Friends and family living in the area have recommended this place and stated that they've been…read moregoing for years. I remember trying it (takeout) years ago but this is the first time I came in for dine-in. I love the cozy interiors and aesthetics. Decor is nice especially the booth seatings. Menu has a wide variety of options to choose from, but we opted for the family platter since it seemed like the best option for sharing. Portion was quite generous and a decent amount to share. We got the BBQ chicken ($74.99) which came with either rice or fries (or you could do half/half), salad of your choice (we opted for fattoush), 2 dips of your choice (we chose baba ghanoush & muhammara), 4 fresh pitas & a whole chicken. Restaurant has a lot of parking and seating. Staff were nice but it was a bit of a slow service (had to constantly ask for things, such as cutlery, plates, etc). The washroom had the A/C on blast and it was freezing cold but at least it was clean. Now for the food - everything we had was pretty good. I usually don't like garlic sauce but the one that came with the food was pretty creamy and delicious. As for the baba ghanoush, it didn't taste like it but it still had a nice flavour. The Muhammara was amazing, not overly spicy. As for the fattoush, I found it just OK. I've had better ones elsewhere and I find that it lacked the crispy pita bites, as there was only a few. However, it's worth noting that the chicken took around 30-40 minutes to be ready, which I didn't mind because it came well seasoned and well done. It was not too dry, but not juicy either but seasoned well. The rice was also ok and I like that the food wasn't too greasy, but the plate came with way too many onions... I'd recommend this spot and would come back if I'm ever in the area. Would love to try other dishes on the menu.

We're in town from Vancouver, visiting family (finally), and had a taste for something a bit spicy…read moreso we stopped here for a quick sit down. My wife had the falafel wrap and thought it might be up there with the best. In Vancouver these are not usually pressed but it just works better than a flimsy pita. The spice was right, the portion was generous and the falafel patties were not overcooked or dry as we get in too many of these establishments. My shawarma platter was also quite generous, even heavy to lift. The wide choice of salads was unexpected. The hummus had a decent flavour although the texture was a bit thick for me (best version is Nuba Vancouver). I'll agree with one reviewer who mentioned that their meal was too salty(!!). But the rice...Wow!: biryani meets shawarma! The staff are very friendly, the restaurant is clean and the prices are in the reasonable range.

Ok this is a serious and objective review. I ordered the chicken wrap and five piece falafel…read moreThe wrap is a Lebanese Saj type flat bread, and the chicken is very moist and packed with flavour. Toppings were fresh and balanced. The whole thing has an authentic flavour that reminds me of early 90's middle eastern restaurants. I would give it a solid 4 out of 5. A 5 is not possible. There is no perfect wrap. This one is exceptional. The falafel was equally wonderful. Made with chick peas and not fava. Simply seasoned and fried to absolute perfection. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The tahini dipping sauce is complex with hints of mint (never had that in a tahini ever) very very nice. And asked for a garlic dipping sauce which was pretty standard but very nice. 4.5 out of 5 Overall this is a hidden gem in the world of Osmow's and Shawarma on every corner, this spot is a hit. Tucked back on Mountain across from Food Basics.

11am weekday ordered $70 of stuff 3 entrees and some other stuff…read more Beef Shawarma I'd say is best among the shawarma's and other stuff. They made big mistake with my order but they were great at owning up to it and showed exemplary service in doing so. They got the grape vine wraps which goes great with fries. I will go back just for this. Keep in mind shawarma on weekdays may not be freshly grilled but kept in containers they scoop out of, or regrilled. But the beef shawarma good either way. Sauces for sharwarma in addition to regular sauces they have there is also a yogurt like sauce addition that give great taste. But all the side toppings does lean toward the saltier side. I'd recommend asking to replace all with rice. Lettuce on weekday seems a bit old, brown and yellow spots... try to go on weekends Eggplant dip bought separately tasted sadly underwelming but might be a thing for some people. I had much tastier eggplant dips especially the canned ones. Theirs seems home made. Their food is decent 3/5 and service 4/5. You will feel people working there cares, unlike Made in Mexico on main st new location in my recent trip. For competing sharwarma there is always Sharwarma Land on Yonge st to try around ten min drive south. The lack of fresh veggies and meat on weekdays sadly lowers rating.

Chicken shwarma plate and falafel plate were very flavourful and generous (enough for lunch the next day). Falafel sandwich was huge too but my son somehow managed to devour the whole thing.

Location is especially convenient in the summer as it's right on the way to the parks and baseball fields along lakefront promenade.

When we had first walked-in, we were surprised to see how small the restaurant was. However, we then noticed that most of the guests were doing take-out as opposed to dine-in. We were able to find a table for four, which was perfect for us. When we walked-up to the front counter to place our order, we were greeted by a kind hostess, whom took our orders without any issue. We then sat down, and watched as our orders were being prepared. We had to wait about fifteen minutes for all of our meals to be ready. We were surprised to see that the margarita pizza had olives on it, despite not seeing it on the menu. However, we just scooped them off since my children didn't want to eat the olives. For the falafel and kabab wraps, we were surprised to see how large they were, and for only $10.00! The kabab wrap (which I had asked for without onions), had two large pieces of kabab, which filled the wrap, along with the sumac and tomatoes. I enjoyed how tasty the wrap tasted, along with how filling it was. My mother also commented on how delicious the falafel tasted. Considering the prices that we had paid, we certainly go our money's worth! The service was also excellent, as we were brought our wraps directly to our table, while the pizza was placed on the table near to our table. Everyone was kind and considerate, making our stay a pleasant one. There were so many menu items to choose from, it was hard to narrow it down. Will definitely be back to try other items the next time around!

I like the 4 in 1 which allows you to sample different toppings at once. It's become my most preferred. The bread is doughy but depending on the option(s) picked, it may fall apart. Service is good. They pump out orders rapidly even when busy. Rarely do they miss ingredients, but rectify those errors. I've dined in more than take out. For a small establishment, it seems to be doing well. Draws in crowds at times. Food is prepped in front of you. Area is clean. Toppings are generous, as are the staff. The washroom is also clean and adjacent to the checkout counter.
