Ducked in to grab a quick bite and to escape from the downpour coming at us sideways. Delicious chicken souvlaki wrap and falafels. This place will be on my regular rotation for sure.

I got the large chicken souvlaki dinner and it was delicious. The salad was fresh. The chicken was tender. The rice and potatoes were delicious. It’s more of a takeout place than a restaurant, however, there are chairs and tables if you do want to stay there to eat. It’s a very down-to-earth spot and the food feels homemade which was so nice. The people working here were so friendly. I will definitely be going back.

The beef gyro and chicken shawarma plates were delicious and perfectly seasoned (including the potatoes). Salad was extremely fresh. The space was bright and clean and owners were incredibly nice. I also have to mention that the washroom was spotless.

With all food inflation going crazy right now, this place still maintains its food at an affordable price—another gem hidden in the North York neighborhood. Service: The owners are super helpful and friendly when I have difficulty choosing what's for my dinner. Food: I've tried a couple of places for chicken souvlaki and I'm amazed at how soft their chicken is. Someplace might be overdo and the chicken is too dry. I'm not sure what salad dressing they have but I love it so much and lick the container to make sure none of them are wasted 😅. Remember asking for the hot sauce! It's something you'd be happy to get.

Amazing food, very tasty, owner has an amazing attitude, very friendly and with great manners, place is clean and food was superb, totally recommended! The plates are a great portion for a fair price, beef gyro, chicken shawarma and chicken souvlaki are the top 3 best dishes of the house. I had a great experience.

I work nearby and so I decided to try this place today, as an avid shawarma lover, during my short lunch break after making the mistake of going to Taste of Shawarma. This place made my day and is perfect for so many reasons. 1. The food is really good and flavourful. No dry, under seasoned meat here. The Shawarma wrap was extremely juicy, well seasoned and the toasted pita was nice as well, with the fresh condiments. 2. This place is super clean and organized. No messy ingredients or old salads. 3. The food is made fast, I waited 3-5 minutes for my wrap and I was the only one in the restaurant. 4. The owner was kind, polite and respectful. 5. The food is affordable, not overpriced at all. The only thing I would suggest is to have all your staff wear masks. Otherwise, impressive food for the price and great job putting care into your food. This is my new spot. See you soon.

I have been eating at Pita Pavillion for about 5-6 years now, thought they went out of business but discovered they moved to Marlee near Lawrence Square Mall. If you like great energy, great customer service and great food this is the place for you. After so many years the qualtiy has maintained through out the years. I would reccoment there Slouvaki Plate or Chicken Ceasar Salad as this is what i usually get. If only every restaurant in toronto would keep such high standards as Pita Pavillion.

Great little family run Greek style diner place. Can get gyros on a pita, souvlaki dinner plates, burgers, salads, etc. Always tasty when I have been and the old guy running the line seems very nice and knows his regular customers by name. <<Edit>> Heard from the owner that after 15+ years in business, his lease is no longer being renewed and management is looking to fill the food court with well-known brand franchises. I will be sad to see them go, they are the best food option in the mall! <<Edit>> <<Edit2>> They have since moved to Marlee street just north of Glencairn. Unfortunately I cant update the location on Google Maps since it is marked as closed. <<Edit2>>
