I came here for dinner a few days ago.

We got the fish pakora as a starter. It was very spicy for me (I can't take heat) but it wasn't spicy at all for the rest of my family. It came with a sweet sauce (perhaps plum sauce?) so the heat was bearable.…More »

I came here because I got a coupon for a free milkshake. I don't remember which flavour I got. However, I do remember the prices being reasonable (to be honest, I find buying ice cream is expensive in general).

This Cafe Mirage is not new and pretty like their Yonge and Sheppard one but it's still a nice place to go to for dessert uptown.

I've ordered many things off their menu and I'm never disappointed (okay, except maybe once). The portion is decent, the…More »

This is the Chinese restaurant I go to when I want good food for a good price. My favourite thing here is the peking duck. The pancake may not be the thinnest but it's still delicious. You can get the peking duck for $8.88 if you spend $20 there…More »

Before this restaurant, my only other experience with this type of cuisine is at Lin Garden Restaurant and I loved the food there so Federick had a lot to live up to. Unfortunately, Federick did not live up to my expectations.
