The best falafel in Vancouver is as superbaba hands down. I asked if the falafel was baked or fried…read moreand I was told I could pick. After requesting to have it fried I was surprised to see it come out of a microwave. Considering it's also the same price as superbaba I would suggest that of you're looking for a falafel save your money and go elsewhere. Staff were polite and place was clean for what that's worth. Hope you chicken lovers find something decent but if falafel is what you're seeking this is a hard pass.

Probably the most disappointing falafel experience I've had in Vancouver. I had the Vegetarian…read morePlate and nothing tasted fresh. The tomatoes in the Greek salad were on the verge of being mushy (I ate them, but considered discarding them, and if they'd been any more mushy I would've thrown them out), the hummus was grainy, the pickled onions tasted kind of funky, the samosa wrapper was not crisp, the dolma filling was weirdly dense, the pita was store-bought and very thin (I recognize this is intentional and a style some people like, I just prefer a thicker pita for dipping). The toum was really good, but that did not make up for everything else going on. They get a second star from me because when I ordered I also bought a bottle of their ayran to drink later, and that did end up being pretty good, so I feel my rating should acknowledge that there was something that wasn't a complete miss. But I definitely wouldn't eat here again.

Finally made it to Zaaki Cuisine, a small shawarma spot (with only two high stools inside). It's…read morenext to a Mean Poutine branch. Small lineup but it moved quickly. Platters are $13.99 to $18.99. - Lentil soup ($6.00) - homey - Zaaki's special platter ($18.99) - includes all their meats (chicken shawarma, beef + lamb and three falafels). Very generous portion. Falafels were excellent, cooked to order. Hommus had an enjoyable, unexpected heat Great spot for a filling, tasty meal. 4.5 stars.

Tasty falafal and shawarma place on Cornwall…read more Parking is available on the side streets to the S of Cornwall. The interior is a bit dumpy, but this is a takeout place after all. Staff are friendly and helpful. I had their lamb shawarma wrap combo. Surprisingly good price, and includes fries and a can of pop. The shawarma was hot and tasty. I would gladly eat here again if I was in the area. Recommended.

Chicken Plate Veggie Plate Lamb Plate Each plate was generously packed with food.There was salad, hummus dip and pita bread. The food turned out to be just OK. It wasn't horrible, but the smell of it from our car was better than what we actually tasted. The meat and falafels were both a bit on the dry side.

There's a guy on the street who forces you in and makes you buy something there (not sure if he's a…read morefriend or employee of the owner) so beware. Bought a chicken shawarma. Burnt and dry chicken pieces inside, not much chicken and loosely wrapped. He was in such a rush to throw the order into the take out bag. Asked for payment before adding the soup. Had to request for Shawarma to be warmed up/ they don't toast it. Hot sauce available. Chicken had good flavour.

Fabulous new donair place on Nelson by Howe…read more Parking here sucks. Best to walk here. The place is nice and renovated but pretty bare bones. There's a counter, 2 tables, and maybe 3 bar seats. Staff are friendly and cheerful. The donairs here are toasted (they have one of those 2 sided grills). Seals everything in so that the thing doesn't make a huge mess when eaten. Special mention. Ingredients are fresh. Decent amount of meat. This place also has combo (meat and rice) dishes. Pricing is awesome too I might add. Oh yeah, they also open late. Looks like this is my new go to whenever I'm hungry in the area. Recommended.

Used to be worth going here when they had $6.99 donairs ever since opening. Visited recently and…read moreseems the menus changed -- it now costs $10.99 for the same donair! That's a $4 increase overnight!!! Sorry but a $4 jump is a friggin ripoff and just pure greed. Will no longer be visiting this business any longer because of this. Your lower prices made you more competitive vs. other donair shops around the corner. By increasing your price you will only drive away customers, including me. Too bad as the food and service were decent, but seems the desire for more profit trumps giving the customer value for their dollar. What a shame, now this business is the same as every other ripoff donair shop in town.

I had a chicken shwarma wrap (generous), and my friend had the chicken shwarma plate for a few dollars more (very generous). The owners waited on us and offered great service. Parking is free in the small, shared lot, though we walked over from a nearby house. Bottom line: Good portions of good food at excellent prices. With my penchant for value, I know I'll be back.

Same friendly-ish crew still serving up food with a smile. And yes; the food is still excellent with reasonable prices. The falafels are homemade and delicious as is the tabouleh. If you're hungry with a good appetite hit up a falafel plate, it's delicious - say yes to the hot sauce. 5*s because I'm still here once every few months even after all these years. Crave-able, fresh, healthy food - not fancy, just great.

I'm giving this place a 1 because in my opinion the food was poor, the service was lacking and…read morehealth and safety measures were not taken. I ordered the Lamb Wrap. The first thing I noticed was that she was not wearing gloves. She was wearing gloves on one hand but not both. I'm assuming that one glove was for handling money. I personally am not comfortable with anyone's bare hands touching my food directly, and specially with the whole pandemic thing still going on. So, that for me was a big turn off. She didn't ask me which ingredients I wanted on my wrap. I mean how unusual?! She just put all the ingredients on my wrap. What if I had an allergy? What if I didn't want tomatoes?! The whole thing was just surreal. She ignored us the whole time we were standing there while making our wrap with her bare hands. I just hope that they were clean! Once we got home and I had a taste of the wrap it tasted very bland. The lamb was dry and tasted like plastic and the hummus was ...well...grainy, unsalted and miserable. The pita bread was not a quality pita bread, so it started to fall apart half way through the wrap. Just a little juice from the tomatoes was dissolving the pita. Not good. I love middle eastern/mediterranean food and have had many many different types of shawarma wraps all over and this was one of the poorest I've had. If you know your wraps and love your lamb, skip this place.

Did takeout here and got a beef Schwarma platter and a meat poutine…read more We came here past dinner time, and they were no longer roasting their meats. However, they do slice off pieces and then grill it on their flat top grill. The beef platter was very yummy and I got both the tzatziki and garlic sauce. It came with a small salad and hummus that they offer you pita with. The meat poutine was interesting and I chose chicken for the protein. I could've also chosen beef for this too if I wished. They put a layer of shredded white cheese on top and then drizzled again with garlic and tzatziki sauce. They then asked what assortment of vegetables I wanted on top and I mainly asked for onions, banana peppers, and tomatoes. I will say that this is unlike any other poutine I've had, but it was a very delicious thing of fries. Came to just under $30 and it was a good sized meal for my husband and I.

We haven't had it since the original experience in New York and this trip did not disappoint! Tasted like being in New York and trying it out for the first time again.

Even got some of the baklava since we get a free dessert with entree after 8pm... delicious as well. We even came back again during that 4 night stay. We couldn't resist. Service was fast and great both times. We will be back again if ever in the area.

Follow your instinct. I didn't. Regret followed…read more I read the less than stellar reviews of this place but decided to give them a try anyhow...even though I had a feeling that I probably shouldn't. The service was friendly and the place was clean, but it was the food that obliterated any chance of me going back, or frankly of them being on the map of local mediterranean/middle eastern foods and competing successfully. I got the Beef Sandwich with added hummus, onions, bell peppers, white sauce and hot sauce to go. Their beef that is served and cooked on the vertical broiler typical of a shawarma style sandwich was extremely low quality....even for street food shawarma standards. It tasted like poor of the poor quality. My wrap was completely soaked in white sauce (see pic.) All I could taste was sauce, bread and bits of onion, and since I hadn't had anything for breakfast and this was my first meal....I'm hoping I won't get an upset stomach. Sauces of that nature almost all of the time have the bad types of oil...so we'll see. If you're still into that kinda fast food, lower quality....let's just indulge style of eating....then I'd suggest to get it "easy on the sauce", because mine was swimming in it. $17 later....White Sauce with a side of flat bread. .....I think I might have some Pepto Bismol in the cupboard.
