I'm not sure how I stumbled across Lonzo's Kitchen. I have a feeling that it popped up on a social…read moremedia site. I simply remember a post that said that a new location was about to open in Scarborough. It serves Middle Eastern fare. My habit continues when it comes to looking at food apps to decide where I want to fetch takeout. I found Lonzo's Kitchen on Uber Eats and gave it a shot. There were a bunch of buy-one-get-another-free offers that I couldn't refuse. After having completed my grocery shopping in Whitchurch-Stouffville, I placed my order through the app, which consisted of these items: - Snack-sized wings in mild sauce (5) - BOGO - Snack-sized chicken plate with salad - BOGO It would take me 25 minutes to drive down to northern Scarborough. My food was ready in 20 minutes, so it all worked out. This eatery is on Nashdene Road. I have a vague recollection of hanging around this area when I was in my late teens until my undergraduate years. My mom worked in this area. When I had my dad's car, I'd pick her up from work and we'd run a bunch of errands, from getting tofu cubes packed in water, to fetching a ton of samosas, all within this area. Lonzo's sticks out like a sore thumb in an industrial-business area. Folks get hungry. Boom! There's Lonzo's. It's a smart move. I oddly did not have any problems finding the place. It faces Nashdene. I parked off to the side next to a fence and parallel-parked. You can also go around each unit and park there. I walked in. There were two male guys there. A chair propped the door open. Its position made me wonder whether I actually do enter or if I stand there. I did the former. I said my name. My order was in a paper bag on the counter. The men didn't seem all that friendly. The one man simply said, "It's here." I said thanks and took it. I also took photos. The other man just looked at me as if I were nuts. I didn't really care. I wished them both a nice day. I got nothing back. It wasn't the warmest interaction. I'm not sure if it was due to a language barrier or if that's who they are. Anyway, I happily put my dinner in my car and drove home. I then chowed down. I had the snack-sized chicken plate. I liked the size. It was perfect. The description on Uber Eats was a bit confusing. It said that this plate didn't include salad, but I was able to select salad as my base. The other base options were fries and rice. The chicken morsels looked good underneath the red and white sauces. I was excited to try this meal. It was delicious. The spicy red sauce wasn't excessively hot, but there was some heat. The white sauce tamed it. I just wish that the white sauce had garlic in it. The chicken was nicely seasoned and juicy. The salad has sliced cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. It was crisp and fresh. I would order this dish again. Luckily, I have another one that I plan to have for lunch on Thursday. I love wings. I could not pass up the BOGO wings deal. I got the wings in mild sauce. The wings tasted more like a marinara sauce. There was breading, but they weren't crispy. I did love the flavour. The chicken was tender and done nicely. I chose ranch sauce. This place was generous with the sauce. Other than the lack of warmth that I got from staff, I enjoyed my food. I'd come back and try more. There's falafel, beef, and sweet chili chicken that all intrigued me. (144)

Atmosphere: Nothing special about the atmosphere, your typical shawarma place vibes. Price: Very fairly priced, my rice and chicken and fries cost about $14.99 before tax. Food: This is the kicker, the food was so tasty and flavourful. I was so happy I decided to give this place a try, and I hope you do too!

It sounded the most interesting and I…read morewas expecting to be blown away or for it to look like some of the cheeseburger photos posted online. It looked nothing like the cheeseburger from Burger Factory that's posted online. The patty was not even thick at all! I received a thin patty which contained cheese but I had to get to the center of the burger to get a bit of cheese oozing out. The rest of the patty was essentially a Mc D caliber patty. If you look at the pic I posted, the meat to bun ratio was also totally off. The bun was bigger than the meat so I had bites where I was literally just eating thick bread and veggies. The cheeseburger photos show big chunky meat patties so I'm wondering if I got an employee who didn't really know what he was doing? I opted for a combo and got mac n' cheese bites as my side. These were exceptionally disappointing. I'm no mac expert but I'd be willing to bet a dollar that they use Kraft dinner in these mac n' cheese bites. Overly salty, overly processed. No dipping sauce, just came with two ketchup packets on the side. For a meal that hit me for over $20 I truly felt ripped off. This combo was NOT worth $20+. I had a double Shack burger from Shake Shack literally a week prior to eating here and that burger was MILES better and way more "gourmet" tasting than this one.

Asked the…read moreguy at the register what people usually get and they said a lot of people try the Juicy Lucy as it's very cheesy and melts in your mouth. Seemed a little too adventurous for me so I went with their promo at the time which was 2 cheeseburgers and fries for (i think $15). Burgers were 5oz each so you can imagine how full I was. Very nicely cooked, they use a really good quality sesame bun which I think makes a big difference when you bite into the burger. Good toppings and the fries were nice and lite. Not too oily and salty as other places are. A great deal that is probably not around anymore haha. Shoutout to Matthew there for hooking us up with some free ice cream too as they were just about to close.

This was my first time stepping into a Dave's Hot Chicken. I originally came in specifically to try…read moretheir viral cheese sticks, but unfortunately, they were out for the day. While I was super disappointed at first and almost walked out, I figured since I was already there, I'd finally give their chicken a shot. I ordered the #1 combo: two tenders, fries, sliced bread, Dave's sauce, pickles, and a drink. At roughly $25 to $27, the price felt pretty steep for a takeout tender combo. I know Drake is backed as an investor here, so maybe that plays into the pricing, but it definitely felt expensive. That said, the portions are solid. The tenders were large, super juicy, and well cooked. The Medium heat level was spot on for what I wanted and it gave a nice light kick without being overly spicy. Honestly, the fries were my absolute favorite part of the meal! They were crispy, super tasty, and perfectly seasoned. The Dave's sauce was good, though a pretty familiar flavor profile if you've had similar chicken joints. The pickles added a nice crunch. My only critique on the side is the bread... getting plain white bread slices feels like a missed opportunity. If they toasted it into Texas toast, it would take the meal to another level. The fountain drink size included in the combo felt surprisingly small, especially for a takeout order. The Leslieville location itself is fantastic. The exterior design really catches your eye from the street, and the inside is spacious with two levels. I especially loved the neighborhood-specific touches, like the custom "Leslieville" graffiti art on the wall... it gives the space a great local personality. Service was friendly. Is it a bit too pricey to become a regular spot? Yeah, probably. But the quality and juiciness of the chicken are definitely there. I'll be back down the road but only to finally get my hands on those cheese sticks (and maybe a milkshake next time!).

You are also given the option to choose from chicken breast or chicken thighs. I chose chicken breast and they were very juicy and not dry at all. You can also choose a variety of toppings and sauces with no limits to how many you want. There is seating at the restaurant although it's located upstairs. The seating is a bit cramped and there's only seating for around 10 people I would recommend getting takeout instead of eating here if possible.

The first time I went to this place, a good friend took me to a Yelp event here. The tacos were so…read moreamazing we had decided to come back here for lunch during a work day, where I got to try their Birria Quesadilla. I've tried tacos from other places and I can still say this is the best tacos I've had in Mississauga. Now I come here frequently with my boyfriend whenever we feel like having tacos. We usually get five tacos each whenever we come. Last week, we came to get our usual. I got a Bang bang shrimp, pescado, the chicken pastor, the birria, and the Thai sweet chili cauliflower. He got two chicken pastors, a Bang bang shrimp, a Carne asada, and a pescado. I tried to order an elote but it seems they were out. I've already tried it before and just wanted to relive the goodness, so it was no big deal. It was quite busy that Sunday afternoon (we usually go on Thursday afternoons which is far less busy) but we were able to grab a table. The tacos were amazing as usual. I like how they use different tortillas for each tacos which complement each the protein inside the taco. For example, they double wrap the chicken pastor, and the birria tacos use a tortilla that can handle the dip. I also love their choice of toppings. I think the hickory sticks with the Carne asada work so well together, and the chicken pastor with the pineapples are so delicious. When we got the chicken pastors that Saturday, they didn't put pineapples on ours, but I assume they ran out. I've actually tried all of their tacos, and my favourites are definitely the Bang bang shrimp and the Pescado. The flavours just hit! I was pleasantly surprised by the Thai sweet chili cauliflower one. My boyfriend was telling me deep fried cauliflower tastes way better than normal cauliflower, and this taco delivered. The Thai sweet chili flavour really works. If you are planning to order 4+ tacos at a time, note that they deliver the tacos generally at the same time. I would resist the urge to wait until all tacos are on your table before eating as the tacos will cool down. Some tacos can handle the wait (like the birria) while other tacos are best enjoyed right away (like the shrimp and pescado). Overall, an amazing place to get tacos. Make sure you also try their other dishes, as well as their drinks, as they are quite unique and delicious too!

Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and the sauce goes so well with the shrimp. I unfortunately underestimated the wait time for this place. I ordered via UberEats on a weekday evening, after finishing work in the area and was floored by the 40min estimated wait time, for 2 whole tacos. I really should have cut my losses and cancelled my order I was only about 10 minutes away but very far from home so I went ahead to double check if the wait time was accurate. They did take the full 40 mins. There were 2 staff on site, but only one person that seemed to do the cooking. Great tacos, but 40 mins is crazy. It's pretty pricey (like restaurant pricing equivalent) so combined with the long wait and slightly out of the way location, Im not exactly dying to come back. If you do decide to go, definitely order in advance. There's lots of parking there and lots of seating. What's odd is when I went, there were only 3-4 tables out of 10+ in use and it wasn't that busy inside the store, so who knows if it's a one off thing or they are always understaffed?

This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken, and I can see why there's so much hype…read more We came for a very late lunch, but the restaurant was still quite busy. We ordered Dave's #1 (2 tenders) and weren't sure how spicy to go, so we got one Medium and one Mild just to be safe. After trying them, I think we could definitely handle a hotter spice level next time. The chicken tenders were big and came served on a slice of bread, which made the meal surprisingly filling. The chicken itself was flavourful, incredibly crispy without being greasy or heavy, and still juicy inside. The fries were also really good, and the Dave's Sauce was delicious. We ended up using every last bit of it on both the chicken and the fries. The restaurant was bright and clean, and I noticed an employee regularly wiping down tables, which I appreciated. My only complaint is the price. The two-tender meal with fries is $18.99, and drinks are an additional $2.99. It looks like a combo, but it doesn't actually include a drink, so the total adds up. Overall, a solid quick meal!

The staff are conscientious and put each order together as they are ordered. There is usually a small line up of 3-4 people, so you know there are people willing to wait for the food. - it's that good. The only thing I would have different in a future order is to ask for my cabbage roll to warmed all the way through. It was warmed up, but given its substantial size, it was cold in the middle. It tasted fine (I was hungry), but I'm sure the flavours would come through even better when heated up longer.
