I heard about the hype on their smash burgers so while I was in the area we decided to get takeout…read moreand try. Now the prices for those smash burgers are no where near $5 as promoted on social media in the past, it's more like $12 for the double smash burger, average in price but it was greasy good and quickly came out from the pizza, sandwich and burger counter. It's everything you would want in a smash burger. I highly recommend their burgers and the fast food counter. However, I decided to try some traditional Iranian / Middle Eastern food located at their back counter. Be warned they are NOT fast food... it's very slow to come out. It seems like all the items I asked on the menu are not available. They had a Monday special and everything is sold out by like 2pm or not available. I tried to order something else and it was also not available. I ending up asking what she recommends, and said kebabs so I end up getting Koobideh which is $17 with tax comes to $19. But after I paid I found out I had to wait 15 mins but in reality maybe over 20 mins, which is kind of slow for takeout. I probably would've just skipped if I knew the food would've taken that long and just got food at the front burger counter. They didn't have any other customers there but there are a couple of Uber deliveries I see at the front and notice they are doing some Uber deals. But with at least 3-4 people working on the food at the back, it seems way too slow. When the food came out it was good, the kebab was on par with some of the Persian food I've had around the area but probably not enough for me to come out just for this. I would be curious to try the other foods that I haven't heard of before. But you'll need more coordination with a pre-order given they are slow and things could be not available (at least for the Iranian / Middle Eastern food counter). Keep in mind the staff might not speak English well so don't expect them to be able to explain the dishes and options. I was hoping I could pick up some food and maybe a bit of groceries. However, they don't have many staples like bananas we were looking for (though they have other fruit). More so specialty products, pasta, grains and seasonings. The sangak looked really good and I see they have a huge oven at the back to make it. Apparently, it's Iranian's national bread. I was very tempted to pick some up but way too much for us to finish. Probably not traditional sizing but smaller portions would be great for newbies to buy and try.

Tips: - Hyper Fresh has a fast food stall called Hyper…read moreGrill. When you walk into the store, Hyper Grill is on the right. - If you are a nut, date, or feta fan, you'll fine dedicated sections for these items. A recent Yelp experience introduced me to Hyper Grill, a fast food stall within Hyper Fresh, a cool supermarket that specializes in Iranian and international foods, including Turkish and Indian items. I hadn't visited any businesses along Doncaster for several years. I dropped by often when Cayne's Super Housewares (it was next door to this supermarket), and Hampstead House Books were alive and kicking along this street. I drove over to Hyper Fresh after work on a Thursday. Taking backroads was great. I got here in roughly 25 minutes from home. All parking spots in front of this supermarket are on a slant. There were also cars parked parallel to Doncaster, which was weird. They were all taken. I ended up parking closer to K-Beauty Outlet, which had normal parking. The entrance has a ramp. I felt like I was working out my calves walking in. If you are using a wheelchair, you'll need extra arm strength to get yourself up the ramp and into the store. Coming out of the store, you may need to use your brake! My friend, Sandy, was already in the store, perusing. I found her and we browsed before and after hitting Hyper Grill. It's cool that we like checking out supermarkets among other shared interests. We both enjoyed cheeseburgers at Hyper Fresh. They were excellent smash burgers with all the fixings, including caramelized onions. It also has pizzas, sandwiches, and more. The fries are also yummy, with a light, crispy coating. There is seating to enjoy your food. There's an area with tables and chairs. We sat by the window. It was fun perusing the grocery store. I needed to get celery. The produce was fresh. I was pleased with the selection of celery available. We saw a lot of nuts. No, not customers. Almonds. Pistachios. Cashews. A lot! This store also has an entire display dedicated to dates. I liked that you could enjoy sample dates in this store. I found triangular paratha in the fridge. I got some. It wasn't my regular brand that was flaky. It was triangular without any flakiness, which was disappointing. What was great was getting a small tub of pomegranate ice cream. It was slightly sweet, with a lot of yummy pomegranate flavour. I'm nearly done, so I may need to head back soon to get the larger tub. We looked at salt .Blue salt was going for $20. Yikes! I need to research why it's so expensive. I hope that it has special properties. As with any supermarket, some prices are cheap and some are not. I wouldn't recommend getting pop here. However, it had carbonated yogurt drinks that were decent in price. They also intrigued me. I saw channa masala seasoning and Turkish delight. It was cool seeing other international items. Sandy made a good observation that this store didn't have a whole lot of chocolate. We eventually found chocolate bar squares near the checkout area. I got a milk chocolate bar that was yummy. There's a meat shop in the back left of the store. There was a lot of feta cheese to look at, too. I look forward to returning. I liked seeing the jam varieties in this store, from fig to rose petal. The man at the checkout was so nice. I paid for my goods with a credit card. He put my items in a bag. It was a seamless transaction. I had a wonderful experience shopping here. Perhaps when I'm heading home from work, I'll drop by again and fetch my groceries here. (151)

They have some good stuff, they have some average stuff. This location is convenient because of a few reasons: 1. Close to where I live, King St and Queen St, and all the condos in the area. 2. Has parking. I don't own a car, but if you do and hate paying every time you stop someplace to pick something up, it's a bonus 3. Not too big but has what you want I've gotten Henkels sauce and fry pans here, a meat tenderizer and utensils, and all have been very fairly priced. The displays make sense, staff are extremely helpful and its never too crowded. Worthy of mention: The Henkels stuff was taken from a set. They do this in addition to selling the sets as it makes it easier for customers to get the lice they want without having to buy an entire set. Henkels has given the all clear on this, and the prices are better because of it. They also carry their own line of silicone utensils which are very affordable ($4 I think) as well as the brand name stuff. Worth the trip!

There are pots and pans, electrical supplies and even frozen fish/beef balls.... The selection for sure is a little strange...

I haven't purchased any BBW in quite some time, but I came in during their 1-day sale! I like candles, they sell candles, and they were on sale, so why not? There were plenty of helpful staff around to assist in the sale. Most of them were quite enthusiastic, so it helps facilitate the sale especially if customers are excited and willing to open their wallets. Honestly, I went in there to buy 1 - maybe 2 - candles and I ended up walking out with 9! "Great Christmas gifts", I told myself. My only criticism is that the candles that were on sale were spread out all over the store. I'm sure this is more strategic to force customers to take a look at their non-sale items, but I found it a bit overwhelming as a Shopper.
