Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Toronto Zoo is a must-visit for animal lovers, being the largest zoo in Canada and home to over 5,000 animals from 500 different species. The expansive outdoor pavilions showcase creatures from around the globe, including those native to Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Europe. Visitors can also catch the engaging Wonders of Wildlife Show at the Waterside Theatre and cool off at Splash Island, a waterpark featuring slides and other aquatic attractions.
Toronto Zoo is an amazing destination for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking to spend a fun day outdoors. The zoo is huge and well-organized, with a wide variety of animals from around the world, including pandas, tigers, gorillas, and exotic birds. The exhibits are thoughtfully designed, providing naturalistic habitats that make it feel like you’re getting a real glimpse into the animals’ lives. There are plenty of walking trails, picnic areas, and educational displays that make the visit both enjoyable and informative. Seasonal events and interactive experiences, like feeding sessions or educational talks, add extra value to the visit. Plan to spend several hours exploring — comfortable shoes and water are a must! Toronto Zoo is a top-notch destination for a fun, educational, and memorable day in Toronto.

In Toronto, the Zoo is one of the most visited attractions for tourists and locals alike, as its focus on entertaining children and young adults means it's always bustling. If you're planning a visit, I recommend purchasing your tickets online in advance to avoid lines at the entrance. However, you can also try buying tickets at the door and get discounted tickets. The Zoo often hosts events at certain times of the year, such as this one for Halloween, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on their social media for more information on opening days. To get there, there's a shuttle service from Union Station and a bus that runs directly to the Zoo. If you're driving, they have private parking. For food, the park is very well-equipped, with plenty of snack bars, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and a Tim Hortons. However, you can bring your own food, as the park has picnic tables. The park has excellent facilities for visitors with disabilities, with paved streets without potholes, access ramps, staff support, and accessible restrooms. The park also has lockers, where you can rent and leave your belongings. Along with all the animal facilities, the zoo also has a splash pad that opens in spring and closes in the first weeks of fall, a zip line, a carousel, and souvenir shops. The tour is very cool, and everyone is sure to be delighted.

Toronto Zoo is a great place for families. Even though there is construction happening right now and a few animals are not available to see, it’s still absolutely worth visiting. The zoo is clean, spacious, and well organized. My son enjoyed the kids’ learning areas and interactive displays. Friendly staff, lots of walking paths, and plenty of spots to relax. A great outdoor experience for kids and adults — we’ll definitely visit again!
Thivakaran A — Google review
We got our family season pass and would come about once every one or two weeks. There would be a lot of people on the weekends and can get quite noisy. We prefer to go on weekdays. There are many animals in the zoo and my toddler love it. There are some animals who are alone and it would be great if they may have a companion for them so they would be less lonely. The staff are usually very friendly and helpful.
J W — Google review
Honestly, I love this place, but man, it is a workout. You absolutely need your most comfortable shoes because the zoo is massive and you will be walking all day. ​The enclosures are huge, which is great for the animals, but it does mean sometimes they’re hiding in the back and you can't see them. The polar bears were actually active this time though, which was super cool. It's a solid day trip, just be ready to be exhausted by the end
Andrew — Google review
Overall great place. The only reason I removed a star is because, although I understand many of the animals not being out because November is cold, in the canadian area there were supposed to be 6 animals out and we were only able to see 3 of them. That was definitely not worth the absurdly steep hill we had to climb on our way back. That was the only downside of the experience. Loved the place though.
O C — Google review
We were there in early November, I was surprised at how many animals we saw. In their winter housing situations and not available for public to view. I was impressed by the cost, it's very affordable for a family of four. And stayed at a local hotel with a pool. The kids already want to go back.
Jenn H — Google review
It is a fantastic place to visit with family and friends. We had a good time seeing all Fall colors and walking around. While animals in captivity is bad, it is still important to understand them and value their importance in our lives. They have so many different species of all kinds of animals. Some animals are always resting so you don't get to see them always. You have to pay $20 for the parking and the tickets are extra. They have plenty of parking though. Definitely recommend visiting once.

National park
Bird watching area
Hiking area
Rouge National Urban Park, located in Toronto, is Canada's first and only urban national park. Covering over 40 square kilometers of diverse landscapes including forests, wetlands, meadows, and farmland, the park offers more than 12 kilometers of hiking trails for visitors to explore. With over 1700 species of plants and wildlife calling this area home, it provides a unique opportunity to experience nature within a bustling city.
A sprawling, beautiful, massive national park that is the closest thing to wilderness you'll find within Toronto city limits. Out of the numerous times I've come here, I've managed to get lost in it twice, and it's been awesome. No better place in Toronto to get lost. Summer, autumn, winter, spring, it's never too crowded because it's so large. If you find where you are with too many people, it's easy to go somewhere where you might be the the only person around for miles. Truly an oasis.
Vee — Google review
Rouge National Park is a true natural oasis. The trails are well-maintained and cater to all fitness levels, making it easy to enjoy a hike or a leisurely walk. The scenic views, especially near the water, are breathtaking and provide a perfect backdrop for relaxation. It’s a great place to disconnect and recharge, whether you’re looking to exercise or simply enjoy nature. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat close to the city!
Blessed — Google review
Lots of beautiful trails, Vista & Mast are the popular trails. Fall season is the best time to visit. Do not expect many benches or seating in the trails. Bring your own water bottles as I did not see any drinking water provisions.
Nishant B — Google review
We did the mass trailhead trail. The parking lot was half full at 10:30am. We went at 1pm before and there was not one spot. So go in the morning. The parking lot closes at 9pm. Parking is free. The trail is a dirt path and it’s well marked. There was mosquitoes so wear bug spray. We went May 20. There was a few hills and some log steps -40 something. It’s not a suitable trail for bikes or strollers. I would definitely go back.
Sheila D — Google review
The park boasts with diverse landscape including lush forest, serene meadows, wetlands, Rouge River. I did two trail Vista & Mast trail that offers scenic views & natural beauty. You can enjoy bird watching, canoeing, fishing & picnic. Easy accessible with TTC, well-maintained facilities, big parking lot & washrooms available at spot. Exceptional outdoor experience even on hot sunny days.
Nirmohi P — Google review
Nice and scenic place within 30 minutes of Toronto. We primarily went for fishing and walking trails. Link to the lake is beautiful. Small area for fishing but there are opportunities to catch. But it gets crowded quick and then the lines are going crossing each other. We ended up moving to northern side of the rouge river and that worked out better. Beautiful hiking / walking trails.
Nadeem Q — Google review
Amazing park. Natural wilderness. Lots of parking space, paths are clean, natural,, no garbage around. Great for hiking, jogging, walking through the woods. Our favourite park. We always return. Every single year.
Inna K — Google review
This National park is close to Toronto Zoo area. It's quiet and nice area for a relaxing hike or bike ride without going too far out of the city; great place to get away from the city within the city. Truly lovely for a trek, so much wonder to see, Vista trail. Lovely natural habitat, lots of trails of all grades, close to public transit and zoo. Kids will love it too. There are hills and the ravine. Safe and peaceful park for all, Not to busy! Beautiful hike in the summer and there is a great hill for tobogganing in the winter. Definitely give it a visit!

Pacific Mall

Shopping mall
Shopping
Pacific Mall, situated in Markham, Ontario, is the largest Asian shopping mall in the Western World and a popular tourist destination. With over 300 independent Chinese retailers offering a wide range of products such as clothing, electronics, food, and traditional items like herbal medicine and ornaments. The interior of the mall is designed with red bricks, steel beams, and glass. It's not just a shopping trip; it offers a cultural experience with its diverse array of stores and mouthwatering Asian cuisine options.
Very interesting mall designed in the original Chinese versions of malls with plenty of small stores. The sales staff often stand by the entrances to greet passersby and to invite them in. Everyone is very polite here. The food sold here is quite good though I was expecting better pricing. There’s plenty of parking including an underground parkade. The bathrooms are a bit way out…or more appropriately, way under…in the P1 (parkade) level. Other than this awkward location, it’s quite a nice mall. Clean and interesting.
KH — Google review
It’s been so many years since I last visited Pacific Mall, and it was great to be back! We went during the Canada Day weekend, so as expected, it was super packed, especially the upstairs food court area – made it a bit hard to browse around. Parking can definitely be frustrating, but we got lucky and found a good spot by turning right instead of left – highly recommend trying that route! Most of the stores carry similar items, so if you know what you’re looking for, going in and out is totally doable. Don’t forget to bargain – it doesn’t hurt! Some vendors are really easygoing and will actually honour the price you ask for. There was a long line-up for the waffles and bubble tea upstairs, so I skipped it this time. But a big shoutout to the super clean washrooms downstairs – there’s always someone cleaning right after you’re done. Overall, it’s still a fun spot to check out, even just for the vibes and variety. Worth a visit if you’re in the area! 😛😛

Such a great mall to browse around! It feels like back to HK. If u want to buy sun glasses , optical or contact lens. Come here as over 15 different optical stores. Very competitive!

Came here to get my keys cut and she was very friendly with my questions. The mall has great food and somewhat decent prices at their stores. My rating goes to the overall mall but would give the key place a 5/5 for service and prices.
Diana — Google review
Came during the summer carnival — such a fun experience! There were lots of food stalls, a big crowd, and an awesome festive vibe all around. They even had dancing performances and a magic show, which made it even more lively. Great place to hang out with friends or family. Would definitely come again!
Samson N — Google review
It used to be Chinese people go to place for shopping, eating, family fun. But now it is 30% smaller because the City Square was dismantled, what a pity. But it is still a good fun place to go occasionally.
V L — Google review
Parking was avilable as long as you can walk further out. Finding a table to enjoy your food is a different story. If you buy be prepared to ask for takeout. You have to fight for a table to enjoy your meal. The booths in main floor mimic Chinese mall and owners seem eager for business by greeting you at the entrance. Mall has variety of shops to enjoy from. You would not be bore when you visit here. If they fix the food court issue it will be perfect.
LACH — Google review
Pacific Mall was quite a disappointing experience. The entrance is poorly designed—very inconvenient if you’re with a stroller. The only elevator access is through the basement parking, which was completely full, forcing us to park outside. From there, the doorways leading to the elevator were extremely narrow and difficult to navigate. Most of the shops are local vendors with limited variety and nothing that really stood out. Overall, the mall lacks proper infrastructure and quality retail options. Not a place I’d recommend for a comfortable shopping visit.

Shopping mall

Chinese plaza located along Kennedy Road close to highway 407. There's lots of places to eat here. Parking can be challenging as the outdoor parking lot is rather small, but they have 2 levels of underground parking which is nice during the winter. There's a large T&T supermarket which is their anchor store. 2nd floor has some smaller shops such as nail salons, cell phone repair, fast food, travel agents, etc. Worth checking out if you're in the area.
Allan C — Google review
Langham Square is one of Markham’s most unique plazas — a lively spot with a strong East Asian influence and a great mix of shops and restaurants. The T&T Supermarket is the main anchor and always busy, offering everything from fresh produce to hard-to-find Asian snacks. Food options are fantastic — Daimaru Shabu Shabu is a must-try for hot pot lovers, and Tiger Sugar serves up some of the best brown sugar bubble tea around. You’ll also find great places like Go For Tea, Congee Queen, and Green Grotto Café for casual eats and drinks. There are plenty of specialty stores, bakeries, and bubble tea spots tucked around every corner. Upstairs, the small shops sell everything from skincare and stationery to travel services and boutique fashion. There’s even a few medical clinics, salons, and educational centers, making it a one-stop community hub. Overall, Langham Square is a vibrant and convenient destination — especially for anyone who loves authentic East Asian food and shopping. Parking can be tight during peak hours, but it’s worth the visit.
Ajay S — Google review
it is a very convenient Plaza with the wide variety of stores. It is located on Kennedy South of Highway 7. there are lot of parking above ground and underground. I love going to the Langham square lunch, dinner, breakfast, bubble teas, desserts and/ or groceries. It is a very convenience Plaza that you can get everything here.
A. L — Google review
A neat plaza with food to tickle all Asian fancies. From amazing soups, bakeries and bubble tea, to getting new glasses and latest kitches. The plaza above ground parking can be a nightmare with drivers impatient to let you out, however there is plenty of underground parking with access via escalator or elevator to the main level. Accessible parking is marked, however includes curbs, no ramped areas, and doors that open where you were on the side. So not so accessible without bringing your loved one around the parking lot despite parking in front of the establishment.
Tee E — Google review
This plaza has more than 15 different types of restaurants for you to choose from. Most of them are good but just the parking is horrible. There is a TnT supermarket at the ground floor. At the second floor, there are many little shops from clothing to eat. I personally like the cake shop, their cakes are very well designed and cute.
Ken L — Google review
A welcome addition to the west side of South Unionville, some retail therapy to bring some life into urban sprawl. Not a lot of parking due to busy periods but the whole point of a neighbourhood mall is for neighbours to walk to it than drive anyway. The T&T anchor is likely the least busy T&T location anywhere in the GTA and is a delight to shop in. Lots of food and dessert choices too.

Sun's Kitchen is a restaurant located in the Pacific Malls second floor food court. They specialize in preparing fresh Chinese noodles live in front of your eyes, and they are definitely worth trying! The noodles are of great quality and the selection of dishes is good. The portions are also large, so you can really enjoy your meal.
It’s the classic spot. You have to eat the noodles here they’re so good. The quality of the noodles is amazing. Sometimes they pull it in front of you. I usually get the dumpling noodles. I’ve been eating from here since I was young, and it hasn’t changed; classic.

The Singapore noodles were amazing and a must try. The sad thing is I can't find this quality closer to me in the east end of the GTA!
Graham — Google review
Got the Thai style fried rice and unfortunately it’s one of the worst type of fried rice I’ve had ever. They used some kind of strange spice which had a bad after taste. I’ve never had bad fried rice and didn’t think it was possible to mess up such a basic dish. Don’t recommend fried rice at this place. Maybe the other food are better.
Ghalib Z — Google review
I don't go to Pacific Mall very often these days, especially to eat, but when I do, Sun's Kitchen is my go-to place. Their food is always freshly cooked and delicious, with generous portions and reasonable prices. This time, I had Beef with Bitter Melon and it was very tasty. My friend had the Sweet and Sour Pork Cutlet and that was really yummy, with a nice crispy texture. Both dishes were cooked to order, and delicious good! Check out Sun's Kitchen the next time you're at Pacific Mall in Markham!
Chris C — Google review
I went to this restaurant once and wasn’t very satisfied. The quality of the food was below average, and the portion size and price didn’t match well. The staff were very friendly, and although there is parking available, you have to look around to find a seat. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, not even to try once.

Kore chicken

4.7
(527)
$$$$affordable
Korean restaurant
Kore Chicken is a delightful hidden gem that specializes in Korean-style fried chicken, offering a quick-service experience that's perfect for those on the go. This charming eatery prides itself on air-fried chicken, ensuring each piece boasts an irresistibly crispy skin while remaining juicy inside. Diners can choose from classic options like Korean-seasoned chicken with either mild or spicy sauce, original fried chicken, or even a half-and-half mix to satisfy all cravings.
This hidden gem is my favourite fried chicken place. I’ve been coming here for about 2 years now and I’ve never had a bad experience. The food is so tasty and well prepared. The chicken is crispy, the sides (like the spicy butter fries) are good too. The people here are also super nice and friendly, highly recommend! Also if it’s your first time, you can park in the garage and there’s an entrance to this place right on P1
Nick D — Google review
Another one of those stay-light-before-the-movie meals, and we decided to check out Kore Chicken nearby. We went for the lunch special and tried Original, Soy Garlic, and Spicy Butter Chicken, with fries tossed in Honey Butter seasoning for one of the sets. I had no idea what to expect walking in, and was honestly surprised to learn they use air fryers here. Now, taste-wise, let's be real. I’ve had better fried chicken elsewhere and yes, there are spots that push a bit more in quality. But here's the catch: at this price point, it’s rather impossible to complain. Sure, the sauce toss was lazy, and a few bites were a bit on the funky-smelling side, but it all somehow landed within the range of “worth it.” Fries were a lot crispier than expected, and so was the batter. Air fried or not, the texture really surprised me. It’s weirdly satisfying. Getting into the place was also a bit awkward for a first-timer, but I’ll chalk that up to the building’s layout, not the restaurant’s fault. Overall, it’s one of those spots that feels like a random find, and turns out a lot better than you gave it credit for at first. No complaints here, and honestly hope they stick around. I wouldn’t mind coming back when craving something easy and affordable that still hits the spot!

Best Korean Fried Chicken I've had. There's a reason for the high reviews Easy to miss, not a big place but very clean. Friendly lady greeted us when we walked in. Smells amazing foot is amazing. Overall, amazing! Lunch time 12 for chicken fries and drink
Fabio — Google review
This hidden gem was so good, the lady was the sweetest and made me feel right at home, chicken was AIR fried to the have the perfect crunch and maintain the juiciness of the chicken. We got the honey butter and the Spicy Korean Specialty Sauce. No need for any more word this picture should tell you enough how good it was (so good forgot to take a before 😅) not to mention it’s halal for the Muslims :)
Atif K — Google review
This place definitely feels like an ‘if you know you know’ kind of place. Tucked in the lower parking garage of Langham Square, this fried chicken restaurant is unique in the fact that they use an air fryer for their fried chicken. Their chicken and fries are pretty good. The owners are really nice & their restaurant feels very homey & is very clean. The keep the outer door closed, so you have to enter through the parking garage entrance. They offer lunch specials & are also on ubereats for those who just need a quick pick up!
Sheena — Google review
Tried Kore for the first time because it said it air fried its chicken, but unfortunately it is a bit misleading because the chicken is deep fried first, and then air fried(confirmed by owner), so if you think it is a healthier option it isn’t completely. The owner is nice and honest at least, there is no deep frying equipment on site so the deep fried chicken might be frozen and air fried on order. I love Korean fried chicken but this one is too dry inside. It’s not terrible but doesn’t compare to the typical Korean fried chicken.

I tried the Korean seasoned chicken here and it was excellent — crisp on the outside, and packed with flavour on the inside. The space itself was also really nice — clean, bright, and comfortable, which made it a great place to sit down and enjoy the meal. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for good Korean fried chicken.

Italian restaurant
Il Postino is an upscale Italian restaurant located in a converted house with a front patio, offering authentic Italian cuisine, including housemade pastas. A popular dish is the Pappardelle Funghi. The restaurant provides a beautiful setting on Unionville Main Street, where diners can enjoy their meal while people-watching and experiencing warm hospitality from the staff.
II Postino is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with the perfect balance of elegance and coziness. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. The food is outstanding — every dish is fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The pasta is cooked to perfection, the sauces are rich but never heavy, and the portions are just right. Their wine selection pairs beautifully with the menu, and the desserts are the perfect way to end the meal. Whether you’re going for a casual night out, a family dinner, or a special occasion, II Postino delivers every single time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience!

We arrived 15 minutes ahead of our reservation, and our table was ready for us, which was appreciated. The service was remarkable—both warm and welcoming. Our food arrived in under 10 minutes after ordering, which was pleasantly surprising. We ordered the mushroom pasta, seafood pasta, and a Parma pizza, all of which were quite enjoyable. My only suggestion would be to serve the dishes at a slightly warmer temperature.

The specialty drinks that were on the menu for the night were phenomenal. The red wine we ordered with dinner was spectacular. The bread, the appetizers and then the meal were beyond delicious. Our entire table enjoyed dessert as well as after dinner lattes, cappuccinos and coffees as well. But really it was the feeling that we had while we were there. We were so incredibly well taken care of. It was the most enjoyable dining experience I’ve ever had in my life. I would highly recommend this beautiful restaurant in the picturesque area of Unionville to anyone! If I could give more than five stars I absolutely would!

The complimentary bread was freshly made in-house and tasted great. The outdoor patio had a lovely atmosphere, but the online reservation system only gave us the option to book standard or bar seating. I’d love to know how to reserve a table outside next time! The pasta and steak were both delicious — definitely recommended. The mushroom pizza was just okay. We also ordered the chocolate cake — the portion was huge, definitely enough for three people! It was a bit too sweet for us, and we couldn’t finish it.

Great experience at Il Postino! The service was so friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious! The restaurant is quite small, but very cozy and warm! It was the perfect vibe for a cold, rainy, fall evening. We ordered the mozzarella caprese, the Tagliatelle Ragu, and the Pappardelle Funghi. Our mozzarella caprese was served with the most crisp tomatoes, and went perfectly with the complimentary bread, and the pasta was hot and fresh! The food was delicious, and I will definitely be returning! We were running a little late for our reservation because we had trouble finding the parking lot, but the staff were very accommodating and seated us right away. 10/10 for the service alone!

We came for dinner. The restaurant was very nice. We love to sit at the patio, but it was quite a wait so we ended up sitting inside. Mushroom truffle pizza was so delicious. Love the steak too we asked for medium rare. We got medium rare. The chocolate double fudge cake was delicious too. The server are very friendly. We all enjoyed the food and service very much. I recommend this place.

We were having dinner while Main St was closed for renovations. We sat on the patio. We ordered 2 pizzas, 2 pastas and a salad. The pizzas and pastas were good. Salad was okay. Service was good. The main parking lot was too small and I had to park at a nearby library.

Really good spot for fresh pasta! Definitely worth to try the vodka rigatoni & truffle pasta - those were our fav dish. Also love the vibes of the restaurant too, super cozy setting!

Afghan restaurant
Bamiyan Kabob is a casual halal eatery offering traditional Afghan cuisine, including grilled lamb kebabs and wraps. The restaurant provides a warm atmosphere with authentic decor and music, creating an immersive experience. Located in a spacious plaza with ample parking, the venue offers plenty of seating for dine-in customers. The Choppan Kebab Dinner includes juicy and smoky meat, fresh salad, flavorful rice, and soft naan bread. Guests appreciate the generous portions and value for money.
Visited this restaurant and had a great experience. The place has ample seating, making it perfect for groups or a relaxed dine-in. I tried the chicken tikka and chicken kebab both were really perfect. The service was also impressively quick, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!

Bamiyan Kebob is a fantastic spot for authentic Afghan cuisine! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful decor that reflects Afghan culture, making it a great place for both casual and family dining. The service is friendly and efficient—staff members are welcoming and ensure you have a pleasant experience. Even during busy times, they manage to keep things running smoothly. The food is delicious! The kebabs are perfectly grilled, juicy, and full of flavor, while the rice is aromatic and complements the meal beautifully. The portions are generous, and the quality is consistently great. The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that wait times can sometimes be a bit long during peak hours. However, the food is definitely worth it! Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, Bamiyan Kebob is a solid choice for anyone craving flavorful Afghan food at a great price. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Eating there now and there was a BLADE in my mom's food. I know it must just be an accident but I am still very upset because the highest level of care is owed to customers. Very sad as I can't even count the number of times we've eaten here over the years. Safe to say that we won't be back again.

My family and I were visiting from the United States and were looking for a local restaurant that served real Afghan cuisine--and Bamiyan Kabob exceeded our expectations. Heads-up to fellow Americans: If you're visiting from the United States, bring Canadian cash! Credit and debit cards issued in the United States are not accepted here. Nonetheless, the staff was really helpful and attentive while explaining their payment procedure. They walked me through the alternatives with no haste or attitude, which made the experience even more inviting. I ordered the Sultani Plate, which included a skewer of tender koobideh and a perfectly grilled barg kabob. The meat was juicy, tasty, and beautifully grilled. The rice was buttery and fragrant, and the side salad provided a welcome fresh crunch. My wife and kids chose the Chicken Chapli Kabab Plate, and we were all impressed. The patties were juicy, seasoned just right, and went perfectly with the rice and naan. It's a terrific choice for both adults and children, as it's tasty but not overly spicy. We also got Mango Shakes and bottled water. The shakes were thick and creamy, with a tropical sweetness that complemented the savory foods well. A terrific way to calm down and finish the meal. Atmosphere-wise, the setting was clean, family-friendly, and busy--but service was efficient. You could tell this place is popular among locals, and for good reason. Whether you're a local or a guest, Bamiyan Kabob is a must-stop for anyone looking for hearty, tasty Afghan cuisine delivered with real friendliness. Just don't forget your Canadian dollars!

There is lots of parking, and this restaurant is wheelchair accessible. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very clean, and so was the washrooms. The food was very fresh and tasty. The kabobs were some of the best around, barbequed just right. The red sauce for dipping is super tasty too. This is a really good restaurant, I will be coming back.

This location is the best bamiyan location. Always fresh, good portion size and don’t charge you extra for sauce. Stay away from the Pickering and Vaughan locations

Great food good portions. The chicken could have been more spicy as the lady taking the order mentioned. The machine tea was okayish.
