| - I can't say enough good things about this place - it's so unique! Where else can you get North African food in a warm, comfortable setting in Toronto?
I love the fact that the place is chef/owner run - he makes all your food and yes, you might have to wait a bit longer than you would at a restaurant with a full fleeet of line cooks, it's well worth the wait!
I always get the Salad Grill Mushwa, which is actually a fragrant, delicious puree of vegetables topped with tuna, hard boiled egg, olives, and capers in a shower of parsley - it's so addictive! I've never had anything like it - the melding of the flavours and the chef's deft hand with the spicing is unbelievable.
We always get the merguese lamb platter - plump, merguese sausages served with a pile of sauteed vegetables and delicious fried potatoes in another addictive sauce - you'll literally want to lick your plate clean and you'll be chasing every last drop of sauce with the warm, fluffy pita bread provided.
I also love the trout with coriander - a generous portion of trout in a delicate, coriander-flavoured sauce also served with vegetables or couscous.
I find the mint tea overly sweet, but that's probably just a difference in taste.
The service is functional and warm and we're always made to feel welcome.
