| - I have been here many times and also to their "express" location on bathurst and steeles (in the Kiva's plaza)
first, i read the reviews and I have to say ... if someone is complaining about chicken wings, this may be because you are not at the right place for chicken wings.. (i wouldn't go to a Chinese restaurant and order french fries, but that's just me)
their portions here are great and the entrees come with a nice green salad and a hearty side; i can never finish it alone, forget about getting an app too
I have been here for parties and just for lunch or dinner
I have had the chicken shish kebob (dark meat) and it was very juicy, flavourful and a large portion
have also tried the lamb chops which i enjoyed and found to be cooked just right without being undercooked
have also had the steak (the one with the bone); for around $18-20 you are getting a great peice of meat that is cooked well and has lots of flavour (the chef puts a tasty mix of garlic and herbs on it)
I have also had the lagman (a traditional Uzbeki soup); this is quite good and heartly and i have had the samsi (Uzbeki-type perogies with lamb inside), these are very tasty and taste homemade!
my family also likes the chebureki here (deep fried thin dough filled with ground chicken or veal)
i've even had the fish here (served sizzling and topped with garlic and lemon) and i don't even like fish!
the spreads are also good; i've had the hummus, babaganoush, mushrooms, grilled eggplant, etc and never been disappointed
they also serve pickled cabbage and pickles with each meal (i LOVE that pickled cabbage!)
(you can see i've tried many options here :D)
Their fries are REALLY tasty (they are not thin cut so u get a nice crisp outside but really soft inside) and the home potatoes are nice too (chunks of potatoes with garlic and herbs)
all in all, a very tasty place with lots of middle eastern options for a very fair price and quite sizeable portions (no, their chicken wings may not be amazing but this is not what you come to Yummy Grill for)
