Reviews
We had our son's Holy Communion lunch here and the food and service was top notch all the way. The manager was communicative throughout the entire planning process. Highly recommended for any religious celebration.
Every visit has been a delightful experience for my family and me. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making us feel right at home the moment we walk in. The highlight of our dining experience has consistently been the outstanding service provided by Jatashae. She goes above and beyond to ensure we have a fantastic time, always greeting us with a smile and catering to our every need especially taking care of our young son with exceptional care. The food is consistently delicious, capturing the authentic flavors of the Middle East. Paramount Middle East Restaurant is our go-to spot for a memorable and enjoyable meal. Highly recommend!
Great service. But I wish they served me with a fresh chicken. I asked if the chicken is fresh. And the chicken shawarma skewer was really new and fresh. I decided to have one.
And the result I got my shawarma wrap NOT from fresh shawarma WHICH WAS SPINNING . (From the drawer which possibly was cut the day before and stored it ). If you see the picture you will understand that if meat is fresh cut or not.
I hope health inspectors following this food handlers.

Persian Palace is a top-notch business! Their service is amazing, and their prices are very fair. I appreciate their honesty and expertise, and I'll use them again for future needs!
I've had an amazing experience with Persian Palace! Their service is prompt, reliable, and affordable. I'll definitely use them again for future events!
Persian Palace exceeded my expectations! Their service is outstanding, and their team is professional and courteous. I highly recommend them for any catering or event needs!
We recently had the privilege of holding a memorial dinner at the Persian Palace and were truly impressed. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, and the food was amazing. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every guest had a memorable experience. The food was great and presentable. I am incredibly grateful to Persian Palace for their outstanding service and for creating a memorable evening to honour my father-in-law. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or event.
I sort of under estimated this place until yesterday I decided to give it a try damn the flavor profiles were PRESENT!!! I'm a big lover of mediterranean food and this place got my heart! The staff are also amazing our Server Jatashe was the best experience I've had in Canada!
This is now our family go to restaurant until we try the ENTIRE menu! The Paramount drink is unique and absolutely delicious 😋 Great place kudos to the staff who make the experience worth it!! Will be back on the weekend 🙌

Went on May 12th to celebrate Mother’s day, we did reservation 2 hours ahead of time, we arrived got seated by Natasha (5 people in total) waited for almost 30 hour for food to be served on the table, food was good however, we were told by the server that someone else is waiting to be seated!! Total time was in is 1 hour and half ( food took half an hour to be on the table) while we were eating kunafi, she approached us to say pretty much we have to leave and someone else is Waiting to be seated. Well let me say this I don’t care if Someone is waiting, as a customer who come in to enjoy a special event, you do NOT tell your customers to leave for someone else to sit while we are STILL eating, so unprofessional and disrespectful.
The food at this restaurant was decent, and I found the decor to be quite fun. While it didn't become my favorite spot for Middle Eastern cuisine, it served its purpose well for a quick bite.
We choose Persian palace for our wedding, and I’m so beyond happy about everything they offered us. Mr Behrang was an absolute help, and his understanding management and communication was everything we needed. The food , their timing, and staff was incredible.
Most importantly I would like to take a moment and talk about Mr. Reza who designed our flower arrangement. He made a bridal bouquet that I couldn’t asked for any better. Our head table, sofreye aghd was so beautiful, I left everything on their hand from the day one we choose them for our most important day and I knew it would turned great but honestly they went beyond and above for everything, their understanding , help and kindness was everything we needed as a newlywed, we are absolutely grateful for all of their services and of course we recommend them to whoever is looking for a classy, friendly,cozy wedding.

Great location for North Indian and Pakistani cuisine value for money takeout. There is a wide variety of choices with appetizers, curries, vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. This is a takeout-only location no seatings for dining. My favorite is Biryani, Kebabs and Butter chicken.
I have booked one month in advance for 4 people for New Year Eve. They charged me all the money in cash and when we came there.
They said you have to sit at a table shared with 8-10 more people.
That is because they were overbooked and they sticked together.
It's like a funeral in Iran.
I don't suggest you all to reserve and eat in this restaurant. I have 2 guest from the U.S and that was terrible for us.

I enjoyed the butter chicken and daal tanka each time I come. The best Indian food I have had in Ottawa.
The value is in the food. It is counter service and a simple dining area. If you are looking for a date night, leave the kids with grandparents, bring it home and settle in with Netflix.

I planned my best friend's wedding in persian palace recently. my best Regards to managment group (Tahmineh and Behrang) for their professional and kind cooperation! I have to add a very special thanks to Reza, the florist of Persian palace, for his convenient price and awesome work as you can see his work in the pictures.
Thanks a lot to all the staff of persian palace, you are amazing guys🖐
DJ Payam knowledge of different type of traditional music, from different cultures is great. He did his best to keep the party warm and pleasant.
Hope to see you in more happy events in future 🌹

Generous portion + suitable for our cravings! Lollipop Chicken & Friedrice using Basmati rice is sooo delicious! And got a goooood salsa on the side too😊
Samosa was delicious. Nice green chutney as well.
Really tasty food - got the butter chicken, Shahi paneer, Samosa chat and Chicken pakora. The garlic naan too was really good!
Used to be amazing Uber Eats option, ordered it 50+ times, sadly they increased prices and reduced portions and removed combination options, which has effectively ruined its value proposition. Food is great, quality is still there, but no more ability to create your own box, delivery box is much smaller than it used to be, and portions have shrunk. Super disappointed that they decided to change their menu combinations, and simultaneously got more expensive with smaller portions. Choose one or the other: either increase price for the same portion; or reduce portion for the old price. Do better, you will lose loyal customers.
we randomly walked in. the amount of food is big. Surprisingly, my daughter finished the whole box and said she would like to 10 out of 10. She usually can not eat that much food.
Delicious food at a very reasonable cost for the area! If you’re looking for authentic Middle Eastern, this is definitely worth a try.
The falafel is perfectly crispy on the outside and perfectly smooth on the inside. The hummus is velvety smooth and the pita is hot and fluffy when it arrives.
The servers were prompt and friendly and the atmosphere is casual but classy.
Plus lots of vegetarian options to choose without sacrificing flavour!

Went here to grab some food. Ordered the angara chicken naan wrap. What i got was a lettuce wrap with 1 piece of chicken spread across the naan. (See picture), and it is a big naan....the chicken was quite dwarfed....
When i called them out about the one piece the girl grabbed and semi-hid and ran to the kitchen to make the wrap, they added more, then looked like they took out everything but the original piece when building the wrap.
I could hear them arguing in punjabi about how much chicken goes in the wrap in the kitchen. It was quite insulting, actually, i paid for the food....not like it was free.
This is the Britannia location, and the kids they have working at the front desk are some of the rudest people I've come across in a while.
I debated writing this post, but the chicken wrap is a regular item i purchase, and the extreme lack of chicken is blatantly obvious and disgusting.
I understand shrinkflation, but at this point, they're just ripping us off, i pay for chicken....they give me naan and lettuce. It was pathetic and extremely dishonest of them.
On top of that, we asked for our recipt multiple times.....did not get a receipt.
This place used to be great but is such a hit and miss now... mostly miss.
If you haven't been here before, do yourself a favor and dont waste your money unless you can't make it absolutely anywhere else.

A restaurant on Yonge St just south of the Eaton centre makes for a very convient eatery for those shopping near by. Service was fast and efficient. Tables were cleaned and dried prior to having us seated. Washrooms were reasonable considering it's Yonge St.. Mgmt team , consider changing the Dyson drier in the men's washroom, it's at the end of its life. See pictures. Food was as discribed in menu. Fries were soggy and lacked flavor. Salad was probably made correctly but not my favorite. Over all a good middle east experience. Good value for money.
The best middle eastern/mediterranean restaurant worldwide. This branch on Yonge street also serves the same quality. The ambiance is good.
Their Shawarma, Baklava are great. Its a busy restaurant and you might have to wait for few minutes.

Very nice place to eat, if you are in downtown and looking for a different taste.
The food was delicious we tried the chicken shawarma and the garlic bread was so good. This is the place if you want to try some middle eastern food in Toronto downtown.
The service was nice and quick we didn't wait too long for our orders and the waitress was very friendly.
The atmosphere was good with middle eastern music which we loved. Highly recommended for food lovers who enjoy experiencing new flavors

I am lying here at St. Michaels Hospital. My wife and daughter who are staying in Toronto close by went yesterday to see if they can find a place with some good food to substitute the hospital cuisine. They brought me back some Tom Yum soup . Wow is all I can say. My family told me about the incredible service and friendly staff. Today they went again and brought me back a small Tom Yum Soup and a super salad wrap. I had the soup earlier and saved the wrap. I just woke up and despite the somewhat intimidating size of the wrap started eating it. What happened in my mouth in terms of flavour and taste is hard to describe. I ate the whole thing because I could not stop. This by far the best wrap I have ever eaten and is quite possibly the best wrap on earth. What the Antibiotics and excellent care I receive at St.Mikes can’t do this wrap will do. I can’t wait to get heal and meet the owners myself. God this wrap made me emotional. Thank you super salad
It wasn’t a good experience. We ordered mixed grill. Rice was extremely cold, meats cooked well. I couldn’t finish my plate. Falafel was good but it served really late. Service , foods and hygiene were bad. Not recommended
The food at Paramount Express in Brookfield Place on Monday, Sept. 18th at noon was horrible. The salad (as you can see) is a fraction of what constitutes a meal (and we were charged full price). The chicken was dry and cold. They were unapologetic about the amount that was served and it’s unacceptable to charge the price they did.
All dishes is very good but my favorite biryani and nihari they have best service and fast service in town
They had my friends living with someone who smoked meth in the apartment.
they're always so stingy with sauce, vegetables, and meat. i paid for double meat as well and still the portion wasn't adequate. i asked for a little more lettuce and sauce and they barely put anymore and handed the box off to the next person so i could not ask them for more again. this happened on 2 different visits so I'm very disappointed :/ Other paramount branches provide much better service.
I always order big catered lunches for work meetings from AAamazing Salads. They have the most delicious wraps, beautifully presented lunch boxes and incredible service. They are always reliable and taste delicious. It is always a crowd pleaser when I order from here!
We usually order biryani and had a good experience. But today ordered Sindhi biryani & lahori fish and wr very disappointed. Thanks for giving alot of rice but they wr mushy and sticked together. There ws only one chicken pc in 1 box and two half sized legs in the 2nd..havn't opened 3rd box yet. We didnt like the taste of it, sorry but it ws only a lot of red chillies.
Disappointed to spend 50 bucks on that quality of food.

I went in because the smell was so good when I was in the parking lot, I do not regret it. Lots of choices but the man working there suggested chicken Tikka masala and it was really tasty, I will be returning to try more of their food.
Absolutely terrible portion size, almost no chicken in their wraps which are now at a cost of $12. No value for money, recommend you avoid.
So good! My new favourite restaurant for date night!
We had visited the Yonge St. location on our honeymoon week and really loved it.
This location was convenient for us so we wanted to give it a try.
Plenty of seating, large tables and comfortable chairs. Great, fast service and really delicious food. We had a mixed grill and labneh plate and everything was fantastic.

The is a very good Middle Eastern restaurant that is well decorated and has a decent atmosphere. The food is delicious, but inconsistent - some things were fantastic (the bread, hummus, foul, saj shawerma) while others were less of a hit (the Zaatar manakeesh as an example). The servers were attentive and helpful. There's a small indoor play structure for the kids, it's a nice touch for families.
We came for breakfast right at 11 am when they opened. We were greeted and told we could sit anywhere we liked. The employees were courteous and helpful. We were 2 families 5 people each; 6 kids and 4 adults. We placed our order within 15 mins, the food started to come out. It was presented nicely and was good. While the level of lemon in some dishes was high in my opinion some on the table enjoyed it. Overall we had a good time.
We have been going to silver spoon for a while. Their food is good but recently they introduced Falooda for only $3.99. It’s amazing! We love the sweetness level, taste and the price. The other night we got Faloodas and the the owner gave us a few free samosas as it was the end of the day. It was nice!
Karara is an absolutely amazing Indian take out spot. The food is so delicious and could be customized to our flavour. I like my food spicy and they have been making some of the most flavored and spiced dishes that I can imagine. So much variety and I can't think of any place better in town to go for lunch. The staff is very respectful and polite to customers. And finally I'd like say when it comes to cleanliness they have it kept top class and well maintained.
Thank you Karara.
Thank you Karara.
I drove from out of town last weekend to buy some fresh Red snapper after finding this seafood market on google. I was able to buy the last 3 fish in stock that day. I was super impressed with the quality of the fish, the cleanliness of the facility and the exceptional service from the staff that served me. The pricing was much higher than I’m used but definitely worth every penny. My stuffed red snapper tasted impeccable and my husband commented that this was the best quality fish he has ate in Canada. I have already recommended this seafood market to others and I will definitely be back! Thank you Waterfront Seafood Market!
Delicious chicken biryani, I’ve had better but this is pretty good as well. Chicken very tender!
This was $16 without a tip, I don’t even have to explain myself, just look at the bits of dry chicken
October 21, 2023 (2 months since my 2nd email to Silver Spoon): Drum roll, please ... Actually, it is quite sad that I did not receive a response from them via email. What great customer service skills! Gotta love their lack of professionalism. A round of applause for them. 👏👏👏
Fun fact: I even had a receipt. Yupparoos, I attached it twice to both of the emails that I sent to them.
Silver Spoon, do not bother responding now because it doesn't matter anymore.
Previous Update: On August 21, 2023, the owner responded and asked that I resend my email. So that's what I did. 🙃
Note that my initial email (separate from my review) was sent on August 3, 2023.
My Initial Review:
I wrote an email to Silver Spoon (on the same day I made a purchase) regarding all of the bones (without any meat on them) in the lamb karahi. Do you think they were kind enough to respond? No! They didn't have the decency to respond nor apologize. If you want poor service and a lot of bones in your meal, then this is the place to go to.
I am not the type of person to complain nor do I enjoy putting down a business but I am beyond disappointed in their service and lack of response. I pretty much paid full price for some sauce and a lot of bones with only 1 or 2 pieces of lamb meat (see the enclosed pictures).
My apologies for the negative review but I think it is necessary that people know what they may receive from your restaurant.

This place was recommended to me for my lunch breaks as part of a business trip in Toronto and I must say this is a fantastic place where to have a healthy and tasty lunch!
The owners always welcome you with a big smile and some nice words and it's always a pleasure to go there and to discuss with them.
I'll definitely save this place for when I come back to Toronto.
Thank you so much for everything!

Great seafood! Ordered it for my daughters birthday. I dealt with Matt and he was extremely professional and very helpful. He choose a platter for us and it was a big hit. My guests were complimenting the seafood all day. Make sure to see Matt at Waterfront Seafood for the best customer service and seafood out there!
The selection and quality of fish and seafood at Waterfront Seafood Market are amazing, the best around. The great service you receive there is first class too. Matt was extremely helpful and gave us the perfect cooking suggestions that made our meal an absolute hit.
This place is seriously the best!! The people who work here might honestly be the nicest people in all of Toronto! They have become my friends and always remember my usual order. These guys work SO HARD to produce a product that is fresh, vibrant, consistent, and most important of all, delicious! As a Vegetarian I take the quality of my produce seriously and have never once had an issue with slimy or wilted greens or veg that is less than immaculate. I've told all my friends about here for good reason! They do catering too! Love love love this place! Try it out, you won't regret it!
Yesterday went for dinner with my wife, I like this spot as they have a room for prayers, there food is freshly prepared and the ambiance is good, the service is good, but I feel that the management need to add one more service provider on the shop floor so the things can move faster . The drink was good with lots of fruit and ice cream. The food is a bit pricy but enough in quantity 👍
In my opinion, this is the best salad/bowl place in the city! The ingredients are so fresh and the buddha bowl is my favourite! Not to mention the most delicious balsamic vinaigrette 🤤 that you can also purchase to take it home! I have ordered their catering services for our office multiple times and they never disappoint! Eva and her family are so kind and loving! Highly recommend this place!
The food is great. If it were served in more sustainable packaging (black plastic containers cannot be recycled), I would give it 5 stars (and eat here more often). There really is no excuse for using unsustainable containers these days, with so many options available.
They underpack the box so there’s not a lot of rice, protein, or sauce and it doesn’t even taste good compared to other locations. The portion sizes here are smaller then any other location and they barely put any sauce at all on it.
Excellent fresh food. Everything is ready for pickup in half an hour. We love butter chicken and nan bread of course, but there is so much more, from okra to spinach with cheese and various other dishes. Food is so tasty, it's like a party in your mouth. Well located on Merivale with convenient parking. Try it and I am sure you will go back for more.
I discovered this place only two months ago and since I have twice per week lunch here. They have a very good variety of salads and bowls. Everything is fresh and looks amazing. The place can get sometimes busy but if you wait a little you will not regret. The buisness is family operated and they put a lot of work, so please be kind and patient, they are really nice. I love the Cobb and the queen salad. The keto options are great too. Recently we tried a veggie wrap with Thai sauce,my husband was amazed by the flavour combinations. The mango smoothie remains my favourite.
Paramount in Brookfield place used to be amazing and I'm not sure what happened. The staff seem sleepy, unfriendly and every little thing is extra.. a scoop of hummus on a $14 small shawarma box should not be extra. The quality of the chicken has also gone down.. if you go anytime before Noon you're getting the crusty chicken from the day before.. it's never fresh. I'm putting Paramount in timeout from my lunch rotation.. do better.
Went to this location for the first time. The best Service I’ve seen in a long time. Friendly staff, extremely clean, and top of the line fish. Look no further. I will be definitely coming back. I’ve tried a different Fish Market and it’s not even a comparison. Thanks to the Lady who chose the best shrimp for us. Also the way they Cleaned out the fish was unreal ! Thanks Guys :)
I was charged $12.49 + tax for this small box - utterly disappointing. This was was supposed to shawarma chicken, it’s not even shredded like it. This is an absolute joke.
The best middle-eastern food in downtown Toronto, served by the most friendly staff.
My husband tried the same restaurant @ Dubai and was thrilled to find one here in Canada. He doesn’t take pork so it kinda worked out for us to slip into this place. It was a weekday, so there wasn’t any trouble getting a reservation. We called -in 30 mins ahead and managed to get a table.
Food ordered:
1. Mixed Grill (Main) served with 1 half of the plate of fries and other half plate of flavoured rice.
2. Veggie lovers.
3. Lentil soup.
4. Coke & Raspberry refresher.
Cost (for two):
$80~
Time taken for food to arrive (dine-in):
5-7 mins.
Food portions were pretty large and stomach-filling.

When I’m hungry and craving something healthy, I usually pick grilled food and one place I order from is Paramount. Well, ordering Uber eats from this location got me so mad. There’s no way I can blame the uber eats delivery person for the mess on this so called box.
Even if the Uber eats driver was on a roller coaster this dish wouldn’t be presented like the picture below. It looks like the restaurant staff just grabbed the items and dropped it anywhere on the box not caring about presentation. The kebab pieces was everywhere and cold as if they came from a warming drawer, The salad and other toppings was mixed in. I would not call it a box, it’s more like tossed salad. However had I ordered the kebab platter from the other location, it would have been nicely presented and I could see what I’m eating.

Awesome, Authentic Middle Eastern Food Everytime
—— Detailed Review Below ——-
Founded by Order of Canada recipient, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, Mohamad Fakih, in 2007 shortly after emigrating to Canada, Paramount Fine Foods is a homegrown, heartwarming Canadian success story, aside from being the source of the most authentic Middle Eastern food in Ontario.
Their lentil soup is great and their shawarma platters are amazing.
This outlet, close to the China Town area off Spadina in downtown Toronto, is good if you’re grabbing a bite on the go, or want to sit down for a quiet meal.

I accidentally found this place. I bought few different kinds of fish and every time it was very tasty, flavorful and fresh! I know, the prices are a bit higher than say from Costco, but the quality is way better, even in comparison to organic salmon from other stores. I'd rather pay $5 extra/pound than eat some frozen fish from other stores, full of water and tasteless. Great selection, great store. Thank you the owners!
I've not eaten in too many middle Eastern restraunts in Toronto but having lived most of my life there I can definately tell you that this is as close as it gets. We had their mixed combo and had a taste of everything. Their full portion sizes are perfect for a group of 4-5. A complete deja vu moment with their toom garlic paste,hummus and freshly baked pita
We were in Toronto for the weekend from Vancouver, and stopped by Paramount for a quick dinner on Yonge Street. The restaurant was busy but we were promptly seated. We had the Fattoush Salad: it was pretty good, but I would have enjoyed a little more radish and pomegranate arials. For the main course we had Chicken Shawarma; the Chicken Shawarma was beautifully seasoned, and perfectly cooked, served over a generous amt of rice. Pita was served as a starter and it was amazing! - soft, fluffy, and fresh. We ended making a Shawarma wrap with the pita, and it was yummy. Though we were full, our server Hussein was insistent we try a bite of Baklava, and some delicious Arabic coffee which was amazing. There was a hint of spice, perhaps Cardamom in the coffee, not sure?, but for this extra treat we were not charged!. Highly recommend this really terrific restaurant in Downtown Toronto right across from Eaton's Centre.
Good place for healthy soups(They serve salads as well). I had their chicken soup with rice- you can tell from that taste that the food is healthy. The people there are real friendly. I saw many take out orders being prepared while I was trying their soup. Seating for twos available.
Regular customer here, impressed by their nice food, central location, Halal options with affordable prices, including delicious kebabs, signature biryani, flavorful samosas, and a wide range of non-veg dishes. With good service, it's a must-try for food lovers! 🍽️👌 #Halal #Foodie

Delicious middle eastern cuisine having a good number of vegetarian options makes it a wonderful place to change your mood via taste buds. Hummus is evergreen option here and falafel tastes very good. All other veggie options were also equally good in taste and flavours. It’s never late to visit this place if you haven’t tried here.
I had the worst experience with Paramount today. I have tried another locations but this time it was the worst. The customer service was very poor . They were literally throwing things and food on the table. The food was cold and when we asked them they refried the food that was immersed in oil and burnt them. The potatoes were cold from inside
This pitiful excuse for a Halloumi skewer was a $10 add-on to my salad. This is price gouging at its finest.
Between your disgusting price increases, the way you almost always get something in my order wrong and the mediocre food and service. I’m done eating here.

While the food tasted good it was a lot spicy to middleeastern food and ive lived in the middleeast for a while.
The chicken shawarma was spicier to every shawarma i have had in my life. The same spice seems to have been used in the spicy potatoes. The salad was good but overall the portion was a lot less for the price. Even after asking for hamus the guy served me a teaspoon full. Ali baba seems like a better option

Love paramount and their authentic food. The shawarma plates are super delicious. Their Lamb Chops are easily the best I've had in a while.
The customer service at this location is exceptional and staff is very nice and accommodating.

This banquet is very professional and experienced in delivering luxurious and high end events. The staff was professional and well trained. Food was delicious and well served. Reasonable price. They have 2 large salons. I didn't see any weakness in their work. I would definitely take my next event there.
I brought some family to dine here after I had a great experience at the downtown location.
We were greeted warmly when we arrived, but the table next to us who got here 15 mins after us got served first. The waiter also never refilled our water or checked on us after we got out food.
Everything tasted great, but the tabbouleh salad we got was tiny for the price we paid. The beef and chicken shawarma plates were very dry.
Not sure if I would come back to this location.

I tried Paramount Lebanese Kitchen for the first time tonight and will most likely be the last time I eat here.
I ordered a normal size falafel plate and asked for hummus to be included. The serving of hummus is an actual joke (see the photo of a loonie for scale lol), they literally gave me 2 teaspoons of hummus. The fattoush salad barely has any pita chips and is overall lacking in flavour and freshness.
The falafel on the other hand is pretty good. That’s the only reason I’m giving 1 star.

The dishes ordered are marked as one of the favourites on the menu, so we choose their beef and chicken wrap.
Do not ask me precisely which one...because the menu I forgot. Just said this one and this one.
Their salad taste fresh, the fries were not oily at all (I think they oven-cooked the fries) and the wrap were not too salty nor oily. Delicious🤤.

This is probably some of the worst Indian take out I've ever had. The butter chicken was made barely spiced and runny. It was literally just a tomato sauce. The chicken pieces in it were over cooked and not in the sauce. They were huge dry and flavorless. The Naan is deep fried ....DEEP FRIED! The white rice was fine I guess but can't absorb any sauce. Just so poorly executed and a huge let down for almost 30$ for 2 people when we could just get pizza.
I tried the salad with spicy chicken shawarma on it. Also ordered the chicken shish kababs... regular and spicy both. It was pretty decent. Customer service was good. That being said, I wish it had a bit more size to their portion considering the money you pay. Also, they charged 50 cents for the hot sauce... something that other places would normally give in the price of meal without charging extra. Overall, a not bad experience and if I'm in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate going back.
I have to say that Youth Opportunities Unlimited is an incredible company because of how they give such fantastic guidance to the people that are going through the many programs that are offered at YOU. The people in the programs are given the opportunity to be able to turn their lives around and give them such hope and confidence in themselves.
If you’re planning to order from here, make sure you do it in person. I usually pickup takeout after yoga. Today we ordered lunch for delivery as we’re working. I was really surprised. The “chicken shawarma” is basically a mixture of flavoured bread crumbs with a few tiny slivers of chicken. The lettuce was definitely day old. I know it’s been tough to be in restaurants during the pandemic and even now but this is basically misleading people. I don’t have this issue when I pickup in person and I can see them add the chicken to the box. Very disappointed.
I was looking for sushi grade salmon to make a salmon crudo dish and this shop was the closest one to me. I've never served raw fish before so I was a little worried, but this salmon was absolutely delicious.
We spoke to a couple of the employees and everyone was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We also bought some salmon burgers and were surprised when one of the guys brought over another pack of burgers and added it to our bag, on the house.
They're a local business and the shop is small but they have a very nice variety of seafood and great customer service, I don't think I'll be going anywhere else for my seafood from now on.

Best fish monger in Mississauga. You can get fresh or frozen, small shop but full of great finds. The team is friendly and location is clean! I picked up some mussels and squid. Who needs to eat at a restaurant, when you have great suppliers! Definitely worth checking out. These people know where their fish is coming from, and you should too! Support local family businesses!
Highest quality fish out there! Always impressed with the service, price, variety and quality of seafood there is here. The owner is very knowledge and kind.
They have recently improved their crab cake recipe and it is divine. We had it with a delicious aioli and got a little crazy, making an eggs benedict on a delicious Waterfront Seafood Market crab cake!

Amazing bowls, customer service and quality of ingredients. This gem of a healthy eatery is tucked away in Kensington and definitely worth paying a visit to. The bowls we had were large and filling with a warm quinoa base. Shop owner and bowl maker were very friendly, super quick and efficient service. The place is quite small so it’s a hit-and-a-miss dining in but don’t let this deter you from checking this place out! Will not disappoint.
