I ordered 250g of grilled beef, medium rare. The owner said earlier that he has experience in "international food'. So I assumed he knew what medium rare was. But it turned out he does not. When I went to collect the food, he said "I used medium heat". Oh God, then I realized that the owner has no clue of what medium rare was. Medium rare is when you grill the beef so that the meat, when it is cut has a lovely crust outside but has a pink middle. My beef, the beef I got, was overcooked. Also it was not good quality beef. It was just some lean, dried up, thin tasteless beef. Not succulent or flavourful. I think I understand the owner's problem. He is catering to a lower socio economic segment mainly - he said that most of his customers can't afford beef only, so he had to discontinue the grilled beef item which used to be on the menu and offer a mixed meat option instead. If he is catering to a poor segment in Kottawa(mainly small time traders I suppose) who can't afford to buy a grilled beef item, I suppose....to maintain his profit margins..he has to offer real low quality beef, real non prime cuts and just throwaway cuts from the butcher, which are more fit for animal consumption than for humans. But it's a pity that poor people have to eat such non prime meat.
