Great local middle eastern restaurant!! My husband, father and kids got takeout this weekend from…read morethis restaurant. We tried the falafel, chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, hummus, babagnoush, tabbouleh, fattoush and pickled things. It was SO GOOD. Authentic full flavours - Spiced to perfection. The falafels were light and soft. The meats were spiced so nicely. We stuffed ourselves and had leftovers - the portions are generous. We will absolutely go back and recommend to anyone looking for good middle eastern food in the area.

Finally, a good Middle Eastern joint in my hood. Have been waiting for this for a looooong time. We…read moregot takeout here last night and everything was great. Chicken shwarma plate and falafel plate were very flavourful and generous (enough for lunch the next day). Falafel sandwich was huge too but my son somehow managed to devour the whole thing. Owners were lovely and we were offered stuffed grape leaves and beef to try while waiting (those were delish too). We'll definitely be back. Location is especially convenient in the summer as it's right on the way to the parks and baseball fields along lakefront promenade.

The pizza at Tov-Li is absolutely amazing! I could marry their pizza, it's that good.

This is some of the tastiest falafel in the city. The beautiful falafels are large, meaty and…read moremoist. There are lots of herbs to add to the taste. They fry the falafel to order, as should always be the case. They pack the pita generously with lots of falafel balls and different salads. I like that their salad is slaw-based, which is a departure from the norm. I usually ask for hummus and fried eggplant. The pizza in this place is also very good.

Close by, but probably overlooked, it's a standard falafel place I'd say…read more Hot sauce is spicy enough, falafel made fresh. Not too busy, but ample seating is available.

This is one of the greater mid east joints in toronto. My…read morefriends rave about their mini falafels that are bite size and delish, but I always settle for the kefta kebab dinner with rice and salad. Portions are generous. It is extremely clean here! There are seats with tables to enjoy your food, and you can stand at the front and watch your food being made. The workers are all very kind people. Will always go back without a doubt.

Located by the Value Village on Victoria park, this place is known for cheap and quick shawarmas…read more They commonly have 2 shawarma or 3 shawarma sandwich deals which are pretty good. On this occasion, we got the gyro sandwich and the beef shawarma sandwich. Decent amount of gyro but definitely looks commercially made and reheated. Flavor is good. Toppings were fresh and sauces/hummus were tasty. Beef shawarma was a bit on the dry side but stil decently good flavor. The shawarma are okay sized, not super filled but decently filled. I do feel like it would take 1.5 sandwiches to satisfy me for lunch. Price: Pretty cheap if you buy 2 or 3 so bring someone to share with you!

recently visited Pita Golden Pocket, and it was one of the best shawarma experiences I've had. I…read moreordered the shawarma plate, and everything was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The falafel deserves a special mention--it was hands down the best falafel I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, light and flavorful on the inside, and cooked to perfection. The place is spotless, and you can tell they take pride in both the quality of their food and the cleanliness of the place. The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming, and make you feel appreciated as a customer. The portions are huge, the ingredients are fresh, and every bite was delicious. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality shawarma and amazing falafel, Pita Golden Pocket is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be coming back!"

This place is pretty popular on social media. It has strange opening hours because it is closed on…read moreweekends. However, we got a Friday off and decided to come here. It is in a plaza in the middle of nowhere. There are a lot of construction workers who come here for food. The food portion is huge, VERY HUGE. We ordered one pita for both of us, which was more than enough. Everyone there ordered a huge order. The owner was very friendly. It was our first time there. One pita comes with only one drink, but the owner gave us a drink for free and allowed us to sample some chicken before ordering. I don't think I will come back for the food again. This place is famous, I guess, because of the portions.

Visited them a few days ago for lunch. We tried their…read morefalafel, they were very good. Moist, fresh and flavourful on the inside and crispy on the outside; exactly how a good falafel should be. (7 $) We also tried their oven baked salmon entree. It was very bland, not seasoned well and a little rare. It came with parisienne potatoes with were bland too(no salt/pepper; just seasoned with garlic and dill) as was the salad which was served with the entree. (22 $) Wife had a caeser salad for lunch. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The parmesan was generous and flavourful but the salad lacked the dressing and tasted a little bland as rest of the meal. (10 $) The tea however was very nice. It was orange pekoe tea bag, served with mint leaves and a cinnamon stick. We'll definitely try this at home. (1.50 $ each) The restaurant is located in the industrial area, in the middle of nowhere. If it weren't for the groupon we wouldn't have ventured in the area. It was lunch hour and we were the only two customers there, which was very unusual considering this is located in an area where there are companies/offices all around. I think the price of the food might have to do something with it. The food was pretty pricey for everyday office lunch. These kind of prices would have only made sense in the financial district. There was a stage there. It seemed that there would be music performance during the weekends/evenings. Wish them all the best as they are new and still discovering themselves. Would love to see them succeed and be able to draw crowd to the location. Cheers!

Dizengoff Opening…read more In recent weeks a new Middle eastern restaurant emerged on the Toronto scene. Replacing the original Dr. Laffa location the owners did some serious upgrades to both decor and menu. The food here is quite good. A different season for every dish from most of the other places in the area. I enjoyed 3 of the classic dishes. Falafel Plate which was crunchy on the outside and came with a nice Dip. The Chicken sandwich was the large portion which was great to share and was very filling. The hummus ful was a meal on its own. These 3 plates 2 guys could not put it all down and was a reasonable $30 for a sit down lunch. With a full menu and even kids options at $10 I see some great success as word will spread.

Their menu is simple, offering chicken, beef, or vegetables in your choice of pita, laffa, or in a bowl with rice or salad. We opted for the Chicken Shawarma Laffa and the Falafel Rice Bowl. Both dishes were prepared for takeout, reflecting the casual atmosphere of this place. Disposable cutlery and napkins were readily available. Laffa, if you're unfamiliar is like an Iraqi flatbread. The chicken shawarma was wrapped tightly in it, along with a generous amount of vegetables, with more vegetables on the side. This was very flavourful. The Falafel Rice Bowl, a vegetarian dish, was served with rice and vegetables. It was very colourful and delicious! Overall, the food was very flavourful and we enjoyed it a lot.
