Yasser Alshihri

it's my favorite with lovely Iraqi lady

Omar Al Obaidi

I don’t usually review a restaurant’s unless i had a very good experience or very bad experience not in the middle .... i tried the Hanoot burger it’s their signature with a little bit of hot sauce its so good and worth trying and hit it if you want to try something different than ordinary burgers

R “RaxTone” P

Tasty food

I. Kamala

They have a really wide variety of middle eastern cuisine, plus if you ask for something special they will do it for you because it’s basically a home cooked cuisine.

Hasan Taha

Like the food, yet the service could be better.

Best iraqi food

dr.zomord Zaki

Very delicious food had my wedding and engagement catering from them

Tobias Figueroa

I tried this place already with my friend and I am obsessed ever since. I enjoyed the excellent atmosphere and fresh dishes and beverages. 5 stars from me.

Jamie Ng

"known as the places to go for a giant platter of quzi (slow-roasted lamb served on rice), butterflied grilled fish, kebabs, or lamajoun by the dozen. diners can also get grilled beef kebabs on rice or with bread, or get a single-sized portion of quzi in the form of fall-off-the-bone lamb shank on rice. The rice, dotted by the crunch of blanched almonds and brimming with the spiced juices from the lamb, is a showstopper on its own. “It’s the most Iraqi dish. At our parties, we always have lamb,” "

Ahmad Alkhatat

One of the most delicious Iraqi food, and amazing stuff as well.

Karzan Yaseen

The reason of selling goods in this place is 1. People doesn't know the real taste of Iraqi food 2. No alternative So the food and the customer service is the lowest quality and the price is very high.

Ahmad Ali

Very professional and absolutely tasty.

Wyatt Haley

This place gives great service and delightful meals. One of the best spot around here. The food came out rapidly and the rates are affordable. Will definitely recommend this restaurant.

Usman Anees

Best lamb shank I ever had in my life!

Khaled

Yummy Mediterranean food. Don't miss their kafta skewer.

S Haddougui

(Translated) Great place and amazing food. excellent experience and very friendly owners recommend for everyone (Original) Great place and amazing food. excellent experience and very friendly owners recommend for everyone احلى اكل و احلى ناس بالتوفيق الله يبارك

Mustafa Ghazi

Very bad customer service, the place is not clean. They gave me half of a bread instead of the full. Their fingernails were dirty and they touched my food without gloves! I will certainly not recommend this place.

Eman Al Ali

Slow service yet courteous staff. Better to call and order then visit to collect. Kebab was not the best though !

zaheen ahmad

Their lamb shank and chicken tikka wrap are to die for. Exceptional food and friendly staff!

Ghadeer Shaaya

Ishtar food never disappoint. It is an authentic middle eastern (Iraqi) food that tastes excellent. I admire the people who run this business, they are so friendly.

Dania Al

I don't even need to explain the reason I'm giving their food and services 5 stars. And if I could give more than 5, I would. You could easily get the BEST Iraqi food out there from this place. They feel like family to you - Khala Nadia was so approachable and nice to us when we were stressing out about the food we'd order. And Basmal is a genuine gem. They delivered and picked up on time - they care about their customers and they'll always find a way to accommodate you. Thank you so much for alllll your amazing job! We're so lucky to have you in Mississauga.

Ahmed Al-Imari

Delicious halal catering for both events and daily meals. Lovely owner. Reasonable prices.

Asaad Yousiph

Great food and excellent service.

AJ S

Best of best authentic Iraqi food.

M Ros

Very high quality and friendly staff. The Quzi (lamb shank) plate is highly recommended. My favourite spot to visit whenever I’m down in mississauga. The place is not that spacious so it is best if you order for take out.

Mesa York

Amazing & delicious middle eastern food and service! We are a student-run club at York university and recently hosted an on campus event, even though we contacted the restaurant at such a late notice to provide us with food for the event, they were extremely kind, helpful & generous sponsors of our event ! The food was DELICIOUS and everyone enjoyed the food greatly . Would definitely recommend you try this place!

BO1

Very good food, clean, yummy

Shamas Amin

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing service! By far the best most authentic Iraqi food in the GTA. Highly recommended. Very fair price and clean, accurate and on time. Catered from here and guests were blown away. Great selection on menu, something for everyone!

MONICA ISPANYA

Hands down the BEST IRAQI KABAB I've had , you can order ahead and then go in for pick up, they also deliver. Many selections of Iraqi cuisine like dolma, kabab, ruz w maraq, kelecha and many more. Thanks for the delicious food and for also following the law and not allowing discrimination in your store. Cheers! Stay Golden ????

Monica Farag

Reem Shooman

Nasty food, nasty attitude, worst customer service ever!

Ameer Subhi

Their food is extremely tasty Reasonable prices Variety of food Their homemade Arbil yogurt is super tasty Keep in mind it’s a catering not a restaurants So order your food in a day in advance they accept only cash or debit keep it in mind

Salah Abdelrahman

Ordered the first time 2 years ago for party catering and it was incredible food and affordable pricing. Flawless. Then we ordered again for my daughter's aqeeqah and that was also very tasty and they even packed it individually for us so we can distribute it to people. Their kibbeh is to die for. Very consistent and reliable. The service and care are second to none, the lady on the phone you can feel from her voice that this family business puts their heart and soul in it cause you'll also feel that when you taste their food. One of the tastiest Arab style catering businesses UPDATE Dec 2021:: catering here is no longer guys. Options are small and prices are really high. The last 2 orders we made were poorly prepared, in fact the catering boxes were made from prayer and by the time it hit home they got soggy and ruined it. Ajay one big item was not delivered and the owner have a very poor excuse for why! You really don't want that to happen to you when you have guests coming! highly recommend you rethink your options here and at least make sure you double check everything

Majid Hameed

Great food and great people

Adam Jokhio

The best guzi you can get in the GTA, honestly better than most ive had in the Middle East too. Great food every time.

Amazing Iraqi cuisine with good variety of food. Try their specialty: a plate of grilled fish and yellow rice. The hostess is so sweet and she is always caring.

Maximiliano Griffin

I had a wonderful experience at this place. We liked the awesome atmosphere and the meals. The staff are very amiable. I am content we eventually managed to try this restaurant.

Rafah Ramsey

Good ethnic Iragi food

Azam Khan

Nice food

Shiraz Sal

Fantastic! Cant go wrong.. meat falls off the bone perfection

Amta Maria

If u gonna be rude on the phone when customers call to make an order and tell them to go take a look at the menu and then call because our options are limited because u never have this or that don't answer the phone pls! And if u do answer have someone that speaks English and has patience.

Mostafa Mourad

I had an amazing experience today, went for pickup and the owner was so patient to show me all the options she has in the fridge. She kept telling me about every dish and how it is made. She even gave me a small sample to try from their Arouk bread, which is basically a bread made with vegetables and meat, it was so yummy so I bought it for the whole family. The food we got was tasty, the portions were big and the price was really good! Will be returning back.

Baylor Everett

This spot provides first-rate service and yummy food. One of my favourite restaurants ever. The food and drinks arrived quick and the rates were economical. Will definitely recommend this spot.

Thamer Al-ogaidi

(Translated) The food is so delicious (Original) الطعام لذليذ جدا

Rami dawood

Great food, wide variety, friendly staff. I love their Burak, Kooba, and kebab. Make sure u give it a try????

Marwan

The thing is, You have to ask a client or a customer for their experience because communication is a bit short due to high order demands. Saying that i still give them 5 stars for knowing they ll get the job done a d the QUALITY of the food. Try your food anywhere else and they will surpass that by a mile. Their food is quality is truly addicting. We hired them for our wedding and I couldn't be happier. Food arrived on time and presentation was on point. Highly recommend them for any event or If you're just really hungry and want to eat for 5.

kaloo bach

Very very bad food

Roua Razak

Very average food compared to how really Iraqi food is or should be :(

Amazing food you almost can’t explain the level of tastiness in words the best costumer service I every had. I felt like the lady on the phone was one of the most nicest people I have ever talked with. She was very friendly. The food was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! It was very delicious.

Yummy Iraqi food, nice hospitality

Hassan K (Hassan)

great home-made food

Not a traditional restaurant, more only for catering. You can find 3 tables inside to eat. The lamb shank is so good and soft that you can cut it with a plastic spoon... Incredible.

Malek Oweineh

I dont know where to start from. I had a very bad experience with the staff and the food wasn't that good, I felt that some of the food is cooked from the day before.. I've been to many Arabian cuisine places and by far this considered as one of the worst.

Amir Ma

Nice service

Soso Mmm

I had a bad experience with the customer service from the owner .I reached on time to pick up my order / she said you have to wait to ten minutes the order didn’t finish yet . And when I came back she came to know my order has been finished already and she was thinking of another order/ (I already gave her my name /time for pick up and the order) .. I asked her my order was done and I waited for 10-15 minutes the food not fresh by now she was so rude instead of apologizing she was saying ok so you don’t want the food ….!?plus part of the order which was the Iraqi pickled was not included in the order when I asked her about it her answer was we didn’t make it today ..!?!!! By the way I called the restaurant for the order 4 days before the pick up date .. Definitely not ordering food from here again.!!!!

Aziza Harb

Their Grilled fish and rice are must try item... Fav place to eat

Jatinder Singh

abir altanbouk

Monowara Begum

We had picked up Beef Kebabs & Chicken Tanor for a family get-together, last month. Food was very tasty and we all enjoyed it. Thank you!! Except, it was difficult to understand the quantity, we ended up ordering too much food.

Maw maw

They have a good stuff but not enough a little slow they need to develop their food delicious but a little over priced. Better to order then go to pick it up.

Amazing food and catering services. Tried it 3 times for catering and never had any issues. Highly recommended!

Mostafa Al-eqabi

Overpriced

Dina Hatim

I used to be a regular customer, but i was shocked today when i called to place an order and i asked if i can pick it up from their other location (which they usually do ) a lady who was taking my order start shouting out loud in a disrespectful attitude trying to express her anger about their customers as she was telling that every customer is requesting differently which she cannot accommodate! If she would've told me "politely" that they cannot offer this service anymore ,i would've understood the situation and might proceed with my order, but after that incident i would never deal with a business with unprofessional ,rude customer service!

Emma

The best food I have ever eat in Canada, it taste like mam home made cook,, we ordered catering three chicken with rice ( chicken mahshi) incredibly delicious! The price is affordable and the quantity is enough for party and family gathering, will definitely recommend to anyone.

D M

I called to discuss their catering services and the woman on the phone told me they're not open. I said " but your website says you're open at 8 am and now it's 10 am" and she hung up on me. Unbelievable...

AMNA ALMAHGOUB

I can’t describe how amazing was the food The best Arabic food I ever had in canada ❤️ The rice and the meat were very tasty and full of flavours and well done The kebba was the best I ever had in my whole life The burak with cheese was crunchy and the whole food came warm and in the best shape I can say nothing except you’ll regret if you don’t try it I’m glad I choose the food from Ishtar in my wedding ???? everybody ❤️ it ???? كتير مبسوطة اني اخترت اكل عرسي من عندكم احلى أكل في كندا ❤️

Enas Alharethi

OMG! The food was amazing and very tasty! This was my first time trying Iraqi food and I loved it. The cheif was around when we arrived and she was very welcoming the table service was fast excellent. She sat us and had a little conversation with us what a lovely Iraqi lady! Before going their we called and we were about half an hour away so the time was limited for them to prep something for us (P.s they cook everything freshly when you order and we were very hungry to waitso we ordered whatever avilable) we had Quozi which is a mouthwatering beef Shank over a special rice and top with nuts very very good 10/10. We also had a plate of Iraqi Dolama, which is a stuffed veggies and had a nice lemony touch 10/10. We had Iraqi kabab very good 2 large skewers overy a bed of yellow rice (soffran) and a side salad. The kubba was a bit dry yet very tasty 8/10 and the hummus was amazing. We also tried their Mamoul (Arabian sweet made freshly out of date and some Arabian species), it comes in a bag of 20-30 for only $10! very good! We ordered also 3 drinks and a take away one order of Quozi and all of these came out to only $80! Please keep in mind this is a catering restaurant so don't expect a fancy tables. If you are a fancy person pick up your food and have ot somewhere els. Just don't miss the very tasty experience.

Ishtar Catering sponsored one of our events at York University, they were extremely supportive, professional, and delivered the amazing food on time. The guests were very pleased with the food provided by Ishtar Catering and would definetly recommend for the future!

(Translated) This place indicates abuse. And the lack of adequate hygiene except for the bad taste of food (Original) هاذا المكان يدل علا سوء المعامله. و عدم وجود النضافه الكافيه عدا عن سوء طعم الاكل

Real Iraqi kitchen.

Ali Karo

If I could rate a 0 then I honestly would, I had ordered kobobs from Ishtar for the first time And while I was eating it I found a piece of hair in my food so I went in to show one of the ladies what I had found inside of my food, but the lady was so disrespectful and gave me 0 attention about what I had told them about what happened, but instead they tried to make me pay again but less money to get another koobob. Definitely not recommend for Iraqi food and kobob tastes like garbage.

Abdul Alrammahy

Whenever you want to taste a real authentic Iraqi cuisine you should try what Ishtar is offering.

Zina Al-Mdallal
