I wanted to share a short review as the order was placed online, therefore I don't have an input of the ambiance or in-house service. THE FOOD IS PHENOMENAL!

I am only in town visiting family for 1 week, but I do hope to get an opportunity to actually go have a meal at the restaurant. I am certain eating there would elevate the experience.

We stopped by this restaurant after an event and had a really good experience. The employees were…read morereally nice and let us dine in even though it was late and borderline past closing hours. The restaurant is really cute with amazing artwork and decor to admire. THE FOOD: Lentil soup: - The lentil soup was amazing. It was bursting with flavour and one of the best lentil soups I have had in a long time. It was both gluten and dairy free. Falafel - The falafel was the best falafel I have ever had! It was crispy and served with hummus. I really like how the falafels were heart shaped. The presentation was really nice and I would come back to enjoy these. Chicken Platter: My fiancé ordered the chicken platter and he really enjoyed it. The platter comes with salad and hummus. He found the chicken super tender and the salad was delicious. Both of us had hummus and found it robbed mediocre. Halava: - The halava was super sweet and made with pistachio. It tasted delicious and it was the perfect way to end our meal. Would We Return? Absolutely!

Upon entering Tomah I was immediately greeted by the young gentleman behind the counter. I was free to sit where I pleased. He immediately brought water and a cup of tea complimentary. The tea was amazing, full of flavor and sweet. I only ordered Syrian Shwarma and requested an additional drizzle of pomergranate syrup and an order of Muttabal and asked if that was enough and should I order more. The waiter, insisted I try the kibbeh and would bring me one. The food came out promptly, first the muttabal which I can say might be better than when my Syrian mother in law makes it! The Shwarma came out and that was amazing, it was juicy and the spices and dressings where perfect. To my surprise the waiter brought out the lentil soup, kibbeh and falafel to try. The were delectable to say the least. The ambiance during the lunchtime was quiet, however after some time Arabic music was put on, and wasn't too loud, but just right as background noise to enjoy while you eat. The cushions were a Syrian style of sitting with arm rests almost like pillows. I will be back, and I will recommend anyone to come here and get a "Taste of Syria"!

Unbelievably flavourful food and friendly service! They opened just over a year ago and I can tell…read moreit's already a great middle-eastern food addition to the KW area. For 3 people we ordered: Turkish Flames Mix Platter - highly recommend this to have a taste of a variety of their meats!!! Everything was incredibly seasoned and the meats were juicy - my favourites were the both the ADANA and CHICKEN KEBABS, MEAT and CHICKEN DONER. The rice and bulgar on the side complimented everything nicely, and the TURKISH BREAD was fluffy soft! Shepherd Salad - I would pass on this, too much raw onion and the portion was small considering it was $10 Kunafe -I would also pass on this, I found that they make their kunafe with a syrup that's too watery and caused the phyllo to be soggy All in all, I'd recommend the meat platters and I'll be looking forward to trying the other savoury main dishes next time :)

The person working was helpful in answering all my questions about which options were vegan. My BF got a bowl with chicken shawarma and all the toppings- he devoured it! Beware, the bowls are HUGE and you will definitely be full after eating them. I ordered the falafel wrap with all the veggies and just hummus (since the other options had dairy in them). We also ordered a side of fries. They were a little salty but we loved the spice on them. Both of our meals were outstanding. Our last day in town we didn't know where to eat so I suggested coming back again. We had another delicious meal cooked to order! I tried the dolmas that time and they were good, but not my favourite. Would definitely stop in again if we're ever in town.

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
