We went at 430pm for early dinner. Fried rice was lovely. Chicken curry was ok. Waitress had to ask 3 times if we wanted chicken on top, as she kept forgetting the order and did not write it down. She also pointed to a bar chair when asked for a high chair (we had baby in hand, making it obvious it was for a baby). The restaurant was sweltering. I thought we were in a 3rd world country because it was so hot. This place survives due to its meals, not because of the restaurant setting itself. For the takeout, they are very stingy with their pepper sauce and only gave 1 small container.

Fantastic food! Prepared well. Super friendly. A great low key lime with great food! Curry duck is a must! Veg fried rice and low mein was fresh and made to order. Fantastic experience!

Quick review! Absolutely horrible food. I ordered fried rice and chowmein today. Honestly, very bland , no taste. For a Guyanese Chinese restaurant I expected bora and lots of green onions and a tasty set of food without the use of a frozen vege medley. The chowmein is a dry set of noodles with a shimmer of vege and no green onions. Hot sau e is also spoiled. Bad smell with a white froth sitting on top.......From the time I called in to order, the girl answered the phone by saying hi, no acknowledgement of the establishment. She even got my order wrong even though I repeated it 5 times. I WASTED MY MONEY TODAY, PLEASE, IM WARNING YOU, DONT WASTE YOUR OWN. I'LL BE CALLING THE OWNER TOMORROW ASVISING HIM OF MY EXPERIENCE. 1st AND LAST TIME. YOU NEED TO IMPROVE IN SERVICE, QUALITY OF FOOD AND TASTE. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

Good Guyanese style Chinese food. The pork fried rice was very good . Definitely made in the Guyanese style . It was a very good portion for $15 . The mixed wonton soup was salty ,but the portion was way too small , I believe the price was $12 , and so the portion was at least half of what it should be. The total bill was $34 for I special fried rice , soup and one soda. I will go back to try the chow mien and the pepper shrimp.

I ordered 3 dishes, the pepper wings was excellent. The chilli chicken was tasty but the coating flour on the chicken tasted stale. The mixed chow mein was just dry and noodles were hard. I'm sure the food here is better than this. If only the staff wasn't so busy, I could explain it to them

October 31, 2022

The food here deserves zero stars. We were looking forward to authentic Guyanese fried rice and lowmein. The beef lowmein was bland, they just slapped some sauce on the noodles. The sauce had no flavor, everything was bland including the vegetables. The sweet and sour chicken was like rubber. The fried rice had a slightly better taste but it was plain tasting. The jerk pork was the most flavorful. It's a disgrace overall that people can sell food like this. It was and I am not exaggerating, the WORST food I ever ate, period!

My mom and I worked with Paul from Timehri to cater my wedding on Sept 5th.The usual Guyanese (7 curry) dishes but with amazing taste! Everything w tasty and we received many compliments from our guests. From picky aunties and uncles to even some of our Canadian friends who never had Guyanese food - everyone loved it! Delivery was done on time and everything was great! I would definitely recommend Timehri Restaurant to cater your next event 👍

Great food!!

December 21, 2022

All week i was dying to go there for some food and drinks. Today i go with the wife. We ended up waiting by the bar area 5 minutes and not a soul came to serve us. Terrible service! This was at 3:20pm today. A bunch of guys were seated drinking at a table. Bad service if you plan on doing a walk in and sit down . Ended up at Starlite. Food was 3 dollars less per dish and immediate service with friendly staff. Timehri needs to brighten up the place and have wait staff for potential customers. $140 went to Starlite. Sad thing, i been to Temehri when it first opened in 98 when i was 27! Never going back.

December 21, 2021

I had my daughters wedding on August 14 and I catered veggie food from this restaurant. The two dish that cost me the most was no good, one was spoiled and I had to throw away and the other wasnt cooked . When I told the owner Pooran he didnt care, although there was witnesses that told him about it. He just didnt care about it. I just wanted to let everyone know what kind of person he is. And if you have any occasion booked with this restaurant I suggest you find someone else to catering your event. A professional business person would have tried to compensate me for my loss but he didnt care at all. If I couldve given him zero stars I would have. This is to let everyone know what kind of business man he is.

I catered my Hindu wedding on Oct 8 with Timehri Restaurant and the food was excellent. Pooran made the traditional west indian 7 curries menu items perfectly and I received so many positive compliments after the wedding on the food. I was very pleased with Timehri and especially Pooran s service and quality of food. He delivered all the food items to the venue on time and in generous portions and the food was fresh and tasty. I couldn t ask for a better caterer.

I missed this spot for years, thinking Timehri was an east indian restaurant. My bad. There are over 37 restaurants that we have tried, but some I prefer not to review, people have to make a living. We arrived after 1:00pm today Sunday, the net add indicated opened at 11:00am, so I figure, give it some time to get people in, but I was the only outsider at that time. The very polite waitress/bartender started cleaning up as they closed at 3:00am the night before. I figured arrrg.... but what a pleasant surprise. The foods were good and the wings were outstanding, well Im prejudice, because Ive had wings in too many places and these, are almost exactly like the original Chinese style, almost. here we go... Special Noodles and chicken- 2.5; Pork (also Chinese style (Zhuhai) 3.0 and the wings I give 4.5. The liquor seemed to be correct and the service was very good. fresh food. Will take my Ontario clients there just for the wings and I want to try their curry. The bartenders seem like very decent people.

If I could give no 0 stars I would. Please LISTEN to reviews! Everyone who mention the food OILY, BLAND and not FRESH is 100% CORRECT! Those who are saying it s fresh are good friends and been going years. He s only nice to them. Any newbie he doesn t care and his attitude tells it all. For a manager, he has POOR POOR costumer service skills and communication. Not even hello how are you Be a man! Not a grumpy beast! I advise anyone who s thinking to go here to save your MONEY&TIME! This place is garbage. Strictly for individuals who want to eat oil and can t cook!

To be quite frank I hadnt really heard anything good about this place but after living just around the corner for 15 years and then visiting 5 years after that and still seeing it around I just knew I had to go by and give it a shot and I have to be honest it was pretty good and priced fairly well with huge portions.

Have not been here for a few years. Here are the reasons why. My dad is first generation Guyanese chinese you can say because he was born and raised in guyana. He is in his 80s now.Owner debated with my dad he was not Guyanese. Let me tell you my dad seems to be prouder of being Guyanese then chinese Second my son and nephew were with us but we were told that because they serve liquor we had to take them out when we order. What was ridiculous was three times shortly after that Ive seen children same age and younger eating there ! My sister even said never again if rules are made up for different individuals

Extremely disappointed compared to first visit 2 years ago. Wontons were wrapped in egg roll wrapper. Black bean beef was 95 percent terrible veggies, flavour was substandard. Fried rice tasted burnt. A word of advice...retain a west been cook as there were too many unfavourable associations to what was clearly prepared by an asian cook. That being said it was ok Chinese food but a very poor excuse for West Indian Chinese food. The 24 hour drive was not worth the $80 bill. At best this was a $20 meal.

Its a cozy little place to spend the evening with family & friends. Friday night is Bollywood karaoke night. The singers are good & if you think you can sing, you can do that too here. The fried Chicken, chicken wings, jerk chicken is absolutely fabulous. Yes, this place serves booze too. The choice is great. Must visit place for a memorable evening.

Manager is really illiterate and rude.Food smells good but when i ate it i feel like the oil used for this food was so bad and bitter. my experience in this restaurant as a service by waitress was mind blowing she was coming again and again to ask me and my friends about any thing we need but the only thing i hate about this restaurant was the rude behavior of manager and the taste of bad oil in the food.
