The best beef kebab EVER! The meat is so tender and juicey — just be careful not to touch the bottom of the metal skewer when it arrives — it’s super hot. Make sure to also order the garlic sauce and red meat sauce for dipping. It’s a warm atmosphere with a very friendly staff. I’ve gotten many friends hooked on this place. 5⁄5.

This place is amazing, that we came here twice in our stay. Fresh, healthy, and delicious meals! I love supporting local businesses. This place needs to come to California!

I used to go all the time and it was very good when they first opened. Unfortunately the quality went down hill soon after and I stopped going after about 10 disappointing meals. Much better middle eastern food out there try safra grill and some others … Even Hannas is better …

Came here with a group of my friends. Most of us ordered chicken shawarma and beef/chicken kebob dinners. They all come with a side of salad and rice/fries/house potatoes and you can choose either small or regular portion. A small dinner is about $ 8.99 and regular is $ 11.99. My chicken kebob was pretty good, not too dry and had good flavor. I tried some of my friends chicken shawarma and it was way too dry. House potatoes are flavored with butter and garlic which was super salty. Had to take it off of the potatoes or else it’s like eating chunks of sea salt. Also comes with pita bread, pickled veggies to share and dill and tomato/salsa sauce. Service was okay, felt like our food took a while to come out. Not sure if it’s just the day I went but it was super hot and stuffy in the restaurant. No air conditioning or fans. Overall, I’d come back again and try their other kebobs as they are grilled nicely and price is reasonable.

Tasty and flavourful shawarma, but I don’t like how they put the veggies in the bottom… First half is only chicken and the end had the veggies. Not Mixed well. The last time I’ve been I also found that the shawarma was over cooked and really hard to bite down on.

Worst service, tables that got there after us were served first and received their orders first. Waited 45 mins for a shawarma wrap… Server was not apologetic at all, will not come back. Prevented us from enjoying the food.

I have eaten here twice and enjoyed both meals very much. I’ve tried the lamb and beef kebob dinner. The meat was delicious and cooked perfectly. There was a fresh salad and choice of fries, rice, or roast potatoes. The price was reasonable. The owner was very friendly to our family. I will be visiting this restaurant again the next time I’m visiting Richmond Hill.

today when we dropped in food was fresh. Over time the harchow soup has changed i much prefer the clear version. Lately it is more thick. Great lula kebab, crunchy salad, home made hot sauce and garlic sauce. Flavored potatoes and yellow rice. Mouth watering, flavorful and to share or not depending on what you like. Portion size may have reduced since the last time i came here.

I was quite pleased with my overall experience here. Value for dollar is great! I ordered take out around 6pm and they were pretty quick considering how busy they were. I ordered a shawarma and falafel pita, both delicious. It was STUFFED! I would give the place 4.5÷5 just because the décor is pretty old and crap. The men’s washroom is pink for goodness sakes!

I live in the area and have eaten here few times in the past — that is why I have decided to rate it with four stars. This time I have ordered«to go» and this was somehow an error. First let me say that the stuff are very friendly and although the English language not always fluent(understatement of the year) they are definitely trying. That is probably the reason why my pita was way over stuffed with salad and under stuffed with meat and chicken The meat was good however with an average of 3 – 4 pieces of meat it was hard to get a real taste. I will not get Togo from them again, however I will definitely visit the restaurant for a table dinner

My first visit and overall I would say the food was tasty but cooking execution/service could really improve I general the food was a bit undercooked and when I complained the answer I got from the young server(who I am guessing was related to the owner) was I will«tell the chef for next time». That’s a really awful way to deal with a customer food complaint such as this in my humble opinion. The cabbage rolls were very good and done nicely. The falafel plate was mixed. The falafel balls were a bit undercooked as were the fries. Salad dressing was very good as was there hot sauce. With some many options in this food category I recommend Sofra grill just 5 mins away for a much better and consistent dining experience. I also witnessed a 40m backlog for chicken shawarma which was not ready for a modestly busy lunch crowd. Not cool.

As we live in the general neighbourhood we frequent Orly Grill about once a month. The staff are all very friendly and efficient. I love how you can watch them throw your kebabs onto the grill. Their beef kebabs are the best. They are always made the way you want them, and they are well seasoned and always juicy and succulent. The rice that goes with it is a bit too unnaturally yellow for me and not as flavourful as I would like it, so we often go for the fries instead. Their salad is fresh with a great dressing. Not sure if it is made in house, but I like how the dressing is not too sour and a well balanced flavour. They have several hot sauces and I love the green one they have. Their falafel side order is a bit inconsistent, when it is great it is great… but once in awhile they are either overcooked or undercooked.

Yummy food and friendly service we had chicken kebobs with home potatoes and loved the garlic and BBQ sauces. Good prices too. The pickles and pita were nice to munch on while we waited for our food.

Overall, this place isn’t bad. t’s simple, not spectacular, but you get good value for your money here. The israeli shawarma’s have all the ‘premium fixins’ included in the price — i. e you don’t pay anything extra as you do at other russian jewish joints. The portions are decent and the staff are very friendly. Their soups are delicious. Certain foods can be a little salty as i have now learned after two visits. Getting served a decently priced shawarma with a smile is always nice.

People are definitely overrated this place. Food is reasonable and a ok. Deco –1 star and the untrained staff –1 star even though he’s friendly. Longer than expected wait time for the food since there’s only one other table. They really need home made flesh hot pita bread rather than then stone cold pita.

I was taking a super long yoga class one fine day a few weeks ago, and I ventured in Orly grill not expecting much. As far as eateries go, there is a little bakery, a Russian grocery store and a sushi restaurant in the same block. Orly Grill regularly seems to have a few regular patrons picking up and eating in for lunch. I ordered the chicken shawarma pita for take-out and commenced my waiting… and waiting and waiting. It’s not as though they were sitting on their hands, but if the restaurant is this busy, maybe they should hire more staff or preemptively warn customers about this wait before they pay. 20 minutes later, they begin preparing my lunch at which point I was hangry and considering my options in cannibalism. Then I see the gentleman who took my order grab a pita wrap with his bare hands. Lessons Learned: 1. Chicken Shawarma can be delicious when provided within a considerate time-frame. 2. Apparently gloves are still optional in some restaurants.

Orly Grill’s décor is definitely way past its prime time, but you’re not coming here to gaze at the décor. You come here to eat yummy-for-my-tummy Middle Eastern/Arabic/Israeli inspired cuisine. The food is extremely delicious and the staff very friendly. The Chicken Schwarma was freshly cut from the griddle and the topics were all fresh tasting. The kitchen is of open design so you see right in to every nook and cranny. I like this cause you know exactly where the food is coming from. Overall a very popular joint with the folks around the area who know it and will definitely be coming back to try as it’s in fact one of the best Schwarma pitas I’ve ever had.(On the western continent)

This place I like! I stumbled upon this place 4 years ago during a visit to Toronto while I was hunting for a shawarma shop on new year’s eve, and it was canada411 that directed me to this shop. It is middle eastern in name only because the word shawarma appears on the menu. It is actually a great Russian restaurant with very good food. I go there a couple of times a year when I am visiting in Toronto and am never disappointed with my food. The place has room for a sit down meal but I have only been there for takeout. The kitchen is a very busy place so definitely do not expect some kind of McDonald’s type of speed, and if you do then quickly hop into your car, run to a bank machine and then go find a big chain restaurant to pump you full of fat and salt. No, Orly’s has very good food but you will have to wait for it — it is indeed worth it in my opinion. I will be back there again.

The food was pretty good. I would recommend getting the small dinner as the servings are quite large

Simpy one of the best I have ever had. The falafel was unmatched, servered with some spicy hummus. Be sure to try the Harcho soup, a lamb based soup. The Kebobs are awesome, juicy and flavorful. Best in the City
