Parallel

Very nice experience. Tasty Israeli food, fantastic service, and a unique setting. I will visit it again.

I took out a friend for lunch and we both enjoyed the experience: the service was extremely nice and the food excellent ! I will come back again !

The service was amazing! Food was delicious and very cool vibe.

Excellent food, a lot GF and VG, highly recommendable

While still eating our main dishes Our party was told to hurry up and order dessert since they needed our table in less than half an hour. Basically we were being kicked out.
Reservations were for 7:00 PM. We did get our table early but 2 of 4 arrived a few minutes late. AT 8:20 we were told that they needed our table at 8:45 so we’d better order dessert then if we were interested. I’m sure this was no fault of the waiter just the manager, who although I’m sure she knew we were less than impressed didn’t bother to come over to apologize!! (Even though we suggested to the waiter that we’d be happy to discuss it with the manager). About 15 minutes later he mentioned to us that they found another solution. It was interesting to note that at no time were there people waiting for a table.

Jeremy was a great waiter and we loved our meal and celebrating my daughter’s birthday.

Food is good but SUPER expensive for the portion size. I’m sorry but $16 for a small “shared plate” is pushing it. Over $100 for three people with no booze.

If you haven't been, go check it out! The food is so fresh tasting! Delicious! The sesame butter is the best I have ever tasted, I brought home a jar of the beet one. Portions are perfect for sharing so you can taste more items but would also likely be good size for one. The big open warehouse is cool, and unique to see the giant vat where the house made sesame butter is made! A great place for brunch and lunch (I have never been for dinner).

Too much garlic

Amazing food in a trendy industrial facade. Great value too!

Food is average, and starts to all taste the same. Staff push the tapas sharing plate mentality, but in the end it is overpriced for what you get. Shrimp dish is $24 for 8 shrimp. Value isn’t there. Nothing special.

Great food! Half price bottles of wine on Sunday make it just the best

It was a delicious meal. Each dish had a unique Mediterranean touch, which was outstanding experience. The falafels were so rich in herbs flavors -we even ordered double order. The parallel salad was also a delicious one.
We celebrated our son birthday and the service was out of this world. (Very friendly staff)
Must try place!!!♥️😋♥️

It was great!

Most authentic hummus I had in Canada !

Met our kids for a splendid meal. The homemade halvah was awesome! The felafel was exquisite and the schug was very good. Yummy eats. We were well looked after.

The place is organized in a very poor way, it is extremely noisy, food is not tasty at all, and the price... it is unbelievable, just unbelievable.... Hummus and falafel are not real, hummus is diluted too much and not clear with what, labaneh was good, but provided in a miserable amount (such a tiny plate, max. 50gr for 10CAD). Pitas are good and warm... A small cup of hot water with one leave of mint is 2.25CAD- unbelievable... So, for 2 plates of cold diluted hummus, 1 little plate of labaneh, and 2 small cups of water with meant we paid 70CAD!!!
Music - just to die!!!
Staff is nice and friendly.

Was offered 2 seats at the bar, which would have been completely fine any other day, but it was right by the main door and it was rainy and windy today, so every time the door opened, I'd feel a gust of cold wind. The hostess was kind enough to move us to a table shortly after we ordered as we had a reservation. We ordered the Green Shashuka, Black Sabbath, and 3 Falafels. The shashuka was a bit disappointing; I much preferred the original one. The black tahini in the Sabbath was super delicious with the poached eggs and avocado toast, but the eggs were just a touch too under, and so was the roasted tomato. All dishes were slightly under-salted, which is usually fine for me, so I asked for hot sauce, but that was extra! (I declined...) The falafels were vibrant green and great with the tahini as I remembered. We finished off our brunch with a warm chocolate chip cookie in a cast iron pan with vanilla ice cream and tahini drizzled on top, and for someone who is not a dessert person, that was actually my favourite dish of the day! Can't wait to come back for dinner!

Yum-o food and make sure you try the tahini smoothie! And if you like garlic you are in the right place. Fun place to for brunch.

Good food, fun vibe, and outstanding service - my girlfriends and I had a terrific evening. Highly recommend it

Been here many times, for lunch and for dinner. Love the food, especially the parallel salad and the herb salad, but everything else is delicious too.
Make sure to book ahead, as it's very busy.

Ever since my 3 week visit to Israel I have craved a Tel Aviv experience: creative menu and ambience and delicious food. Parallel is this and more! So thrilled to have celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday here and have the best service ever! Jeremy is a real treat and added that extra oomph to our dinner. The salad, falafel, hummus, kofta, halva and lemonade were fabulous! That tahini omg!!! Yes!!! Thank you to the 3 brothers who opened up this little gem in Toronto! See you again soon!!

Cannot get enough! Amazing food and service!

Very interesting menu which puts its own stamp on middle eastern cuisine. Food is well presented. Good service.

If the noise weren't so overwhelming that it makes conversation impossible, a meal at Parallel would be delightful. The food is interesting and excellent. The service is just fine. But, the conversational and ambient noise are exacerbated by the music which wants to drown out everything including hearing what your mealtime companions are trying to say.

Amazing food, and extremely friendly and generous staff! Will be back many times.

I love it there!
Nice staff, Nice menu, Nice venue.
Parking sucks!
Brenda Lass

great food but restaurant too noisy, rather pricey, and no parking.

Love everything about Parallel will definitely be back!

Food was delicious! We will definitely go back, a bit noisy

Food and drinks were great but it was our server who made our dining experience amazing!
Thank you for a great night.

For the time I was there I felt like I’m back in Tel Aviv and it made me completely happy.

I love Mediteranean food, but this was unique and wonderful. The place has energy. the service was friendly and informative but not "scripted". Parking was a challenge but worth the inconvenience. The tahini machine was cool and produces an amazing product. Servings are generous and good for sharing. Bring a few friends, but not if you want to have an intimate chat. Noise comes with the high energy atmosphere.

Offer better options in brunch menu on weekdays
Veggies in hummus disappointment, onions overpowering not many veggies compared to instagram

A wonderful find in an industrial area. Lunch was delicious and flavourful. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding the menu.
Overall a great experience

Everything about parallel was amazing. From the cocktails, to the service, the recommendations, the wine and the food. We were beyond happy with our experience. A must-try!
