Zauq
A genuinely excellent Pakistani restaurant on Eglinton. Really enjoyed it — the food is amazing and the consistency is strong. It's not cheap but the quality justifies the price. The main thing to be aware of: it can be hard to get a reservation on weekends, so call ahead.
What to Order
The karahi and the kebab dishes — those are the highlights. The food here shows real craft.
Must Try
The karahi — it's rich, well-spiced, and the best version of itself at this restaurant.
The Verdict
Amazing Pakistani food. Zauq is in the upper tier of Pakistani restaurants in Toronto — the food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is nice, and the experience is worth it. Book ahead for weekends and come hungry. One of the better halal South Asian options in the city.
