    Went to Narenj after getting recommended to come here for pastries. The restaurant has such a chill vibe to it We ended up with the pistachio mouse, zaatar croissant and the halloom croissant as well. $25 total The prices are a little steep however it's so delicious and flavourful that coming here is a treat yourself moment. It's a bit far from the downtown Toronto core but it's a cute spot if you wanna get out of town for a little treat.

    I came across this place on TikTok and it looked super cute and lowkey. I decided that on my birthday we could check this place out. They don't take reservation but better to get their early than later because this is a small spot it can fill up super quickly. We had to wait around 45 minutes to get a table for 3 people. We ordered the In-Laws which I don't know if it's on the menu anymore. Which was super delicious. Definitely such a flavourful brunch. We hadn't caught up in so long so we were definitely sitting there for quite some time. The owner was so sweet and let us sit through her High-Tea. Which is something I definitely would come back to. The desserts and pastries looked amazing. We did order a pastry for ourselves and they were definitely delicious. I would for sure come back to this place. :)

    Food: 4.5/5 very good pastries Environment: 4.5/5 classic and floral, nice decor Service: 4/5

    Phenomenal service! I can't say enough about how attentive all the servers, and managers were. I went with my very big family, and all the food came out super quickly. The servers constantly checked on us and provided excellent care. The food was deeeelicious! The iced latte was perfect. I had "the handy" with sour dough. The bread was tasty and crunchy. I enjoyed the greens with pickles. Very refreshing. Inside of the restaurant was cutely decorated! I loved the decorations. Very pleasant experience!

    Great Mediterranean restaurant that opened in February of 2021. Same owners as Maro's which is right next door. We enjoyed dining outdoors at the high top tables with benchseats on a beautiful Sunday with traditional music in the background. They've decorated with plants, a pergola and some lighting. Very warm and friendly vibe to the place. We ordered from the breakfast menu and had two iced lattes which were great and came with sugar syrup on the side so you could sweeten to taste. Today we tried: The In Law's Omelette which is three organic eggs scrambled with great seasoning and flavour. Some light refreshing Herbal Labneh paste with garlic and mint. A geen olive and seasonal herb salad was topped with a Lebanese baked potato that had just enough crisping on the outside. Delicious, great texture, and very fresh and tasty. Would definitely order again. We also tried the oriental shakshouka which comes hot in a little cast iron pan. Tomato based topped with organic fried eggs. Nice texture and flavour, tasty, and great to have with the bread they serve. Service was quick, prompt, and we met one of the owners she did a great job explaining the menu. All in all a great meal that we really enjoyed. A great addition to the Kerr and Lakeshore strip. Will be back for sure!

    One of the excellent and beautiful restaurant should you wish to eat In Oakville, Ontario Unique menu, excellent service and delicious food. I was visiting Oakville from and my daughter surprised me with Narenj ( Kerr Str). We ordered different dishes and they all tasted fresh, homemade, and yummy: halva and pistachio croissant, Narenj tea, Narenj tarte with meringue, Dulce de Lèche frappé, different baguette sandwiches, and not to forget the amazing shakshouka. Thank you Benson for the excellent management of the place, your kind hospitality and your smile. Thank you Nisa for your excellent service and good luck. If you come to Ontario, don't miss this place: Narenj

    Wonderful decor. Wonderful coffee. Wonderful salad. A great place to drink, eat and sketch! A jewel of a place in Oakville.

    Brisket Shakshouka & Home Sweet Home (came with walnuts, not pistachios)

    A colleague recommended this place to us since we would be in the area. From the outside it looks nice. Upon entering the server asked how many and just pointed her hand in a direction with 3 empty tables. Unsure where to sit, we chose one of the tables which smelled liked it was wiped down with a dirty rag (you know that smell.) A moment later water dripped on my head. I looked up to find a hanging plant directly above the table. The vibe is rustic, all the tables and chairs look thrifted with plants and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. I understand the aesthetic but to have plants hanging directly over tables/food is dangerous for food safety. The server came to take our order and wasn't very friendly, seemed in rush. We ordered 2 dishes and it took over 25 minutes to come out. Mind you, it was a weekday around 11am, not extremely busy. We ordered the Home Sweet Home - French toast made with croissants, topped with chopped pistachios, seasonal compote and fresh homemade cream. It came with walnuts instead of pistachios which was disappointing. It was ok but very sweet. We also ordered the Brisket Shakshouka - Skillet of tomatoes and tomato sauce with three poached organic eggs, topped with slices of fried halloumi, beef brisket, pickles, zaatar and pomegranate molasses. The brisket was not very tender and not like a traditional shakshouka with plenty of tomato sauce for dipping the bread. Way too many pickled onions on top. Also the washroom soap dispenser nozzle was broken and out of soap too, which is a health and safety violation. Overall the service, ambiance and food were subpar especially for the prices. Being in the food industry we would encourage warmer hospitality, more thought into decor placement, better food quality and far more attention to cleanliness.

    iced americano - sunday funday let's goooo!

    loved our brunch on sunday! gorgeous interior and located in oakville - this resto / cafe needs to be added to your list. i got a delicious scrambled egg dish that was full of diff flavours and portion size could definitely be shared. the iced americano was great too. i'd recco trying the delish looking pastries - sad i didn't this time but we'll be back! i think this place would be perfect for a week day work spot too. ps it's a little pricey but once in awhile a treat is great hehe

We got the Rayhoon trio sampler, Addas Palo, and lamb shank. The trio sampler was basically 3 different dippings and came with a basket of bread. The owner was very nice. While we were enjoying the food, he walked up and greeted. He explained how we could use the trio sampler to enjoy the entrees which really made it even better. Following the suggestion, I put a little bit of lamb sauce over the rice and put a little bit of yogurt sauce over a small piece of lamb, then ate them all in one spoon.... It was amazing!

I ordered "Bareh Kabab" with vegetables, "Vaziri Leg" with Persian Salad and Homemade chips with . The first thing you pay attention to when you open the package is the smell of the food and the quantity. Well, that was my first disappointment, because both Bareh and Koobideh didn't smell good at all. Also, Koobideh wasn't like any of the advertised pictures and it was only 6 pieces of meat in the package for Bareh Kebab. Vaziri leg tasted good and was cooked properly. But, my second disappointment was the taste of both kebabs that weren't good at all. And this comes from the person who has tried almost all the Persian restaurants in Toronto and you get higher quality and quantity with the same prices. I believe the ingredients used un the food weren't fresh at all and what I have understood from other Google reviews, the owner doesn't care at all. But I know for sure that I'd rather drive to Toronto whenever I'm craving Persian food to eat a good quality meal, rather than ordering from a restaurant close to my house that doesn't offer good quality food and doesn't care about their customer!

    BOTTOM LINE: With a few improvements, it could be pretty decent…read more This place was recommended by a friend, and I stopped by when I was in the 'hood; however, I thought it was just okay at best. FWIW, I'm reviewing this place as a total Persian cuisine n00b. First off, the portions were just okay, especially for the price, which I thought skewed a bit high. You'll probably be full though because they pack a lot of rice. They have various combos of wraps and platters. I ordered the Vaziri, which comes with the chicken and ground sirloin. I thought the meats were decently seasoned and not too dry. The rice, though, was probably the highlight with it's fluffiness and flavour. The accompanying grilled side veggies were a bit of a disappointment, especially the essentially raw onion quarters that came in mine. Finally, the hot sauce - I'm not sure if this is the standard - seemed to be a mix of tomato juice and Tabasco, and it just didn't do it for me. Finally, as others have mentioned, it's a bit dreary inside (yes, I realize it's fast food so my standards aren't gonna be high but even then...), and they only accept cash and debit, which can make payment a bit inconvenient.

    I read an article once, where the author would check the bathroom before ordering, because the…read morecleanliness of the bathroom reveals how clean the kitchen is. Needless to say, I should have checked the bathroom before ordering at this restaurant. The bathroom was dirty and there were stains on the wall. I did not feel comfortable.... Also, for the food, I ordered a combo that came with a drink and fries and added an extra shawarma on the side. The person on cash ringed in a two shawarma combo and charged the drink and fries separately. By doing this, I had to pay almost $2 extra for the food, which was NOT cool because this was not how I placed my order. I do not know if this was an intentional mistake for the person on cash to get more money, but I value honesty and I did not appreciate having to pay more. I understand that businesses are struggling with our economy, but I can't recommend anyone to go to a restaurant that is not honest. Regardless, the food was okay. I liked that the shawarma is very traditional, like how you would get it in the Middle East--meat, pickles, and lettuce. The fries were just typical fries, nothing special. Overall, with so many shawarma places around the GTA, I would skip out on this place.

They are just around the corner from our home so it makes it easy for us to grab and run. My kids love the chicken on the rocks. Their helpings are generous and their white and chilli sauces are great! Can't them without the sauces! Food is good, service is great and generous portions.
