We tried the chicken breast kabob (just okay), the ground beef kebab (dry dry dry dry, no flavor) and the sirloin steak kabob (dry, meh). The rice was FULL of either cardamom or clove ... can't put my finger on it but it was overwhelming, I couldn't eat past a bite. The fries were freezer fries. Overall it was edible and the service was good enough, so 2/5. But I won't be returning ... I'd rather go to bamiyan.

They…read moreoffer the standard Kebab shop fare (beef and chicken shawarma, falafel, and variously spiced skewers), but all with a unique, presumably Syrian, spin. My husband's falafel contained a variety of vegetables, and the wrap was toasted to crispy perfection. My son ordered the smoky chicken shawarma, which comes in a smoky, spicy wrap. He said that it was delicious, and unlike any other he's tried with its savory, smoky flavor. My daughter and I each ordered the Aleppo Kebab plate with rice. What a lot of food!! The hummus was so garlicky and well-seasoned, not the bland, pasty stuff that one sometimes encounters. The toum (garlic sauce) was a splendid accompaniment to the smoky beef. I really enjoyed my spicy bread (a flatbread that is dipped in some kind of sauce and then fried, I think). My spice-averse daughter was able to order regular flatbread. The Aleppo Kebab itself was quite mildly and subtly spiced, very flavorful, and exuded the smoky aromas of the grill. The rice, as it is in most middle and near Eastern restaurants, was superb, and flavoured with tumeric. It was a lot of food, and I have enough left over for lunch tomorrow. If you order the platters, I recommend That you order some extra bread to dip into the sauces. They offer a lot of sauce with these platters, all on the side in separate compartments of the take-out container. We were there for take-out, but it is a nice, family oriented atmosphere. The counter was busy all the time, with multiple people coming in for pick up orders. Despite that, the friendly staff takes the time to describe the food choice and make recommendations for future visits. And there will be future visits, at least by me! The parking lot is busy at certain areas, but there is plenty of parking just beyond the restaurant. If you are in the area and are hungry for some Middle Eastern food, the keep Aleppo Kebab in mind!

Tip: This eatery is on Uber Eats…read more I was in Pickering today, having a late lunch at Perkins. As I was wrapping up my lunch, it made sense to think about fetching some dinner in the area before I headed home. I took out my Uber Eats app. I found Aashinana Shawarma and Kebab. Perfect! What appealed to me wasn't any of the BOGO offers on shawarma wraps. I liked the 20% deal on the chicken shawarma on rice. You can also get it on fries with the deal. Sadly, the deal didn't extend to having it on salad, which is what I typically like to do. However, I was in the mood for something with rice. I ordered these items: - Chicken shawarma on rice - Potato bolani I got an estimate of fifteen minutes for my order to be ready. It was enough time to finish the rest of my Diet Coke at Perkins, visit the washroom, take a few photos, and leave to head over to pick up my takeout order. This eatery is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. The businesses are mixed. It's a combination of food and car businesses. I backed into a parking spot. I went into the eatery a couple of minutes after the estimated time that my food would be ready. There was a customer waiting in the dining area. There were a few tables and seats if you wanted to eat in. I got a friendly woman at the counter who asked if I had an Uber Eats order. I did and stated my name. She let me know that the other woman behind her was making my bolani and my order would need five more minutes. I let both of them know to take their time. I took photos. It worked out perfectly. The first woman asked if I wanted napkins and cutlery. I said yes. She put everything in a plastic bag and handed it over to me. I thanked her and wished them both a great day. I walked out of the eatery with my food and drove home. Let's start with the chicken shawarma on rice. I got to select up to three sauces. I went with garlic sauce, hummus, and tahini. This place is generous with the portion size. I got a lot of rice, chicken, and all three sauces in my container. The sauces were excellent. They were so good with the fluffy rice and tender, juicy chicken morsels. I couldn't finish it in one sitting, so I have another meal tomorrow. I love any flatbread with potato stuffed inside. The potato bolani was excellent. I got five generous pieces in my container. Each had the most flavourful potato stuffing inside the bread. It's an Afghani speciality. It came with a chutney that was yummy. I didn't get the green chutney that was supposed to come with it. That's okay. I was happy with the white sauce that was garlicky and flavourful. It paired well with the bolani. This place is such a gem. I look forward to returning to try more items on the menu. This place has biriyani that I'd like to get next. (404)

From offering information like a friend to patiently taking my order to giving me two free falafels beyond my order (because they don't have just falafels without the rice or bread, which is what I initially asked for), she was wonderful to interact with. The sandwiches themselves were packed with meat. I almost want to tell her next time to give me more veggies and less meat! The chicken is really good by itself, but with the garlic and spicy sauce, amazing. Not sure if the wrap is from, but it's grilled a bit and super fluffy.

I wish I had a photo of our spread as they were so nicely prepared. The staff were very kind and made some recommendations from the menu and I browsed the nicely laid out store with shelves full of exotic ingredients I vowed to return to try. The sandwiches were tasty; all toppings were freshly prepared and the variety of traditional Lebanese ingredients and sauces in the two vegetarian sandwiches were so perfect together. We especially loved the fried cauliflower, eggplant and arugula combination in the Veg Cut. Beirut Garden was also scrumptious with mouthwatering halloumi with mint chutney on a soft Schiachiatta bread. The smoked salmon was also prepared on the same bread, as their bagel delivery hadn't arrived yet but this was also very good with lots of capers and red onions. The cold cut platter was well put together and the clients loved the beetroot hummus as well. I can't wait to return to try their hot food take out and all the amazing coffees I saw!

Elias, where have you been all my life?!?…read more Good shawarma is hard to come by in the burbs so I had high hopes the first time I ordered from Elias. Let me tell you... You. Will. Not. Be. Disappointed! The food here is SO good and SO SO cheap! I love that I can get a full takeout container of shawarma plate for $9.99 plus delivery and tip! They pile on the meat and the sauces galore. Such flavorful tasty food with a nice side of salad/tomatoes/tabouli/pickled turnip to balance it out. I haven't been super impressed with the naan but that may be because it's better served fresh at the restaurant. Stick with the shawarma plate and you're gold. I eat here once a week, it's so damn tasty and the best shawarma in Whitby!

It is soooo tasty and flavourful and the portion size was great and the toppings were fresh (except the pickle it tasted super salty and texture was a bit weird). but otherwise, I am a fan!

It just wasn't hitting the spot and wasn't juicy and tender or flavourful like I expected. The rice and salad were good though.

Barg Wrap (Steak) Shawarma Plate…read more We stopped in today and ordered take out for lunch, after a friend had recommended this place to us. We spoke with the hostess and she was an absolute sweetheart. We did not know they have been around since 2008! However, there is new ownership this last year. I must say there's a reason people are recommending the food. There is free parking in behind the restaurant. The interior is cozy and has tables for dining in. We opted for a wrap and a plate; splitting both. The plate was loaded with rice, garlic sauce, hummus and lots of chicken shawarma. Topped with another sauce, this was the perfect combo. The meat was juicy and flavorful. There were multiple dressings to choose from for the salad. The Barg wrap was a steak wrap and my hubby commented on how tender the meat was. The wrap was an ok size and was a nice mix of veggies. All in all we had a solid experience and will definitely be back to try more of their menu.
