| - We were looking for a place in Meadowvale, open past 8 on a Sunday with healthy options on the menu, Affy's Premium Grill was one of our only options. My parents live down the street and have for years and have never noticed this spot. It's located in an industrial park and was difficult to spot in the evening.
It does get very busy, so make sure to make reservations. The restaurant fills up very quickly.
Service was very polite and fast. The menu has options for a wide range of tastes, everything does tend to be seasoned on the spicier side (without any indication on the menu to this fact). There are no alcoholic options on the menu, this was not an issue for our group, but just so other yelpers know.
The hubs had a chicken ceasar - chicken looked dry but was actually moist and tender. The caesar dressing had a hint of spice in it which was unexpected but not unwelcome. Dad had filet of sole (fish and chips) with a baked potato. Breading was still a bit gummy/underdone in places but the flavor was there and the lemon cream sauce on it was rather good.
My StepMom had a chicken skillet with the sauce on the side. Sauce was a spicy thai sauce - chicken, veggies and basmati rice were all quite good, but the rice being directly against the skillet made it hot and dry in parts. I had the top sirloin, topped with shrimp without either of the sauces they offer (foos ateak stands alone, damnit). I usually need to add salt to my steak, this was not required. Cooked to perfection, tender and well seasoned.
Where things went amiss was at the end of the meal. We ordered coffee while deciding on dessert. When dessert came, coffee did not (without any explanation) server said they were brewing another pot. In the meantime, we ate the 'skillet apple cumble.' it was a piece of apple pie, on a piping hot fajita skillet with iced cream on top. We all burnt pur mouths and the iced cream was completely melted in short order. By the time we finished, still no sign of coffee. Apparently it didn't come out well, finally we stopped waiting and took off.
Tl;dr Good food (albeit spicy), good service, no alcohol, skip dessert.
