Top quality food. Authentic cuisine. Friendly relaxing atmosphere. Excellent service. . Food

Wonderful restaurant!!!

Fantastic authentic food and great service. Highly recommended!

Wonderful service and great staff. Love celebrating our birthdays!

Had a great lunch, great service, great value too I enjoyed the placinta and mititei

Amazing place where you can find and eat delicious romaninan and moldovian food. We will come back always

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.

The food is delicious, and authentic Romanian. Tried a few things and they were all delicious. Not a fan of the manele music, but it was clean, staff was nice. Food

A very pleasant establishment with the highest quality of service and wonderful staff! The cuisine is simply amazing, the most delicious place in Toronto! I recommend it to everyone!!!

Amazing food !! Very satisfied, the staff is very friendly and attentive. Thank you for a beautiful dinner. Definitely I will be back

Food was good we had the mici, and it was accompanied by a great cabbage salad. Fish Soup was great. Nice atmosphere, good location. And a Very good server, nice and curteous.

Don t have in stock food Food not fresh Service is kind of bad Don t even have people not busy at all not recommending Skip this place

First time I called to see if they having ciorba de burta and on phone they tell me they having. When I was there to eat they tell me they dont having one day before when I was they tell me next day they will do it l. Every times when I was there all times they say they dont having that. They charged me aswell the table and plus tax they not having fresh food I will not recommend this restaurant

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!

Food was amazing! 100 stars! Warm and delicious!!!

Excellent authentic food and comfortable environment.

Quiet, casual atmosphere, friendly and fast service, and great authentic eastern European food. We tried 8 dishes, and each one felt like I was back at my grandmas in Ukraine Vegetarian options: Good mix of cold and hot vegetarian options, salads, and soups.

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.

Solyanka is not bad. Chebureki is not authentic whatsoever. Food

Tasty, homemade, but I would renovate it. The facade is old, the toilet is dirty.

Lunch was great - excellent service too!

Authentic and tasty! Will be back

I had a great lunch today with a friend at Moldova Restaurant. Our waiter ,Dima ,was friendly and service was fast. All food we ordered was very tasty. They have traditional Moldovian / Romanian food. I enjoyed the Mititei , M m lig and the Tabaka chicken. I had a glass of red Unitedstar Moldova wine to compliment the food. I will be back again with my friends for lunch or dinner.

A sullen Asian waiter, a cold restaurant, delicious food.

I was invited by a friend there for the first time in 2022. I loved their lamb chop and Greek salad. From that day on I am a loyal costumer and enjoy their amazing food and relaxing environment. I always recommend it to my friends.

Gamarjoba

Amazing food! I highly recommend it.

The soup was great but cold fish assortment was not fresh.

The food is incredibly home-cooked! We ordered instant lunch. Everything was fresh and very tasty. I recommend it to everyone. With respect to your work. Irina.

Nice cozy place with a variety of eastern european cuisine

Wow talk about portions and are they ever big Definitely one of my favorite restaurants now cant believe how big the basses that they give you, And it tastes amazing

feels very homie and reminds me of my childhood, great for eastern European families for quick meal

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.

Went here with my immediate family to celebrate my late (European) grandmother. The found was delicious and authentic to what I was used to her cooking for me growing up. I wish I lived closer because I would definitely love to try more items on the menu. The staff was also friendly.

Very comfortable place.

The dish called juliennein the menu is just onions with mushrooms, you should change the name in your menu, because youre misleading people with the name julienne.

Very delicious Kebabs, Super Thank you.

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.

Amazing food so delicious definitely 1 of the best restaurants I ve ever been to

Good restaurant, yummy food, fast service. Recommend for everyone who wants home-made delicious food.

Good food and pleasant service. Restaurant wasnt busy at all when I visited, but the atmosphere was really pleasant. Menu has authentic food, and portion size is plenty large. If I could only make one suggestion, it would be to make the food slightly less greasy and rich. thanks!

Food is well below average and the service is matching it. Probably explains the empty restaurant. Chicken was dry and overcooked with no flavour, only thing good was the borscht. Wouldn t ever come back.

The food is delicious, im normally not big on Eastern European food but this restaurant does it well 10/10. Service is friendly

Food was fresh and hot! The waitress was always on top of keeping our drinks and bread basket full. Entire family was completely satisfied.

Been there today with the family to celebrate Mother s Day. We had a great experience! Great service, great atmosphere, amazing homemade food and very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable staff. I definitely recommend this restaurant and we will definitely go back for more. Thank you Moldova Restaurant! (Anya) Parking: Lots of parking spots Kid-friendliness: Great family restaurant and kid friendly

The food was great. We had chicken kebob, chick schnitzel, chicken tabaka and mititei. I would have given more stars but they only served 3/4 of the chicken tabaka and tried to convinced that I was given a whole chicken.

Its a small,cozy place with homemade style Eastern European food. Its nice for lunch or just if you crave this kind of food. Nothing fancy... simple,taisty, and price friendly

Nice place to taste Eastern European food

Not fresh bred, Kiev cutlet meat not good at all mash potato without butter and milk .. olivye without sausage NOT RECOMMENDED

Very good Thank you!

I liked the food, very tasty borscht and dumplings, but I give 4 stars because I did not like the water with lemon that was served on the table, the water tastes like tap water

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.

Was an absolutely amazing experience! We loved it! Delicious and friendly. Highly recommend Vegetarian options: Mamaliga

It is an overlooked gem fir dining despite being lower in price compared to the catastrophic prices for eating out now at many other places.

I love this place, they have delicious food, and very nice personal. I recommned everyine visit that place and enjoy their meal and spend good time.

Booked a flight to Moldova after eating here, its that good DEADASS

Very good, mamaliga with pork fat excellent (except i didnt see pork fat on the menu as an option. Very good Pelemeni, chefs compliment. You guys are great, but you are missing 2 very important foods: Moldovan Pl cinta and Sweet desert Cu ma lui Gugu from sower cherries. Very good Napoleon cake but it was frozen.. Please add them, and we will come back again.

Khachapuri smelled and looked great, taste was fine. Specifically, dough was nice but not enough cheese. Not sure if it was baked fresh as it felt like it was reheated.

The best food you will ever eat, made fresh just like back home! Beautiful restaurant and very friendly staff! Moldova is the best!

Service great, food is great. Wish we knew our tip was already included on the bill so we didn t pay it twice. Felt like an unpleasant ending to a great evening.

My kids, my parents, and I went to Moldova 4 times already in the last year. The foods were so delicious; the servings were enormous; the atmosphere was perfect, and the served were so attentive. Strongly recommend this place!

The rudest people you will ever meet!! Much better options out there!

Really nice place, love to order their food

It is a very average eating place . Dont expect any fresh made food. It comes frozen from the fridge - microwave - to your plate. Service is good,

What a Wonderful place! The food is amazing! Zamma soup is fantastic. Mititei is out of this world. Highly recommend. Warm and cozy atmosphere.

Fantastic schnitzel dinner and the meatiest cabbage rolls. This place is now on my regular list to order from.

Delicious food, friendly service

Amazing food. Home made and authentic Loved it. The beet roots soup and georgian cheese bread was great.

Food portions here are the worst for the price- they are rationing portions. I ordered goulash, which came with the 3/4 smallest pieces of beef you ll ever see for $17.99 on Uber. Outrageous- I m still hungry and got robbed of $22 for some seasoned water and half a potato. Disappointed

I highly recommend visiting this place! Last week we ordered khinkali (Georgian dumplings), chebureki, chicken and pork shish kebobs, dolmas, greek salad and herring with potatoes. Everything was so delicious! And the prices are reasonable. It is one of the best restaurants in Toronto.

Very good authentic eastern European food. I had a chicken shnitzel with home potatoes and coselaw. Everything was good but I didnt personally enjoy the dill overtones. Nice staff and average pricing.

Food is excellent and people working are kind and good people

Great family restaurant with attentive service. The Khachapuri was not as fluffy as I had expected, but the other dishes were great. Highly recommend the Brizol Moldova - the mushroom stuffing is so flavourful. I was eyeing all the dishes that were coming out of the kitchen because they smelled fantastic!

Great place

Amaizing as usual Just love this place

Great food and amazing people, definitely check this place out.

Delicious food, friendly and fast service, relaxing ambience

Nice workers, good food, feels homemade. Good place to come for dinner. Thank you.

A nice place to go for eastern European food. Quick service and fairly priced. They have food from all over eastern Europe, not just Moldova Georgian food Russian Ukrainian

The best chebureks!!!

very, very good food I think of Moldova when I eat. Plus, the trays are vast and big and you are sure to stay full and take the food home with you.

Whenever were in the area we like to stop by. Love the food here. My husband is a huge ciorba de burta fan. Everything weve had here has been delicious.

Okroshka with kefir in this heat is simply manna from heaven. Yummy. The children rated the pasties very highly.

We always have a great time in this restaurant. Delicious foods and great atmosphere.

Harcho Soup was lovely, has a nice kick. It just hits the spot! We had the flatten cornish hen and Brazol Madova, delicious! Our server, Thu, was very friendly, lovely young lady! Will return again! Cheers to the chef!

Good experience and good food

Very poor. Waited 20 mins for an Uber order. When you receive the Uber order, please make it so the Uber driver then doesnt wait 20 minutes for it to be prepared

Great service and tasty food!

Nice chebureki and harcho.

Interesting choices of Ukrainian cuisine and good service. Good crowd when we visited. Thinly stocked bar, so dont expect anything exoctic or topical. I would recommend a visit.

I went to pick up our order. Chicken Kiev is so good.

Was looking for lunch options while I was in the area, and found this place as it is eastern European cuisine. I was very happy with my selection, as the food tastes exactly like a homemade, from my grandma Got chebureki and chicken Kiev, and it was just excellent! Great service too, fast and friendly. P.S. Servers are Russian speaking too Vegetarian options: I saw vegetarian options in the menu, but do not remember specifics. Parking: Parking in front of the restaurant is available

Excellent food and service was amazing

The borscht is amazing. Everything else is wonderful as well, but the borscht!

Phenomenal place!! Best pork shish kebab I have ever had. Fantastic chebureki. Excellent prices. Consistent quality and portions. My favourite place as of now. Edit: been ordering from here for 4 years, finally came in person - *its even better* Literally best place in GTA for food, and Ive been to hundreds

Everything was delicious and the servers were so polite and so friendly

Pretty good for my first experience. Wait staff could have been around more and no water was provided. The main meal was quite small for what it was, but we had the mamaliga so it was very filling.

Very high quality food. I recommend Chicken Kiev. Food

Very delicious Eastern European food!

I often order here on Ritual

Amazing tasty food. Love it.

It was a nice experience to try Eastern Europe, Georgian, dishes. Dishes I had were so yummy. The restaurants atmosphere is cozy and warm. Parking available.

Im sure if i knew how to make mamaliga, my husband would love me as much as he loves this restaurant. Jokes aside, amazing food. I recommend the mamaliga.

I flew all the way from Calgary to have dinner here with my friends. Special place with excellent food and service. Spaciba Ryibata ;) (Moldovan that knows his food)

Excellent food and service

Friendly staff and delicious food.

Allways fresh and tasty.

This restaurant needs to do a better job in cleaning this place. The washroom floors are so sticky its hard to walk on em. The kitchen door was open and it didnt seem like they keep the kitchen clean either.l wont go back

Always a treat

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.

Very unorganized with poor service...dishes are good but expensive

Great food and service!

Very unique place as you get authentic Moldavian and Georgian food. The food was all really good and real, no gimmicks here. Great prices as well.

The khachapuri did not look anything like the picture with the egg on top. This is a case of false advertising and wrong to display that on ritual, very disappointed! The honey cake was dry although not sure if thats how its supposed to be

Great food, friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Totally with it.

Nice staff and free parking the food was ok just a little bit too oily. They give you hot naan bread and homemade hummus as a bonus, it was excellent as well as the mushroom blinz.

Satisfied with visit. Borscht & fish soup were both fantastic!

amazing food, clean place

Tasty

Delicious Eastern European food, specifically Romanian and Moldovan. Great, helpful staff, I always reminisce of home when visiting.

Used to be 3+ stars, now 2minus Traditional food was horrible they were out of beer, service was slow and I guess they didnt dare to ask how we enjoy the food. Really bad change

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.

The food was awful, nothing like before with the previous owner , me and my wife order tripe soup and mititei ,its a traditional Romania food , really bad taste the tripe was cooked to disintegration like we were eating gelatin and the mici,loose sausage formed in a cylinder, was nothing like before ,really disappointing and the prices wow...

Excellent selection of food, classic dishes all well executed. Great place to bring a family!

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.

Authentic food. Enjoyed it a lot.

Great !!! Great wines Old Marani Georgian wine was awesome thank you guy s ,i have never try in Toronto so wonderful Georgian wine. Thank you !!!! Artur Basharov

Disgusting Garbage Resturant.

Disappointed with dish size through uber eats. Never again.

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!

Patio open. Come to check it out. New management. Very nice people. Yammy food. I will come again.

Delicious Armenian and Georgian dishes!

Best food in the city !! Service is always great and the good is just fantastic. Must try from their menu : - Khinkali with buckwheat - Cabbage rolls - Honey cake

Nice food and service was quick

Excellent !Great travel to easterneuropian food .

Food was excellent, service was great. Highly recommend this place.

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

I really liked the appetizers, especially the empanadas.

Food is decent, stuff is friendly. I don t have any complaints.

I have been there only once. The overall experience is very good. You must be interested to try something new there As it is a Moldova Food!. I would like to visit once again.

Warm host. Observed Covid distancing. Trout, Lamb and cabbage rolls were spectacular. Cant wait to go again.

I like coming here once in a while specifically for the selection of soups they have, its of a fair price and good quality.

Good honest homemade traditional dishes.

Got a large dinner takeout to eat home with the family. The food was amazing!

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.

IURIE CLIUJNII why would eat the meal that poisoned you twice in the same restaurant if that was true.

Amazing service, amazing food. Food is unreal I have never experience that is such a good service. Tabaka was so good and Greek salad was the best. Wine prices are amazing.!!!!

Great food and friendliest setting. Good service and worth the money to spend an evening here. 100% recommend this restaurant!!!!

Impressed. Authentic food and pleasant atmosphere. See you next time!

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!

Never heard of Moldova, but, thought would try it out. Had a very tasty pork kebab. Salmon kebab was also very good.

Great selection of vegetarian meals. Friendly staff and they really went all in for christmas so it feels homey and nice! Will see u again soon thanksss
