restaurant hopping TORONTO

I usualy go restaurant hopping like other day, having lunch at moxies, then dinner at Nirvana with a late night coffee at demetre’s…Been to like almost every desi , halal chinese , italian,thai, and greek restaurants.. out there around GTA area, and now i need something new to try. Any recommendations?

Currently on my list is to go check out some japanese restaurants..Anything particular i should try in japanese food?
After that, i am Probably indonesian restaurants.

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

Do you go alone? I haven't tried many because my schedules don't meet with most of my friends. When it does, everything is close :)

How is moxies? Planning to go for christmas lunch from work?
Try malasian. I don't like jap. food, so wouldn't even recommend anything. I am Sure you have tried most vietnamese resturants?

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

Peponi Grill....East african cusine.

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

Try Milestone's. Thats really good !

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

There is a African (halal) cusine on Islington / Derry. thats quite good and economical.

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

Have you tried Singapore Garden?

You haven't tried anything until you've tried Singapore Garden!!!

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

Ya its good. If you want a nicer enviroment to go with it - try bombay chopstix in Albion Mall (yes Halal).

Lin Garden (in scarbrough was good too). They opened a new one in semi-west GTA. Should be good.

Anyone tried Cleopetra? (Middle Eastern Buffet) 4165 Dixie road? I am suppose to go there but we went to HAVELI instead, since its tried and always good food

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

jal pari: thats up by victoria park and gordon rd? if so i been there…it was different taste..not bad!

diva: i’ve been to milestones..i like the atmosphere, and good selection of pasta’s …their THAI chicken wings are soooooo @#!#$ delicious! :yummy:

crescent: i’ve been to singapore garden also…its not bad, good selection of haka noodle dishes… but there are better haka chinese on islington and rexdale road called “faleys” really cheap and amazing taste!

salt and peper is sooo sh*Ty .never go there…the only thing i liked there was american chop suey

princesMS: I usualy go with whoever wants to go along(friends, family, work) …moxies is good, not bad, more of a bar/restaurant scene, good if u go with people from work! also, i tried bombay chopstix..krapy haka based curry food, but good haka noodle style dishes etc..i havent tried lin garden yet..i’ll keep that on my list. Cleopetra i heard alot about! i haven’t tried it…right across haveli there is this restaurant beside dixie grocer’s ..its really amazing! i heard they have the best breakfast in the city! i see line ups everytime i pass by it..gona try that 4 sure! :slight_smile:

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

Bamiyan (Afghani) is really delish!! It's in the Wynford Drive & Don Mills area.

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

mandarin sucks...no offence.

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

You guys are making me miss TO. And yes, Mandarin buffet sucks.

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

what about fredricks in scarborough? there's also chinese palace in woodbridge...

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

Soul of the Vine/Far Niente in Toronto, Bay Street/Commerce Court area … there are also “The Duke” restaurants (one attached to the Eaton Centre, TD Centre, First Canadian Place), and these are traditional British style pubs. The fish and chips and calamari caesar salad there are just divine though. :yummy: Milestones in Toronto is also good. I saw Keith Richards there once … he looks even older in person. For Italian, there is Joe Badali’s on Front Street which is pretty good. The Sultan’s Tent is another one on Front Street … only certain meats are halal though (I think only their lamb is halal), so be sure to ask them in advance.

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

My god so many halal restaurants !! :eek:

I dunno many halal places here, esp in the Bronx, :frowning:

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

Sara, the ones I mentioned aren't "halal" restaurants, but you can find plenty of vegetarian/fish dishes there to feast on.

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

Mehnaz: umm i been to milestones lots of times, they are actualy opening up one near heartland in sauga, so that should be interesting to check. One thing i noticed at milestone is that locations in other cities have different food etc… so its interesting to try new location sometimes. I will certainly check out the sultan’s tent, and the other ones u’ve mentioned. Joe Badali sounds interesting also, hows the atmosphere there? is it more of a bar/pub then a restaurant?

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

fredricks is gross…and you can’t be sure that it’s 100% halal.

Re: restaurant hopping TORONTO

Joe Badali’s is a proper sit-down restaurant and it’s quite nice. I have only been to the Milestone’s downtown, can’t comment on the ones in Mississauga. If you are into seafood/cajun food, there is Big Daddy’s Crabshack and Oyster Bar. I prefer their location in the theatre district on King Street, downtown, but the one in Mississauga is o.k. too. It’s a Mardi Gras themed restaurant.
