Pita Way

When you are working 13 consecutive 12 hour shifts and you work in Parkdale, you have to change it up a bit!
The falafel I tried was good but maybe next time I will as for a lot less parsley. For under $ 5, the price was right and the guy at the cash was nice.

I really love this place. The food is dirt cheap! I have tried the falafel, shwarma, and samosas. The couple that runs the place are friendly and helpful, and there is a wide variety of sauces and toppings for pitas.
For under $ 5 you can leave pita way satisfied and full, and you are supporting a local business!
EDIT: I know that this post is 4 years ago ;it is currently April 2014 but I have no memory of writing this post! Weird!
Also, this place is now «Habibi» and I don’t like it! Go to Alexandria at Queen and Gwynne if you’re in the Dufferin area.

Two stars for clean and friedly but they’ll have to step it up at least a notch. Cold rice (and not lentils & rice either), Iceberg lettuce salad and altogether pretty mediocre.
Friendly, cheap & clean but also bland and boring. I hope they get it together

Looking for cheap eats around King and Dufferin most people end up at one of the mega fast food chains, I on the other hand like to try and support small locally owned business. So when Pita Way opened up in the area I thought I’d give it a try. $ 1.99 for a falafel and $ 2.99 chicken shawarma, the prices here can’t be beat and I’m happy to say the food quality is more than you’ll pay for it.
This is a family owned business and the people there are super friendly. It’s primarily a take out establishment though there is some seating in the back. You don’t really come here for the décor, it’s all about the food. You might be able to find a better falafel elsewhere but for $ 1.99 Pita Way’s falafel is pretty darn good. Their chicken shawarma is awesome! People I’ve recommended the Pita Way to come back to me raving about the shawarma. Ingredients are fresh and the chicken is crispy and moist. For $ 2.99 forgetaboutit! Their dinner plates are basically an extension on their yummy sandwiches and quite affordable.
Knowing they’re a family business with kids I almost wished they’d be able to raise their prices and still keep the customers flowing in. But they face a lot of local competition and most people in Parkdale seem all to happy to hit the $ 1.39 menu items at McD. At any rate, for now if your looking for some decent food on the go at an affordable price try Pita Way.

In an attempt to save money, I decided to bring my lunch to work. Little did I know that this plan would backfire, when I discovered I’d mistakenly brought a tupperware container full of raw cookie dough. Lovely.
With little money in my wallet, I feared a lunch of McDonald’s $ 1.39 menu, and hoped for something else. Luckily. I was saved by a row of dive restaurants on the north side of Queen, west of Dufferin. The busiest, with a line-​up of 5 people inside, was Pita Way.
On closer inspection, I understood why: $ 2.99 sandwich specials? Holy crap. I haven’t paid so little for a meal since I was reaching for gummi bears in my small-​town candy shop. I’m not sure if this is a daily occurrence, but their special board listed 6 different pita sandwiches for $ 2.99 each. I chose the shawarma sandwich, and it was good — nothing unique or mind-​blowing, but it was in my expense budget for the day, didn’t get me sick, and kept me full for hours.
I like your price points, Parkdale. Not too shabby.
