Review Summary

Restaurant Emilia receives mixed feedback regarding its offerings and operations, with many patrons praising the flavourful chicken, chorizo, and spicy piri piri sauce while others express disappointment with dry portions or inconsistent quality. Although some diners highlight the helpful staff and cool atmosphere featuring music, many frequenters report frustrations with high prices, small portion sizes, and significant lapses in service efficiency and friendliness. Overall, the experience varies widely, as some customers consider it a top-tier choice for bowls and poutine, while others find the value lacking and the customer service expectations frequently unmet.

Got the chorizo & chicken poutine bowl, staff were friendly & food was very tasty! Also a solid amount of food for the price.

We were there yesterday night to grab a quick dinner, & while the food was definitely above average, the bad service really impacted my rating of the place.

The people served before us were greeted with a smile, not sure why we were treated differently - no smile, absolutely nothing. Felt pretty racist to me, especially the girl at the counter.

Then, waited for the people before us to get their food first (as it was being made to order in front of us) before asking the guy if we could get our food to go instead (I noticed the food was being served in trays), as I recently got surgery & wanted it to go anyway. He told me I'd have to say that at the counter, which I did, & the girl sounded a bit surprised at first (like I had asked something unusual). I hadn't said before that I wanted it to go as I saw paper/plastic containers & thought it came in closed ones, but if there's such a big difference between making the food for here v/s to go, shouldn't the girl at the counter be asking us what we prefer when ordering instead of just assuming?

It's actually a great place. I used to come here & order food after the gym. The chicken rice salad was really good & always consistent in quality! The sauce was really good!

Ordered salade & fries for side & got rice & fries. It seems the female staff doesn't know basic English, only showing bad attitude. Very unpleasant experience. Train your employees better pls.

Ordered the Pacheco Bowl online & I got a partially filled bowl. Very disappointed when the pictures they advertise are completely misleading. Not worth the price.

J'ai pris une poutine poulet chorizo très copieuse & assez bonne. Cependant, je trouve ça assez cher. Une poutine, pasteis de nata & super bock 40$… c'est très excessif.

Pour l'accueil, c'est très limite. Quand on arrive la personne qui est chargée de prendre les commandes a un casque audio sur la tête & sur son téléphone. Je trouve ça très limite dans la restauration.

L'ambiance été vraiment cool. Il y avait un dj qui faisait un excellent boulot !

Burnt & salty chicken, unfresh salad & oily rice not worth the money

Very cheap business. They try to cut costs by cutting portion sizes. This was a BOGO from uber eats which I have gotten multiple times before & the portion was never this bad. They also changed their bowls to smaller bowls. Embarrassing. Not worth it for the price. The poutine is also made with stale fries & not fresh at all.
