The chilli chicken lunch special is what you need for a mid-week pickup for a comforting set of fried chilli chicken, and steamed rice with a side of hot and sour soup.

I’ve never had to do this, but I’m so dismayed with how the reviews here and on Uber Eats could be so misleading. Danforth Dragon was a huge disappointment. The General Tso chicken was unpalatable. Greasy, breaded, SOGGY, chicken with a nondescript sauce. The butter chicken was made with fatty cuts of what I think was chicken in an orange ketchup(?). The naan was not naan. It was stale pita and cool to the touch (even though wrapped in aluminum). When we realized that even the white rice was overcooked and unsalted we decided to call the restaurant. They were surprised and apologized that we didn’t like the food…what else could we expect them to say? We got our money back via Uber Eats. I had leftovers and my gf swallowed some white rice with some of the “ketchup butter chicken sauce” 🤢

One of the best meals I’ve had in ages. Menali has an extensive menu that I look forward to exploring. Today I started simple with chili chicken (medium heat), garlic rice and mountain hariyali momos. Every dish was a home run. The chili chicken was delicious and well spiced and the garlic rice was wonderful with bits of flavourful garlic mixed through. The momos were probably the highlight. Beautifully presented, they were delicious and came with two accompanying sauces (mild and very hot—both very good). My taste buds were dancing. The service was excellent and I enjoyed chatting with the friendly server who promised to recommend some delicious Indian dishes on my next visit. This family run business offers up incredible meals--I’ll be back again soon. A real gem on the Danforth.

We stopped by Menali a few weeks ago for a date night dinner on the weekend. The restaurant is well rated and has a good amount of variety in Indian (and Hakka) cuisine on the menu. The restaurant is a lovely space. There's plenty of seating here. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We ordered a variety of dishes. Starting with chilli fried Momos, which was not enjoyable as they seemed a bit overdone. Momos are generally light and fluffy. In this case, the outer crust was crisp but then the Momo as a whole was quite chewy. The 'chilli sauce' is quite flavourful and savoury, while a little on the salty side. Not a bad starter but I would avoid the fried version. For our mains we ordered tandoori shrimp, saffron rice and an eggplant curry. The shrimp were a miss. They were overcooked and chewy. The mint sauce however is quite good. The eggplant curry is a little on the sweeter side but we both enjoyed it. It's creamy, savoury and spiced nicely. Paired with rice or naan this was excellent. Lastly the naan and rice here are pretty good. Saffron pilav was good but again not worth the price imo. Overall, this is a pleasant restaurant for a nice meal but if you're looking for good Indian food, Menali might disappoint.

We entered hungry and left so full, so happy and well cared for! The meat and veggie platter is excellent, best prices food you can get in Toronto at this point. The special tea is very nice as well, hope we come back here soon!

This small restaurant is a hidden gem with fantastic food and a cozy atmosphere. Each dish is carefully crafted, bursting with fresh flavors, and the service is warm and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot for a delicious and memorable meal in a relaxed setting.

Life saving option for bengalis to eat out home like food with reasonable price. It's almost always crowded and noisy. Otherwise mostly good experience with some friendly servers.

The place is very nice Bangladeshi restaurant. Food was awesome - authentic Bangladeshi taste. Service was good. Environment was so soothing with nice Bangla songs.

Solid 4/5 Firstly. The owner is very friendly and extremely patient with me struggling through the menu. The Order - Beef and Broccoli - Honey Garlic Spare Ribs - General Tao Chicken - Crispy Beef - Chicken Fried Rice (Free when you spend $50) The Beef and Broccoli was almost the best I’ve ever had. The beef was very tender, broccoli had a nice bite, sauce was the perfect consistency and the ratios were perfect (no skimping on the protein). Unfortunately, the dish was too salty. I’m from the Caribbean, and we like well seasoned and salted dishes, but this peaked that threshold. The Honey Garlic Spare ribs. Cooked to perfection. I was expecting the typical chewy, fight to get it off the bone type of spare rib, but these spare ribs were tender, held their form… must be slow cooked and braised. Delicious. I don’t have anything negative to say. I’m not a fan of honey garlic, but this dish got smashed. The General Tao Chicken was what I expected. If I had one critique… maybe a bit more saucy, but that’s really subjective. The Crispy Beef was good, tender, sought after. It’s not Hakka, but I’m ordering it again and again. Ok. So all of these dishes are rich with flavour and you need a good foundation to balance your tastebuds. Fried rice is just adding more complexity, so I highly recommend getting a steamed rice. The fried rice was ok. It was free and we ate it all so not going to complain. I wouldn’t order it on its own. Adding this spot to the rotation, it’s So Good!

Best Chinese food in the city! Food is always fresh, delicious and always ready when I order. Customer service is amazing and so welcoming 10 out of 10 would recommend. Favourite dish is the general tso chicken

Fresh, tasty! Fast delivery. Very happy. Will order again ! Nothing was overly salty, loved everything I ordered. Beef Fried Rice and Cantonese Chow Mein. Prices are good, and the food portions are SO much, always have leftovers. The chicken balls have a good ratio of chicken to ball, lol! And I just love the box it comes in, reminds me of the movies. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I usually stick to one Chinese place at a time. And this is my go to right now.

Delivery was very fast and driver was pleasant. Sadly I tried this restaurant due to good reviews and found the food lacking. The egg rolls literally dripped with grease which surprised me. The beef and broccoli had old broccoli used so looked and tasted unappetizing. Very disappointed. Portions were normal. Upon looking at other reviews it seems hit or miss here.

Great portions at great prices. Really good fried chicken wings that came with the take out order after hitting the minimum. Everything was very tasty except the sweet and sour pork. It's my favorite dish, but it was very disappointing. Tasted like orange chicken which was weird, would not recommend this dish. Would recommend and come back to try other dishes.

all delicious friendly service They took care of my little girl and me incredibly, we will definitely return the plate is enough

I have to write this as I had enough. Needless to say I will never go back. My friend likes to buy a round or 2 for everyone and that’s fine. 1st bill, paid, 2nd bill was more than 1st bill and we know the 2nd bill should be smaller as there was no food on the 2nd bill and bought less for others. Fine. Calculation was wrong, so recalculated and apologizing would have been sufficient, but the owners wouldn’t admit it was wrong. So I went back to the 1st bill to double check as that had a machine printout to compare to the handwritten note. There was 2 extra beer charges, where did they come from? Adding the food, alcohol and then the taxes, did not match the total of what the machine said. Machine added $15 more to the bill so that’s more than 15% of the bill, but it doesn’t have a line item for this extra $15. If you want tips, you need to make it visible on the bill otherwise it’s cheating. Don’t tell other people that we didn’t give tips after we’ve left when it was added to the bill already. Don’t say you don’t know what the machine did, you own the business so you have to know if your machine is charging properly. Otherwise legal action can be taken against the business. Whoever wants to go for food, it’s still good food, but I wouldn’t stay in the restaurant. The women’s washroom is horrendous. Spider webs hanging down low at 3 corners of the washroom, had to avoid the webs to wash my hands, ceiling paint falling off, the whole washroom smelled of extreme mould, that has to be a health hazard. Spicy chicken with pork fried rice combo was good so that’s why I still gave 5 stars for the food, but will not visit again due to other problems.

I absolutely love Shirley's. The food is excellent and Annie is so sweet. I have to voice my disappointment in the last ladies' comments. They are totally unwarranted as I was there that night. Her friend did buy several rounds, boasting the whole time how "rich" he was but my friend and I were excluded. Not that I care, I don't know him from Adam and can more than enough afford to buy my own but just to say.. he was showboating for sure. Oddly enough, I also notice she didn't post the second bill.. which was by the way much less than the first. I know this because I saw it myself. This manl and "LADY' Charlene were totally in the wrong, did not pay attention to how much they were ordering and I find it so wrong that they are laying the blame for their oversight in the first place.

What a hidden gem!!! Store front located on Danforth Toronto and they make it fresh!! The quality is top notch perrrrfect!! The taste melts in your mouth deliciously, the presentation is eye catching!! Only 2 options, California maki or Salmon maki for a ridiculous BOGO super deal!!

Absolutely disgusting. Food arrived overcooked, cold and totally dry. Cheapest possible cuts of chicken and meat used... Cheapest tasteless condiments... Nasty frozen vegetable mix in fried rice. Terrible soggy spring rolls. Everything was bitter tasting. Chop suey was raw. Even the drinks were warm as these were carelessly thrown into a hot bag and then stapled shut with a million sharp staples that will make your fingers bleed while you're trying to open the bag...horrible experience have asked Uber for full refund. Worst Chinese food I've had.

Great service and atmosphere. 5 star. Competitive friendly pool players. Free pool, free music. Eat before you come, cause you may find yourself here for a while.

I should have checked reviews before ordering for delivery. This review is for Holy Chow food delivery. No idea why this listing changed it's name to the Rusty Nail Pub. They made a mistake on one dish. Pork instead beef. I called right away and was told I was mistaken. They could not see the dish. The meat was white. It was not beef. While they argued with me, my son refused to eat a chicken ball. I tried one and had to chew my way through the batter. It was really chewy. Other dishes were lower quality. I asked for a refund. They told me they would send someone over to pick up the food. Nobody arrived. We stopped eating the food, worried about the quality. I experienced stomach pain that night but thank goodness we did not eat more. Sent an email to head office. No response. $40 in food ended up in the compost. Order at your own risk.
