Gross. Served me a chicken shawarma and the chicken was rock hard. Such little selection of toppings compared to other amazing places I've been too that fill the pita so full I can hardly finish the wrap, but not here. More wrap than anything else. Disapppinting and Do Not recommend

It’s the worst food you can imagine , no taste no spices not a small small punch of salt I don’t know how come people said it’s the best food maybe the owners wrote that Don’t spend or waste your money for carbage

The worst resturant in GTA their food is not fresh and tast bad. Wouldn't recommend to anyone

- Found bone in the shawarma, see photo - Chicken is not fresh and smells bad - The bread is not fresh and very chewy - The veggies are stale and smell bad - Phoned and complained at the store, and they were very arrogant and asked me to bring shawarma and bone back as proof

The best food you can treat yourself to. The interior of this restaurant is very chic, staff is very friendly and the shawarma is delicious!! The fusion of the sauces and the toppings is paired so well. The falafel was soft and moist. Their secret sauce is a game changer and adds such a nice flavour. They also have freshly baked middle eastern naan’s and other breads. Hidden gem in Rexdale/Etobicoke area close to Humber College. They do have chicken shawarma, beef shawarma and other proteins as well.

The Best Food and the Best Cafe in Toronto I think! It is my opinion only of course, the portions are large, we couldn't finish our meal and took with us rest of our food. The tea is free!

Newly renovated, looks very welcoming and comforting to dine in. Healthy options. Fresh bread. Great middle Eastern feeling when you dine in. Prices are very reasonable. I enjoy their shawarma's and chicken salad plates.

As for shawarma, I have had it 2 times over the past 8 years, and today is the third time. I experienced it as the worst taste in GTA TORONTO.

The Worst shawarma i ever had. Nothing was fresh. Chicken was cold and soggy. Waste of money!!

Iraqi restaurant, middle east food. Very clean &quiet place, good prices,

December 22, 2023

On a Sunday afternoon food was served cold and not fresh at all . the food seemed from the day before .never again going back again

December 22, 2023

Today I went to try this restaurant and it was the worst experience I ever had because of the bad food. The first thing you wait for a long time and then the food comes to you very cold and not the desired taste. The salad is old and tastes very bad. And I told them all this and they didnt care, Today I wanted to try this restaurant and I wish I had not tried it. The food has no taste, color or smell to the point that you can hardly eat it and the salad is old The food corner was as it is and I went to the chef and complained about this and they did not care and it was very expensive and the worst restaurant I have ever seen in my life.

Excellent place for a quick shawarma. They offer a variant in Iraqi bread which i would highly recommend. The staff is friendly and the establishment is clean, and very nicely decorated. Its one of the very few restaurants that also maintain a clean toilet.

Tasteless Filled up with tasteless chicken with no flavour and rice with no taste and was dry . Even the sauces were not adding the punch to the shawarma . Waste of money ! Dont go .

Came in, waited for 10 mins to order. no hello, no eye contact. It was like we werent even there. Someone came after and was looked after before us even though we were there waiting. First impressions is everything and that was not a good example of it. Would of waited if someone would of said hello ill be right with you. I hate giving negative reviews but i cant deny the truth.

Ive had some ok experiences here. It is close to my work. The food is good, the atmosphere is nice, the prices decent. The service, unfortunately, has been consistently bad. Usually its still worth the convenience of the location but today I left to go elsewhere after being ignored while they served customers that came in after me. I was made to feel like because I didnt speak the language, I wasnt worth a hello or even eye contact. Customers that came in after me were served, although I couldnt understand what they were saying. After going here so often, to be treated like that was enough of a reason for me to not go back.

It was alright, was expecting something better as the shwarma i got was very sour tasting, and the garlic sauce didnt taste as good as other shawarma chain restaurants have. Also the lettuce looked very yellow and dry. I probably wont be going back, as i felt it wasnt good quality. Although the price is fair, for $6.

Very nice mid-aged lady who served us. Also purchased the large round bread which was good. However, the quality of the chicken shawarmas we had was tasteless, bland and definitely not fresh, hence the cheap $6 price, which I presumed had a catch to it. No whole wheat bread available either. First and last time here unfortunately.

December 22, 2016

Always super slow. Expect to wait at least 10 minutes for 1 sandwich even when the restaurant is empty. Even when you call for take out, they wont start your order until you get there. Theres no way around the stupidity. This is rexdale, way more middle eastern spots to choose from. I suggest one of those. If the 0 star option was available, I would choose it. FAIL.

An amazing restaurant. My work loved your delicious beef kabobs and fresh bread! We catered for 30 people at work. Food was hot and ready on time as they promised. Will definitely be coming back for more!
