Has anyone dined at the W. Ontario location of this restaurant recently? I hear it a restaurant worth checking out for Sunday Brunch. Any personal experiences are appreciated.

Total crap.
I have not been for brunch though but this place is a disgrace to Middle Eastern food.
I would personally avoid it but maybe others had better experiences.

Never been there, but they advertise A LOT on television here. I generally believe that quality restaurants don't need to utilize that strategy, so I have never been inclined to try it.
I agree with frenchie. It's average, at best.
Do the Gospel Brunch at House of Blues if you want to try something out of the ordinary.

agreed with general sentiment- it's just ok. I eat there once in a blue moon but I know not to expect anything too exotic or authentic.
2nd the House of Blues. Can you really go wrong with all you can eat bacon?
3rd the HoB.

Is the House of Blues a place that can be enjoyed by someone who does not eat meat? My wife is a vegetarian. Thanks for the info about Reza.

vegan - no not so much
cheese and egg - veggie? yeah, it's a breakfast buffet.

How is doing the Gospel Brunch at HOB, with locations all over the country, "something out of the ordinary"?
BTW, I've always like Reza's.
You're right. It's probably no different than the one you get at the Carlsbad House of Blues.

Funny you mentioned that. I just ate at the Saratoga Springs house of blues and the bacon was definitely not what I'm used to from Chicago. Also the fact that there are no black people in upstate new York makes the whole experience a little funny.

There's a "unique" HOB with a Gospel Brunch about 25 miles from here. You can also get an "out of the ordinary" experience at these locations:
House of Blues Anaheim
House of Blues Atlantic City
House of Blues Boston
House of Blues Chicago
House of Blues Cleveland
House of Blues Dallas
House of Blues Houston
House of Blues Las Vegas
House of Blues Myrtle Beach
House of Blues New Orleans
House of Blues Orlando
House of Blues San Diego
House of Blues Sunset Strip
For God's sake you live in one of the great restaurant cities in the US and one of the great cities in the world. Certainly you can find an eating experience unique to Chicago.
The Green Zebra in Chicago has a tasty vegetarian brunch.

Well, I thought the Gospel Brunch at HOB was pretty unique and fun when we took Stef Wine there several years ago, but I guess I don't get around as much as Mr. Cab, who thankfully is the watchdog of singularity.
IW: my favorite breakfast place in Chicago is Wishbone (near Oprah's studio). It's not a brunch, just great breakfast food.
Grossie: Saratoga HOB bacon is indeed unique, as it is traditionally made from the last place finishers in yesterday's claiming races.

You don't have to "get around" far when you can get the same "out of the ordinary" experience in 13 cities. Again, you live in a great city, why not suggest places that are unique to your area?
Mr. Cab: I guess we disagree on "out of the ordinary".
The Clark Dog might be a good spot for you to delineate your Uniqueness Manifesto.

Yes, or even Hot Doug or even Poochies. I live in the pizza and hot dog wasteland of SoCal!

There is no HOB where IW is located, so it would be unique for HIM. This is not about Otis or anyone living in Chicago, but about someone (IW) having an experience he doesn't have at home. Do YOU have a positive suggestion to make, or do you prefer the negative approach?
On topic: Reza is average, at best, as others have said.
Otis,
I will make a note of Wishbone for our next visit to Chicago. Thx.

I did, I said I liked Reza's. People may disagree with that opinion, but I did make a positive statment.
