If chicken is more your style, then time to be entertained with the Entertain Me. Only @gladiatorburger You get four-buttermilk fried chicken tenders that is stacked high and drenched in either regular or spicy sauce with crusted mozzarella cheese, beef bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, and chipotle aioli. We took the spicy route and started our delicious and dreamy battle with this sandwich with the crackling of the first bite. The chicken was cooked to a light crispin...ess making sure the middle was very tender and juicy. As for the spiciness level, you will taste what we think is equivalent to a medium-hot sauce, giving it a nice kick. Who is feeling some chicken love? @ Gladiator Burger & Steak

This slow-cooked lamb is what food dreams are made of. Only @silkroadtoronto The Shank Osmani (13) is a must get as the dish comes beautifully designed with a base of creamy labneh, slices of lamb shank that has been slow-cooked for 14 hours, and pieces of cucumber, pomegranate, and cherry tomatoes. The lamb was mouth-wateringly tender and the combination of soothing labneh with the acidic garnish pieces creates a well thought out dish that encompasses a slide of flavours ...with each bite. Other must-try dishes: Shami Kebab(8.75): which as you can see are no ordinary kebab, as you get 5 circle-like pieces infused with a blended mix of chicken breast, onions and lentils and then lightly fried to keep it all in place. Holy Crab Samsa(6.75): A three-piece dish that looks like a deflated samosa, but don’t let deter you as the filling is quite wonderful with a blended and marinated crab, caramelized onions and mashed potatoes Chicken Bukhari Pilaf (13): It comes in a nice black bowl and filled to the brink with pilaf rice, crispy onions, and sliced chicken.

One Daring Bottle At A Time. A bold statement for the equally bold and delicious wine. Only @feroxwines We had a chance to give some of their bottles a try and fell in love quickly as their wines were full of fruity and nutty flavoured without compromising on taste. As well we love the design of the bottles, black, white, or gold, sleek, modern and a boldening effect of luxury. Depicted here is their 2018 Ferox White ($25) a white wine with a lovely floral aroma and a decentl...y clear composition in the glass. After we swirled it around a bit, we took a quick taste immediately feeling a medium-bodied and dry wine with subtle peach, lemon, and citrus taste with continually fruit finish. The second pic is the 2017 Merlot-Cabernet which is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon an elegant, medium-high intensity with fresh and bright acids supported by soft and supple tannins bringing it a nice structure. The aromas you will smell with the opening of the cork is coca, blackberry, chocolate and ripe dark currant and cassis. The taste has nice fruit and subtle oaky flavours that mix well within the bottle. It has a good finish that darkens with the last drop. Both amazing wines that we could not stop till the last drop. Check out their website to buy online! Are you team white or team red? @ Ferox

First start off with the Lobster Heaven Roll (9.95) which is a lobster tail tempura, with avocado, cucumber, tobiko roll topped with torched salmon, and garlic aioli. Next, get the Hawaiian roll, which is filled with crab salad, avocado, cucumber and topped with salmon, and a delicious mango sauce. These two will give y...ou a seafood flavour mixed in with a little bit of sweet and soothing tastes. Then, get the Salmon Hako an 8piece dish that is specially designed by the chef and then drizzled with a secret sauce before it is torch pressed and flame-seared to perfection. Mix this in with the Diablo Roll and you got a party. The Diablo roll(7.95) has banana pepper, avocado, crab meat salad and topped with a spicy tuna and jalapeno sauce that has a scaled of medium to medium-low on the spicy scale, bringing just enough kick to make this roll irresistible. Lastly, is the Big Unagi Sushi (14.95) a luscious and tasteful 5oz eel that just begs you to have piece after piece as each one slowly melts in your mouth.

This Turkish Feast is one of the best we ever had!@mamafatmaca When you visit Mama Fatma the first item you need to get is their Mixed Cold appetizers where you can get Hummus, Baba Ganoush and Spiced Mash with a basket of oily bread that is too addicitive to stop eating. Then, for the mains we highly recommend their Mix Kebab Combo for 2(56.99) which really should be called the Mix Kebab Combo for 3 because the amount of food that comes on that platter can feed 3 hungry h...ippos. You receive skewers of Adana Kebab, Beef Shish Kebab, and Chicken Souvlaki, which were all made to be very tender, and juicy with hints of charcoal burnt crisp flavouring. In the middle of the mountain of meat, you will find chicken wings, two-pieces of very tender lamb chops, beef, and chicken Doner with a side of rice, tomatoes, peppers, and Bulgur salad. A feast for a King/Queen but since this is Turkish it is fit for a very big Sultan. Stay Tuned for Dessert!
