| - Food was good, the location is hard to find, the decor is nice and simple, and the employees are so nice.
Location :
In the first floor of a condo at Yonge and Clarke. You can't see it from the street and have to be going there specifically. You probably won't be accidentally wandering to it.
Getting there:
Just north of the chaos that is Yonge and Steeles. Crazy during rush hour but fine on the weekend. A teeny walk from the viva stop.
Parking situation:
An older condo in the suburbs? Lousy with parking spaces! Go on and drive.
Decor:
The space is really big. I've lived in the area so long I sometimes forget what it feels like not to have tables so close you are practically eating with your neighbours.
Tables and couple of booth/ bench chair hybrids. They have pillows. Good for groups.
There's no window coverings. We had started dinner in the glorious shade then we ended up sweating up a storm when the sun was setting. Not at all good. Dudes, get shades or something. You had 4 tables of sweating patrons.
Simple and a bit sparse would be a good description.
Menu:
Not as extensive as I thought. Good choices though. Not quite something for everyone but something for a lot of people.
Food:
Delicious. They do a great job.
You get a welcome shot of fermented yogurt. Yum
There were two of us and we ordered three items to share so we could try a lot. We got stuff in pitas, which I normally hate, but i really liked. We tried the chicken, the lamb, and a potato pita. They were all good. I thought the chicken would be my favourite, nope the potato was. The lamb was good. I'm not normally a big lamb lover, but it didn't taste too lamb like. woo.
The pitas come with a side of fries or a salad.
Ok, the fries - delicious Not enough on the plate for how wonderful they were. The salad was nice and fresh too.
What I thought
It's a nice place to bring someone for if you aren't very hungry but in the mood for something fresh and delicious.
Oh yeah - THE TIP IS INCLUDED IN THE COST, so no tipping please - yay.
