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.

What was the damage per person? I was thinking of going to their family set menu on Sunday with a few friends in tow. @DrJohn reported a while back on a dinner visit which pushed me towards mamakas when friends visited.
My friend and I split these 3 dishes, and we each had a cocktail. It came to around $158 each, after tax, before tip, because the lobster spaghetti is market price.
The 4 course Sunday meal costs $95 before tax.
…
I prefer the food at Milos.
The space feels more corporate than Mamakas.
The service was professional.
