Excellent
Good Options
George's Greek Village
9.3Catering inquiries, banquet support, and Greek platters make George's a practical group pick. Shared starters, kebobs, salads, and desserts give mixed groups enough range without everyone ordering the same thing.
Chile & Agave Mexican Grill
8.8Groups get several easy ordering paths: Quesapizza Birria, Birria Nachos, Party Platter, Chips & Dips, Margarita Towers, reservations, and catering all point toward a room built for shared decisions.
Rollin' Pizza
9.1Rollin Pizza is an easy group pick because it covers different eaters without splitting dinner across multiple places. Wings, party-tray sizing, oversized slices, vegan pies and Detroit options give the organizer enough structure to build one order for everyone.
Fresco's Euro Grille
8.8Groups have real menu support here: meze, mixed grill, pizza, pasta, and private-event materials make the restaurant easier to plan for shared tables.
Taash Indian Restaurant and Bar
9.0Taash works well for groups: curries, biryani, paneer, breads, momos, and Indo Hakka plates let one meal handle spice comfort, vegetarian needs, and shared eating.
Blue Mermaid Seafood & Steak House
9.2Blue Mermaid is group-friendly when the group wants a booked, occasion-minded meal instead of a flexible casual setup. The official pages point to a 100-seat dining room, a semi-private room for smaller groups, and a Plaka Room option for larger functions.
The Kilt and Clover
8.3The strongest use case is a casual group meal: split Kilt Nachos or wings, add fish and chips or handhelds, then stay for drinks or music. It is built for easy pub pacing.
Bugsy's
9.0Bugsy’s is easy to order for a group because the menu naturally scales: wings, pizza, Pig Out Platter, Sports Pack Special and beer-club rounds all point toward sharing. It suits groups that want a loud, practical pub spread.
oddBar
9.3The room and menu suit groups that want to share wings, slices, named pies, tots, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks without making the night formal.
NGA2 Steakhouse and Grill
9.0The menu has enough lanes for a mixed party: seafood starters, pizzas, pastas, steaks, salmon, pork, lamb, a burger, and a portobello handheld. That range makes the restaurant easier to plan for groups with different appetites.
PHOmily Restaurant
9.7PHOmily is easy to build for a group because the starters are useful and the mains split into clear formats. Rolls, wontons, calamari, coconut shrimp, pho, noodles, rice dishes, and curries give everyone several lanes without losing the shape of the meal.
Rise Above Restaurant
9.3This is a useful group choice when dietary needs could otherwise narrow the plan. The full menu is vegan, the about page points to allergy accommodation, and the range covers salads, handhelds, bowls, drinks, and sweets.
Fat Rabbit
9.3Groups have an easy path here because charcuterie boxes, steaks, mixed grill, and shareable plates are already built for passing around. Reserve it for parties that want to divide the decision-making across meat, wine, vegetables, and take-home extras.
The Merchant Ale House
9.1Groups can work around share starters, burgers, sandwiches, and the large-booking contact, with first-come seating for regular visits and an email path for bigger plans.
Pho Dau Bo Restaurant
8.8Pho Dau Bo works for mixed groups because the ordering paths are clear: pho for soup people, vermicelli bowls for grilled-meat plates, banh mi for a lighter order, vegetarian dishes for meatless diners, and shareable rolls or wings to start. The breadth lowers the risk of one person being boxed into a compromise order.
MJ's Own Munchies
8.8A mixed group can build an order around shared fries, poutine, rings, pickles, fingers, and burgers without forcing everyone into the same kind of meal. The vegetarian and gluten-free bun options also make it easier to include diners with different needs.
Pho Ngon
9.3Small groups can order across the menu without everyone landing on the same bowl: split fried rolls or salad rolls, then branch into pho, Bun Bo Hue, vermicelli, rice plates, banh mi, bubble tea, or coffee. It is a broad casual menu, not a private-room or event-dining setup.
Amakara Japan
9.2Boat trays, sushi-and-sashimi combinations, and party-tray imagery make group ordering one of Amakara's easier use cases. The room is small, so the better group move is often to call ahead or use takeout trays.
