these guys are clearly into the food and not people! a mystery why they opened a restaurant. it's great if you just go in, get a takeout sandwich and do NOT ask for anything other than what they serve, exactly as described on their menu. the idea that the "customer" is always right - is completely foreign here. lower your expectations about a "dining" experience and enjoy their food. most of it is very good.

btw -you can Frontera hot sauce in other spots - i.e. Summerhill Market, Pusateris
and avoid the drive to Cheese Boutique
I work near Paul and Sandy's - it is unbelievably good food. try the brisket also - its sumptuous!!!

Avli - hands down. try their grilled octopus with skordalia - tender, charred and delicous with balsamic galze. Rabbit pie, gigantes beans - wow
it's a cut above the regular fare on the Danforth. fabulous service

the best coconut icecream is at Gregs...add their hot fudge sauce - the BEST thing anywhere and you'll be happy to pay for parking

No --- and when I asked if they were, the owners explained that homemade batter would mess up the fryer. What a shame! Homemade onion rings are glorious and well worth a trip to Etobicoke and some messy oil.
