2. Sababa Restaurant
I have been a regular Sababa goer since moving to Toronto a couple of years ago. It offers very genuine Middle Eastern food, well prepared and reasonably priced. The grilled chicken hearts are absolutely delicious, as is the Foul Medames that is…More »
3. Hanna's Restaurant
Four of us went there recently for a cheap and cheerful meal. It was delicious. This is a place where 1 main course will easily feed 2 hungry dinners. Add to that an appetizer or a salad and you have the making of a feast.
I started with an appetizer…More »

The best fallafels....made there, fried there, eaten there. It is a fast food small place at the east end of the Nasr Plaza. The same owners have a restaurant with the same name 3 doors down which is also awesome.

This is another great Lebanese-Middle Eastern store. Where Arz Bakery shines is in the baked goods. It is the only place in Toronto (probably not!), where Baba au Rhum are almost always available. They make beautiful pastries and their have a awesome…More »

One day we decided to make stuffed zucchini, Allepo style. We needed a tool to hollow out the zucchini all the way down to their base. There was no question as to where we would go....Nasr Foods.
After a bit of rummaging, we found the corer we needed…More »
8. Me Va Me
Just had dinner there last night. You indeed have to wait even on a Sunday night after 8 p.m.
After a round of Draft Stellas, the table ordered some hummos and a fallalel appetizer. We were served the main course salads with the appetizer. We all…More »
9. Marche Istanbul
Just took a Turkish friend of mine to this nice, clean well-run place. It is close to Yorkdale, and features almost exclusively Turkish imports. They claim that they have 'authentic' soujouk (my friend bought some), but the reviews are not in.
They…More »
10. Jerusalem Restaurant
This is the sister restaurant to the one on Eglinton. It features a Mediterranean Buffet. On Saturday nights it also features entertainment and belly dancing.
Firstly you have to bring an appetite. The food is rich plentiful and varied. The full range…More »
11. Restaurant Samiramiss
My son took me there, as it is literally across the street from his place. We flipped a coin as to whether to go Moroccan, or to go there.
We settled on a bunch of mezzes, as the sampling platter for 2 is a bit too small for 2 people...Maybe right for…More »
12. Yummy Grill Restaurant
Recently went there for a quick snack/lunch. It is a brightly decorated restaurant, located in a small suburban strip mall.
It features mediterranean cuisine, but is basically serving Israeli type middle eastern food. It curiously features a number of…More »

This is a new place which has an older branch in Mississauga. It is huge, attractive and very clean.
As you enter on your left there is a long counter where all the sides and appetizers are displayed in clear plastic containers. They also have a…More »
