SOL Cafe & Lounge — Restaurant in Markham

Here, actually, its rating is more like six or seven stars out of five. The location is excellent, everything is clean, and everything is great.

This place really feels like a home, like you’ve been invited to a friend’s or a relative’s house—maybe an aunt’s or a friend’s—so it’s got a very family-like atmosphere. It’s not noisy at all; it’s quite calm, and there’s a bar, of course, but everything is super organized and clean, and that’s definitely thanks to the management. The staff is amazing, very polite, and it feels like they’ve known you for years. They treat you with genuine respect—ladies like

Maya, Mahsa, Mobina, Tara, and Mr. Mohammad—

they really make you feel at home, and they maintain that perfect balance of respect and friendliness. There’s never any of those awkward incidents you might find elsewhere. It’s a great place to come with your family, your partner, your friends, dance, have a drink, and leave with a smile. Usually, these places end with some kind of conflict, but here everyone leaves happy and laughing. It’s a trustworthy place where you can spend hours, dance, eat, do whatever you like, and just have a great time. Again, the credit goes to the management, MR. PARHAM who’s absolutely exceptional. I’ve never seen anyone like them—they’re the manager, the accountant, a fantastic singer, and they even join in the dancing, super friendly, always cheerful, and it’s really amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it!

Another really interesting thing is the pricing of their services there. It’s unbelievable! With that level of quality and the place’s atmosphere, the prices are incredibly reasonable. You can walk in, have a delicious, high-quality meal, maybe a small drink or coffee, and then leave with just thirty dollars. It’s truly hard to believe!

In the end, I think this is the best place in Toronto for both having fun and hosting events, like birthday parties or any gatherings, or even just spending some time when you’re feeling down. Just come, sit there, and enjoy yourself, and forget your worries for a while. Thanks to Mr. Parham and Ali and his wife—they really deserve a big thank you, it’s...

Just wanted to address one of your bad reviews which to me was very unfair. I was there the same night and personally witnessed what was happening regarding this specific issue. The lady was right in front me causing a line up due to insisting attending the event which was completely sold out. I purchased my tickets in advance and due to her argument with the security and admin to buy tickets which were sold out, we were waiting in the line for long time. Somehow after a while I noticed she came in with her friends and came right besides me sitting on the table which was reserved for VIP TICKETS. I heard them talking about signing there and pretending they are the one who reserved a table. When the actual person came, Parham who is one the managers came and asked then politely to leave the table because the people who paid in advance and reserved arrived. She was addressing him in a rude manner and tried to cause an argument. All the customers around the area which is VIP area were feeling very uncomfortable regarding her attitude and the traffic she caused by standing in the middle of way. The staff were not able to service us due to the way her friends and her blocking the floor. To me and other it was very frustrating. I personally asked the management to leave the area. They asked for their money back because it was inconvenient for them not to sit at the area which they weren’t reserved in advance. Since this beautiful place was opened, I was enjoying myself to go there and recommend all my friends and my followers to visit as well. It’s a very classy spot which I haven’t experienced it for a long time. I’m taking my time to wrote my review because I found it is very unfair to write all those reviews all because she decided to go somewhere and not even bother to take her time to reserve her spot and expecting to be treated like a queen. I highly recommend this place to everyone to experience the best quality hospitality in person. Thank you Sol cafe management. You are the best. I apologize on behalf of others who doesn’t appreciate...

I had the chance to visit Sol Cafe and Lounge again after my previous review, and I’m happy to say the experience this time was a big improvement! It’s clear the team took the feedback to heart, and it really shows.

First off, the menu now includes detailed descriptions of items, including ingredients, which makes ordering so much easier—especially for those with dietary preferences or restrictions. The prices also feel much more reasonable and proportionate to what you’re getting.

The music quality was another noticeable upgrade. The sound was balanced and way easier on the ears this time. It seems like Friday and Saturday nights still lean towards a more club-style vibe, but on other nights, the music is a bit more relaxed—which is great depending on the kind of evening you’re looking for.

We went with the in-house marinated chicken and fries, which the staff recommended, and wow—it did not disappoint! The chicken tasted like heaven, with a perfectly balanced mix of saffron, lemon, and light spices. It was one of the highlights of the night!

As always, the staff were super friendly and welcoming, just like my first visit. They really make you feel at home, which is a big part of what makes a place like this enjoyable.

It’s clear Sol Cafe has made a real effort to address the issues I encountered last time, and I respect that. They’ve shown they’re committed to improving the customer experience, and I think they’ve nailed it.

Why does it deserve 5 stars now? Because they listened, adjusted, and created a much better overall experience while still maintaining their friendly and welcoming vibe. That kind of effort and care deserves to be recognized. Definitely worth checking out again if you haven’t been...
