I always had a good experience ordering from here, except one time. I dropped by before the restaurant was closing, and I ordered a platter and paid. I was not told they had no more rice and potato left, and they still charged me for the food. They could have at least told me that they didn’t have it before I paid. Will not be going back. Also the meat was very salty. Not happy with my experience.

Excellent. In a world where mediocre Shawarma restaurants are a dime a dozen, Pitalicious was a breath of fresh air. I walked in and asked the gentleman to make me a Chicken Shawarma sandwich his way, And it was an absolute revelation. Fresh ingredients, well balanced seasoning, flavours that truly popped. And don’t even get me started on the pita. Soft and fluffy yet crispy. Reminds me about felafel I had in Paris. Anyways, definitely worth a drop in.

Dont waste your time and money in this restaurant. Overly expensive left over and not fresh shawarma. Servings are also very small. They dont deserve the google review rating they have.

July 22, 2024

Came here for lunch with my co workers. We ordered chicken on the rice and to our surprise we got charged 16.95 for a small portion. And to add to that they didnt have fresh meat. We got served with very dry chicken. Will never come back to this place. They are ripping people off with expensive prices and at the same time serving bad quality food! Disgusting!

I ordered sheish kebab sandwich 🥙 The meat was not fresh. It was try and hard to chew. For $13.50 the sandwich quality was very poor. I could not eat meat because it wasn’t fresh and hard to eat.

Great mom and pop place for Pita, very friendly and smiley owners! Food was great, baba ganosh was super yummy with the pita wrap. Great local small business, self service lunch is about $15 without a drink

The Large Mix Platter was a good size and could honestly feed two people who aren't very hungry. I really liked the pita on the Lamb Sandwich, although I'm not sure if it was made in-house. Both the platter and the sandwich had plenty of protein. I also noticed that when she was adding the vegetables, she tossed any with visible blemishes into the trash instead of giving them to us. Lastly, the parking situation isn't the best due to its small size.

My friend brought me to here. This place has sharama, the meat are very nice. We tried the beef and lamb. The platter and the sandwich are big portion. This place located beside the medium plaza, and lots of space to be seated Nice and easy to find and lots of parkings This place is such a good place, and good customer services Would recommend to everyone

Great little family-run place. I went on a Friday afternoon before a long weekend, a little past the usual lunch hour. The food was still quite fresh and tasty. The manner of the lady and gentleman who were there was quite pleasant and welcoming. It made an ordinary work-day lunch all the more enjoyable. I must also add that the men s washroom was very clean, which was great to see also!

EDIT again (3rd time). Been coming here for 7+ years. The owners are great and lovely people. The food is excellent but overall the price has gone up considerably and the value is just not there anymore unfortunately. What used to be a $12 meal pre-pandemic is now $21+ after tax. They raised the price of the shawerma platter considerably and include both a pita and a drink. I think this is a way for them to charge more but I do not want to pay for an extra pita or a drink. I would rather try and save money where I can. Total comes up to $21.41 after tax for the platter which is about $4 (~25%) over the the market price for a comparable meal. I used to go to this place weekly pre-pandemic as my work is near by but now I hardly go anymore because of the price.

Friendly staff does not make up for terrible portions of mediocre food. Paid $13 for a pita that was smaller than PitaPit s petita. Chicken was burnt, veggies were dried out and hummus did not look like hummus. If you are hungry do not go here.

The restaurant was pretty busy and food was good. During lunch hour the staff strength was less which delayed the order. It took more than 20 mins then the notification came up as ready for pick up. Got delayed because of that. Otherwise good one with good food.

This placed used to be good years back. Lots of portions for the price you paid and the food tasted better. There used to be long lines. After the owners changed a few years ago, its no longer good. Definitely recommend other places.

December 22, 2023

Stopped in and ordered a chicken shawarma. The chicken felt like leftovers and day old. Very hard and dry, like it had been sitting on a grill for hours. Even the toppings were wilted and not fresh. I would never go back, they should have been honest and suggested something else.

Paid $27 dollars for tabuleh and chicken salad. When I questioned it I was told the side of small chicken was $17 even though on the menu a shawarma platter which included rice, chicken roasted potatoes and a salad was $ $18.95

December 22, 2023

During my recent visit to Pitalicious, I was deeply disappointed, primarily due to the customer service. Right from the onset, the staffs lack of attention was glaringly evident. They exhibited a level of rudeness that was not only directed at me but also at other customers, and even Uber drivers. This kind of behavior was unprecedented in my dining experiences. Their unprofessionalism cast a shadow over the entire experience, making it rather unpleasant. Its a shame to see a restaurant with such potential being undermined by poor customer service. I sincerely hope the management takes this feedback seriously and implements necessary changes for the betterment of future customer experiences.

Not worth the money. Spent $40 for two platters and as per the description they did not have the roasted potatoes neither they offerred some replacement. The kebabs were not kebabs it was just grilled chicken with no seasoning. The guy said he added some extra rice as they did not have potatoes but it was just a normal serving. Would rather spend $40 on something thats worth the price and taste good as well. I wish they did a refund for the unworthy food.

May 2021 - The staff are wearing some plastic mask that hovers an inch in front of their mouth and nose but it is completely open above and on the sides. Yes, they cant cough or sneeze *directly* on your food but the mask does little to stop aerosols. They definitely chose comfort over safety. I also witnessed one of the staff handled cash with a glove, then wipe their gloved hand on a towel and proceeded to serve food. The food was decent, the staff was friendly but Im not going back.

Long overdue to leave a review/rating on this place. This mans food is extremely good. There are lots of middle eastern restaurants in the GTA-some good, some bad; but when you go here you can watch and surely taste, the pride this man puts into his food. Not a huge menu-and thats probably a good thing. Pre-Covid, a comfortable place to sit down and have a good bite. I feel terrible for this man and wife that their business has likely gone way way down in the past year or so with all going on, but commendable that they are sticking it out, and that you can still surely taste the quality, and pride they have in their food. Also, the food is extremely consistent-a sign of a good place.

This establishment has switched owners some time ago, and quality wasnt up to par back then, but I was in the area recently and decided to give it another go. Still not as good as what the previous owners offered, but the new owners have stepped up their game and the quality is much better. Fresh ingredients and made to order, the beef/chicken pita is my go-to sandwich. Although the toum (garlic spread) is not as punchy as the original owners version, and I think the hot sauce has changed, the sandwich did satisfy my craving. I was hoping to grab the lemonade too but it wasnt available; It was made fresh in-house, and really made the meal extra special. The previous owners probably kept that recipe to themselves and took it with them. Would I come back? If I had a specific craving for it, yes. I wish their garlic spread had more kick though, and to be frank, I would come back just for the original garlic spread.
