| - 4 stars for the food. 3 stars for the location (and 2 stars for parking). Another 3 stars for service.
I met up with friends here who highly recommended this little eatery at Victoria Park and Eglinton. The first problem is that this restaurant is located in a little old strip mall with very little parking. After making a hazardous left turn into the lot, I watched as a couple road ragers fought over parking spaces. As luck would have it, a space opened up in front of me, so I parked only to have another car roar over and its driver scream at me.
Nice preamble to lunch?
When I sat down, I was ignored by the owner/server for the first 15 minutes. I was starving, and wanted to order appetizers and a drink, but he seemed content looking after one side of the restaurant only.
But when my friends showed up, the owner welcomed them with open arms. He seemed very surprised when they sat with me. You could tell that the owner was thinking, "Oh damn, I shouldn't have ignored their friend!"
I ordered a lamb sandwich which was tasty, we shared a variety of Armenian appetizers.
Overall, the parking situation is enough to scare me away from a repeat visit, but maybe if we figured out an offhour, I'd come back. It's a shame because this restaurant has been around for years.
