Love taking a stroll through the trail along waters edge. There are so many things to discover along the way. The views are spectacular of the city line. There is street parking as well as Green P. Usually on a nice day, the area is very busy so parking is hard to find. A handful of restaurants, food trucks one cafe, Tim Hortons closely around. There are a few benches but mostly people will sit on the rocks or ground.
Absolutely love taking strolls through this trail along the waters edge. There is seating along the way. Usually I find this side of the park more quiet and calming. There is a children park.
Decided to come enjoy their weekend brunch which is fairly a new addition to their menu. Firstly, the ambiance early morning was very calming. Though located in byward market, this restaurant is a steps away from the busy parts.
The restaurant itself has an outdoor patio & 2 different dinning areas. One seems to be more vibrant in colour the other room is dark interior with mood lighting.
The brunch menu was a fusion of Turkish and parts of Middle East.
Here is what enjoyed:
Muhamara was our favourite, the perfect blend of cashew and red peppers.
Stuffed Grape leaves were alright.
Lubneh with Dukkah beats was tasty. The beets added a rich flavour to the yogurt dish.
Beef lahmoujoun, the mint/dill sauce it was paired with was absolutely delicious.
Turkish Egg, poached eggs with labneh. It was good but eventually the flavour of yogurt was too empowering & it needed a something to balance. I ended up mixing muhamara with it.
Shakshuka, this was alright.
Black seed pancakes, this was a savoury item served with tabouli. This was probably the least favourite on the table. The flavour was bland.
Overall, the experience was good. The service was great! Our food arrived in a timely manner. The server did a great job at examining the menu.

If I could rate it 0 I would. I have never wanted to walk out of a place so quickly as soon as I entered.
Horrible ventilation so you are forced to endure smelling everything, no air flow so it’s humid to the point that I’m surprised someone has not yet suffered from a heat stroke. Feels very claustrophobic.
No air conditioner. It’s absurd to allow your clients & employees to have to deal with that heat. There is 1 fan at the entry way. How hard is it to invest a good Hvac system?
Packed up like sardines. Post covid & no crowd control? No place to even move around. Why pack so many people in?
The fact the bouncer wanted $40/person for us to skip line despite the fact this place was closing within the hour.
$20 entry for a place like this is nonsense. It isn’t even worth $1.00.
Upon exiting when asked if we were already leaving I actually expressed how horrible it is and the staff agreed.
Will never visit nor recommend this to anyone.

Ambiance: I have been visiting this exact restaurant (building) for the last 15 years. What I mean by that is I have seen the different changes of cuisines & businesses. The restaurant has been renovated over the years. It is now called Ariana Kabob House. There are booths along the wall, the large windows which are meant to be opened during the summer time to create a patio like feel. I have to say, in their effort to be more modern, the cultural authenticity of the place which made it unique is not there.
Service: I believe this restaurant is now under new management. I could hear the other patrons in the restaurant complaining that the service was different. Here is the thing about this place. You go, pay for food and not ambiance or service. You find your own seat, once the food is ready, they will bring it over but that's the full extent as to the service. If you require anything else, you must get up and ask for it.
Food: They were out of some items on the menu. Chicken Tandoori, the portions were large and the chicken was flavorful. The chicken tandoori sandwich was equally tasty with exception to the fries which were basic. The beef kabob was tender and juicy. The rice was cook to perfect as well. We did have to request sauces on the side as it was a little dry.
Overall, the food is tasty, the portions are great.
