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.

A friend of mine picked for us to have dinner at Darna in order to support a Palestinian business and for a “cultural” experience. However it’s unclear the ethnic background of the restaurant (menus and website say Middle Eastern and our host told us the chef is Syrian). The food was overall pretty good. We ordered the Warak Enab and Darna Sampler to share. I found the Warak Enab to be too soft for my liking but I think it’s still worth a try if you haven’t had anything like it before. For my main I ordered the Lamb Fukhara which was served out of a clay pot table side. The dish was really hearty and is nice on a cold day. I did find the lamb to be little tough but the flavours were still very good. I opted for both Bulgur and Rice which was a nice option. Our server was very attentive and patient with all of our questions. Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend checking out for yourself!

Came by for a treat after dinner and was not disappointed! They have a ton of flavours and options for those with dietary restrictions. I ended up ordering an affogato with Crème Caramel gelato and it was delicious. The espresso balanced the gelato well and made it an overall not too sweet dessert.

We found the song selection to be limiting.
The room was a nice size for 6 people but the benches were pretty uncomfortable. We booked the medium room for 2 hours but when we arrived we were asked if we wanted the room for an hour or two and with second thought we asked for the room for an hour and we were declined. We just thought it was odd we were asked if it was never an option. Keep in mind there’s a minimum spend of $20 per person on drinks on top of the room fee.

We came here around early October to go apple picking and had a blast! There’s a ton of activities and things to do on the farm. My group really enjoyed the tractor ride and petting zoo. They also have a good variety of apples to choose from. It was only $5 for admission which is a steal compared to some other farms in the GTA. There’s a ton of photo opportunities and this would be a fun place to bring kids for sure. If you don’t feel like picking they also have a market to buy produce and goods from.
