After reading many rave reviews of this restaurant, I convinced some friends to come with me for dinner. Overall I think Fat Pasha lived up to its hype, but I'm not sure if I would name it the best new restaurant in Toronto...
The good - the roasted cauliflower, fattoush, truffle hummus and falafel were all fantastic. They were not only flavourful, but they offered a wide variety of contrast in terms of texture and flavour.
The bad - unfortunately the ribeye for me was quite underwhelming as the quality of meat was extremely poor. The med-rare steak was difficult to cut and - as I feared - it was quite chewy. Also, while I would rather have underdone scallops than overdone scallops, I thought the seared scallops that we had were on the verge of being raw.
I would come again and probably go for the smaller plates over the larger ones as I seemed to enjoy the dishes under "Eat Something" far more than the larger meat plates.
