This place is a gem, make no mistake about it. Finally a bar with good food (aka something aside from fries and chicken fingers). Got the roses pizza for dinner at 10pm and it was better than any late night diner should be. Service was amazing considering it was a one man show. Bonus points for opening late every night of the week. Keep your expectations in line and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Especially given the lack of variety and choice in the area read more

The size of the dining area was somewhat small but we dined during a non peak time. The service was good and the pizza was plenty. I don't think you can go wrong with sharing or ordering your own. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. read more

This place has a wide range of food including pizza which was average and pricey. The cocktails were also average but we were looking for a patio to chill on. Hope they make improvements next time we go. read more

When my original plans fell through for Sunday afternoon lunch I ended up driving around and trying to find a place to eat close to BMO Field so I could make the Toronto FC game in time, luckily I stumbled across Roses New York! This small restaurant is not located in a neighborhood I spend much time in so I'm kind of glad I stumbled across it by accident. The inside looks very nice and it was pretty empty when I came on Sunday. The menu has different burgers, pizza, and other entrees. I ended up getting a breaded chicken sandwich with a side of Rose's Poutine and I was pleasantly surprised with the combination! The chicken sandwich was really good and I was quite the fan of the breading used. The poutine was also good and the French fries were also flaky/breaded and made for a perfect side for the delicious gravy. Overall, Roses New York was a great experience. The server was super friendly, the food was super good, and the restaurant itself was pleasant to be in. I highly recommend coming to check this place out, it'll be worth it! read more

Roses New York - Little chicken and poutine will do the mind good. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Long story short: Good Persian eats at a reasonable price and prompt service! Long story long: Ordered the beef kebob with 2 sides (sweet potato fries and the roses salad). Everything was great! The kebob was marinated well and the meat tasted of very good quality. My partner ordered the Royal burger, which he said was good! Just needed a little ketchup to complete it. I stole one of his fries and it was good too; they seasoned well and fluffy. The crinkle cut sweet potatoes fries also tasted fresh and delicious. The calamari was not my favourite and I've definitely had better. It looked perfect, but had that "double fry", very greasy taste; I think it may have been the oil they used. Although the texture and squid inside were fine. I ordered a berry mojito. I liked the flavours, it was just watered down a lot. The staff were very attentive and kind. The food came out at a good time and we were checked on at a good pace. Overall, I recommend it :) read more

Small hole-in-the-wall but great Alice's and pies. I think it's the best regular pizza/slices in Williamsburg. Consistent, nice folks.

Food was very subpar. Our airbnb was right around the corner from Roses and we wanted to go somewhere for a quick bite. The restaurant was empty when we walked in but it was a cozy space. We ordered the nachos and veggie pizza and wish we went to McDonalds instead. For the price, it was not worth it at all. The nachos were dry, the cheese got cold really quickly, and the pizza was similar to the ones you find in the frozen aisle. Also, the onions and green pepper toppings were raw and uncooked. Kind of disappointed that this was our first meal in Toronto. I probably will never come back here. read more

Roses New York - No thanks - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My friends and I visited Toronto for my bachelorette weekend. Coincidentally, game 1 and 2 of the NBA finals were happening while we were there. We're from the Bay Area and die hard GSW fans. We wanted to watch game 2, and decided to go to Roses New York because it was across the street from where we were staying. We wore our Warriors gear knowing that we were walking into Raptors territory. We walked in and seen an open table, so we sat. The hostess comes up and says, "Just to let you know, if you want to sit here, each of you have to buy 1 food and 1 drink." Mind you, we'd just came from eating and wanted to drink and watch the game. So I suggested if we could buy 2 drinks instead. The hostess said it shouldn't be a problem but she had to double-check with her manager. She comes back and says, "My manager said that 2 drinks equals 1 food, so you would have to buy 3 drinks." OK, whatever. Then I noticed a couple sitting next to us and between the two of them, they had a pizza and 1 beer. Strange. Why were we subject to purchase a drink and a food item, if it wasn't a requirement for everyone? Anyways, everyone ordered their drink and appetizer. I ordered two drinks. My first drink was Jameson on the rocks. For $9 you would think they'd pour all the way to the rim. Nope! They gave me a shot of Jameson with ice. I was so disappointed (pic attached). We weren't planning to stay the entire game, so we asked for the check before the first half ended. I figured, if I wasn't going to buy a third drink, I'll leave instead, and free up the table for another group to sit. So we received our check, and noticed that gratuity was already included. Mind you, there were only 4 of us. To my understanding, gratuity is usually included for parties of 6 or more, unless they do it differently in Canada? We were puzzled, so my friend asked the manager about it. You could tell the manager was trying to come up with a lie because she was stuttering and her reason didn't make sense. She said that gratuity was included because it was a special night and so we wouldn't have to calculate the tip on our own, as if we didn't know how? What a load of bullsh*t. We strongly believe it's because we weren't from there and I didn't purchase that third drink. Whatever, though. The whole time we were in Toronto, everyone was so nice, kind, and polite everywhere else. But this place was just disgusting from the time we arrived until we left. I've never felt so unwelcome. I would never come back to this place, nor would I recommend it to anyone. No wonder it's a 3-star mediocre bar. read more

Service was alright but food was EXCELLENT. Rose Burger was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Nice vibe.

We went there as it was one of the few places open close by (Labour Day) without any expectations as this place is never busy. I'm not sure why though, they have a nice patio, service was good, prices fair. Burger on the pic was 16$ nice seasoning, ingredients tasted fresh, and I really liked the fries. I'll come back and try their nachos. read more

Food was good, nothing amazing. Same thing with the ambience. It wasn't bad, but it was not great either, hence 3 stars.

We went in to watch the NBA finals game on 6/2/2019. From the beginning we were told a minimum of a food and beverage item was required for each of us (there were four of us in the group) to stay at the table we were seated at... way to make your patrons unwelcome! We all ordered a beer/cider and an appetizer each with the exception of one person who ordered two drinks. Shrimp wrap and ciders were good, skip the calamari and Rose fries. Overpriced liquor. We decided not to stay so we asked for our bill and saw they took the liberty of adding the gratuity on our bill. When we asked the server about why gratuity was added she said that they always add gratuity to bills "on nights like this." Needless to say we won't be back at this greedy and dishonest establishment. read more

I've walked by this restaurant a few times and always wondered why it was empty. Thought I would try it out and I'm kind of surprised because the food tastes so much better and affordable than some of the other restaurants on that strip and the decor isn't bad. They open till 2am for food. Food: Love their burgers. If you like the middle eastern spice flavour, their burger meat is filled with it and quite flavourful. Comes with a side of fries, sweet potato fries or salad. I also really like their flatbread. Good size and lots of toppings. Their pizza's are a decent size as well and always come with lots of toppings. Drinks: standard selection Decor: modern, cozy, lounge like atmosphere. Great place to have a private party or drop by for food or drinks if you don't want to make dinner that night. Too bad the crowd is usually small, but I don't mind. Service: prompt and attentive. Appears they have some regulars that drop by and like to carry conversation with the servers, but that shouldn't upset anyone as I've read in some of the reviews. The servers still do their jobs and check on their other patrons. Overall: this place has potential, I would check it out if you live in the area and just want to grab a bite close by or if your down watching a game. read more

This place was horrible. We called ahead to order take out. When we arrived they told us that they made the wrong pizza by mistake and it would take 20 minutes to fix it or we could just take what they made! We agreed to take the pizza but it still took them forever to check out the order so all of our food was getting cold as we are waiting to pay. When we got home we realized the toppings on the pizza were burnt and they missed a few items we had ordered and paid for. The customer service and quality of food is definitely lacking here. read more

Very good food for a reasonable price. Service was very good and helpful. We have eaten here before for breakfast and liked the fare. We definitely want to try it for other meals. read more

Service was good. The sausage dip app was not good. I was going to order the eggplant one but last minute changed my mind. Wish I didn't as I assume eggplant one would be better. The sausage tasted basically like cheap hot dogs. On the other hand the kebabs dish (ordered the chicken and beef one) was good. Good, not great / mind blowing. I enjoyed it and definitely reasonably priced. I would go again but I'd skip the sausage dip. Also I'd like to try their shisha next time around. read more

Roses - Toronto. This is one of the worst restaurants for brunch that I've been to. The food is really bad. Coffee is not fresh, it's served from a pitcher. The sauce of eggs Benedict is awful and the French toast is just a piece of bread. read more

Worst experience here on a Friday night. Won't be coming back. Avoid this place at all costs. Came here on a Friday night and there's one table inside. I waited extremely long for my food and drinks as they are short staffed with only 2 servers and one of the server is missing and the bartender kept telling me she's looking for her. Eventually the other server got to us and told us food is still not ready. I don't understand what's happening. There's one table inside on a Friday night. Night is ruined by this horrific experience ! read more

I heard a lot about this place, I came by around august and it was closed for renovations. Space looks good, menu is fairly interesting, I ordered a chubby pizza, lots of flavour, would easily feed two people, one person if you are really hungry. Service however is poor. The hostess was helpful but one of the servers was too busy chatting with her friend the entire time, I tried to get her attention multiple times but I was completely ignored, to the point I had to get up and ask the hostess for the bill. Over all experience was not so good. If I ever felt like having their food, I'll order as delivery. Pizza Coke Hst ------ Total $ 22.45 read more

We were in the area and just decided to eat here not knowing anything about the place. We were pleasantly surprised. This is a small place and we were there at lunch time. Our server was really friendly and explained the menu right away. I ordered a royal burger, the server said she loves that one. The burger was incredible. It had middle eastern seasonings and was so full of flavor. The French fries were battered so they were crispy and amazing. I was definitely impressed with my meal! read more

Great veggie burger only one server but she did a great job dealing with multiple parties. The chocolate cake was delicious. read more

It was not worth the money! I was not happy with the food or the price. When I arrived there with my husband, I didn't feel like eating there at all. However, I decided to stay because my husband wanted to try Roses's for a long time. Besides, the atmosphere looked nice and the waitress seemed attentive. We ordered only two dishes; Calamari and Pillow pizza. My husband said the pizza was ok but it wasn't ok for me. He also said that it tasted like there were shredded hot dogs on it! The calamari was worse. It wasn't hot. It didn't look like it came from deep fried at all. It sounds funny but I mean it. Calamari was soft and tasted like it stayed frozen for a long time. It looked definitely like the frozen calamari you can buy from Sobeys! Meh! Service was fine but I didn't think it was a good idea for two waitresses to eat at the same time. You had only two waitresses at the time. I don't mind if you guys take turns for a break and have a snack but it doesn't look ok when both of you turn your back to the customers and eat something behind the bar. We live in City-place, however I'm not coming back. The price was too expensive for the food. I'd rather go somewhere else for the same price and have a much nicer experience. read more

My family of 4 came in for dinner. The kids were looking for pizza and I just wanted something good to order. I asked for their recommendation, the waitress said their pizzas and burgers were really good. So we ordered a cheese pizza for the kids, fried calamari, sweet potato fries, kebab and mushroom burger. I also ordered a Rose's ceasar to drink. The only foods we really enjoyed were the sweet potato fries, regular fries from my mushroom burger (which I asked to be crispy fries) and the calamari. First of all, there was so much pepper on the cheese pizza, my kids couldn't eat. You've got to ask the customer first before putting pepper on a cheese pizza. Secondly, just because one adds a few small slices of sauteed mushrooms on top of a burger doesn't make it a mushroom burger. The mushrooms were basically a garnish for the burger. The chicken kebab was tender and juicy, but lacked flavour. Even the ceasar tasted a bit weird. The other table ordered chicken wings and that looked good. I think their appetizers are much better than their main dishes. Overall, would not come back. If you come here, just order the regular drinks and appetizers. read more

Came here today and was disappointed in the cheeseburger and so were my friends - it had a weird cream sauce that was not listed on the menu. My friend got a "sausage" appetizer which ended up being hot dogs in hot sauce :( service was ok though. read more

Very rude manager. Was rude and Kept on sluffing us off. We didn't give her a tip and she said she wouldn't serve us because of it!

Overall good experience I'd say. If you live in the Fort York/City Place area it's worth checking out. They also have hooks for $30 Service: greeted straight away, then abandoned for 20 minutes before we ordered anything. We almost left but I'm happy we didn't. My only complaint. Service the rest of the night was good. Ambiance: great atmosphere with modern shabby chic decor. Small restaurant with a large patio. Will be great in the summer. Clean washrooms which I really appreciate. Food: Lebanese flair- eggplant dip was great. Pizza was good, nice chewy crust- don't order of you are into thin crust crispy. Burgers looked huge but we didn't have. Tomato salad was VERY lemony- good but don't order as a main. VERY reasonable prices. Think $10 burger, $8 salad. read more

The server on yesterday's breakfast shift was extremely incompetent. I don't know her name, but she wore glasses. She lacked awareness, seemed awkward and lost, wasn't super friendly and the whole service left a bad taste in my mouth. The food was amazing though. Portions were great and prices were reasonable considering the location. read more

Great late night place. Sat outside!!! Beautiful views. I really enjoyed it. The staff was nice and helpful!!! Order burger well cooked and yum yum also order tandoori chicken with rice and salad!!! Extremely tender and made with love !! read more

The pizza was good but a bit over the top from a topping perspective making it difficult to eat.

This place is a mess! Me and a couple friends came here the other night and one of the guys from the other table kept calling the waitresses bitches. A big argument broke out and it seems like there's no proper management here whatsoever because the waitress had to defend herself from this really aggressive guy. We kept asking her if she was okay, and she said she was fine but I honestly don't feel good when men call women bitches. Where is the manager? Why didn't the manager escort these people out? I hope those waitresses are okay, and I don't think this restaurant is going to survive if this type of behaviour is able to happen. read more

The service here was ridiculous. We had a group of 6 and there was 2 other people in the restaurant and we waited 30 minutes to get our drink orders. The wait staff were rude and unfriendly, they were on their phones and never checked on us. Took over an hour to get our food and the restaurant wasn't even busy. And the food was okay not that great. 0/10 would not go back again! Terrible! read more

The service last night was super slow. The waitresses seemed frazzled. We sat down and gave our drink order, but the first delay was when the drinks didn't arrive. Next the food took a while to come out and finally we had to get a waitress' attention to provide the bill. I think they need additional staff at this restaurant. The food was good. read more

Ok as promised I did return here and this time I tried some of their authentic middle eastern dishes and was very impressed. This time, the wait times for our food were much faster, the services levels which were great before, were just as good this time around and the food was excellent. My advice? Try anything except the pizza, or burgers (you can get these items anywhere) and go for the authentic special menu items (kabobs, stews, etc) your tastebuds will thank you for this :) read more

Good food but server was on her phone whole time. No one here walked in ourselves. Never asked for drinks. Brought water. Never asked if food was good. Was on 3 different phone calls in 30 min and sat at front of restaurant then went outside and poured herself a beer. Other guy in here got out after us. Never talked to him or anything. Great food but problem was her. read more

This place offering decent Persian taste, not probably the best but it's OK. I usually order Roses Pizza which I really like, I also like Chicken Kebab too. If you are looking for a fast, yummy, decent food, probably worth a shot. Try Roses Fries, as I really like it. read more
