Sizzling Grill

For a small diner, the food is surprisingly good!
My favourites include the chicken shawarma wrap, Greek salad, and fish and chips. They do have daily sandwich specials, however I haven’t tried them yet. The owner is always friendly and efficient.
Most importantly– the food is inexpensive, delicious and the portions generous. I’m so glad I discovered this place– it’s easy to pass by it without a second thought. It’s my go-​to when I don’t have the energy to make supper but want a cheap and comforting meal.

Sizzling grill is really popular in the parkdale area and also has good food but it isn’t that great. I go there at least three times a month only because it’s a fun place to hang out. Most people just bring pizza from 241 and buy a drink from sizzling so they have a place where they can sit inside. This place used to be really good however the prices kept raising and the tax you have to pay is astonishing. Also it’s not that sanitary since the doors are open if you’re unlucky you can spot a cockroach.

After almost four years living a few blocks north, I finally tried this place!
Interior is hot, noisy din filled with shouting (friendly, productive shouting) and delicious food! They always have specials and everything is prepared right in front of you. I think they’re open nonstop too.

This is the sizzling grill, the corner food place people know you’ll be eating late night when other places’ kitchens are closed. Sure this isn’t a 5 star shawarma palace, but it’s a charming-​in-​its-​own-​way hybrid of an american diner with your classic middle eastern menu. It’s the neighborhood’s little place of reliability, and they know it since they get all sorts of crowds at night. I don’t come here for their burgers, even though their deals are attractive. I come here for their cakes (the covered ones), or their shawarma/​middle eastern servings, yes, but what else do I come for? Their sodas. Because this is the little corner of paradise for the soda lover that I am here. The sodas are why I keep coming back. Get your fix of Stewart’s, Arabic 7up, The Pop Shoppe or any random miscellaneous catchy can/​bottle you may find in one of their several fridges at both ends of the shop! Let’s hope they keep up the selection and bring us, who knows, Arabic Coke, or maybe Japanese soda?
I’m always much satisfied with a plentiful shawarma plate with fries and a nice soda in a glass bottle.
Like I said, their burgers are bad, its not that they’re unsanitary but they’re just not quality beef (what did you expect for the price). So take whatever else you’d want along with their crispy hot fries, and a nice glass bottle of Black Cherry or Ginger Beer soda. If ever, some places may even accept you bringing over the food to have a beer in a pub around.
I will say something negative about sanitation though, carefully pick your cake or desert as you don’t want it to have a dead fly on/​in it. Some things were packed with a dead fly in it, so always be careful. They do have other deserts than cake, like baklava or ice cream, but I haven’t tried those yet. I’m being careful, I chose a clean cake once and it was just a fine dessert after a nice plate, and their ice cream may be decent but remains for me to try!
Anyway this is the famous little place of the area, a soda lover’s little piece of heaven, and a simple and plentiful selection to the aware consumer! I’m glad there is something like the sizzling grill around here for fun nights with options!
