We have visited your restaurant several times and will definitely return. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff is friendly. It’s great to see the updates to the interior. Wishing your establishment prosperity and good visitors. Please bring back the cherry perigees,they were simply amazing!)))

Atmosphere + Service: Our server was friendly and patient. She answered questions that we had about the menu and brought everything out in a timely fashion. The restaurant and washrooms were clean and well lit. They played some classical music in the background (not too loud). Food: The restaurant gives you some warm bread and hummus to start with. The hummus was good and tasted homemade. My friend and I got a ‘Borscht Soup’ to start with – a solid 8/10. For mains, we got ‘Brizol Moldova’ with buckwheat and ‘Metitei’ with home potatoes. The ‘Brizol Moldova’ was good but personally I wouldn’t get it again – I just found it to be a little chewy and not as flavorful as it could have been. I liked the buckwheat, but my friend was not a fan (it’s similar to brown rice – a little bit textured and a little bit nutty). The ‘Metitei’ (grilled lamb / veal sausage) was amazing! My first time trying it and I would 100% order it again. Juicy and the lamb flavor was present but not overpowering. I’m just sad that they only give you 4 pieces – I could eat a whole plate of those by themselves. The home potatoes were crispy and perfectly seasoned. Both mains also came with pickled cabbage and red sauce (on the side). I loved the red sauce – it tasted almost like a watery spicy ketchup. My friend felt like the sauce went better with the appetizer bread than the dishes themselves. Personally, I was just enjoying the sauce by itself with a spoon. Overall: I would return!

We loved the Compote, was amazing. The chicken schnitzel and the lamb liver were good too!

Good food, but felt a bit like missing something. I never add extra salt to my food, but in this case maybe just a bit more salt would add to the taste? The cheese pie has been served warm, but you could tell it’s been slightly reheated, as opposed to freshly baked: it didn’t have that fresh crunchiness, which was a bit disappointing. We’ll give it another chance in the future: hopefully different dishes will win our hearts more.

Traditional Russian Cuisine. If I could give 6 starts I would. We had a group of elven to celebrate our son’s baptism. The restaurant staff are fantastic. Super friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic. My family being Russian, we can vouch for traditional dishes. Shashlyk was to die for. Hot appetizers were delicious, but so was everything else. My husband’s Portuguese side of the family loved everything. They do have a small corking fee so you can bring your own alcohol. I strongly recommend this place for your next celebration or just a sit down for a traditional meal. Thank you Moldova :)

I have only ordered from Moldova through Door Dash. I find the food is consistently good, where you can tell effort was put into it. I am very happy that they decided to add the option to include roasted vegetables as a side (instead of rice or buckwheat) as I am on a low carb diet.

Id like to give Moldova Restaurant more stars, but, sadly, my Chicken Kiev was partly raw inside-- fully pink/uncooked meat showing--, which is simply inexcusable in a professional kitchen, let alone one whose flagship dish this is meant to be. Rare beef, duck, or pork, I can tolerate no problem, but chicken? There shouldnt be a need to even discuss this. With the amount of these youve prepared over the years-- thousands upon thousands, Im sure-- youd think it would be consistent... but I guess not, I guess theres always some level of variability. I of course received an apology, and the chicken was of course swiftly rushed back to the kitchen, where it was cooked further to an appropriate doneness, but your appetite isnt the same at that point. The right thing to do wouldve been to void the dish off the receipt (we were a party of two, with multiple dishes ordered), or at the very least make one from scratch- maybe throw in a dessert for the inconvenience. Beyond that, our waitress was very warm and accommodating, and the place is nice and clean. Have heard many good things about the spot over the years, though its been noted to me theres been something of a decline more recently, with perhaps consistency (as I experienced) being something of an issue. While this was my one-and-only experience dining at Moldova, and really not THAT big a deal in the grand scheme of things, I think, I just dont see any reason to risk it and go back to spend my hard-earned money there again. Maybe the chicken will be properly cooked next time, maybe it wont- its a coin-toss!

Stale and not tasty food for the value of the money I paid. My wife and daughter or sick. I was on vacation in Toronto and I had the desire to eat a belly soup. I have proud of our Romanian culinary values (Sotia e Cubana), I bragged so much that the family drooled before entering the restaurants. What a disappointment,,, ne políticos waiter very arrogant, mess, the old stuff smelled very bad.

This place was a ghost town. I was there for nearly an hour and a half in the middle of the day, and no other customers came in. There was just one employee sitting in a corner on his phone. After 50 minutes, I still didnt have my food, so I asked to get it packed to go once it was ready. 10 minutes later, he brought it out on a plate, so I had to stay. The food wasnt great, the potatoes were completely unseasoned.

Today my colleagues and I decided to eat out and I was delighted with the quality and taste of the food we ordered. The service was unobtrusive and sincere, the room was without frills, however, the dishes were fresh and tasty, as if grandma or mother had just prepared them. I recommend the veal liver - tender and aromatic, melts in your mouth and the Chisinau salad. I recommend it to those who love hearty home cooking.

Decent place for eastern european food. The appetizers are good: several eggplant options, khachapuri, cheburek, khinkali, salads, etc are all tasty and fresh. The kebabs are also good, but make sure you allow for enough time as they take a while to prepare. Great place to hold large group parties - available on short notice as they re never super packed. They allow for byob without cork-fee, which is a major win these days. Staff is super nice and accommodating.

Went in on a Sunday at around 6pm. Walked in, heard the door made a bell noise. 2 tables of customers, so obviously there was staff there. Waiting at the front to be seated, no one came after 4-5 minutes. Went to the front counter, waited 2-3 minutes. Rang the bell on the counter. Waited another 4-5 minutes, no one came. Heard people in the back I think but no one came out. We were talking fairly loud, so it was noticeable we were there. Ended up just leaving. Not sure what was going on.

This is the best place in GTA where you can experience Easter European food (Russian, Moldavian, Romanian etc). The soups include among others my favourites Solianka Soup (Russian Mixed Meat Soup) and the best Romanian Ciorba de Burta (Beef Tripe Soup) in GTA. The best Appetizers are Moldavian: Moldova Assortment and Kishineu, as for the main course you can choose from their famous Russian dishes: Kiev Cutlet (my favourite), Chicken Tabaka or if you like Romanian dishes: Mititei, Sarmale (Cabage Rolls) or for those who prefer a closer North American taste the Kostitza (Grilled Pork Loin Chops) and Chicken Breast Schnitzel. The best traditional Easter European desert is the Blintzes (crepes with cottage cheese and/or cherries), but if you prefer more traditional cakes Napoleon or Tiramisu are also available. You can choose from a variety of beverages and drinks. Service is fast and friendly. Highly recommended for either casual dining and also for special dining celebration events.

December 22, 2020

Used to be a good place, and I m hesitant to give them a bad rating, but honestly the food, the service, and the overall ambiance are lower than 3 stars. The new owners have a strange mix of Georgian and European food, an I cannot say that any of it is that good. My advice if it counts, is to hire professional wait staff, renovate a little and redecorate and improve the quality of the food. Only then your prices would be justified. This restaurant was outdated 10 years ago and with new ownership we would expect just a bit more effort to bring life back into it. On the day we visited (Saturday night) and couple of months ago, we were the only ones there, and we found out why after ordering. With so many other options in the area, you really need to try harder.

Everytime Ive been here the food has been great and staff friendly. Was there this afternoon for a gathering and everything was very well done. The soup with pelmeni is one of my favorites for a starter.

We had olivye last night there and it was sour, we thought maybe from the pickles. But now we know it wasn t the pickles, it was old, we are now very sick from this. The restaurant was empty on a Friday night. This place is NOTHING like it used to be. I would not recommend going here unless you want to get food poisoning.

Not tasty. We ordered chebureks and received non-chebureks as a result Overcooked, dry, not juicy, and also somehow torn. In general, the owners of the restaurant don t seem to have tried real chebureks.

Just ordered 4 plates this afternoon and was a bit disappointed with the portion size. The soups were, unfortunately, not enough to feed one person even though the price was of a full meal anywhere else ($15 bucks each soup). I will think twice before ordering here again. It was really tasty, though!

We visited Moldova restaurant on August 27, 2020. We were impressed with cleaneliness, first of all. The food was very good, very tasty, well cooked. We cant believe we read so bad reviews about this restaurant?!? Who can leave it without finding something to please? We had a very good hummus with flat bread, well done! Then we had crepes filled with mushrooms, great achievement! At the main course l had romanian lamb mititei, very tasty, with a nice sauce and mashed potatoes. My husband had Kiev chicken and he loved it! Desert was honey cake with ice-cream. The cake was great! I would like to mention that we are eating at home usually, l cook and all my relatives and neighbors love my cooking and baking, so doesnt mean that we didnt have what to eat at home and got excited about restaurant food. No, we only want to go out after the quarantine, so to change the view. At the end of this review, l want to congratulate the owner, the chef and the waiters for such a good job! We will come back, for sure. Olimpia

We used to visit this restaurant frequently. Our latest experience: 1. The order took around 30 minutes to arrive, despite the restaurant being basically empty. Water came room temperature. No free refills for coffee!!! 2. Prices are now higher and the portions smaller. 3. Food is much worse than it used to be. Out of 6 dishes we ordered only mamaliga was good. The rest ranged from below average to plain bad. 4. They automatically add 13% service to the bill. It is not clearly indicated on the bill, so I thought its tax (which is accidentally also 13% in Ontario) and added tip on top of the 13%. There are some places that add automatic tip, but then they usually disable the tip option on the machine. Im pretty sure this 13% is intentional to get people add tip on top of it. 5. The bill is written by hand and calculated manually!!! Congratulation Moldova! You have just lost another long term customer. Based on number of customers in the restaurant, Im not alone. You can fool people only once.

Used to be a frequent client in Moldova . Under new owner had a meal couple of months ago. Got a stomach disorder for a couple of days after, they gave me money back. Today, hoping they are doing better, came for a dinner. Had to leave due to a non-professional new owner behavior, actually saying it was my fault and she is afraid to offer me anything today. It never happened before in my life. It s a pity, they lost customers (my family and me) and I have to find another place.

Loved this place. Not very big but plenty space for about 60-80 people. Looked clean and organized. Very well laid out menu its easy to navigate. Friendly server answered all the questions we had. If you are European - eastern European to be more specific - then the food on the menu will hit home! Very decently price but go hungry because the portions are very generous. Definitely a come back!
