Tasty Shawarma

Love this place — inexpensive and delicious! Two good size Shawarmas (chicken or beef) for $ 10 (taxes in). The place is simple and clean (although I often just take it to go). The staff is always friendly and quick. Love their hot sauce!

A bit overhyped place. I had their chicken shawarma plate, which came out to $ 10 after tax. The first turn-​off was when I noticed that they had pre-​cut way too much meat (it wasn’t even busy). I prefer the meat to be cut fresh off the rack when ordered.
In my opinion, there was too little rice. The meat just tasted okay. Right after eating, my stomach isn’t feeling too well. Maybe it’s because they left the pre-​cut chicken meat out for God knows how long.
I won’t be returning.

$ 10 tax included for 2 shawarmas! Portions are big too, I always come with someone since one is definetly enough for me. I think the chicken tastes better than the beef, the beef can get a little dry. Bang for Buck right here!

Here’s the good, bad and the rest I leave to you to make your own mind :)
Good:
1. Tasty shawarma
2. Friendly service (easy to add extra topping +$ 0.50)
3. Value for money — good portion for $ 4.75 + tax
Bad:
1. Not so organized
2. Don’t carry hummus /​green pickles
3. Personal (everybody has their preference) but I think the pita is just wrapped in excess bread — they can reduce it to half :)
4. Perhaps just my luck — found a tiny piece of bone in the chicken shawarma

If your looking for a quick bite to eat then this is the place to go. I would consider this mostly a take-​out place, but there are 5 – 6 tables inside if you choose to dine in. Few tips:
1) Lunch hour is busy… I mean real busy. Although they work fast I would say it would take 20min minimum for you to grab your food and leave depending on the line
2) They are opened until 11pm so expect to see some half drunk people around that time (really?! wasted by 11???)
3) If you want extra anything in your shawarma it costs 25 cents… sometimes they are nice, but for the most part it will cost extra
4) 2 shawarma are $ 10 after tax and you can have chicken, beef or a mix of both in one.
As for the shawarma, I’ve personally never had tomatoes in a shawarma so its quite odd if you choose to add it. The actual taste of the meat is not very strong, but not terrible either. For the price, I would say the value is there, but if you are looking for something authentic that will blow your mind it is best to go elsewhere.

They have a special of 2 shawarmas for $ 10 incl. tax. They tasted quite good in my opinion, and the deal is pretty good. Altho, the size of each shawarma is about 80% the size of other shawarmas (e.g. Pita Land), but still a good deal. The toppings are the standard toppings found in most places, so no surprises. The ‘hot’ sauce isn’t hot though. Couldn’t taste the ‘hot’ at all. 4-​stars due to the good price deal.

Best tasting shawarma in Toronto and beyond. It really is tasty shawarma. Cheap prices! The customer service is great as well. I had to wait for beef to cook for my order and the worker gave me a snack while I waited.

The food is simply phenomenal! The prices are reasonable and the quality definitely exceeded my expectations. How can you go wrong with 2 shwarmas for 10 dollars? The owner is friendly and is happy to accommodate any requests for spice, extra sauce, or substitutions.
Keep in mind that call in orders are only allowed for orders over 20 dollars. If you plan on stopping in around lunch, give yourself extra time as it typically takes between 10 – 15 minutes for your food to be prepared.
Trust me, you need to try it!

Very good shawarma, came in around 9, they close 11:30 which is good. Better than other restaurants. It’s not the best but above average. Will come again.

Cheap and delicious chicken shawermas!!! Good for a quick drop in for a quick bite. Self serve
Chicken shawerma dinner is a good deal.

This is a very bang for your buck kind of place. Taste is very good too. You can get a combo for $ 7+ tax which includes a sandwich, a side, and a pop. If you’re a big eater, try their 2 shawarmas for $ 8.85 (exactly $ 10 inc tax). Their shawarma sandwiches are HUGE and they load them with meat.
Around lunch time they are packed and that’s a sign that they are doing something right. I would come here again for take out lunch. It’s not a very nice place to sit and eat.

Really good value for the price. I usually get the 2 for 1 special… i like how the shawarma’s feel more like a wrap compared to the pita sandwiches that i usually eat in the Willowdale area. high Quality toppings and is wonderful to bite into its crispy pita shell when it is taken out of the toaster!

Great shawarma for the area, and cheap!
Hot sauce is a nice touch too.
Lunch rush can be crazy though!

Tasty Shwarma indeed. Ordered (from the all day special menu) 2 Chicken Shwarma Sandwiches at $ 8.25 and the Falafel Sandwich ($ 4.65?). The shwarma comes with tomato, onions, peppers, pickles and choice of mild-​hot or extra hot sauce. Also on the all day menu is 2x: cheese burger, falafel, etc. Great deal. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Cash or debit (with $.50 surcharge) only. Depending on your order food may take up to 10 minutes. Fresh pita and large serving.

My favorite shwarma in Toronto!!!
Hope they open in downtown.

This is by far one of my favorite shawarma places to go to. It’s got the best bang for your buck!!! Everything tastes fresh and the services is always friendly. Dad approved too!!!

Great place to go if you’re craving for some
Middle-​Eastern sandwich. The portions are much bigger compared to other shawarma joints and the sauces they have are all homemade and fresh like no other.
One small drawback about this place is the rising costs of food they seem to implement every few months, I’m happy for their business but this may chase away a few customers.
Also, be sure to prepare for a bit of a wait as this place tends to be quite packed during meal times (which is obviously a good sign for the place’s quality and popularity)

This place is just okay. To be honest I expected a lot better based on previous reviews. It’s kinda small and uncomfortable to eat there. I got a chicken shawarma plate. It was decent and very reasonably priced but not amazing. I probably wouldn’t come back. My actual rating is more like 2.5 stars

Another good shawarma place, suffers a little with Family shawarma just the other side of Pharmacy.

Good but not great. You know the old expression «bigger isn’t always better» it applies to Tasty Shwarma. The flavour of the meat is good, the service is friendly and quick. It’s in an easily accessible area by car and parking is fine.
The pitas though are too big. The put a standard amount of meat in them which is fine but the pitas are so huge they have to fill the space with so much salad, pink turnip, parsley, onions etc. Now don’t get me wrong I love all those ingredients but when you are just getting bite after bite of pink turnip it’s not so good.
If suppose you could just ask for half of the quantity of veggies but you shouldn’t have to.
* Note that the restaurant in the photo above with the nice new building is not the Tasty Shawarma at 2993 Sheppard. This one is in an old run down looking strip mall. Not the nice new one in the mall above.
