The service is always very warm and the interior is quite pretty for a small restaurant. Their prices are also reasonable - they have a pasta with steak option for only $23.99, isn't that a steal?! I also LOVE their fettucine alfredo - it's delicious! But what I keep going for is their incredibly creamy saffron sauce pasta! This is their classic saffron sauce penne pasta with chicken, mushroom and bell pepper and it's one of the creamiest pastas in town. You'll love this if you love a good creamy pasta.

The staff were friendly, and greeted me with a smile. I could tell they took pride in their food. They recommended the chili chicken as well as the fried noodles. If you like spicy food, this place may be for you! Half of the menu is highlighted in red, indicating items that are hot and spicy. They make their own chili oil and green chili sauce in house. I look forward to returning to try their lunch specials available from 11am-3pm, which come with free pop or soup. Closed Tuesdays.

It's all in the sauce! I liked the logo of this place and thought oh I'm gonna try that. The girls at the front who took my order explained all the menu items and I decided on the rice and quarter chicken mild sauce. And the coleslaw. Slaw came out, really nice and crisp and creamy and obviously freshly chopped. Then nice water glasses almost like a sit down restaurant! A huge plate of rice came out with freshly grilled chicken. It was so tasty and perfectly seasoned. I really enjoyed it. Now to be honest, it's no Churrasco Villa cooked over a wood fire, but I would for sure make the effort to come to this place again. I actually like it better than Nandos. I don't know if it's a new franchise or what but it's really nice. They have some kind of unusual chai beverage machine I wonder what the stuff taste like. ‍I'll try it next time! I

As soon as I was ready to order, I was pleasantly greeted by Mohammed who showed a high degree of professionalism & was so well spoken. I ordered the 4 piece chicken dinner which comes with one side & a biscuit. I asked him on a side recommendation & he recommended Cajun fries, onion rings or coleslaw. I really like that I could pick any side & there was no up charge for certain ones. I chose the coleslaw & added a order of the fries. I was told that it would take 15 minutes & as I waited, I watched him work like a pro. He would ask the kitchen how much longer for certain food/orders then would update the individual. My order was ready around the time he said it would be. When I got home, I was pleasantly surprised at the size of each thigh & drumstick (they only serve dark meat). The coleslaw is larger than a typical side at other fried chicken places & there is a good amount of fries. The chicken was tasty! Skin was crunchy and the meat juicy. I did get it spicy but it's still on the mild side for me. The fries was cooked to perfection... crispy and full of Cajun flavor. I really liked the biscuit too. Coleslaw was good but top sweet for my liking. This place has easily hit my list of top fried chicken places!!! Highly recommend.

Fantastic bbq. Best in the city!…read more Wife surprised me with this for my pre-birthday. Didn't know it was Michelin recommended and I understand why. This place tastes amazing. Angus beef brisket was perfect Texas bbq. Juicy, great flavour, perfect flop Short rib is the best beef rib in the city. Juicy, unctuous, meaty. Amazing. Honey garlic wings had excellent smoke. Fantastic. Mac and cheese was delicious and cheesy. Best I've had in toronto. Maple smoked beans were ok. I wouldn't order again though. Poutine has a great gravy that had a nice depth of flavour. One of my favourite poutines. Tri tip had chimichurri on it which was a nice touch. Tougher of meat is not my preference but still had great flavour and smoke. Beef ribs were decent. But short rib better. Of note is that all the beef items are seasoned differently so you can order it all and have different flavours. One thing to know is the place is a bit of a dive. It's not pretty, but boy is it delicious. It does come off a little less clean than it could be. Cashier guy was friendly, but a bit slow. Not a big deal though.

We had their Family Platter 1, which includes 2lb Brisket, 2 1/2lb Korean Short Ribs, 1 1/2lb Chicken Legs, 1lb Wings, bread and a small house BBQ sauce, plus Jalapeno Corn and Smoked Maple Beans. My cousin made her famous Mac 'n' Cheese, and we also had homemade cornbread, dinner rolls, and Potato Salad from Costco. All the meats were very tender and delicious, with a nice smoky flavour that was just right. The brisket was outstanding - so tender. The short ribs were perfectly cooked and the chicken was very flavourful. The corn and beans held up their end - the perfect side dishes. Not to be outdone, my cousin made her famous mac 'n' cheese, and some cornbread. Potato salad and dinner rolls completed the main portion of our meal.

Zaitoun has the best poutine in Canada…read more For that matter, it's probably the best casse-croûte-style shop I've seen outside of Québec. Let's break this down. Poutine fries must be crisp right-angles with tips that remind you that they were once potatoes, fluffy, pillowy interiors shielded from the besieging sauce-brun. The sauce should be profound umami and just viscous enough to adhere to a fry trawled along the plate. The cheese should gift salt and squeak. This indulgent mess inherently seems to shrug off adjectives like exquisite, precise, conscientious, but the poutine at Zaitoun is all of this. Now, if you're like me, you might get half-way to the poutine counter and think something to the effect of, "poutine is great, but I wish that this place had a good kebab, beef kofti perhaps. Maybe -- oh, but this would never happen! -- maybe, just, a skewer of tangy, smoky tandoori chicken." Zaitoun has such people, people like me, covered, scarlet tenders cushioned by scented, sumac-sprinkled basmati rice, garlicky salad slicing the rich flavours. Go with friends. Order the menu. Share it. I have not mentioned yet that this restaurant is 100% Halal. I am not of a belief system that requires my food to be Halal, but I like to know that deliberate actions respecting animal welfare, food safety, and intentionality have permeated the supply chain, and the feeling of knowing that isn't a feeling you often get when you're eating at a poutinerie. At Zaitoun, however, when you order the loaded chicken poutine, you know something about that chicken, that you are the final step of an elevated human experience. This is no ordinary casse-croûte. It should be. It exists in a mediocre grey part of Scarborough, on the far side of an arachnoid parking lot that features a McDonald's and a Tim Hortons, a handful of other unassuming restaurants, and a half-derelict concrete edifice that makes you feel like you might have come to the wrong place. You might have come for the "Loaded Poutine" that appears as a place in Safari maps but not in real life. It is unimpressive even as you approach. It could be an unbranded Mary Brown's, until you see the menu. And then you see the counter-top marquee that could be selling you a special, whose letters spell out Free Palestine. And you see the tip jar whose proceeds support the local mosque. And you notice that every soft drink is sourced from a small producer; and the cola, for example, tells you right on the can that 10% of the proceeds from the sale of that can are destined for charitable work. And then you look closely at the geometric patterns on the wall and on the stainless steel fume hood, and you see how thoroughly the owners have transfigured this unassuming snack shop into a sacred space. And you clear your cross-hatched plastic tray to the bussing station and step back into the diesel-infused asphalt and concrete having indulged in a decadent harmony and, incongruently, feeling as though you just participated in something profound and deeply human. Zaitoun. You should go there.
