    I thought thirds time a charm, but it didn't work, I got the Lawrence plate 12.99 they give a lot…read moreof food but the bbq sauce was way too overpowering, and it had a bitter after taste, I called them and the order was ready pretty quickly they did do a renovation it looked a lot better inside, but yeah the taste of the Lawrence plate was not good at all, the way they make it look on social media, and real life completely different. I think bbq sauce on shawarma should be illegal, it doesn't work at all. I thought Johnny Shawarmas was a lot better than this. This is the last time I will come to Aleppo kabob price wasn't bad for the amount of food they give you but taste was not good at all.

    What just happened?…read more I used to love this place. In fact, I would drive 30 minutes each way just to pick up some of those tasty kebabs and that unforgettable garlic sauce. The food was so full of flavour and care, it stood out among Toronto's many Middle Eastern options. Lately, I'd been seeing a lot of their mouthwatering Instagram videos--chicken shawarma piled high, platters being loaded up with garlic sauce and fries, etc.... What can I say? The marketing worked. I started thinking about Aleppo Kebab and decided to order some for lunch via Uber Eats. Unfortunately, the meal fell flat. The shawarma was bland, and flavourless. The rice, once fragrant and almost biryani-like, was now just plain and forgettable. The salad was not dressed, the garlic dip tasted like it came out of a can, and the sujuk rolls were coated in a chalky flour residue that made them unappetizing. I'm not sure if this was just an off day or a more systemic issue. But every part of the meal was underwhelming. It's disappointing, especially when I know what they're capable of. They've clearly stepped up their marketing game--but if the food doesn't live up to the hype, no amount of social media will keep people coming back. I'll give it one more try before writing it off completely, but here's hoping the Aleppo Kebab I once raved about makes a comeback. Until then, 2 stars is fair.

Ghadir really has it all. Their breakfast is absolutely my favourite spot in the whole of Scarborough. The fatteh is creamy , the shakshouka is packed full of flavour and the manakeesh is all the right spots of crispy and delicious. So fresh and flavourful. And their karak chai is AMAZING. Ghadir is truly the gift that keeps giving!

    We came here on a Thursday night with high expectation for authentic Lebanese food. The place…read morelooked the part - regulars idling about outside, a constant stream of takeaway with delicious smelling meats, and groups of families and friends enjoying their evening in the messy yet homely sit down restaurant. Unfortunately I left with a strong sense of disappointment. We ordered beef shawarma that was dry and dull (though I concede that if we had gotten the house made hot sauce it would have likely been fire), and then ordered two skewers of shrimp with some sides. The seafood is served from a secondary restaurant to the beef/ chicken one - and though they didn't seem incredibly busy, we waited 45 minutes for two skewers! The more frustrating aspect was that I definitely saw people order and receive their food before me. When I asked, I was told that people had preordered food before coming, and while that may be the case I refuse to believe that two skewers took 45 minutes. I would have understood if someone told me they forgot about my order or they had a problem with the kitchen, but none such explanation happened. They didn't even apologize and the cashier seemed to actively avoid me, and instead busied herself by chatting with friends or cleaning up the odd table. In the end we only received the food after we actively started to leave without it. If there was a friendlier service experience I would go back and give them a second chance, but the cashier's attitude really put me in a bad place. I hope that this was a one off especially since they seem to have such a loyal clientele.

    This Armenian restaurant gets 2.5 stars…read more Tanabour was rich, thick & creamy. Yogurt & mint meant it was a bit of an acquired taste, but it was decent.  Samsak was decent. The crumb was crumbly, though slightly dry. The beef tasted decent, though it was a little dry.  Ghacourma was alright. The beef was slightly dry. It came on rice which was confusing given the menu description. We got complimentary prepackaged lavash & pita on request to make the sandwiches, but given how simple the flavour was the sandwich didn't work as it was too dry & plain (since the bread was even drier & less flavourful than the rice). The dish was rather one dimensional without any sauce as the beef was very simply cooked. The rice was also simply cooked with pine nuts.

    We decided to get takeout from lavash for lunch…read more Overall, the food was ready on time and packaged nicely so everything was easy to unpack and eat. The hummus and eggplant dip were fantastic. Great flavor, great texture. The salad had crisp lettuce and shredded cheese. The baked potato bread strips add a great crunch to the salad. The meats were all flavorful and cooked well without being dry. Our favorite was the eggplant appetizer which had tons of flavor and texture - just so interesting the way it's put together. Price: It is definitely pricier than your typical restaurant but the quality is definitely high.

You can't miss this place walking by on Dundas with the 6' tall image of a shisha hooka on the wall and the Arabic music blaring out thru the open doorway and bright coloured wall art inside the entrance. It's up the stairs on the second floor and has wrap around windows overlooking Dundas and around the corner too. Just an amazing view! It would be even better if they cleaned their windows regularly but maybe it's part of the charm of having all that sweet smelling smoke wafting around. Staff is super friendly and welcoming, making a noob like me feel just fine while just staring at that huge wall of hookas that greet you at the counter. There are no alcoholic drinks here, just coffee, tea and soft drinks so possibly a good option for dry January. Take a up a new vice, why not yolo. The best feature is probably the beautifully embellished lushly finished furniture and overall chill-inducing vibe surrounding you. Those couches omg are so comfy with pillows and accoutrements it's like, how the heck would you not make out with someone in there I have no idea, it's that cozy and with that low light sheesh! And the second best feature is the music, just wow, who doesn't like Arabic music? This is something you don't hear just anywhere and was blaring at a really nice level when we dropped in, early in the evening. On Saturday nights starting at 9 pm there is a DJ too, and if you haven't heard Arabic electronic dance music before you are in for a treat, as it's great and I assume that's what will be played in there. No idea if there's a dance floor, but there's plenty of room. There are events too, including belly dancing and live music so if anyone wants to visit there for any of that hit me up, I'm down!
