| - Had the wonderful opportunity to dine here the other night with a friend and I must say, it's really nice to have a great facility in Scarborough. The place had a very casual and warm atmosphere. Servers were also very hospitable and you can tell that you genuinely love to work here. This of course includes our server Ahmad. Service alone receives 5/5 from me.
Piña Colada - If you like piña colada... and getting caught in the rain.. sorry, I couldn't help myself. But seriously, if you like piña colada, this is a must-have! It was a little bit more on the coconut side, but it was delicious. I was so torn as I didn't want to fill up on the beverage and I also personally don't usually have a cool drink during my meals or right after my meals. This time was an exception, though. I would've asked for a to-go cup if I didn't find that a little too embarrassing, though I wouldn't be surprised if they had catered to my request because their staff is that wonderful. 5/5
Raspberry Mojito - Another delicious beverage that you need to dry especially on a hot summer day/night. Was a little on the sweet side but it was very refreshing. 5/5
Mango Avocado Salad - If you've read my other reviews, you may have come across the fact that I despise cilantro. Truth be told, I did try my best to avoid the evil green when I tried this salad and the salad was very tasty and refreshing. Had a very light vinaigrette, however, I guess it was enough to give your tastebuds a little kick. 4.5/5
Black Ox Brisket Poutine - This can be found under there apps menu, but with its generous size, you can have this as a meal. I personally prefer my fries, especially if it's poutine, fresh cut. However, after seeing the amount of brisket, their cut was a very suitable choice (steakhouse fries). The gravy was absolutely delicious and when blended with their brisket sauce, it was even better. Oh and of course, they used cheese curds, which I always stress that is very important when making poutine. I do wish they added a little more poutine and it was a little more melted rather than having chunks of it. 5/5
[Meathead Platter] - Great platter for meatlovers. This platter can feed 3-4 people!
Buffalo Wings - Although the buffalo wings were pretty average, the sauce was nice. Size of the wings were also pretty decent. I'm pretty picky with my wings but I'd still consider ordering these again. 4/5
King Rib - When I saw this, I automatically thought of the Flintstones. This thing was huge! Meat was very tender, juicy and was nicely coated with their sauce. Some parts were a little too fatty for my liking but if you like to eat fat, then you'd be in heaven. 5/5
Top Sirloin Steak - I don't eat red meat much these days but when I do, it has to be perfect. And they always say that when you order your steak, order it a level below of what you normally would order as most places tend to overcook it. But when I order medium-rare, I expect it to be medium-rare as the chef/cook should know the difference. It really all depends on where you go and just by looking at this establishment, I had complete trust in the cook. The steak was PERFECTION. Mind you, I would prefer to have a little bit of blood underneath it but considering it's Halal, I very much respect their ways of preparation and it tasted just as good as any other. It was by far, the best steak I've had in a while, probably since my trip to Argentina which is steak capital of the world. 5/5
Fried Quarter Chicken - I love me some fried chicken and when I saw this platter, I immediately eyed the chicken. It was fried to a golden brown and the size of the quarter was gigantic! Now, I'm assuming that because of its size, it was fried a little longer than it normally would have because it was pretty dry. Though the outside was nicely crisp, it had no flavour. Either the chicken needs to be brined a little longer and/or it needs more seasoning. As excited as I was, I was a little disappointed with this one. 3/5
Pulled Brisket Baked Potato - I'm personally not a big baked potato fan so this was just pretty meh, to me. Perhaps if the shredded cheese was melted a little more and there was a little bit more garnishing on top, I would've enjoyed it more. If I were to choose between this and the poutine, it would be poutine all the way. 2/5
Garlic Mash - I also love me some mash potatoes and this one was also a little disappointing. Although he garlic butter was delicious, the potato itself was too starchy and gelatinous. Perhaps it was their choice of potato? Yellow or gold potatoes are the way to go when making mash. 2/5
Triple Chocolate Cheesecake - Fingers crossed, this will be on their menu permanently because it was just so good. It had more of a mousse texture and it wasn't overly rich. Must-have for chocolate lovers. 5/5
Crème brûlée - A little on the liquidy side but it was still very good. Caramel was perfectly torched so it wasn't bitter. 4/5
