Came to visit right after the restaurant opened, skipped all the rush hours. The entire restaurant had a very homely atmosphere. Food was tasty and the portions were so great!! Food was amazing, we ordered guacamole to start and a veggie platter for two shared among the three of us and it was more than sufficient amount of food. The owner/server was so friendly and got everything very quick. Food was fresh and I would highly recommend anyone who wants to try authentic mexican food. It’s close to the subway and you will not be disappointed!

Food is excellent, but if they are busy, may be long wait for food. To avoid that, we usually get here by 6:30 pm. The chicken tamale very tasty. Sangria was okay. The meat platter for 2 very good, more than enough food. Friendly service, Thank you!

First off the location is easy to get to, being steps from Coxwell station and right on Danforth at street level. There's plenty of seating inside and the vibe is super colorful with many masks lining the walls. Price wise costs were higher than expected, but portions are very generous and dishes are heavy/filling. For example, at dinner, a meal for two combo was enough food for 3 people (we got the meat plate option). I liked that tons of fresh veggies/ salad was used for the tacos which tasted homemade and not greasy. The only qualm I had was with the beef being overcooked (dry and hard) for our beef tacos. Otherwise everything was great, flavourful and I'd come back!

El Sol is a great place to go to for authentic Mexican food on the Danforth. The food is pricey, but the portions are big. The staff are friendly, but the service can be slow when it's busy so ordering an appetizer is recommended. They only take cash/debit at this time.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food photos! This salad is a wonderful construction of flavours, textures and aromas. Arugula and potatoes make up the base, decorated with sesame and pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, pickled fennel, avocado and delicious slices of smoked salmon. All of it is finished with an addicting green goddess dressing that's tangy, creamy and herby.

Been three times and the food is always EXCELLENT. I'm pescatarian. I've had the arugula salad, the pan seared salmon and the gnocchi and all three were DELICIOUS.

Great atmosphere and delicious food! We love visiting for a quick bite or a nice dinner. The warm lentil salad is a nice light entree, but the ricotta gnocchi are too die for! So pillowy and indulgent! The fish and chips are also so great staple.

All of our food arrived at room temperature. The flavor was mediocre -what you would expect in a chain restaurant. The menu options are wanting. There was a constant mild vibration where we sat. It must be something in the basement. And when I sat down I recalled that I've had this experience in the past at this restaurant. You might get used to it for a while and forget and then after a while wonder why you're feeling agitated. The service was good. I won't be returning there again.

It was my first time here. A friend recommended us to try a cappuccino. I am not even a cappuccino drinker, but it tasted really good (just like how delicious it tastes in Asmara) ! We came kind of late and the woman working there was getting ready to shut down the coffee maker for the night, but still made us our drinks with a smile on her face, conversed, and made us feel comfortable. Excellent customer service!

Was only popping in because I was lost. Told myself it’s not bad. It’s (an Ethiopian place) have never felt more at home. People were kind, didn’t speak much English at all, but relaxing. Had a double vodka. Place was clean. Very nice and not down my throat only to help. Thank you!

Sala Modern Thai Kitchen was a gem to find! My friend and I were just looking for a place around that had vegan options and this place popped up. We made reservations, but when we got there at close to 8:00pm, the place was packed! They were very accommodating and asked if we would like to sit at the bar to wait. We just decided to stay there and eat because the atmosphere was just so lively and fun. The women serving us were so sweet and patient even though it was so busy. I had Pad Thai and my friend had the Pad Sew. Both were generous portions and delicious, but the coconut ice cream at the end was to die for! Even though we live in Barrie, we will definitely make a trip back to this place. I have already told all my friends about it!

We had the pleasure of dining at this beautiful tThai restaurant. Stunning decor with elements of Thailand. Clean and neat setting. The food was nothing short of amazing. All dishes are so good and flavorful, the presentation was impeccable. The portion sizes were generous, we all truly satisfied and content. The service not only attentive and professional, the staffs were also incredibly friendly and helpful. They check us out from time to time and to make sure we got everything right and with our satisfaction. Good food good price ! This place is a must-visit if you looking for great authentic Thai food~ We will be back !

After playing badminton, we came here and had an amazing experience! The food was authentic with generous portions, and the owner, who is from Thailand, was so incredibly warm and welcoming. We were celebrating a birthday, and she even surprised us with a special ice cream treat—such a thoughtful touch! No draft beer, but the great food and atmosphere made up for it. Highly recommend!

I loved not only the presentation but the authentic flavors. This is a vegan friendly restaurant and they serve halal meat too. The Khao Soi Beef Rib was magical. The meat was so tender and the sauce was so incredibly delicious. The king prawn dish absolutely blew me away. I honestly thought they were giant lobster tails. 😅 Every part of my experience here was perfection. A couple of us gathered for a birthday celebration and this restaurant did not disappoint;I will definitely visit again!

When I went to the Sala kitchen the other day, I was not pleased with the experience. The food tasted alright, but there were missing flavours. It could have been more flavoured with spices and herbs. There are not many options from a vegan point of view. They do state "vegan" in their menus. However, it does necessarily mean it is vegan. The service took very long. I guess it was busy that day. Overall, it could be better for the future. Not the best.

We ordered the platter that has most of the popular items. The chicken was pretty tasty. Four of us ate all of items on this family platter except for the beef stew(?) which did not taste bad but had a very unusual flavor that did not agree with our palate. The staple which is like a pancake with honeycomb patterns. These can be refilled if the ones on the platter rans out. Some say it looks like the beef stomach. Ordered cakes for dessert, one baklava (4/10) & carrot cake (7/10). Date: 2024-AUG-29 dinner time.

Fantastic introduction to African Cuisine! We had a blast! Our favourites were the ChaCha and Kitfo (recommended by the lovely waitress) - everything tasted good. Highly recommend the coffee ceremony.
R&A S - 2 weeks ago

Our first time trying Ethiopian food in Toronto. Everything was great. The server, Kebron, recommended her favourite dishes and we ordered those. Good portion sizes and food was delicious. We were too full to try it, but the coffee ceremony for 2 people looked very interesting. One thing to note is that they only take debit or cash as payment. Also, street parking was available right outside the restaurant.

This was our first experience with Ethiopian food, and boy, were we overdue! The depth of flavour in every part of that platter took me completely off guard; savoury, earthy, spicy, all complemented by the slightly-sour tasting injera bread which worked perfectly with every bite. The chicken legs were LITERALLY falling off the bone; that roast lamb... My God! How can meat be so soft AND crunchy at the same time?!?! Utensils? Pffft, born with 10 of them! Eating with my hands using that injera somehow made the food taste even better, which I don't understand how that could be, as the food was an absolute smash hit already! The ambiance and decor gave off a feeling of antiquity; one could feel the ancient culture permeating every aspect of the restaurant, from the murals on the walls, to the little bit of history lesson on the back of the menu, all the way down to the chairs and napkin holders. Oh, and the glossary at the front of the menu gave insight to all the varied spices, herbs, meats and vegetables comprising this fantastic cuisine. Cannot recommend enough, will 100% be back and make this my go-to Ethiopian spot!

Truly authentic experience, felt like I was transported to Ethiopia. Incense, fresh roasted coffee beans! Injera was soft and fluffy, vegetarian dish was so flavorful. Thank you so much! If there was one thing to improve it would be to increase the ventilation so you don't inhale all that smoke! Just worried about your health Lalibela staff.

Sora Restaurant is fantastic! The food was excellent—especially the kutfu, which I 100% recommend trying. Every bite was delicious. Our server, Messi was amazing! She was so kind, friendly, and attentive, making the experience even better.We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!

Great place. Had the platter with Beef strips. All tasted great and they even had Gluten free ingera (made from Teff flour). Not spicy, could have been a little more bit. The meat strips had great taste but were really not a good cut of meet. Tons of fat and tendons because some prices I couldn’t even tear apart. The coffee tastes good and it was strong. Overall good place. It’s small but cozy.

The food is a 10/10 Ethiopia dish expirience. Flavorful, well served and satisfying. The portions are good too. The interior could use a little work match the food and service.

Food is absolutely amazing. Some of us enjoyed the veggie combo, others the meat combo... And everyone raved about how good it was. The staff are friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Atmosphere was comfortable and cozy, not too loud to talk. I will definitely go back!
David Barentsen - a week ago

Good place to try Ethiopian food. Delicious and healthy with some spices. Very fresh injera( Ethiopian flat bread), different vegetables and meat sauce. Be prepared to eat meal with your hands, it’s quite very fan and tasty. Do not expect great service, they have to learn that. Will be pleasant to have better quality water glasses. Any place I go, specifically for food I expect to use a clean washroom, it tells me a lot about food business. In this case they should install fun or better ventilation. Otherwise, all the smell travels around eating area … 🥴 I’ve noticed many people take out food.

The service was attentive and efficient. I like the indoor-outdoor set up they have in the summer and the restaurant is warm and spacious. The food was very good. Everything we got was vegetarian and they have a fair amount of vegan options. Their wine options are very limited, though and the wines are of poor quality. I ordered a martini and while what they brought me was drinkable, it barely resembled what I have to come expect a martini to taste like.

First time here and I loved this Ethiopian restaurant. We ordered a large plate to try everything. All of it was delicious but my favorite was the tibs - it was super tender and flavorful, not dry at all. Highly recommend!

This delicious gem is a must try on The Danforth for Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. We enjoyed the Rendez-Vous Meat Combination plate/platter with a gluten free injera. It was absolutely delicious with nice spice if you like alittle heat. It was nice to also eat with your hands. The customer service was good; our server took the time to explain the options that we didn't understand. I look forward to our next visit to this restaurant!!!!

Had a great time at the Wren. We made a special trip to the Danforth just to visit the Wren based on positive reviews online. The karaage chicken, burger, and drinks were delicious. Service was great, and prices were very reasonable. Would definitely visit again.

Really tasty food. Nice atmosphere. The large table is a bit tricky to get in and out of but that's the reality of a large group at a smaller place. Friendly staff and good service. I didn't get to try the beer since I was DD but I hope to get the chance to return and try it. The brisket sandwich was delicious. Although my friend's steak was presented a bit messier than it could've been but she loved the taste regardless.

An AWESOME restaurant with a very solid burger, atmosphere, and top notch service. Went here on a Friday night date and ordered the Monday I'm in Love Burger ($23), a brisket sandwich ($21), and some drinks. The menu and drinks change quite often, so they won't be the same each week! The burger was absolutely phenomenal, with a good ratio of ingredients and toppings. Nothing felt too overpowering and the burger itself was very flavorful. My girlfriend's sandwich was also very tasty, with tender brisket that melted in your mouth. Admittedly, the fries were not so great as they were quite overcooked. I was asked about the quality of the food and although I didn't want to be a Karen about it, I told them about the fries. The staff was extremely understanding and apologetic for this and decided to give me a beer on the house! Overall, some fantastic staff and service, lively atmosphere, and delicious main entrees. Please come here and give this place a try!

Great burger and beer selection, but be prepared for a wait! I had a pretty good burger here and really enjoyed their wide variety of beers. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Just be aware that I waited for a bit more than 30 minutes on a Friday night. Still worth checking out, especially if you're not in a rush!
Evan Lee - 6 months ago

I've honestly gone to The Wren so many times I can't count. At this point it's the restaurant I've visited the most times in Toronto. The food is always amazing, never had a single mediocre dish let alone a bad one. They have daily specials which are always fun and tasty and a nice switch up. Fantastic craft beer selection. Very nice staff. Portions always great, price always on point. I have nothing bad to say about the Wren and only high praise. Definitely check it out, or don't, so that I can still find a spot every time I stop by.

For me, Habesha (Ethiopian, Eritrean) food is comfort food (par excellence). It never fails to bring joy in happiness or consolation in sadness. Such was the case with Wazema Ethiopian Restaurant. From the first moment, I was greeted with joy by the waitress Kal. She took the time to review the menu together and took the initiative to make a few adjustments to the Wazema Platter to accommodate my tastes in meat and vegetables. Seeing my interest in Ethiopian art & music, Kal explained the meaning behind the various works of art on the walls (especially the stunning stained glass-like works of Afewerk Tekle - አፈወርቅ ተክሌ). The food itself was prepared to perfection. The meat was well-seasoned, tender, wonderful texture; the vegetables were subtle and delicate. The injera, itself, struck a wonderful balance - neither too sour, nor bland - just right. At the end of the meal, Kal further spoke about the beauty of Ethiopia: Axum, Lalibela, Gondar, Ras Dashen. My 2 hours at Wazema Ethiopian Restaurant were a taste of paradise. May God grant that I return, and that everyone may go to discover this treasure. Thank you Kal, thank you wait staff, thank you chefs - አመሰግናለሁ

Wazema is one of my favorite places for Ethipian food on the Danforth. Great service. I always go for the Wazema platter- my partner and I got ambitious ordering a plate ‘for 3’ (we could have definitely just done ‘for 2’) but it was delicious nontheless. We went on a weekday evening but it’s also a fun spot to hangout come night time, it has a club-type vibe with live music on some nights. The reason I gave 4/5 for atmosphere is the restaurant is quite dim, and when I was there, there was some sort of smoke in the air, as though there was heavy incense burning (it eventually dissipated). This didn’t take away from the overall experience.

First time trying Eriterian/ Ethiopian food and it was pretty yummy. The restaurant itself though was extremely dark and loud which made it hard to interact with my friends and see the food i was eating. The food was tasty and flavoured well.
Rishanth Jeevakumar - 6 months ago

Great place to try Ethiopian food for the first time! My personal favourites were the Cha Cha Tibs and Doro Wat. Their menu has a ton of variety and everything tasted great. Be aware that this spot turns into a club/lounge after 10pm and you can only be seated if you purchase bottle service. Going forward I’d definitely come earlier in the day since the music was a little too loud and the lights were too dim for me to fully enjoy the food. I’d also recommend keeping your group 4-5 people as it gets difficult to share off one plate passed that.
