Interesting all-vegan Egyptian menu; however, the bowl I got was fairly ordinary and uninspired,…read morebut satisfying enough. I ordered their "Athens Bowl" through DoorDash, which features baked cauliflower and baked eggplant, on top of a mishmash of various carbs (lentils, chickpeas, white rice, and white macaroni), served with some crispy onions, tomato sauce, and Dakka dressing (a tangy, vinegary, lemony sauce). The order was ready for pick-up when I requested (you have to call them since they don't have a store front) - no issues there. The cauliflower and eggplant were certainly great, but the rest of the bowl is pretty uninspired and lacklustre. It's basically just mixed heavy carbs, made slightly more interesting by the tomato sauce. The hot sauce that's included is very vinegary and not all that complex. Maybe I'll try some of their non-bowl items. As experienced, I wouldn't order the bowl again, but I like their concept and their varied menu.

They add their signature twist, loaded with plant-based proteins and Mediterranean flavours. We tried the Cairo bowl which was a delicious mix of white rice, vermicelli, macaroni, green lentils, fried onions with a tomato sauce on the side. The Hummus and Babaganoush were both delicious. We had it delivered via Door Dash and was impressed with the presentation (pictured). Will be ordering again! Already looking forward to it.

Having been to the Middle East and Mediterranean a few times, I'm obsessed with authentic foods…read morefrom that region. Just the best. I stopped in Jasmine Kitchen fresh off an airplane and WOW. First it was around 3pm, which is dead time for most restaurants. The two men could not have been nicer and my food was fresh and amazing in a clean and cool environment. Even the bathrooms were clean and nice (which is a huge element to the overall experience). Service was great too, even with two men. I order a kofta kebab plate which came with saffron rice and great pita and a small salad and a garlic sauce that would be amazing on a leather boot. I also had the walnut baklava which was about the best I've ever had. The flavors were all spot on - juicy and tender and wonderful - every bite of the whole meal. In fact I was tempted to get the whole thing again. But decided to wait until the VERY next time I'm in town.

The service was super quick and the flavor and quality of ingredients are excellent. The price is reasonable at $16.99 and the portion is generous. They ask if you want to dine in or take out but they are both served in a to-go container with the only difference being you either get a bag or a tray. :) One improvement suggestion would be to provide sriracha hot sauce as many other similar businesses do. Overall I recommend this place for an affordable, delicious, quick meal with no frills.

Just stuck with some tried and true favourites, but came with some friends who hadn't tried it before. The huge slab of piping hot bread definitely raised their eyebrows just as it had done for us when we came in previously. I suggested we all share a small order of the Mixed Plate appetizer, so we did that and there was still plenty left over for me to bring home. My favourite dip in the Mixed Plate is the Babaghannush. I love it so much that I decided to have a separate order of Babaghannush as my main entree! My daughter ordered her beloved Cheese Lovers Pide again, while our friends ordered their own Cheese Lovers Pide as well as a Greek Salad and an order of the Lamb Chops. This is a great place to introduce people to Turkish food.

The menu has a selection of middle eastern cafe standards plus a few unusual choices. You'll find gyros,falafel fries and more. There are lots of vegetarian choices as well as dishes to please the carnivore crowd. I went with something I've never seen offered anywhere else a falafel and eggplant sandwich. It was an absolute delight in every way. It came on a pita with tahini, fresh lettuce and tomato plus some pickles. I'm sure I'll have to come back at some point bc I'll be craving it. The space was very clean, spacious and bright. We were the only ones in there today and it was pleasantly quiet aside from some soft music. Prices seemed appropriate for what we got. Affordable but not super cheap. I can't wait to go back!

The tzatziki sauce was similar. The best thing was the Mediterranean dressing and pita bread. The lentil soup was also bland, needing some spicing up. Overall, it was edible.

Very very casual dining spot. The type of place you can pull up in sweatpants and no one would bat an eye. The food here is delicious, for my quick bite I went with the chicken shawarma sandwich, and it was chock full of protein, veggies, and amazing sauces. I really appreciate when they give you more meat in a sandwich like this, I like mine with a lot of meat and a little veg, and this was exactly that. The chicken was super tender and well seasoned. Will definitely be coming back here to try the kofta plates and Greek fries, they look so delish.
