Yes Xtreme Taste rocks as one of the very few $7 dollars and under lunch spots in a spendy neighbourhood, but it's no holy grail. Don't expect to sit (there are barely any seats) or glean anything pleasing from the ambiance, because there simply is NO AMBIANCE here. Think of Extreme Taste as more like a middle eastern hot/ cold cafeteria style lunch take-out counter.
If you want the most of variety get here EARLY for lunch! Yes, yes the line-up is wickid, but if you wait til about 2-3 o'clock there is usually a scant selection of pretty much nothing left. Luckily the veggie option is always available for late lunchers like myself and if you don't mind double helpings of lentil salads or chickpeas with a languid/petrified spinach pie for lunch, then you're golden.
Because of the fact that most Yorkville lunch eateries like Freshii, Holt's Cafe and Pusi's literally gouge a chunk outta your life savings, Extreme Taste by default ends up looking like the champion of lunches, but there's nothing here that's life changing in terms of taste...in my opinion I find Salad House across the street is way more on the money.
