Lonzo’s is a ghost kitchen inside Mazadar. They had plenty of space to sit down. Management was great; made sure we had everything needed. Food took some time to come out, but it was worth it. Would recommend as a late night option with proper seating. Good atmosphere as well.

By far the best deal in town is the Chicken over rice with that white sauce. Right now it's BOGO on uber eats and 2 orders is just a little over $16.00. So delicious, I had to order it twice in one day. Afghani Rice is so flavourful. You will be satisfied.

The food is typically good, I have order from here a few times and both times took an hour and a half, kinda disappointing. Maybe it’s the Uber driver but I live 13 mins away, either way my food was cold. I got the sweet chilli chicken over fries and it was decent. It came with a fair bit of chicken and I liked that the salad was incorporated. I would recommend the smoked bbq beef over rice it was definitely better.

I ordered on Uber eats and this is the best food I’ve ever had off of the app. I’ve re-ordered several times. And not many places get a re-ordered from me. I wish I could have rated it in the app, but it would not let me. I don’t even usually Leave Google reviews, but I had to because it is so delicious!! Talk about a PROMO that actually works! This is one of a kind.

Wow, this restaurant is guilty of false advertising and scamming I ordered on doordash What do you notice about my containers of food? Oh, that's right, they are only half full Why is it that I got half empty containers of food? Then I checked to see what other people were getting from this restaurant by looking at their images and other containers are fully filled but my containers are only half filled and are half empty DO NOT COME HERE

Lonzos Kitchen has the most delicious on the rocks/sticks you can find. The meat is always fresh, juicy and filled with flavour. The sauce tastes really good. The rice is amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone, especially for late night eats

Good chicken on rice/ on the rocks. Price is a little steep compared to others but food quality is good and the white sauce is great. Shawarma/gyro "style" chicken but it's definitely not cooked on a spit - most likely grilled. Good for late night Uber eats

The lady that works there is extremely disrespectful and does not know how to speak to anyone. Called the restaurant about 7 times and I went in and asked her why she doesn t answer and her answer was because I m too busy to answer your calls. If you don t want to order leave

It was 1:30am after a super fun night out with Friends and I was hungry. I was so glad this restaurant was still open as I live very very nearby. The poutine I ordered was pure bliss. Reminded me of the poutine Id get back in Timmins the 1990s at a place called Chez Nous; the local pinnacle of poutine at the time. There is plenty of rich gravy and melty cheese curds. The fries are simple but enjoyable. I cherished every single bite. What a joy to come home with such a tasty treat, if a tad salty. The staff are nice, they seem happy and the owner is personable and hard working . This poutine is not gourmet; its old school in the best way. Winner, Gagnant!

Ordered Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl. Chicken was so bland and just seemed it was boiled not even grilled on a rotisserie oven. Also Any place that uses sirarcha or tobasco as their hot sauce should definitely not be selling shawarma. Will give it two stars as the honey garlic chicken wings were good!

Okay so I ordered from this place for the first time and have a bunch of issues. Number 1, ordered EXTRA meat for 5 dollars. There is literally barely any meat in here???? Im so confused. The thing is literally jammed full of rice. I didnt pay for rice. 2nd, why on EARTH are you shipping your meals with non-microwavable containers??? You mean to tell me Im supposed to dump all this messy garbage onto a plate and then heat it??? Get it together. Will never order from here again.

Quality here has steadily declined to make this location reliably inconsistent. I ve ordered the bbq beef over fries three different times and each time it s been a disappointment. They rarely have it ready for pick up at the scheduled time and wait to start cooking until you show up. Fries were hard as a rock 2/3 times. It was actually difficult to chew. Seems as if they just cook the meat and slap it on some fries that were cooked hours ago. I added onion rings on one occasion and find out when I go to pick it up that they don t have enough onion rings (they gave me about 5 or 6 lol?) so they just gave me more fries rather than offer a refund? They aren t the same price and the extra fries were cold, and soggy. It s unfortunate because I would recommend this place often as THE BEST but I ve been steadily disappointed in the quality the last year. Especially given the prices they charge now. Not sure if it s just this location in particular but I m going to be avoiding it for a while.

Food is really good, but they need to work on their consistency. First time I ordered, they put the red sauce on the side which was great because I could control how spicy I could make it. Second time I ordered extra beef for $5, and the portion was so small (it was about two small spoons worth or less for $5 - what a waste of money).

This restaurant is sooo good. Was just hungry late at night and was craving something yummy lonzos came through. Their chicken on the sticks is so much better than anywhere else it s crazy. Literally the most tender clean meat. I m sorry but why do most places use nasty nasty meats for these types of dishes? It ruins the whole meal. Lol Lonzos is the best it is my new favourite spot for chicken fries and looking forward to trying other items on the menu Side note: the employees here are so friendly and genuinely good people. Great atmosphere and energy at this tasty high quality restaurant. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Chicken and rice is a staple for all New Yorkers. They ve succeeded by their flavours, portion and pricing. I believe Lonzo can learn much about the originals and tweak their recipe to be on par with the God Father of this delicious late night street meal. Every component of the dish needs to improve, red sauce spicier, chicken more flavourful and rice can be less bland if possible. Highly recommend Torontonian s to check it out and this is definitely hands down better than Osmow s, Lazeez and The Halal Guys. Will be back soon!

★★★★★
December 23, 2021

The meats are well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Even the rice is flavourful, and the salad is fresh. The portion size is worth the money and so is the food itself, they give so much!! I couldn t eat it all at once. I would definitely give their food a go. The best part is how juicy and flavourful everything is, not one bit is dry. The sauces are great but the food is so good you wouldn t need sauce. Great place :)

Didnt bother taking a pic, ordered the large beef over rice, was overall a disappointing, expensive almost $20 container of rice. The amount of sauce covered the actual lacking dry scraps of beef. By large, I assumed it was enough portion for 2-4 people. In reality, its just enough serving for 1 person. Do go here for the loud, intimidating metal spatula smacking. (What exactly were they making a show of? Smacking the air?) Not quite worth the 20min wait. It was a Monday evening, not sure if they were actually busy or having only 2 ppl on staff to keep up with the overly hyped demand. Definitely, overrated.

The garlic sauce compliments the salad on the side acts as a good dressing because its not too thick. The rice goes well with the chicken but I think they could of done something special here. The hot sauce as well really nice combination with the garlic sauce with just the right acidicity and spice. WELL DONE! Dont ever sacrifice quality with speed! Keep going
