First-rate, super crispy, ultra-flavorful, perfectly-prepared, low cost shawarma. The falafel’s good too. The best in TO(with honorable mention to King Shawarma off Chinatown) in my opinion. Great service, friendly Arab-American expats(from Toledo, Ohio actually), and a clean dining area. Still, this is street food at its best, and most get it to go. I get a combination beef/chicken shawarma sandwich with tahini and hot sauce ANDLOTSOFNAPKINS! If you say combo, they’ll think you mean the meal WITH fries and a drink, so be specific. Either way, it’s a great and affordable Middle Eastern treat. In fact, most of the restaurants in this neighborhood(full of hemp shops and aggressive panhandlers) are ethnic/affordable, even without the presently favorable exchange rate(as of Jan/09). Good thing, because the dollar’s going to drop like a rock again once the multiple(and reckless) economic stimulus packages/bailouts kick in — All hail Barak Obama’s America(I know; much of the dollar’s freefall occurred under Bush). #$%^ politics! Let’s eat some shawarma! My only complaint about this place is that they don’t always open on time.
