Located on Markham Rd, minutes away from Islamic Foundation stands SHOWTIME! Not sure why they opted to go with that name, but the place is rather nice inside and outside. With a small town Planet Hollywood feel, you'll walk in and realize it's anything but.
For those of you following the Halal restaurant scene this is old A la Crepe dessert location which closed down not so long ago.
We waited 40 minutes for a table and were finally seated in the back left corner adjacent to the exit.
my kids ordered the Jerk Sandwich, my wife a Grilled Chicken burger and myself a Beef Burger. I had a bite of everyone's and have to say I'm not overly impressed. Bland beef, dark deep fried Jerk that came out hard and over all missing that lack luster feel. Each meal was about $11. Kinda steep for a mediocre burger and fries.
A few observations: No paper towel in the bathroom, nobody asks which dressing you woudl like with the garden salad and when being seated - patrons have 0 clue they need to get up and order, rather than being waited on....who exactly am i tipping? Even the utensils are self serve...
Service at the counters was decent enough. They could have been a bit friendlier but were quite attentive. The prices are higher than normal, but definitely reasonable, especially for the ambiance of the place. There is parking in the strip mall. I'd recommend coming here with a small intimate group.
