Drove here out of my way to try this place due to high ratings on Saturday at 9:35pm only to find out they’re closed. It says they close at 10pm both on their website and the door. I could see employees in the dark restaurant, so tried calling them, but no answer. Very disappointing. Waste of time.

Hands down my favorite shawarma joint. Highly recommend the mix platter or the Ali j. Great service and always fresh.

Was craving something different for dinner. Friendly staff, asked if it was my first time there. I got the mixed chicken and beef platter with all 4 salads, humus, garlic sauce, shawarma sauce, hot sauce. The meat was lean and well seasoned. Sauces were good with the hot sauce giving a bit of heat while not overpowering everything else. It may have been my first visit but it won’t be my last. I will definitely be returning

I came to this place because it had great reviews and it was recommended for their falafel. It was super busy on a Friday at 2pm. Unfortunately it was tasteless. The Falafel was tasteless and even the sauces were very bland. I will not be returning.

Alright, so what can I say about Lezzet. Lezzet is located literally right in the corner of the plaza strip with a big sign above and 2 signs set outside the restaurant. You can’t miss it. Warm atmosphere with some odd décor. Going past that, the staff there are damn nice and engaging… in a good way. Great people to have a conversation with, and they also appear to be football(soccer) fans. So if you’re down to debate if whether Barcelona or Real Madrid is better, you’ve come to the right place. They have a few TVs up and you can bet they will have the finals or the World Cup on. Perhaps one of the best shawarma wraps I have eaten so far? And I’ve been to many shawarma joints, so a wrap this good is deeply suspect, no joke. I got their chicken shawarma wrap. Toppings are fresh, pita was nicely grilled, fair amount of delicious lean chicken, and that sauce… house made goodness. Not too saucy and not too dry. Like nothing I’ve tasted before. Unfortunately I don’t live that close to this place, otherwise you better bet I’d be there on a regular basis. So if you’re ever around Dixie and Burhamthorpe area in Mississauga and are craving some delicious shawarma, I would highly recommend this place. Mmmm bella!

Stopped by here for lunch. The first thing I noticed was the clean interior. When ordering my food, the staff was friendly. I got the chicken platter, and was expecting a lot more food than I got — the portions were small in my opinion. The food itself was delicious — the sauces they use are unique and go well with the platter. Overall, I will be back here and will recommend it to a friend.

Checked this place out over the weekend prices are good purchased their chicken on the rocks and wrap. Chicken taste good but they don’t give good enough portion of chicken more toppings and they stinged out on garlic sauce too. Worth checking out one time their wraps are not mega big like osmows or lazeezs but hopefully they start competing to be better. They’re home made sauces are okay be would be better if they gave bigger portions

This place is definitly not authentic Mediterranean it’s more of a twist. The food was decent but the chicken was a bit burnt. The portion for the meat was not worth the money. Will definitely not fill you up.

Not sure why the hype here. Shawarma is incredibly tiny; little meat and even less pickled items included. I suppose you get what you pay for with a shawarma pita costing 6.75 but, completely unauthentic — even BBQ sauce put in the wrap! Two stars BC the staff was friendly, place was clean, low price.

I was extremely excited to come here — had lezzet bookmarked for quite a while and my family and I were craving for some good shawarma. This is the first time my fellow Unilocalers have disappointed. I don’t understand how this place is rated 4.5*!!! Makes me wonder who’s frequenting the establishment and who is writing these reviews. Let me make something very clear — this place is NOT authentic Mediterranean and does not offer authentic shawarma. Don’t get me wrong, the taste was fresh, the taste was okay. BUT the portions were measly and we all left hungry. I kid you not, my partner’s salad portions were a tablespoon each. That makes 4 tablespoons of salad. The beef and rice were also very small portions. The shawarmas were incredibly flat and empty and the sauce — oh wait there was barely residue of sauce in the pita. When I asked for more I was informed they did not have any… what?! While the workers were quite friendly and Spanish(not Mediterranean) they were incredibly light-handed with their servings. Finally, the prices are comparable to other establishments. I will not be coming back here. The quantity and overall experience is not worth the money. They pride themselves off of being one of the highest rated restaurants on Unilocal in Mississauga however, they have just over 20 reviews which I came to learn the hard way, are not reliable. Disappointing… Save yourself the time, money and appetite(because you will leave hungry anyways). Happy Unilocaling!

This was sooo good. I am obsessed with chicken shawarma and will go to almost any shawarma joint. I found this place to be a little better than the rest. The pita was $ 5 – 6 which is pretty average-cheap but the quality is great. The«shawarma artists» can be a little over-eager with the toppings so make sure to let them know if there is something you don’t like or have an allergy to. Unlike most shawarma places, the restaurant is somewhere I’d actually feel comfortable sitting down in so that’s another plus. Definitely recommend.

Ok folks! this is an all star place as I have had many shawarmas but this one had a different taste(to the better) to it. We went there during lunch time. The service was really good and the staff was very friendly in serving us. The server even told us to eat first, enjoy and pay afterwards. The cashier(the owner) was very friendly and she described to me that they are Persian and not middle eastern and that is why the spices are different. All their sauces are home made and yummy. we ordered all chicken shawarama plate and a mixed meat plate. These come with 3 different types of salad and hummus & garlic sauce on the side, as usual the meat comes on top of the rice. Although the portions seems small but the meal is filling and I was having hard time in the to finish it up. They have 2 flat screen and had soccer going on it. Overall very enjoyable experience! For my Muslim folks– They serve halal meat stated on their website and door.

Great looking restaurant. Two flatscreen tvs to keep people entertained. Menu board and decorations are very tasteful. Ordered two chicken shawarma platters Service was very fast. Patron helping us was very nice and gave us all the options available. Food was absolutely amazing. Chicken is perfectly cooked, rice is perfectly cooked and seasoned; salads are good. Sauces(tzatziki, hummus and garlic sauce are all very good) One of the best shawarma places in Missussauga.

Pretty good place for a Shawarma. I stopped in around lunch time since I had seen the spot had pretty good ratings and I was in the area. The staff was friendly. The shawarma itself was pretty good and easy to eat. As some have mentioned, not messy at all. They have a huge menu with lots of options. Perhaps if I were dinning in, I would order something more adventurous. Some things I noticed that they were missing for a Shawarma spot: no pickled beets(only regular pickles), no tabouli(pasta salad instead), only thick white onions(so beware of bad breath afterwards) and they charge extra $ 0.50 to add cabbage or another type of salad to the wrap. They also charge $ 1.00 extra for cheese if you want it. One plus is they have their own house sauce. I tried it and it’s not too bad — kinda sweet if that’s what you like. Another thing is they could spread the sauces more evenly as the house sauce and the hot sauce in my shawarma was all at the bottom of the wrap. I still recommend you give it a try. I will try them again if I am in the area.

I would’ve given them 5 stars, but I found a long hair on my shawarma platter. I did not complain since this only happened once out of the many times that I’ve been there, but I thought I’d mention it here in case someone else found one too. Other then that, great service!

Pros: Pretty good shawarmas, I really enjoyed their falafes, one of the best falafes I’ve ever had, you can taste the fresh ingredients, special mention for the very yummy hummus cream. Everything is fresh and tasty. The place is ok and very clean and has 2 huge TVs with sports(soccer) so I’ll give them an extra point for that. Staff is super friendly and good looking(another exra point). Cons: Menu could have more variety, and portions could be bigger. Overall, good food, good service and good experience 8÷10…

Atmosphere: 3.5÷5 — clean shawrma place but it gets an extra 0.5 because of the two large screen TVs. Got to watch the Olympics while eating and not a pub, so bonus! Service: 3⁄5 — it’s a takeout counter, but they are fast and friendly and you get to see everything made in front of your eyes. Food/pricing: 3.25÷5 Ordered a mixed shawrma platter that had chicken and beef. All the veggies and rice was fresh. However, I found the food and sauce slightly bland. It’s better than Paramount, but it’s not out of this world. In addition, the meat was a bit overcooked and too dry for my liking. Regardless, my huge platter only costs $ 10 including tax, so its fairly cheap. Verdict: might visit again, but I feel downtown TO has so much better quality.

I was actually looking for a different shawarma place but ended up here coincidentally. Was hungry so I tried the plate and ended up ordering another wrap ontop of it. This place is absolutely amazing and the owners are passionate and explain the origins and differences of meats. Would definitely come again.
