Menu

Good customer service, food is a little saucier than I like, but most people seem to like the sauce. It's unique. There was a mountain of fries on my plate, the portion sizes are good enough for two people, I wasn't able to finish this alone. Menu is a little slim

Rice with Veggies and Soy
Sugunthan S.

I like showtime. The atmosphere and aesthetic are both very welcoming. It is a great restaurant for a group of friends that is different from your regular pub. No alcoholic drinks served here. Also, they have a good selection on their menu. The staff are really friendly and they do have other items from the menu as I ordered rice with veggies and soy. However I did ask them for no hot sauce but the final platter did come with hot sauce. Similarly, my friend asked them to hold the imitation bacon (halal) but he ended up with it on his final platter as well. We still had a good experience here and will return.

I gave it 4 stars but it's probably closer to 3.5. Got another DEAL off DoorDash but nothing piqued my interest. This place was on my front page for a while so I decided why not try it out. I think the DoorDash prices a bit upped from the regular menu but I'm just going to use them for this review because they're what I would've paid. The two items I got (pictured) were the large "showtime classic poutine" (11.95) and their "Ferrero Rocher milkshake" (9.95). I thought the poutine was good. It was decently priced even with the slight markup and a decent portion size. It tasted pretty decent. It didn't have any special additions so it was what I paid for. I was a bit surprised by the milkshake though. A lot of the reviews praised the milkshake in being REALLY good but I thought it was pretty average. Even without markup, the shake is upwards of around $8 which is a lot considering it didn't taste like anything special. I'm sure there were bits of Ferrero in there somewhere but they weren't particularly stand out. It tasted just like a regular chocolate milkshake to me. A bit overpriced on that end. The poutine is about what you'd expect but the milkshake costs way too much for what you're getting...so 3.5 stars it is. It's an OK place but probably won't be returning if there's other options.

I got the chicken and rice with their signature white sauce since it always looked so good on their online menu. I definitely wasn't disappointed, everything was very flavourful and portion size was decent as well. My only complaint is that the chicken was a bit on the dryer side. But other than that, would get again!

Mike Tyson Burger
Charles G.

Traveling for work and stumbled upon Showtime Bistro. Maybe I stumbled too hard and hit my head because something wasn't right about this place. There were two menu items that were "signature" - the Jerk Poutine and the Mike Tyson Burger. I have no idea why it's called that... it was small, overcooked, unflavorful and greasy. It came with fries that were also very greasy and severely overcooked - not to mention a small portion. All that for about $15. Like I said, something wasn't right about this place. When I walked in, the atmosphere looked like one of those places where you order at the counter and sit wherever with your food. However they waited to seat me and never offered me a beverage. The waitstaff hovered around me as if they felt bad I was dining alone, but never really spoke to me. The menu said they served Pepsi products but they brought me a can of Coke (which I preferred anyway). A bit of commentary on the decor... The walls were covered in quotes from movies from no particular genre - things like Toy story, Casablanca, Godfather, Aladdin. They were also playing music, but only Justin Bieber songs. In the hour that I was there they ONLY played Justin Bieber. I wouldn't go back and I'd be surprised if it stays around much longer.

The Big Show (minus mushrooms) Potatoe wedges Strawberry milk shake
Kevin R.

This is my go to burger when I take out with Uber. Burger is called The Big Show Burger. This time my wife and I dined in. With ourselves and another random table for 2, I found the service to be very slow. Even it being noon the teaffic inside the restaurant had maximum 6 people the entire time we were there. Today my beef bacon tasted different. Is it a different brand? Was it burnt? Just did not enjoy it for some reason. However I usually do. Place is clean

Jerk chicken poutine
Sharmila T.

Great space, however food is average. The jerk chicken poutine is really good but they put a lot of sauce, so the fries get soggy quick. If you choose to get it, ask them to put less sauce! The ferrero rocker milkshake is to die for! So good!!!!

Amazing poutine
Lydia I.

First of all, we went on Valentine's Day. Many, if not all ladies in the restaurant got a rose...except for me... I'm not so much of a flower kinda girl anyway. Whatever, we just went there as we didn't want to get ripped off. Location seems a little sketchy. Menu does not have many items. The jerk chicken poutine was amazing, little spicy (I am a mild spice person), but flavourful and very saucy, which I really like. Fries was like Costco fries, the jerk chicken and sauce saved it though. The burger was average, same as fries. Nothing special. The Fererro Roche milkshake was very good. Must try. Very thick and filling, but makes you full of guilt after. We order things, but it took like foreverrrrr. It took aproximately 30min, drank all the water we had. They charge for water by the way (bottled water). For the long wait and price, very disappointed. We didn't even finish the burger or fries. The food definitely looks a lot better than taste.

This place is perfect for hanging out with friends or having dinner with the family. They have lots of parking and seating in the dining room. The decor here looks pretty and they have quotes from movies on the wall. It's nice and bright for photos too. The food here is all 100% halal. They've lot lots of burgers and poutines. They have a good selection of sandwiches to o and some entrees to choose from. The price per person is about $10-$20 depending what you choose to get. I would recommend the poutines. They're cheesy and saucy ! Make sure you save room for dessert ! Their milkshakes are pretty good !!

Went back to show time after about 8 months and again they've changed the layout. Got rid of the booths and add few more tables. Again no longer order at counter now it's sit down. The menu has also been revamped with more options being offered. It's come far from the one pager they used to have about a year ago with only burgers. Now they've got fish and steak etc. I got a show time burger came with wedges and wife got a steak wrap as well as wings as app. I was really surprised when I asked for a salad instead of fries and the waitress told me it would cost $4 more. I've never heard that anywhere. Funny thing is they used to offer salad or fries or wedges as sides no longer apparently. Really weird. However gotta say the wedges were crispy and delicious and man they gave maybe like 6 potatoes worth...it was slot. And the wings were delicious and good size. Definitely would go again.

Jerk Chicken Poutine

Went here a couple of times with colleagues. The place is clean and modern. We ordered the classic Mozart burger, the Big Show burger and jerk chicken poutine. Wait times for the food were slightly long. However, "good things come to those who wait". The burgers are excellent! Even the bun is a fresh yellow high quality bun. They definitely fit the bill as "gourmet". I don't know if kids would appreciate them though, because they area bit large to bite. The poutine was top notch. The potato wedges are terrific too. So you would ask why 4 stars instead of 5? There is a 15% gratuity already on the bill, but when you pay by credit card, the machine asks for another tip. Half of our group ended up tipping twice by mistake (25-30%). I don't know if this is on purpose, but if they include a tip on the bill, the machine should be set to NOT ask for a tip again.

The smoked meat sandwich at SumiLicious was amazing. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender,…read morethickly cut, and full of flavour. It was prepared with just enough mustard (you can ask for extra if you want) and stacked high on rye bread. The sandwich exceeded my expectations. When ordering, the staff were very helpful and happily explained the sandwich options and combos. They suggested choosing medium fat for their Montreal smoked meat for first-timers (which I was), so that's what I ordered. Ordering was fast and efficient, though the restaurant is small, with only two sets of tables and counter seating around the perimeter. When we arrived around 1:20 PM on a Sunday, all table seating was occupied, with only a few stools available at one of the counters. After we took our seats, our order was ready within a few minutes. We ordered three Smoked Meat Combos, which included the Montreal smoked meat sandwich, fries (very good--crispy, hot, and fresh), a small container of coleslaw, and a pickle. Would I return? Yes, if I were in the area again. I'm from Mississauga, so it's a bit of a trek. If SumiLicious opened another location in Mississauga, I'd be a regular customer.

Small store, no fluff, simple diner style feel. Their smoked meat sandwich is simple yet so…read moredelicious. I'm sure the preparation that goes into smoking this meat is not simple at all. But this place has perfected it! Who knew perfectly cooked smoked meat in between slices of untoasted rye bread and a small amount of mustard would be such a dreamy combination. Montreal smoked sandwiches can be found in our very own backyard here at Sumilicious. The poutine is everything you want it to be! Was so impressed with the place, we decided to order a whole turkey for thanksgiving..it was alright, don't think we will be doing that again though. You pay by the pound after the meat has been cooked so it shrinks in size but still ends up being quite expensive. But I will stay the staff care so much about their products. They take great pride in what they make from the smoked meat to the turkey. Upon picking up the turkey, took the time to give me specific care instructions on how to store and reheat the bird. Come check out Sumilicious.

Ordered takeout through DoorDash and food was still decent despite not eating it right away. Tried…read moretheir Crabmeat Foldable Egg Sandwich via their Combo C that came with a snack and a drink and I picked the Hash Brown (3 pieces) and Homemade Lemon Iced Tea. The sandwich was pretty good; there was a good balance in terms of texture. There was also enough sauce but also not too much where it could get soggy. Flavour was good too and the amount of crabmeat was pretty generous in the sense that I actually found it a bit too much. The hash browns were good too and came with a dipping sauce. The iced tea was not bad too. Overall a decent place with affordable pricing.

Location/Service This spot is a little bit hidden in the…read morecorner of Langham Place - second floor on the outdoor side with all the restaurants. Parking is always a headache there - but if you go underground, it's not bad. The place is small - don't recall there's seating - so it's more of a takeout spot. Menu is pretty straightforward with available options and prices. Staff was nice - and orders were done on time (but note you might need to wait at least 10-15 minutes since they are made to order). Food Was craving these foldable egg sandwiches that's been a trend lately - so I tried their BLT sandwich. In terms of ingredients, it was pretty standard for a BLT sandwich - nothing really stood out for me. I had more anticipation for the bread, since these sandwich should be known for amazing bread - but it was a little bland for me. It's like standard bread you could make yourself and not the fluffy or milky Japanese style ones. Their homemade creamy sauce was a good complimentary to the overall sandwich. Overall, my first experience was just okay for this place. They do offer other mains like fried noodles/rice and snacks. Might give it another try to see their consistency.

It's your next door desi food spot for late night bites. We tried to order a mix of their popular…read moreitems and they weren't disappointing. I have had better chole bhature for sure but the sandwich was really good. The dosa was decent too. They had a long queue for their shaved ice with syrup (ice gola) outside coz it was crazy hot that day but I'm not a fan of it so I skipped it. Service was okay too for the meals we had.

Having marked this for a while now and finally made it. Had great expectations that a vegetarian…read morerestaurant would have many more vegan options. To make it odd, the staff not aware what vegan meant. The menu underneath pizza said vegan options, but they couldn't understand that vegan should not include cheese or butter. Not properly trained staff. Dahi Poori was vegan , we were told. They wouldn't even make Dahi (yogurt) Poori with yogurt on the side. We had a Dabeli w/o Butter to make it vegan. It was good, but the spices were way less than we anticipated. The chutney provided was also very mild. Mumbai Meei Jaan platter with Vada Pav made vegan was good. The topped chilli could have been the spicier version. The vegan Bhel was OK, again too mild. The vegan Pani Poori OK again, but the water was way too mild as if made for non-Asians more than for Indian origin customers. Vegan Schezwan Dosa - we assumed it would be street style, made with veggies and noodles in Schezwan sauce. It turned out to be masala dosa with schezwan sauce inside the dosa with regular potato onion filling. The chutney and sambhar again very mild flavours. Family did have Pav Bhaji which couldn't be made vegan. They did enjoy it but again found to be mild as well. Hard to believe that a Gujarat based restaurant had such mild flavours. The interior is plain and clean.
