Barans Turkish Cuisine & BBQ in Scarborough

The food was great. The portion was not great but our experience with the server, Asif, was disappointing. His lack of professionalism made the table feel uncomfortable. When one of my coworkers gave an additional tip, he reacted angrily, stating, I told you theres a 15% tip already added. My coworker explained they were aware and the extra was for him, at which point Asif immediately changed his demeanor and started acting differently. His expressions and tone were unprofessional throughout the experience. I would strongly recommend training for him to improve his service and communication skills.

The food was dry, and I would honestly rate it a 2.9. While Asif tried to maintain professionalism, it was clear he wasn t fully invested in his role. Overall, the experience felt uncomfortable, as his demeanor suggested he doesn t enjoy this job. Improvement is needed both in food quality and staff attitude to enhance the overall dining experience.

I brought my mom here for her birthday we absolutely loved it. I felt like I was being transported straight to Istanbul. Our waiter Asif was so kind and even got talking to my mom about Turkish TV dramas, he has a great personality. He also filled our water whenever it was empty and was sure to check in on us to see if we wanted more food from the menu. Speaking of the food it was delish! My sister got the Ali Nazik and she loved it. The food came out in amazing presentation and you didn t have to wait long. Lastly the atmosphere was so cool and welcoming. There was a live band playing and although we don t speak Turkish it had us smiling and tapping our feet. Please come and try this red I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you to all the workers there, your hard work makes for a great customer experience, so thank you!

Turkish breakfast/brunch was nice but two big issues: 1. Coffee: they have only Turkish coffee and 2. Music: they were blasting Turkish rap all morning. Both ruined the moment. Food was nice.

The mix of veal and lamb results in a VERY juicy bite, with the extra meat juices that leak out being absorbed by the pita bread laid underneath, also served with a side salad along with a rice and orzo mix of the starch.

Good food , great presentation when serving it with fire. On the expensive side but a lot of food.

Attention to the restaurant owner The story begins like this... On Saturday night, my girlfriend and I wanted to go to a restaurant with live music to celebrate our first anniversary, and we called the restaurant 1 hour before arriving at 8:00 and made a reservation. We came to the restaurant at 9:05 for 9:00 and the place was very nice. It was crowded, one of the employees arranged a good place for us, we ordered and we waited for exactly 1 hour and 10 minutes. Neither an appetizer nor a glass of water nor a fork came to the table. If you do not have enough staff, you have no right to victimize people. I was so angry that I stood up and waved to the waiter. I called me and told him that we came here to eat, our food arrived but we dont have a fork, there is no salt on the table, there is no water, we wanted raki but we couldnt drink it, we wanted to eat but we couldnt start eating because there was no bread, you have to say everything one by one and it comes 10 minutes after you say it, I know what you want on weekends. You are very busy, then you need to employ more staff just for the weekends. I dont care about the money I pay. I came there to be happy, but I left unhappy. The orders of the four people who came 20 minutes after us were ready at the table within 10 minutes. I think they were friends of one of the waiters, so there is no distinction between customers. As a Turk, I am ashamed to come to that restaurant. People make a lot of comments here and I know you dont pay attention to any of them because there are many Turks here. If some people do not come, the others will come anyway. This is a guarantee. I think you are full of customers. You have nothing to lose. If the Turks do not come, the Arabs will come. The Indians will come, the Greeks will come, but I I will never come back, I have nothing to say to your meals, but without bread, meals have no meaning, and when we want to pay the bill to please you, its ridiculous that you apologize and say, Im sorry, we wont charge you the $15 we should charge per person. I would like to pay more and be happy, because this is It was my special day and I was victimized. I will never come again and I will prevent those who want to go. You dont even deserve a star...

it was so expensive, food is good but they should have better options, it is very limited in the menu.

I ordered urfa kebab and it was very bad. It tasted terrible and had a strange aftertaste. The music was great and the service was very good.

Frozen meat! Could be dog s meat, no idea! No taste, chicken had no taste. One of the ground beef skewers was not cooked properly. Baba Ganouj was mayo & garlic!

One of the most entertaining, friendly and hygienic restaurants in Toronto, which reached its peak with the Istanbul band. (We cannot forget evin and F rat, of course, you are very good, guys)

Went for Iskender dish, but they didnt have it on the menu, so I went out lol.

We visit this restaurant first time with my husband,and we were not amazed at all! Took forever that the waitress came ! After all we were keep asking for water,napkins,salt , Etc Many stuff are in training,doesn t speak English at all ! Bread was cold!!!! We got calamari for appetizer,they were falling a part Price that they charge,the dish is really small! Stuff during their break eat in same place with costumes So overall this is not the best Turkish restaurant in Toronto ,there is much more amazing places,specially with their prices

Impolite stuff don t like this place Parking: Not much place to park Recommended dishes Turkish Breakfast Parking space

Terrible, Affereux, Es horrible, Terrible I have had so much restaurant experience that I have never seen a terrible business like this. A business with a live music concept demands a fee for it (under the name of couvert fee). You learn this when you ask for the bill. Many tables in the venue, including us, made the same complaint. I DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.

Amazing place with amazing food ,

The food was good, service was decent and the ambience was amazing. Just that it should have been a bit more flavor for my pallet. Food

Food had no flavour to it. It took them forever to bring out the food. You could get better food for less than half the cost!!!

For two kebab it can t be $29. I felt like I would go to Costco and buy 40 kebab for that money and eat at home happily as much.

I tried different Turkish restaurants have same issue food prices are higher than the other restaurants have broken plates . Service issue same delays all the time and this restaurant if u check menu they have prices of the dishes but not how many kebab chpos r wings comes in one order that s also misleading. Try any other restaurant with same food u gonna have good prices fare about their manu . Try Turkish in Mississauga Etobicoke u will have same issue.

Is so good food

Nice wheelchair accessibility. Wheelchair accessibility: Good Food : 5/5 |

Update: This place has gone expensive and the quality of the food decreased unfortunately.

Worst experience. Waiters are trained to give food recommendations & mislead on what the end price will be.

Unfortunately Barans has completely gone downhill since they first opened. Food, service, and atmosphere has taken a nosedive. This was my favorite Turkish spot but now I wont be going back. My last visit was in March and it was an undesirable experience to say the least, such a shame for somewhere that started out so wonderfully.

Great Turkish food, bread is a must with the garlic sauce!

Food was average with a lot of fat Service was very nice and the place was clean and well maintained. Honestly prices are expensive, I suggest either you drop down prices or keep the same prices and use better ingredients and better food quality. The place has a lot of potential.

Dry food possibly not fresh, impeccable service though

I along with my family members and relatives went to eat there. The food was good but they charged more money than food value. The quantity of food is very small but the amount of money is too much in compare to other restaurants in Toronto.

A LADYBUG CAME OUT OF OUR FOOD. A literal ladybug This shows they don t wash their vegetables. I hope they wash their hands. As a sorry they upgraded the lady bugged salad and took it off the receipt . Non of us werr able to eat after that. Truly shameful and disgusting experience.

Food

Very nice

Food was delicious, especially the meat (pause). A bit pricy but a great experience!

best kebab restaurant with great atmosphere

The food was delicious but, service was so disappointed. We were waiting more than 35 minutes for food and more than 30 minutes to get the bill.

First time eating here for Fathers Day with my family. Food was very good! Highly recommend the grilled food (salmon, lamb and veal, chicken shish) and of course the desserts (knafeh, baklava). The servers were attentive and had smiles on their faces. We will be back here regularly.

Celebrated Fathers Day and Eid with my family. Nazal was our waiter. He provided efficient service. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. Thank you we will be back.

it was delicious Turkish food

Thee food looked small at first for 2 people but after eating it was enough. The best delicious kunefe. Super fresh

Amazing food and customer service

Good food and service

This is a full octane Turkish Restaurant!! Energy is Nitro ... Enjoyed the live music and performance....the entire restro was on a music high !

Unacceptable

The environment is comfortable and clean, and the waiters are very enthusiastic. They also added scones for us for free. The barbecue is very juicy and delicious. My family likes it very much and will come back when I have time.

Service was fast - food and entertainment was great. I highly reccomend the beyti kabob and cheese rolls. They had a belly dancer and good music with an enthusiastic and engaged audience.

Very good bbq place.

This place is a great place for middle eastern food. We went there for co-worker retirement party. Grilled chicken, hand minced lamb and veal all looked very delicious. I Ordered chicken with vegetables tasted good. The price is very reasonable. Only reason 4 star instead 5 is not enough staff during busy time. Update: went there a few times during and after pandemic, they maintained food quality and service improvement. We are good with 5 stars .

Good and tasty Turkish restaurant. A bit on the pricey side

Their FB page said that there was an AYCE breakfast/brunch on Saturday and Sunday and when we went the servers said that it wasnt available. The food was just okay as well...

The place is horrible for what I can say.

This restaurant going to lie to people for live music, last year I came here and they had live music but tonight they are supposed to have live music however they lie to us when they call and ask them for live miusice

Such a bad experience though had good expectations because we come after seeing Instagram reels . We came 2 people, ordered all you can eat but it was worst experience ever, we got bread and fries and wait for food 15-20 minutes, then we got 2 small pices of spicy stake seash, which was 2 bite of meat after that we wait agin 10 minutes, and got another small portion of meat,, again wait 5 minutes for every items . And also I love a lot lamb but here lamb was wired test smell but beef and salmon was good . Specially we were so hungry, one of us has fasting today but this service killed our appetite eventually . So disappointed

All u can eat very expensive with super low food quality and service not recommended to anyone

Excellent atmosphere food and service (for got the names but two gentleman were serving ) we got all you can eat meat buffet at Iftar today it was fresh off the grill and tasty. Thank you for amazing service guys kudos

This was a lovely experience! Nazar was amazing in helping us testing all the menu.

Avoid wasting your money and time at this restaurant. Despite being regular customers since 2019, our recent experience was thoroughly disappointing. This visit marked our first one since their All you can eat menu. Despite being a party of six who ordered from the à la carte menu, the quality of food fell short of expectations, and the service wasn t as good as previous visits. It appears that the staff lacks proficiency in English, leading to misunderstandings in orders. We ordered a variety of hot and cold appetizers along with a rack of mixed kababs as usual. Unfortunately, the experience was distorted by unpleasant odors from the glasses, necessitating a request for replacements. To our dismay, our appetizers were promptly followed by the arrival of the rack of kababs, leaving us no opportunity to enjoy our starters. Our hefty bill amounted to $600+ for a meal that was below average in quality. We left the restaurant due to the unsatisfactory service. It seems evident that the restaurant prioritizes quantity over quality, heavily promoting their All you can eat option to attract more customers, despite an established reputation that should have sufficed.

So expensive. Doesn t worth the money for small portions. The food and service was great

Price and portion size didn t match, but the service was great shout out Nazar.

We had an amazing food and service! Nazar was an amazing server! I wish you all the best Nazar! You are an amazing guy!

Im not sure why this isnt higher rated, the food was excellent and the service even better! We had the grill menu for 2 which had an amazing selection of delicious meat, rice and veggies. For dessert we tried the kunefe which was out of this world, amazing end to the meal. Lastly they offer free tea which also happens to be delicious. I highly recommend this place to others. I am more than satisfied.

Just pass by this area, saw this place wanted to try, very good, enjoyed the food and the service. The sweet ( Kunefe) was brilliant. end with the tea what they gave kind of final touch.a satisfied dinner. Food

Amazing Turkish food as always! Nazar was such a kind and attentive host, especially as we had a small child.

Overall we enjoyed it but we were a bit disappointed when we were told we could not order a large portion of the menu because the kitchen was too busy of course we were not told this until after we had already decided what we wanted. The restaurant was not full. Parking: Parking is tight but there is a lot across the street

I recently went to Toronto with my family and we discovered Barans restaurant we were five people we were having dinner and we chose the all you can eat options. The food was very very fresh and tasty. Overall, we had a great experience but I would like to give a shout out to one of the best servers that weve ever had. His name is Unsal. He was above and beyond doing his job, and is very friendly and a hard worker!

Very nice place, tasty food and very nice service

Excellent place, excellent service and great food.

Food was delicious, great service and friendly staff.

tasteless and slow.

I had the worst experience at this all-you-can-eat place. It was more like all-you-can-wait. I sat down and told the waitress to bring me more chicken, but guess what? I only saw one piece of chicken the whole time I was there. I asked her why it was so slow, and she was like, Thats just how it is. Can you believe that? With service that slow, I lost my appetite. I just asked for the bill and it was $133 for two people! We only ate like four pieces of meat and some fries in the 45 minutes we were there. They brought us one piece of meat every 10 minutes. It was a horrible experience. If I could give it a negative star review, I would. Dont waste your money or your time going there.

Great friendly service, food was delicious and the restaurant was beautiful.

What a wonderful food, I preferred all you can eat menu, you can taste 14 different meat and also they have %15 percent off during Ramadan

Very saded by my experience at Barans as i have seen so much hype around it via social media. I guess the best rule here is DONT DO THE ALL YOU CAN EAT. They call it a tasting menu now. My rating is based strictly on management and how they handle this all you can eat situation. First, i was there for two hours. I was getting fed like a dog. They came and gave us one damn wing. It took very long for the meats to arrive, literally the first 30 mins, probably like 4 tiny pieces of meat. What was more upsetting is had I know for the price we paid for 4 all you can eat, i would have happily spent that on the platters and been more satisfied. The food is good, but my experience was horrible. Management needs to reconsider their all you can eat process is my suggestion Our server was amazing! And all the staff were super friendly.

Thant is the worst place ever the if you don t believe me go see it and experience it yourself

I promise you the worst service ever If you want to be disappointed, go to this place I won t say anything more ): Food : 1/5

I took my family there on April 07th for dinner. The food was terrible

Disappointed to see we ordered a grill platter for 2 to only get a platter with one side empty. This was $90 + which we both thought was ridiculous! I also asked the waiter if it was okay if I can just pray in the corner and he told me I couldn t do that because it s their policy? The whole restaurant was pretty much empty and majority of the people there were fasting. I was very upset about this because they serve halal yet they couldn t accommodate a little space for me to pray which wouldn t have taken more than 5 mins.

I wish there was a 0 star option Unbelievably terrible service .. Waste of time and money

We came around 6pm on a Thursday so it was not busy. The service was good, food came pretty quick. I guess some of the bad reviews were from when the restaurant was more busy. The food was very good, meat was amazing. I think the cost is a little high for the quantity though. Complimentary tea afterwards was nice as well.

I was there two-three days ago on eid and it was a catastrophe. Non of us liked the food. I didn t like my rice and salad it was sooooo mundane. It had good presentation but it was bad. My sister didn t like the food and my mom got SICK. I Was sooo disappointed I would have came here every week. I looked bad in front of my family for even taking them there. I felt I could ve went to naan kabob and got something better. Stay away from this place. The bill was 130 for three people. We had to literally call the server over for service. The place was empty no word of a lie. I want everyone to stay away from this place only good thing was the .

Come for the kunefe...stay for the kunefe

I have tried several turkish cuisines before. To be honest, this restaurant has nothing to say about turkish kebabs. But the service and atmosphere are good.

Great food and wonderful atmosphere.

A Turkish friend told us that this place doesn t have proper food , but I, as a non-Turk, thought the food was amazing !! We got the 4 person meat platter and the seasoning on the meat was A1 + the bread was super cheesy.

We was there long time ago. And back again...but seems owners changed or so but unhappy this time.... wish them to be better like before.

Went here last weekend with friends. Service is horrible & food made us sick. The waitress couldn t hear us (loud music) & didn t bring the sauces we asked. Two ppl ordered the same food but it came at different times. Music was too loud for that small area. They charged $15 extra for music, an additional surcharge on the bill & on top of it the machine is set up to ask for a tip!! Food portions are enough only for one person, but prices range from $28 - $80. A plate of 5 small calamari rings was $18. We all had stomach pain & upset stomach the next day after spending $80-$100 pp. Overall this place needs a better chef, smarter waiters & more space for a better layout of tables (it s too crowded). Very disappointing after their hype on instagram & other social media platforms. Don t go here!

BARAN is the one of the best restaurant with alcohol and music food is delicious

We ordered the platter for 2 and they charged us $148. $20 tip that was already on the bill. It was a few pieces of meat stale rice and expired vegetables! Very bad experience! Never going there again! Try going to another Turkish restaurant and avoid this one!

Giving 4 Stars because they don t serve the breakfast buffet anymore! Please serve the all you can eat breakfast buffet again This was our favorite breakfast in Toronto please bring back atleast once every month for all those that love it !!!

Best Turkish resturant in GTA, never disappoints with their delicious food and amazing services like Ünsal! Highly recommend it and ask for Ünsal! to be your server and he will go above and beyond with your expectations.

Had an amazing dining experience at Baran s restaurant, greatly enhanced by our waiter, Unsal. The food was delicious, and Unsal s service was exceptional. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and truly made our visit memorable. Big thanks to Unsal! Highly recommend.

I like this place, I host my 24 friends and Mr. Unsal helps us alot. He was so nice, fast service and so kind.

The food is very good and the service from Unsal was excellent

It s best restaurant, food is amazing and service our server unsal was really good and his service is the best

The most disappointing and disorganized service. Please avoid this restaurant - there are tons of other Turkish restaurants in the city that have way better food and service.

One of my newest favourite. Super delicious food, nice place and great service!

We got all you can eat meat deal. The place qas empty which on its own isnt a good sign. The food was salty and super oily. Also the worst part was the hair in our food which was a big turn off

Food was outstanding and service is super fast thanks guys for serving the tasty turkish food thanks.

Barans turkish Restaurant exceeded my expectations with their exceptional service and delicious cuisine. Unsal and Sevgi, two standout employees, went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend Barans Restaurant for anyone seeking impeccable service and mouthwatering food.

We went in for the all you can eat experience, and it was AMAZING! It was plenty of food, super tasty, fresh, and fast! The service was EXCEPTIONAL and the waiters were so lovely and kind. Highly recommend trying! Their tea is a nice way to wrap up the meal!

The food and the salad was terrible . The service so bad so slow , not going back again..! To expensive.

Don t order all you can eat. Its not worth it. The dessert they will give is a slice of pineapple and it s their dessert. 2/5

Dont order all u can eat. The quality of the meat was so bad. Too salty too fatty and smelly. Must be left overs from the entire week. The charged 15 $ per person for music which is too much. And tip is included in the bill. Dont pay more they were having good quality kebab before for normal menu not sure now.

Food is pretty standard for Turkish food. Nothing crazy delicious out of this world, personally prefer more flavour Turkish rice. Ordered chicken tawouk, cooked nicely, was juicy, but again lacked flavour.

Went there recently, excellent service with amazing food. The music playing was very enjoyable as well.

Great place for families and friends. th food is amazing.

We were there for women s day. There was 50% for ladies promotion for their all you can eat which means 68$ would be 34$. They forced all 8 of us even men to go for all you can eat. And at end 34$ food ended with 88 $ bill including music which was awful quality and mandatory tip and tax and gratitude. Which was very expensive and satisfactory for the quality of food . Foods were very oliy and gracey with bad smell. I didn t enjoy at all. Hope they can see and improve thier quality and service. It was very expensive considering low quality.

I expected more than this from this restaurant! They have many followers on instagram that courage people to visit this place, but the food is not that good. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was good, they had live music and I reserved in advance. The price is too expensive compared to their portions!!

Their Kababs delicious, but service and pricing isnt great

Our server was great but all the servers were keeping an eye on every table. Food was plenty and delicious. It exceeded our expectations. Prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend it.

The service is always great thsnks to Unsal. Delicious food and amazing orchestra. Süleyman and his orchestra knows how to entertain. Thanks all.

Perfect food, service and music. Unsal took care of us very well. His service was great.

I had a great night with my Friends. Suleyman Ergisi and Istanbul Band were very entertaining. Food was very delicious. Service of Unsal was perfect, fast and with no mistake. Thank you.. Food

This was our 3rd visit and I must say such a disappointment. First of all none of the serving staff knew English. They spoke in broken words. We ordered our main course and asked them about the complimentary Turkish bread. None of the staff were able to understand what we were asking for. The drinks that we recieve were mediocre. The main course was good. Problem arrived when they started playing live music. People started dancing rite in the middle of the seating area. While I was eating several women that were frantically dancing were constantly hitting my chair and one even hit my head. None of the staff were paying attention. I didnt mind the extremely loud music becuse it was understood but I was not able to enjoy my meal becuse I was constantly being disturbed by someones kick to my chair, elbow or hand to my head. All the staff were busy talking or watching those women dance. There overall service and atmosphere has gone down. If you like to dance like selfish moron. Please do visit this restaurant they will definitely entertain you to their extent. But if you want to go for a nice meal to enjoy with dignity then choose another restaurant.

Great food and great service. Loved the waiter, his name was Unsal. he was very nice and helpful with the menu and suggestions.

Beautiful interior and great food. Our waiter Unsal was wonderful and very kind in helping us choose delicious options from the menu.

This place was on my list to visit for a while so I decided on would try it tonight. I arrived at the restaurant around 6:50pm. We were greeted by the host who I asked if we had reservation. I said no and he said that there was a live show at 8pm and other reservations. I said it was fine and we would be done by 8pm. By the way, I could barely hear the host when conversing. We got seated. The restaurant had nice interiors. We waited for our server to come greet us and provide the menu. We waited for more than 10 minutes before I decided to grab the menu QR code stand off the other table. The server finally came and took our order. We ordered the Ezme, Chicken Kebab, Chicken Shish and a coffee. The Ezme was alright, although the portion was small. The two main dishes were good and tasteful. This is where the 1 star comes in. I was half way through my meal when a gentlemen came in and asked us if we could move tables across the restaurant. He explained that there was a reservation waiting and that they needed to make room for them. By this time it was 7:35pm. I asked, we have to pick up our food and move? The gentleman said, no no, you don t have to pick it up and proceeded to call a server over. This is when I said, it s okay, can I have a take out box, I m just going to leave . Another server came told us our coffee was ready but this was in the middle of the meal. Isn t coffee suppose to come before you get your food? The server brought the bill over and we paid. Before I even got out of my seat and gathered myself, the server was reaching over my shoulder and clearing the table. They didn t even give me a chance to get up off my chair before grabbing the plates. The service here was absolutely horrendous. Not to mention that while we were waiting for our food 15-20 minutes into us being seated that a server walked by and noticed we didn t have water. It s one thing to ask your guests to move before food is served but it s another to ask while in the middle of eating. Additionally, if you know you have reservations, don t seat people. Overall, the service completely put me off from going back.

wow. $31 for a small take out lunch. 12 pieces of coated fries the smallest portion of rice small salad chicken was good definitely over over priced pics to follow

The grills flame-infused flavor, juiciness, and tenderness stood out. The intentionally prepared food made for an enjoyable night in a calm atmosphere, fostering meaningful conversations. Im delighted my friend had a fantastic first experience at Barans Turkish restaurant.

The place is very cozy, clean, and attractive. Very few selected venues are available. It was unusual to miss Alexander Kibeb from the menu as a Turkish restaurant. It is a bit pricey compared to the portion of the food, but the food tests are great, and the service was amazing!!

Amazing fooooodddd and great service by Piumi . Absolutely beautiful foodddddd

The food is very good. Service is a little bit slow, but I would recommend this place.

My boyfriend and I came here for Valentine s day dinner. We ordered cold plate platter, fries and Mix grill for two. The service was terrible. We seen over 4-5 people get their food before us. They never asked once if we needed a refill or naan. We had to constantly call them down to bring us our stuff, but they had a man in a green shirt available to film their all you can eat meat cutting. We arrived before 6:30 and we finally received our food 7:30pm. After we were served our food no one came to ask if everything was good. No one attended to us unless we called them. We seen multiple people complaining and shaking their heads regarding the service. Our server kept apologizing but they seem to young, inexperienced and uninterested in making their customer happy. They need someone like Chef Ramsey yelling at them to be attentive and do their job correctly. The food was great but, service was terrible. I did not tip as it was not deserving. Do not recommend!!!

It was very good service and very good food. I try the all you can eat meat and was really worth it to pay that money to eat this meat.

Been waiting for more than an hour after we placed our order. Still no signs of serving our dinner.

We are sitting here for over an hour now. No sign of food. In the meantime one waiter came and asked us TWICE if we had placed and order and we said yes. Still waiting. I understand its busy because of the Valentines day today. But this is still super unprofessional. They did apologize but we are really hungry. Its been an hour for Gods sake.

Great food !

Amazing variety of Kebabs with great live music.

SCAM RESTAURANT WARNING: Called a few days in advance to make a reservation for all you can eat and when we got there they suddenly told us they dont have all you can eat... Drove from Mississauga and didnt eat all day in preparation and suddenly they dont have it when they told us on the phone they did. Then they tried to charge us $15 extra for live music so we quickly got out of there. No one go here

This is a long time turkish restaurant, great food and atomosphere, however dont expect great service thats for sure. We were 10 people , being friday night they had a live band which is great but be ready to not only pay 15 dollars per person and put ear plugs on for sure as it gets very loud. Presentation of food is amazing along with the flavours. service is a big issue, took over 1 hour to get our ordered food. it took over 20 minutes to get water even. not sure if they are understaffed or staff were ill. Parking: parking is very limited l, if there is not spot beside the building expect to park across the street in the plaza.

Worse dining experience evet.Rice and salad portions are joke. They litteraly portion rice in espresso cup. Adana was one skew $29 which effectively makes the price $60 for 50 gr Adana.

The waiters were very pleasant, polite and skilled, the food was served very well and we all started eating together.

My family and friends had a memorable family day brunch buffet here. Totally recommend!

I went on Saturday and the food was horrible. No flavour no nothing. I got a mocktail and it was good also the Calamari but sooo pricey for 5 pieces. The waiter was terrible too. Me and my friends were very disappointed. Will never go back and will NOT RECOMMEND! We got fooled for the interior and music.

I highly recommend be careful about your bill in this place, although the quality of food is good, as I noticed they are manipulating the bills, my bill was 95 dollar higher than what i have to pay for just two person , when I referred to owner he was too disrespectful and impolite and has tried to accuse his staffs. They add more extra foods and claimed you had ordered it . An other thing is, they calculated the tips for I and my friends on the bills but when the waiter brought the bills she adjusted the machine for 18 percent tips as default , and they had not let us know it was already on bill( but we noticed), be caution they dont make it double for you I rarely write negative for businesses but imagine what they did that forced me to write like this. Such a shame

Today we went for a light lunch. However, when we tried to order the mixed grill for 2 and 2 dips for 4 people, we were denied the ability to order what WE wanted. We even tried explaining that if the amount wasnt enough, we would order more later. What kind of establishment makes a policy to dictate what I can or cannot order? Would they have preferred us to order nothing and leave? Honestly, if we werent part of a bigger group we would have. Thankfully, the meat and bread (naan) were well-seasoned and flavorful. That being said, its unlikely that we will ever come back here.

Beware! You may be scammed. I recently visited this restaurant with wife and kids. We wanted to order individual items from the menu. However, the waiter suggested that we order a platter with mix meats, which would be cheaper $80. I expected to pay around $120. However, I was billed for approx. $250. The waiter said that we had ordered two platters. Be very careful. You cannot trust the staff. Not going back to this place.

I got the beyti kebab with tea and kunefe for dessert. This restaurant has a truly beautiful interior, amazingly delicious food and amazing dessert to go with it. The portions are very filling and satisfying. They also have great service with very kind people, our waiter was Nazar and he was great the whole time we were there. Definitely would recommend.

Barans is a Turkish restaurant in Scarborough. The food is flavorful and generously portioned. The prices are reasonable for the quality and variety.

Everything is good

Food was good. Waitresses were more attentive and helpful. We ordered 5 mixed grill meals for 10 people but not everyone has a lamb chop as supposedly included

Food and the way it was served was awesome, the live music was so fun; the band and the singer were really doing a great job, keep it up

Although we reserved, they gave us our table with delay and it took the server about 20 min to come and ask for our choice of drinks. Other than the service which got better after I complained, the food and the atmosphere were great. Whatever we ordered including Roki were great and tasty! There was a live music which made the night feel so much better.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Barans and my experience was nothing short of delightful. Despite a last-minute reservation, the owners accommodation was exceptional. The service surpassed my expectations, and the food was truly amazing. Whats even better, the prices were fair, making it a memorable and wallet-friendly experience. Highly recommended!

6 of 16 of us were sick after the meal. Diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain. Public health is involved. Service : 2/5

To be honest this is the first time I tried Turkish Cusisine in Canada. As per my liking I felt like the meats had little spices but overall it was good... The lamb chops were the best!!!

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Embarrassing food served to us tonight. The standards of this restaurant have fallen so low it s hard to believe this was once a place we enjoyed. The Adana kabob was once $21 and now $29, but the quality is so poor. Instead of 2 kabobs you get one cut in half, where the meat quality is less. You get a quarter of a tomato vs a whole with now a single slice of green pepper (lucky if you get two slices by accident), and a smaller scoop of rice!!! Couldn t believe it . The plate size keeps getting smaller. Even a small glass of ayran is $6 (the same as a bottle of beer). And the kicker - their $13 kanafa dosent have cheese inside (just cream on top) - what a joke of a Turkish restaurant. For 3 people it cost $150 with tip. NEVER AGAIN.

The place is amazing. Good food, great music, and good vibes.

Vegetarian options: There was no vegetable in the dish that we got for the 5 of us! Also was extremely expensive cannot believe it was about $586 + tax for 5 people which basically 2 of us almost didn t eat as the dish they brought for us it wasn t enough for all also without any vegetables ! We just liked the service and the music band. Food was good but could be better with the better price.

Quality/amount does not justify the price.

Naan and kabob is better andblarger portions better value rice taste better also. This place massive disappointment.

Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere. The ambiance was great! Loved the freshly made kunafa

Today was the worst day I had eaten in this restaurant. After the main course, I ordered more meat, the way the present it to us was very very bad. They brought to me 3 plates of meat without anything, no vegetables or any type of salad. Today I wasted my money. The service was bad. Don t waste money here.

Everything was wonderful! We really enjoyed the live music. The food was delicious the service was slightly slow but it s okay because it gave us time to enjoy the live music. And we really took our time and didn t feel rushed. Overall, great experience. Thank you!

Great place in my neighbourhood to enjoy family time. We had dinner here and food was delicious but very small portions. Service staff was nice and friendly. They missed one of the dishes we ordered but then quickly delivered when we reminded the server. Their Grill plater for 2 looks good but this is the only Turkish place, in my experience, where it didn t include Doners . Good family atmosphere and neat and clean place. We ll certainly come again and I hope their portion sizes increase

A group of 10 . Food was good I find it a bit pricey for the portions compared to other Turkish restaurants. Server was friendly.My big complaint is that they had added 99$ surcharges on top of the bill . This wasn t at all communicated to me. Not on the phone call I had with them and no sign of it. It was just added and make the bill extra pricey for what we receive. We also tipped on top of this total amount. It just left a bad taste with me. It would ve been nice if I was told about this in advance.

The Feta Cheese with honey dew is a refreshing and unique starter . It s a perfect blend of sweet and savory.

The Atom is fantastic for those who love a little heat . Smoked peppers on garlic yogurt are a great combo.

The chicken kebab is juicy and well-seasoned. A great choice for poultry lovers.

Great spot for large events like birthdays and anniversaries

I hosted a dinner at this venue with our supper club, and everyone loved it! The food was delicious and the staff were very attentive. I will definitely return.

We enjoyed being there woth family food is good music is wonderful service is perfect

Nice place to relish Turkish food

It was a different experience for sure. The sound of live music was louder, couldnt talk to others. The food was good. But very very pricey. Parking: Very conjusted parking. Not enough space to park.

Really delicious food! Came here for a Christmas work party. The kebabs are must! Nicely decorated spaced. Only complaint is the lack of drinks. Their drink menu is extensive but apparently the bar tenders don t know/can t make most of the drinks which was a bummer. If you can t make them then they shouldn t be on the menu

I came here with my husband on a Saturday without knowing what the restaurant was like we were just hungry and in the area so we stopped here for dinner and it was honestly the best dinner we have ever had out in a long time! we were so shocked that we stumbled onto a place with such great tasting food and they took us in without a reservation because we did come in a little early around 6:30pm but then the restaurant filled up very quickly as we were done dinner. If this place wasnt so far away from where I live I would always be coming here for dinner. 10/10 the food came out quickly the service was good and they gave complementary tea after dinner it was a 5 star experience.

Amazing! The food was unreal, the bread was delicious and the meat was soo tender!! The drinks were also very good

We decided to go and celebrate our friend s birthday party at this restaurant. I want to start off by saying they don t do all you can eat anymore which was kind of disappointing but that s okay. Our experience started off so nicely and the vibe was really nice. The food was AMAZING! After food, we were waiting for them to bring out the cake that we brought with us the server suggested that the band was gonna come out and it would make our friend feel special if the band sings for him so asked us to wait. We waited it 30 min but we were okay because we wanted a nice celebration for our friend. The band sang and we got our cake, we were very excited. However the owner or the manager not sure who he was comes while we are cutting the cake and asks us if we were staying for the performance. We expressed that we weren t planning on doing that then he proceeds by telling us well hurry up then. Look at the line at the door. We were taken back and he truly killed the mood. We went from having an amazing 5 star experience to that guy ruining our entire group s mood. Then he says if you don t leave we will charge you for the performance. That s when we got really heated and started arguing. The lady next to us was telling us how she was also having the same experience today and then they kicked her out! and Told her family to leave cuz she was causing issues. I m extremely disappointed and sad. What a buzz kill. Never going again.

The great one, I love their hospitality.

I went to this place for first time, I like kobideh, but other things it wasn t taste good, I don t think so my family comeback aging, it isn t my favorite, thanks

Excellent food. this was the third time. they never disappoint me. we had a 30 people party. their food is a big strength.

Tried this place yesterday and it was amazing. Quite an experience! Parking: Nothing to add Food : 5/5 |

I found this place on Tik Tok with great reviews and the food looked amazing! Upon arriving it looked like a Turkish family sharing place which was nice. We were seated and given the option for a physical menu or a scan the bar code type. At this time we were informed that there was different pricing on each (physical had one price, the scan had a different as per price increase) ok remember this! We order the Saksuka to start, it was very tasty, we then got the grill for two, it had chicken wings, lamb chops, chicken shish, beef shish and a lamb/veal shish. It sounds like a lot of food, it really wasn t, the portions were very small (one grown man size). We didn t care because the food was perfectly cooked and spiced and the flavour was on point! The Service was very good. They were extremely polite and helpful with the menu. The reason I did not give 5 stars is because of the bill. On the scan menu which is the updated pricing it said the Grill for 2 was $80(up from $60 which would have been more reasonable) I did not look at the bill until I got home and noticed I was charged $90 for the Grill for 2 .That is outrageous for what you get and I left a good tip. Other than being duped out of $10 bucks plus tax it was a tasty place to eat ( just not the right value for what you get)

Delicious food
