The restaurant is fairly large, lots of seating to accommodate a busy rush. I tried the Hot and Cheesy queen wrap which is a shawarma wrapped in hot Cheetos. It was pretty decent. I have heard great things about this place but I think I started off trying the wrong item. I had my heart set on trying this particular wrap but they had other menu options that looked much more appealing. I will be going back.

This…read morelocation is called "Shawarma Royale Plus" meaning it offers both "Shawarma Royale" and "Pinochio Desserts". They had their Grand Opening back in late December and has been fully operational ever since. I really love the restaurant decorations as it gives away home vibes. The owner is very nice and deeply cares about providing great customer experience. We tried both "Beef&Lamb" and "Chicken" shawarma and they were both fresh and tasty. I am a big fan of Kebab (specially on rice) and always make sure to order one. So I tried "Kebab of Rice" and really enjoyed its taste and quality. Parking can be tricky, as there's limited parking spots available in front of the restaurant. But there are extra parking spaces available in the parking lot on the other side of the street.

We chose this restaurant because we love Middle Eastern food and because it had the highest rating…read morefor nearby restaurants. And it measured up in every way! We don't eat enormous quantities, so I can only comment on the fabulous Baba Ghanouj and the Donair meat sandwich. Donair is lamb and beef; the sandwich was wrapped in pita bread, filled chock full of meat, lettuce, onions, garlic and accompanied by delicious pickles (unlike store-bought, maybe sour?) and Tahini sauce. The Baba was unlike what usually passes for that, but small chop of eggplant, tomatoes, with pomegranate seeds and sauce. It was just fabulous! We were in the area for a competition, so stopped by again the next day to sample something else. Needed just a snack, so had another eggplant concoction, Mutabel. It was also delicious and more like what is served as Baba Ghanouj in the States. Very garlicky and delicious. The prices were reasonable. We had a nice chat with the family who runs the restaurant, who are refugees from Syria, a really nice family. The restaurant is decorated with lovely inlay pieces, and Syrian art. The service was friendly and quick though most tables were full at lunch.

I'm honestly sad to say that my last visit, about 10 days ago, was completely different from my…read morefirst two visits. I know this is a different location, but it has the same name and menu, so I expected a similar experience. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. As someone with celiac disease, I asked if the Fattah could be made without bread. At first, I was told no. Then the owner came over and explained that the dish is normally made with bread. I told her I understood that, but because I have celiac disease, I was simply asking if it could be prepared without it. In the end, they did make it for me without the bread, which I appreciated. However, the interaction felt uncomfortable, and I felt like I was being lectured rather than helped. The biggest frustration was the tea. As Middle Eastern people, tea is an essential part of breakfast and is usually enjoyed throughout the meal. The owner is Syrian, so I was honestly surprised by the policy. The only way to get a kettle of tea was through a breakfast special, and it only provided about four cups. There were four of us at the table, so when we asked for more hot water or a refill, we were told no and that we would need to purchase individual cups of tea instead. It felt disappointing and not very hospitable, especially considering how important tea is in our culture and breakfast traditions. I also want to say that none of this was the waiter's fault. In fact, I felt bad for him because he seemed to be taking the heat from multiple customers who were frustrated with the policies. At one point, I even turned to another table and told them to go easy on him because he was clearly not the one making these decisions. What made me even more uncomfortable was seeing the owner correct him in front of customers. He was using his phone to check ingredients and see whether the falafel contained gluten so he could answer my question correctly. The owner asked him why he was on his phone, and when he explained what he was doing, she told him he should already know the answer without looking it up. I appreciate that he was trying to verify information for a customer with dietary restrictions, and I don't think staff should be criticized in front of customers for doing that. The food itself was average. Several dishes seemed to be lacking salt, and I wasn't the only customer who noticed issues. During our visit, I heard other customers expressing frustration about the service, the tea policy, and the overall attitude. I had such a positive experience at the other location that this visit was genuinely disappointing. While I appreciate that they ultimately accommodated my dietary needs, the service and overall atmosphere were not what I expected, and unfortunately, I wouldn't return to this location.

The chicken shawarma plate is impeccably seasoned, juicy at its core, with pomegranate molasses lending a bright, subtly sweet depth that elevates it well beyond the ordinary.

Looked up from the car and saw this place, saw there was lots of great reviews and it did not disappoint! I got the chicken Shawarma Syrian style wrap which was rolled up thinly and long, stuffed with garlic, pickles, fries and pomegranate molasses. The wrap was flavourfully packed and there was quite a bit of chicken. I even ended up just saving half for later! What even impressed me more was how fast they made the order and had it ready to go! There is very limited seating, 2 small booths, so I would plan to take this to go for a stroll on the Danforth. Another note is they do pay it foward meals!! I will be back for more!

However, after my last visit, I refuse to ever eat there again. Their customer service is not great. If you want to make a small change to your order it always creates confusion and they seem to get really irritated. I asked for no fries just salad with my combo. The cashier said, "the meal already comes with salad". I said, "ok, but I don't want fries". He says very impatiently, "so what do you want?" I said, "I just said I wanted salad" he takes my order and begins to talk shit with the other men behind the counter. How do you run a business like this? Being so inflexible for every little request. If you don't want to make alterations to the menu then say that on your menu or something. Why is it a big deal if I don't want fries?? It's not nice to feel like I'm walking on egg shells every time I want to make an order. When we left a man behind the counter offered us extra garlic sauce and apologized. What's funny is I did not complain. I was patiently waiting. So they obviously realized I was not happy or that they had not handled the situation the best. Unfortunately, this was the last straw for me after experiencing bad service three times, strike you're out. There are so many good Sharwarma restaurants in the area and beyond, I will spend my money where I feel good about my experience which motivates me to want to return. And especially when I had been nothing but respectful. I went to another sharwarma restaurant in the area, not only was the chicken more flavorful and tender, the staff came from behind the counter to ask us how our food was and engaged in small chit chat. I was not expecting it and I appreciated it so much after my negative experience here. I guess they don't need my business. And I'm happy to oblige.
