Been going here for years and watched in real time as the quality has dropped. Used to be a great spot for shawarma, kosher or not, now it's only really worth the price hike if you keep kosher.

Dr. Laffa is a must-visit if you love authentic Middle Eastern flavors. Their shawarma laffa is incredible—juicy and wrapped in homemade laffa bread fresh from the oven. The hummus and baba ghanoush are both rich and flavorful, adding a perfect balance to the meal. You really can’t beat the quality for the price, making it an excellent value. Highly recommended for anyone who wants delicious, authentic food in a welcoming atmosphere !

Had 3 Chicken Shwarma pitas and a kids burger meal. Very few topping options for the pitas. No topping options for kids burger. Just a beef pati on a bun. The Toppings were freezing cold and actually cooled the chicken also. Cost us $86. Chicken was flavouless and seemed like it had not been on the rotisserie long enough to get the flavour. Chicken was picked from a steel bin. Not even fresh cut. Would never go back and will go put of my way to tell people not to go. Most disappointing food experience I have had in a long time.

October 21, 2024

The shawarma was completely flavorless and I'm pretty sure I picked off a piece of mold off the pita. The pita tasted completely stale. This place went really downhill I definitely will not be back. $21 for a shawarma and a pita is already ridiculous. Zero flavor and taste made it that much worse

It was holiday they were open, for a brunch. I noticed after ordering the meal beside from an exoensive brunch the Indian server who was preparing my meal salad did not washhands and asked her to wear gloves and notified the owner, did not do something although the glove box were infront of her. Feel disgusted with my meal anyway still pain but threw in the bin. Owner never asked the worker the reason. Stay away from this place.

Terrible food poisoning symptoms 2 hours after eating half a falafel laffa sandwich! I may need a visit to the ER. My elderly parents shared a shawarma laffa that I brought home an hour later. Hopefully they won't get sick. I had a shawarma sandwich at this place a few years back with no issues. However, this time the toppings did not look fresh or appetizing. Should've gone with my instinct and canceled the order.

Most expensive plate of rice and chicken I have ever had in my whole life 😭 $40 dollars for this portion ?? One dry pita bread on the side. Paper under chicken soaked got mixed with Chicken and got ripped off. couldn’t even take it out. Chicken is so rubbery and definitely reheated multiple times no doubt. But again, Is that suppose to be seriously $40? Other places cost like max 14-15 dollars for this. Literally everywhere else cost 14 for this much food with better toppings. But $40 for this portion ?? I am so shocked .

Fantastic! Fresh food and toppings, very kind and friendly staff, amazing Laffa wraps! Come hungry and skip your diet for the day, you'll thank me. We ordered 1 laffa wrap for each of us and we both could only eat half. Took the rest to go. This is the kind of place where you pay for 1 meal and get an amount enough to save half for dinner time. The shop is very clean and there are plenty of tables to sit 4 people at each with space in the restaurant to skip a table to be able to physically distance with other patrons. I'm very glad that I was recommended Dr Laffa's, and I am eager to go back again! I recommend the chicken schnitzel!

Slow rude service, laffa was 27.00 not much chicken skewer, place ran out of laffa bread, restaurant could use a makeover. Fries in lafa were old and sogy.

October 21, 2024

We spent 20 minutes, after giving our order, being brushed aside for others who came in after us. When we asked if they were doing our order, we were told maybe in 10 minutes, sit down , at which point we left. Really? This is your business model? What poor service!!!

October 21, 2024

My wife went in today and was asking about a dish.And whether it had not made in it cause she was making purchases for the school. She was wearing a cross cause shes catholic and they looked at her cross specifically and then were very rude to her to the point that she had to leave the store. I think that says about enough. Kid-friendliness: Very judgemental and unprofessional

I ordered hummus with ground beef and laffa. The beef had burnt spots and cold spots, tasting like it was microwaved. The hummus was fridge-cold, not served warm as it should be. The laffa was chewy and tough, and did not taste fresh. Furthermore, it was swelteringly hot in the restaurant and it was not a comfortable dining experience. I really did not want to post a negative review, but sadly I feel the need to. Dr Laffa used to be wonderful - the quality has gone far downhill.

Last time we ate the laffas it was not a good experience; we paid so much and it had barely any meat or toppings. The same cant be said about today. We shared our previous experience in our order, and the sandwiches today were not only tasty, but filled generously with meat and toppings. We appreciate the staff for listening to our comments!

Walked in around 5:00 p.m. to order some food. Person buying the cash register did not make eye contact and was chatting on his phone. The food was decent. Portion size okay. But the price es are absolutely ridiculous. Its more expensive to eat at this restaurant than a fancy full service restaurant in the core. For me, Dr. Lafa has gone downhill and is not what it once was

Latest review: I am not sure what happened but they increased their prices significantly and the meat portions decreased. There is no proportion between the salads and meat. Unfortunately, I dont think it is worth it anymore. Previous review: Absolutely delicious and juicy (we got the shawarma in pita), excellent variety and very tasty. Dietary restrictions: Kosher

3 stars here is being generous. And thats because I know what it used to be , I used to come here once a week. Its quality has gone downhill. Shawarma rotisserie isnt working and the shawarma is being burnt now. The staff is really unhappy working there. Someone just needs to put some care into the place. Clean it up , get things working and improve the day to day operations. we all love dr laffa but this location is loosing business.

When I arrived at this place the parking lot was horrible I almost broke my front end of my car with all the huge pot holes. The front entrance of the restaurant was flooded with soapy water I almost slipped.The prices were Outrageous. The pita bread came out of a black garbage bag why ? I dont know.The taste was completely bland the bread had burnt marks all over it just careless. Cashier server was rude and impatient.There was no one in there except my wife and I that should have been a clue to stay away.With those prices and the stomach ache that I got and the dirtyness of the restaurant and almost slipping on the soapy water Im surprised that I didnt need a Doctor!!!! Lesson learned next time I will go with my first impression. Never again first and last Time.

March 21, 2024

Possibly one of the worst shawarmas Ive ever had in my life. There are so many better places in Canada and across the word... I cant understand why anyone would go here. It tasted like a poor imitation of other peoples foods and cultural dishes. Avoid at all costs and warn your closest of kin. It also has a weird aftertaste and smell. I went here specifically for kosher food and I got something else, so horrible, and a weird aftertaste and smell.

Ordered a few main courses for take out. Spent $151 and the meal was mediocre. Hummus masabaha should have tahini, maybe some olive oil , there was nothing except some chickpeas, looked terrible. The main courses, the israeli salad was just cutup vegetable, no salad dressing, the grilled eggplant was suppose to come with tahini, of course there was none. The kebob dinner came with 2 lousy kebobs, you needed a magnifying glass to see them. The kebob was ordered with fries and israeli salad , all were mixed in the plate for takeout. the salad was warm from the fries, and it was just unappetizing, expensive, and disappointing. Not worth the money spent.

Used to come pick up lunch once a week during the pandemic and the service has always been pretty bad. Would place an order online, and they would only start making it once I got there because they didnt realize they had received an order. I was able to put up with that because the food was generally very good. Not anymore. Went for lunch yesterday and the gentlemen behind the wall didnt say hello and ignored me for 2 minutes while he was cleaning and couldnt be bothered to hand me the bag he had already prepared. I ordered the falafel which tasted like they were fried the day before. I ordered the shawarma hummus and he forgot to put my laffa in the bag. I ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich and there was hardly any chicken. All 3 items had something wrong. Good food can make up for lack luster service, but now that the food is not good, I will NOT be coming back.

I have no idea what happened to this place. Up until yesterday I would swear that Dr Laffa had the best laffa sandwichs ever!! Yesterday I had the worse laffa sandwich Ive ever had... anywhere!!! Period!! There was an option to chat so I sent a message and of course nobody responded to me. It read... Just wanted to let you know, I swear by Dr laffa and we go in all the time and also order for pick up. I just picked up 2 laffa sandwichs from the Bathurst location and it is the worst laffa weve ever had!! You would never be able to convince me this came from Dr Laffa if I hadnt picked it up myself. It is ice cold, even though I picked up soon after ordering. Its at least 30% smaller than its ever been and the chicken is so hard and chewy that its like it was made days ago and the bread is so chewy you can barely get through it. My wife opened hers and is just eating the inside. Its extremely disappointing. I dont understand what could have happened unless they changed ownership. Highly do not recommend

January 21, 2024

The laffa bread was chewy and cold. The shawarma was burned and cold. We were dining in and it honestly felt like they didn t have the heat on (a few others had made this comment as well). The guy serving us was not friendly. We moved out of the Bathurst area to Bowmanville and I was craving authentic Israeli food. Big disappointment.

Absolutely & consistently delicious & authentic! By far our favorite Middle Eastern food in Toronto, and have been enjoying it regularly for years since they first opened. The chicken shawarma laffa wraps with a selection of their amazing adds that you pick at the counter as they make it for you (hummus, tahina, grilled eggplant, chopped tomato cucumber salad, etc, etc) are super delicious and each one is cut in half and enough for two meals.

I had heard good reviews about this place before and yesterday passing by the store with my partner, we ordered a Shwarma and a Felafel wrap.The laffa bread was not fresh the Shwarma made my boyfriend sick, and I also got some stomackacke after eating Felafel.

Dietary restrictions: Kosher- we chose this restaurant based on dietary restrictions; however, it was the worse food I have ever had from a fast food, mid eastern food. Dripping in oil and soggy, even baking the fries couldn t get them crispy. Sad excuse for chicken schnitzel, over cooked and inedible . The baba ganush (egg plant salad) was okay. The food was not even mediocre, disappointing and substandard!There are no words to describe how bad it was! I suggest you go anywhere else!

I was planing my sons bar mitzvah for an entire year and hoping everything would go right and it did except the food. That was served by dr laffa. My expectations were not met at all. The tables were empty - 10 people shared food that was served for 5. They served my guests samples size dishes but I was charged for a full dinner price. The guests told me there was no food. I was so embarrassed and Yoram the owner had no sympathy. I would not recommend to spend your money.

For F sake, I have no idea how this place got 4 stars. I have eaten shawarma all over Canada, Dr Kaffa is the WORST! it is either Canadian does not have sense of good food or the comments are fake. I had diarrhea and vomiting after eating here. Food came with pieces of aluminum foil, Too much gravy. Wrap not fully done. Fries with hair on it. Falafel balls tastes like they were cooked with last week oil. The manager there does not even smile, I had to ask for my fries and balls as he forgot to deliver but charge.

Ive been here 6 times, so this review isnt based on one experience. First, the food is good, but its inconsistent. Today I came, waiting 25mins to order because they were so slammed with UBER orders. I finally got to order and they rushed my food. The laffa is 3/4 the size when theyre busy then if they have time to make it slow. They cut it in half if theyre not busy, if they are, like today, they throw it in tin foil with half the fillings as normal. Its good food but DO NOT go here when they are busy, if you walk in and see them sweating, food all over the place, big line, come back another time. they do not operate well when busy. Its a totally different experience and food quality.

My go-to place for shwarma when Im visiting family in Toronto. For the most part, my shwarma is always tasty and I add eggplant, coleslaw, carrots, pickles and hummus. Only once has my order been wrong and the tin foil was wrapped within the food, causing me to have to pick the tin foil out myself. Service can be slow at times. Also, my boyfriend has a severe peanut allergy and the staff wouldnt tell us what oil they use to cook the French fries. Every restaurant we eat at, staff always tells us what oil is used. Its a shame as I loved eating their fries prior to me dating my boyfriend.

Shawarma is huge and expensive but lacks flavour. Too much eggplants, carrots and tahini. Its not salty, not sour - Its just plain. In two words - lots of food, no taste.

Seeing our order getting ready while bread is being made fresh, right in front of you, is part of the experience. The food is very tasty and the staff are great. Worth a repeat.

Awesome place, a must visit when youre in Toronto, best laffa you have ever tasted. Even if you dont like laffa in general I still recommend you try his schwarma laffa. Not expensive place. Very quick service

Not your typical Shawarma joint. The laffa shawarma was kind of bland. realized after we left that the Shawarma wasnt warmed up on a grill - had to bite into a cold, hard shawarma (not fun at all). Portion sizes are great - one is enough for 2 people! Interior of the restaurant could use a tweak, pretty messy and rough in here as others have said as well.

Im a certified laffa noob and had to try it for myself. The laffa itself is the dough of the show. This laffa is chewy, salty and super tasty. My friend actually ordered just the laffa bread. I had a bigger appetite and ordered the lamb and beef kabob laffa with everything on it. The kabob was nice, tasty but would be great with a bit more seasoning. Surprisingly I loved all the addons more than I did the kabob. The carrots were garlicy, well seasoned, and soft. The eggplant was also a fantastic addition. The addons are so good that I would order a veggie laffa if they had it (they do). Eat this on a plate with a knife and fork. Its impossible to consume this laffa and not have your hands all oily. Id definitely come back for more!

Food is excellent however this place gets slammed and they dont have the staff available to handle the demand at times. Highly recommend getting the Laffa bread (instead of a pita) for your next Chicken Schwarma! You wont regret it!

Excellent size and quality of food. This is the go-to in the area for your shawarma cravings. Egg plant, peppers, even french fries as toppings. Everything is made to quality and hot. So good you can try to inhale the whole thing but really you shouldnt as one order can feed 2.
