What Cherry Brandy K likes about Ma Yve Grill:
Excellent service and food at Ma Yve Grill. As a foodie, I've tasted some of the best cuisine from around the world and I can honestly say that Ma Yve Grill is on my top 5 list of favourite restaurants in Pickering. I thoroughly enjoyed the Soso na Beignets translation in english; chicken and beignets. The grilled chicken was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Ask for the light sauce on your chicken I can see why Se... View all feedback. What Sara Vinciguerra doesn't like about Ma Yve Grill:
Food was ok but definitely overpriced for what you get. You go to dine in and it's empty but they tell you that you're meant to call ahead of time?Vegetarian options: Have good variety of vegetarianDietary restrictions: Can do gluten free but need to check the ingredients with them individually as they're unsure what gluten is.

Great food and awesome takeout service from Yvette. Thanks for the great recommendations. The chicken is phenomenal. I bet you can’t eat just one beignet!
