I'm so happy to be back at Laziza Mediterranean Cuisine for this beautiful Chicken Shawarma Plate!…read moreOh how I missed you so much! I've had two terrible chicken shawarmas in Scarborough that were so damn dry that I've been dreaming of this platter at Laziza on Bloor near Dovercourt. The chicken is always so juicy and full of flavour. And the portions are always enough for 3 meals for me. And the rainbow colours of the veggies always brings me joy to look at! Their hummus and creamy garlic sauce are organic and fantastic. Make sure you get their roasted potatoes when they ask! Not many seats but we got one this time. Big thanks as always to the owner Al for making our super delicious works of art! Super nice guy! Highly recommend!

They serve a variety of shawarma and falafel plates, platters, salads, fries, and wraps as well as burgers, sides of rice, veggies, fries, among a plethora of other things and the best veggie samosas I've ever had. With Ocho Rios drinks that come in the best flavours and pops, it's an amazing place for a quick bite or a seat. The service is lovely and fast paced while you get to see how they professionally and warmly prepare your meal. With daily specials (usually 2 for *insert price here*) and the best hot sauce I've tasted, I say add it to the roster of 'go to' places!

Please take my review into consideration knowing that I haven't been there in at least 15 years…read more That said, I feel like I owe this restaurant a review because it was such a big part of my life and holds so many wonderful memories for me. When I moved to Canada in 1995, this restaurant was within walking distance of my sister's apartment, so we ate there all the time. Back then, if I remember correctly, they had a buffet for around $15 per person, and it was an incredible value. The food was always fresh, delicious, and plentiful. This restaurant became part of many chapters of my life. When I got married, I brought my husband and his family there because I wanted them to experience the food I loved so much. Later, when I had my children, it became one of the places we would visit whenever we were in Mississauga. At one point, we even lived in Mississauga for about a year and a half, and if we couldn't make it to the restaurant, we would order takeout instead. The amazing thing was that the food was just as delicious at home as it was in the restaurant. The restaurant itself wasn't huge or fancy. It was simple, comfortable, and focused on what mattered most--the food. The staff were always welcoming, and everything seemed to run smoothly. To this day, the lentil soup and the kibbeh are stuck in my head. I honestly think they were some of the best I've ever had in my life. Sadly, I can't enjoy the kibbeh anymore because I have celiac disease and have to avoid gluten, but those flavors are still some of my favorite food memories. I also remember that the mother of the family was involved in the cooking. Whether she is still there, retired, or if the ownership has changed, I honestly don't know. Because it has been so many years since my last visit, I can't speak to how the restaurant is today. What I can say is that the memories I have of this place are wonderful. The food was excellent, the service was great, and it became one of those special restaurants that stayed with me throughout the years. The next time I'm in Mississauga, I plan to stop by and see if the food is still as amazing as I remember. If it is, I know I'll be leaving with a huge smile and a full heart.

Tarboosh Restaurant wasn't on my radar at all, but after Suresh Doss gave it a hearty…read morerecommendation, we figured we should stop by and check it out. We arrived around noon on a recent Saturday and the place was completely empty. A group of four fairly loud men showed up shortly after us and inexplicably sat at a table near us, but that's obviously not the restaurant's fault. The menu contained plenty of tasty-looking entrees, but I figured I'd grab the dish with the name of the restaurant in it: the Tarboosh ("Combination of shawarma and falafel"). The concoction arrived to the table quite a while later, which was weird considering how empty the joint was, and sure looked impressive. I dove right in. Everything on the plate was tasty but not mind-blowing. The chicken shawarma had a few crispy pieces, which was appreciated, but was mostly unreasonably dry. (The two included sauces helped with that, at least.) The falafel was fresh but strangely light. It didn't really have a strong flavor of anything, really. I enjoyed eating it, but it definitely didn't remind me of traditional falafel. The hummus was creamy but lacking in a strong chickpea flavor (i.e. the concoction was overwhelmed by tahini, essentially). However, once I began eating everything together, I began enjoying everything a lot more. The included bread help, too, even though it was far from the best middle-eastern bread I've ever had. Tarboosh is a mixed bag, that's for sure. If you're in the area, it's worth a try. I don't think I would travel to far to check it out, though.

They even were able to prepare dinner items in the morning, which I found admirable. I had settled on the chicken shawarma dinner, with rice and salad; there was also a side order of pita bread which came in a wrap, kept warm until eaten. There was only one other table with a guest therefore, we were able to choose the booth of our choosing. The décor was intriguing, as the paintings on the walls were decorative and beautiful; I really liked it! The food took about 15-20 minutes to arrive however once it arrived, we were pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything tasted. The chicken was tasty, along with the rice and salad; I was even given extra containers of the garlic sauce, as I love to have extra sauce. The woman behind the counter was very kind, and assisted us with everything that we had questions about. I will definitely be back, this place had all of the items that are needed to dine in comfort!

So I called the restaurant, complained that there's no seal on the package, no sticker. How do I know the Uber driver didn't dig into my fries for all I know. Unacceptable. And they said oh they don't have that for their restaurant (the sticker/seals). It is unsanitary! It seemed like my food was partially missing, and the restaurant refused to help me with it, didn't offer a replacement meal/refund/ or anything! I was thrown off by everything I threw out my meal and lost money on my order. Lack of compassion, accountability, and for the basic standards of food safety and handling they do not pass that and zero recognition for customer care. Won't order from here again. (Zero Star) if I could. The guy was rude, dismissive, lack of care for customer service, and he hung up on me at the end.

This is not catered for a sit down spot, but you can if you want. There is limited seating. Most people just pick up their food and go.

The cabbage roll is like nothing I've tasted before! It's filled with falafel and lentils. There's a tangy sauce on top. The samosas are spicy and, like anything you order here, you can see the ingredients. I have enjoyed the vegetarian and chicken. Both good. The staff are conscientious and put each order together as they are ordered. There is usually a small line up of 3-4 people, so you know there are people willing to wait for the food. - it's that good. The only thing I would have different in a future order is to ask for my cabbage roll to warmed all the way through. It was warmed up, but given its substantial size, it was cold in the middle. It tasted fine (I was hungry), but I'm sure the flavours would come through even better when heated up longer.
