"Butter Tarts"-Toronto Life

Before all else, and pre-empting indignant letters, we acknowledge that nobody makes butter tarts like the ones you had at Grandma’s. That said, it’s remarkable how many unassuming places bake their own and how so few do bad ones. The stickiest, yummiest butter tarts come from Hannah’s Kitchen (2221 Yonge St., 416-481-2828). The top third is a chewy caramel layer that’ll loosen dental work. A bare touch of runny sweetness fills the center and the base is a buttery pastry that beats anything else in town. Still not sold? Two words might help convince some of you: no raisins!

"Egg Sandwich"-Toronto Eats (by Leonard Wise)

When I was in high school and later university, I used to sit in
the cafeteria and watch the other kids open up their lunch bags. From theirs came great looking sandwiches of avocado and tomato on whole wheat, sliced chicken with dijon mustard on rye, or tuna and lettuce on an onion bun. Not from mine. For 10 years my mother gave me two chopped egg sandwiches on Wonder bread, every day! One whiff of my locker and it was obvious. Upon graduation, I vowed I’d never look at another egg sandwich. Guess what? I broke my vow recently and renewed my relationship with chopped egg and mayonnaise, this time on multigrain bread and I found the best sandwich of all at Hannah’s Kitchen (2221 Yonge Street).

"Vegetarian Dining"-Vitality Magazine

Hannah’s Kitchen serves extremely fresh, tasty and homemade food, with two excellent soups daily – one is always vegetarian, sometimes both. They serve a great selection of 15 salads too – mostly vegetarian. The staff tries hard to please and they do a good job of it. Cafeteria style and fast! Eat in or Take out. They also cater in the GTA.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS

- Just wanted to let you know that the committee members really enjoyed their meal yesterday. I personally was impressed with your professionalism and the ease of dealing with Hannah’s Kitchen. We will definitely be calling your services again and soon!

- On behalf of my entire family, I would like to thank you for making our Dad’s 85th Birthday Party such a success. We were impressed with the quality of service and the delicious food you provided. Seniors are fussy, but not complaint was heard, they devoured everything. We will definitely keep you in mind for future family or business catering needs.

- Can’t thank you enough for the wonderful meal you provided for our son’s Bar Mitzvah. Everything was mouth watering. One guest who normally avoids Salmon, told his wife, if she could prepare it the way Hannah’s had he’d eat it with pleasure and lot more often. The kids really enjoyed their Fettuccine Alfredo, and that’s saying a lot, as my Son and his pals are very fussy about Alfredo sauces. There wasn’t a piece of pasta left! The Synagogue also praised your services. You were in – set up – and gone in quick order with everything done quietly and efficiently. I gave them your card, hopefully they’ll refer Hannah’s to others holding events at our Synagogue. Again, thanks for making this special event so special.

- Just wanted to send compliments regarding the wonderful Christmas Dinner you catered for our staff of 75 yesterday. We enjoyed the entire meal. You were right about dessert, following a heavy Turkey Dinner with all the trimmings, small nibbles and a mouthwatering variety they were, was all we needed. Thanks for talking me out of the cake. Thanks also for your patience and guidance while I organized this event. I’ll be in touch in the New Year, with catering orders for our smaller events and meetings.
