    Its a mom & pop shop, WOW! quite a good flow of people during lunch time. I went here with fellow coworkers during lunch to have some awesome shawarama plate. The food is Halal. There is plenty of space to sit down and eat. Service was quick and we were eating in no time. I got their Mixed Shawarama plate.. they plate came with salad, rice, sauce, potatoes and lot of meat! The meat was good well cooked no cheap stuff... All in All its great place if you are feeling for a Shawarama. For my muslim folks - they serve halal meat here.

    Cheap quality Mediterranean food. I got a falafel plate with the lentil rice and chickpea salad. It was very good. I wish there were more hummus options but that's about the only complaint that I can think of.

    If you are in mood of some great Middle Eastern/ Mediterranean food, you've got to try this for sure! We've had Shawarmas and Platters from many places but this one beats them all. The quantity of Meat in the Shawarmas is very good and they make it juicy as well with the added sauces. Even in the platters, the salad, rice and quantity is more in comparison to others. The place is clean, hygienic and ample seating arrangement. The staff is really cool especially the guy named Monjour. He will always be in a happy mood with a smile on his face. They also have options of Quarter Chicken Legs and other Mediterranean dishes, on the sweet side there is Baklavas also available. The best is they have daily deals like 2 Shawarmas for $9.99 and likewise for platters as well. It's pretty good on the pocket as well especially when 2 people are going together. Great Place, Great People, Great Food and Great Times !!!

    I have tried several shawarma places and Ali Baba's blows them out by far in terms of taste, quantity, and price. They have different daily specials every day but my favourite is definitely the Chicken Shawarma on a plate with rice. The variety in you get in choice of food there is amazing, from 2 different types of rice to choose from (brown & yellow) to the various samosas (veg, chicken, and beef) you can pick and choose your meal. Their humus and garlic sauce is definitely a must try! Their meats are definitely better than a majority of places around not soggy like some places and the portion size they give you cover 1/2 the plate! If you love shawarma, Ali Baba's is definitely a must try.

The open fish market adds to the experience, and the drink selection is solid. Parking isn't the easiest (expect nearby office garages) but if you're there for a weekday dinner, they offer complimentary valet at the St. Regis, which helps. Service 5/5 Top tier. Staff are polished, attentive, and actually know the menu. Recommendations were on point, and everything felt seamless without being overbearing. It's the details that make it stand out, the attention to detail and the care when serving and presenting the food. Food 4.5/5 Went with the lunch menu (great value with an appetizer and main). Quality is consistent with what you'd expect from Milos: fresh, simple, and done properly. They're also mindful of time; if you mention you're on a tight schedule, they can accommodate a one-hour lunch without making it feel rushed. Had the salmon along with salmon tartare and the octopus. Good variety for the prix fixe lunch menu too. So far the best salmon tartare I've had in city.

Allah yustur. And one waiter? He BUMPED my head while walking past me. Didn't even say "sorry." Just gave me dirty look like I was the problem. Allah knows best because the attitude was unbelievable. Food came eventually, alhamdulillah, but by then I forgot what I even ordered. If you're coming here, bring snacks, a charger, and maybe a sleeping bag. Inshallah your food arrives before retirement. Mashallah to everyone's patience because mine was finished after 20 minutes. Service was absolute bum. Never again, khalas. Allah grant them faster legs and better manners. Ameen.

    I think it's intended to be slightly elevated middle eastern food compared to a regular shawarma…read moreplace. It's perhaps unfair to judge, because though I enjoyed my steak wrap (and it didn't claim to be shawarma), I didn't enjoy it as much as getting a shawarma at many other places and also spent nearly twice the amount. It was still fairly good however, and the $5 draught beer special was a good deal for sure. I still don't regret getting this ahead of the Raptors game and getting food that would have been even more expensive and nowhere near as good.

    We were passing through Union on a recent weekday and I noticed that Miznon had finally opened. I…read morefigured I should probably try one of their offerings, and a quick perusal of their menu led me directly to the Folded Cheeseburger Pita ("Beef chuck cheeseburger with a golden cheddar crown. In a pita with garlic aioli, sour cream, tomato and pickles.") Who can say no to a concoction like that? Not this guy, that's for sure. It was probably about 15 minutes between the time I ordered and when I got the food, so this is clearly not the place to go if you're in a rush. But I'd say the food was worth the wait. That cheese crust is the obvious star of the show here, while the fresh, soft bread is also quite delicious. The other components are tasty too, but the patty itself is the weakest link. It didn't have any kind of crust and just seemed a little on the bland side. But that's a minor complaint for a rather decadent lunch that I quite enjoyed eating.

Overall the food was fine, but the price is a bit high for what you get. For $13-15, you get a skewer of meat (like chicken, veal, koobideh) which comes with rice and a roasted tomato. Unfortunately, they don't allow you to switch your carbs to a salad, thus forcing you to pay an additional $3, for a salad and yogurt. That works out to be almost $20 with a soda... a bit pricey given this is more of a take-out fast food joint. The food is alright. Pretty average, typical Persian food. The skewers are all quite fresh, tomatoes are BBQ'd fresh. Your rice and meat dishes come with a bit of butter for your to add to your meal too. Also... the amount of rice they give is HYYUUGGGEE. If you're hungry, this is perf for you! Although this place seems mostly to be a takeout joint, they do have a couple tables and some bar chairs available if you'd like to sit in. Credit card is accepted here!
