Amazing food. Really hit the spot and was incredibly tasty. I was pretty surprised we got in, I was expecting a wait but we got seated quickly. The staff are amazing and the food really hit the spot.
A colleague and I have been going to Timmins like 2 or 3 times a year bc of work for the past 2 years, and just now we discovered Siva's. We went the whole week, every day they offered something different and extremely good. And the people there are so nice. All the best, "amigos" !!
First time. Had their Sunday brunch. Evan as we were getting our drinks, the owner (not knowing us) was already coming over to thank us for being in his restaurant! Great service in general and good food. Looking forward to seeing the updates they are putting in.
Visited for our Wednesday night our and was very pleased with experience. I like a little quieter environment, and here there's just a bit of radio in the background. It was pasta bar night, but we ordered off the menu. My husband was pleased to find they offer all-day breakfast. I had the Reuben sandwich with side Greek salad. There are so many side options. We had great service, and the owner visited the table to ask if everything was to our satisfaction.
What can I say about Syva's. Best service, genuine and kind ppl, and as soon as you walk in you are Always greeted with a big smile 😊 and hello. The food is always fantastic and the Portions are huge. A friend and I shared this lasagna, and the picture does not justify the portions. We both had a full plate with 1/2 of this lasagna, salad, and a garlic bread. Whether I order to go or dine in, the Food is fresh and appetizing. Also had the best chicken burger Ever. Imagine, the chicken, large and thick, and actually fits the large bun it was served on. Yummy
Came with a group and we averaged our liking to 3 stars. Food selection is huge and staff were all super friendly. Few issues was that there was no knife to cut the meat so when no slices were available, we could not have. Unless you wait for a worker to come by and cleave. Desert was yummy and felt very home made. Seating is plentiful as well
Went to the Monday night pasta bar. Dish was made right in front of me. You could choose from several different items. I choose to let the chef (owner) decide. He made a lovely seafood pasta. The staff was amazing and the price was right. A++ would go again to try other days specials.
Classic family restaurant. Its located in the Timmins Square Mall.
We celebrate our anniversaries and birthdays there and enjoy our meals. Wonderful staff and service always.
Ordered over 2 hours ago. Called after 1 hour and they said the order was on the way 10 minutes before. I imagine that even if I got the food, not going to be too good after 1 hour in a vehicle.
Always Great food and excellent service. Keep up the great work!
Great place for a burger and fries, clubhouse and breakfast buffet. Everything Siva makes is actually wonderful. You really feel the personal touch here and there is a place for the kids to play! Kid-friendliness: Childrens play stucture and seating close by. The kids love it.
Kind waitress and cashier.. good customer service. Ill be back to check this place out better
Went for breakfast buffet. As always, food and selection was great
Horrible service! My food wasnt cooked all the way through, couldnt get refund! Never going again!!!!
Amazing food. Amazing service
June 18, 2024 I enjoed eating at Sivas Family Restaurant. Our server Kyla was friendly and provided pleasant service. Food was delicious and atmosphere was quiet. Highly recommend eating here. Amazing staff & owners and we would like to thank our server Luc for excellent customer service. Delicious food...highly recommend the fully loaded poutine.
Went for fathers day and was amazing family friendly and welcoming atmosphere......we felt like we were part of a big family !!
Was looking for a local place to grab dinner while staying the night and this did not disappoint
Service was awful. Our server forgot that she hadnt taken our food order. And the food was just okay.
Got the garden penne and chicken Alfredo. Serving size and taste were good for the price. Curiously the entire New Burger Planet menu is available here. I desperately want to know if they just deliver it between restaurants. Restaurant is owned by the broths of New Burger Planet, and the waiter was there as well. It was a quiet night, and the owner came round to chat, started with the same line as his brother. They seem to be good hosts. Vegetarian options: I had a vegetarian pasta dish. There were other vegetarian dishes on the menu. Parking: Largest parking lot in Timmins
Good food, fast service, friendly staff! Try the Cheeseburger Poutine ... always good!
Always a must when Im in Timmins. Great food and service at fair prices. Owners and staff are great to talk to as well
Top notch food, excellent service, a cozy space to enjoy a meal. This is a must try for anyone new to Timmins as this restaurant is one of the best and serves a healthy variety. If youre hungry, youll find something to enjoy here.
Mr. Siva is a wonderful host who comes to your table to greet you. The food is great, the staff is attentive and you leave happy. Kid-friendliness: There is a room at the back for children to play. Wheelchair accessibility: They make room at tables for wheelchairs.
Couldnt have asked,wanted or needed more ... Miigwetch
Very welcoming, clean, and in a great location. Staff were so nice! We all had steaks which were made to order. Weve also had the brunch buffet a few times which has a great selection of tasty food. Highly recommend Sivas.
Kid-friendliness: Nice Food
Parking: Not sure about number of spots but I think 200 car can get parked at one time. Kid-friendliness: It is kid friendly Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessibility to this restaurant
Good atmosphere friendly staff..and the owner acknowledging his customers presence is a nice touch..
Large family-style restaurant. I was expecting a few more homemade things though. Attentive and fast service during dinner time
On every visit, the owner takes the time to go around the restaurant, greeting each customer personnally in order to ensure everyones satisfaction. There is a good selection of food and I especially enjoy that the gravy is made from scratch and gluten free so I can enjoy a very tasty poutine once in a while.
I love Sivas pasta nights.. him and his brothers cooking.
Terrible,terrible,terrible. The buffet on Friday Dec16th was over cooked and scarce. The attendant was clueless on keeping up with the crowd but so was the owner. I counted twelve times he was asked to cut slices off of the pork and beef roast, only to cut several slices and leave, with a line up of people waiting again. The lasagna was way over cooked to the point is was actually black. I could go on but why. The family that ordered from the menu were happy with the meal and price so not all bad I suppose. I spoke to the owner who had nothing to say . This was so disappointing for a family dinner of twenty. Never again which is sad considering the lack of choice we have in this town. The server was good. Parking: Lots
Veey good buffet very great service will come again
Great service. Waitress super awesome and very attentive. Good prices and value. Friendly staff and environment. Would eat here again and reccomend to others!
So good !!
The soups were delicious, the staff were very courteous, and its a kid friendly restaurant with a play area - very cool!
Absolutely love pasta bar nights.
Great hospitality service, food is fresh.
Ate there the other night service wasn t great. The fries were over cooked. Gravy was really lumpy and will not be eating there again. This is the second time that the food has been below standard.
ALWAYS a good time at Sivas. Been coming here since I was a child. The brothers are great. Staff are friendly and provide exceptional service. my favourite restaurant in Timmins. Parking: Mall parking lot Kid-friendliness: Small playground for children up to 10 years of age.
Overpriced, slim pickings, flavorless and dry food. Not the place it used to be.
Vegetarian options: Totally disappointed
Kid-friendliness: I let my kid pay the delivery and when my child told him to keep the change the delivery guy made it seem like my son was the best customer of his day. P.S. I called the restaurant and ordered my food. No online apps here
A friendly atmosphere. Amazing food. Best restaurant in Timmins!
Good service, great food and good value
Good customer reception. Smiling service. On-time service. Good follow-ups during the meal. Poutine, shepherd and excellent onion rings.
We enjoyed our dinner at Sivan s, t bone steaks, loaded potatoes, soup and salad bar and awesome cheesecake. Closest to home cooking when on the road. The waitress was pleasant and attentive and the owner remembered my husband from dining there 15 years ago, even what he ordered! A highly friendly crew and delicious food. We will be back
The service was fast and the food served was prepared on site and not frozen.
I would suggest never going here.... the service is horrible.... ordered a soup of the day to start off with as I sat down...20 min later, still no soup....10 min just to take my order, but she could serve others that came in after me and behind me..... terrible....I got up and left I was so disgusted
If there is chicken pesto pasta to be ordered, I m ordering it.. had to have been one of the best pasta dishes I ve ever had! Fresh pasta and homemade sauce
Delicious food and awesome service!
We placed an order for two meals. Literally took well over an hour to be delivered. It was not hot. Most disappointed.
Kid-friendliness: Childrens play room. Food
Really good food and very friendly staff.
We got there, and from outside it looks like not much but inside was very clean and had that mom and pop shop vibe. The service was extremely good. The lady that worked when we went was super nice, she had to leave as her shift ended and the transition was flawless!! Everyone was nice and they took great care of making us feel welcomed.
Friendly and good food
Sivas has always been a go to place when we wanted to have variety so we would hit up the buffet. The last few times unfortunately has been a bust. We were told from the waitress herself that some of the food was from the prior night and you could tell as it wasnt fresh at all, this was very disappointing especially given the price of the buffet itself isnt cheap. I really hope it was just a bad day but we had another experience prior that was also disappointing. Lesson learned to always order from the menu if you want your food to be fresh.
Love this place!
I travel to Timmins consistently on business and Siva s is a restaurant that I will gladly return to every time I am in the city, the food is great, portions are generous and the service and atmosphere are very friendly and welcoming.
The food over there is really bad. It looks good but the taste was bad.
Food was great, server was okay a little short with us, but over was fine. The restaurants atmosphere is a little dated, but its clean so thats a win!
I regularly travel through Timmins for work and usually try to have lunch here. Friendly staff and owner, great prices, and consistent food every time.
Love this place.
Food was amazing! Pasta night (Wednesday) - got to choose your pasta, meat, sauce and extras. It was all cooked in front of you. Chef and staff are friendly and customer oriented. Very tentative and approached customers to see how everything was. Great atmosphere. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely be returning.
Ive experienced both dining in and taking out from this restaurant, and they truly excel in customer service. When I accidentally ordered a meat burger for delivery, thinking it was veg, I called to clarify. They quickly realized my vegetarian preference and replaced it with a veg burger at no extra cost, even covering the delivery fee. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is remarkable.
Great place, food was great , keep up the great work
All the staff are super friendly and you can tell how good quality the food is. All of the food is amazing, the people are friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable and clean. Vegetarian options: Pasta salad, rice, mashed potatoes, cookies vegetables and desserts. (+) Parking: Right beside Timins mall Kid-friendliness: Highchairs, friendly staff Wheelchair accessibility: Tables you can take chairs away from
The lack of listening to me was a problem. If I asked about a dish it was assuming I wanted it. Getting information about the menu wS problematic.
Coffee was fresh, service was great. Ordered the Jambalaya Penne, food was delicious and portions were more than I expected. Will be making a stop everytime Im in town.
Very friendly staff. Food was great and nice sized portions. Price was very affordable as well. We will definitely be returning.
Good food..family restaurant
Friendly owners and staff. We had coffee, sandwiches and fries. Lots of food, seating and parking. Other visits we have had their popular buffet. Always fresh, good food!
Everything was great except the scrambled eggs, in the buffet container the top of the eggs were hard like they were sitting for half a day before putting them out. They didnt even look like eggs really. Looked kinda like powdered tofu. Other than that it was great! Food
This team is phenomenal! Timmins is fortunate to have Sivas. Very welcoming. Excellent service. Food : 5/5
the order was excatly what we ordered. the food tasted very delicious. the service exceptional. Food : 5/5
Hidden gem in Timmins! Delicious and friendly service! Food
Good food
Food was excellent as always
Great food and they remember that I don t like mushrooms. Friendly service. Food is awesome.
One of the BEST family restaurants in Timmins!! Awesome service, very friendly and helpful staff. I had the two piece Fish n Chips - BIG portion for a VERY reasonable price!!! And to top it all off it was YUMMY!!!
Best food I ve had in a long while. Tasty and homemade. I would definitely recommend Siva s!!!
Excellent food from excellent people!! Delicious!!
Best Brunch with the family! My little son says the seasoning on every single entree is perfect!! best waffles too
Food was delicious has usually service always awesome great staff
Amazing service and food as always. I had a steak and boyfriend had beef and chicken stir fry - it was just as good as leftovers the next day
As usual dinner was delicious!
The food has vastly improved in quality and freshness. The service is quick and pleasant. Good family restaurant. The decor could use refreshing especially in the separate room.
Typical small town diner with a binders worth of menu options. Prices were low but so was the quality. Friendly staff. Ordered hot turkey sandwich steamed (from frozen) veggies were cold and soggy, mashed potatoes were cold, turkey was stale and had lumpy soup skin gravey. Bland.
Best Caesar salad I ever had!
This is a great restaurant to get pastas made for you right in front of you. The owner and chef is generous he uses vodkas to spice his sauces with a flambé. The salad is fresh with plenty of cerise tomatoes and 2 kind of lettuces. It is a great value at less than 20$. I will be back!
Excellent service
Fantastic food, fantastic service! Its not every day you get the taste of a homecooked meal in the form of an all you can eat buffet. Thank you to the staff at Sivas who work hard to provide such a wonderful experience
Amazing food, atmosphere & customer service
Nothing special here. Expect your standard fair. Dry over cooked fries medium burger patties that need help and salt. Old lettuce in the Ceasar salad with dry lemons to squeeze. Powdered gravey etc etc. Im sure they had something special with the 4.5 star average but the luster is definitely gone. If youre after tier one Sysco food they definitely have it. The lunch hour dance music and over the old buffet booze display is quite interesting
Pasta bar was a nice experience and staff very friendly and helpfull
Great atmosphere and food is great
Always great food, and friendly staff.
Great service
Delicious Food & Pam the waitress was very Courteous.
I travel to Timmins fairly regularly for business and usually stay at the Holiday Inn, typically not venturing too far from that area so haven t tried Siva s before today. My colleague and I went to Siva s for dinner and we were both really pleased with the food! The prices are extremely reasonable, large portions and good quality. Best of all was the service, all the staff we came into contact with were very friendly and professional. One gentleman, who may have been an owner or manager, chatted with everyone like they were old friends and checked on several customers to ensure they were enjoying their meals. Our new favorite place in Timmins, we ll definitely return!
Parking: Lots of space Kid-friendliness: The play area
Our order didnt come to us on the time it was suppose too. I called the restaurant and was told that there was a problem with the printer. They processed the order and had it delivered with salad as an extra for the delay. The dinner was good.
Good service and they Grill the steak in front of customer. Steak and smoothies Taste really good
Wonderful food. Large helpings. Very friendly service.
Awesome food Friendly and good customer service
Went for the pasta bar and it was delicious also the service was above and beyond
The pasta bar was amazing
Excellent home made food. Definitely worth checking out. Breakfast, apps, burgers, sammies and more. Lots of seating.
Good food, great variety, excellent service. Will be back for sure.
Sivas has always been one of my favourite treats when passing through Timmins. Parking: Plenty of free parking. Kid-friendliness: Family and kid friendly.
Amazing food and great service!
My family did not enjoy our dinner experience at this restaurant. The food (meat, potatoes, pasta) was not of the highest quality. The only bread on the buffet that night was a bag of wonder. The desserts were of poor quality. I would say, the cleanliness of the buffet, and the restaurant in general could have been better. Then we receive our bill, and for 3 adults, and one child, it came to $112.00 !!! I couldn t believe my eyes. For that experience?? So the next night, we went to wacky wing and paid $67.00 with good generous portions.
Thanks again for another great meal. Pasta done to your liking every time, best pasta and service in Timmins
Used the online ordering option which was very easy to use and was quick and efficient. The food was very delicious and tasty.
Good service and food is very good
Extremely disappointing!! After reading the reviews about amazing food and a 4.5 rating, we decided to stop and get some take out. I ordered chicken souvlaki that had NO seasoning, barely any rice and NO potatoes!! What chicken souvlaki comes with no potatoes?? The Philly cheese steak came on a pita and again didnt have much seasoning. The only thing decent about both meals was the salad. Would not recommend this restaurant if you dont want to get ripped off!!
Great family restaurant, has been there for many years. I usually visit there everytime I travel up there
Words cant describe how good it is! Food was wonderful,the staff was very friendly.I met the owner (Siva)he is a wonderful person I ever meet.Thank you!!
The food was great.good service waitress Debbie and you felt like you were home Parking: Timmins square parking lot Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get to the restaurant
Anything we order from sivas is delicious Weve been eating or ordering from there for over a decade Kid-friendliness: The kids love eating there and have all eaten there since they could eat lol My kiddies range from 10 to 24
Siva is the man! Gets me out of trouble all the time.
Went to Sivas for lunch with my mom. The service was excellent, the waitress was awesome; very friendly and all smiles. The food was great, well prepared and tasty and quick! We love going to Sivas!
Good food, great service, good prices
Always good food as far as Im concerned. Definitely hard working people there. I hope they can do dine in soon. Not just for me but for their business overall to do well. My aunt ordered lunch from here for my birthday. It was great and her and my cousin were very impressed that pretty much everything is available to order for take out or delivery. We have looked at many menus online over the course of the lockdown and so many places have cut down their menus by up to half. Its understandable but for a birthday lunch she wanted something a bit more special. Even with a much larger menu available currently then pretty much any other place for take out. The food was awesome and still warm when we got it. Which included striploin steak and chicken stir fry. Plus the personal nachos which were still great. There was even a piece of birthday cake included..
My friend s mother was terminally ill. I contacted the Siva s Family Restaurant via their web page & sent an email that I wanted to get some food ordered & delivered. It was a Sunday morning. By early Sunday afternoon I received a phone call from Siva Mylvaganam. He helped me with meal suggestions & told me he would make anything I wanted. He made & delivered 8 complete meals that were awesome. He also did not charge me a delivery fee. A very compassionate man. The family said the food was amazing. I would order from this restaurant again. The food is excellent & affordable. I would highly recommend them for any event you need food for. My sincere thanks to Siva & his restaurant. You Rock!!
Excellent service and the best pasta bar north of Toronto. Try the seafood pasta - all is made to order before you. Clean family-styled restaurant operated by honest, community caring people.
We just arrived in Timmins for the night. Have never been to Timmins before and stumbled on this restaurant. Our group had burgers, pulled pork, clubhouse, Philly steak, and corned beef. Everything was excellent!
The food is very tasty, fresh and appetizing. The waitress was a bit rude, did not clean the table and barely welcomed us when we walked in - seemed like she was having a really bad day or hated her job. Overall the food was very good though
Nothing special about the food. Even low quality Don t know where this 4.6 comes from Severe hygiene problem. The table is not cleaned
Always hands down the best food in timmins.
A decent place to eat at. The service was quick and very friendly staff.
Its very helpful and friendly thanks to everyone who works in the testament specially to owner thanks again
Went for the breakfast/brunch buffet which was not good, had very little taste. We were also very uncomfortable as none of the staff were wearing their masks properly and when we talked to the owner, he refused to wear it. Never going back.
I am in Timmins for a few days and when I was looking for a place to eat I found Sivas Place and so I read the reviews. The review that said a person who works there was not wearing his mask made me feel comfortable about going there because he may empathize with me and also follows the ontario reopening act and human rights laws on mask exemptions for those with a disability. I was happy because I found a place that I could feel safe from being humiliated, intimidated and discriminated against for my disability which creates an inability to wear a mask and especially in front of my daughter that was with me. My anxiety was relieved a bit from not having to face confrontation just so I can enjoy a meal out with my family. It was also great food, great prices and great friendly service. Thank you!
Always an amazing experience! Siva and the whole family at Siva s restaurant are awesome. Amazing foot, excellent service and great value
This place is awesome for brunch or their pasta bar
Every time I visit this restaurant, the atmosphere is very cheerful.
Foood was gross. Waiter was rude and took forever to get to us. Management treats their employees horrible. I would definitely never recommend them to anyone. Avoid this place.
The food was not good upon arrived soggy bread n fries
Great place to visit with great food
This place is a great place to eat. Very friendly people. Lots of food.
Awesome buffet. Waitresses are friendly and prompt great place to eat. Highly recommended
On our latest order, the food was all cold and was missing fries with our meal, other than that it was somewhat ok.
The service was absolutely great, the food was served nice and hot, the atmosphere was Superb. Would highly recommend Sivas Family Restaurant. A must to go.
My steak dinner that I ordered takeout was absolutely fantastic!!! My steak was cooked perfect, baked potato even and my veggies were not soggy. The best part it was still hot!! They even provided all the bells and whistle s in the bag for takeout. Thank you Siva s Restaurant. You ve outdone yourself again
Was great nice people good food too
Great food Great price. Highly recommended.
The food is always delicious here but it would be nice if the staff wore their face masks when coming to your table.
Very excellent service and food was very good! definitely coming back.
Food is typical and as expected for this type if diner/restaurant. Went Monday morning, August 23. Service was friendly but NONE OF THE FRONT-OF-HOUSE STAFF WORE MASKS which is not in compliance with Ontario Stage 3. N-O-N-E.
Great brunch, very good selection of food. The staff is very friendly.
Stood at the entry waiting to be seated and was ignored terrible
Has been one of my favorites from the first time I came here.
Siva is an amazing person ! Go drop in.
Everytime I call this place, they told me that they have buffet but when we reach, the buffet is closed. Who in this world closes dinner buffet at 7 pm. Worst place for customer service in timmins
Love love coming to eat at this restaurant! Always the best experience:) it s also my 6yr old favourite restaurant in town! Highly recommend
Worst management in the city of Timmins. They say something over the phone and when we reach their they change the statement. The owner is rude and lot of mismanagement going on from his side. He promised us buffet dinner till 8:30 but refused us dinner at 7:45. He left us with no option of food at that time, had to eat just Tim Horton wrap for dinner. I would prefer to sleep hungry rather than going to this outlet for food
I m confident the food here poisoned me . It s the only food I ate in the last 24 hours that I did not eat in the proceeding days. Washroom cleanliness is also big concern. Their food safety license should be revoked.
Me and my family always here at sivas very amazing food buffets alot of choices and brunch buffet is amazing to never had a problem staff is friendly and food came out fast
Amazing customer service and food was delicious! Proof of COVID is required at this time. Sad to see our local businesses suffering due to the COVID rules but I won t shoot the messenger. Our business owners are doing what the must to comply.
A must go to restaurant when in Timmins! Great food complimented by great service!! Thank you Sivas for all the great experiences.
The food is absolutely amazing here I love the staff and the manager is amazing and is always kind to his staff and customers I come here all the time it is mine and my partners favourite place to come for date night they are amazing highly recommend this restaurant
Great food, phenomenal service and amazing ambience.
The restaurant is located in a convenient spot and you have ample car parking facility. The ambience is great and the unit is run two brothers from Sri Lanka and their mother also helps in their endeavors. One brother looks after the counter and the other goes round the tables and sees that the guests are taken care of. The food is good and served by experienced hands. The staff are very cooperative and are willing to help. The only regret is that they dont have Indian or Sri Lankan food in the menu. We were very comfortable having food in the unit.
Home cooked meals. Friendly staff
Sivas Family Restaurant is absolutely one of the best restaurants in town. Great people and great food! Would recommend.
Had a wonderful lunch here. Our server Luc was an absolute gem
