Middle East Scoops
See All Lists
1. Djerba la Douce
Toronto, ON M4J 1N5
(416) 778-7870
Middle Eastern cuisine especially ones you find that serve Tea and secondly display Hookahs always makes me skip a heartbeat. Mainly it's because I slow down my pace from my daily routines and consume myself into the evening sunset culture where…More »
2. Nowshak Restaurant
It gets pretty QUIET in this Vaughan Mills Plaza for Sunday lunch and due to that fact, half of the restaurants in this strip do not open on Sunday. I guess it's Nowshak's lucky day because I chose them for lunch and we were the only table in this…More »
3. Hatam
Lady Yelper that FTR'd Hatam feels uncomfortable in Persian restaurants? Now you know how Dudes feel stepping inside Cosmetic stores, Yoga studios, Spas and Nail salons. I'm more adventurous nowadays, but years ago I keep 1km radius from those…More »
4. Kabob Express
To my surprise, I really enjoyed my MEAL here during my lunch break with a few others. I've always recognized this store front as EITHER the restaurant in-between Sunset Grill and Pho Mi 99 OR the place where a Korean restaurant used to exist.
It has…More »
5. Tagine Moroccan Restaurant - CLOSED
I've seen both Anthony Bourdain and Michael Smith on Foodnetwork do their stint in MOROCCO and I've got to say I'm jealous. My jealously calmed down a bit after visiting Tagine Moroccan but now it just means I know what I'm really missing out.
Drove…More »
6. Grill 4 U
Have you heard the Grill4U radio ad? I have, but that's not how I found this place. I heard it from a friend and that's why I went looking for a Shawarma place during lunch. I went in not knowing if it was this place, but through the window I saw…More »
7. Pomegranate Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 1T3
(416) 921-7557
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Persian/Iranian
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
UYE Authentic Persian! The SEQUEL! Not really, it was just me and my buddy doing some chilling and catching up but I still reserved on a Tuesday night anyways since I'm not taking any chances.
Arrive around 7:00pm the place was half full with…More »
8. Sheherzade Persian Grill And Dizi
Baghali Kubideh($5.95) which I originally thought of it as Hummus, maybe that is how non-Persians would compare to as it has the same consistency and color. This item uses Fava Bean rather than Chickpeas.
Kal Kabob($7.50) has typical flavours of…More »
9. Omid Restaurant
Scarborough, ON M1K 1N8
(416) 699-8328
Category:
Persian/Iranian
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
I wasn't aware that this neighbourhood had a Persian community so when I notice the sign Omid Restaurant Fine Persian in a sketchy Plaza, I peeked through the windows to notice a bare-bone restaurant with 1 guest this night with a finished plate.…More »
10. Heloo Goolub
Beware of Yelp Elites. They hunt in packs like HYENAS and take your Baby before you can even set your eyes on it. My Box of assorted Persian Pastries($19.99/kg) vanished from the Food-scale and all I was left with was the friendly Cashier ringing…More »
11. Super Khorak
In my attempt to learn Persian flavours I arrive to Khorak Grocery to complete my findings and research. My goal to conceptualize a Persian Fusion Dessert was complete but while I did my studies, I forgot one rule. Always start from the Market and…More »
12. Parsian Fine Food
Parsian Fine Food is north of Steeles for those in that Neighbourhood.
Square Footage is relatively smaller than south of Steeles counterparts.
Newer shop to those meant its more organized and visually pleasant.
The small real-estate means no oven for…More »
13. Awtash Cafe
Toronto, ON M5T
(416) 203-8008
Categories:
Persian/Iranian,
Fast Food
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Atmosphere is Dark & Sexy which made me stood out from the crowd as I'm neither Dark or Sexy. I'm the guy that is pissed because I got teased by fake Hookah that doesn't have Tobacco. It's like a Nicotine Patch or those Fake Cigarettes. Obviously…More »
14. Butler's Pantry
Toronto, ON M6R 2M8
(416) 537-7750
Categories:
Asian Fusion,
Indian
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
Inside I sat myself of course next to the Cake Fridge as I notice the single server working away. A Daughter/Mother team did the same while the waitress walked to the back. Another group walked in and went to the back, that's how I figured out the…More »
15. Me Va Me
Me Va Me Express occupies a corner spot and has almost a Pizza Pizza feel inside but with Mediterranean food. I took a brief while to decided on the Lamb Shish Kebob(Pita, $6.75) but the cashier asked me about 3 times what else I wanted, maybe a…More »
16. Marjane Cafe
Now I know where to get inspiration if I ever needed Moroccan theme Decor. The Furniture, Tea Pots and Tagines are part of the environment(for sale too). It's a good thing there's no Moroccan Dessert Heat for sale here as we were already overcooked…More »
17. Alhambra Mediterranean Fiesta
I took a trip to a far away land... Oakville, that's what people call it.
I decided I might as well go even farther away.... to the Mediterranean.
Alhambra Mediterranean Fiesta.
Now I know for certain my Friend has finicky needs for vibes.
She's been to…More »
18. Lebanese Bakery
Toronto, ON M1P

Categories:
Desserts,
Middle Eastern,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Lebanese Noob makes me a Le-Noob. LOL, I know what you thought I would put instead of Le-Noob but don't be cruel. I've been eye-ing this place for awhile and typical me that you know and love means I always pass by when they are closed. So after a…More »
19. Arz Bakery
Scarborough, ON M1R 2Y6
(416) 755-5084
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
I now understand why my Friend Sugar Overlord(Aka Sugar Overload... Aka Diabetes Waiting to Happen) gave this place 4 ***Stars***. The back end of this Grocery/Bakery store has an aesthetically pleasing selection of Cookies, Cakes and BAKLAVA.…More »
20. Damas Grill House & Juice Bar
Toronto, ON M1R 1H5
(647) 346-6424
Categories:
Mediterranean,
Thai,
Middle Eastern
As Steak Queen's days has ended, Damas Halal Grill House arises to take advantage of the corner location. A location that sees plenty of TTC riders pass by as well as Van Drivers stop by for a quick take-away before continuing their work-day.
Outside…More »
21. Bete Avon
True, I tend to send random Food suggestions to others. It takes a period of time before the blood flow settles back to her brain from too much Food crawling overdose-itis, then and only then will she realize why I send her a restaurant website for…More »

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
I have minimal experience of Egyptian cuisine.
My only encounter was an Egyptian Canadian Fusion....
MUMMY Dogs
Not sure what that is?
Ask the Pillsbury Doughboy.
Koshari($5.99) on the other hand wasn't Fusion but purebred Egyptian(?)
Appearance seems…More »
23. Royal Pastries Bakery
Scarborough, ON M1T 3J7
(416) 492-2424
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
I was snackish. I checked out ABC Euro Deli but came out empty handed.
Few steps away, a board-sign of Cookies and Coffee pulled me forward.
A Persian shop, think miniature-version of bigger shops along Yonge st.
Baklavas, Cookies, Cakes in the…More »
24. Shoom Shoom
First customers in as usual we were greeted by a BUS BOY as plenty of seating choices here. The booths next to the open kitchen? The tables next to the floor-to-ceiling glass watching retired people shop at Longos for bread? This whole plaza has that…More »
25. Walima Cafe
Walima Cafe has wonderful atmosphere for impressing someone that has little-to-no experience with Moroccan theme decor. It might not show the same out in the street with it's sketchy unknown neighbouring establishments but you can easily walk pass…More »

27. Ethiopian House Restaurant
I'm actually having some difficulty WRAPPING my head around what to rate this place. Wrapping my Vege Mash and Meat with Injera was a bit easier but I think both Eric L and I were a little hesitant to just dig in since we're both Ethiopian food…More »
28. Shomal North
Decided to give this place a GO simply because I like my prior Persian food experiences. Secondly, we were nearby this area doing a food crawl of sorts. Third, the reviews here have been fantastic. Good enough to give this place my time it…More »
