Me Va Me Express

Came in for lunch.
Lovved the fod and the prices. Big portions.
Downside was the pita literally fell apart one bite in.
The people working don’t seem to friendly.

Yes it does get busy and service can be slow at times but that’s what you get with a middle eastern pickup joint. If you have no patience don’t bother. But the food is great, coming from a guy who lived in Israel and ate this.
The sandwiches in pita are delicious and the different topings are great. From fried eggplant, hummus, babaganoush, cabbage and others try the sandwiches. Shnitzel is huge and is good for 2, and the dark meat is great. However the falafel and shwarmma need work, just being honest.
Overall a great place to experience and eat!

WOW. What a rude waitress. First time here and I night never come back just because of her.

Real drop in quality of food and service. Was once a great spot for healthy, fresh and tasty Israeli cuisine, has since turned into somewhat of a fast-​food hut.

I usually order the Schnitzel sandwich on a baguette with a side salad. Sandwich is good, salad is good, but my only issue is HOW THEY PUT TOPPINGS ON THE SANDWICH. My god! can ME VA ME please figure this out… It’s really hard to eat the sandwich when all the topping are resting right on top of the sandwich and NOT IN THE SANDWICH one bite and PLOP ALL ON THE PLATE.

I called in to order lunch and was put on hold without even a warning. When the lady came on the phone she was rude and not helpful at all. I was inquiring about what my options were for salads and she had an attitude in her answers like I was supposed to know what they offered. Regardless of checking the menu before the customer service at this location is very poor. Even the sit down restaurant servers have an attitude. I love the food, but it really makes me uninterested in ordering with you guys again

I frequent this place and it’s always busy, but worth the wait every time. There is nothing bad to say about the food. If you are hungry and you are impatient, then I don’t recommend you come, because you would give it a bad review, and it is NOT fair thing to do because your food is being prepared fresh. You can taste the difference. I am telling you, their falafels are the best ever! You can’t get better than this, with all the toppings… you are going to indulge in the flavors. Moroccan cigars are another treat. Oh, there are the amazing schnitzels and sauces and meats and… you get the message… it’s all amazingly good… no, it’s actually great. It’s take out brought to a whole new level. It’s perfected. They are busy, yet super clean, incredibly friendly and above all amazing service and the food is worth the wait. It’s an experience I will continue to enjoy. Thanks Me Va Me Express. If you have time, their busy restaurant is another experience to take in with a group of people, or with your partner. Great family spot too. Like I said, they have it all

Went for a friends birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We had reservations for 6pm when we got there they said it was for 5.30pm and so we were late. They got us a table and informed us since we were late each person has to order minimum 25 $ worth of food. The service was so lousy and waitress was rude. They were out of shawarma on a Saturday night by 6.30… Seriously??? Food was pretty good but the experience ruined it.

Its not a bad place to get a quick bite. I went there last night and i tried their dinner shawarma it took 25 minutes for a shawarma to come out which i think its a long time for a shawarma.

Me Va Me — from it’s humble beginnings to what it represents today — it’s done well. The food is god here. The portions are good here. The quality is adequate for the price point. The service is friendly. Next time you feel like Israeli cuisine, this place is worth a consideration. The popularity of late has resulted in longer waits now. Personally, it’s not take out worthy to me (they have a take our counter next door), but if you want an easy dine-​in experience, without worrying about breaking the bank — it’s good. In terms of comparisons, it’s almost like thinking about eating at a chain restaurant — you know you get consistency and decent pricing — is it the best? No, is it crap? Definitely not.

2 stars = Meh, I have had better (to be fair I’m middle eastern). I ordered the Jerusalem pita (chicken hearts and liver). It took 10 minutes to prepare but it was well worth it knowing that the meat was being prepared fresh. It tasted OK but maybe I should have just ordered chicken shawarma or falafel instead. Toppings were what you expect at a middle eastern restaurant (fried eggplants were good). Pita wrapping was alright but not up to par.
Overall I wouldn’t mind grabbing some to go when I’m hungry and in the area but its surely not the place I will go to when I’m craving middle eastern food.

Best Shawarma in the GTA! Lived in the area for a long time but just discovered this place not too long ago. Their hummus is to die for. Just try to avoid the lunch hour rush because you can easily be waiting 20−25mins for your order. Other than that, this place is the bomb diggity.

Came in and I was completely ignored for over 5 minutes. They allowed other customers to bud in front of us and pick up there take out. When I asked if I could order I got a very dirty look and attitude from my server. When prompted to use my debit she snatched it from me. Otherwise a very bad experience.

I was really disappointed. Just stopped by and got 2 shawarma pitas.
I’m sure they used to add more meat (as I used to come here quite a bit) and I’m a regular at other middle eastern places.
First off, they are more expensive that other middle eastern places in the area like Yummy Grill and they give a much smaller portion, particularly of the meat.
We got 2 shawarma pitas — about $ 15 with tax
The fill them less than half full and then add the salads… I personally don’t like TOO much salad but that’s what they try to fill the pita with.
I could barely taste the meat. Usually, I can’t finish a pita but this one I finished and probably could’ve had another.
They’ve gotten very stingy.
If you want good middle eastern food in fair portions for great prices try Yummy Grill or Orly.

Reasonable price for large portions of food. Food is fairly well prepared and tasty, but sometimes it’s a miss when the meat is overly dry or overcooked. In general, the food in the restaurant is better. This takeout place gets pretty busy at times, so it’s not even really an «express» in some cases.

Take out is disappointing as always. I’m always trying to give this place one more chance, but I’ve had it with them. Potatoes are dried out and wrinkly (see photo). Chicken has been sitting around-​its dried out and hard. The eat in places are both really good, I don’t understand why the express is so awful. And it’s not just once this happened. Dinner is ruined, and money wasted. Lesson learned. Avoid this place.

Yummy shawarma, competitive prices.

Good middle eastern food in a casual atmosphere.
Service was a little slow but appropriate given the price range.

Try their chicken shawarma pita – pretty reasonably priced. Excellent taste. The service was very good with all fresh ingredients. Like they say, the baba ganoush was great!!!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that everyone’s favorite middle eastern restaurant (located next door) now has a quick walk in take out location.
Prices are super reasonable ($ 7.95) for a HUGE chicken shawarma pita. Tasted great and fantastic value as the pita was stuffed to the brim!
I spoke with the lady behind the counter and discovered that they essentially carry everything that the sit down restaurant carries with the exception of the sweets and seafood!
Toppings were all fresh and the baba ganoush and tahini were fantastic!
Yumm!
Well I’m going back to enjoy this now. Happy Sunday all and hope you come here the next time you have a on the go middle eastern food crazing at me va me express :)
