Said Yassin's Food Map
This walkable block has some of my most favourite restaurants in the city.
— Said Yassin

SY: From Greek at Pantheon, Pakistani/North Indian food at Lahore Tikka House, Maha’s for Egyptian and Kabsa Mandi for Yemeni.

As someone who cooked professionally for a long time (too long of a time) I'm usually (always) critical when I eat out but all of these spots have real people cooking real food. They are all undeniable home runs/slam dunks.
