Heads up on this place - Spicy! I did ask for mild as well, just a hint of spice, but wow - spicy! I couldn't finish my plate. So although my palate couldn't handle it, that doesn't mean you might not find this little local a slice of heaven! read more

I've only ever eaten one thing at the Falafel House, and it ain't the falafels! The chicken shawarmas are, without a doubt, the best I've ever encountered (previously I was a big fan of the now defunct King Shawarma at Queen/Spadina). The chicken is spectacularly savoury and the hot sauce is outta this world. The full range of usual toppings are included, with a bonus of cabbage (if I remember correctly) that's been marinated in lemon... it adds a fantastic unexpected element. The place might look a bit run down, but don't let that scare you away, inside is a world of shawarmas heretofore unknown. I can't think of a better way to spend $5! read more

Omg Oh My Gyro

This is one of our fav gyro spots in the city. Recently when I was in the area, of all the amazing…read morerestaurants here, my SO wanted me to pick up food from here on the way home. So I grabbed myself a large platter of chicken gyro and went on my merry way. If you do delivery, I think they do BOGO or buy one get one half off deal going on (Uber Eats) (regular size) when I was looking. But I decided to just get one large one in person and that was enough to feed both of us for dinner. Just as good as I remembered it. Takeout and deliveries only!

This is everything you'll need for a quick, late-night bite…read more Portions are huge with unlimited toppings and a choice of 3 sauces. I ordered the falafel and while it isn't the best you can find in the city, it will surely satisfy your craving.

Basic salad includes lettuce and tomatoes. There are falafel wraps available for $5. Portion sizes are large, meat tastes alright.

First review on yelp, because of how disgusting this food was…read more Yes, I may be biased growing up in Scarborough with authentic shawarma, but this place does not serve anything remotely close to shawarma, and I was optimistic coming here. Got the beef shawarma salad, as these places usually pile the rice high. The beef was stewing in a tomatoey sauce, what? Gross. (See image for proof) The salads, were tasty though and definitely a lot more authentic than their meat. Wouldn't go back, wouldn't recommend.

As a visitor to Kensington Market, I found Oh My Gyro to be the most welcoming best-value option…read moreand the food tasted great. With any of the wraps, you can get up to 3 sauces (tzatziki, tahini, hummus, hot sauce, etc) and as many of the veggie toppings as you like (LTO, cukes, pickled turnip, pickles, red cabbage, and fries!). We had the chicken gyro which had a generous amount of shaved meat, and the falafel wrap which seemed to have 8 nuggets of falafel. All in all, the 2 wraps together cost less than 20 Canadian dollars, definitely a relief from the tourist-trap prices found at many places on Kensington. Service was prompt and friendly.

Worst experience ever at this restaurant. Do not eat here…read more If ever you feel discriminated or racially profiled, you can call the small business bureau or you can write a review on Google, Yelp or uber eats, skip the dishes. As soon as I walked in the morning food attendant--maybe Pakistani or West Indian scram at me. He asked me what I wanted in a loud voice. Then I told him my order and he demanded payment right away before making my order. I informed him that usually you make the order first then you pay, once the order is at the cash--not before the foods made. He replied--if you can't pay get out! Mind you I am well educated and that day I was wearing new clothes. I take pride in my appearance and dress well. As a new guy came in, he was able to order food no problem without paying. The next guy ordered a few items without paying and waited patiently for his food. This behavior is unacceptable and discriminatory. I could sue for discrimination.

It ranked 2nd out of 4 for Isaan food. It was good food, but not in the top 20%. I did try the signature som tam, but I would try a different dish if I went again. I've definitely eaten better som tam, and I think I've made it myself too. Service was attentive but a couple things went awry. This is the only Thai restaurant I can remember where I asked for quite spicy, didn't find it spicy enough, asked for more spice and then what they gave me was the same not spicy. I might go again, but I might not.

Gusto 101

We always order 2 things on repeat everytime we come here: -…read moreMafalde ai funghi - Octopus Then we try out another appetizer and a different pasta dish. The hype about the mafalde ai funghi is right on the dot, It's super truffle forward, and VERY creamy. My favorite thing about Gusto is nothing is overly salty. A big pet peeve of mine is when dishes are salty, because I truly like to taste the ingredients. The mafalde is one of the dishes where it's not heavily salted so the flavor of truffle and cream is really delicious! Gusto has become my repeat italian and will continue to be! Unless they remove the mafalde off the menu The only downside is that it's very loud at gusto because there are a lot of tables super close together. So i really only come here for a casual date rather than super special. Take that into account if you're planning something special!
