Not even Tim Horton…read more Usually coming home to visit means I've never had to eat out once since Mama would be cooking all things Italian for days.. but this trip was different. That too after 2 years of not seeing my family. In short, I needed food! And this place I found thanks to DoorDash. Yelp isn't popular here and nobody uses it/ add or update it. I ordered while getting a car in airport nervously! I mean they could be closed. No idea where this was etc. Drove up to a popping spot! All men, disco lights and hookahs. I never look so out of place walking in. Food took longer than it said! I waited in my car. But surprisingly, food was delicious!! I ate the salad, hummus before I ate rice and kabob. Like finished it. Refreshingly good 12:30 am meal!! Rice was a little too Al dente. Kabob was good. Over ordered and got a shawarma too which was huge. The Fatoush/ salad with pita chips was bomb.com! So good! I hate chips but this was delicious. Glad I found something based on DoorDash. Definitely a good find since not many places are open this late! Or after midnight on Sunday! $25 CAD for all this food too!

I initially went to try the Pistachio latte but I was curious about the Spanish latte after reading over the menu. It had condensed milk in it and that is what won me over. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and it actually was really refreshing. The staff were friendly and took their time to explain what their lattes consisted of. The inside was quite big and decorated very nice. I will be going back to try the Pistachio latte this week. If you are in the area and want to try a new place for coffee. Go here!!

One interesting thing was that there ordering was automated through tablets only. I am sure that you could walk to the pick up counter and they would take your order though. Got the Legendary Mixed Shawarma bowl with extra spicy garlic sauce. One thing that I liked that others may not is that none of the flavors are particularly overpowering. The spicy garlic sauce isn't too hot, the pickles and onions weren't too strong. Also, the rice wasn't too dry and the meat wasn't too charred so everything came together in a nice tasty but mellow blend. The legendary size bowl has a ton of rice, which is great and what I expected. My only wish was that there was a bit more meat. Overall, it is worth a try and definitely satisfying my shawarma craving!

I honestly couldn't find anything seriously wrong with the meal, it had nice subtle flavours (but I'm basically trying to find a diplomatic way of saying I found them kind of boring, taste-wise) Me and my husband both agreed that by the end of it, we felt like we'd both just eaten a whole bunch of bread and little else. All I can say is that if you've never tried manakish before and you're expecting something wild and exciting, prepare to be disappointed.

This…read morelocation is called "Shawarma Royale Plus" meaning it offers both "Shawarma Royale" and "Pinochio Desserts". They had their Grand Opening back in late December and has been fully operational ever since. I really love the restaurant decorations as it gives away home vibes. The owner is very nice and deeply cares about providing great customer experience. We tried both "Beef&Lamb" and "Chicken" shawarma and they were both fresh and tasty. I am a big fan of Kebab (specially on rice) and always make sure to order one. So I tried "Kebab of Rice" and really enjoyed its taste and quality. Parking can be tricky, as there's limited parking spots available in front of the restaurant. But there are extra parking spaces available in the parking lot on the other side of the street.

The restaurant is fairly large, lots of seating to accommodate a busy rush. I tried the Hot and Cheesy queen wrap which is a shawarma wrapped in hot Cheetos. It was pretty decent.

I had my heart set on trying this particular wrap but they had other menu options that looked much more appealing. I will be going back.

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. St. Catherarines, Ontario was one of the end points for the Underground Railroad.
