    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.

    My cycling pal and I found this place on a ride out along Etobicoke Creek near the airport. What a…read morediscovery! On my first visit, I ate an entire CheeZaatar. The bread is so fresh and hot and the cheese just perfect and the zaatar so lemony from the sumac and perfectly crunchy sesame seeds and spices.. just yum!! We decided to come back with friends so we could eat more and try more! So, on the second visit we shared Zaatar with labneh and vegetables, cheese Musakhan and Fatteh. The veggies on the zaatar were olives, tomatoes and cukes. The labneh was nice and the zaatar was good as usual, but I think I missed the classic cheezaatar a bit. The musakhan was a flatbread with chicken and caramelized onions, cheese and slivered almonds and some pomegranate seeds. Very tasty combo. The revelation for me and a dish I'd never tried before was Fatteh - WOW! It's a chickpeas and yogurt mixture with garlic (warm), topped with beef and cashews! Such a rich savory dish with velvety textures that blend perfectly. The portion was very generous as well. A great sharing dish. We ordered Kunafa for dessert, which did take quite a long time to make, but it was prepared fresh. It was cheese enveloped by these crunchy strings of pastry and the whole was soaked in a sweet syrup. Texture was delightful and it was a fabulous end to our meal. This place is bustling. You order at the counter but are served at your table. It's casual but it's not fast food. It's very to see the flatbreads being made right there in the huge oven.

    This Armenian restaurant gets 2.5 stars…read more Tanabour was rich, thick & creamy. Yogurt & mint meant it was a bit of an acquired taste, but it was decent.  Samsak was decent. The crumb was crumbly, though slightly dry. The beef tasted decent, though it was a little dry.  Ghacourma was alright. The beef was slightly dry. It came on rice which was confusing given the menu description. We got complimentary prepackaged lavash & pita on request to make the sandwiches, but given how simple the flavour was the sandwich didn't work as it was too dry & plain (since the bread was even drier & less flavourful than the rice). The dish was rather one dimensional without any sauce as the beef was very simply cooked. The rice was also simply cooked with pine nuts.

    We decided to get takeout from lavash for lunch…read more Overall, the food was ready on time and packaged nicely so everything was easy to unpack and eat. The hummus and eggplant dip were fantastic. Great flavor, great texture. The salad had crisp lettuce and shredded cheese. The baked potato bread strips add a great crunch to the salad. The meats were all flavorful and cooked well without being dry. Our favorite was the eggplant appetizer which had tons of flavor and texture - just so interesting the way it's put together. Price: It is definitely pricier than your typical restaurant but the quality is definitely high.

When I first walked-in, I was kindly greeted by the workers behind the till; they were friendly and welcoming as we chose the item that we wanted to eat. The restaurant itself was small however, it was perfect for a quick bite; the décor was simple yet stylish. There were other individuals at the restaurant as well, which made the setting feel cozy. I had settled on the twisted shawarma without the parsley and onions; I was told by the staff that this was going to be a delicious shawarma so, I was looking forward to it. I waited at the table, and within ten minutes, I was brought the shawarma directly to the table; such excellent customer service! I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the shawarma was; the pita was nicely toasted, and the ingredients inside of the shawarma were the perfect combination of meat, vegetables, and garlic sauce. Overall, this restaurant definitely has my vote for top food, excellent service, and a humble environment. I felt welcomed during my entire stay, and truly enjoyed the food, as it was one bite of deliciousness after another. This restaurant knows how to prepare authentic food, along with displaying kind gestures to all customers, while making a customer feel loved from entry to exit. Will definitely come back again, and will recommend to others!

I paid $14 after tax for a beef and cheese manakish with a side of garlic sauce, and inhaled it in less than 3 minutes, lmfao. It was so good. You can get it without cheese and it's very similar to Turkish Lahmachun. Get the garlic sauce! It's delicious and a great compliment to the bread. Everything for the most part is made fresh right in front of you and they use quality ingredients. Service was quick; I had a little difficulty ordering because the guy at the front doesn't speak english very well but that doesn't affect the rating. Interior is really cute, I love the colors and decorations. They have public bathrooms here. I'd like to say I'll be back, but because of the price it'll probably be an occasional treat for me.
