Amal Toronto

Went here last winter with my brother and absolutely loved it. Went again more recently and must admit I was disappointed. Service is five star. I was told I should not order some items marked gluten free because they do not use a separate fryer. Ended up with hummus that was as thick as cement and a very cold undercooked eggplant salad. Not impressed. Consistency is key for return clients.

Gluten-Free Options: Yes Cross Contamination: medium risk Halal/ Kosher Options: Yea Vegan Option: yes but limited Vegetarian Options: Yes Nut Free Options: Yes First Impression: Beautiful design. Nothing like your typical Middle Eastern restaurant. Favourite: The Cuppacino and pudding rice were my favourite part of the entire meal. The cuppacino wasn’t too milky and the pudding surprisingly left me wanting more - FYI I am not a fan of regular rice pudding. Critiques: I have tried a wide variety of Middle Eastern food in my life and I was quite disappointed with the dishes. I found they lacked flavour. In addition, one of the plates had to be sent back multiple times because the meat was raw. Bonus: The service was really good. We were warmly welcomed and our serve was very accommodating. Take Away: With such great reviews and also many recommendations from friends I was really exited to try this spot but unfortunately left underwhelmed. Follow on tiktok: @eatwithbuns
