reviewed earlier). The prices are comparable to other decent restaurants I've eaten at recently.

Sad to say, after being loyal customers, this place turned us off tonight permanently. I placed a large anniversary dinner order by phone, including tahdig ($12). During the call, I specifically asked if the rice came with tomato and onion and was told no it comes with the tahdig that I ordered. So yes it comes with the order. I was also asked whether I wanted the gheymeh on top or on the side of the tahdig. I chose on the side. When I got home, the order didn't match what was discussed: The tahdig wasn't traditional rice tahdig like me or my wife have had countless times. It was more like this brownish, sheet-like, crumble with a few flecks of rice on the crumble, but not crispy. Not Persian tahdig. The gheymeh was missing entirely, despite being discussed on the call. The tomato and onion that I was told were included were not there. The fesenjan had only a few pieces of chicken. The ghormeh sabzi was okay, but pretty underwhelming in flavor. I called politely to clarify about the missing tahdig (for next time) and was told someone would call me back. No one did. When I called again an hour later, the same person who took my original order responded in a dismissive and accusatory tone, unilaterally escalating her tone and voice immediately, almost angrily accusing me of daring to call, and told me that the tahdig does not come with gheymeh, and tomato and onion aren't included either. (This is the opposite of what I was told when ordering). She repeatedly interrupted me, talking over me, instead of listening or trying to resolve the issue. We've been coming here since moving from Southern California a few years ago, whenever we felt homesick and wanted some Persian food. The food has always been....OK....nothing like Persian restaurants in Toronto or Southern California, but we continued ordering out of nostalgia and lack of other options. However, this experience today, incorrect information, missing items, no follow-up, and then, the way the situation was handled was our final turn off. Disappointing, especially for what was meant to be a special occasion. We won't be returning, nor will our visiting Persian family or friends.

Everything I tried was delicious and very fresh.

The portion is enormous, too! While I was there, I learned that the Cozy Cottage location we all know and love on Conner Street is no longer open. Instead, they are now operating out of the Sangria Cafe location. Yesterday was their first day of service in the new space, with breakfast and lunch starting at 6:00 a.m. I snapped a photo of the menu and wanted to share it with everyone. I'm sure the industrial area around the old Conner Street location will miss having Cozy Cottage so close by, but this move should make things much more convenient when it comes to parking and accessibility. Wishing them lots of success in their new home!

Then choose some veggies like lettuce, onion, cucumber, tomato's. Sometimes, the lettuce looks a little old so be mindful of that along with the other vegetables. Then is a your choice of meats. I would recommend chicken over their new 'jerk chicken' personally. Lamb is good. You can mix and match half-half. As a condiment connoisseur, I recommend the white and green sauce. I'm not entirely sure what they are, but they're definitely a crowd favorite as other customers expressed their shared opinion with me. Orange and red sauces are spicy as you can imagine. Orange sauce is spicy enough for me, and this is coming from an Asian person that usually loves spice. Red may get you looking for some water. After coming here many times, I admit that it can feel a little odd when you pay because some serves will try to peak to see if you tip. This restaurant earns a 4 star from me because of its great taste, halal friendly, and open late nights (I believe up until midnight - don't quote me)
