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.

We don't eat enormous quantities, so I can only comment on the fabulous Baba Ghanouj and the Donair meat sandwich. Donair is lamb and beef; the sandwich was wrapped in pita bread, filled chock full of meat, lettuce, onions, garlic and accompanied by delicious pickles (unlike store-bought, maybe sour?) and Tahini sauce. The Baba was unlike what usually passes for that, but small chop of eggplant, tomatoes, with pomegranate seeds and sauce. It was just fabulous! We were in the area for a competition, so stopped by again the next day to sample something else. Needed just a snack, so had another eggplant concoction, Mutabel. It was also delicious and more like what is served as Baba Ghanouj in the States. Very garlicky and delicious. The prices were reasonable. We had a nice chat with the family who runs the restaurant, who are refugees from Syria, a really nice family. The restaurant is decorated with lovely inlay pieces, and Syrian art. The service was friendly and quick though most tables were full at lunch.

We ordered the falafel pita, chicken shawarma pita, and the shish taouk pita. Absolutely delicious! The wraps were fresh, made to order, tasty and just hit the spot. Our kids really enjoyed them and even ate the pickles in the wraps!! They usually don't eat pickles. Fries were also crisp and delicious. The food takes some time to prepare but well worth the wait as everything is made to order. Thank you so much for preparing a wonderful meal. I wish we were staying longer so that we could try some of the other menu items.

I was surprised to see that this late night Shawarma stop was not on Yelp, and even though it's not the best I've ever had in St Catharine's, it's really good and they're friendly and tasty. We can't judge it by Toronto standards - the best shawarma city I've ever been to - and although it's been a while since I had anything here I'll definitely check it out again when I'm back in St. Catharines and take better pictures. just thought that they deserve to be on Yelp since I came in here a while ago and was reminded of it when I was in this Plaza just few weeks ago. Yum. 3 or 4 if it was in Toronto. 5 in St C.

Absolutely terrible experience - never going back…read more I visited Palmsview Shawarma for the first time, and it was easily one of the worst food experiences I've ever had. This happened today. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap, and from the first bite, it was obvious the whole thing was a disaster. The bread was dry and stiff, the wrap itself was flavorless, and the chicken tasted undercooked. It genuinely felt like I was swallowing rocks - completely unappetizing and hard to eat. I politely asked the staff for more sauce, since the wrap was bone-dry, and was told it would be an extra charge--even though I could barely taste or see any sauce at all. When I pointed this out, the man (about 6ft tall) behind the counter became defensive and borderline aggressive, saying, "I'm not going to argue with you," even though I was calm and just trying to get what I paid for. What happened next was shocking. In front of other customers, he angrily grabbed the wrap from my hands and aggressively drenched it in sauce before tossing it back to me. It was clear he was trying to save face because people were watching & at risk losing his customers in line, but his behavior was completely unprofessional and intimidating. The decor might look nice, but the customer service and food quality were absolutely horrible. I left feeling sick and deeply uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Spend your money somewhere that actually values its customers and serves edible food.

It's more of a takeout style place, but there is seating along both of the storefront windows. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The service was great. We chose to eat at the restaurant and they brought our food out to us. I ordered the mixed rice bowl (chicken & steak) and my cousin got the chicken. It was sooo tasty and flavorful. The rice was a perfect texture and not bland. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The beef was good too, but I preferred the chicken. The sauces to go on top were all great... Garlic sauce, hot sauce and a salsa-y sauce. The garlic was my favorite. The portion size was good too; it was enough for me to have 2 and a 1/2 lunches. My cousin really enjoyed her bowl as well. We saved room for dessert because, after all, it is called eats and treats! My cousin got the Dubai strawberry cup, but I didn't end up getting anything; my heart was set on kunafa, but since they were short staffed that day, it was not ready yet. I am not a big fan of milk chocolate, but my cousin shared a few bites of her dessert with me and I did enjoy it. The kataifi gave it a nice crunch. I do plan to visit again. I might call first to see if they have kunafa though because it is quite a drive for me to get there... And I don't want my inner fat kid to be disappointed again.
