The setup is very similar to Subway where you go up to counter to order, pick your toppings, then you can sit down or take it to go. The food quality is excellent! Not a big menu, but still very good offering beef or chicken in either dish or sandwich format. They also have a number of appetizers and sides to choose from. In the end we tried both the Chicken Shawarma plate and the Beef Shawarma sandwich (or wrap). The beef sandwich was my favourite, added onions, lettuce, tomato, hot peppers, Tahini sauce and hot sauce, spectacular! Order it in a combo and you get regular fries and a drink. The chicken dish also came with Basmati rice, roasted potatoes (awesome), salad, hummus and pita bread. Garlic sauce and hot sauce on the chicken, again very good. Tried both the Falafel and Samosa appetizers. They were both very good, but I found them both a bit dry because the don't offer proper dips for them, like a mango chutney or something. Overall I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be going back!

It's not exactly the type of place you'd take someone for a date, though. I ordered the Crown Combo for $9.99 + tax. I inhaled the shawarma (well-seasoned meat!), and couldn't stop eating the garlic fries despite them being a little on the soggy side. I'd come back. :)

This is a bit of an odd place. It's located at what appears to be the back of a building. Although…read morethere are signs on the sides of the tiny building and on the door, it could easily be mistaken for the service entrance to one of the other two businesses occupying the building. Despite my reservations, I entered and walked into a tiny space that actually had seating for 6-8 diners. The really odd thing about this place, it has no windows! There was a very young fellow taking orders at the cash and two adults who I'm going to assume were his parents. I was the only guest at the time and I was looking over their menu on the wall above the counter, deciding what to order. None of them offered any suggestions and actually didn't say anything unless I asked a question, you know, like "What do you recommend?" Silence. No points for customer service. Noticing the two vertical rotisseries, I ordered the dinner plate to go, which included a choice of beef or chicken shawarma, rice, potatoes, and salad. I chose the large size for 11.99. The medium was 9.99. No price shown for small. It ended up being a lot of food crammed into a styrofoam box. And then he asked me if it was "for here or to go?" It was already in a takeout box! I had no desire to sit and eat in this tiny little closet. Anyway, there really was a lot of food stuffed into the box. The salad was delicious. I'm not sure what all the components were but it tasted really good. The fries had gotten a bit soggy but they were still okay. The rice was tasty and plentiful. I had gotten a combination of beef and chicken shawarma and both tasted good but the serving was a bit small compared to all the sides, making it not so great value for the price. But it did taste good. If the atmosphere and customer service were more inviting, I would probably go back but there are too many other places to consider.

Didn't even charge me extra for the garlic sauce!! This taste AMAZING!!! All this (Mixed Beef & Chicken Sharma dinner) for just $14.99 + tax!! There was a LOT of food!! The size was super generous. Comes with a huge pita, lots of meat with choices rice or roasted potatoes and veggies of your choice (there were a lot more selections but I just picked out what I liked) plus a drink. Their hummus and garlic spread were sooo good!!!! I'm not a fan of hummus but really enjoyed the tangy flavour and I think there's also Baba Ganoush (an eggplant spread) mixed in together.

They made big mistake with my order but they were great at owning up to it and showed exemplary service in doing so. They got the grape vine wraps which goes great with fries. I will go back just for this. Keep in mind shawarma on weekdays may not be freshly grilled but kept in containers they scoop out of, or regrilled. But the beef shawarma good either way. Sauces for sharwarma in addition to regular sauces they have there is also a yogurt like sauce addition that give great taste. But all the side toppings does lean toward the saltier side. I'd recommend asking to replace all with rice. Lettuce on weekday seems a bit old, brown and yellow spots... try to go on weekends Eggplant dip bought separately tasted sadly underwelming but might be a thing for some people. I had much tastier eggplant dips especially the canned ones. Theirs seems home made. Their food is decent 3/5 and service 4/5. You will feel people working there cares, unlike Made in Mexico on main st new location in my recent trip. For competing sharwarma there is always Sharwarma Land on Yonge st to try around ten min drive south. The lack of fresh veggies and meat on weekdays sadly lowers rating.

Ok this is a serious and objective review. I ordered the chicken wrap and five piece falafel…read moreThe wrap is a Lebanese Saj type flat bread, and the chicken is very moist and packed with flavour. Toppings were fresh and balanced. The whole thing has an authentic flavour that reminds me of early 90's middle eastern restaurants. I would give it a solid 4 out of 5. A 5 is not possible. There is no perfect wrap. This one is exceptional. The falafel was equally wonderful. Made with chick peas and not fava. Simply seasoned and fried to absolute perfection. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The tahini dipping sauce is complex with hints of mint (never had that in a tahini ever) very very nice. And asked for a garlic dipping sauce which was pretty standard but very nice. 4.5 out of 5 Overall this is a hidden gem in the world of Osmow's and Shawarma on every corner, this spot is a hit. Tucked back on Mountain across from Food Basics.

The falafel deserves a special mention--it was hands down the best falafel I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, light and flavorful on the inside, and cooked to perfection.

The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming, and make you feel appreciated as a customer. The portions are huge, the ingredients are fresh, and every bite was delicious.

It is in a plaza in the middle of nowhere. There are a lot of construction workers who come here for food. The food portion is huge, VERY HUGE.

One pita comes with only one drink, but the owner gave us a drink for free and allowed us to sample some chicken before ordering. I don't think I will come back for the food again. This place is famous, I guess, because of the portions.

Their menu is simple, offering chicken, beef, or vegetables in your choice of pita, laffa, or in a bowl with rice or salad. We opted for the Chicken Shawarma Laffa and the Falafel Rice Bowl. Both dishes were prepared for takeout, reflecting the casual atmosphere of this place. Disposable cutlery and napkins were readily available. Laffa, if you're unfamiliar is like an Iraqi flatbread. The chicken shawarma was wrapped tightly in it, along with a generous amount of vegetables, with more vegetables on the side. This was very flavourful. The Falafel Rice Bowl, a vegetarian dish, was served with rice and vegetables. It was very colourful and delicious! Overall, the food was very flavourful and we enjoyed it a lot.
