Sorry you took it that way, that wasn't what I meant at all. I was responding to your comment that you regret not having shared Els on this forum until they closed. Also observing that whenever a restaurant closes another one seems to open in its place relatively quickly.

I know, not a buffet to be seen. Also, I'm surprised that there is a list of best African restaurants. Do we have that many? Aren't they all on the list?

The Pizza category is basically a write-off. Outside of Noble Pie, the rest are meh to awful.
OEB is meh.
How is Una Pizza in the top 13 Restaurants??? it's not even a top 13 pizza joint in this city.
Chairman's Steakhouse is so overrated.
Credit to Big Catch winning best sushi!

A bunch of the categories are just last years winners. You can see from the date at the top that a few of the categories are dated in February 2020. I noticed when I was reading the Indian food category and the write-up for Calcutta Cricket Club sounded really familiar.

I mean it more as a jumping off point to perhaps liven up the board a bit. But, you know, i guess internet forums aren't supposed to be used that way...
I don't think my UNA take is out of line with the general consensus - particularly on this forum.

My post wasn't aimed at you, or anyone in particular. I just wish we wouldn't give Avenue the attention these lists always seem to get.
I agree about UNA. I have friends who love it but it's not anywhere near the top of my list.

Fair Enough!
I would agree Avenue Calgary is not what it once was. Avenue Edmonton is actually still pretty decent and has a lot more actual content than sponsored posts.
And regarding Chairmans, I just wasnt jazzed for the price. It has an overly American steakhouse feel to it. I know many like it though.

Prices are not really that different that somewhere like Caesars and I would definitely put the steaks I have had there in the same class. It is expensive for sure but the food has been great.

Ok, I might give it a shot.
Have you tried their other place near the hospital?
Rondesvouz?

I tried Yemeni Village tonight: https://yemenivillage.ca/
I have never had Yemini food before, but have had various Middle Eastern dishes.
I was thoroughly impressed with it. I think they are relatively traditional meals - not necessarily glitzy - but like i said, i have never had Yemini food.
would recommend for those looking to give it a try

Looks good - was it over-crowded? Parking lot is always packed.
