from Simit-Chi on Bloor in the Annex:
anise ring cookies on the left, cinnamon walnut cookies in the middle, tahini cookies on the right.
Today’s delivery was from Mayrik and fared a lot better than the promo items from before. Had the combo for 3-4 ppl. Added a couple of hummus as well. Decent amount of food and had non fillers a salad on side and couple of dips
At the edge of Little India, Döner Palace was easy for us to pass by as we headed towards some of our favourites in the neighborhood. So last night, we finally tried it, albeit just a mixed vegetable pide. The verdict: pretty good. The dough had a nice flavour, a bit thinner than the version we are used at Pizza Pide. The veggies were a nice mix of peppers, tomatoes, and spinach. And the accompaniments included pickled hot peppers, tomato slices, raw onion, pickled cucumbers, tasty hummus, and a pleasant yoghurt-based sauce. We would like to go back to try the lahmacun pide, the kebabs, or the döner itself.
Technically Persian food had a delivery from Shattar Abbas. Good stuff and worth the price premium imo. Jujeh and chicken kobideh are quite good. Not in pic Kashk Bademjan. Hmmm didn’t enjoy that
Had a delivery from Parkway restaurant for Jojeh. Decent stuff and they give a bit of sumac packs to spice up the otherwise bland taste profile that’s expected of this dish. While it’s not to the level of refinement of Shattar Abbas it will do just fine imo at this price point
Today’s lunch was at Milos.
Here is the play by play
A solid lunch offering for what you pay here.
Toronto location is stunning imo with an amazing open feel that’s hard to replicate. Service was decent as well though we should have asked for the 1 hour lunch as our second course lagged a bit. Octopus starter is immaculate as ever. Grilled fish is fresh and delicate. Done very well again. At this price point it’s a great value proposition so give them a try. Solid 4 stars.
I think I’ll be returning to Sarajevo Grill in Etobicoke this weekend. I really enjoyed their cevap and burek on a previous visit.
It’s a Bosnian-run establishment with a grill, a hot table, and some groceries. There are some tables with seating, as well.
Adding links for various businesses serving Balkan food in Etobicoke for reference.
in Mississauga
Beyond the GTA, Marco’s Bakery is a Macedonian Bakery in Burlington, ON, that sells burek.
