Another hidden gem in Kingston…read more I am always pleasantly surprised when I come back to my hometown to visit and find another amazing restaurant to enjoy. My fiance and I stopped in for a late lunch before we went back to Toronto. Our server was nice and offered just the right amount of service (checking in with us just the right amount). Loved the black tea with cardamom spice that we were offered when we first sat down - so so good! My fiance opted for the beef kefta platter, adding hummus and I got an order of falafel. Our food arrived with a side of delicious housemade bread and hot sauce type dip. Flavours were amazing and the food was super fresh. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu next time we are in town!

A hidden gem that I discovered thanks to Yelp!…read more The space itself is not fancy but any means but you aren't going here for the ambiance - its the food. Tons of fresh toppings and your meal is prepared how you like it, right in front of your eyes. I believe they also make their sauces in house as well. Service is quick, polite, friendly. Others have mentioned the portion sizes are large - they really are! Be sure to take your leftovers for another meal, so good! The two times I have visited, I have opted for their falafels once as a platter and another time as a wrap - so tasty! Be warned - they are not shy with the garlic, so be sure to pack some gum or mints for after! This is now our go to when we come into town to visit family. See you soon, El Mina!

They were constantly running out of food and it was a long wait. Overall a quick assembly of chicken shawarma platter took 45min from the time we entered to paying and leaving. People had started walking away and could no longer wait. The grill is right there so the restaurant is really hot and heavy with meat smell inside. I would not dine in but maybe do a skip order because the food itself was good and value for money with portion sizes. Just service was lacking

My doner was delicious, a tad salty but others might like it that way mixed with salad in the wrap. Meat measure high and pleasing to like mindless carnivores. Garlic potatoes were very good, not quite to certain Ottawa locations but still very tasty. Service was excellent and friendly. Looking forward to going to this place again before future ventures France way (towards Quebec).

We got some meat pies and they were delicious. The meat pies are $2.75 each. They are generous with the meat too, unlike at some places. The dough is the perfect thickness, not too thick nor too thin. It was slightly crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. I asked for spice, but no lemon juice. The spice here adds flavour but no heat. They make the meat pies in the back, so you don't see the oven like at Aladdin and some other Lebanese meat pie shops. When you order they give you a buzzer which flashes and vibrates when your order is ready. Staff were courteous and service was efficient. It's a takeout joint only. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot.

And it comes with a canned drink. Wow they are not shy with the servings, they loaded that upppp and sauced that omg. The chicken was a bit dry but with all the sauces, the white garlic one is amazing omg- I've never had such good rice and garlic potatoes. Amazing flavor and texture! I also got a side of falafel- this IS A MUST! Most places use too much flour/ batter but this was so grainy in the best way- it was so so so good and flavorful. I'm going to be thinking about their falafels until I come back to Canada. Truly a must! My friends got the beef platter and they loaded it up- so good and such large servings. This place blew my mind away- better than any halal cart I've tried in NYC.
