The restaurant wasn't busy, so it's hard to understand why such a simple order took so long. The bigger disappointment came when we finally saw the "sandwich." What arrived was more like a Middle Eastern-style pizza than anything resembling a traditional shawarma sandwich. It was nothing like the server had described when we specifically explained that we needed something easy to take on a plane. Between the long wait and the misleading description of the menu item, the experience was frustrating from start to finish. With so many great dining options in the area, it's hard to see why I'd choose to come back. BB

Long story short: I came here on Monday around 10am and didn't receive the best customer service and the food I ordered was not the best quality for the expensive price tag. I'll probably never return here in the future. Their menu changed since the last time I came in (which was probably months ago). So I asked about the Turkish bagel with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and bacon. The lady at the cash suggested an item which was similar but it also comes with egg. I went with her suggestion and told her to also add bacon to my order. I even confirmed that I was okay with the egg that comes with it. My total came to almost $6 ($5.95?) so I thought, ok paying $6 for a breakfast style bagel, it should be good. But it wasn't at all. It was soggy even though the bagel itself was toasted and the bacon was over cooked and hard. *Keep in mind, this bagel at full price is actually $8.99+ tax (see below in my next paragraph for details why).* So for $10.16 after tax, I had expected a much better quality. I could've had a better breakfast bagel at McDonald's or Tim Hortons for half or even 1/3 the price. On another note, the horrible customer service I received was from the lady who served me at cash. After a gentleman made my order, I told him that it should have came with cheese and egg which he missed adding it in. The lady jumped in and said that I didn't order that even though I confirmed my order with her when paying. Then she insisted that I pay an extra $3+ tax for the egg since apparently what I wanted is actually $8.99+ tax. I told her exactly what I wanted in the beginning and even confirmed with her a second time when paying. She was also the one who made the suggestion... so I don't understand how she kept fighting that I needed to pay $3+ tax extra and how she kept saying that I was in the wrong. If you're working in a customer service environment, making them feel like they're in the wrong even though they weren't, isn't professional at all and will lose customers like me.

Last week I was just BLOWN away by the customer service at Bread & Bowl…read more I went in there, with the goal to buy a soup to add to my rice which I brought from home. Unfortunately, their blackboard only featured one soup on it - a tomato soup, which I'm not a fan of tomato-based soups... the server then says, "Wait, let me check if we're completely out of our other soup." And she goes immediately behind the counter to check. But alas, she comes back and says, "It's not enough to fill a cup for you - sorry!" I smile, thanked her for checking, and started heading out the door. But the manager (and likely, owner?) who had been close by, turns to me and says, "Wait! You can have it. We'll give it to you for free." This kindly, older gentleman starts heading back to the counter, before I could respond. Caught off guard, I asked, "Are you sure?" "Yes, just wait." He personally scoops up all possible remnants of the sold-out soup. And comes around the counter, and hands me the take-out cup, with crackers and spoon. He smiled at me and said - with complete genuine care, "You deserve it." I so was surprised, and touched by the gesture. I just kept saying thank you as I walked out the door. If you're in the area, check out this place - for good food, and even BETTER customer service. PS. I never even thought of asking what flavour their other soup was! When I got back to the office, I opened the lid to find my favourite soup: squash. PPS. The cup of soup was nearly full to the brim! PPPS. I know this is different from my usual reviews - but this experience warmed my heart so much - I just had to share! All their food I've had there is very good, including soup, sandwiches, pizza and salad. Costs are average, but portions are large and quality well worth it.

I had flagged this eatery for a while. It was nice to drop by at long last and do a return visit, too. Mamajoun is roughly one block west of Warden Avenue, on the south side of Ellesmere Road. I had no problem finding a parking spot in the plaza. I backed into a spot practically in front of the main entrance and walked in. I was warmly greeted by Mihran, who owns the eatery with his wife. He was so welcoming and took the time to chat with me. I have had a papajoun wrap in the past, which is a flatbread with ground beef, onions, garlic, and red pepper paste. He let me know that his dough recipe came from his grandfather, which makes the dough so light and malleable. I had traditional Armenian toppings in my wrap, such as tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, and pickled turnips. If you are getting your wraps to go, he carefully packages them such that they still remain hot and toasty for thirty minutes. I ended up driving back to Markham and enjoying my wrap in downtown Markham. It was warm and yummy. When I first walked into the eatery, I was looking at bags of mante. I smelled the bag and it automatically made me hungry. He enjoys serving several beef mante in chicken broth, with tomato sauce and yogurt. He let me know that the chicken stock in bottles at the nearby Costco was what he used and they were of high quality. Good to know! I ended up getting some tomato dill soup from Farm Boy and put my mante in them. It was amazing! His instructions to bake them in the oven at 400°F for five to eight minutes and place them in soup is amazing. I asked if folks simply popped mante in their mouths like popcorn. He said that it was a perfectly acceptable way to enjoy them. The pack of zaatar that I picked up was excellent. Mihran said that I could freeze them. When I wanted one, just take one out of the freezer and let it thaw for fifteen minutes. Each zaatar tastes so fresh and yummy. I paid for my items both times with a credit card. This place does not accept American Express. I feel that most businesses don't these days. I thanked him for all his help and taking the time to speak with me. He said that the feeling was mutual, which was nice. Everything that I have eaten at this place has been flavourful and delicious. I'm a fan. Great food. Great owner. No complaints. (201)

Their pizza crust and tomato sauce are just exceptional and I knew I would be satisfied, and yes, I was very satisfied this time again!!!! We had (take out) #Pizza Margharita I appoint this as the best Margharita in Durham region. No complain. The crust, tomato sauce, cheese and big generous aromatic basil leaves - simple beauty. #Pearfect Bite This is added to another favorite of mine at 468F Wood Fired Pizza! Sweet and savory combination - Sweet pear slices meet saltiness from pancetta and 2 cheese Fior di latte, flurry ricotta. Walnut pieces added extra texture, and acidity & sweetness from glazed balsamic completes the taste of the whole. Highly recommended! #Di Parma This is good, tad salty side, but I appreciated the bitterness of arugula, nuttiness from parmigiano, and again the reduced glazed balsamic' rounding up of the whole flavors. I cannot wait coming back here again to try new pizza items (but I cannot miss Margharita - that is my must item)!

Really good vegan spot, would reccomend. Scrumptious Rice Cake: A great start! The rice cake had a unique texture. Almost custard-like, but with a more solid structure. The radish had a great bite, but was a bit over-marinated in soy sauce. Cucur Sayur: Light and crisp fried bites. The red pepper sauce brightened up the fritters by adding a hint of sweetness. Char Siu Bao: A well-excuted vegan dish. The seitan is really meaty, albeit lacking some of the chew of pork. Wouldve enjoyed it more if they went a bit lighter on the scallion mayo. Acar Kale Salad: A refreshing, acidic, and slightly sweet salad. Really enjoyed this one. Shroom Braise: A dish that should be delicious in theory, but falters in execution. The plating is a bit too small, the sauce a tad too salty, the mushrooms a bit rubbery. The dish also needed something to break up the strong umami present in each bite.

They even started offering a six-course tasting menu ($55 per person) allowing the table to sample…read more60% of their offerings. It started with some scrumptious cakes ($14; normally 4 to an order), a soft steamed rice cake topped with finely chopped preserved radish. Much silkier than radish cake, it's a cross between that and silken tofu. And while the sweet and salty radish relish was a good start, the dish needed something else (maybe scallions or fried shallots) and more of their famous sambal as I couldn't taste a lick of heat. One dish that stood the test of time is the dhal and roti ($14), a deeply flavoured yellow lentil curry topped with onion chili oil. Yet, it's the flaky Malay roti that really makes the dish - piping hot and well toasted with crispy edges. I could eat this with a dip, as a wrap, or stuffed. If dining a la carte, it may be wise to order some of the roti with the satay veg ($19), to dip into the thick savoury peanut sauce but also to counteract the saltiness of the dish. Served without a side, the vegetables didn't need so much seasoning, especially the rapini which almost seemed like it was marinated in salt water. It'd be wise for Fat Choi to serve this with rice. Plenty of slices of "barbeque pork" seitan are tucked into a fluffy steamed bun to create the char siu bao ($19). It's tasty, sandwiched with a large slice of pickled daikon, leaf lettuce, and scallion mayo. We all agreed something has changed with the prosperity tossed slaw ($24). It's still made with twenty ingredients that create a cacophony of textures, but the ratio of the ingredients has changed - more cabbage and radish and less herbs? Perhaps it just wasn't dressed with enough of the yuzu plum dressing and way too many peanuts, but the salad just didn't pack that punch of flavour of the past. The same can't be said about the cumin noods ($26). If you're a fan of Northern Chinese dishes like dan dan noodles, grilled lamb skewers and hand-pulled noodles, the dish is the baby born from the trio. But you must like cumin as there's tons of it! Crumbled tofu was flavoured with the spice, a light helping of numbing Szechuan pepper (thank you!), chili oil, and Chinese vinegar to create a spicy and savoury concoction. The flat ribbons of noodles had a lovely springy texture and could hold up against the sauce. Make sure to get a bite with the crunchy celery, scallions, and micro greens as they help balance out the cumin.
