Cleopatra

I used to order from this place all the time when I worked in the area. I would get the same thing each time: falafel with fries and a Coke.
Maybe not the healthiest combo you can think of, but the kicker was this was all for $ 3.99! And even though I don’t drink Coke much anymore it was the coldest, freshest taste after eating those delicious fries. The falafel was obviously the main course and downright delicious.
The staff was always so nice to me even though I only got a cheap combo every time. Definitely a great place to hit up on your lunch break — quick and incredibly easy on the wallet.

I ate here for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were very friendly, the food was flavourful and the price was incredible! We sat in the restaurant and there were many people doing the same thing. I’ll definitely go back!
I agree with the previous post — walk right past Pizza Pizza — you’ll get tastier, healthier food and you’ll support a small local business.

In my very wonderful neighbourhood are a number of Eritrean and Ethiopian restaurants and the first I tried, Cleopatra, is still one of my favourites. I feel lucky to have such authentically ethnic varieties of food within my reach and this little place is one of the best!
Here are the reasons I vouch for Cleopatra:
1. They have the most delicious falafel wraps I’ve ever tried
2. They have excellent vegetarian and meat filled dishes
3. The price is right; nothing is over $ 10
4. The staff are all very kind and talkative. They love to dish about the hood, give you suggestions on good eats and thank you sincerely for your business.
5. I was introduced to shwarma here and never looked back since!
Cleopatra is a small, dimly lit eatery on Bloor at Dovercourt. There are seats if you want to eat in, but it’s not really a sit-​in place. It’s next to Pizza Pizza and my wish is for everyone who feels like a slice, to skip it, and move two doors down to something so much more satisfying and delicious.
I like that Cleopatra has vegetarian varieties (falafel, cauliflower sandwiches, etc) and everything there is fresh and healthful. Every so often I’ll stop in and purchase a shwarma or falafel and my day becomes instantly better!
