Decor is unremarkable, but who cares for take out? What we wanted was somewhat healthy, excellent food and that's what we got. We ordered a gyro plate and chicken shawarma salad. All the salad ingredients were freshly prepped and good quality. The sauces (tzatziki, hummus, Greek salad dressing, and hot sauce) seemed home-made and were some of the best I've had (and I've eaten a lot of shawarma). The shawarma and gyro were perfectly spiced and heated on the grill to order so they were piping hot. I honestly could not have asked for anything better! Add to that the man who took our order (I'm guessing the owner?) was lovely and gave us excellent service.

Katia was the absolute best, best, best server I've ever had (and all my closest friends are in the service industry!)!!! She celebrated my father like she was part of our family -- with the most genuine kindness and warmth. As though the hospitality wasn't enough, the food matched the feeling. It was so fresh, flavorful, and plentiful! I'm not a big foodie, but I savoured every bite. My father said it was the best birthday meal he'd ever had. Life is so short; time with my sweet father these days are treasured. His birthday lunch at Almadina will be a cherished memory for the rest of my life.

Whether you buy plates or wraps you only get 5 toppings or you pay $1 extra for all the rest of the toppings - a first I have noticed at Shawarma joint. Disappointing. The falafel on fries or rice were OK. The fries and rice not seasoned at all. I am guessing they rely on dousing it with garlic sauce to make it better. But as the garlic sauce has eggs we didn't take any. The falafel freshly fried but were too dry for us. The little hot sauce we put didn't help either

It came with grilled chicken, veggies, hummus, tahini, BBQ sauce, and pomegranate molasses. The flavors worked really well together, the chicken was moist and juicy, the sauces added layers of richness, and the veggies kept it fresh. Portion sizes are big enough to leave you full, with the small priced at $9.49 and the large at $15.29, which makes it a good deal. The staff was efficient and friendly, and my order was ready without much wait. It's always nice when service matches the food, and here both delivered. For anyone who enjoys hearty Shawarma plates with bold flavors, this is worth the visit. I'll be back to explore more of their menu.

However, there was much left to be desired and I'm saying this even though I was hungry. It is a watered down inauthentic wrap if I ever ate one. Watered down, meaning it literally tastes like water. If you like lettuce, this is the place to go. You can also taste the cucumber water. The chicken was dry, not plentiful and I did not see the chicken cooking outside, so not sure how they make it. There's no hummus or garlic flavour. If you like salad inside a wrap, with water taste, this is it. It wasn't as savoury as I would have wanted it to be. Plenty of parking and has a washroom, which is good. Food though has much left to be desired
