Crazy Piano - Peterborough, Ontario

Myself I gave this place a 2.5 out of 5, my fiance however gave it a 1.5 rating out of 5. That makes our average 2 out of 5 stars. Here's why To start with my persian meat was good, i'll give them that, well prepared and flavourful as you would ... expect, though the vegetables were poorly presented (looked like bag salad) and i found the hot pepper in the salad was completely overdoing it and unnecessary. The rice was good but arguably way too much of it for the meal in question and on a plate, instead of in a container to retain heat such as a metal pot with lid or similar method. As a result it lost heat fast and in so doing its enjoyable qualities. I also found this to be severely overpriced at $29.99 for my meal alone which consisted of the three meat varieties and the rice, which I add could have been gotten elsewhere at a similar or greater quality for far less, even $15 instead of the ridiculous price tag I had to pay. Now the burger and poutine, there's simply no excuse, I would have to be blazing drunk and stoned in order to even contemplate such an assault on my taste buds and this was what my fiance ordered, she couldn't even have her dinner. They took the price of the burger off of the bill, but they did nothing to rectify the issue, even try to make her another burger. It was completely dry and the beef tasted very cheap, the lettuce looked terrible, it were as if somebody tok the leftover lettuce from the bottom and shredded it roughly in a blender before adding it to the burger. It wasn't even passable as food in my opinion and if I had a dog I wouldn't even give it to the dog. The poutine was barely passable, cheap fries and the gravy had next to no flavour, plus they used shredded cheese, mozarella by the taste of it (what little taste there was) and the fries themselves tasted blatantly artificial in nature. We won't be eating here again, and would personally recommend that nobody else does either. Overall a terrible experience, go somewhere before going to the movies if that's the plan, you'll be better off. Read more

Went there on a tuesday afternoon. Place was absolutely empty! Looking at the positive reviews we thought we would try the chicken shwarma wraps. My wife placed an order for two. We both had them and soon after finishing both of us had a nauseating feeling and had to ... throwup. Its obvious something was not fresh. Would definitely not recommend anyone to go to this place!!!! Read more

Ordered the lamb shank and koobideh for delivery. The delivery was fast and the driver very polite, they dinner was absolutely amazing. Lamb cooked through and very tender and flavourful, the koobideh was well done and plentiful. Very generous servings with everything from rice to salad to dressings to meat. ... Would definitely recommend!! Read more

Oh my!!! We grabbed a bite before we went to a movie and It's a hidden jem!! The food was absolutely delicious! I have been telling everyone about our experience and I absolutely recommend people to try it...you won't be disappointed!! We had the Crazy ... Special plater 1- It's chicken leg, Koobideh, Barg with basmati rice. And also had the Barg Kebab. I haven't had rice like that in many years. And the meat was cooked to perfection. Give it a try, like I said you absolutely will not be disappointed!!! I'm not from Peterborough, from Winnipeg and next time I am in Peterborough...that is my first stop mmmmmm! Read more

Having discovered Crazy Piano by accident, the initial 'try' was a wonderfully tasty treat! Going back a week ago after not being there for a number of months (I don't live in Peterborough), the food was again terrific, so much so that I'm taking my wife there for dinner ... tonight as part of our dinner-concert date: no, not a new marriage - 45 years and counting! Wonderfully friendly service just made the meal that much more enjoyable. Read more
