Istar Restaurant & Banquet

Very disappointing experience. I rarely leave negative reviews, but the customer service at iStar Restaurant was extremely poor. Staff were unorganized, inattentive, and showed little interest in helping customers. Simple requests were ignored, and the overall attitude made the experience uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Good food means nothing if the service doesn’t match. I hope management takes this seriously and improves how customers are treated, because right now it’s far below acceptable standards.

The goat curry had very good flavor in it and the goat came off the bone. Even if you don’t get it, ask for the gravy on your rice. The chicken saquur was flavorful and juicy. The veggie sides were amazing too. Ordering is a little confusing, but ask the servers behind the counter for help if you’re confused.

What a surprise we had finding this gem! A Somalian food joint which was amazing in the variety they offered. All freshly cooked and great service too. A lot of people do take outs but many dine in too . Quiet a lot of seating in the restaurant . You order first and then find a table. Portion sizes were big. I did see some people doing communal eating on the big portions. Very friendly staff and they also have a small variety of desserts if one has a sweet tooth. Lots of parking as it's a small strip mall

Been going here for years, hours are so nice it’s amazing when you need home cooked meals at late hours. Mashallah this is local and great for everyone who knows. My favourite is the wraps and ribs but so many things are delicious there

From Dinner Date to Toilet Fate Their shawarma motto should be ; “Come for the flavor, stay in the bathroom.” Last night me and my mom were sick all night. I’m a breastfeeding mom, and instead of bonding with my baby, I bonded with the toilet. 10/10 would NOT recommend

This is my 2nd time coming to this place as I am an “out of towner” and love the service and hospitality this restaurant offers. You’ll always find the best food at places you would never think of venturing to. Thanks.

Nice restaurant with East African food. They have large portion sizes of food, the meal was delicious and the ambience relaxed. They have samosas, chapati, mandazi, goat meat, beef, chicken etc. They also have delicious home made cake slices. The best part is that they are open 24 hours so if you’re travelling through late at night it may be worth a try.

I can’t recommend enough this place. Best value ever; food is great. We shared goat, pork and chicken options; meals include rice which for three people you can see how much that was. Service is also great; people are very friendly and helpful, when I asked for recommendations they actually gave us pretty good feedback on the different meals they offered. Mango juice tastes pretty good, very refreshing with this combination of flavors. Plus: they gave us three little wraps as a house gift. Everything for the best price we’ve found in Toronto. Definitely recommend to come here, I look forward to comeback.
