Chainsmoker Urban Halal Barbecue in Scarborough

The best food, vibes, service and price

The overall experience was pretty good. Loved that the food was halal.

Honestly it was one of the best halal briskets I had in a very long time. It was very juicy and smoked. On top of the amazing brisket my favourite was actually the done up rice! Fire ! Will definitely go again! must try

We got the large platter, so worth it if you are hungry. We spilt among 4 hungry dudes very filling. Highly recommend and the staff are very kinda people.

I was there on Saturday and i was with my friends to have a platter. Although we had to wait a little bit but it was worth it. The nepali chef who cooked that platter was there to ask us how the food was and if he needs do any improvements. The food was great and the service as well. Looking forward to come again

Good but long wait time

THE BEST FOOD EVER

Some oh the greatest food I even tasted in my life

Delicious food! Friendly service and staff! If you re in the area highly recommend!

Came here for the first time few days ago and I was surprised. Usually Im not a fan of ribs but it was amazing here. We got the plater for 3-4 people and everything was really good. Highly recommend!

Yum enjoyed dinner this evening, thank you

Excellent beef brisket. I ve been searching all over the city to find good Texas beef brisket after one of my favourite bbq places closed. This place has it! Tender and juicy - just as it should be. We will return for more!!!

The service was exceptionally poor, completely ruining our dining experience. We had to ask for basic essentials like cutlery and tissues long after the food was served. Additionally, the quality of the brisket and burgers was highly disappointing and not something we would choose to eat again. Overall, the experience fell far below expectations and left me deeply dissatisfied.

Parking: Good spot Food

Great food. Must try!

Definitely a must try variety of cuisine. But can increase taste and flavours.

One word excellent Parking: All good Food : 5/5 |

Really nice people. Love the food and the owner is really nice.

Good place and good food but bit on expensive side. If you re meat lovers then you should try for sure

Chicken leg and rice was seasoned super well, delicious and very affordable

Amazing food and great service. The ribs, brisket, and jerk chicken were my favorite. Also, the dun up fries were 10/10 Food

Amazing stuff and delicious taste food

Awesome food and friendly staff like the serivces and quantity is good for 125 plus tax but it s worth coming back really juicy steaks and also the rips were very tender.

Just had a Take out order of Jerk Chicken Cheese Fries. The food looked great and tasted even better.

The brisket seems to be their main appeal but is not good traditional brisket

I had the double leg bbq chicken, and it was honestly pretty good!

The food was fantastic. Not disappointed at all. The service was top notch. We tried jerk chicken it was cooked to perfection. My friend tried beef brisket and liked it too. Overall had a great time reasonable prices and fine quality food. I highly recommend it.

Had a medium platter with my friends. There is nothing to complain about. Everything was just perfect.

The jerk chicken was soo good. highly recommend if you love spicy food.

Best food ever! Thank you Sagor and team.

Beef ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, Brisket was juicy AF. Staff was very pleasant and attentive. Will definitely be returning!

The food was amazing loved it filled with delicious flavors

The food is very delicious and staff is very friendly..beef Ribs is a must try with BBQ sauce

Great food and customer service..will definitely be coming back!

Tried medium platter, best test ever tried

Me and my friend was craving for some smoked beef today so while searching on Google we found this cute restaurant in Scarborough called Chainsmoker Urban Halal Barbecue. Honestly it was really delicious food and the quality of beef they serve was really great too. Ambiance was very cozy as well as the staff was very kind. Definitely will go again. Highly recommended to everyone.

Safwan served us food today and I have to say the only thing better than the food here was his service. I will come to this place for a long time. It is my favourite.

The best smoked meat ive ever tasted in Toronto!

Chainsmoker is an authentic urban Halal BBQ serving the best TRIPLE A HALAL Smoked Brisket, Beef Ribs and all Beef Burgers, BBQ Chicken Dinners, Deep Fried Chicken Wings and more with our famous; Spicy Kansas, Smokey Texas, Sweet Memphis and South Carolina Sauces!...

Went here with my family. Food + service was great. Price was very reasonable for what they offer. HMA certified alhamdulilah

Amazing customer service, amazing food. I been here many times and each time the food gets better and better. This place is a gem for many!

Amazing place, food is authentic, tastes amazing and portioning is large!

Very delicious and healthy food.

Excellent Brisket

The portions are good and tasty but is a bit expensive.

Everything was great! The food was delicious. The service was quick and very friendly. The only one thing that I would suggest is to provide more quantity for the price. Perhaps a bit more meat if possible and try to add one additional side as well so that one may feel satisfied after having their meal. Still felt a bit hungry afterwards. Please consider opening a new location in the Markham / Stouffville area. Thank you for a first time good experience overall.

Amazing brisket and jerk chicken. Highly recommended.

We had the Smoked Triple A Beef Back Ribs. The portion was consistent and the taste was amazing. 10/10 recommended.

Best BBQ place in town.

Amazing food and service. Very well priced as well. Plus HMA certified. Can t get better

Very high quality meat, and it was prepared to perfection Worth it, would definitely come again Ribs and Brisket Food : 5/5

Good food for a decent price. Went in on a Friday night and waited only 20 mins for food to be made. The quantity was good on the ribs and brisket.

Excellent brisket on a bun well worth 15 bucks

The meat tastes great and falls off the bone. Highly recommended

This place is absolutely beautiful and the food taste amazingly delicious Will surely recommend everyone to try their tender beef ribs and the cheese fries

Ribs were literally fall off the bone. The pulled bbq beef fries is a very big portion enough for 3-4ppl to share. Very good portions and quality, didn t take too long either!

Everything is perfect here.

Lovely service and great food! Everything is so fresh and the staff is exceptionally friendly :)

great food great vibes and great service

It was quite an amazing experience the worker was respectful and kind

Food was so delicious.One of the best halal option in GTA.

Their big platter deal is really good for 5/6 people. Enjoyed the brisket, jerk chicken, ribs. Really loved it. Parking: They parking in front of the storez

Chainsmoker Urban Halal Barbecue delivers an exceptional dining experience with perfectly smoked, tender meats packed with bold flavors. The brisket and ribs are standout dishes, complemented by delicious sides and tangy sauces. The modern atmosphere and attentive service make this place a must-visit for barbecue lovers. Highly recommended!

There were 5 of us in total and we got the large platter to share. The quantity was perfect for all of us, we even had some leftovers. The food was really good! it was my first time there, and i was definitely impressed and look forward to going back. Shoutout to the staff - they were friendly and really attentive. Overall such a wonderful experience :)

Had the cowboy sandwich very good

Came in on the weekday with a friend on a time it wasn t busy and the service and food were amazing. Genuinely a 10/10 service and my cowboy sandwich was perfect as well. Will be coming back with many more friends

We ordered the ribs and the brisket fries. Ribs were fall off the bone, super tender and delicious. The fries were crispy, sauces were delicious and brisket was very juicy. We loved the food and all the staff were very friendly too!

loved it

Nothing bad to say everything was perfect!!!

The food was amazing. Highly recommend the platter because you get a good variety. Service was amazing!

Sagar was amazing!!! Food was so fresh! Highly recommend!!!

Food was beyond amazing! The ribs were melt in the mouth, well coated in the BBQ sauce, the cowboy burger had the juiciest brisket patty, the fries were crispy, and the rice was fresh and flavorful. Service was par excellence! Dietary restrictions: Halal

As you can see, the meet is barely served in this 25$+ plate! The French fries are supposed to be a side dish but it was filling half of the plate! We paid extra for the Dun up which turned out to be the sauces on the French fries! It mentioned coming with pickles and coleslaw, I mean, look at the sizes of those items! What a rip off!!

Everything was perfect. Food was amazing and the service was top notch. Highly recommend.

I had the cowboy burger. It was a bit too salty and same with the fries too salty and a bit burned up my service. I pray success for the owners, but they need to just up their game quality for the food.

Food was

The brisket and jerk chicken fries were really good!

Food took a little while to come out but the front reception was wonderful and helpful in helping us pick our menu items. Definitely pricier overall in comparison to other options.

I loved the smoked ribs and loaded jerk chicken poutine. This is the only location that is HMA certified. Totally recommend Food

amazing food, amazing service, amazing vibes. super clean with very fair prices

Scrumptious!!! The brisket is juicy, jerk chicken is spicy. The ribs is the best!

The best bbq in town hands down! The customer experience, food and atmosphere is second to none. The family owned business made sure our food arrived on time and cooked to perfection. The Lady at the counter and the brother that served our food were very kind, polite and informed. I would highly recommend the whole menu because it s tooo goood!

Third visit to this restaurant and it is consistently excellent! A true gem for barbecue in Scarborough! Highly recommend a sharing tray to sample everything this place has to offer. Personal standouts: the beef ribs are legitimately fall off the bone tender, chainsmoker gold hot sauce which is not too spicy but very flavourful; best enjoyed on the grilled chicken and wings, and the fries dunup and mac and cheese are well worth the upgrade as sides. Clean and spacious dining room, comfortably seated our party of 6 and a child. Be careful as popular menu items, such as the brisket, may sell out if you choose to dine later in the day. Honestly torn between keeping this place a secret for myself, but this place truly deserves the business!

Delicious food and good service

I Love barbecue. Believe me, you must try this. Its delicious and well cooked. Price is very reasonable compare to other smokers in the city. Again very delicious and juicy.

Too good food and the service was amazing

Food is really good and made fresh. Service is excellent

Service was epic,food is amazing! Definitely worth it! Food : 5/5

AMAZING Steak and Ribs!!!! Loved the food and service!!! MUST TRYY

If your a foodie you will love this place. Food was top notch. Cant wait to return to fine establishment again.

The BBQ was actually really good. Beef Back Ribs is super tender fall off bone & quarter chicken was also extremely juice and fall off bone. Rice ia very flavorful. Mac n cheese not bad. Staff is extremely nice. Seating area is very clean and bright. Food is a lil pricey but understandable with rising food costs.

Fantastic food and Service

Food

Great food with great price

If you have been to backyard smokehouse you know what a good brisket is. It was okay not much taste to the brisket. The mac and cheese had little to no taste and the fries were from mccain. The lady running cash and seating people was the only thing that deserves 5 stars

Comes with a fork and knife but you dont need a knife to the brisket its so tender

Not into sweet sauce in my brisket. Couldve used a whole wheat bun, more fibre. Service was great. Ambiance is amazing; has a rustic look and aura.

The food is delicious. Seems like a family owned business - the workers are super sweet. I m a regular customer. No complaints.

I wish I can give them more than 5 stars! Excellent place, extremely friendly and hospitable staff, brisket and chicken are to die for and very generous portions.. will come back for sure

Alhamdulillah. One of the best halal BBQ places I ve been. Staff were very kind and service was great. 10/10 would go again

Absolutely delicious. The brisket was cooked exactly how I like it. The winge and burgers were unbelievable. I will definitely be returning

MashaAllah the food was really good and tasty .Very good customer service 5 star service .I will definitely go back again.

Best Ribs ever had.Nice and moist with all the favors Unfortunately we dont get in vancouver. Hope to see you soon

We ordered burger and brisket plate.( I didnt take a photo of brisket). Both were delicious and had great quality. Both recommend. The foods are halal and the staff are very polite.

Amazing place, hidden gem. Food was exceptional ! Haven t tasted such great halal food !

Very testy And good quality food ..and this location 100% halal .. I strongly recommend

I had an outstanding dining experience at this place. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, and the service was top-notch. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations. The food was the highlight each dish was a culinary delight. The smoked beef and chickens were especially memorable. Highly recommend!

Best brisket sandwich ever. Must come here again

Amazing food Top quality smoked Hand slaughtered Halal meat spot. Definitely visiting again.

Amazing food

Food tastes just like my aunts amazing cooking and the waiter looked so fine.

The pull beef brisket sandwich was amazing and the beef ribs are fantastic. I was skeptical about thos place because of its location but its legit!!

The food was really good and the front lady was very pleasant, our family was only disappointed to find products that we believe should be boycotted given the genocide that is taking place in Palestine and the moral ethics that all business should take on this topic.

great experience and liked the service provided by every staff member especially Ms Sauda

Really amazing place. Cozy ambiance and great food. We tried the smoked triple A beef brisket as well as back ribs, both were really flavorful along with great quantity of sides. The staff was amazing especially Sauda was really accomodating. Would recommend and visit again.

Delicious!!!

We were waiting impatiently for Carne Cartel truck to reopen at Brimley. Very happy to find they opened a brick and mortar here instead as another Chainsmoker. Food absolutely brilliant. Had regular fries and the fries don up. Cowboy brisket, jerk chicken and fried chicken sandwiches. Only thing we need is for them to bring back the eggplant for regular service. Oh and maybe some of the Filipino Lola influenced selections. Hint hint.

We order half pound brisket with dun up fries. Brisket was really juicy with an excellent smoked flavour. Dun up were just amazing as well. Service was great too. Highly recommended!!

The food at is amazing! Every dish is made with great care and has delicious flavors. It always tastes really good and gives you a wonderful food experience that youll love. Each bite shows how skilled the chef is, making it a top-notch dining experience. I suggest it to anyone who wants to try really good food.

Amazing food and service. Sooo good

AMAZING food LOVED IT , really happy that I found this place.

Amazing food and service! We ordered the beef brisket, jerk chicken, Smoked Brisket Fries . All were great choices and large serving sizes.

Delicious barbecue very carefully and thoughtfully cooked and presented... Really nice quality sides and all at a reasonable price... for barbecue anyway... If I had to think of a criticism Id ask for more options on the barbecue sauce... the default setting for barbecue sauce is rather spicy;)

We enjoyed our dinner at Chainsmoker Urban Halal barbecue. The meat was very good and the service too. The place is clean. I recommend if you like barbecue. The lady was nice. The portion size was big. In fact it was too much for my husband and I. I give you 4 stars and not 5 cause as we were full we asked to take the food to give it away. We got boxes but when my husband asked a little bit more sauces. We were told it was extra. We paid 140 cad for the meal and I think it would have been nice as a gesture to give some sauce for free. Other than that we wish you all the success. And we will be visiting again for sure.

A smaller, quaint, but refined family owned restaurant. Customer service is top notch, and price for quality and serving is more than fair. The food is absolutely amazing, with a small variety of smoked meats that can satisfy a wider variety of tastes: melt in your mouth brisket, quality bone in ribs and chicken, or a spicy jerk chicken. The food will not disappoint. Even the sides taste elavated, with a creamy but balanced mac n cheese and seasoned fries that will keep you wanting more. With the scarcity of smoke houses in Scarborough, I could not reccomend this place more.

Really nice staff and customer service. Food is really tender and tasty

I think we found our favourite halal bbq spot. The food was so flavourful - we got the bbq ribs, brisket and jerk chicken. Everything was amazing! The service was excellent - the lady working the front was so sweet and attentive to our needs. The only thing I hope the team can work on is expanding the parking space. Limited parking spots. Will definitely be back!

The food here is top notch. Worth a try for sure!

Great service and food. We came late and they stayed open half an hour after closing for us. Highly recommend

Very generous portions and they have the best ribs in Toronto. Shout out to Saad for the amazing service

The owners are lovely and attentive. Great food!

We took beef brisket and grilled chicken and both were awesome. Beef was soft yet nicely textured. Spicy grilled chicken was done to perfection. Cant go wrong with fries or rice dunup as sides. 5 stars!!!

Great food, great vibes. Definitely recommend especially if you want halal bbq.

Good food! Great beef brisket! Try it out guyss!!

Best halal brisket in the GTA by far. Service at this location is amazing. Will keep coming back! :)

truly scarboroughs hidden gem i can t stop coming back here!! the brisket is to die for; no one does flavours like these!! i will definitely be coming back :) Dietary restrictions: Halal friendly Kid-friendliness: Baby chair available!

An Exceptional Halal Barbecue and Brisket Experience - 10 Stars Out of 5! I recently had the pleasure of dining at what I can only describe as a hidden gem in the world of halal barbecue and brisket. From the moment I walked through the doors, I knew I was in for a unique culinary experience. If I could give this place 10 stars out of 5, I would because they absolutely deserve it! #### Ambiance and Atmosphere The ambiance of the shop is a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The decor features warm, earthy tones, wooden tables, and stylish lighting that creates an inviting and cozy atmosphere. Whether youre dining with family, friends, or even solo, the setting makes you feel right at home. #### Service The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff greeted me with warm smiles and were genuinely enthusiastic about their menu. They were knowledgeable about the dishes, made excellent recommendations, and ensured that my dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. Their attentiveness and friendliness added a personal touch that enhanced the overall experience. #### The Food Now, lets talk about the star of the show the food. As a lover of barbecue, I have high standards, and this place exceeded every single one of them. Heres a breakdown of what I tried: **Brisket:** The brisket was an absolute revelation. It was perfectly smoked, with a beautiful bark and a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. The flavor was rich and smoky, with just the right amount of seasoning. Each bite was a symphony of taste and texture. **Ribs:** The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, with a succulent glaze that was both sweet and tangy. The meat was juicy and flavorful, with a smoky aroma that tantalized the senses. **Chicken:** The smoked chicken was another highlight. It was incredibly moist and infused with a delicate smoky flavor that didnt overpower the natural taste of the meat. The skin was crispy and seasoned to perfection. **Sides:** The sides were equally impressive. The coleslaw was fresh and creamy, providing a perfect balance to the rich meats. #### Attention to Halal Standards One of the standout features of this barbecue and brisket shop is its commitment to halal standards. As someone who observes halal dietary restrictions, it was incredibly reassuring to see the care and attention to detail that goes into ensuring all the food is prepared in accordance with these guidelines. This dedication not only provides peace of mind but also means that the food can be enjoyed by a wider audience. #### Value for Money Given the exceptional quality of the food and the outstanding service, I found the prices to be very reasonable. The portions were generous, and the overall experience was worth every penny. Its clear that a lot of love and effort goes into every dish, and it shows. #### Conclusion In conclusion, this halal barbecue and brisket shop has set a new standard for me. The combination of mouthwatering food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone who loves barbecue. Whether youre a barbecue aficionado or just looking for a great meal, you wont be disappointed. I cant wait to return and try more of their offerings. Bravo to the team for creating such a remarkable dining experience! 10 stars out of 5, indeed!

Excellent food and customer service

BEST halal brisket in town! Ive been a customer of the Etobicoke location for some time now and always dreaded the long ride to get there. When they opened their east location, I hoped it would be as good as the first, and my hopes were well-founded. This location is even better! The food is just as delicious, and the people working there are so friendly.

We ordered a big order for Eid, and 40/40 people loved the brisket! We also got chicken, which was also good. Customer service 10/10. Keep it up guys, you re doing a great job! Will come see you again and again
