I've been coming here for more than 13 years. The 2 for $15 special used to be 2 for $6.77 once upon a time. The chicken has good flavour and there's a good scoop of chicken added to each wrap. For no frills type of shawarmas this place never disappoints especially for the price you pay. Excellent value and quality. read more

Many years ago my driving instructor took me here and it is still one of my favourites in town! The 2 for deal is still amazing and good value even when it has slowly increased in price. Usually we get mixed meat and all the toppings. They are stuffed to the brim and then heated on a press. Always hits the spot! read more

This used to be my favourite neighbourhood spot, and they still have a great deal on two shawarma wraps which is great for sharing with a friend! (Or eating by yourself if you're really hungry haha.) The service is always good here, and I appreciate that they are always really clean and well maintained. The veggies and sauces taste fresh, and you'll be guaranteed to get a great shawarma here. It's a shame the prices almost doubled in the past 4 years, but I guess that's a reflection of the economy. It does suck though, as it makes a less accessible treat rather than the regular trips I used to make a few years back. read more

My go-to shawarma place after work is this hidden gem located at the corner of Sheppard and Pharmacy. They're open late and offer great value, especially for their shawarma. I always order the mix plate, which includes a plate of rice and a mix of beef and chicken. The meat is seasoned well and has a nice char from grilling. I always ask for extra tahini and garlic sauce because the meal tends to be a bit dry. Keep in mind that this place is only takeout and doesn't have tables. They can get busy on certain times, so be prepared to wait. They only accept cash or debit cards. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place whenever you're in the area. You'll be surprised by the value and taste they offer. Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 5/5 read more

Hmm was craving Shawarma so looked around the area of what had high ratings and Tasty Shawarma came up ! Food wise was pretty good ! We ordered the chicken / beef shawarma plate to share . Order was $11.50 not including tax and as the name says it , it came with both chicken and beef shawarma.. along with a fragrant rice and fresh salad ! It was a pretty wholesome meal . My partner loved the beef shawarma. I personally loved the chicken more as the beef had some unique spices I wasn't too fond of . In terms of location , atmosphere, it's not the greatest . Very dimmed lighting , not much customer services ie I came up to the counter and was pretty much ignored until I spoke up lol . The washroom was on the dirtier side that I ended up opting off and going close by to indigo to go instead lol. Overall I would recommend everyone to go .. for the food only :p and take it to go like we did read more

I respect this place a lot as a solid business operator and keeping food prices low while everywhere you see price gouging of meals 30%+ You won't find this place a fancy joint but it is rather a great take out place that you get a fulfilling meal that is fresh and tasty. It's a lot better than other shawarma places at higher price points. A go to spot for me, great taste and good value. read more

This place is well known for shawarmas on a budget. Located in a random corner on pharmacy and sheppard, parking can be a bit hectic if it's lunch or dinner time. This place is popular! Service: This place is about quick and affordable shawarma. They make your food as you order it. Beef shawarma: I've always found the beef on the drier side at this location, I wonder if it's because it doesn't get ordered as often so it's not turning over fast enough. In any case, the toppings inside seems fresh but just felt the meat was in the drier side and not as much. 3.5/5 Chicken shawarma plate: The chicken is decently moist and has good flavor. The plate comes with basmati dill rice and salad on the side. I really like the plate more and the chicken more. 5/5. Price: Super affordable! Definitely come here for some good shawarma at a low price! read more

Easily one of the worst shawarma spots I've been to. The chicken was cold, dry, and overcooked, and they didn't even carve it fresh. It was just sitting there for who knows how long. The toppings looked old, and the whole place just gave off an unclean vibe. Customer service was just as bad. The staff barely acknowledge you, and when I asked for more of a topping, they try and charge extra! Keep in mind, this was close to closing time, and they straight-up admitted they reuse the meat the next day instead of tossing it. Save your money and go somewhere that actually cares about food quality and customer service. Absolute disappointment. read more

I've been to this "Shawarma" spot twice now and NEVER again will I return. First of all the custome service and quality is terrible. They stare at you and give each other looks as you order. And can barely speak English or address your questions properly. The toppings look awful, the chicken was cold and burnt! they didn't even freshly cut it off the rotisserie. The first time I got a chicken wrap they barely put any chicken and the second time I asked for a little extra because they clearly don't put much the dude says no and said it's 5 dollars extra! It was at 11:30 and they closed within an hour but refused to give me more chicken? I then asked why not just give me a little extra since you will be wasting the food, they said they reuse the same meat the next day . Anyways save yourself the headache and food poisoning and don't buy from this fake shawarma made by browns not arabs. Total garbage 1/10 Worst staff ever those 2 Indian dudes need to get fired And health and safety should make a visit. read more

The food here is really good. You get to pick the meat and toppings and they use a panini oven heat it up. Currently they have a special (no ending date yet) of two Shawarma sandwiches for $7.95 (one for $5.20). They also sell falafel. They used to sell Kabab but stooped about a year ago. As of 2019-12-09, they owners opened a Tasty Kabab next door that specializes in Kabab. They even cut a hole in a wall so that you can walk between the two restaurants. Strangely they also sell cheese burgers! It is probably for children who are not into Shawarma. read more

Been a few years ... Still going strong. Taking into consideration the price, portion, and food quality, this Tasty Shawarma location is A1 for me. To begin with, the prices are nothing to complain about and taking into consideration the daily traffic you know you are getting fresh food. Typical shawarma store menu, clean environment. My normal order would consist of either the Chicken Shawarma or Chicken Sandwich/Burger. The chicken sandwich with all the sauces (ketchup, mayo, mustard, garlic, hummus, hot sauce etc etc ) is def worth a try. Even after the renovation and expansion, Tasty is still holding up to its quality and taste at a reasonable price. I would recommend it. 5/5 read more

Tasty Shawarma - Chicken Sandwich/Burger, with all the sauces. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

After reading all the good reviews I had high hopes for this place. I went in to check it out and got a chicken shawarma plate. There was a line up and the guys behind the counter worked well enough to keep the line going. The place itself has a small seating area and it wasn't overtly dirty but it wasn't very clean either. There's also some random rectangular hole in the floor near the door. It's has short metal sides that jut up from the floor. Kinda odd and hazardous. The chicken and the rice were made well and the portion size was decent too. The pickled turnip was more acidic tasting than most other places. But the biggest problem I had with this place was the garlic sauce. It was so subdued with no bite. The tahini sauce overpowered the garlic sauce!! Tahini. Overpowering garlic.... I was shocked and let down. Also they don't have roasted potatoes. Just french fries. To those that enjoy a good deal (and don't mind garlic sauce tasting like plain creamy sauce) they have 2 shawarmas for $7.75. I can put up with weird hazardous rectangular holes for good food but they lost me at their (un)garlic sauce. read more

Friendly, slow staff. The chairs are still stacked in a corner and garbage cans are taped up. This is not authentic shawarma at all. The flavor was bland zero flavor and the sandwich was not even wrapped properly. The liquid yogurt they kept referring to as garlic sauce had a drowning spoon going in and out, it was disgusting. Maybe invest in a squeeze bottle. Garlic sauce should be toum. Look it up. The working area was filthy. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

Ordered two chicken shawarma sandwiches for $10 total, including tax. Can't complain about that. It was a a pretty good portion size (lots of toppings) and it was tasty too. A little more chicken would have been nice though. That would have made this a truly satisfying meal. read more

Best shawarma in the city - and believe me, I've tried almost all of them this past year. The place doesn't leave much to the imagination but the food is consistently top notch. read more

A no-frills shawarma shop with great daily specials. The service is brisk, but the meats are not dry or overly salty. I tried the mixed plate with chicken and beef a few times. The plate comes with salad, rice, hummus, garlic sauce, and pickled turnips. Portions are reasonable for the price. Be sure to specify non-spicy if you can't take the heat. Parking is quite limited during peak times, but there are some spots on the side of the plaza too. Note: cash or debit only. read more

I have been coming to this establishment for many years but the guys the owner have working there lackadaisical. There is a huge line up and 4 of them are just standing around talking to each other with no regard for the customers in line whatsoever. Then one of them wanted to charge me 50 cents extra for a little bit more hot sauce. The food is good but the service sucks. read more

I wouldn't call it the best Shawarma I've had, but it definitely has great value if you get two! Good service too.

Food: good Service: good Price: good I ordered a chicken shawarma plate (no rice, salad only). It was $9.50 before tax. The chicken was nice and juicy. The hot sauce was really spicy! Great shawarma place overall. read more

Loved this place up until my last visit 3 days ago. Ordered 2 of their chicken shawarma specials for $7.75 (that's 4 total). I also ordered a side of garlic sauce. Now I've been going here for years but what i saw made my stomach turn. I noticed when the guy came back from the kitchen with the garlic sauce, his right hand was covered with sauce!!! I mean his whole palm, not just his fingers. The sauce on his hands smeared the take out bag completely. What do you think happened here?!?! read more

Tasty Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

First time trying Tasty Shawarma but it's not bad especially for the price. I went there around 5:30-6pm and had to wait for 2-3 people in front of me but it was ok. It's a small takeout joint with a couple of tables for customers to eat. It's 10.00$ for a Chicken or Beef Shawarma Plate which includes rice and salad. You can opt for fries instead of the rice but it's a decent portion. Rice wasn't super fresh this time around. I got the Beef Shawarma to see if it was as good as the Chicken Shawarma which everyone raves about here. It was ok but not out of this world. I would come back since it's inexpensive and OK. There are specials available here too for the burgers and shawarma wraps. It's good if you're looking for a quick and inexpensive bite. read more

Tasty Shawarma - Beef Shawarma Plate with rice and salad (10$) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Finally reviewed this place. Major bang for buck. We got here by 7ish. And when we got in, this place is busy! That's a good thing. These guys moved fast too. So we ordered the 2 shawarmas for 7.95. And it's a decent deal. We ordered one chicken and one beef. We brought our food home and it was still piping warm. Chicken and beef weren't dry and quite flavourful. The pita they use was the right texture too. So we were quite satisfied. Wish they got more filling. read more

Great food. Really fresh. Halal. Coming from a smaller city I was really excited to try this place. I have only been in the city for four days and this is my second trip here. I had the chicken wrap both times. They guys were really quick to make it even though there was a line. read more

This place takes me right back to the late 1990s when food was delicious and cheap! For $7.75 I can get two shawarmas? Are you kidding me!?! The food quality is phenomenal and the price can't be beat! If you want to add on some fries into the Shawarma you'll have to tack on another $0.50, but for less than $10 you can still walk out with two delicious shawarmas! One will surely fill your belly but two Will put you over the top... That being said I just polished off two... It's hard to find a place that sells delicious beef Shawarmas so I'm glad to have found this place,! They are definitely not stingy with the filling or the toppings. Unfortunately cash and debit only but a small price to pay for a delicious meal. I'll be back so you'll be sure to see me. Strong 5 out of 5 Stars for price and taste. read more

$8 for 2 shawarmas is enough to accompany my many other cravings for the night, because some nights I want it all! Not as solidly stuffed as other places I normally go to, also when you come a bit too late, you get bites of stale lettuce so make sure you're eyeing what goes in your pita. When in doubt, slobber that stuff up with HOT SAUCE for the kick of the immune system. Okay, it's not that bad. The place is clean and they wear gloves and all so nothing to worry about. Sometimes, I'm guessing someone is lazy to top up the veggies because cheap eats bring in the crowd so breathing is optional for the staff here. Tasty Shawarma is just a few minutes drive from Esquire which is also open til about 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays and for some chicks, it's buying every chocolate bar near the cashier at a shopper's drug mart or an Esso, for me? It's buying every meal combo from my favourite chicken meals in the area where I'm in. It's a bit of a trip and wild ride this third pregnancy and the gargantuan cravings have been no different. The reason for the 3 stars is because consistency is not really their forte which can be frustrating although I do understand it's a bit overwhelming when 10 people are lined up gawking at your every move on top of the heat you're getting from the shawarma fire pit behind the counter. Go in with mediocre expectations and leave with a full pocket and a happy mindset of getting 2 wraps on the go. read more

Tasty Shawarma - Chicken shawarma plate with tahini and extra garlic sauce. Delish! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Excellent place for a working day lunch I have been to this place for so many times so far as it is close to my work place, you can have a 2 shawarma sandwiches for 8 dollars. I have almost tried all the items on the menu and I can easily give an honest feedback. He prices are unbeatable in Toronto, what you get for 8 dollars is a huge 2 sandwich that you cannot completely finish. The service is fast, though there s always a queue as there are about 10 items on the menu, shawarma makes the most of it. The portion is generous and the vegetables are freshly chopped, and the meat is sliced upon assembling the sandwich. The taste of the meat is acceptable for me, though I prefer a little bit more spices, but still it is on the mild zone. As for the falafel, it is crunchy and freshly fried when you make the order. I totally recommend you to give it a try read more

My 'go to' place for shawarmas. Parking is available, ample and accessible. They take cash only and, I think, also debit cards. Now about the taste: best that I have tasted in Toronto. A decent amount of meat with fillings of fresh vegetables (lettuce, pickled radish, onions etc) in a pita bread; heated in a panini grill. The melding of the vegetables, and meat with the sauce is 'oh so good'. I get my shawarma fix here once a week. My favorite is the chicken shawarma and I get two of these for $11.13. The beef one has more of a traditional herbal spiced flavor and while it is not bad it does not compare to the chicken, IMHO. Take-away only since the pandemic restrictions. Looking forward to sitting down and eating there but no biggie. Recommended. read more

Yes, it's cheap. At $7.99 for 2 sandwiches, it's a cheap eat. Is it a good cheap eat though? I wouldn't say so. I was here two or three days ago and if someone had blindfolded me, I wouldn't have been able to tell them I was having chicken shawarma. I could tell them I was having shredded chicken in a pita, but not much more than that. It lacked flavor all around. No garlicky tang from the garlic sauce. No zing from the pickled turnips (Oh. The top layer of pickled turnips looked dehydrated in their container). It needed more flavor all around. Bonus points for a quick toast in the panini press, but I came for a chicken shawarma wrap and felt like I ate a really boring chicken wrap. Side note: You can get extra sauce and toppings at an extra $0.50 per spoonful. Welp. read more

Our go to shawarma place in Richmond Hill. The price is unbeatable, food quality is excellent and the service is friendly. We usually go here after gym or if we are craving some shawarma for dinner. If you like lamb, do try their lamb plate. It is a bit spicier than most other options in the area, but that makes it special. Portions are generous, and a plate can easily be shareable if both person are not very hungry. read more

Great prices for tasty filling shawarma wraps and dinner plates. I think they have a two for $8.99 special. The workers here are nice. Location is in a small dinky plaza on sheppard so you may miss it when driving by as the sign isnt noticeable. Also limited space/small restaurant, BUT they do have several tables to enjoy your freshly assembled food. read more

Tasty Shawarma - Six shawarma wraps and one shawarma dinner plate for $42 all in - tastes good too. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Yummy middle eastern food, frienndly helpful staff, clean & quaint , order in, take out as well as a few tables inside.

If you have honed your palate for middle eastern food, you will realize that this place is not authentic in terms of spices, sauces, and condiments.I appreciate that the meat is not dry but it does not have an exciting or traditional flavour. The garlic sauce is basically a mild mayo, hummus lacks texture and freshness, and the turnips looked lack luster and canned. However, the reason I give 4 stars is because it is in fact a good deal for the portions and price you pay. The service is fast despite line-ups and they are open late. read more

Good but not great. You know the old expression "bigger isn't always better" it applies to Tasty Shwarma. The flavour of the meat is good, the service is friendly and quick. It's in an easily accessible area by car and parking is fine. The pitas though are too big. The put a standard amount of meat in them which is fine but the pitas are so huge they have to fill the space with so much salad, pink turnip, parsley, onions etc. Now don't get me wrong I love all those ingredients but when you are just getting bite after bite of pink turnip it's not so good. If suppose you could just ask for half of the quantity of veggies but you shouldn't have to. * Note that the restaurant in the photo above with the nice new building is not the Tasty Shawarma at 2993 Sheppard. This one is in an old run down looking strip mall. Not the nice new one in the mall above. read more

Tasty Shawarma - Opening the shawarma you get to see everything inside. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Couple of things I really like about this place are: Value, decent food handling practices (I like how they use gloves and use new ones frequently), they make sure the chicken is cooked even if it makes the customer wait (I am completely fine with that) and the food is good. Some things they could improve on is: Staff - it's hit and miss some are rude, careless when adding toppings and some are good (it's fast food so not that big of a deal). Consistency, I order here VERY frequently, but some times I'll get a good shawarma and sometimes it'll seem empty. Still a four star in my books though. read more

Looking for a good shawarma? Look no further. Keeping this post simple and quick because words cannot describe this wonderfully wrapped bundle of joy. Tasty has been an institution of mine for a quick and delicious bite when the brain and mouth starts craving for shawarma. They have a 2 for $7.75 shawarma deal going on as a customer appreciation deal (I feel very appreciated ) and I do recommend going for either a chicken or beef to get a taste of both their excellent meats or do a mix (chicken and beef mix) for both Shawarma. Get all the fixing and the sauces, you won't regret it! read more
