Forest Hill Farmhouse

A gem in the neighbourhood. Simple design. Great food. Even better music. Staff was courteous and made it easy to give a 5* review. The hot chocolate bar took it over the edge. When you hit it on the big and little things it’s an easy win

I've ordered twice, once via doordash and once in person! Both times were very good and I was impressed by the portions. It wasn't perfect but I can't really justify taking off a star. First order: the Casa Loma with a rice and kale base. I would not get rice again, It was just too much, and soaked up all of the dressing, making the bowl less flavourful overall. Decent amount of chicken and other veggies. The kale was slightly softened which I super appreciate. Second order: Spicy Sesame with added crispy chicken and a kale base. The chicken is breaded and wasn't very crispy, but very herby and has a slight spicy kick. Got a solid 4+ cups of veggies. Tons of yummy spiced cashews! Oh my god so many cashews, like a cashew in every bite. I know it's not a new business but it's new to Parkdale so I do have some feedback on the business itself, in hopes they'll stick around! The step to the front door is unsafe. It's narrow and uneven, especially tricky on exiting. Please fix it! The storefront needs some work. It's on a side street and won't get much foot traffic. Depending where you approach from, you can't see the huge menu or service counter and you'd easily walk past and never clock what they even do. The doordash menu does not seem to match the in-store menu. I.e. the app says basil ranch, as does a promo sign in the store, but the big board says Dill Ranch. Two very different flavours! If I had ordered from the app expecting basil, and received Dill, that meal would have been ruined for me. As well, there seems to be many more salad options on the app. I'd also love if you could swap dressing choices without an extra fee on the app. I noticed several early reviews identify inconsistent quality, small portions, etc. I only have two visits to base this on, but my perception is that they solved the issue. The solo employee who was working tonight was super nice, helpful (let me sample a dressing!) and made my salad with care. One you add tax, you're looking at a salad with protein at minimum $20. For a nutritious meal with generous vegetables and healthy protein options, I think that's fair. Anytime I can manage to get a balanced meal for takeout for $20-25, I'm happy.

The first time I tried this place it was amazing, and I’ve been chasing that high (unsuccessfully) ever since. The salads are super inconsistent. They’re often missing ingredients and appear to be made with zero care, which is very disappointing given the price. The one I got today was particularly bad, topped with a pile of vermicelli noodles which were not cut up or anything.

i think the food was sitting out for too long, they did not have a lot of things for example they only had chicken because they were out of salmon and i ordered a miso salmon bowl so half of my ingredients were missing and the worker did not tell me to choose something else so i was stuck with a mixed up salad bowl. the wait was a completely other story. I was waiting for my food for over 30 minutes as the worker took uber eats orders and took way too long making the other customers bowls to the point where they were asking her what would be easier for her to make. I know that doing all of this with two hands is hard which is why i think they need more workers and hires. this place needs at least 4 or 5 people running the place with the speed it was going at on sunday.

Super fresh, very accommodating, bright atmosphere, and happy, helpful staff. Very much recommend for a quick, healthy salad option. 🥗 I build my own bowl, base it with kale, red leaf lettuce, add roasted spicy broccoli, pickled carrot + daikon, roasted corn, watermelon radish, roasted garlic green beans, red pepper, red onion, walnuts, cilantro, and then head over next door (at the QSW location) to top my salad with Dave’s Hot Chicken tenders as my protein. I’ve achieved peak salad, I think. I let the ingredients speak for themselves, and don’t get any dressing, but do wish they had dried cranberries as a topper option. I just add those and the walnuts/cilantro/sunflower seeds and other toppers at home sometimes.

First impressions was I didn’t even know this was a store front for a restaurant as it does t stick out enough showcasing it’s a “Forest Hill Farmhouse”. The inside was very clean very welcoming. The server was helpful and polite dealing with my order. Had the Casa Loma salad. Everything was quite fresh besides the tortilla chips inside the salad being slightly stale. I would give the Cobb salad or the shawarma chicken bowl a try. Even though the price for a salad does seem quite big. The serving size is also larger than I expected.
