Loved this place I would rate as top favourite for quality seafood prepared with fresh ingredients. Each dish was well made with great flavors. Definitely try the shrimp lobster alfredo, it won’t be disappointing. Fish was perfectly cooked crispy on the outside and juicy well cooked on the inside. Scallops were also delicious every dish was made really well. Very spacious restaurant that can cater families with children. Staff is very kind and ensure every necessity is taken care of. Highly recommend gathering for special occasions or just to enjoy peaceful and soul foods. Worth visiting again!

Great fresh seafood and variety of cooking methods to ensure your fish or seafood is cooked exactly as you want. We tried Fried Calamari, Grilled shrimps, Sea Bream, Sea Bass and Lobster & Shrimp Linguini. Everything was great and service was quick. Will definitely come again

Samaka has quickly become a favourite for Egyptian style grilled seafood. I have tried few others in town but this has been the most consistent one. Great owner and service

The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the Sea bass fish ”“Hands down, some of the best food I’ve had recently! They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is done the right way. The [calamari and seafood soup ] was especially memorable. Must try!” “I’m still dreaming about my meal at Smaka restaurant Each bite was a delight, and the presentation just blew us away. Don’t miss out on trying their dishes. Rafiq is the best Very polite, friendly and hard-working.

After dropping a friend off at Pearson international Airport, we dined at this nearby restaurant, based on good Google reviews. We had seafood soup, babaganush, samosas, grilled shrimp and grilled sea bass. The seafood was fresh, very well prepared. Price very reasonable, quick friendly service. We live near downtown, but will definitely dine here again!

The food is so delicious, fresh, and generously portioned. The fried shrimp are addictive; I can polish off 1/2lbs without any problems. The food is a little saltier than I normally eat, but the sauces and lemon on the side balance everything out really well and you can even ask the kitchen to reduce the salt. The owner of the restaurant (and I believe the head chef as well) is warm and has a friendly demeanour that makes this place even more pleasant to visit. Seafood lovers have to try this gem; you won’t be dissappointed!

I don't know where to begin. This place was really nice but small. The food was fresh and delicious!! In fact, I am really hungry for these food, I wish I was in Canada right at this moment to eat those again. I will be coming back, God willing!! Whoever read this review, you will not regret trying out this place!! Oh, staffs are really nice! Also, we had fried shrimps and fried calamari, the salad I would assume Afghan salad? The drinks are good, but they are carbonate drink with different choices of flavors if you like. I wish I could tell you what that fish is....unfortunately the person I went with likes to keep a secret. But!! You can show this photo!! Enjoy!!! 😊

Seafood Haven! .. Excellent options on the menu, creative cooking styles and simply delicious Seafood. You can pick the type of fish, and have it grilled, baked or fried to your liking. The ambience and decor is beautiful and service was outstanding. Definitely coming back to try the other options. UPDATE: Back to try more items and I can only say to myself, why didn't I come sooner! .. Superb! UPDATE AUG. 5, 2024 - Back again. The consistency in flavor and service is impeccable. Tried the red snapper in singari, mackerel in lemon and herb and sea bream in raddah .. delicious! New pics added.

I didn t think it was worth it, honestly. The best thing was the Samaka Soup, and that got a star for itself. My husband and I spent 80CAD on an average food, nothing special besides the soup. Even though the restaurant was empty, I had to go find someone to get a container and the bill. I wouldn t recommend it, sorry. Oh, they only serve bottle water from Nestle brand, no tap, not sure why, but I thought this was odd.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Samaka, and I must say, their fried Sea brim and shrimp is an absolute triumph. We had ordered it along with some fries and salad. From the moment these dishes arrived at the table, we were captivated by the fish s golden, crispy exterior along with beautiful seasoning and the tantalizing aroma that wafted through the air. The fish was perfectly fried to a delightful crunch, offering a satisfying contrast to its moist and flaky interior. Each bite revealed a symphony of flavors, enhanced by the delicate seasoning that brought out the natural sweetness of the fish without overpowering it. The accompanying lemon wedges added a zesty brightness, perfectly complementing the savory notes of the dish. What truly sets this dish apart is the authenticity and care that goes into its preparation. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, as if it had just ben just caught that morning. We got to take part in choosing the exact fish we were going to eat. The attention to detail and dedication to using high-quality ingredients is evident and greatly appreciated. The dish was accompanied by a selection of Mediterranean sides, including a vibrant and tangy tzatziki sauce, and a refreshing salad that provided a delightful counterbalance to the richness of the fried fish. The service by Rafiq at Samaka was equally outstanding. Rafiq was very knowledgeable about the menu and eager to ensure a memorable dining experience. He was attentive to detail, ensured our fish was served to perfection and very welcoming. He always asked how we were doing or if we needed anything. He disinfected the table quickly and service was prompt. In summary, the Mediterranean fried fish at Samaka is a must-try. Its a beautifully executed dish that showcases the best of Mediterranean cuisine, leaving you with a longing to return for more. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in a delicious and authentic culinary experience.

Everything from the hospitality , to the plating of the food and of course the taste was 200/10!!! The chef Tauseef was really killed it! He was also super friendly and checked in on us to make sure everything was okay. The waitress, was super friendly as well and was able to knowledgeably answer all our menu questions.

Showed up here at lunch time on family day after calling ahead the night before to confirm availability. The place was just opening when we arrived after 12 and the staff looked surprised and unprepared to serve us. We order coffee and tea to start and received puzzled stares from the server who said they only have Arabic coffee despite the menu indicating two options normal coffee and Arabic coffee . They also did not carry any milk. It took over 30 minutes to get served our teas and coffees which were brewed beside the counter by our server. It s important to note that we were the only guests in the restaurant at this time. We opted to pay our bills and relocate elsewhere after our drinks arrived. Can t comment on the quality of the food but the interior of the restaurant and atmosphere was not as expected based on the photos online, ratings or the price point of the menu items. It looked more like a well decorated cafeteria than an upscale dining establishment.

Food was delicious authentic egyptian seafood! Service was great. Only advice would be to teach your staff the art of selling. Luckily I know what to order but I was trying to ask for whats good or recommendations but there was no interest. Every time I order something and ask for more details I get a robotic answer of thats it? Buddy I am here to enjoy and eat you could have sold me the entire menu with minimal human interaction. Be careful these small things would highly affect your customer loyalty and sales.

Great, polite and honest service. They really respect their customers and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Food is fresh but ok taste-wise. We tried the seafood. It was fresh but pretty bland as they do not use too many spices. Shrimp was excellent with generous quantity

We had very bad experience. Stay away. Not organized, orders delayed, unprofessional experience at all. After taking order and accepting to avoid certain items for only one person due to allergy, they came after 30 min saying they can t do it. We acknowledged their limitation, yet waiting more than another hour and still some orders are not fulfilled and the reply was sorry we forgot. Very unprofessional, stay away. Replying to the owner reply below: This is another failure that you couldn t track my order was at this exact location/restaurant. The visit and incident was on Monday, 7 August 2023. I have all the transaction details. This confirms the operational gaps and unprofessional services. If you want to reply, please make sure that you are allowing to reply back.

Had dinner on a Saturday night which I understand is probably one of the busiest days. But to have absolutely NO service is hard to comprehend. The owner seemed very nice and and Im sure he wears many hats keeping his business going but he needs to have better people working as servers. We had our orders taken by a girl who didnt break a smile once and then that was the last we saw of her. A few guys came to deliver the food we ordered with absolutely no communication. I had to get up several times to get things like a spoon for the soup they just brought out. Drinks that we were told we had to get ourselves and again to ask for a container to take home some leftovers. Then lastly to get up for the last time to pay at the counter where the only thing they didnt forget was to show us that a tip was required. Not sure for what because no one truly offered us any service. If they want to be a fast food style restaurant then they should just follow Tim Hortons lead and offer counter service. Its a shame because the food tasted pretty good. Not amazing, but pretty good. But the service was non-existent. Theyll need to do better if they want to last. Unfortunately, we wont be back.

Went for a family lunch, and the dishes were beyond our expectations! It was nostalgic of authentic Alexandrian Egyptian cuisine. We shared the Sea Bass (Cooked Raddah style), Sea Bream (Cooked Singari style), grilled shrimp, and fried calamari. Each main dish that came was fresh, packed with flavour, and piping hot right off the grill. The side dishes also had a lot of care put into them (Salad, sayadya rice, dipping/dressing). They were also able to accomodate for my allergies, and replaced tahini with spicy mayo and lemon & herb mayo. Portion sizes were great, and staff even asks if you need more rice, fries, etc. without adding more charge. The staff here are extremely knowledgeable about the fishes, when/where it came from, and what cooking style it pairs well with. They were super friendly, and definitely put a lot into making sure all customers feel welcomed, and cared for. Highly recommend visiting Samaka, and wish I can give beyond 5 stars! Dietary restrictions: Owner was able to accomodate for my allergies. I am not able to consume sesame seen in tahini on their menu), and was provided both spicy mayo and herb & lemon mayo. Both were delicious, and also a large portion for dipping that lasted me all my dishes! Parking: Lots of parking available in the plaza.

We were a large group that kept increasing in numbers from 12 to 22. They were super accommodating and friendly. The food was delicious, the service was superb and the atmosphere was lovely. I highly recommend the ringa dip, the tajine, and the sea bream singari. Totally worth the drive from the North end

Food resembles a truly authentic Egyptian seafood cuisine which is the first I found to my liking in Canada. I am on a short travel in Ontario and thought of giving Samaka restaurant a try, and I can say that I didnt regret it. This is certainly a come back when we revisit Mississauga at any time. I loved everything I ordered today as its simply delicious. I was skeptical of ordering online but I didnt have time for dine in, and surprisingly the food was delivered as hot as it would have been at the restaurant. Tahini is one of a kind here in Canada, Molokheya with shrimp is done to perfection not watery or oily, thick and very tasty. Calamari tasted great too; it wasnt crunchy, but to be fair I was ok with that as it was covered until delivered which puts the crunch off. Grilled shrimp is appetizing. Overall, i enjoyed my order and would like to thank the team at this place for the positive experience they offered :)

Stumbled across this place randomly as my mom and I were looking for a seafood spot in Mississauga and this was one of the very few that showed up. I m so glad we decided to come here because it is a well deserved 5/5! - The restaurant is clean and does not smell very fishy, despite the display of fish to choose from (bathroom was not as clean!) - the food was so delicious, reasonably priced and well portioned. My mom got the sea bream and I got the sea bass, neither had a fishy taste at all. Perfectly seasoned and grilled sangari style! I want to come back to try the other types of cooking. We got an extra plate to take back home for my dad because it was so good. Such a simple but beautiful meal. Be warned, it s a whole fish so there will be bones! - the service was awesome! Shoutout to our server Tauseef who even offered to take our to go meal to our car!! It was ~$100 for three full meals. I m totally gonna come back!!

We had the fried calamari, seafood linguine, grilled fish and grilled shrimp and calamari. The food is excellent, the fish is the best and the freshest I ve tasted in Canada. They also offer you complimentary salad and tea. However the 2 stars reflect the service and shady practices of the owner that upsold us so much food and then promised to take care of us. Only for him to disappear when the meal is over and send someone else to take the bill, which btw is completely fine, however, after we pay and finish off our tea he comes to the table claiming why did we pay and that he was busy with a big order in the kitchen when we had already been waiting 15 mins for the bill and were seeing him chatting in the kitchen. Overall won t be back.

All the seafood I have eaten in Canada has been Western seafood, except for this place. If you find yourself asking, whats western seafood ?, is there a difference? What is it different to ? Then you are one-step closer to discovering something that we in the middle east quite frankly, take for granted. Get the grilled shrimp, and either the sea bass or sea bream, ask the cook whats the best way to cook it if you are unsure, he will hook you up. Trust me, you wont be disappointed. Fish and shrimp cooked in a style I have never experienced in Canada before. This place does it right. Only thing thats missing is an ocean near by to cook fresh caught fish If you love seafood, do yourself a favor and try this place.

Ordered the grilled king fish and sea bass singari. Keep in mind that this is an Egyptian food style restaurant. Sea bass was pretty moist and tasted clean and fresh to me, but the king fish was overcooked and dry. Flavour wise I think they are keeping it simple not much is happening for the fish. The music was too loud, the place smelled fishy, and it can be a bit cleaner. Overall it s not too bad. The food is simple and good if you know what to order.

I came here a couple years back and I just cant forget this place. I must go again! The food was fresh and so unique, its hard to find a halal seafood place you can trust that does not use alcohol in their food. The service was amazing. The owners took our order and Subhanallah, they are such kind people. I felt at home as they were so social and truly made us feel comfortable. We were unsure what to order and they helped us with what we might like. They are such honest people- I was going to order something expensive however after hearing my preference, they recommended another item that was less expensive. That is how you know they care about their customers and arent just here for the money- this honesty is truly appreciated and I have only good wishes for them and their business. May God bless your store with continuous blessings! Hope to visit again soon!
