This small shop located in Leslieville serves up some great sandwiches in a space that is primarily take out only (although there are a few bar/counter spots if you'd like to eat there. They are also open daily from 11am to 9pm. Menu wise, there are 9-10 kinds of sandwiches to choose from. They are all served on a sesame kaiser roll and cut in half. You're also able to add on ingredients on top of the already selected ones in the sandwiches. Each of Lambo's Deli locations also have a special sandwich, where this time when I went, it was the crispy chicken club. They also have soft serve as well (rotating flavours!). I stopped by Lambo's Deli on a Monday morning before the lunch rush and opted to grab: - Italian trio sandwich (soppressata, mortadella, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, picked red onion, arugula, pesto, Calabrian chili spread) - $18 - Soft serve (flavour was hojicha) -$5 Service was friendly and I received my soft serve while waiting for my sandwich to be prepared. It took about 5 min and it was nicely packed. Staff were great and handed me a handful of napkins as well. I ate my sandwich an hour later and before opening the packaging, the sandwich was pretty heavy! Looking at a cross section of the sandwich, it was packed with ingredients! The Italian Trio sandwich was delicious. The roasted red peppers, pickled red onion, arugula, and Calabrian chili spread added freshness to the sandwich which didn't make it feel so heavy with all the deli meats inside as well as the mozzarella cheese. The sandwiches are big and I could only finish half for lunch. Overall, a delicious sandwich shop in Leslieville. Lambo's Deli definitely packs a lot of ingredients in their sandwiches which make for a tasty meal. Be warned, the sandwiches are huge! Also...don't miss out on their soft serve too!

They're well packed with ingredients, and cut in 1/2 if you want to eat 1/2 and save the other for later. Cute deli decor.

My instinct told me they would offer something unique! I wanted to try both poutine and sandwich, but each portion is generous and also a bit pricey side. So, my choice: AAA Flank Steak sandwich, and I was very happy! They asked how well I want the meat to be done. Medium rare. Perfectly done. Portobello, Arugula, Chimichurri, Garlic Aioli. Generous amount of meat, perfect balance with Arugula and seasonings. Loved this. Although I could not try their collection of local beers - as I was on duty - I felt their commitment to the local community - gave me a nice impression.

This time around I picked up a regular size chicken shawarma on the rocks with a drink, which is an everyday special that ran me $8.50. Having been a shawarma-lover for a while, I think I now prefer the smaller size portion (a regular) since it feels lighter, especially when the weather isn't that hot yet. Sauce is always excellent, I never have rice left over by the time I'm out of sauce. Service is nice and quick. Personally, to me a lot of shawarma joints feel the same - they're all quite consistent with flavour, but I do find Taza's chicken shawarma feels less tendon-y? If that's the right word. I'm also a fan of the chicken as I find it less dry, especially when I'm ordering it on the rocks. All in all same great quality, I'll definitely be back soon as soon as I'm in the area

We placed our orders for 2 chicken shawarma plates. It turned out they charge a small fee for using credit cards. I'm not sure if this was something this establishment was doing prior to covid 19 since this was my first visit but you would think amidst this pandemic that a restaurant would discourage the use of cash altogether, but not this place. Mind you, the fee wasn't anything big but it was the principle that matters. Anyway, the food itself wasn't all that good. The chicken was dry, the potatoes were hard, the rice had this buttery taste and their version of the white garlic sauce was something out of a ranch salad dressing bottle.
