    This is my favourite shawarma spot. Shawarma's are yummy when made properly. But so many places in the city make horrible shawarma's and charge high prices. As a standard rule, if the spit isn't loaded I don't eat there. The whole point of meat on a spit is for the fat to drip down and give it flavour. Liberty Shawarma always has a spit that's loaded. I used to live in liberty village and would go to that location a lot. I just happened to be on the east side and tried this location. It was so good. The guy cut it directly off the spit for me. I think that's the best way to have it really. Because sometimes they'll cut it off then leave it to sit and it gets burnt and crispy. The large is 8.99 and on certain days they have a two small for $10 special. It's good if you're on the go. Or if you want a burrito type thingamajig without all the calories. So yeah, decent spot just make sure it's cut off the spit fresh and feast! FYI, have the green hot sauce. ****Just as I was going to post this review I Googled them & dinesafe. My stars have been reduced to reflect what I found, YIKES!

    Bite out of the samosa because I was too hungry!

    Pretty good, but pretty bland. The person working was really nice but couldn't save the lame falafel - Same with the vegetarian samosa

    I went to Liberty Shawarma on Queen East for a quick bite to eat during lunch. Walking in, it was the first I've heard of the place, but I quickly discovered that this location was one of three that existed across the city. My guess was that the Liberty Village location on Atlantic was the first, given the namesake of this Middle Eastern joint. So three locations...this place must be good, right? Well, I can tell you that Liberty Shawarma's food is fresh, tasty, and priced well. Nothing screams value like their Monday special: two shawarma chicken sandwiches for $9.99, especially considering their small is usually $6.99. You would think they would try to scrimp on quality and size but that simply isn't the case. They took what I consider a medium-sized pita (x2) and packed it to the brim with fresh ingredients: onions, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles with succulent pieces of chicken topped with garlic sauce and optional green hot sauce. Fantastic! There was just the right amount of sauce as the sandwich was moist but it didn't drip (this held true even with the second sandwich that I saved for dinner) - a plus if you are on the go. If ever in the neighborhood, I would definitely go back... especially for their daily specials.

    Rock hard still use as paper weight!

    Came here for a second time to give it a chance and lord have mercy I wish I didn't very rude overall. The rice was scraped from the bottom as it was rock hard and crunchy. The salad leafs were brown and tasted off. The falalef was a complete joke. It was rock hard and tasted burnt. Upon servicing it I was like are you seriously going to serve this and they both looked at me like what's the problem yea it's a little hard but that's the way it's supposed to be. Never again no more chances and just because it's late and the only place open I'd rather go home and have boiled eggs or starve!!!

    This is my favorite shawarma spot in the city. Their garlic sauce is so good and the pita shawarmas are huge. The value is great.

    I ordered two salads from Mandy's and was extremely disappointed. Both were overwhelmingly kale and…read morequinoa, with very few of the advertised ingredients. There were barely any walnuts, and despite paying for extra cranberries, there were hardly any included. The kale made up most of the salads, yet it was tough & difficult to chew. Most importantly, these salads were by no means worth the price. For what was charged, I expected fresh ingredients and a reasonable balance of toppings. Instead, I received bowls that were mostly kale and quinoa, with the premium ingredients largely absent. What turned a disappointing meal into a terrible experience was the complete lack of accountability afterward. When I contacted Mandy's, I was directed to Uber Eats. Unfortunately, dealing with Uber Eats customer support was even more frustrating than receiving the food itself. The support process felt automated, impersonal, and entirely focused on closing the complaint rather than addressing the issue. Despite providing details about the poor quality of the food, my concerns were not taken seriously and no meaningful resolution was offered. Customers order through delivery platforms expecting some level of protection when food arrives in unacceptable condition. In this case, neither the restaurant nor Uber Eats seemed willing to take responsibility. Poor food quality is one thing; poor customer service from both companies makes the experience far worse. I won't be ordering from Mandy's again, and this experience has significantly reduced my confidence in Uber Eats as well.

The service was really great too and the store is clean and organized. The lady who helped us out was very nice and attentive. Great spot!

    There are several things that I want to bring up with this location…read more PROs The pros are that the food provided is great, it tastes good and is healthy which is one of the main goals of going to the establishment. If you are aiming for healthy eats, then this is the place to hit up. Its in the downtown core and is accessible. They also offer a killer Portuguese Tart to wrap up a meal! CONs Unfortunately, this is where it goes off the rails a bit. Some of the cons to the location is that the price point isn't in line with other similar locations in the area. I get more salad/rice bowls from Salus just up the street for $5 cheaper. There is no differentiator between the two on this level. I think its reflected in the customer presence as well as I've rarely seen the location filled at lunch. I would say the return for a $20 rice bowl, the amount of rice and protein provided was concerning and miniscule in comparison to competitors in the area. The last con I have is that the location doesn't operate in cash which may be uncommon these days, but it can be annoying to those who do and don't have alternative ways of paying. The food is fine, but comparable and cheaper options are available nearby. I have no compelling reason to return here and that is one of the issues I face when I think about this location. Give the public something different or at a more competitive price to succeed.

I've actually had Brasa previously many years ago for a Yelp event but this time I decided to stop by the Queen St. location to grab dinner. Their menu boasts unique flavours where ingredients are fresh and nutritious. I decided to order a bowl from their phone app where my order was made in about 15 min. Upon arriving at Brasa, the space is accessible where the cashier/food counter area is to your right. On the left there is bar seating where you could enjoy your items there. I mentioned to staff that I was there to pick up my food where it was already made. In terms of food, I ordered the tuna ceviche bowl (Organic tricolour Peruvian quinoa, marinated tuna, avocado and sweet potato blossoms, two types of Peruvian corn, finely sliced red onion) which cost around $17. I had the bowl for dinner and it felt super healthy with the quinoa, avocado, and tuna! The ingredients tasted great together and the crunchy corn added a crunchy textural element to the bowl. Overall, a healthy alternative in the Queen/University area!

    Great spot if you're looking for something healthy and budget friendly. Great value for the price…read more Portions are huge! Theres a great variety of fresh ingredients inspired by Peruvian cuisine. Service is always great and there's a few spots to dine in.

They had so many variations of these bowls and lots of vegan and vegetarian options to choose from. The service via Uber Eats was quick and had no issues with that. When it came to the food, I was certainly underwhelming. I was not a fan of the Smoky Chipotle bowl and had thought I would love it based on the ingredients in the bowl. I found it lacked flavour and was just completely bland. The sauces had a weird aftertaste and I just did not enjoy the bowl overall. I hope the rest of their bowls are good and I just got a one off not pleasant one. I don't think I would be ordering again from this place. 5/10 recommend!

It's awesome for anyone who's tracking their intake or just appreciates getting a perfectly balanced meal. Beyond the great food, the staff was super friendly and genuinely helpful. The prices are totally fair for the quality you get. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area and looking for a quick, healthy bite.
