I…read morewas walking around, looking for something to try when the very ... let's say enthusiastic guy behind the counter offered me a sample. Free food? For sure. I assumed it was because they were just opening and this was a sales pitch. He went to get me some chicken shwwarma but I declined, citing my vegetarianism. So he gave me a sample of something that I realize now I can't remember but it was good. Real good. So he whipped me up a plate. A big plate. A plate that far outstripped my appetite but it all looked very good. Throw in a drink and the bill came to about $12. Which, considering I'd been thinking a pizza slice was going to be my lunch, was more than I wanted to spend. But, I figured, I should be more adventurous. And the food was good. Very good. So good I kept eating long after the point of being full and I still had tons of food left. So, for food court fare, it's a bit more expensive than I might like to pay. But it's also better than most food court fare in terms of taste and health. You'll have to weight the pros and cons for yourself.

During my exile in Ottawa, the strip malls on the Bedford Highway across from local institution The…read moreEsquire (charmingly named Esquire Plaza 1 & 2) evolved into a hub of cuisines from around the world, and I'm here for it! I've checked a few of these places off my "To Eat At" list, and when looking for some easy takeout after a long day, I took the opportunity to strike another name through. Tanoor is an interesting mix of Syrian and Yemeni cuisine, reminding me of the many East Asian restaurants that put multiple countries' food on their menu to expand their business' appeal. Shawarma features prominently, with both chicken and beef, as well as different regional variations including the Canadian-ized version with more vegetables, and the more traditional version of just meat, garlic sauce and pickles. On the Yemeni side of the menu, one of the country's most famous dishes is the star - mandi. Traditionally, this would be prepared by cooking the meat above a pot of rice in a tandoor/tannur/tanoor, and since it forms the basis of Tanoor's name, I'm going to assume that's how they do it here as well. For our order, I went with a whole chicken mandi, which includes rice and zahawig hot sauce, and I tacked on an order of tabbouli to add some green to the meal. It was ready for pickup in quick order, just 15 minutes later. The mandi was an impressive sight as takeout, although I'm sure it's even better when plated for dine-in. A red-hued, spatchcocked chicken lay atop a huge mound of warmly-coloured rice, which had seen some saffron and other seasonings itself. The container is one of those large rectangular aluminum trays you see at pot lucks and the like, so this was a LOT of rice. After serving up the plates, we eagerly dug in. The chicken skin lost its crispness while wrapped for takeout, but it and the meat had a warm, earthy flavour profile not dissimilar from Indian tandoori chicken that we're more familiar with. The ultra-tender (and admittedly a bit overcooked) meat fell off the bones. The rice had its own complementary flavours from the saffron and the cardamom seeds that dotted the dish, while the tangy zahawig brought contrast and a hint of spiciness to our meal. I found Tanoor's tabbouli to be more lemon-forward than most that I've had, with a layer of sweetness to balance out the acidity of the lemon juice. Not a wild departure from a well-known dish, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I may not be out in the Bedford area very often, but Tanoor and many of its neighbours have added a lot to the area's food scene that would have been hard to imagine not that long ago.

Some TIPS on running a food business…read more Here is a REALLY simple suggestion for those in customer service. If you send your delivery guy to a location, make sure their handheld device works. If you are the delivery driver, and the device doesn't work. Stop trying after 22 minutes (timed it). If you've got the customer standing for that long at their door, and you've tried 5 times. It's time to hang it up. When the driver calls and take another 5 minutes on the phone telling the restaurant, 'it don't werk'. Then take a moment and ask yourself. Is the food cold by now? Is it an inconvenience for them? Is your $20 order of fries and sauce REALLY worth it? Or should you just give the customer the food and apologize? Lastly when the customer calls to complain because they were told the driver needs to go back GET ANOTHER DEVICE and return, you answer the phone like you were woken from a nap and are pissed off. Lastly, if you act like you don't give a crap, it doesn't help your business. PS. Your food was cold. The order was wrong. Again. And after being one of your first customers when you opened, that is the very last time we are giving you a dime. You are not even worth that any more.

The owner runs the place and can often be found in the kitchen, cooking up his next batch of food. The hummus here is outstanding; you can purchase a generously sized container and some pita chips to take away with you. The food itself is standard Lebanese fare: flatbreads, grilled meats, tabouleh ... all the things you miss at other restaurants. Tip: Don't try to get a full dinner close to closing time. The grill is shut down and cleaned at least a half-hour before the restaurant closes, so you're stuck with reheating dishes prepared for earlier in the day.
