If you’re a shawarma lover, Magic Chicken Turkistanbul Doner is a must-try! Their shawarma is incredibly fresh, juicy, and bursting with flavor, with an authentic Turkish doner touch. I tried both the beef and chicken shawarma—both were excellent! The staff is friendly, and the service is excellent. The dining space is quite small, so it’s more suited for takeout or a quick bite. Prices are very reasonable, making it a great option for an affordable meal. Bonus: there’s free parking available, shared with the plaza. Highly recommend this spot for a satisfying shawarma experience!

Some of the best fried chicken I've had. The Al-Baik is injected with hot sauce, and the exterior is perfectly crispy and greasy (which I like) at the same time. Stays that way even if you don't have a chance to eat it right away. Very flavourful and always hits. Just wish they'd take phone orders, but they don't since they've have a few no-shows.

Their shawarma is made with in-house pita and tastes great. We also tried their fried chicken, which is juicy and flavorful. It’s freshly prepared when you place your order, so you’ll notice some oil on the chicken when you get it. Their seasoned fries are also tasty.

★★★★★

Good customer service and very clean restaurant. Ordered the beef donair in lavash bread. Great tasting meat and very generous portions. Will definitely go back to try the broasted chicken. Wish they had options of 2 pieces. The minimum I saw was 5 pieces. Highly recommended halal spot.

The food was okay but not exceptional. I tried the original Al Baik chicken in Saudi Arabia and compare with the original it's nothing. But the quality of the food was good. Like the Cajun fries and chicken soup!! They should control the temperature in the restaurant.

Great spot @ VP & Lawrence. Was on a little bit of Shawarma binge this night and this fit the criteria perfectly. We went from Iraqi style Shawarma to Turkish style shawarma. Customer service was great, the chicken doner was great as well. Very impressed with how long it was grilled, added the extra crunch. Chicken was tasty and tender. Will definitely be back for the Al- Baik style chicken as I’ve heard great things about it from the YouTube videos I’ve watched!

Drove all the way from Mississauga and Ordered the chicken sandwich and 10 PC magic wings (spicy). The chicken sandwich even though was well made and good sizeable portion but the bread itself tasted kind of soggy and wasn’t fresh. Other than that the magic wings were perfectly spiced and fresh. Their Garlic sauce was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. Maybe will visit again and try some of the Turkish dishes they have as they looked very appetizing.

I'm extremely glad we drove all the way to try this restaurant. It was an awesome experience. The service, the food the prices all phenomenal ! Mr. Ali the owner ensure that his guests are fully taken care of and made our day with the beautifully fried Al Baik style chicken. It was really nostalgic to try their fried chicken served in the buckets with Garlic bread and Crinckle Fries. Would difinitely recommend this place.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Magic Chicken Restaurant where I ordered the beef shawarma. The dish was exquisite. The beef was incredibly flavorful and fresh, wrapped in bread that was freshly baked to perfection. The homemade-style fries, seasoned with a delightful spice blend, were a perfect complement to the meal. The restaurant was impeccably clean, and the service was excellent. The staff were attentive and courteous, I highly recommend Magic Chicken Restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious and well-prepared meal.

We went for a lunch here and we were not disappointed. We got beef and chicken shawarma on a plate, there was generous portion of both beef and chicken, it comes in rice and salad. Beef and chicken were tasty and tender, it s not dry at all, we will be coming back with our son next time. Kudos to our server who was very kind to give us hot teas!

Visited this place since we were craving some chicken broast that was similar to Al Baik. I have spent most of my life having the real deal. I do believe it is slightly over rated compared to other local spots in Saudi Arabia, but it is still pretty good. Now for this place. I didn t go in with very high expectations but I did have an open mind. I really wanted to like it. Sadly, the taste and texture was no where near what it is advertised to be. If they stop advertising it as Al Baik Style chicken, I probably would have given it 3 stars for the spicy broast and 4 stars for the regular chicken. The fries were slightly above average. Garlic sauce was definitely close to what it should be but maybe add sauces to the menu so that one can purchase as many as we need. For 4 pieces of chicken, only one garlic is provided on average. We had to keep asking for more and I just felt bad about asking for more constantly. Definitely not worth the hour long drive I made each way for this.

We came as a large group and were served very quickly with very minimal wait. We tried the spicy fried chicken with fries and I can honestly say that this was the tastiest fried chicken we ve had in the longest time!

Wonderful and honest family business. We got fried chicken which was freshly fried on the spot. Worth waiting for the freshness. Chicken pieces were injected with spicy sauce (spicy chicken), and actually had a spicy kick, whereas other places its burnt bitter spice. Compared to your mainstream Popeyes and Churchs, this tops all. Hope they keep the quality up and stay competitive. Dietary restrictions: They serve halal chicken. Parking: Located in a small plaza has ample parking space

Delicious fried chicken that actually has a kick of spice! I would recommend injecting the spices into the chicken (like Al-baik) as opposed to marinating the coating with spices. Overall, a very good experience!

Definitely not your typical fried chicken joint. The broast chicken definitely did have a hint of Al Baik flavour, so did their garlic sauce but both were amazing! They make everything fresh so wait time may be a little longer but it s worth it!

So guys, finally tried this place and it was a total disappointment. Firstly, the price of the 8pc and 10pc chicken was the same. We even clarified to make sure and they confirmed that was the case. Then they said the order will take 25 mins but took 40 mins instead. 10 pcs chicken broast was accompanied by regular sized fries that you will get at McDonald s. We complained about the quantity of the fries but they did nothing. Also we were given just 1 garlic sauce and 1 hot sauce. Any additional sauces were to be paid for. How does one get that much sauce with 10pcs of chicken? Also there was no bread or coleslaw given. The chicken was hot and crispy but nowhere near Al Baik style. First and last time to try this.

This was not well done! Commend them for trying but albaik standard is there for a reason and this wasn t it! The chicken was a little over cooked! The top level skin was extremely hard to bite into. Once you do bite into it, the injected sauce (which is basically just hot sauce) is clumped and not appetizing. My recommendation would be to turn down the fryer temp and turn up the cooking time to allow the injection to cook thoroughly. The place itself is small with only a handful of tables and one standing table! The lady behind the counter was very friendly and welcoming! The food is reasonable priced and not completely over the top! If they re trying to copy albaik this ain t it and there s definitely better broast available out there!

I recently visited here and ordered the 40 spicy wings with a combo. I have to say, the service was excellent. The staff was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. They went out of their way to make sure that my group and I were taken care of and even stayed open a little longer than usual to accommodate us as we continued to enjoy our meal. I was really impressed with their dedication to providing a great customer experience. As for the food, I found the chicken to be tender and fresh, but I was a little disappointed that the spice level wasnt as high as I had hoped. While the spices added some flavor, they werent as fiery as I was expecting. Nonetheless, the wings were still tasty and satisfying, with just the right amount of crispiness to make for a satisfying meal. All in all, I would recommend this place for a good wing experience with great service.

December 23, 2023

We went there to try the Albaik style chicken, but it wasnt that taste at all ! More than that the chicken pieces were so greasy. Moreover, we ordered half the order with spicy sauce. But we were shocked that the spicy sauce is just a hot sauce injected inside the chicken piece. So when you do a bite into it, you reach it. And its taste was not appetizing at all... The place itself is small with couple of small tables and one standing table. You have to wait some time to get seated. We faced an issue that our order took so long. And when I went to ask them about it, I was surprised that they prepared only spicy pieces while I asked to have half the order non-spicy... So we waited again to have our order served. The positive point that they offered us tenders free of charge for the kids as they were starving.. The conclusion, or what I noticed, most of the people who came to the restaurant they order the Turkish doner. So may be they are specialized in that type of food more..

We ordered the fired chicken albaik style and it was amazing. The sauce in the chicken was spicy but not that would burn your pallets. It has a nice zing which made the mark. We ordered the beef donut and the portion was good. The major highlight was the chicken and the portion. The chicken was fully cooked and no blood. The staff is extremely polite. We were given complementary corn as well. It may seem pricey but the food taste and portion justifies. I am definitively coming back woth a much bigger crowd. 5 stars all the way.

My family and I used to live in Saudi Arabia for a few years, so it was nice to find al-baik style fried chicken here in the GTA too.. We were curious to try some so we went with the al baik spicy leg and thigh combo, and we were all happy to have that familiar taste back. They also have different types of Turkish dishes, like Iskandar and doner. The staff were really friendly and offered us complimentary tea and corn as my children and I waited for our order to be ready. I would suggest take out over dine in, as the space is quite limited, but they still make it work. Thank you Musab and Ashana for the exceptional service, we will definitely be coming here again :)

Came from Mississauga as we heard good reviews about this place. Bought tenders and chicken from them and have to say that the service and food is great! The owners make the chicken fresh when you order and gave really nice sized pieces for both the chicken and tenders. Provided us Turkish tea as well while we waited for our food to be cooked which showed their amazing hospitality towards customers.

Super crispy and well seasoned fries. Shawarma is tasty and not dry. Guy at the cash register is friendly. Reasonable price, worth every cent

Ordered the 5 price spicy leg and thigh. Chicken was crispy and delicious. Usually when a restaurant says spicy I dont find the food to be that spicy but this was nice!

December 23, 2023

I ordered 3pcs chicken combo for takeout by phone. Took my order home only to be welcomed with a bleeding chicken thigh not only could this cause severe food poisoning Its very very unsanitary especially with a meat like chicken were mistakes like this could be devastating. This incident alone made me not eat chicken for a month.There are better fried chicken spots around town but this restaurant is a big no no for me.

Its my go to place for crispy chicken. 1000 times better than what restaurants in GTA are serving as crispy chicken! It was crispy, hot, juicy and injected with red marinade. Loved it! Best chicken pieces in gta! And 5 pieces for 15$ is really good! Food

One of juiciest and most crispy fried chicken we ever have (not just in GTA, even can compete with the famous Japanese/Korean ones we tried overseas). Their homemade rice pudding and salted yoghurt drink is a Must-try as well! Food

Very clean and well-kept restaurant with excellent customer service. I found the Al Baik chicken a bit oily for my liking, but flavorful nonetheless. Never tried anything like it. Literally spiciness in the middle. Completely unique. Going to go for the Iskander next time. Dietary restrictions: Halal

In another city perhaps this would have been good halal fried chicken, but in Toronto it simply fails against all the other spectacular competition. Down below we ordered the following items: Onion Rings - this was the best item we ordered, but as far as onion rings go it was okay. Crispy, but the batter lacked any unique flavor. Fries- nothing remarkable about these fries. Lack of distinct flavor, but they did the job. Fried chicken pieces - no flavor in the chicken, and the batter somehow felt bland and flavourless as well. The texture of the batter was dry and felt like a separate entity from the rest of the chicken. Chicken sandwich - this was by far the biggest offender of the meal. Large amount of bread, lettuce, and tomato in this big sandwich, however the chicken piece inside was so small that you could rarely taste it between bites. Do yourself a favor and look around Toronto and Lawrence Ave for better fried chicken options.

They dont have the halal certificate. I ask them to show the certificate they arent able to show the certificate. Chicken is very oily and its not like the al-baik.

They inject some spicy sauce for al-baik-style chicken, which makes the taste worse. Another bad thing is that the chicken is frozen, which gives a terrible taste Food

Magic Chicken Al-Baik Style truly lives up to its name, enchanting taste buds with a burst of flavors! This is our 6th time ordering from them. It s usually take out. The fried chicken is a masterpiece perfectly seasoned, tender, and freshly cooked. Whats even more enchanting? Its budget-friendly, offering unbeatable value for your money. Plus, the freshness is undeniable you can taste the quality in every mouthwatering piece. Magic Chicken is more than worth it; its a culinary treasure! We will definitely order again. We usually call them in advance for our orders. Dietary restrictions: 100% halal

Food was not good. Fried Chicken Burger seemed like it was a home made burger, with ketchup and mayo, LOL! Fries also cold and not crispy - perhaps our luck on this. Al Baik Style Nuggets had no taste, just crispy coating. A lot more better places exist for fried chicken in and around the area. Service was good, the guy serving us was really nice.
