Given that much of the Middle East borders the Mediterranean, the lack of Middle Eastern seafood in Toronto is sad - but Ghadir Fish does its part in representation! They get 4.5 stars. Jumbo shrimp were grilled over charcoal. They were very fragrant & pretty tasty. It came with 3 (!) sides. Rice was good - fluffy & spiced with a noticeable cumin flavour. It was not salty despite its look. Batata Harra (spicy potatoes) were good: a bit crispy. The dish also came with bread (for the baba ganoush, maybe) so don't overload on carbs with your choice of sides. The bread was a bit old & pre packaged but I just took it as a bonus anyway. The baba ganoush itself was decent. Portions are big here. If you choose mixed vegetables they're just tossed with olive oil and garlic. The red sauce on the side was slightly spicy - more tart. It was good too. You can get whole fish sold by weight here too. They have some Middle Eastern drinks, like Mirinda Green Apple from Egypt & Mirinda Citrus from Saudi Arabia.

The tabouleh and baba ganoush were great too. Service took a while but I mean it makes sense so you can't complain. The ambiance is really unassuming but you're here for the food and that's it. Great experience

It is absolutely huge and spacious inside! I loved that they filter real tea leaves and then kept the tea hot on a candle burner. The service was friendly, though at times, staff may be hard to flag down because it is so busy! Food was phenomenonal. Lots of set menus to choose from, good for all groups and size. You have to get the dry aged steak; it was cooked to perfection! For lobster, we went for the classic ginger & green onions flavour, and also the salted egg flavour; both were delicious! It came with a light dessert at the end: a black sedame and white coconut jelly :) Yum!

Really cool fishing boat theme. Super friendly and quick…read moreservice. Went during lunch on a Friday and the place was pretty empty. Probably a total of four tables being served including myself. Seafood platter $15.95 - comes with two different fish I think, scallops and shrimps with a side of rice, potatoes and veggies. The veggies were steamed and seemed like the ones you get frozen. The carrots texture was like rubber. The fish were grilled and drenched in a buttery garlic flavour. I don't find the fish that fresh as some pieces had a fishy flavour. The potatoes were in the shape of balls and a bit smaller than ping pong balls. They tasted good topped with tartar sauce. Halibut special$16.95 - This was not on the menu but located on a board at the back of the restaurant. You get the same rice, potatoes and veggies mentioned above but you also have a choice of the soup of the day or salad which you can get from their salad bar. I went with the soup of the day which was beef barley soup. It was really flavourful and had rice shaped noodles with some beef chunks. It went well with the complementary bread. Being a seafood restaurant I was really expecting more from the fish but it fell below expectations.

The Favorites We kicked things off with their saffron‑kissed Arancini--bite‑sized spheres of rice and smoked mozzarella, godsends dipped into bright tomato-marinara and pesto. Next came the Pizzano pizza: a perfectly blistered crust layered with pepperoni, Calabrian chilies, fior di latte, hot honey drizzle, and aged Parmigiano--an addictive balance of sweet‑heat and savory richness. The pillowy Gnocchi arrived next--smothered in butternut squash purée, earthy wild mushrooms, hazelnuts, sage brown‑butter, and a final snow of Parmigiano. And the Fritto Misto was a crunchy delight: lightly breaded shrimp, calamari, scallops, all perked up with zesty lemon‑caper aioli. Setting the Tone We started with cocktails, which hit the right note--elegant, balanced, and a little unexpected. They added a celebratory lift that carried right into the meal. Service was smooth and welcoming, striking that hard-to-nail mix of polish and warmth.
