What a hidden gem! I'm so glad I found this place online while searching for food. We wanted something different and since I know falafel is usually vegan, we decided to stop in. The person working was helpful in answering all my questions about which options were vegan. My BF got a bowl with chicken shawarma and all the toppings- he devoured it! Beware, the bowls are HUGE and you will definitely be full after eating them. I ordered the falafel wrap with all the veggies and just hummus (since the other options had dairy in them). We also ordered a side of fries. They were a little salty but we loved the spice on them. Both of our meals were outstanding. Our last day in town we didn't know where to eat so I suggested coming back again. We had another delicious meal cooked to order! I tried the dolmas that time and they were good, but not my favourite. Would definitely stop in again if we're ever in town. read more

Very friendly and patient staff. Order at the counter, fair amount of seating inside in this strip mall location. Good falafel wrap with a proper lavash/pita. Lots of condiments to add if you want. Friend who has never had Middle Eastern food tried the shawarma plate but added too much sauce. She didn't like the pita but liked the pita chips so when she asked what the chips were made from I told her from the bread she didn't like. [grin] The price was exceptionally reasonable, and I think this is a good find in Stratford, where things can get really pricey. read more

Got takeout: the shawarma was good, but the garlic sauce was a little disappointing. Not a strong garlic flavour. Falafel was overdone.

The rice looked and tasted like it was minute made white rice, when any GOOD shawarma restaurant uses authentic jasmin rice. In short, The beef was repulsive, giving a metallic processed meat after taste. Portion size to cost was ridiculous, 1 Pita, 1 tablespoon of hummus, 1 tablespoon of garlic sauce, very little veggies, and a less than average portion of rice and meat. These guys need to take a trip to Barakat in London and see how these guys do Shawarma. TL;DR Don't waste your money. Disgusting.

First of all, they sent me the wrong meat in my food. I asked for chicken and it smells and looks…read morelike some sort of pork. The reason I say looks like, because there was so, so much fat and grizzle on the meat that you could not tell. I specifically asked for more rice than meat because I really don't like any of their meat (at least the chicken is somewhat edible). They normally fill at least 1/2-3/4 bowl full of rice. I didn't even get 1/4 rice, which was sitting in a bed of oil, because of the grizzled pork they sent me. So they piled that disgusting meat on top of it. I was allowed to get 4 toppings of cabbage, so I chose that. I'm lucky if I got 2 out of the 4. Then top it all off, delivery driver didn't even ring our bell, he just dropped off the food on the porch and left because we had prepaid by credit card. Food was cold when we found it

We didn't stay at the hotel, but got a nice tour of it and liked how many nooks there are to read or play games in, how different rooms/floors are Shakespeare-themed, etc. It seemed very well thought out - not just another basic hotel chain. Steel Cut Porridge: If you love dessert for breakfast, this is excellent. The banana is caramelized (flambeed?) and the oats are perfectly cooked and sweetened with the birch syrup. I got this twice and it's just the right amount. Avocado Parfait: This was weird, but edible and very filling. I wouldn't get it again - the avocado was a weird choice. Like a sweet guacamole? Pain au Chocolat: Fresh and warm, a little soft (I like them a little more crispy on the outside and soft inside). Decent amount of quality chocolate inside. Crispy Smoked Bacon: Okay this one was maybe not as well priced as you only get three pieces of bacon, but it was tasty and I didn't have any regrets. Thin cut, wide, fatty slices. Maple Breakfast Sausage: No complaints, nothing too special, so it was a little pricey at three sausages. Better of course dipped in maple syrup! Bruce Blend Tea: This was quality black tea, but also just okay for me personally. I appreciate that they tell you how long the tea should be steeped and give you a timer for it. Apricot Tea: I liked this a lot on its own, but I liked it even more with some maple syrup, which made it taste like peach rings. Lychee Tea: This was nice and also I liked it better with a little maple syrup. Fabulous service. On weekends you get hot towels, which I thought was kind of funny. There is a path just outside that leads to the Stratford Festival Theatre, which is nice. I don't know that I could afford to stay at the hotel, but I would definitely come back to the restaurant.

I stopped by for a lunch before heading to Elora and ordered a halibut & chips and added on grilled shrimp on the side.

Fries were great as well but would like to see more fries on the plate. Shrimp was also really really good. I think it's hard to screw up grilled shrimp but their seasoning was cajun style and very good. Probably won't be in the area often but it's a great spot for some great fish and chips and clearly a neighbourhood classic.

Booooring. Good service, typical boutique / tourist destination restaurant pricing (not cheap),…read moremostly small plate servings...but overall a disappointment. We ordered: blue crab hashbrowns (the only standout; would definitely order again, except that I won't likely return), salt roasted beets, brussel sprout caesar, scallops, and duck breast; then we both had creme brûlée and espresso. We tried the three white wines, one was a forgettable Chardonnay and the other two...were equally forgettable, notwithstanding being less common grapes. Only the duck was a main-size serving, and we only chose it because when we ordered there was only one order of scallops remaining (for a 5:30 seating!). I want to say "just as well" because the scallops and sauce were bland so we got to try something else...however the duck was not merely uninteresting but the red pepper sauce didn't complement and contributed nothing. The scallops were priced like a main but only four little guys on the plate, the one upside if we had both chosen them we'd have had room for another order of those crab hashbrowns. The beets were also dull, no idea why the word salt is in the name because it was absent from the dish. No tang to anything except the brussel Caesar. I've seen the brussel sprout restaurant renaissance of the last 10-15 years, this dish is pretty common now. This one was on a par with many others I've had but no improvement, and some might be put off: fully half the outer leaves are charred to the point of becoming a mouthful of ash. Not crispy, just dry ash. I guess that's different...and maybe this is the root of the problem. This restaurant makes a point of changing their menu constantly; not just seasonally, but weekly, even daily. So maybe they're just trying out stuff that pops into the chef's head. With the exception of the crab, every dish seemed to need something to make it interesting or appealing. The espresso was good, but the creme brûlée was another ill conceived concoction, with some kind of raspberry trifle thing on the bottom and the creme was a strange thick porridge-like texture and not quite the typical flavour. Last complaint: their self-description says Elevated Comfort. No. Mundane bistro look and ok seating, but that steep and poorly lit descent to the basement washrooms is the opposite of comfort. Hey, maybe we just picked the wrong items from their evolving experiment of a menu. The people are all nice, the service was good, and none of the food was bad...just meh.
