Dinner at Astoria

Last night I had dinner with the girlfriend at Astoria Shishkebob House on The Danforth, and it was ama-zu-zing. In my rating system of 1-10 amazuzing is an 11. I had to give it an 11 because I already gave their Mississauga location a 10, and their original Toronto location on the Danforth and Chester was definitely 1 point better.

I had the big lamb souvlaki, and she had the small. Both cooked medium, which is the only way to eat their lamb souvlaki, because when you get into the well done territory it just tastes tough and burnt. The meals also came with awesome potatoes and rice, oh and I asked for an extra cup of tzatziki because I'm addicted to the stuff, although not as bad as I was a few years ago; when I'd break into cars stealing radios and loose change to support my tzatziki habit.

There's lots of parking behind Astoria at Danforth and Chester and all allong the Danforth, or FREE street parking on Chester if you can find a spot. One warning about the free parking though, if you're with a group of slow eaters or really chatty people you might not finish before your 1-2 hour time limit is up, and could get a ticket.

Oh and there's Chester subway station right there too.
