My husband and I stopped in for a quick bite to eat and we were very delighted. The food was gourmet. We even had some delicious lentil soup. We highly recommend this place if you like high quality food. Look forward to ordering the family meal deal!!

We were just searching for a quick dinner and found out this amazing gem, wonderful portion, the biggest size I could imagining for a shawarma. And the food is fresh and clean. Very tasty! On top of that amazing customer service they offer us to try their soup, free chocolate and candies. We will definitely come back soon!

Truly one of best most filing shawarma's you can buy in GTA. Better then a 5* star restaurant in Yorkville.

Let me tell you that this was the best tasting Shawarma in all of Toronto!! I bought a shawarma from them a couple of months ago and it was not the best. But I decided to go back and give it a try again. It was SOO good that I went back again the same week. Mary is the sweetest as she greeted me each time with the brightest smile and great laughs. After talking with Mary she did confirm that there is new management. 10/10 recommend!

I just bought 2 chicken shawarmas and 1 falafel wrap. The new owners just starting running the place and were very nice. Place is clean. Quality of the food was pretty good, like home made, in a way. All the best to this guys. Likely I will give it 5 stars if I come back in a few weeks.

Ordered a single shawarma with mixed meat (chicken and beef) around 2:30pm during the week. Excellent value, taste, and overall experience. This is mostly a takeout spot, however, I do see a patio in the back which I can assume will open once the weather warms up. Extremely friendly and generous staff, clean, and simple easy-to-read menus. Food was prepared quickly and was finished even quicker!

Finally, a shawarma place has opened in Don Mills! This place is great. We ordered the chicken shawarma and the falafel which were both amazing. The quality of the food is great, and the young man working the counter is very friendly which is nice. To the owner, please update your hours of business on google. I was there at 11 am today and you were closed.

Tried to drop in for lunch today, they were closed, place was dark. A for sale sign posted outside. Another one bites the dust? Food/service cant have been that great. Update Dec 29/21: Walked by the place, they were open. Saw that kitchen staff were not wearing masks. So, I kept walking....took my business elsewhere. Would you like a side of Covid with your shawarma??? Shame on these people. They deserve to go out of business for flaunting public health rules.

The shawarmas were ok but the lady working last night doesnt know what she is doing AT ALL. Ordered 3 shawarmas and asked for medium hot sauce on all three and she didnt put it on any of them after she confirmed 3 times. Also asked for no onions on my sandwiches but she still put it in one of them. All the shawarmas were very dry even though we asked for all sauces. Not sure how they can mess up something very simple because it ruines the overall taste.

My sister brought me here today after we got our nails done. I was reluctant because I m very very picky about my falafel. The lady working there was extremely welcoming. I ordered my falafel shawarma and my sister got a chicken one. I don t eat chicken but I loved watching her cut it off because you could tell how juicy and tender it would be. My falafel was moist and cooked to perfection. The toppings were extremely fresh, you could tell she took pride in how she prepared everything. She constructed our shawarma s with love and I got almost every single veggie topping and all of the sauces. I could not have been more satisfied with what I ate. Fresh, healthy, and it hit the spot! I came home and went on about it to my husband so he felt left out and had to go and get himself a chicken shawarma. His reaction was on the same level as my sister and I. If you re looking for good quality food at great prices as well head over to Baba Shawarma as it will not disappoint. I know that I will be back again and again!!!

I have gone to this takeout place twice now in the last month and BOTH times they were locked/closed up during open hours. It s very disappointing to decide on a place, check online if it s open, drive all the way there just to be met with a locked door. I won t be coming back.

Mediocre. Portions are small for a $20 platter. Shawarma chicken was ok but lathered in garlic and rice was subpar. With the abundance of good shawarma spots in the city, I wouldn t return.
