The only disappoint drunk woman in the lobby naked holding her underwear and a beer screaming and talking profanity, shocked my daughter and we start dining up the stairs to the restaurant, really was upset that my daughter had to witness that on her birthday!! Bad experience!!! But other that that 100 recommended

    Had a wonderful experience however will not go back as could not hear anyone sitting across from me talk. Way too noisy!! So lost the desire to return despite food and service being wonderful. What good is a dinner if you can’t converse with your friends.

    Food and service were amazing as always. Spencer, our server was always on point and really attentive. Music was a tad louder than we would have liked if you were looking for group conversation but a small price to pay in the greater scheme of things.

    We went on a Monday night and were surprised by how busy it was. Service was fabulous - the entire staff were attentive. Food was really amazing (meat falling off the bone, flavourful recipes) and well presented. We left with full bellies and contented smiles. We had a small table (2) which made it a bit challenging for sharing multiple dishes amongst the table light and our drink glasses. Of note it looked like there was a DJ booth so although the night of our visit the noise level was perfect for conversation that might not be the same experience on other nights. Would highly recommend and plan to return in the future.

    Ambiance was nice. Its a beautiful space. Service was good. Waited quite a while for our table with reservations. Food took a long time we had to cancel an order after waiting so long. The drinks took a while as well. The kofta kebab was dry and needed seasoning. Fries were stale and when we sent it back, the new one tasted old as well. Maybe it was a bad night.

    Great food & interior but it seemed as though the waitress was annoyed with my groups food restrictions as some people have allergies & intolerances so we had to swap some side dishes in our meals. Shawarma entree is actually a shawarma wrap but that isn’t specified on the menu - it should be for people with gluten allergies.

    A beautiful restaurant, food was great, staff was friendly. I was deeply offended and shocked that 90% of female staff UNIFORM included an extremely short skirt (in the middle of winter) Men wore pants. This clearly sexualized dress code is derogatory and sexist and I cannot believe a restaurant in Toronto in 2023 can get away with this human rights violation.

    One of my favourite restaurants. Great ambience, very warm and cozy but still elegant. Great service - the staff were lovely and very attentive. Food was excellent. We had the shared platter ($70) and the quality and amount of food you get is perfection. 10/10 would recommend.

    Awesome experience. Room is beautiful. Service was great - attentive but not intrusive. Allowed me to customize my order. Our party of five was very pleased with the entire experience. If half-stars were available, Amal is a solid 4.5. Close to perfect. The only drawback is it's a little on the pricey side.

    The environment was great and service good. Food was good but the French fries did not suit the quality of the food presented. They were from a frozen bag, unseasoned dry fries. I would recommend to the head chef to change this side dish. This is a high end restaurant in Yorkville...
