    Chicken Shawarma with rice, hummus and vegetables, Boss size.
    Andrea L.

    It was getting late and we came here on a whim. Plus we were hungry and it was just around the corner from where we were. The food was actually not bad. The place was clean. The lady behind the counter was really friendly and had good suggestions. The prices were reasonable and the portions were more than decent! We had one boss sized chicken Shawarma with rice. The chicken was flavourful but the garlic sauce could've been a little more garlicky. And, one felafel sandwich. The sandwich was even grilled on a Panini press. Next time I'm in the area and need something quick, I will be coming back.

    The box is half empty ...barely any fries for the price I paid...

    It's for a much nicer interior that most shawarma places on Lawrence that look run down and seem like noone cares cz it's cheap. (Talking bout Decor) Flavour wise, it's good. Not the worst neither the best. I always their their BOX - specially the shawarma poutine box - it's filling and good! Usually get Regular size (which is enough for one person) - but got the "BOSS'" size (large $10.99) - but ...the quantity of fries was the same as regular :/ kind of sad. Hopefully they explain how this size works. It's HALAL - gets his chicken from a halal meat store down the road The beef comes from the costco in the area that is Business Costco -, they serve Islamic hand slaughtered beef

    I was so hungry I ordered a boss size chicken shawarma salad...gosh...that was a mistake. I should of ordered a regular because I was stuffed half way through my meal. Decent portion and yummy! It's comparable to other shawarma places. I would probably hit it up again if I'm in the area.

    Very clean and spacious establishment. We were looking for a quick lunch and ordered the boss box. I got the chicken with salad and it was delicious. Not the best shawarma I've ever had but the service was great and the food was ready almost instantaneously. The price was comparable with most shawarma places. I would recommend this place.

    Had a lovely experience here. There seemed to be a husband and wife duo working that day and they were quite friendly. Much cleaner than the typical shawarma place im scarborough. I was also pleased to see that the pricing was very fair; i figured it would be more expensive considering it was a nicer venue. I got a regular sized shawarma box, which was about $9. The portion was very generous, and overall it was delicious. It came with this orange rice, which was good, and it also cam with a spring mix instead of regular lettuce. Overall it was a good shawarma, however it wasn't spectacular in the taste. If youre looking to try a new place in the area, highly reccomend! Try splitting a boss size box, and save yourself a few bucks.

    Hmm what to say about this place. Well first let me say it has a nice and cozy eating area the people who own the place are very nice the food was good. I got the chicken shawarma and the beef shawarma both we quite good in size and taste overall the food was good and the price was right. Next time I'm in the area I will give the shawarma poutine a try. My wife gave the box shawarma a try it just as good as the wrap but a bit more bang for your buck

Unfortunately I left with a strong sense of disappointment. We ordered beef shawarma that was dry and dull (though I concede that if we had gotten the house made hot sauce it would have likely been fire), and then ordered two skewers of shrimp with some sides. The seafood is served from a secondary restaurant to the beef/ chicken one - and though they didn't seem incredibly busy, we waited 45 minutes for two skewers! The more frustrating aspect was that I definitely saw people order and receive their food before me. When I asked, I was told that people had preordered food before coming, and while that may be the case I refuse to believe that two skewers took 45 minutes. I would have understood if someone told me they forgot about my order or they had a problem with the kitchen, but none such explanation happened. They didn't even apologize and the cashier seemed to actively avoid me, and instead busied herself by chatting with friends or cleaning up the odd table. In the end we only received the food after we actively started to leave without it. If there was a friendlier service experience I would go back and give them a second chance, but the cashier's attitude really put me in a bad place. I hope that this was a one off especially since they seem to have such a loyal clientele.

Well-lit, slightly modern looking decor, comfy atmosphere that's pretty casual. Lots of different people helped us out, took our order, brought food etc. but it felt like the service while good, was just slightly below great. We got the veggie clay pot and the mixed grill to share between two people, and my son got a fattoush salad and the kebbeh. The mixed grill was great, all the meats were flavourful, and tender/juicy. It came with a lamb/beef kebab, some beef tenderloin, and some chicken. I think there were roast potatoes too, but my memory is a bit fuzzy on that part. The veggie stew was poured onto a plate of bulgur and was really really good. Lots of flavour, all the veggies (carrots, cauliflower, onions, etc.) were tender. the juices ran through the bulgur which made for a great side dish to go with the meat. The kebbeh was tasty but still a bit disappointing -- there were only three, and didn't feel like quite enough to make a meal. Luckily the fattoush salad was huge otherwise my son would have left the restaurant hungry. Compared to some of the dishes we saw on other tables, this dish seems to be an outlier in terms of quantity of food, and it's certainly not worth the $28 price; I wouldn't recommend it. Despite the disappointment with the one meal, all the food was delicious and I still felt like the meal on the whole was good value, and I wouldn't mind going back to try some of their other dishes.

Given that much of the Middle East borders the Mediterranean, the lack of Middle Eastern seafood in Toronto is sad - but Ghadir Fish does its part in representation! They get 4.5 stars.

It was not salty despite its look. Batata Harra (spicy potatoes) were good: a bit crispy. The dish also came with bread (for the baba ganoush, maybe) so don't overload on carbs with your choice of sides. The bread was a bit old & pre packaged but I just took it as a bonus anyway.

The take-out counter was open, so we opted for that instead. Most of the foods on display were ready-to-go and vegetarian / vegan. You can also order manakeesh (Lebanese flatbread topped with toppings such as cheese, spinach, and za'atar - akin to thin-crust pizza) to be made on site. We opted for the vegetarian mix-and-match plates, which came with either rice or salad, 5 small sides, and 3 falafels. Most of the items were pretty good, my favourites being the arnabeet (cauliflower), eggplant with chickpeas and tomato-based sauce, bamya (okra), and white cannellini beans salad. The warak enab (also called dolma or stuffed grape vine leaves) was flavourless and had too much ratio-to-grape vine leaves ratio (more rice inside that I'd like). The tabbouleh was way too salty. The other dishes were good though. Although the manakeesh was made fresh to order, it came out pretty fast. It was also extremely salty. There were a few small tables by the take-out counter, for those who wish to eat the take-out items on the spot. They packaged all the items very well to avoid leakage.
