Absolutely the best place in Toronto, food wise or service wise. The chef is amazing and if you're fan of variety of middle-easten culinary specialists, this is absolutely not to be missed. Service is superb across the board, notably mentioning Ryan @Yonge, high professionalism with a genuine smile. Highly recommended, if it's not quite obvious 😂 .
