Me Va Me

Dropped by more recently and it seems to me that food quality has gone downhill. Shawarma was incredibly dry, chicken breast skewer was mediocre, and falafel bordered on the dry side as well. Not very impressed. The hummus and baba ganoush were still good though. And serving sizes are still as massive as ever.
Came by on a Saturday night and was subjected to a 30-​minute wait. Not worth it.

Great serving sizes, healthy house salads, tasty house made flat bread. Our server today was polite, quick and efficient. It’s a fail safe place to eat when in the area.

Read this is as 4.5 stars. Ordered a whole bunch of food on a very busy night and everything was smooth sailing. The food was delicious. The lamb on hummus was pure delight. So creamy and the lamb was amazing as a topping. My entrée of lamb kebabs was outstanding. Cooked as ordered and juicy and tender. My date’s salmon was good but nothing special. But I bet if we ordered something else, it would be just as good as my lamb. Service was on point and fast! I was surprised at how fast the food came out given how many tables were there that night. .5 stars off because it is kinda pricey. Just my opinion. 4.5 stars with me returning for sure!

All 4 times I have ordered delivery from this place they have messed up the order or had me wait 45 min to an hour longer than the promised delivery time (45 min to and hour). Not once has the food arrived under one hour and 45 minutes. I don’t understand how in a matter of 3 years they still don’t understand the simple concept of food delivery. This time is the last time I will be ordering. Mistakes can happen but 4 bad experiences in a row just means poor management and they just don’t care. They were never apologetic for forgetting our orders and drinks just annoyed that they had to come back again (another 30 min later).The food is sub par not even close to the quality of the original location.

Yummy food at good price!!! Best chicken shiskabob in town, move out the Danforth. In fact everything on the menu is great. Including fish, humus, homemade lava bread.

Love the food here. Usually order the falafel on a pita or the chicken schitzel. The hummus is also great. My friends always love whatever they order. The ambiance is ok, and they have a small outdoor area in the summer. As mentioned by others, the service is sometimes slow, and usually indifferent. The food makes everything worthwhile. Prices are reasonable.

The food here is always good but the service can sometimes border on pushy. The serving size is pretty good!
I had the 1 skewer of chicken, dark, with Greek salad and fries and it was about $ 15 before gratuity, and it also came with a bowl of pickles and hot peppers and a pita which was great. Service can sometimes be a bit pushy but it really depends on the server and how busy they are. It can be a hit or miss. But otherwise the food is delicious and a pretty good value!

I’ve passed by this location for over 10 years and finally made a visit. I heard so much good things about the food from family.
The inside has tons of seating so my friends and I got seated quickly.
I believe this location has a different menu than the newer Me Va Me locations as I didn’t see Laffa and mint lemonade that was posted on their website.
The menu did offer many drinks, salads and mains like beef or lamb skewers with rice.
The pickled hot peppers I got to start were super salty. Normally the ones I like are sour and spicy.
I ordered the chicken shwarma plate with fries and paid an extra $ 1 for a Greek salad. In hindsight, I should have stuck with the garden salad which wasn’t only pretty, there was spinach, tomatoes, onions and other veggies.
The portions were big and the chicken was tender. It was good but pretty standard to other Middle Eastern restaurants I’ve been to.
The resto was good overall but didn’t blow me away.

I ordered a burger (don’t remember which type, it was months ago) with salad side dish. I got a super big plate, totally disproportionate to what was inside. They seemed to be out of plates… Burger was drenched in oil. As I picked it, oil drips onto the plate from bottom half of the bun. Taste was OK though, but having that much oil was not.
The restaurant appearance looks like a warehouse. Not good at all.

Always a great go to place when you have friends/​family out of The GTA visiting. Their menu selection is huge and there’s something for everyone from vegetarians to the health conscious. I’ve probably introduced over 50people to Me va me. The portions are good and the flavours are just amazing. I love their house salad and dressing which comes with most of their entrees. I also usually order the rainbow trout with rice. Their snitzels and kefta lamb dinners are also a few of my other favourites. I wish they would allow for ½ and ½ sides again like they used to though, not sure of the reasoning for taking that option out, but I’m still a fan of their food and the pricing is very fair for their quality of food.
They also serve fresh bread made from their special oven. So order a dip and enjoy a shared appetizer to go with the bread!
Ps. They also have a few express kitchen locations that specialize in take out. I’ve been seeing more and more locations sprout up in the GTA but still love giving this specific location a visit due to menu differences.

Food was fabulous server was awesome!! The manager was ridiculous. I asked to pay for an extra laffa bread and was refused. I had all this leftover hummus and she refused to let me have the bread I wanted. She would only give me pita for free. What is the difference??? Craziness. Just go to Bali Laffa or Dr laffa they are in the same neighbourhood.

Although i have enjoyed the food at this restaurant i will never go back again.
I called twice on two different occasions to make a reservation. First time for party of 10 and second for party of 5 and both times i was informed that they will only take my reservation
If each person spends a minimum of $ 25.00
What BS! An extortion fee to get a reservation.
They lost me as a customer and i hope others will drop this place too. There are many other middle eastern restaurants in this city that are just as good if not better. Me va me shame on you!

Can’t say anything bad about this place. Service is excellent and above all the food is fresh and abundant for the price. Fresh pita bread comes with every sitting along with appetizer pickles and peppers. I recommend The chicken Snitzel.

My husband and I went to Me Va Me last Saturday for dinner. The variety of food was good and it tasted well but the noise level was just terrible and and the service was very very slow. It took over 20 minutes to get appetizers and 40 min wait between the appetizers and the main dish. When we complained about long wait the waitress just shrugged her shoulders and said «it’s Saturday, what do you expect?» Well, we expect adequate waiting time and to be able to talk to each other without shouting… We will not come back and don’t recommend this place on weekends.

I came here with some friends and we had a really good time. We were in a bit of a rush so we ordered our entrees really quickly.
I ordered a house salad and it was really good. It came with traditional vegetables and beets, which made it extra special. One of my friends ordered falafel’s and a Greek salad. She really enjoyed her meal as well. Our other friend ordered a pita with Shawarma or falafel and she really enjoyed it. Her entrée also came with a really big portion of fries. It’s perfect if you want to satisfy your French-​fry craving.
On other occasions I have ordered the chicken salad to-​go and it is phenomenal. The portion is huge and the price is really reasonable. It’s enough for two meals. I usually substitute the normal salad for the Israeli salad and it’s to die for. It’s so delicious.
MeVaMe also has a great patio for warm weather. They have amazing alcoholic drinks. The limeade drink is phenomenal.
This restaurant features excellent portions, great service, healthy food, delicious drinks and good prices. I highly recommend you check out MeVaMe.

This Me Va Me is ok. I actually expected more because I hear some good things about it but there are some things that are a bit lacking.
Not sure if it was the day we were there, but service was slow. The restaurant was busy but not full. Despite four open tables that could seat a party of four, our party of three (two adults and one child) was made to wait a good ten minutes. I really have no idea why the wait was required as people who came in right after we were seated were taken to their tables immediately.
Food wise, their cold dips/​apps are ok. We had the combo of three: the cold fried eggplant was the best as it was in a rich and flavourful sauce, the hummus was standard but the tabouli was pretty bad as it really lacked any flavour (wondering if they forgot to put in lemon juice of vinegar.)
My wife had the chicken shawarma in a pita. It was ok, nothing to rave about.
I had the lamb skewers with french fries. The lamb was under seasoned and was accompanied by a weird bbq sauce that seemed very non-​middle eastern. The fries were limp and oily. Oil temperature in the fryer was definitely too low.
Perhaps other locations are better, as I’ve had
deliver to the office a much better chicken shawarma in a pita that what we had here.

The Best place for Israeli/​Middle Eastern Food FOR SURE!!! Everything I had here was delicious. Only bad rating is their French fries are not so good and the rice is plain. I prefer more flavour and spice in my rice and if and when I order French fries, I like them less of a cardboard. ;) Tons of other side options though.
The meat — VERY GOOD! Huge portions, great salads, great everything else.

Went with a party of 5. Had the baba ganoush (not bad, but a tad too much mayo), the chicken shawarma hummus (hummus was absolutely amazing. super creamy texture, but not creamy as in left a taste of mayo or oil in my mouth, shawarma was flavorful), the fried calamari (tasted good, tender calamari, wish there was more for the price though), the lamb kefta (flavorful, lots of lamb taste), the mixed grill (all meats grilled perfectly tender and delicious. good quality meats. asked for medium rare. got medium rare). side salad that accompanies the meals is really big. also really tasty. the bread (laffa?) accompanying the dips was fresh (made in house), hot, and refillable.
Service was a tad slow, but servers really polite and really attentive.

What stops me from giving this place a full 4*s that the food truly deserves is the inconsistent service. Depending on who serves you, your experience will vary greatly.
On my most recent visit, the server was alright, but I had to ask her to give me ketchup — I was having a lamb burger + fries, so I expect condiments to arrive with the food. Bf had to ask for more laffa. Servers just seemed busy, rushing by tables, and didn’t seem to have time to stop by, check-​in, etc.
So just expect that level of service if you’re dining in.
Portions are on-​par with price. Lamb burger + side was just under $ 12, but pretty huge. 1 Chicken skewer seemed small when it arrived, but then I remembered that the salad it came with, arrived prior to the skewer, so plating wasn’t that impressive.
The eggplant «salad/​dip/​sauce» whatever it is, is a MUST-​ORDER!

Haven’t been here for a while. Decided to just avoid driving through too much traffic on Steeles and just eat here watching the traffic die down.
At the time I was still on my diet, so I couldn’t induldge in my usual: pita with a variety of dips (especially the roasted eggplant and babaganoush).
Instead, I chose something that is relatively compatible with my diet restrictions at the time.
Beef tenderloin skewers on a potato pancake and salad. All I can say is that I wanted more, but I was actually satisfied (not stuffed) after eating it. The portions are pretty much within reason in terms of calorie count I guess.
The beef was ooh so tender and the potato pancake reminded me of the ones I had in Winnipeg. The salad is yucky (because I hate veggies) but the sauce they provided which I had to put in small moderation made up for the taste.
Their staff is still friendly as usual, and I really like coming here.
