    Some of the best dishes I've had in Toronto and our server was super kind. There was a little bit of a wait to get the drinks and dishes but overall a great experience.

    Not much value for the food. Hummus portion can definitely be larger, chicken skewers should come with some accompaniments such as bread/side salad. It’s Mediterranean but it’s on the lines of fusion. Can definitely do more on the menu in terms of selection.

    I think it was alright. I hate when people recommend many dishes. They key is asking how hungry the party is and recommending 4 dishes for two individuals is a lot. I could not even enjoy the main course, it was a lot.

    Absolutely fantastic dining experience! From the highly attentive gentleman greeting you upon arrival and seating, he was constantly assisting the wait staff with realigning bar stools, pouring more wine and ensuring the meal an ambiance was superb. Then our waiter (Samy C) was above an beyond both in terms of service and personality. It was a delight to have a waiter that knew the perfect timing for food & drink attention, and the perfect timing for great banter an hospitality. We were very happy to have such an excellent evening at Azhar (being our first time there), and would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for the perfect evening of amazing food and fun

    We were very disappointed with the food and service. The Halloumi appetizer was the only saving grace. The wait staff didn't really check on whether we wanted water or wine refills. We definitely will not be going back.

    Honestly we had a wonderful time! The bar staff and servers, host & everyone was friendly & very accommodating. You can tell that everyone works as a team! We are all in the industry & felt that love. The food was really good. We Order most of the menu. Didn’t care to much for the hummus. But the halloumi had me at hello! And the asparagus , was doing something to my soul! Definitely coming back to try the dessert & lamb. I would say 8/10!

    The personel was nice but in 1 hour seating at the table we received only one small plate while we ordered four. The table next to us received all there plates 15 minutes after seating. We received our food 5 minutes after asking what was going on. Seemed like bad coordination. But enough to undermine the experience overall. The food was good but nothing special. Don’t expect actual middle eastern food and you shouldn’t be disappointed.

    We have eaten at Azhar many times and it has always been exceptional. Last night it was not. The restaurant was exceptionally loud with a very vocal and obnoxious group. We had to move our table but it still impacted our experience and that of the other diners. The food was also not up to standard. The dips were good and the salads fine but the mains were not served in an appealing way and lacked flavour. Very disappointing especially given the price. Sadly we won’t be back.

    Try the Haloumi - it was the priciest haloumi I have ever had, but it was bold and subtle and beautiful. My table went quiet eating it. Loved all the options for vegetarians.

    The food was tasty, but the service was poor. Our waiter was very unpleasant and rude. Although, there was another waiter that stopped by our table throughout the evening and was very attentive, I was still put off by how rude our initial waiter was, including throwing our receipt down on the table in front of us at the end of our meal. Due to the unpleasant experience with that waiter, I won't be returning.

    Overall ambience and service was great, but the food didn’t quite meet my hopes. The babaganoush was incredible, but the tabouli wasn’t balanced (too sweet and minty) and the oyster mushrooms and octopus were over cooked. Cocktails were good. I’d give it another try but wasn’t blown away by the food unfortunately.
