| - I recently had the immense pleasure of visiting the wonderful/beautiful "Chaihana Bar | Restaurant | Lounge" and enjoyed a very delicious, nutritious, hearty, and colorful Uzbek dinner, and will definitely keep coming again and again. I loved their comforting Kharcho as my appetizer, which consisted of succulent, boneless, and yummy chunks of lean beef, with walnuts, rice, and fresh herbs. It was an awesome powerhouse of sumptuous nutrition. Another delicious appetizer I enjoyed was their Kutabi with Meat, a soft patty containing tasty ground beef and fresh herbs. For my sumptuous main course, I savored their yummy, healthy, colorful, and hearty Plov, which was a generous serving of rice mixed with various all-natural and fresh ingredients (eg. chick peas, carrots, onions, garlic, etc.) and topped with succulent, boneless, and yummy chunks of lean beef. The wonderful Plov was served in a beautiful and ornamental bowl adorned with majestic art. Orders were taken by a very courteous, cheerful, efficient, and sweet young lady, who also brought the wonderful food right to my table, with a smile. All the staff members were very hospitable and efficient. The Uzbek culture is famous for its tremendous hospitality and generosity. Many yummy items to choose from. Large variety. Very high quality food in very generous portions at very good prices. No wonder the place was packed, with many dine-in patrons as well as take-out patrons. The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed. Majestic ambiance. The decor is magnificent, with beautiful Uzbek art adorning the walls and ceiling. Feels as if one is in a royal palace. Even the washroom was way nicer than the ones in 5-star hotels in the GTA. The dining area is immaculately clean and tidy. Plenty of tables. Two floors. All forms of payment accepted. Prime and convenient location in the Finch Ave W and Dufferin St area of Toronto. Within easy proximity of Highways 407, 401, and 400. Plenty of parking. Bus shelters/stops at doorstep for many local and express routes for TTC, YRT, and VIVA transit systems. Only 2 stops, about 10 minutes, to and from York University (Keele Campus) on board TTC's 196 Rocket Express, which travels along the York University Busway, a dedicated bus-only road. The starting point of this Busway is only about 500 metres north of the restaurant. Only 2.8KM from York University (Keele Campus), 2.6KM from Downsview Airport, and 5KM from Toronto's famous Yorkdale Shopping Centre. My sincere thanks to the wonderful staff of Chaihana for making my first visit a very enjoyable one and I look forward to continue dining at your great establishment on an ongoing basis. God Bless.
