The service was just as great. There were other weddings being set up, and it was great that I could see what the set up looked like before making any final decisions. I met with Ramy to finalize planning and pricing, and he couldn't have been more helpful by going over everything. The menu looks AMAZING, and the choices of alcohol is top notch.

DO NOT BOOK THIS BANQUET HALL - Horrible Experience from Start to Finish…read more Our experience with this banquet hall was a complete disaster, and I would never recommend it to anyone, especially not for an important event like a wedding. Let's start with the bridal room -- or what they claim is a bridal room. When I asked Jeet to direct me to it, he told a staff member in Hindi to "clean it before taking her." I was then led down to the end of a dirty basement hallway and shown a few tiny, stuffy rooms with no AC and one barely working fan. It was one of the most disgusting spaces I've ever seen -- completely inappropriate for any bride. Next, the decor situation was a mess. We had hired a third-party vendor to decorate, but Jeet failed to remove decorations from a previous event. Our team had to work around their leftover decor, which made setup extremely cramped and chaotic. As guests began arriving, the carpets were still dirty. I had to ask the manager 3-4 times to get someone to vacuum, and by the time they did, it was already too late -- guests were walking in as a worker was vacuuming the floor. Jeet actually told us to keep the guests outside while they finished cleaning. Unbelievable. We were also charged extra -- a few hundred dollars -- for microphone and speaker use because we had organized speeches. However, the sound system didn't work at all. When we notified Jeet, he brushed it off saying they were "working on it" and asked us to wait. Obviously, we couldn't delay the entire event while they took their time trying to fix it. As for the food, we were told we'd receive authentic Afghan food from their partner, Riaz Catering. What we got was anything but Afghan cuisine. The food was bland and disappointing -- most of our guests didn't even eat. Later we realized that another Indian party downstairs had been served the exact same food, falsely labeled as Afghan. On top of that, they just left the food out all night without properly storing or managing it. To make matters worse, the temperature inside the hall kept rising throughout the night. While the AC was working in the beginning, it was clear they were turning it down (or off) to cut costs, making the atmosphere uncomfortable for all our guests. In summary: 0/10. Jeet and the entire management team were completely unprofessional and disorganized. From the venue conditions to the service and food -- everything was below acceptable standards. Do not waste your time, money, or peace of mind booking this hall. You will be disappointed and frustrated, just like we were.

The lobby had an interesting fountain surrounded by pieces of artwork, and a very large wall decorated with huge paper-like flowers. It would make a nice backdrop for pictures if you were so inclined. We made a reservation for 9:30 a.m. to try their early bird promotion of ordering any size dish (small, medium and large) for the price of $3.50 each (weekdays only). I'm not sure if it was just a quiet week, but there was only one person when we arrived. I was able to snap pictures and pick a table, any table! The dining room took me by surprise. The tables and chairs were draped with cream and gold colored linen, and the stage area was completely adorned floor to ceiling with more of the ginormous paper-like flowers, strands of crystal and upon closer look, the purple and pink fluorescent lights seem to be coming from spotlights. I liked how the ceiling was completely draped in silver colored shimmery fabric. I would describe the stage as being very dramatic and sparkly ...lol Tip #1: It is quite dim inside and my better half had to use a flashlight/magnifier from his phone to take a look at the menu ... guess he doesn't have 20/20 vision as he claims! The service was friendly and efficient, and not as rushed or impersonal as other places we've dined at. The food came quickly but not all at once, and we appreciated the flow as we ordered quite a bit. The presentation of the dishes was quite nice. The dishes we ordered tasted similar and comparable to other establishments. * Chiu Chow Dumplings * Cuttlefish in Curry Sauce * Chicken Feet in Special Sauce * Beef Tripe with Ginger & Green Onion * Rice Roll with Fish & Cilantro * Chicken Pie in Portuguese Sauce * Spring Roll with Shredded Chicken & Taro * Deep Fried Taro Dumpling * Pan Fried Dumpling with Chives * Puff with BBQ Pork A few dishes were truly a miss: * Bovine Tendons - this is one of my favorite dim sum items and I was looking forward to trying it. The tendons were very hard and chewy, and most definitely not simmered enough. My mother-in-law said to take it home and simmer it again ...lol * Sticky Rice with Preserved Meat & Dried Shredded Pork - the rice was al dente and quite bland * Baked Sago with Egg Pudding - one of my favorite desserts and the size of the bowl was quite misleading. I've always been able to share this dessert, but it turned out to be very shallow with just a few spoonfuls! My mother-in-law doesn't eat desserts, and my better half said to enjoy ...lol Overall, our dim sum was good and we enjoy trying new places. There are more items on the menu that are worth trying as well, so you will definitely find some of your tried and true, along with uniquely different dishes. Tip #2: Shout out to Emily L. for letting me know there is a 35-cent charge for each container. We were prepared and brought our own for leftovers! Thank you Emily! Price: Tea $2.00 per person Total: $55.00 + tax + tip Note: I steamed both the tendons and sticky rice for about 45 minutes at home and it made a nice light snack!

I helped my sister-in-law organize her pre-wedding party here a few years ago and we got a private room with 2 tables and I remember both food and service was wonderful. I can't say that it was the best dim sum but it was very tasty. I also liked the fact that there were a few dishes that were either new or prepared in a different way like the dumpling in soup, deep fried shrimp balls, and seaweed fish sticks. I originally ordered 3 dumplings in soup but the server recommended for us to change it to 1 order. She told us that one is pretty big and there would be enough for the 5 of us to share. I didn't really believe her so I just changed to 2. I was so wrong....this dumpling was huge! We were so stuffed after sharing the dumplings. I would recommend ordering one as well if you want to try other dishes or order less. The fish sticks looked like Japanese maki rolls but with cooked fish paste....interesting but I probably wouldn't order it again. The food was a bit pricey on the weekends. It is much cheaper if you come on the weekday before 11am. It was a nice change from going to the busy and noisy dim sum places.

The venue is located close to the end of the subway line so it was easy enough for us to travel up from Toronto. It does include a ten minute walk to actually get to the hall after exiting the train. I loved the overall setup of the banquet hall. It felt intimate and fitting for a party of about 150-200 guests. The entryway included a coatcheck and multiple areas for bars to set up as well as activities for wedding guests. The inside hall itself was beautiful and spacious, allowing for both a ceremony as well as the reception to follow right afterwards. The staff here were just on top of it too in making sure we as guests were taken care of. I appreciated the staff making sure my special meal was provided throughout the evening and for also keeping our glasses full whenever the moment called.

For me though, when you're in the business of making dreams come true, being just nice is the expectation, hence the average rating, though I am leaning more towards 3.5. Came here for a wedding recently and I've got to say, the decor was very impressive from the outside. With many banquet halls, they may be all bling'd up on the inside, but the outside looks like a warehouse entrance. Not with Hazelton, it looks like a luxurious chateau from the outside, surrounded by ample parking. Great first impression. The lobby and ballroom were also beautiful in their own right. Sparkling chandeliers and a spacious reception area allowed for a comfortable mingling experience. Staff were great throughout the experience. The hors d'oeuvres were passed around generously and when a glass was shattered, it was promptly cleaned up. The bartenders were efficient, though the bar was outside the ballroom and created an awkward crowd of people leaving to get drinks once in awhile. Onto what some argue is the most important part of a wedding, the food. Sadly, this is where I drew the line between average and good. The food here just wasn't...that good. The risotto was served prison-style, splat onto your plate from a guy with a ladle, varying in splat sizes. The steak, while pretty tasty, was a very well done, brown piece of meat with none of that desirable juiciness. The dessert was a pretty citrus sorbet nestled within a whole orange or a lemon. Great for Instagram, but way too sour to finish. All things considered, Hazelton Manor is still a solid place to host events, given its beauty. The food wasn't great for me but according to the other reviews, this might be just a matter of the choices that were made. In a city with a thousand banquet halls, this would be a good place to start looking. (48/100) - 2017
