Located nearby the Kipling station this middle eastern place is really good! Never been before and…read moreI decided to try it and was not disappointed. I got the chicken saj and the mixed saj with potatoes as a side and enjoyed it. My favourite being the chicken saj. It is a fairly small restaurant with limited seating options but the coziness and the pleasant workers make up for it. Overall, if I'm nearby and craving some shawarma and saj will definitely be going here.

I was a little sad when the Chinese restaurant that was in this spot closed a few months ago, but…read morethen I was excited when I discovered it would be replaced by Pita and Hummus. It was a really cold and unpleasant night and I figured the time was right to give Pita and Hummus a try. I knew I wanted a platter of some sort, so I eventually decided to go with the Chicken Platter, which comes with rice, salad, a bunch of chicken, pickles, onions, hummus, and several sauces. I took it home and was quite impressed/intimidated by the sheer amount of food. Thankfully, everything tastes really good. The rice is more flavorful than I might've anticipated, while the salad complements everything very well. The hummus and various sauces are also tasty, while the plentiful chicken has been seasoned well and isn't too dry. My only complaint is that the chicken didn't contain any of the crispy bits one craves from a joint like this, but hopefully that's an issue that'll be worked out in the future. (I think the place had been open for about a week when I showed up.) I'm excited to try more of Pita and Hummus' other offerings in the future, and hopefully they'll be around for a while to come.

This place is very close to me so I tend to come here quite often, particularly for lunch on…read morework-from-home days, or on the weekends when I don't want to cook. This place makes amazing shawarma wraps and bowls. Their royale bowls are amazing and allow you to customize the meat, veggies, other toppings, and sauces. I've tried their chicken, beef and lamb, and their mixed meat. I can say that the meat quality is always superb and their veggies are always fresh. I've order fries, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks from this place as well and I've always enjoyed them. For this order, I got a mixed grill shawarma bowl with lettuce and pickles, and garlic sauce. It was amazing as always. The meat was juicy and had a slight crisp on the edge. I had some mozarella sticks as well which came out really good. Other things I would recommend here: - Their queen chicken wrap, which is a smaller wrap that I would recommend if you aren't super hungry. They grill their wraps really nicely. - This place has surprisingly good wings! In my opinion, it rivals that of a dedicated wing place. I've only tried their bone-in wings. The staff here are great and very communicative. Whenever they're busy, they always tell me how long it's going to take for my order to finish. They get a lot of Uber Eats order so be mindful that during a rush the store might appear empty but they are very busy. This place has seating but I always get takeout. They put their shawarma bowls in these round containers that are easy to seal and carry.

I've been keeping an eye on the various "for lease" signs on this stretch of Dundas West, so I was…read morehappy to discover a new shawarma joint had recently occupied one of the units. I placed an order for pickup on a food-delivery app for a Club Mix Wrap ("Pita and saj bread, chicken and lamb shawarma") and added Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, Parsley, Cucumber, Hot Sauce, Garlic Sauce, Tahini Sauce, and Pomegranate Molasses. (As an aside, I really hate it when joints like this don't have an option to just order a wrap or sandwich the way they think it should be made. How should I know what sauces or components work well together?) I arrived a short time later and stood at the counter for a solid minute before anyone offered to help, despite the fact that two separate people made eye contact with me. I'm going to chalk that blunder up to the fact that they just opened, however. I took my wrap home and it's good. The flavors are decent and the components work well together. I do have some complaints, however. I don't think the two separate breads do anything to enhance the concoction, while the meats, tender as they were, were completely lacking in the crispy bits one desires with good shawarma. Finally, the four sauces were just too overwhelming. The whole thing was swimming in sauce. Still, there's a lot of potential here and I'll certainly make an effort to give them another shot in a few weeks.

It's in an spot that doesn't really stand out - so many signs and businesses and 3 lanes of traffic in each direction. As soon as you walk in the front door, you are swept away from this industrial looking area. The decor is upscale and enchanting. It definitely has the Wow factor. The staff are extremely polite and accommodating. The food was excellent - hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. My friend had never had Middle Eastern cuisine and loved it! The portions are generous and we had to take some home with us. My friend who is not a fan of baklava tried some of mine and loved it! It's a must have here.

I can't comment on the restaurant itself because I've never actually eaten there. We always order through DoorDash. What really impresses me is that they pay attention to special instructions, and somehow the food still arrives hot and fresh every time. That level of consistency is hard to find. Highly recommended!

I've dropped by Mooring Eats a couple of times. Both visits involved picking up baklava for my dad,…read moreincluding a quick-and-dirty visit yesterday. My first visit was a few months ago after work. This eatery is in Mimico. I used to hang out in this area fairly often several years ago, so it helped that I was kind of familiar with the area. As with many neighbourhoods in Toronto, things change quickly! Both times, I found a parking spot facing Lake Shore Boulevard West, steps away from the store. This eatery is located in a plaza. There is additional parking to the left of the eatery. I walked into Mooring Eats and it was busy. It smelled good. I got the warmest smile from Spiro at the order counter. His son, Wagih, was working alongside him. Both own the eatery. I ordered the mixed shawarma plate a few months ago, which consists of chicken and beef shawarma, with your choice of two sides. Wagih asked me what sides I wanted. I had no idea what sides were available. He was so patient and kind to point them out. I went with chickpea salad and basmati rice. Spiro was generous to say that I could get more sides if I wanted to. I was okay with the two that I chose because they looked so good. Both of them helped put my plate together. I got tahini and garlic sauce. The plate comes with pickled turnips and pickles. I also got baklava for my dad during my first visit. He has always loved baklava and it looked so good in the clear boxes in front of me. Spiro wanted to confirm whether I was going to dine in or do takeout. I went with the latter, as I was flying to the Twin Cities the next day and needed to pack. He put both my items in a bag and handed it over to me. I thanked them both for the food. They hoped that I'd enjoy my food. It looked so good. I headed to my car, backed my car onto the street, and headed home. I visited my parents first before I headed home the first time I got my dad baklava. I dropped it off. My dad's eyes lit up. He insisted that I have a couple of squares. There were six. I ate two. I loved them. The baklava isn't drenched in honey. It was slightly sweet, with the pistachio nuts and flaky pastry standing out more. I am not a huge baklava person because I dislike how sweet it can get, but I am a fan of this version. I flew out to the Twin Cities the following day. My dad told me that he ate the whole thing after I had left. Note to self: Get two boxes for my dad next time. Guess what I did yesterday? I got my dad two boxes. It's Sunday. Guess how many boxes are left? One. I did well getting two boxes this time. The chicken and beef shawarma plate that I had months ago was delicious. The seasoning was perfect and the proteins were tender. I loved the garlic sauce and tahini. The garlic was pretty strong, which I prefer. The tahini was excellent. The chickpea salad was yummy. It was refreshing with the lemon in it and it had garlic, too. I loved the basmati rice. It was so fluffy and comforting eating it with my shawarma. It was great dropping by yesterday to get baklava for my dad. I'm not in this neighbourhood often, but it worked out so well after watching a movie at Cineplex Queensway. I'll be back for more, especially when my dad runs out of baklava. (180)

If you're lucky or stay long enough, you'll be serenaded by his bird. I ordered a coffee to stay, and was given a complementary baklava to munch on. Every table had a newspaper on it, so even if you're not much of a reader, you likely can't help yourself but browse through it anyways. Coffee was delicious and came in a teacup which was quite the vintage touch. The baklava was not too sweet, which was great. I ended up ordering a box to share with my friends later that evening. Will be going back to try their sandwiches next time! Quite a few people came by for a quick bite.
