I came here with a friend for Taste of the Tri-Cities and we were both amazed at the quality and…read moreservice we received. To begin, we were greeted by an extremely friendly and cheerful server who genuinely seemed happy to serve us. He took our food order first as we weren't decided on drinks yet and said he would return shortly after he put our food order in. My friend ordered the 3 course menu, while I ordered the 5 course menu. He did note that since they were still new at serving the taste of tri-cities menu he wanted to get our order in right away as it tended to take longer than some of the other menu items. A few minutes later he returned for our drink order, and I requested a grape-ade drink (white grape flavoured lemonade?). Another few minute later, he returned with our drinks. Mine was absolutely delicious and reminded me of a particular Japanese white grape flavour that I love. After getting through a third of our drinks, our server returned very apologetic. He advised that our courses were taking longer than expected to be served and therefore we would be able to order another drink of choice on the house. As it hadn't even been that long, we were surprised but extremely grateful for the upfront honesty and quick action on the part of the staff. After another 10 minutes or so, our first course was set on our table. My first course was a soup of the day, which turned out to be a delicious cheddar and broccoli soup. It had some carrot slivers as well, and was a perfectly well balanced soup. My next course, the seared scallops, were brought out quite quickly and were also quite delicious. Admittedly, this was my first time trying scallops so I can't truly review them one way or another, given I didn't know what to expect from them. My third course was the beef arugula salad and although it didn't smell as appetizing given the mixture of plates I had prior, it was incredibly delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly and was just as tender and juicy as I had hoped. My fourth course, the red wine braised short rib served with fondant potatoes and roasted seasonal vegetables, was positively to die for. I, admittedly, was stuffed at this point and already knew I'd have leftovers, but I wanted to finish every bite if I was able as it truly was perfection. Finally, for my fifth course, I was given the cheesecake which was rich, creamy and delicious. It was just the right size of slice and finished off the meal wonderfully. I could not recommend this place more given the service, friendliness, ambiance, and quality of the dishes. This restaurant is incredibly welcoming, with something for everyone from morning to night. It's well worth a visit!

I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon to pick up lunch, I got their koobideh which came with saffron rice and two beef skewers, grilled tomato, and a yogurt dip. I got the koobideh for $15 which was pretty reasonable considering their huge portion!! I had it over two meals. I also got their cream horn to try, it looks like a funnel cake but the texture is more flakey and has a cream cheese filling. It was delicious, not too sweet. Lastly, I also got their spinach pull-apart pastry for $9. It was so big it was a meal of its own! the filling was cheesy and delicious. I can't wait to be back again! 5/5 would recommend

The two by five dish looked miserable, especially the sausage. They looked shriveled up. I swapped the toast for the stuffed hashbrowns and that was the highlight. The stuffed hashbrowns contained cheese, maple bacon, sour cream and green onions. Pretty much a meal on its own as it was quite a big portion. The hash was also crispy which was nice. The rest of the breakfast dish was passable but not wow. Excellent service by the server which made the experience not too bad. Hopefully the lunch items would be better? Not sure if I will go back again though.

We had the chicken and the doner and our tummies were full and satiated. Finished it off with a cookie and we were back on the road to traffic. All said and done, this place was a hidden gem to the passerby, but a known gem to the neighborhood, we suspect.

Persian grocery store and ghetto restaurant(?) along Kingsway…read more Parking is available along Kingsway, as well as the side streets. The place is probably more like a grocerty store with a hot food stand attached. Took a quick look and it's definitely for the Middle Eastern market. Staff are friendly. I tried their kebab meal. Pretty tasty. Kebabs were nice and juicy. Served with pita, grilled tomato, hummus, rice, and 2 types of salad (onion and mixed). Portion size was somewhat decent. Definitely hit the spot. There is also a dessert place (La De Dessert) that is run out of the same space. The guy (owner?) gave my buddy and I a chocolate waffle sample. Pretty tasty too, though it was a bit pricey. Overall I'd come back, though there are a few other similar places in the direct vicinity. Recommended.
