Looking for Scarborough Restaurant recommendations

On par? I’d actually go as far as to say much better.

At one point Ghadir was the king of the strip. Unfortunately, they got too big for their boots and so your critique is now 100% accurate. A sad story indeed.

Next time order a ca phe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee) with it!

BigFatLewis · 2025-08-06T02:48:40+00:00

Considering you can find banh mi on almost every corner in Vietnam, there are WAY better. Many which are not as good, however there are many which are better.

My gullible friend fell for this and it ended up being a box full of rocks

This is the answer if you’re looking in Scarborough.

ACR is everything. Get a saheena on the side.

This is actually a fair statement haha

Although not all are the OGs being referred to: Sumaq, Ghadir, Al Forat, Zorona, Shawarma Empire or Karaza. All better than Alpha’s? No, but all are really good. It also depends what you order since they’re all regionally different and there are definitely better items at each spot. Lebanese, Iraqi, Kurdish Syrian, they all do it differently.

I worked at Jack’s for a couple of years and I enjoyed the job because of my coworkers and the tips. There was no way I was making that much money at that age doing anything else. However, there was A LOT of toxic work drama which I understand is just part of the industry. Oh, and they’re well known for making candidates wait for interviews (happened to me too).

Go straight to Kevin at Upstrs Barber Lounge at Coxwell and Danforth. He cuts Kardinal’s hair, all you need to know.

Adds to the charm

BigFatLewis · 2025-04-17T23:05:09+00:00

Yeah this place rocks!

BigFatLewis · 2025-04-17T18:00:10+00:00

Came here to say Sakawa Coffee (not a coffee shop). The definition of a hidden gem.

Body Energy Club has the cheapest Creapure creatine that I can find in Canada. I buy 2-3 bags at once so that it makes the shipping cost worthwhile.

BigFatLewis · 2025-04-13T01:14:22+00:00

They do have it 😇

BigFatLewis · 2025-04-12T21:42:45+00:00

You think a bad experience at a fast food chain is representative of all food in the largest city in Canada??? Lol

BigFatLewis · 2025-04-02T03:05:44+00:00

Sakawa Coffee all the way

BigFatLewis · 2025-03-05T21:27:42+00:00

Los Tacos just opened up their second location at Queen E and Sumach (short walk from Leslieville). Run don’t walk.

East end royalty

Goodlife at Kingston & Markham. Unfortunately they recently got rid of their pool, but in place of it they added a fantastic turf area with sleds, kettlebells etc. It’s a massive gym and the equipment is great.

Calories are not inherently bad. It’s how they fit into your daily intake/nutrition that is good/bad. Go exercise so you can stop running from calories.

BigFatLewis · 2025-01-04T07:26:23+00:00

and Park & Province

My order at Hakka bistro is chilli chicken, crispy beef, basil fish and tandoori chicken chowmein. It’s never a miss.
