Kebob (beef and lamb) in a laffa.
Geremy S.

I came here with a friend for lunch. I love middle eastern and mediterranean food so I was pretty excited! There was only one other occupied table, though parking took a while because the lot was pretty full from the other businesses in the plaza. There was only one waitress working, which made sense considering the number of patrons in the restaurant. She gave us the menus and brought out the usual side dishes but we had to ask for utensils...but it took a while to be able to ask her because she kind of disappeared after bringing out the sides and our waters! As a result, there were a few minutes where we were just staring at the food, contemplating whether to eat it with our hands out of desperation because we were so hungry, even though the lettuce was kind of wilted. Luckily we were able to hold off until our utensils came, which is when we ordered our food. The waitress was nice enough but the service wasn't particularly friendly or memorable. I got a kebob (beef and lamb) in a laffa with a side of fries, and asked for fries to be put inside the laffa too. My friend got something similar, also with fries inside. Of course, when the food came out, there were no fries to be found inside either of our wraps. We had fries on the side anyway, so we didn't bother waiting for the food to be remade after telling the waitress that there were no fries inside. But seriously, we were two of four customers inside the restaurant and the other customers already had their food. There's no excuse to NOT have the order done correctly. I'm still giving three stars because even without the fries, the kebob in a laffa was really, really good. The laffa in particular was really nice and chewy. The fries on the side were also good, but it's hard to mess up fries. Despite the issues I had, I would consider coming back here one more time to see if this was just an off-day.

Well I don't know where to start, while I read a lot of the other comments I wonder why everyone is it only giving it two stars. I had an excellent dinner at the restaurant and as I looked around I noticed everyone around me was too. My girlfriend and I started by being greeted with an assortment of crackers, pickled vegetables, and lightly pickled beets. As someone who doesn't enjoy beets I found myself finishing off the bowl that I was given. After being served water I began to look over the menu, I read a lot of the reviews on this site about the shawarma in a laffa and I had to say while it wasn't the best chicken shawarma I've had. It was still decent, what blew me away though was the other food being served in the restaurant as well as what my girlfriend got. Taking a look around I noticed a lot of people getting the beef ribs which looked absolutely amazing. (Made me regret my choice of getting shawarma) My girlfriend got the chicken schnitzel which was fairly decent, average fries that are served at most restaurants around the GTA. The Chicken Schnitzel is served with a complete laffa, a salad (decent size), and as well as a side choice along with the schnitzel my girlfriend ended up bringing half of it home due to how much food she received. Lastly what impressed me the most was the owner who dropped into our table (as well as everyone else's) and proceeded to ask if we had been there before and if we lived in the area, after the small chit-chat he offered us free dessert. While we were so stuffed from the meal I was unsure of how I would be able to fit in anymore. Well I managed to as the baklava as well as the other dessert we were brought were fantastic. The baklava is one of the best I've ever had, it was a little sweet but otherwise amazing. All in all a great restaurant i really like the vibe, I don't know if they have recentely stepped up but this has become one of my favourite restaurants in the neighbourhood.

“Amazing kebabs (especially the chicken) and beef ribs, which are hard to find in other kosher restaurants.”

We came to Watercolour for our anniversary dinner and had such a lovely experience!…read more The restaurant itself is beautiful, with tall ceilings, a warm and elegant interior, and cozy booth seating that makes it especially nice for a date night. The location on Unionville Main Street is also a big plus, and they have a really nice patio that would be perfect for dining outside when the weather is nice. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the mussels and octopus, and both were excellent. I especially love the charred flavour in the octopus. And the baguettes that came with the mussels are so addicting as well. Love the little kick in the broth! For our mains, we ordered the striploin and seafood risotto. The striploin was cooked perfectly and full of flavour, while the seafood risotto was creamy and packed with seafood. Our server was attentive, friendly, and very helpful with his recommendations. He gave us his honest opinion when we were deciding between the tenderloin and striploin. We ended up choosing to try more dishes instead of spending $185 on the bone-in tenderloin in the end. And even though we ordered way too much food for just the two of us, we cleared EVERYTHING! they were that delicious! We'd definitely come back for more food!

Came here for our Anniversary dinner, nothing was done like what they tend to do at places like…read moreJoey but seems like only for birthdays - not that I was expecting anything but wanted to see if there was something in comparison. You'll need reservations here for sure and best to reserve a table not the day before otherwise they'll have bar tops available. They have a second floor for a more private dining which is nice for small groups or couples, the washrooms are downstairs, floors are slippery - be careful! When we got there we got to choose between the alcohol side or kitchen bar, we chose the alcohol bar side since the bartender Jasmine greeted me immediately and complimented my outfit. This is a pricey place, more a high end kind of restaurant so if you're looking for a cheaper place, don't go here obviously. Food was pretty decent with what we ordered. The only that didn't stand out whatsoever was the salmon. I've been to many high end restaurants and in other countries so salmon isn't much of a hit typically. They sold out of the bass fillet and the mussels (specials for the night/week - forgot what Jasmine said) so if you want to try these, order asap! Drinks were great! I asked for a Caesar as my second/third drink and wanted a specific amount of spice, Jasmine just came with the tabasco and put the amount I wanted, thank goodness! I feel like we definitely got the best service sitting by the drinks bar with Jasmine just genuinely kind and chatting with us. We had a great time and will definitely be coming here again.

Fantastically fresh food that's family-friendly…read more Food: Had a couple of dishes to share, starting with the garden salad that was very fresh and cool, perfect for a home summer day yet with a hint of sweetness that made it bright and vibrant. The hummus with mushroom was also very unique, it tasted very earthy and balanced the pita very well, providing some chew and meatiness to the dish. The pide was also very nice and crispy, and you can taste each ingredient separately on the pide yet it all melds together with the fragrant spices combine it all. Service: There was plenty of seating available in the restaurant, and the people were all very friendly. As it was our first time, the server helped provide some recommendations and walked us through some favourites on the menu. Atmosphere: The place was a nice and clean, but nothing spectacular in terms of design. Seats were comfortable enough, although the tables were fairly close together.

I landed at the airport and had to make the drive to North Bay. Before the drive I made a quick…read morestop in in Sofra Istanbul for a late lunch/early dinner. There is construction on 400 so it can be tricky to get here. You might have to go one exit passed Steeles and come back but it's worth it. Because of the time I went , there was only on other person in the dining room. You can see back into the kitchen. I like that be because the dining room usually smells pretty good. The server was from Turkey and he had a bit of an accent which made me think the food would be a little more authentic. On the recommendation of the server I got the Cokertme Kebab. It doesn't quite look like it does in the menu picture but it was really good. The beef strips were well seasoned and tender. The yogurt complimented the beef very well and the chips added good texture. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

First time trying Shelby's after seeing all their trending funny reels but never had a chance…read morebecause their spots are outside Toronto in the burbs. We ordered the chicken shawarma and the legendary bowl with mixed protein. I dressed my wrap with spicy garlic and it just had a tiny bit of heat and it was perfect. I really enjoyed the fresh saj bread that it's wrapped in. It really sets it apart from all the shawarma places around town. The legendary bowl is also really good with a generous amount of protein and my SO love the roasted cauliflower on top though he says the fries in the bowl is not as good as another shawarma he enjoys downtown and would order the crispy wrap for next time. The space is really on theme and matches the catchphrases from their reels and even the receipt gives you a waiver warning about using ketchup on their shawarma. I love how they have the tablets so you can order and check the offerings to disperse the line and wait. It's not as fast as the usual fast food, shawarma spots but the quality is certainly up there. It doesn't look busy but they have a steady flow of online deliveries/pickups. The only feedback is the receipts seem really long because they include the waiver to not use ketchup in each receipt. Since they ask for your number to order on the tablet, probably just include it the first time. We forgot to order a drink and ordered it separately and it is unnecessary to print another long receipt again for one drink. Lastly a curious question I have is why the name Shelby's? Given the Middle-Eastern food, I wonder why an English-origin name.
