People serving were polite and accommodating to our needs. The food was fresh and cooked in front of us. Everything tasted great, however the food was quite greasy. Be prepared to eat a very heavy snack. The portions were enough for me to be able to share with my daughter and still have some left over. The place was clean and neat, with simple decor. In conclusion, we enjoyed the meal but I'd prefer a lower fat option if possible.

Two things that caught my eye was1)Chicken chunk fries. 2)Butter Chicken Lasagne. Other than that just a random place for me ...there was no fries on the side or drink....so just the shwarma with $5.99 plus tax. Girl was pretty sweet and friendly. They are open untill midnight...12am for late night ppl....hehe..

We chose this restaurant because we love Middle Eastern food and because it had the highest rating…read morefor nearby restaurants. And it measured up in every way! We don't eat enormous quantities, so I can only comment on the fabulous Baba Ghanouj and the Donair meat sandwich. Donair is lamb and beef; the sandwich was wrapped in pita bread, filled chock full of meat, lettuce, onions, garlic and accompanied by delicious pickles (unlike store-bought, maybe sour?) and Tahini sauce. The Baba was unlike what usually passes for that, but small chop of eggplant, tomatoes, with pomegranate seeds and sauce. It was just fabulous! We were in the area for a competition, so stopped by again the next day to sample something else. Needed just a snack, so had another eggplant concoction, Mutabel. It was also delicious and more like what is served as Baba Ghanouj in the States. Very garlicky and delicious. The prices were reasonable. We had a nice chat with the family who runs the restaurant, who are refugees from Syria, a really nice family. The restaurant is decorated with lovely inlay pieces, and Syrian art. The service was friendly and quick though most tables were full at lunch.

I recommended upgrading to the Barbari bread We also started with the Shiraz salad - this was the only thing we ordered today that was ordinary The Koobideh Kebob and the Dahl Addas were delightful Please note that that we had loads of rice because both the Kebob and the Addas came with sumptuous quantities Overall a very nice experience It's been a few years since I came here last and I'm sure my next trip will not take as long

We peeked inside. It was busy and with quite a few Persians. We decided to try it. I am so glad that we tried it. Everything that we ordered was outstanding. We got the Rayhoon trio sampler, Addas Palo, and lamb shank. The trio sampler was basically 3 different dippings and came with a basket of bread. The owner was very nice. While we were enjoying the food, he walked up and greeted. He explained how we could use the trio sampler to enjoy the entrees which really made it even better. Following the suggestion, I put a little bit of lamb sauce over the rice and put a little bit of yogurt sauce over a small piece of lamb, then ate them all in one spoon.... It was amazing!

Most of their business is take out although there is room for maybe four people to sit at two counters. The owner was super friendly and accommodating. I asked him to make me a vegetarian plate of mixed salads and falafel while I moved my car. (The lot behind the restaurant doesn't belong to them and you'll get towed!) The pita, humus, babaganoush, papas bravos, and pickled turnips were very good. The standouts: 1. the lightest, airiest falafel I've ever had. If I knew felafel could be this good, I'd order it more often. 2. Rice with cardamum pods. Why have I never had cardmum in rice before? I've eaten at literally dozens of Middle Eastern restaurants, and this was a first. It was a new taste and absolutely raised the bar on the rice. Finally It's about Thyme was a bargain. I think I paid C$15 for an overflowing plate of food plus a bottle of water. The portion was so generous that I took it home and ate the leftovers for lunch the following day. And here's a lagniappe: the restaurant is across the street from the Salem Chapel British Methodist Episcopal Church where Harriet Tubman was a member.

We were driving through Canada and Chaat Spot looked cute, so we decided to have lunch. After 10…read moredays of extremely bland Canadian food, I was hoping an ethnic restaurant would be more flavorful and exciting. I'm happy to say that Chaat Spot, well, hit the spot! The menu is very confusing. I eventually decided on a chicken biryani bowl, and the friendly lady taking our order asked what spice level I wanted. I replied "Zero." Man oh man, I am GLAD I didn't say any higher, because my lunch lit me up! I was sweating and coughing and burning from the spice! The flavor was excellent, but it was hot hot hot. I was shocked at how gigantic the portion was, too. This was easily enough for two people to share. We immediately regretted ordering the Indian crispy spring rolls for an appetizer, as they were also HUGE (I'd say enough for 3 to 4 people, no joke). The food was good, just very spicy. It also took a while to prepare, so allow at least 20 minutes to get your entrees. This is a quick service spot, and there's no soda fountain so drinks are expensive an in sealed bottles. I would've loved a gallon of water because my mouth was so on fire! Two things I really did not like about this place: 1. The chicken is dark meat. I was expecting chicken breast, and I ended up not eating the protein. There was also way too much in my dish. 2. The atmosphere isn't great. When we were there, the music was SO LOUD that we couldn't hear the employee call our order number. Seriously, turn it down. It was painful and unpleasant. I'd dock the place another star but the nice lady did turn down the music when she realized none of the customers could hear her, lol.
