The food is consistently good and delicious, however their online ordering system is the absolute worst. This is the fourth time where my I have placed my order for pickup, I arrive at the scheduled time and the counter staff are perplexed and unaware of my order has been placed and accepted ( with both app and text confirmations). I have heard from the staff on each occasion is that it has something to do with the broken but quasi-functioning tablet. For my sake and on behalf of others, I will gladly purchase a replacement device so this issue is resolved once and for all.

We ordered the Pita Bowl with Shawerma to go. Once arriving home and excited to eat it, we discovered it was literally a bed of rice with a few pieces of meat on top and some medicocre tasting sauce. No salad, no pita bread, nothing else included, and definitely not enough meat. Not sure in what world they thought that was presentable to give to a customer, I wish we had seen it before they packaged it to go. I cannot believe that was $16. The place was empty and we were the only customers. Still, we looked at the pictures of the food posted on the walls and thought the items look good. But the reality looks nothing like the photo.

Bowls are called 'Signature Creations'. With each, you choose a protein along with toppings, sauces and heat level. The bowls and boxes also come with either rice, fries or veggies. The rice are called 'rocks', the fries are called 'stix'. So for example, you can order a beef on the rocks, or chicken on the stix . You can also have both fries and rice, this is called 'half and half'. Boxes are considered full meals that incorporate everything mentioned above, along with a salad. When we arrived, the staff were very friendly, location was clean. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak bowl - half and half, with medium heat and a Coke... it was awesome!!! If you're a vegan, they also have a Philly Beyond Meat option. Definitely going back!

They…read moreoffer the standard Kebab shop fare (beef and chicken shawarma, falafel, and variously spiced skewers), but all with a unique, presumably Syrian, spin. My husband's falafel contained a variety of vegetables, and the wrap was toasted to crispy perfection. My son ordered the smoky chicken shawarma, which comes in a smoky, spicy wrap. He said that it was delicious, and unlike any other he's tried with its savory, smoky flavor. My daughter and I each ordered the Aleppo Kebab plate with rice. What a lot of food!! The hummus was so garlicky and well-seasoned, not the bland, pasty stuff that one sometimes encounters. The toum (garlic sauce) was a splendid accompaniment to the smoky beef. I really enjoyed my spicy bread (a flatbread that is dipped in some kind of sauce and then fried, I think). My spice-averse daughter was able to order regular flatbread. The Aleppo Kebab itself was quite mildly and subtly spiced, very flavorful, and exuded the smoky aromas of the grill. The rice, as it is in most middle and near Eastern restaurants, was superb, and flavoured with tumeric. It was a lot of food, and I have enough left over for lunch tomorrow. If you order the platters, I recommend That you order some extra bread to dip into the sauces. They offer a lot of sauce with these platters, all on the side in separate compartments of the take-out container. We were there for take-out, but it is a nice, family oriented atmosphere. The counter was busy all the time, with multiple people coming in for pick up orders. Despite that, the friendly staff takes the time to describe the food choice and make recommendations for future visits. And there will be future visits, at least by me! The parking lot is busy at certain areas, but there is plenty of parking just beyond the restaurant. If you are in the area and are hungry for some Middle Eastern food, the keep Aleppo Kebab in mind!

I wish I had a photo of our spread as they were so nicely prepared. The staff were very kind and made some recommendations from the menu and I browsed the nicely laid out store with shelves full of exotic ingredients I vowed to return to try. The sandwiches were tasty; all toppings were freshly prepared and the variety of traditional Lebanese ingredients and sauces in the two vegetarian sandwiches were so perfect together. We especially loved the fried cauliflower, eggplant and arugula combination in the Veg Cut. Beirut Garden was also scrumptious with mouthwatering halloumi with mint chutney on a soft Schiachiatta bread. The smoked salmon was also prepared on the same bread, as their bagel delivery hadn't arrived yet but this was also very good with lots of capers and red onions. The cold cut platter was well put together and the clients loved the beetroot hummus as well. I can't wait to return to try their hot food take out and all the amazing coffees I saw!

This is a franchise that has definitely blown up recently for their amazing Middle Eastern influenced dishes so I really wanted to check it out. Considering it was Easter Sunday we did have to wait about 25 minutes to be seated, but they were taking reservations as well! The staff greeted us immediately and were very kind. This shop has the cutest decor and the vibe feels like you're in a house having brunch! Keep in mind the prices are quite expensive in comparison to other breakfast joints I have been to. The portion sizes are quite big which compensate for the pricing of the food. When it came to the food, we got quite a few dishes to try out! We ordered the Pulled Beef Benedict (9.5/10 was delicious), Canadian Breakfast (7/10 was alright not the greatest), Chicken & Waffles (6/10 waffles were quite stale and lacked flavour), Biscoff Pancakes (10/10 this was amazing and highly recommend), Mango Strawberry Lemonade (7/10 was alright quite sweet), Spiced Vanilla Latte (5/10 did not taste that great) and the Oreo Milkshake (6/10 was very watery)! Overall the food was alright, I would definitely come back for the Biscoff Pancakes and understand why it went viral online!
