It was one of many businesses that got me through this weird, uncertain time. For the last few months, I got myself reacquainted with Aurora. Well over a decade ago, I frequented Aurora often. I'm not sure why I stopped visiting, but it has been great returning every few weeks. While rediscovering Aurora, I have noticed this Rudy for a while. It used to be a Starbucks that I frequented often back in the day. It's also nearby a Gong Cha that I love. A couple Saturdays ago, after running a bunch of errands, I felt like lunch. I remembered this place and drove up the 404 to get here. There was plenty of parking when I got here at roughly 3 pm. I parked and walked in. I needed to use the washroom, so I made a left to use it. There are two single stalls. The door handle tells you whether it's vacant or occupied. The one that I used before and after my meal was clean. I headed over to the counter to place my order. I got Sarah, who was super patient and friendly. I looked at the combos menu. I went with the rude dude combo. The rude dude is a double cheeseburger. I got it with bacon, which meant that my burger was tattooed. I liked that I got a small poutine as the side because the poutine at Rudy's is excellent. I also got a fountain drink. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. She let me know when my food was ready. I found a table by the wall with windows. I filled my cup with ice and Diet Coke. It was so refreshing. I went back to refill my cup because I needed more of it to wash my food down. It is drafty in this eatery. Most folks had their coats and jackets on. There was a heater in the corner, which did little to heat the entire eatery. I looked at my receipt. Sarah had asked for my name. It was Marrie on the receipt. Close enough! My order was number 71. I thought that I'd hear the number called out and fetch my order. Nope. Sarah brought my food over on a tray. So nice! I thanked her and went to town eating my late lunch. My rude dude burger tasted yummy and fresh. I loved the buttery leafy lettuce, juicy sliced tomatoes, two slices of cheese, sauce, and bacon. The two smashed beef patties were flavourful and perfectly grilled. The bun was soft and held everything together. I loved being reunited with this burger! The poutine was excellent. The gravy was perfect to melt the cheese curds. The fries were perfection. It is the perfect side with the rude dude. I love that this Rudy location is in Aurora. I'll be back again for more good eats. (502)

The patty was tasty with spices & moist enough. I couldn't detect a grill sear but it was already tasty with the spice mix. The burger was assembled carefully (it helped that I was the only customer). The burger sauce was good & Goldilocks-applied (not too much, not too little) & the cheese was properly melted onto the patty. The toppings were good & the bun was a black & white sesame bun, though it was a touch dry. The fries were Cavendish fries & they were well-fried, so there was a nice exterior texture & savoury taste. When I visited the Richmond Hill outlet years ago I believe they used real bacon but this outlet uses beef bacon (the website just calls it bacon).

Their Bread is WOW....amazingly delicious n fresh! The onion rings, were too doughy and bland, needed seasoning and more crisp. Also tried their fries, much better, however would've wished it had been seasoned more and again more crisp.

Despite frequenting a few Tahini's locations for the past couple of years or so, I still feel like a newbie. There are so many locations that I haven't been to. Last Saturday, I was in Aurora, shopping at Best Buy. After I was done shopping, I did a search for restaurants nearby to fetch dinner and found this Tahini's. It's next door to Gong Cha that I tend to visit whenever I'm in town. I placed an order through the Tahini's app with these items: - Blueberry flame chicken shawarma wrap - Baklava I paid and earned points. Easy peasy! My friend, Jennifer, recommended the blueberry flame chicken shawarma wrap a while back. I have had it before and loved it so much that I tend to get it whenever I see it on the menu. It's the recommendation that keeps on giving! I have never had baklava from Tahini's. It was time to give it a try. I got an estimated time of twenty minutes for my order to be ready. I drove across the street to the plaza and parked near both Tahini's and Gong Cha. There's always plenty of parking here. I ended up getting bubble tea next door at Gong Cha and desserts at M&M Food Market two doors down from Gong Cha. I put everything in my car and headed to Tahini's. There were a couple of customers at a table, chowing down. I headed to the pickup counter and had a nice man help me. I let him know that I had an order under my name. It was ready and in a dark grey plastic bag. He handed it over to me. I thanked him, took a few photos, and happily left with my dinner. I put my food in an insulated bag and drove home. Once I was settled at home, I had dinner. My shawarma wrap was still warm. I found it to be filling and the best blueberry flame chicken shawarma wrap that I have ever had anywhere. It's probably because this place was generous with the blueberry sauce. As a fruit enthusiast, it made my day. It had the perfect balance of sweetness with a bit of a spice kick from the habanero. The chicken shawarma was tender and yummy. I loved the pickles, garlic, and parsley all in a nicely grilled wrap. The box containing my wrap had a contest happening. I unwrapped the box and ended up with 10% off my next order. Sweet! My baklava came in six different pieces. My guess is that the heat from my shawarma transferred over to the baklava. Most of the pieces ended up being more soggy than flaky. Note to self: If I have hot food with my baklava, separate the baklava so it doesn't act as a sponge, absorbing moisture from the hot food. The baklava square with chocolate on top ended up sticking to the container lid. The flavours were yummy. The lone square that wasn't soggy was what the other squares should have been. The pastry was flaky and a much more enjoyable eating experience. I'd return to this location, simply because it was generous with everything in this wrap. I just need to get my baklava away from any heat source. (392)

We finally checked out Chick-fil-A again…read more Chick-fil-A is a popular albeit controversial fast food restaurant serving southern fried chicken sandwiches. I've been here several times and it's always good southern comfort. They were offering Kids' Meals on Us, with no strings attached though we also ordered their signature sandwich and milkshake. For around $9, the Kids Meal included 5 small nuggets, a mac & cheese side and a drink such as milk/apple juice. The sandwiches themselves are just OK, it's not overly crisp and the flavors are fairly standard albeit a tad on the salty side with their house sauce. We usually choose deluxe for the lettuce & tomato slice. The waffle fries are nice, as is the iced tea. Their regular Chick-fil-A sandwich is now $8.39 here and a meal has risen is over $12. You can expect to have a quick meal served straight to your table. The interior is still packed & clean. Skip it or hit it? It's a pleasant meal for southern fast food, but be ready for a small crowd.

A couple Saturdays ago, I was running a few errands. Once I was done, I felt like visiting a diner for lunch. I did a search and found Poached Dreams Diner in Aurora. I didn't mind driving up from Markham to check it out. It was straightforward getting here. I parked in the parking lot and walked in from what looked like the back of the diner. There's also a front door with a patio that faces Wellington Street East. I was immediately greeted by a young, enthusiast woman. I let her know that I needed a table for one. She got me to a comfortable booth by the window. The catch is that you have to watch your step to get to your seat. It's a treat when I have breakfast out. I thought that I'd be getting french toast. Well, all that changed when I saw a heading for comfort foods on the menu. Nothing makes me happier than seeing open-faced sandwiches on a menu. It was probably during my days living in Winnipeg that I fell in love with such sandwiches and at least a side. New goal: come here and have every open-faced sandwich on the menu. I got cold water to start. It was refreshing and much needed after running errands. I ordered these items for my meal: - Diet Coke (2) - Hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies My Diet Coke came with a glass with ice. I loved it. I wish the can was larger! I needed a second can for dessert. I loved my hot turkey sandwich. There was a generous amount of sliced turkey smothered in sauce over a slice of white bread. I got to choose my starch. I went with mashed potatoes. There was enough gravy over the turkey that I dunked my spoonfuls of mashed potatoes into it. I loved the steamed veggies. They were perfectly cooked. They also went into the gravy. The meal was delicious. I'd order it again. I felt like dessert. I asked if there was any. Baklava with pistachios. I said yes. I thought that it would be a square or rectangle. Nope. I got a roll. Cool! It was perfect. It had the right amount of honey. It was crispy and yummy. So good! I paid my bill at the table. I tipped and then tapped my credit card. I elected to have the receipt texted to my phone, which also signed me up for its points program. Yay! I learned that this diner has been open since June 2025. I'm always late to any party because I seem to live under a rock or in a cave. I'm glad that I visited this eatery. Great food. Great service. Great! I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom was clean and had a full-length mirror. This eatery is huge. It looks like there's a cafe for those grabbing coffee and maybe a snack before leaving. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks. (148)
