“ Their cheese and chicken pie is so damn delicious, plus everything else over there is absolutely fantastic. A must visit place in the city. ”
“ At least once a month my coworkers and I order from Island Cafe. If you are reading the reviews I’m sure your will see that the chicken & cheese is an ABSOLUTE MUST!! The best chicken pie I’ve ever had!! We always get it delivered and it is always still hot in the bag and comes promptly. I can’t say enough good things, you just have to try it for yourself!! Anything that you try will be out of this world. ”
“ Food made fresh and worth the wait. Still trying to get used to Canadian food prices. We paid 80 for 2 people. I stalked this place on google until we were able to visit Windsor. My hubby loves Shawarmas and I had the mixed Shawarma platter which was enough for two meals. Renovations or something is happening so the spot is very small. Best for pick-up, IMHO. ”
“ I must say it was so much better than I had expected. Went here in a recommendation of a work colleague. They were spot on and I think I have found a good little spot to get a quick bite. If you are looking for a nice snack without having to deplete your account..:come and try the Chicken and Cheese... I will definitely be coming back here again. The staff were polite, friendly, and helpful. With a little work on ambience it could be even better. ”
“ The manakeesh were amazing! Such a clean and welcoming environment as well :) ”
“ One of the best prices of food here for the Pies. Definitely a good option for breakfast or brunch ”
“ This is not one of the best, but it comes on top of all bakeries in Windsor. The authenticity of the taste of manageesh and fatayer is genuine, I tried zaatar and haloumi cheese olive all is waw. Highly recommended. I would give it 7 stars. ”
“ Love the quality of everything here! Walked right in for the first time, and it’s an easy going staff that makes you feel comfortable immediately. Spacious area, accommodating for groups of all numbers. The food itself is top tier. Had myself two of their sizeable chicken manakeesh pies, and it was filling and then some. You won’t regret giving this place a shot, because trust me, it won’t be my last visit! ”
