Pictures of Greece adorn the walls, typical of these smaller places, nothing too exotic but a comfortable feel. Unlike many small venues, everything here is spotless and the limited number of tables are well spaced. Service is very friendly. Not as punctual as a chain might offer, but it's easy to forget that when your meal is delivered with such joy. The food is excellent, large portions at reasonable prices. We shared the Ribs and Saganaki appetizers, both excellent. My Mixed Grill Soulvaki was delicious. At first glance I didn't think I could eat it all but it was so good that I powered through. Definitely an alternative to more upscale Greek options, might be our go-to from now on.

We saw they were going to open at 11am, and decided to try our luck by getting there right at opening since we didn't have a reservation. We got lucky and got seated right away! - PARKING - Street parking, make sure you take note of how long you paid for! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The ambiance inside is so nice and airy, with greenery and natural light shining through. There's also a super cute swing area next to the bar area that you can sit. I really liked the overall interior design! The staff was very attentive for our large party throughout our meal. There are bathrooms downstairs as well. - FOOD - Bacon Jam Benedict ($20.00): Loved the flavor combination in this! The sweet savory maple bacon jam worked so well! We upgraded to the fried potatoes ($4.00) and they were pretty tasty. Carrot Cake French Toast ($24.00): We got one to share with the table, and I'm glad we didn't commit because it was just OK to me. I wish there was more mascarpone filling, and also a different sauce than chocolate because it didn't pair well for me. Winter Nights ($19.00): We wanted to get some greens in and chose this salad. I enjoyed the mix of greens and also the fennel salami which gave a salty bite! Truffle Parm Fries ($13.00): We also got this to share with the table and you can't go wrong with these! - OVERALL - Great brunch option if you have a small or large group! Really nice airy ambiance for a nice start to your day.

This dish is the love of my life!…read more I've lost count of how many times I've been to Aida's, but always order the same thing. It's so predictably great. Aida's is a Lebanese inspired restaurant located on 4th St SW and has been a frequent spot for me and the fam for years. Last week my sis and I had a hankering for our usual--their Veggie Share Plate (pictured above). Of course this time around we had to take away, but the result was the same--so DAMN GOOD. RATING: 9/10 - Veggie Share Plate This thing is very generous in portion size. Sista and I ordered one between the two of us and we had enough for dinner and to snack on the next day. It includes Hummus, Baba Ghannouj and Mouhammara-- these smooth dips are perfect for dunking your pita. Also an assortment of satisfying finger foods such as: Spinach Fatayer, Grape Leaves (sourly satisfying), Falafel and Rookak. The Rookak is both our favourite! Imagine cheesy goodness wrapped in a flakey pastry. It is the bomb! To wrap it all up we had the Tabbouli Salad which is super fresh and citrusy. Everything travelled so well! You wouldn't even know you were eating take away, except you know, the styrofoam containers. Aida's never disappoints, especially when it comes to their Veggie Platter.

Disclaimer- we ordered Aida's for delivery because of travel fatigue, so I cannot comment on the…read moreservice or ambiance of the restaurant. However, the food was 5 stars! We got hummus topped with shawarma, a babaghanouj, a hummus, garlic paste, Shish tawook plate, and veggies for dipping. Everything was very fresh and delicious. The portions were also hearty. They packed everything nicely as well. The standouts for me were the babaghanouj and garlic paste. The hummus with shawarma was excellent also, especially since it had a generous amount of meat on top. The Greek salad that came with the kabob was also very good. This was our favorite meal during our trip to Canada, despite being a delivery. Definitely check it out if you are seeking great Lebanese cuisine.

That works just fine for me, I'm not sure I could've had much more than a puff or two of it otherwise. It was my first sheesha experience. I was also the first one there. Cafe Med was busy and I was too afraid to go in by myself. Thank the good Yelp gods for Sarah Louise! She saved me from looking like a creep peeking in the windows for too long. The folks at Cafe Med are friendly people. Our server talked us into some Moroccan Madness (tea) while we waited for the rest of our peeps to arrive. We also snacked on some red pepper hummus and rolled up grape vine leaves (if you've never had them, they're comparable to cabbage rolls in concept... just a different flavour to them). You might also want to try the garlic pizza. As far as sheesha bars go, I have nothing else to compare this one to! So it's got three stars in my books. Mostly because the guy serving our table offered to fill our tea pots up with more hot water, took the pots away and didn't return with them until we inquired about them again. And also because, even though it's a spot to come smoke things, there were times the haze built up enough to burn my eyes for a moment or two. At any rate, the food was pretty cheap, the pipes were just over $10 each and they kept bringing new coals around. From what I gathered, not dropping ashes into the pipe is a bit of an art that Cafe Med has mastered. Overall, a positive experience!

I've never really been a fan of shisha, but when my friends want to go this is the place to go…read more It's always a good time no matter who you're with or when you go. They have so many different flavours of shisha to choose from and each is delicious in their own way. I prefer the fruity flavours to the chocolate or coffee ones though... I find them a little more refreshing. Not only do they have great, friendly service, but they even offer a crash course for all the beginners that go there. It's not like it's hard though. You light the charcoal, and suck on the hose... pretty self-explanatory. Don't worry all you first-timers, everything that goes on inside this place is completely legal. They also have a wide selection of meals and appetizers to choose from, but I don't usually go for it. Like I said, I don't really care for the shisha so I don't feel the need to buy the food in the joint. My philosophy on shisha is, it's not giving me my nicotine fix so what's the point? I definitely understand why other people like to chill in this place though. That's exactly what you do... chill. It's a nice atmosphere with cool people.
