“ I had never had Algerian food before and was told this was the best place to try it. Walking into a beautiful cozy and home feeling restaurant, felt comforting. service was fast and great. We got the zviti which sits in a cool long wooden holder in the table. It was delicious!! Mild spice was a good mild. The m’fawar beef shank was so soft and well done, and the chachoucha was so good. The borek probably the best sort of spring roll I’ve had. They also had this yummy triangle pastry dessert I think called samsa. The tea is free and perfectly sweet and a good ending to a yummy filling meal. I would come back and order again for sure mashallah it was amazing ”
“ We come straight from Toronto, I am currently pregnant and I was starving for Algerian chakhchokha and zviti It was like a trip to Algeria , everything was so delicious very generous portions with a lot of spices I highly recommend, the ambiance and the customer service were amazing ”
“ I highly recommend this restaurant. I came in today Thursday Oct26, 2023. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. This restaurant exceeded my expectations. This is an Algerian family-owned restaurant, specializing in Algerian cuisine. It is well decorated and cozy. We feel as if we are at someone’s home. Today I had 2 dishes: 1. One called Zviti: Algerian bread called Kesra (made of Semolina, olive oil), tomatoes, olive oil, cilantro 2. Mfewar: Beef Shank steamed Then for desert I had their delicious Mint TeaI also and a dessert called Samsa (a triangle shaped pastry filled with almonds) I could tell the Samsa was homemade. The Chef is the wife of the owner. I spoke to her and found out she makes all the dishes herself. ”
“ I visited the restaurant with my boys. The food was great. We ordered shorba (most favorite), bourek, meat couscous, chicken shakhshoukha (photo below), Kesra, noddles for the kids, fries and tried some drinks. We haven’t tried the zviti nor the matlou3. We were so full that we didn’t have enough space for the tea. Overall I highly recommend this place. I would have loved more sweet variety if possible, and a functional children menu, maybe Mhajeb would have been a great addition, but otherwise all was perfect and tasty. Great atmosphere. Go eat there or deliver via UberEat (which I also did) and Thank me later :) ”
