Mixed on food quality. Very undersupplied turkey pastrami in my sandwich last visit, but decent at the visit before it.
I want to love the place because they have the Shana salad, which I love! But unless the young man that takes order at the counter isn’t there, they mess up the order. My salad was missing ingredients and they only gave me one container of dressing for a huge salad when normally they provide two. The corn elote in a cup was just that, corn in a cup. It did not have Parmesan, Mayo or butter.
I ordered a carne asada kn Uber Eats at this place and this would be the second time they did not include salsa with the food. The best part of mexican food is the salsa how do you keep forgetting it. Absolutely unacceptable for it to happen twice.
I have heard a lot of good things about this place but my steak and eggs breakfast was not good. Meat was very seasoned , way too much to the point where it was not tasty. I left half of it. I'll be back to try other dishes just because many people have said good things about this place and they can't be that wrong, can they? The staff was friendly .
Halfway through my matzo ball soup, I saw a hair floating near the surface. I went to pull it out but as I kept pulling, a clump of hair was revealed, not just the one hair. When I called in, they gave me the option of getting a new soup or taking a credit. I wanted a refund, but they claimed that “the system wouldn’t let them.” Neither option works for me - I certainly don’t want more of the soup and I don’t see myself going back there after this experience.
Absolutely great restaurant!! Fast and friendly service. Tons of options off the menu and everything looks, smells, and tastes incredible 😋 definitely would recommend for breakfast lunch or dinner 🍽️
It's a solid little place right off Dundee road. Honestly kind of surprised I had not been here before, but today was the second time we had come in for some breakfast.
Today we got some bagels and a couple sandwiches and so far everything we have tried has tasted very good. The service was good a little on the slow side, but nothing terrible all things considered. We have yet to try lunch, but I would expect that to change in the coming weeks. If that is solid they could easily be a 5 star so we'll see in a few weeks.

I have been eating here my whole life. Every time the food is great, and the staff is very friendly! Last night I finally decided to try the Mexican food. We tried the carne asada a la mexicana and the chicken fajitas. Both were DELICIOUS!!!! The beans were a little too salty for me, and I do wish the fajitas came with guacamole, sour cream, and pico, but overall I was very impressed! My dad had a garden omelette and corned beef hash and LOVED both! I also recommend the veggie skins... Scooped out toasted bagel with grilled veggies, melted cheese and served with salsa - SO GOOD!!!
