We got a round of Lebanese arak which was very smooth and of great quality. The lunchtime good options while not very extensive, are still of good quality. I thought the grilled chicken was a bit tough, but otherwise everything else was top-notch, especially the traditional middle eastern mezes. The pita bread is always fresh and fluffy. Excellent options for both vegetarians and those who aren't.

Fresh warm pita is brought to the table. Some of the chicken was room temperature. There should be more options for mains. The food was decent but not memorable. The desserts station offers much variety however i noticed a hair on the syrup jar. Staff should monitor the buffet area frequently to keep an eye on everything to ensure cleanliness. Our server was absolutely amazing. We didn't get her name but she was an older (indian or west-indian?? not sure) woman and was so funny and kind. She made our dining experience amazing.

Second, it's completely empty, whereas the first time I was there it was bustling. We placed a large order for takeout for a dinner party. We placed the order via their online ordering system. When I came to pick up the food, I was greeted with "what order?". It took them 5 minutes to finally bother looking up the online ordering system to find the order there. Then they said it would take 45 minutes to prepare. At the time that I have hungry dinner guests waiting at home. At which point, I opted to leave. But before I left, I tried to get my money back, and the attendant was useless. He told me that he cannot do it without the manager. He called the manager and I spoke to him, and he told me that he will issue the refund the following week. The following week, the refund was not issued.. surprise surprise. I had to chase the manager for several days before the refund was finally issued. Yikes. Yikes. Yikes.

From the outside, it has a large sign in yellow and black with an image of a spit roast. While I liked its simplicity, it looked similar to at least 2 other shawarma restaurants, making me think it might be from a generic template. Even though it was hot outside, it wasn't necessarily cool inside. The no-frills setting featured a TV playing captivating music videos, and there were plenty of empty tables. The only person working, who seemed to be the owner, greeted us warmly and was very attentive throughout the ordering process. The restaurant offered the standard items like stuffed pita, shawarma plates, and kebab plates. Here's what I got: Chicken Shawarma Plate: Served in a takeout box, the shawarma plate was very saucy and full of flavours. In fact, it was too saucy, and I generally enjoy saucy foods. With the power of sauces, the dish worked out despite using white rice and having some burned ends on the chicken slices. Even the veggies were well-seasoned, which felt a bit overwhelming overall. The hot sauce didn't impress me. There was a stairway downstairs, but it didn't lead to a washroom. I couldn't find it and eventually gave up. Overall, N'joy Shawarma meets expectations but doesn't stand out as extraordinary. For locals, it might be worth getting a takeout, but it's not a place that warrants a special trip. With plenty of other options in the area, I'm not sure if I'll be back unless I'm specifically craving shawarma and happen to be nearby.

Zezafoun Syrian Cuisine located along Manor Rd near Yonge St serves up homemade, authentic Syrian…read moredishes in a cozy space. I've heard many good things about Zezafoun and was excited to finally try the place. The restaurant has about ~25 seats for customers indoors. They do have a small outdoor patio for when the weather gets warmer. Reservations are recommended during busy peak dinner or brunch times, however it is possible to get a table if you do walk in as well during non-peak times. I dined at Zezafoun with a party of 3 recently on a Sat evening. We didn't make reservations but walked in around 6:30 and was able to grab a table. It wasn't too busy that early in the evening but as the night went on the restaurant got busier. Service was great and friendly. Staff gave us plenty of time to decide what to order as well as gave us recommendations as well. The interior is warm and cozy. For drinks, I ordered the pomegranate juice which was unique and delicious. One member of my party ordered the rosewater and lemon juice which was refreshing and light. They also have Syrian coffee and tea as well on the menu which I will try next time! Food wise, we ordered and shared the following dishes: - Falafel plate (chickpeas patty fried and served with a side of tahini sauce) - Hummus (homemade chickpeas, tahini, lemon and garlic with a touch of olive oil) - Fattoush salad (Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, radish with Zezafoun dressing topped with crispy pita bread) - Kebbeh labanyeh (beef kibbeh in a cooked garlic yogurt stew served with side rice) - Maldoum (beef kufta wrapped with delicious eggplants in tomato stew and served with a side of rice) - Makloubeh (layers of rice, eggplants, and ground beef with tomato sauce served with side yogurt or salad) Food was delicious and unique! I've never had authentic Syrian food like this before and it was a delight. The appetizers we shared (falafel, hummus, and salad) were great to start the meal. The hummus was creamy and the falafel was nice and crispy. The crispy pita bread in the fattoush salad gave the dish a textural contrast, In terms of our mains, all the dishes were tasty but I especially enjoyed the makloubeh! Overall, delicious spot in Midtown Toronto for Syrian food in a cozy environment. Service was also spot on as well. Definitely want to return to try their brunch menu!

An extremely disappointing experience on all counts…read more The place is kind of shabby chic, but it is not. We seated at a bench (for the ladies) and at what passed for garden wooden chairs which were obviously home made. They required a minimum spending of $35/person with a time limit of 1.5 hours. Appetizers are traditional middle eastern fare but very small. They were just a bit off taste.Somebody was either trying something or just did not know. Labneh, babaganoush and a tomato/pepper mush all 3rd rate and again very tiny. A sharing order of fattoush was brought to the table. It was more in the order of a small side salad. The ordered main course all had chicken. No matter what was ordered from Molocheya, Shawarma Plate, Chicken with eggplant the chicken was the very same off of whatever grill they use. There were a bunch of tendons in the "de-boned" chicken. The Molocheya was a special punishment. Clumps of leaves sodden tasteless, drowned in a wrong tasting lemon broth. There was not a hint of spice blend or texture that makes this dish unique. To add insult to injury, a table of 4 was served 2 small pita bread to consume 4 appetizers. In addition the labneh came with a small square of a flavoured biscuit that was crumbly. An order of falafel was freshly fried but from its very colour we could tell that there were not herbs in the mix. The inside was not only insipid but was thoroughly of a light tan colour. But they were not through with us yet! A syrian coffee was ordered brought to the table. After letting the grind settle I had the pleasure of drinking from a broken leaky cup. I looked forward to eating in a real Syrian restaurant because Syrian Aleppo food has the reputation as being the best in the Middle East. These guys obviously did not get the memo. For a dinner for we spent about $190.00 which is ludicrous for this type of food. ANY street side shawarma joint on Lawrence would be far far better. Save your taste buds and your money.
