The food was fresh. Amazing taste. The quality was perfect and it is entirely worth the price!!! They are not shy on the serving. This is A+ quality. My first time here and I will be returning 100%. I’ve tried many Shawarma restaurants on Lawrence Ave E and this one is by far the best and now my favourite. My family loved it! You know when you watch an advertisement and they load up the plate but then you get there and it’s not the same. THIS PLACE IS LEGIT. THEY LOAD IT UP. 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I keep giving this place chance after chance. It was one of my favourites. The chicken shawarma was raw, the hummus in the beef was expired. The half chicken? Recooked so many times it lost all its flavour. I threw out the food. Thanks for being so disrespectful to food.
The shawarma was awesome and the taste was good too along with a decent price. The fries were also good as expected. They do have a small Patio. However, the inside dining area is small and cannot accommodate too much people at once. Would recommend people to try and see for once.
I went to this place a long time ago , recently tried it again last night and was very impressed. The size of the schwarma and the amount of meat is well worth it and it taste delicious , will def be back 👍🏽
Based out of Toronto was told this is the best shawarma spot.. best is an understatement!! Honestly won’t be eating shawarma anywhere else but here when I’m in the area. Incredible, tasty shawarma!! I got the Lebanese chicken shawarma with fries inside.Packed and fresh and made with love. The ladies working were so wonderful as well!! I’ll definitely be back and you have to stop by🤞🏽
I will say their Shawarma is pretty darn good, maybe not the best but I have given them a 5 star rating due to the amount of meat they give and overall value I don’t think they can be beat. At about $10 a pita they STACK IT with meat and toppings. Where at most places you might need 2, this place will fill you with 1. The overall flavour was really good too so no complaints at all I just hope they keeps things like this as I’ll definitely return and recommend it to others.
This place offers the best shawarma in Scarborough, and everything is incredibly fresh. The chicken is juicy and tender. I ordered both the chicken platter and chicken shawarma, and both were extraordinarily delicious. The portions are generous and reasonably priced. The meat is piled high and served very fresh. I highly recommend this place for shawarma in Scarborough!
I hadn't visited this place for about a year, and it seems like the management has changed. While the place looks cleaner and somewhat renovated, the issues with service and staff were glaring. At 11 PM, the restaurant was incredibly busy, yet only one poor girl was making all the orders by herself. They wrap the food in 2-3 layers of paper, which makes it difficult to open and eat, and it tears apart, unlike before. Unfortunately, the quality has gone down significantly. There were three or four more employees present, but none were assisting her. One employee was warming up his Tim Hortons coffee in the oven, another was praying in the back, another was on the phone, and none of them paid attention to the huge lineup. Photos are attached for reference. There are plenty of staff members, but no one seems willing to work. They all try to ignore customers and engage in unnecessary activities, like hiding in the back and pretending to check shelves. The lineup was crazy, and I saw 3-4 customers leave due to the long wait times! Hopefully, management realizes that it's not the time for drinking coffee or praying during a Friday night dinner rush. They need to hire people who are willing to work, not just those who are slow and trying to kill time until they can go home. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place. I can say -5 Google review!
Legendary shawarma spot used to be the best, but now they are making a comeback. Huge portions food is delicious great customer service
This use to be a great place to get a shawarma, not sure what happened. The wraps have no taste and the beef is over cooked. The owners should try what they are serving to people.
Food is decent, but they are charging HST on Takeout food even though its exempt from sales tax in Ontario during GST/HST holiday, starting Dec. 14. When I questioned it, she refused to give me a receipt but still charged me $19.20 for 2 Shawarmas that were $16.99 (for 2).
Two shawarmas deals are good. Mostly, fresh stuff and fulfilling. You will not be disappointed!
Shawarma does not taste authentic. Food not fresh.
I do not recommend it. The taste is very, very bad and the food is stored. Bad food. I advise you to go to Al-Sumaq next to it. Rotten and bad food, I do not recommend it at all. I recommend sumac next to it
One of my favorite shawarma place , I like chicken plate ,nice taste Enjoyed Food
Amazing shawarma both chicken and beef are worth a go.
The best in the city. Suck nice people work there as well. Need to try more than just the shawarma s next time. Their lamb shank looks amazing to for $20. Great price even better food !
Took me 40 mins to get my food with only 3 people ahead of me. There was only one guy making food. The wrap fell apart. Asked for fries in my wrap he said yes and never put them. Tasted so bland. Will never repeat.
We went here since Sumaq was packed (overflowing rather). Food was good, pricing was confusing (no one knew what 2 for 1 shawarma meant?). Service was awfully slow, server worked st snails pace and kept making wierd faces when I asked a couple of questions about the menu.
Find a new place! This place used to be the spot. Lines out the door. Must be new ownership because the pricing from the signs dont match the cash register. Try to convince you its the right price but its obvious its not. Food hygiene is meh. I dont see any of the regular folks. After arguing over the price I just dont feel like eating here anymore. Other reviews say the same.
I have been going here for years. Please be careful and thoroughly make sure you know what you are being charged via debit and cash. My gf had a recent experience where the price on the screen says one thing and the actual charge is significantly higher. If you are paying by cash, make sure you check to see if you get your proper change back. The food is okay; portions are decent, but being overcharged is unacceptable and unscrupulous. We wont be going there again. There are other food options with better reputations nearby in the area.
Great food, and service. Give the green spice a shot! Hot overly hot, it adds to the experience! Would definitely go back!
Portion size was huge, chicken wraps are definitely worth it. ibrahims has a couple tables inside and a few tables outside. Clean, fast and great customer service. Will definitely be coming back!
BEST shawarma. Shawarma is filled with SO much meat. Definitely worth the price.Very high cleanliness.
Their shawarma is the best I have ever tasted. The shawarma is filled to the brim with meat. One shawarma from Ibrahim shawarma is worth at least 2 shawarma from other places. My go-to shwarma place.
Ibrahim b.b.q has to compete With the best 5 stars Parking: About 15 parking spots
They will be in top 3 shawarma list undoubtedly, one of the cleanest kitchen I ever came across in Canada. Good Quantity, Quality shawarma for decent price. I would highly recommend this place Food : 5/5
price is not 2 for 1 as advertised
We used to come often here, despite our 40min drive. We recently noticed some changes to the menu and their containers. Its not the same taste or portions. They also raised the price significantly on the plates. We wont be coming here anytime. They used to have the plate mixed with all the sauces and toppings, now its all separate and taste was really affected, they used to pack it with meat and now looks really light. Shawarmas were smaller, they haha an option now to get a bigger one. There was nothing wrong with the older size. We are disappointed and in the search to the next Shawarma place.
Nice made the food items that I ordered.And very friendly service.
Today I had the pleasure to try food from this place and I found it great! The place was clean and the food looked & tasted very fresh. I read some reviews saying the meat was bland, I didnt find it bland at all - the meat was full of flavour in my opinion. My boyfriend loved it. Would definitely recommend and come back.
The place is clean, the service is good, and the food is delicious. Even my children liked the food. I recommend it!
The best shawarma, Lots of meet and topping, huge sandwich . Good service, good price.
Very expensive
Best Shawarma in TO! Courteous staff, very tasty food. I have been eating at Ibrahim Halal every time I am in the city, always a treat!
The food was not cooked and I would not come here again. this place is not recommended.
I never come back here again Their employees seem to not want to work. Very bad service If they allow to give 00 I will do too Service : 1/5
Portions are much more generous than other spots on Lawrence, and flavour is on point. Not my favorite (although not far behind) but definitely recommended
I am so disappointed ,this use to be my favorite place to order take out dinner home for my family and me. I always ordered mix shawarma plate and the new way of serving take out was disappointing because all sauces was put in small plastic container and the sauce is not even covering 1/4 of the food that is disappointing before they used put it top of the plate before closing and that would cover the whole plate . The music was so loud I had a hard time hearing the person asking me what I wanted and he had a hard time hearing me what I asked on top they didnt even add the the green Chilli spice when i specifically asked it to be spicy.
Very bad customer service and attitude. They changed our order and argued about it. We had to pay more and had to eat something that we didn t order. Food was just average.
Didnt know what to expect but wow it was by best shwarma I ever had!!!
No comment.
Come here for food and you won t be disappointed. Coming here for years and same great taste.
The chicken shawarma wrap is highly recommended. Friendly staff, great food
My too Shawarma shop in the whole GTA. Every person I bring here raves about it. The beef shawarma is to die for!
Shawarma bought here is the best. They give alot in the wrap.
2 beef or 2 chicken Lebanesee Shawerma for 16.99 but because I got mixed the price shot up to double $32. Then the owner argues with me saying his outdated signage is clear. He s rude and shouldn t be working in a restaurant but in a jail as his service and attitude reflects that. Shawerma was a 5 at best
High quality meet. Tastes great!
Very cheap service I was oder an single special It was 6$ something but i took some extra meet extra meet together 8$ something but they took 15$ and the food was bad smell
Completely false prices outside it says a different promotion when you go inside to order it it s completely different and they refused to acknowledge it they charged 2x what s actually listed on the board outside they claimed that the price outside can t be changed when there was literal corrections listed above it. Old chicken they put in the shawarmas
This used to be my go to place to have shawarma but not sure what has happened that their chicken in the shawarma tastes really bland and they have raised their price when compared to the quality of food they are providing. I bought today and i couldnt event finish all of it while i was so hungry. Definitely not going back and it really ruined my mood.
A very good quality and large shawarma. A very friendly nice staff makes the sandwiches. Food
I love everything about this place but they recently raised their prices. The dinner is now $8.00 more than what it was, $28 and change was the total. Unfortunately it s a little too much for me for a take out dinner.
This WAS the go to place. I would recommend Ibrahim to everyone, large portions, good prices. Was it extremely tasty? No. But you got your monies worth which made it a 5 star. Now? Ibrahim is charging more than some of the elite top tier shawarma places in Scarborough while dramatically reducing portions. Single plate is 24.99!!! That is insane. I waited over 30 minutes for my food with 5 people in front of me. The worker spent almost 10 minutes chopping it up with a friend? Sunken cost continuously waiting. The word is out this place blows, please if you re reading this go somewhere else.
The food is delicious, the service was great, it was 1 lady putting everything together by herself, she was so kind.
they have increased the price by $2. It used to be $9.95 per shawarma. Now it is $12 a piece. I used to go to this store last 10 years, but they decided to change their food quantity and price to make more money. Please dont worry about going there.
Great food and Excellent service! It was very packed when I went.
Best Shawarma Ever!
Delicious shawarmas.
Good shawarma
Amazing fully loaded shawarma at excellent price. They have outdoor seatings too. Not sure why people go sumaq when thus is better. I highly recommend!
As i was planning on dining in, one of the servers sprayed really strong chemical it literally made me sick. As I was having the sharwarma.. it was dry and meat had no taste the most important part is that it fell apart. I left the store with out eating them and left a note. I am definetely never coming back here
Good shawarma, lots of meat. Outside signs can be a bit misleading if you dont read the details. Good clean seating area and good service too. Parking: Free parking at the back, limited spots
Deserves a higher rating.
Not coming back
Bad service I ordered some a shawarma didn t like it at all tasted super bad so I went across the street to sumaq and brought it over to eat at table owner said your not allowed to eat sumaq here food taste awful just walk over to sumaq and get there stuff this taste horrible
I dont know if this place has new owners now but I dont recognize the new faces here anymore. The quality of the vegetables gotten better but I do agree with the rest of the folks here doing their reviews - youd think they would have already by now improve on their hygiene with the glove thing . On top of that I could sense that there was favoritism going on (basically your staff is a little racist). When I came in I did not get served for like 15-20mins ( nobody was in the restaurant but a man eating his food.) Then the lady comes out and says give to her a moment as she is cleaning her station- which i did patiently. But why is that the lady quickly responds to the guy sitting down already eating, butts infront speaks to her in Arabic and offers him service for another round of food? At the same time an African-American steps in line behind me and were both still waiting to get served (felt like another 15 mins or so). Then there is a guy that comes out from the back and the lady finally serves me. A family walks in and then the guy from the back acknowledges the family but ignores the man behind me. What is that? What was funny is the that the man behind me even called them out on it. So do I have to speak Arabic to get served ? Im Asian but I think I got better service still with the other old staff. Theres a senior staff member I would always see working like a dog ( even with a leg he limps on) would always be polite and say hi - hes even Arabic too. Oh and I even think the owner was there in the back - I see him delegating work for the guy. Obviously, theyre speaking in Arabic amongst each other making the two non Arabic customers feel uncomfortable
Idk why this is rated so low, best portions in the city, really good too!
Love the shawarmas, mostly the beef shawarma.
The shawarma gave me strength, it healed me.
Was my go to for shawarmas but today I found a dead bug inside my shawarma after I took a few bites of it. I went in to to tell the ladies working and she replaced it with a new one but I had lost all my appetite. I wont be coming back anymore Food
This place is amazing best food I ever had the lamb falls off the bone. Wish there was one closer to my home.
Very bad experience and too expensive bad food quality nd staff is not knowledgeable without understanding i spent 26 dollars on shawarma platter and 3 dollars drinks I was thrown my food in garbage
Very good food and tasty Good service good environment Food
Im giving 3 stars for the service, not the food. I love the Shawarma here, it is truly delicious. The minty hot sauce is a nice touch. BUT.....the food takes forever. Every time. Its to the point where Im convinced they do it on purpose. I believe theyre trying to keep a lineup in order to compete with the busiest shawarma spot in the city (Sumaq) Just across the street. I think they want to APPEAR busy. They have multiple people in the shop just standing around and watching as the lineup grows and grows, with only one person making shawarma at a painfully slow pace. Ive been there before and each time people complain but the staff doesnt even look up. Last time several people left in frustration. The way they go about things there, I can only assume they do it on purpose. If there is even 5 people in line in front of you, youll be waiting a good 25 minutes. Ill be back for a shawarma, theyre that good, but only if there is not a single person waiting in line before me. Frankly, its disrespectful.
Good price and good portion for the price
Recently moved back to the area after about 15 years and have been slowly working my way through all the Mediterranean and middle Eastern places... This is by far the best so far... dont be tempted by nearby places with flashier signs... this is flavorful and so authentic!... also staff are lovely... Forgot to ask for bread with my shish tawook.. they just gave it to me for free...
Really nice. Very authentic...really nice flavor on the shish tawook, every component was really thoughtful and tasteful... and lovely staff too...
No respect for people s time. 3 people completing one order. If they have someone in front of you that speaks the same language, you re done, no food for you, catching up is more important. 2nd visit here and decided not worth it at all, wait time min 30 mins.
This place never disappoints! I have been going here for the past 10 years and it just kept the consistency! There are other more famous shawarma places around but this one is better!
The food is delicious, making it the best place to enjoy a juicy, tasty shawarma generously filled with meat. Parking: Behind the restaurant there is space for parking or else opposite to the restaurant there is a big plaza with a huge parking lot Wheelchair accessibility: Can be accessed in wheelchair
Ive been a loyal customer of Ibrahim Halal BBQ for over 15 years, and I can confidently say that their mixed shawarma plate is the best in town! The flavors are always spot on, the meat is tender and juicy, and the portions are generous. The service is consistently excellent, and the quality of food has never wavered. Whether youre a long-time fan like me or trying it for the first time, Ibrahim Halal BBQ will not disappoint. Highly recommend! #BestShawarma #IbrahimHalalBBQ #15YearsStrong
Really good shawarma. Way under-rated Dietary restrictions: Halal Food : 5/5 |
Some of the best shawarma I ve ever had. Fresh and really tasty. The restaurant was also clean and it was a good atmosphere. Service was great as well. Would recommend if you need a quick bite of food!
I ve been to this shop twice with my friends, and both times, the shawarma was great. The amount of meat is generous and definitely fills you up. There are plenty of veggies too, which adds a nice balance. Overall, a solid 4 out of 5!
We bought 2 shawarmas and two drinks and salads and sat with my friend outside patio to eat and my Younger daughter decided to go to Sumaq restaurant across Ibrahim s to grab one shawarma to try a diff one since she wanted to try that and while we sat there and eating , she came back to sit on same table outside patio to eat with us. One of their owner guy came and asked us to leave. It s like we took their dignity away !! This is how the service industry is these days. Their shawarma quality have gone down mainly taste is not there same way how it used to be. Just like their attitude have gone down. Anyone who go here also should try sumac. Ibrahims Used to be much better place to eat and had some better service now their attitude mixed with competition have compromised the service. We will never go back to this business again. I been telling past few years to all my friends to go here. Won t be doing that again. After one year as they were under renovation we waited to go back.And was disappointed in their attitude. I know where to go here after . Sumac. They served us with no issues. As we all walked back there and we followed her with the drinks That s called service first !!
There is no 2 for 1 Shawarma. It is false advertising . Should take the sign down. You will only know once you are about to pay .
Best Shawarma & Shawarma plate on lawerence
Fire that bald headed guy that works at night time every time I get my shawarma I take one bite and it turns out like this or burnt and it s ONLY HIM
Great food, lots of meat, good value for the money. Just not air conditioned and stuffy atmosphere
DO NOT GO HERE!! DOES NOT TASTE LIKE SHWARMA! Unbelievable that a middle eastern place does not know how to make shwarma, despite being maned and run by Persians. It was SOOO BAD, my friend and l struggled to get through half. Ended up throwing out the rest. It is so unfortunate that the chickens and cows had to die twice the second time by their hands to become horrible food. Save your money and your aggravation and wait in line at Sumaq. That was the original plan, we unfortunately didnt enough time. There is a reason they are that busy.
Amazing place and service. The shawarma wrap is quite big with lots of meat as well veggies. Will definitely visit again.
Very tasty food I like it a lot. They give huge amount of beef .
Delicious food, super clean kitchen and staff. Freindly staff, warm atmospher Food : 5/5
The best shawarma
Excellent food.
Best Shawarma Store in the city !! Ibrahim the owner is very kind!!
Decent
Great place great people great food. And well cleaned kitchen
Beware of their 2 for 1. Its a total rip off they give two shawarmas for the same price as of 2 shawarma with probably one or two dollars off. Food
The owner at 1967 Lawrence ave E is terrible. 6 kids brought food from a different store and decided to eat outside Ibrahims because they have free seats outside (mind you, it was 1 am and place was completely empty) and right as they re about to eat, owner comes and kicks them out and starts touching the chairs restlessly in an effort to get them to leave quicker. Disgusting act just because they didn t choose to purchase from Ibrahim and made them leave. Also the food at Ibrahim sucks too and terrible quality, very annoying music too
The place. Was fantastic from the minute you walked in The chicken is roasted.The man behind the counter extremely polite and clean I think this place can stack up with any in the city, and its certainly on par with sumac. Without the lineup and without the attitude This place is amazing and the food is fantastic.You owe yourself to try it
Portion size was massive, meat well seasoned and handful of veggies and rice. More on the expensive side (~$24 after tax). Easier to get food here during lunch hours as it s less busy.
Real enjoyed the shawarma. Plenty of meat and great flavor. Service with a smile.
Atmosphere, hygiene and the quality of food is the best. Sauces are not spicy, would recommend to add double Xtra green hot sauce if you like it spicy. Parking: Free parking for about 10 cars.
The worst food in Toronto . I advise everyone to dont try it at all
The workers they have right now make shawarmas in slow motion and they have ZERO concern about how long it takes. It took 43 minutes for me to get my shawarma. The lineup wasn t even bad the workers are just slow AF. I won t be going here again if I see the same workers in the window. Shawarmas are excellent of course but not worth 43 mins standing in line
Worst Chicken Shawarma. Low quality chicken & bread
Absolutely amazing Shawarma and staff! Keep up the hard work!!
This is becoming my new favourite shawarma location. They do not cheap out on the meet or other toppings. Definitely getting your mineys worth. Ive only ever tried their wraps but looking forwars to trying their other stuff. The pictures dont do this place justice. Service was really great. Workspace was neat and tidy. Dietary restrictions: Everything is made to your request Parking: It has a parking of to the side. But people from the neighbouring restaurant tend to park there as well.
Took forever to get a takeout order despite having no lineup. Was waiting for more than 30mins for a mixed shawarma plate salad and paid 35 bucks for it. The taste was mid, but its so pricey and takes too long to prepare. Wish there were other shawarma places that opens late hours around the area.
FROM BEING BEST TO WORST!!! After 25 years being a customer of Ibrahim shawarma I would say I have now finally quit this place. Their quality and customer service has gone down. If you like to try the best shawarma in Toronto just go across the street to Sumaq and you will not regret it. The price is almost similar and food is much better.
We had the beef shawarma and to be very honest it wasnt that great like I have had better. The patio outside was nice but unfortunately u had to clean ur own tables and stuff because the staff didnt care
The worst food in Scarborough I saw them, they didnt wash the vegetables. It was the worst tast of shawrma I have ever tasted in my life. Food : 1/5
Good shawarma!
One of the best period . Food
Besttttt shawarma ever if you don t like it you actually have no taste
I have been coming to this location for years. the qaulity was absolutely amazing. I recently went to get a shawaram and came home to a pile of mush. the taste has changed rhe qaulity is lacking it falls apart and you can just eat it with a fork. please just not its no longer worth the wait.
Last night, I had beef shawarma, and it was delicious. However, the only downside was that they prepared it very slowly, and I noticed a fly in one of their showcases.
I came here after eating at Sumaqs, where I had the best shawarma ever, but I was still hungry. Unfortunately, I didnt have time to lineup again. Here, the chicken shawarma wrap didnt tickle the taste buds as I would hope. That said, portions are massive. I saw the mixed plate the two customers in front of me ordered - good lord! If you are hungry, this place is for you.
Perfect
Removed 1 star due to long wait, almost 1 hour (5 customers ahead of me) & 1 star due accepting cash & debit, they dont take credit cards. The chicken sandwich was great
I didnt want to wait in line for my chicken wrap across the road, so I wandered over here for one....Yeah, I should have waited. Stale pita bread, dry mushy chicken and a VERY over powering sauce of some kind. I suggest they walk over and see how its done if they want to survive. Sorry for the negative review but that was really disappointing :-(
Tried the chicken plate. Chicken doesnt taste good and was not fresh. They also added a potato which was totally pale. Only rice and salad were good. Didnt make it worth for $20. However, the server was very friendly.
Ordered chicken shwarma. Chicken overcooked and over seasoned. Huge portion but lacks in taste.
Best pita sandwich I ve ever had
Very very very poor customer service
Before was my five stars shawarma place ,but now when the people changed even not worth it to give one star they gave me very bad beef shawarma and not fresh
Best in town , this place is one of the best in town . Trust me on this one , try the beef shawarma 10 out of 10
Best shawarma period. Go and experience it for yourself. Small place but great food. Good service. Friendly staff. Alot of meat in the raps, and its all fresh.
Very good kebabs available. Very tasty too Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible Food : 5/5 |
Food is good but wait time is pretty long
BlogTo does not know anything about food clearly. There are cheaper shawarma offers on the strip which are way better. First off this place has a disgusting atmosphere where everything is dirty especially the washroom which is definitely not halal and haram to the max. Second, the food gave me food poisoning to me this shows how low quality this food truly is. Low quality food and atmosphere. Walk across the street to Sumaq and pay a few bucks more but get something youll be able to eat without food poisoning.
I recently came to Ibrahim s with a friend and got the 2-for-1 chicken shawarma wrap. Service was quick but cash or debit only is always strange to me in this day and age because I believe the majority of people use credit and this can be seen as a reason not to go here. Plus points for the generous portion of shawarma but minus points for the price (explained a bit more below). The food wasn t bad although I did find it a bit dry for the amount of shawarma you re getting. I think $20 (after tax) for 2 shawarma wraps is a ridiculous price when other places are offering the same deal for much less. This price point becomes even more confusing when they have the most hyped shawarma joint right across from them so you d think there d be an incentive for people to come here instead, especially when Ibrahim s already has little social media presence. Overall, it was decent but it was more expensive than it should have been.
Food taste is excellent I will give 4.8 rating. Service is bit late and min takes 15 min Atmosphere is average not so attractive Parking: I recommend everyone can visit from Food prospective Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Most garbage shawarma my friend and I ate in our life and I ve eaten at like 20 different shawarma spots. No flavour, no sauces, cheap ingredients. Was so hungry we ate what we could and then threw it out because it was that bad. I don t know why people would wait for this. Their spicy beef or chicken wrap had no sauce at all, 2 for 1 special is a $2 discount or something. What a joke. I didn t want to wait in line at Sumaq so we came here based off mixed reviews. Big mistake and will never be back, will tell anyone not to go here. Staff were super rude to a woman for grabbing an extra takeout box that was on the counter by the utensils. Either put up a sign or nicely explain that. One of the workers rips the container out of her hand and says don t take this it s one dollar and throws it on the other side. Hard to watch and pretty ridiculous for something so small.
The best food EVER I love. Fresh food and full of flavours with the best prices Vegetarian options: Falafel Humus Tabule
Amazing service and food. Will be back again.
Amazing food and great customer service. Will definitely come back!!
Hands down one of the best shawarmas in the area. The staff was friendly and the service was incredibly fast. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious shawarma!
Best shawarma. The classic. Must eat. Gym rats favourite as they load it up with lots of protein .
Awesome shawarma. Always on point. Loaded with lots of protein. Always the option for shawarma Food
Amazing food for a great price :)
Probably the worst place that I ve ever eaten at. Lot of other great places near by
Good enough
Dont know why they have a large sign which says 2 for 1 shawarma above their front door. We took 2 shawarmas and got charged for both. The shawarmas were big. The chicken tasted better than the beef. However, there seemed to be something missing. Think it was the blend of ingredients. Not bad for a one time experience.
The beef shawarma was great however I was really disappointed to see their staff mistreating their none customers.We saw 3 young men seated at the patio eating their food which they bought from another restaurant. The staff came and asked them to leave very rudely. It was very disappointing.
Very rude and unprofessional, poor customer service.
The shawarma taste really bad they need to something about it
Honestly, the food is insanely delicious and fresh. It s like they re all part of one big family, and every single person there is just incredibly kind and dedicated. Plus, their chicken shawarma? Absolutely top-notch:)
i ordered the 2 for 1 for 8.99 but didn t realize until after that i was charged $23? i also bought 1 drink which is like $2..my friend also got the same but had 2 drinks instead and hers was also $23? the food tasted great but we got scammed..
Yummy shawarma
I was waiting to have a shawarma after a long time. very disappointed! chicken was not cooked properly. I got the 2 for 1 chicken shawarma.
Always great food for as long as I have been coming here. The prices are always very reasonable and the food portions and quality are great. Usually have the chicken shawarma wrap but last time had the chicken shawarma platter and it was very large and tasty.
Last time we visited was over 2 years ago and vowed to never go back. We decided to give it another shot. Glad we did. The service was great and the food, what can I say, it was absolutely amazing. There was more meat than veggies and thats what makes a great shawarma sandwich. I wish I remembered the girls name who made it for us, she was hospitable and very pleasant.
We had to queue for a short time before making the order and it didn t take longer to have it ready, the person who took our order and made it was so nice, we ordered meat shawarma, I liked the way he wrapped the bread, the sandwich was big and full of all the ingredients, it was delicious but the sourness was a bit strong, I d prefer it if it were less sharp, the place is kind of small, there were only 3 or 4 tables inside, there are 6 tables outside so we sat outside although it was cold but we enjoyed our time, it is not a fancy restaurant but the food is good.
They do not accept credit card, just cash and debit. The portions are big but the taste is not the best, their chicken and beef both are pretty dry and do not taste fresh. Food : 4/5
Delicious shawarma with fries. Pricy but great food.
The best. ..simply put Still the best.. April 18th 2014.. The one thing they must stop doing..... is all the chatting while making my order... STOP IT!!!! OR WEAR A MASK... PLEASE Otherwise, best tasting and quality and size... its definitely my favorite for the Shawarma.
BEST BEST SHAWARMA I VE TRIED IN A WHILE!! The meats were flavored really well and the servings were massive. The people working there were super nice too and they really make sure you get the best out of what they have. SUPER SUPER WORTH IT!! Plus they re open in the middle of the night
The best shawarma restaurant there is
Best Halal kebab. Reasonable meal deals, authentic taste. Visited last weekend with family has an indoor ATM as well.
Great place to go for grabbing a bite always fresh never disappoints.
Great Shwarma
Got the sandwich/wrap with fries in it, it was amazing Beautiful Food
Tasty food. Was very busy around 1am. reasonably priced. open late.
They do have one of the best Shaworma in town.
The chicken for shwarama didnt gave it fresh. They say it is fresh but me and my friends were unhappy. I didnt feel like at all eating.
To the owner, Kindly please have some consideration to your neighborhood along Wayne ave. and tell your customers not to park on a street corner where there are no parking signs especially right in front of your store . It causes traffic congestion going in and out on our street and can cause accidents. We re already communicate with our city councillor and the city regarding this issue and hope you as a owner have some consideration to your community and neighborhood in your area especially for Wayne ave community. Parking: So many illegal parked vehicles who double parked in front of their store where there is no parking sign and it is so frustrating as a homeowner of this street to go in and out.
Awesome shawarma great taste and quantity
My new favorite place for shawarma! The food is fresh, well made & they keep the area clean. The food is well priced as they fill the container, you can ask for extra sauces if needed. I was pleasantly surprised at how much food was in my container, they packed it, I could have split it with a friend. The staff are so friendly, polite & fast, they are happy to assist. There is a selection available, from platters to wraps, fries & salads. I recommend the platter, the chicken is moist but crispy. Every time I have gone there is a line up, great sign! There is parking on the side street and the traffic is busy on Lawrence, bus stop nearby & frequent buses. There are options for eating, you can dine in (a few tables) & there is a patio (weather permitting) with more seating. Lots of other options in the area for dessert or appetizers. Vegetarian options: Falafel, salade, rice, potatoes Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, veggie
I am not sure about the food but service and the look of restaurant was very bad. Special of day instead of print out they wrote it down on the pink paper and place it on the counter. For customer to know that they r only accepting cash or debit their is no sign. Only when u reach to register that you will see the sign.And also no visible sign for .50 extra charge if u pay by debit. Sorry to say not professional at all.
Best shawarma place in Scarborough!
Best beef shawarma in the GTA
Beware- 2 for 1 shawarma is a scam. Single shawarma is $8.50 but 2 for 1 shawarma is $17- The shawarma is the same size. It s bait and switch! a lot of reviews say the same thing! there was another customer complaining about the same thing when I was there.. The food was good, the service was ok and the location prob could use a good cleaning. Cost me -almost $23 for 2 for 1 and a can of pop. I won t be retuning due to this scam.
Visited Ibrahim after a long time, first stopped at sumaq across the street since i was recommended this place however as I went to sumaq and noticed the brother sharpening the knife over and over but never wiped it clean before cutting the meat, after not being received well despite providing positive feedback I left and went to Ibrahim I guess it was my worst luck because while inside speaking to the kind brother in the glasses the one who I said hello to outside came and started cutting the shawarma but wait before he did that he was ofcourse sharpening his knife and I said oh God here we go again I hope he wipes but nope he sharpened and started immediately cutting the meat, this was all while I was just speaking to the brother with the glasses about my experience I just had across the street, he was kind about it told me his boss told him its best practice to wipe the knife after sharpening and change of gloves after every 4 orders, the brother went to the back promised me a clean knife and as he was being kind and positive about it I decided I would eat but wait it didnt end there I heard the brother speak to the one cutting the meat, he hands the knife and guess what the brother started sharpening again and without wiping right in front of me started cutting meat again I asked the brother in the glasses Im like brother we just spoke about this and his response to me was he doesnt speak English Im like brother you can explain to the brother in Arabic as you did but after that I felt terrible and just decided i would not eat there with all due respect to the kind brother with glasses making the orders. If youre gonna eat at shawarma places Locally in that area know that Sumaq, Empire and also Ibrahim now are confirmed knife sharpeners who dont wipe clean their knives before cutting meat and that is just unclean and not right they know it but apparently being so busy they lose track but it wasnt busy when I went in but it may be small thing for others but to witness that at these locations its not right for us the customer and despite Ibrahim being the only one to receive my kind feedback positively the practice continued in front of me and due to that will not return.
I ordered their 2 for 1 shawarma and 1 mixed shawarma and the main problem was the chicken in it , which was totally dried and was also cold which made it awful , another thing which was the customer service which was not good along with the sitting problem
Im a devout Ghadir customer but Ibrahim is making me rethink things. So glad I tried this place. Underrated for sure.
Great food, very good atmosphere
This has become our go to Shawarma Place
Come here for the best taste and quantity
