Those who know me, knows I love my…read moreMediterranean and Mid-East Foods and have been to quite a lot of places - minus going to the mid-east! :) My most recent trip is to Reco Shawarma. It's a long way away from my place but it was worth the drive. The delish food can not be compared to any of those chain places that's been making their way around. You know the one that's selling shawarma with basketball players... I guess marketing knows their target audience - I for one don't get it. If I was a world class athlete, why would I eat plastic food. Go figure... and like I always do for some reason... I digress! LOL! Let's get back to Reco! Reco is a family owned and run business that's less than a month old. Though we are in the middle of a pandemic and lockdowns are stressful on small businesses, they decided it's time to open. They feel that fresh quality food will keep the customers happy and the doors open. That's what I call confidence in one's product! I wish them the best because I am definitely HAPPY! Everything is basically inhouse made and prepared fresh. The dips, salads, and dressing are all made on the premise. The meats are cut and seasoned by the staff and cooked over REAL CHARCOAL grills. Let's bring traditional cooking and flavours back! Oh... even the baklava is made traditionally and in house - I think I bit my lip thinking about this while writing this review [insert teary eye emoticon - and when will YELP allow emoticons!!!!???] Falafel lovers... their falafel is probably one of the best I've had - seriously! The outside crust is crispy and the inside is moist and tasty. They have a secret blend but if you are a true mid-east lover - you can guess what the ingredients are... I DID and probably the only one so far! Nailed it! Just call me the Fantastic Falafel Foodie! What can I say, I strive for perfection in my Foodie Studies! LOL! :D The staff here is the friendliest and warmest of people. I am jealous of all you West Dwellers as you have quite the gem of a place for you to get great quality and tasting food. During this Pandemic and Lockdown, it's important to help support our local and independent businesses. I've been going to many new and existing business to support them. Let's all do what we can or we may be left with eating Clown Food and wearing Paper Crowns while making a Run For the Border - and no one wants that! CHEERS!!!

Reco Shawarma is a new place specializing in Middle Eastern food located in Burlington. This…read morefriendly family run business opened just 2 weeks ago. The owners are run by women are passionate about their food and makes pretty well everything from scratch on the premises. Fresh local ingredients are used. The meat for the kebabs are halal and cooked on a charcoal grill for an authentic smokiness just like how it's done in their homeland of Egypt. I recommend their Mix Grill ... includes Chicken, Lamb and Kofta and 2 sides for $19.00. And you can't go wrong with The chicken Shawarma on rice The chicken Shaklee is tender and so flavourful. I also recommend their homemade mushroom soup There is a selection of vegetarian dips and salads for $9,90. The portions here are huge and reasonable. If you are in the area.. I recommend you go visit this place.

The staff are very friendly and spent time giving is a history of the restaurant and we talked about Egyptian Cuisine. We ordered a "Chicken Shawarma Plate" and a "Falafel Wrap". They food was very tasty and made of fresh ingredients. Also, when they were cutting the chicken pieces, there wasn't too much oil coming off of the meat, which reassured me of it being healthier than other places. Falafel tasted pleasantly different from other shawarma places and the staff explained to us how the ingredients are different for Egyptian style falafels.

They were very attentive to making sure we had a great time and enough sauces. I think a tale tale sign of a good restaurant is when they warn you that you're getting too much food, and Maro's did. We didn't care though bc we needed to try as much as possible. My friend had previously gone and they gave her a free salad, so once again bomb service. The food was amazingggggggggg. I'm salivating thinking about it. All of their dips (garlic mayo, hot sauce, humus) literally bussed down in my mouth. The eggplant and artichokes literally took me to heaven. They were so carmelized but once you hit into them, they melted away. I floated away to another dimension with them. Everything we got was amazing and my group was so gluttonous and I don't even care. We also got drinks and they were all amazing. Anyways I would travel back to Canada just for this and buss down once again.

Recent visits, I have found they refurnished the space -- it's now much darker, and several smaller tables fill the space now, whereas before, it was filled with long tables and you would be seated beside strangers for your meal. It had a different, lighter and more communal vibe before. Also on recent visits, the staff server are a lot younger -- still warm and welcoming, but with less urgency. So getting assistance takes longer. Although this makes for a nice slow meal, if that's what you're looking for! The food however, is still A+! It's the reason I keep coming back again and again. And why when friends come to visit, Maro's is always in the Top 3 places to try in Halton. They consistently serve up fantastic Lebanese food. If you're dining with a vegetarian -- they will be THRILLED with the options here! I daresay they lead with vegetables here. No one will be disappointed with vegetarian option here -- even the meat eaters. Be sure to check out their drink menu as well. Their cocktails -- and mocktails -- are great. Parking outside is all paid parallel street parking, since it's downtown Oakville. But if you visit on Sundays -- parking is free!

It looked like a mini event space! Our party of two visited for the first time on a week night, and so it was pretty quiet. Just a few other tables around. We were greeted warmly and seated at a large table for four. They were well-staffed this evening. Someone was cleaning the windows and dusting the decorations -- which was odd for operating hours, but not unexpected for a small business. The food was beautiful! Displayed dramatically with flair and fun. The flavours were great. The mixed grilled platter (for 2) was unlike any other restaurant I've tried -- each meat had it's own unique seasoning and flavour. It is a little smaller than other restaurant's grilled platter. We had to have other appetizers to be full. But we were pleased and would definitely return to try more from their menu!

We peeked inside. It was busy and with quite a few Persians. We decided to try it. I am so glad that we tried it. Everything that we ordered was outstanding. We got the Rayhoon trio sampler, Addas Palo, and lamb shank. The trio sampler was basically 3 different dippings and came with a basket of bread. The owner was very nice. While we were enjoying the food, he walked up and greeted. He explained how we could use the trio sampler to enjoy the entrees which really made it even better. Following the suggestion, I put a little bit of lamb sauce over the rice and put a little bit of yogurt sauce over a small piece of lamb, then ate them all in one spoon.... It was amazing!
