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!

The atmosphere was very warm and relaxing. Not too much decor, but no matter. The service was very timely and professional. Seamless and not overbearing. They take a great joy and gratification in their presentation. The food was incredible. The meat was tender and flavourful. The rice light and fluffy. Their Chocolate Lokma along side Arabic coffee was a tremendous cap. I can't wait to get back here again. 12/25

From the photos, we ordered items like the Veal and Lamb sandwich, Hummus that came with pita chips, and Pide! Everything tasted very delicious and I would recommend trying.

The first time I ordered was about two years ago during Ramadan. We were fasting, and at the last minute my uncle called to say he was coming over to break fast with us. I think I placed the order only about an hour before iftar, expecting it to be rushed or average at best. Instead, the food arrived fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted like it had been cooked with care. The flavors were incredible, and honestly, as I'm writing this review, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Since then, I've ordered from them many times, and the quality has remained consistently excellent. The portions are generous, the food is always flavorful, and they've become one of my go-to places whenever I'm in Mississauga. Highly recommended!

Just visited the Whitby location this weekend and was absolutely blown away. What a beautiful cafe…read morewith amazing decour, service, ambiance, music and all around vibes. To top all of the warm fuzzy feels when you enter, the food and drinks are just amazing. They are certainly on the pricier end of cafes - so this is an important consideration. But I personally find they use quality and fresh ingredients. My family loves their pastries (both sweet and savoury). I tried their salted white matcha, which was so delicious. I'm a die hard fan of their strawberry cups and tiramisu. Honestly, some of the best tiramisu out there. So happy they opened another location because the Oshawa one can get quite busy. Was great to see a larger cafe doing so well as a small business.

I got the harissa roasted half chicken and it was excellent. I guess the secret lies somewhere between the recipe and their charcoal grill that they are grandfathered into having.

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)

Platter had chicken, hummus, three sides, pretty good. Chicken was pretty dry, so that's why they put all that sauce! Was adequate with the taste. Sides were great. Fattoosh salad, proper. Potatoes kind of dry still. But I'm not complaining for half off!

Over the years they've added various new items to their menu. Just when I think this place can't get any better, they add items such as Bolani, Quabili Rice and Dolma (just to name a few). It's getting harder and harder to settle on just one item for lunch or dinner. I want them all! The service is fabulous, the food is fabulous... clean, lean and healthy eating. You can't go wrong. This is one of my most favourite restaurants and the benchmark for which I rate all other Afghan restaurants. Go. Eat. Enjoy. xx

I got the chicken saj and the mixed saj with potatoes as a side and enjoyed it. My favourite being the chicken saj.

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.

The falafels were quite bland and the wrap as a whole didn't have much flavour. I didn't taste any tahini nor hummus. The vegetables also lacked seasoning. I asked for the wrap to be spicy, but there was no hot sauce to be found. I think it would've helped add some flavour. The space is nicely decorated, with limited seating, and the service was friendly. I was hoping for a better experience based on the great reviews and high star rating. I don't think I'll return.
