It was ok. My lettuce was bad and there wasn’t enough meat in the sandwich. It’s ok cause it wasn’t that great. Half way through there I found a hair in the sandwich. Which was surprising cause the restaurant seemed pretty clean. Maybe they should be wearing hair nets.

Delicious Shawarma! Definitely the authentic thing! The shawarma had a good portion of meat and a good mixture of vegetables. Good selection of drinks with both North American and Middle Eastern (well Canadian Middle Eastern) options.
My only criticism of this place is that the price point is slightly higher than some of the other Shawarma places I’ve been to. Total came to $ 10. But considering they are open late and the closest thing I’ve found to authentic shawarma outside of Scarborough.
I’ll be back!

This is my favourite shawarma place in Toronto. You must try their chicken shawarma with the shawarma sauce. Also they have chicken on fries special, it is so delicious

Went a few times, I noticed the owner has been gone all the previous time I did go back thus the low rating. There was an employee who worked there for 6 months when I went in, this employee who I shall not name really screwed up the sandwich, the bread tore up when they were rolling the sandwich.
The chicken was over grilled and dry (a few times, since I’ve been back) with the owner missing this place is running low that I now don’t go back. Bad credit on making the chicken dry

After living years in the Middle East I always know what a good shawarma is and decided to try this place out after the decent overall review rank. Shawarma was big with lots of chicken and sauces — however too much making it soggy. Yet, Ive never seen chicken being reheated on a grill and put In the sandwich as opposed to cut straight off as every place does! Cash only plus tax is an interesting concept as per the comment by a reviewer I saw now. The shawarma wasn’t bad but for $ 8 I’m not sure what people are on about it being reasonable. I’ve had amazing shawarmas elsewhere in the city for around $ 5 so this is def overpriced for fast food; that too of this quality and being in the area it is! Clearly the people who go here don’t know real shawarmas!

I am shocked to see such great reviews for this place. I tried and was disappointed. I believe if actual middle easterners ate here, this place would be shut down by now. They did not impress me at all, and I am not middle eastern, but know what good food is. Quantity of chicken was not enough, they didn’t even have the right consistency in their sauces, they didn’t even know how to wrap up the bread properly. To top it off; the place is cash only. They charge tax but their receipt didn’t display their HST number on it. Seems like they are collecting sales tax but not reporting it to the government.
I will not eat there again.

I came here on the recommendation of my friend. He kept talking about these shawarma fries. All the time I would hear about these mystical shawarma fries.
After a game of trampoline dodgeball, «let’s get shawarma fries»; after playing a game of risk, «let’s get shawarma fries»; after going to an escape room; «lets get shawarma fries»; after any long night out, «let’s get shawarma fries».
It became so sensationalized by him that I thought to myself, «I gotta try this, but no way is it going to live up to my expectations.» I was right… About needing to try it. I was dead wrong about it not living up to the hype. It was absolutely incredible. The combination of flavours worked so well. It was the best part about fries and the best part about shawarma, coming together to create a fantastic medley of tastes and textures.
You need to try it. Now.

Had the chicken shawarma dinner with white rice and salad. You also have the option of brown rice or French fries. My friend had the chicken shawarma dinner with French fries and they were hot and crispy right out of the fryer. The chicken was tasty, moist and crispy.
It was a lot of food at a decent price.

Chicken Fries wow. Okay get the Chicken fries salad and all the toppings. But don’t get addicted cause theres a lot of calories in there. Its really good here. Our bicycle store RB Inc is around the corner and we eat there often.

This place was amazing. I am visiting from Atlanta Georgia and love it when I can find good shawarma wraps. This place did it for me. They do not accept credit cards and their ATM is not for international use, however there is a bank in the same parking lot you can use.

Tasty chicken, affordable, and closes late…
Some of my friends who had lived here long time, and that enjoy night life, recommended me this place.
When it is late, you have the «munchies» for something salty, tasty and even spciy (that can also help you with next day hangover). This is one of the places you won’t regret visiting…
We went there on Saturday at 1:30 am. It had like 10 people eating there, and they all looked satisfied with what they were having. The smell was inviting; the place was clean (too much light for my preferences at that time); and the two guys attending were polite, quick and efficient.
We asked for two chicken Shawarmas to go, and in five minutes we were paying. It was less than 20 dls, for all that amount of food.
When we started eating back home, I couldn’t finished my chicken, even when I wanted to, but awesome, cuz I had lunch for next day!!!
Definitely going back.
And yes, the chicken fries are a hit for crowds of nocturne party animals…

Cute little place situated on a corner. Décor could be a little updated. Staff is friendly and courteous. The falaffel wrap I ordered was delish, bit it was a tad bit over cooked. Just a little. Baklava to die for.

The food tasted good. (I really liked the Shawarma Fries.) The customer service was decent. The prices were reasonable. The place was ugly — yet I would return.
