2067 Lawrence Ave E, Scarborough, ON M1R 2Z4, Canada
Aldeewan Bakery at 2067 Lawrence Ave E is our SECOND LOCATION: "Bringing delicious Lebanese flavors to Scarborough and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) area. Toronto’s own Al'deewan Lebanese Bakery is an authentic open flame bakery specializing in manakeesh, flatbread style pizzas, and stuffed mini pie pastries. Al’deewan Lebanese Bakery imported their custom-built open flame oven from Lebanon to give real authenticity to their manakeesh dish. Be sure to come by 1415 Kennedy Rd #9 for our Wednesday $1.50 Za'atar (thyme) special! Locations: Ottawa, New-Market, Oshawa, Toronto & Scarborough
My go to place for manakeesh, service is also very nice. Atmosphere is okay, but the dine in area is a bit small so keep that in mind. Their daily specials are pretty good. Pricing is very reasonable and you get your value for money.
Tasty and fresh (ordered through Uber Eats/Skip).
*Great Food, But Missing Some Old Favorites* Al'deewan has always been one of my favorite spots for a quick bite. The flavors are fantastic, and the service is usually top-notch. However, I noticed a couple of changes recently that, in my opinion, could be reconsidered to enhance the dining experience. For one, the pickles that used to accompany rocket shawarma are no longer offered. Losing them feels like something is missing from an otherwise great plate. Similarly, the beef rocket bread, which I’ve always loved for its unique touch of black sesame seeds, now feels a bit plain with it being replaced with white. That said, the food is still delicious, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. But they say they have added pickles but I never see them added. I’m hoping these changes are temporary because small details like these made the experience truly special. I’ll definitely keep coming back but would love to see these favorites return with the order!
Please like and follow. Visited Al'deewan at a whim. Our surprise was big. The lady at the counter welcomed us with a smile that set up the tone for this experience. She was attentive, accommodating, and patient with us. We finally made up our minds A selection of different tasting baked food some to take home and others to consume in the restaurant of the bakery. Everything git prepared on the spot (on order) Quite impressive. BTW their menue is large and diversified for vegetarian and carnivores. Another impressive thing they have. The decore of the battery is very welcoming and happy, a mix from a traditional lebanese bakery and a current modern cafe. The food; lahmet aajen, and the cheese sandwishe tasted awesome and delicious. The dough crust was thin, which enhanced the taste of the cheese and meat I highly recommend this place.
unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. Firstly, the customer service was lacking. The staff member assisting me did not display a welcoming demeanor, which made the interaction uncomfortable. Additionally, there seemed to be a lack of respect toward the customer, which is crucial for any business. Moreover, I noticed serious cleanliness issues. The environment, particularly the garage, was not well-maintained. What concerned me most was the handling of food. I observed a staff member wiping their face and then touching food without changing gloves. This same glove was used for multiple tasks, including handling food and other items, without proper sanitation. These issues raise concerns about hygiene and overall service quality. I hope the management takes these points seriously and makes the necessary improvements to ensure a better experience for future customers.
It is as fresh as it gets! All made to order and as you wait. Great service, limited seating. Plenty of choices for food and beveragea. Staff are really hospitable and friendly. Open 24 hours. Halal! Convenient location.
From Mohammed to al deewan bake. I like al deewan food. Food in al deewan is very good amazing yummy. Before I love to eat shawarma but when I try to eat at al deewan I don't like shawarma anymore I like al deewan more. What I like about deewan is has a amazing service people. They are very nice. They all know me they are good for service I always order the mix cheese is amazing. Thanks deewan bake
I have been going there many times, everything is perfect, food was so tasty ,price normal, The place is clean and the service is very good
We ordered through uber eats, unluckily they were not fresh at all very cold and were not worthy of the very high price - not recommended at all. They are supposed to give a good idea about charity at work.
Hello, I have previously gave Aldeewan a 5 star review as it deserved it for the quality of food which was good. But i was SHOCKED to see a $3 dollars increase within a span of week on your AKAWI CHEESE pie it went from $6.50 to $9.50 and that is way over priced given that $6.50 and less is the average price of manakesh pie all over the GTA. I can understand the $1 increase in your beef shawarma and your chicken shawarma that went from $8 dollars to $9 dollars along with your other manakesh pies, but this $3 dollars price jump would unfortunately make me and others think twice before purchasing in the future. This is a ridiculous as a price jump in this current economy! Because of this i will drop my 5 star review to 3 given that price is always a main factor for any google review reader. Thank you.
Food is really good, this is my savior for late night halal food. They are open when everyone is closed and their chicken Manakeesh is really nice. Vegetarian options: Veg options available Dietary restrictions: Halal
Well its a taste from home.
WASTE OF MONEY Ridiculous taste and customer service especially their Pizzas......DONT WASTE A SINGLE $ OVER HERE! Food : 1/5
Great little spot for a quick meal on a budget. Simple menus, friendly service and tasty food.
Fresh and Healthy Foods
Great customer service, fresh, delicious manakeesh! Definitely our fav spot. Highly recommend the spinach onion bun and mini hot dogs too!
I asked for the food to be put in a box, not a bag, so they added $1 for the price of a box
Good place and helpful staff. Their food is so good
Best manakeesh in Toronto, my favourite is zaatar and cheese
Vegetarian options: Cheese Manakeesh Food
Very polite staff, got the order prepped real quick and tasted absolutely delicious. Thank you guys for your excellent service.
Nice performance
The Rocket shawarma manaeesh wins ! Wow wow wow I loved it Food
Very delicious!
no complaints. Very good and tasty manakeesh
The taste and service are super good. Parking: Sometimes its hard to find a parking space.
The best pancakes I have ever eaten in Toronto
Small with a few tables, mostly takeout, but man, it is superb! Staff is super nice and friendly, food really is delish! Try every kind they have of Manakeesh! My current faves are the meat, Muhammara, and the Labneh with veggies. Ask for lemon juice and spice as an extra, wonderful! Have them with a mango orange juice.
Great customer service
Love it, the best bakery in the town
You goooood Dear Manakish, how are you?
The cashier and the workers and the atmosphere are perfect except the taste of the food is not satisfactory the dough is thin and dry and the size of the manakish is very small
So good
Love this place nice people and good food
Very delicious food and super clean And amazing customer service. The best world and the best manakish, and I ask God Almighty to bless you and increase you with its bounties Everything I order from Scarborough I have to buy from them The staff are classy, clean and understanding people. Greetings to you and your work
Parking: Parking seems adequate. The store is located adjacent to other stores and parking is common. Food
Best manaeesh I have ever tried. Very delicious and very consistent with their quality. Been a customer for years.
Amazing
Delicious cuisine at affordable prices
Kid-friendliness: Table space to sit down. Although there isn t a customer washroom available to wash our children s hands, let alone our own. Would like to see a customer hand wash station even. Food
Loved the mankeesh
Good Lebanese bakery slightly over priced.
I tried this place and even the cuisine for the first time and got to say it was heavenly. My godd, soo fresh and tasty. I dont know how to describe it. Def will try it in store. I dont usually give ratings, i mean who has time to do it, but the food literally forced me to do it. GREAT PLACE AND GREAT FOOD.
Authentic manakeesh- one of the few places with keshk manakeesh!! Ask for veggies on the side to have with your manakeesh
Best place for Manakeesh
Lovely place to have fresh Arabic bakery food. Highly recommended.
Top class food
Delicious and vintage style it was hard finding somewhere that makes it like my mom
Felt like i am home BEST MANAKEESH
A perfect place to grab a quick manak eesh. They have got several types of it and its very affordable. A quick grab or a perfect middle eastern meal. We had the chicken manak eesh, beef manak eesh and the zataar and cheese manak eesh. None of them disappointed us and i bet they wont disappoint you as well. The service is fast and the staff there are really helpful in suggesting what to take. I personally would visit here more often. Value for money. They re open late as well
The shawarma is amazing but I dont like the small manakeesh! The price is good 6 for $9 but the taste isnt delicious
On a weekend around 9 in the morning went with the family, ordered their freshly baked manak eesh, a mix with Zatir(Thyme) and cheese, what an adventure of smell, texture and flavour. Thank you Al Deewan for being open 24 hrs.
Best fast food in whole Canada, thanks guys!
The sesame bread is AMAZING but sadly not always available everyday. The honey croissant is also AMAZING but not always available.
Freshly baked goods and very decent price.
Interesting food. Will be back
Evertime I ordered mix shawarma.they gave me the rocket one and today I ordered they gave me the other one.the guy at reception arguing with me that you didn t said rocket one i said you didn t ask me which one I want.
i love the spinach and cheese manakeesh here
Find the drinks come from Lebanon Dietary restrictions: It is Halal food and drinks. Food : 5/5 |
Reasonable place with Reasonable prices. By far the best zatar manageesh Ive tasted so far
Ngl the food is very good, but we wanted to seat while eating and you guys are playing loud quran in the restaurant, we didn t feel comfortable eating inside while listening to loud quran no offence but we re not in mosque it s supposed to be a restaurant. We ended up eating in the car.
They are 24/7. Love it. Food, Service and price is good. I will visit them often for quick bite.
Had their Akawi cheese Manakish. It was very light and delicious. Very authentic and prices were reasonable. I ordered two Manakish and the total was $13. They have a vast variety of Manakish, pide, some mini pies and rockets. Its a must try place. The best part is it is open 24/7.
The food is good, but the prices are high The food is good, but the prices are high
Nice food
One of the best customer service from miss Khadija and staff
Delicious food, Great place, excellent customer service by Khadija & ZamZam. Food was served real quick. Food
Best Place for variety of manakeesh
Very good
I am used to go there almost every day; the pastries really delicious.
Exceptional service but Im not sure why the staff is always in a rush? Please let the manakeesh cook fully. The dough is arriving raw on doordash/uber. We love manakeesh and we love Aldeewan, this is our only issue.
Went there at midnight at right away skinny guy cashier is rude always in a hurry, not a welcoming vibe. Price are expensive plus food is not really good i rather spend my money somewhere else ! never coming back to this place
Price Atmosphere Employee Food quality Food : 1/5 |
Did a delivery order and when the food came the quality is really bad manakeesh are hard They cant even provide atleast a plastic bag or a good paper bag as soon as you received the food the thin paper is already soaked in oil. Food
This Lebanese bakery is as good as any in Ottawa or actually Lebanon! I highly recommend coming here for the vast variety and menu options of Lebanese meat pies.
Amazing and delicious bread! Definitely worth a return visit to try something else from the extensive and tempting menu!
Had a wonderful experience having great food. Would definitely recommend!
AMAZING PIZZA JUST WOW
Great manakeesh and foul!
The girl there is very polite and amazing service . Keep up the good work
Amazing food
Perfect place for someone who is looking for best manakeesh in town. Perfect breakfast o dinner options. Overall very clean place, maintaining hygiene and friendly staff.
amazing food loved the way they baked it and the richeness in cheese and chicken , i ordered their rocket shawarma , which gave the authentic arabic flavour which i was searching for, loved it its a must try budget friendly place
Open 24/7 for delicious snacks.
Best manakeesh ever
Best Manaeech in the GTA that I ve tried. Authentic Lebanese owned place for a great price. Definitely check it out
We brought our own toppings including spices, tomatoes, onions and mushrooms. It was around $8 for 4. Affordable and delicious
I recently discovered Manakesh Delight, and it has quickly become my go-to spot for a late-night snack. Open 24 hours. Its perfect for satisfying those midnight cravings. The manakesh here is outstanding, with a perfectly baked flatbread topped with a variety of delicious options like zaatar, cheese, and minced meat. Each bite is packed with authentic Lebanese flavors. The staff is friendly, and the service is always prompt, no matter the hour.
Best place for late night food open 24/7
We always order from this place. All pastries are in larg size, they have sooo mamy verities to pick from, and the deliver. We always get cheese, spenich and cheese, meat, and zatar.
I have been ordering from them on UberEats for long. Finally went in person and tried it fresh and hot. I must say the taste is awesome! It reminded me of Sultan Bakery in Abu Dhabi.
Bad quality of food. Falafel are hard like stones. High prices. Slow service. Not recommend at all.
Great food
Food is good. Availability is great 24/7 in Scarborough you could not ask for a better deal.
Freshly baked Manakeesh. They have a wide variety of offerings. They have day specials. I have tried various meat offerings. I
Great quality authentic food.
Always serve cold pastries
If you love Manakeesh this is the place for you. Fresh and flavourful. I would highly recommend. Food : 5/5
Amazing recipes
Have tried sujuk and other manakeesh. Really good food
Open 24 hrs best manakesh in town
DELICIOUS DELICIOUS DELICIOUS Fresh made to order. Many options to choose from. Friendly service. Open 24hrs Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options. Spinach, cheese, veg pizza, hummus Parking: Plenty of free parking for all stores in strip plaza
Excellent food.
We tried their cheese n gyro manakeesh, it was reallly good! Its thin but very favourful Food
Super slow and doesn t respond to anything
We tried almost all kind of Manakeesh and theyre really really good.
I loved the food and the restaurant, although it is simple, it has a good atmosphere
This is my second time I visit this location, I always go to the Kennedy branch. The food is good and the manakish delusions , the lady at the cashier is awesome. The only thing I don t like at this location they ask for tip, considering the high price tag I don t thing asking for tip in this location will help the business.
Great foods. So delicious
Love the concept and quick service!
Love it! My husband works evening shift and always loves the night time eats at al Deewan. One of the very few places opened late night.
We had the Fatayer assorted mixed Dozen and it was absolutely delicious
The perfect late night spot! Love going here when its super late & you just need a small bite, always freshly made and delicious.
Fayrooz atmosphere and a cup of tea with Manakeesh, what do you need more?
I have been coming to al deewan since they opened on keneddy and ellesmere. The lady who worked at the original location would always give us free tomatoes and cucumbers with our manaqeesh at the start. Since this new location opened it has gone down hill a bit. Long wait times and unorganized order management sometimes but thats all okay. Sadly the last time we visited 10 minutes after zaatar day ended (12:10am) we were told we cant get zaatars at the special because it was thursday now. I have come here at 4am and they have still honored the deal for me in the past and this is not what arabs are like. It s a shame because i have been coming here since zaatar day was $1, but after being denied i dont think I will be able to come back here. It s not about the money its about the experience of always coming anytime on wednesday and getting zaatars for the week from aldeewan and that being a family tradition, but being denied this time was very unlike the people who started this place at least and very unlike the culture and what you ll experience at any arab restaurant. It was a shock to be denied at 12:10am and being told sorry it s thursday and i wish it hadn t happened and it s not to save $5-10, it s because finding a manaqeesh place that maintains a homely feeling after getting big is hard to get.
One of the best places in the world for authentic Lebanese middle eastern food pastries. The best of the best!! The best! Nothing, no other place compares to how good this place is.
Food is half decent. Not the best. Have had better tasting manakeesh. Several times order not ready when text message says order ready for pickup. Same excuse. Printer jammed.
The food is very wonderful, but the behavior of the employee, I do not know her name, she works today, February 26, at 8:30 in the morning, at the cashier, was very insulting to me.
Food was bad, and I also have notes that the tips got stolen from the owner and they don t give it to the employees
Love the zaatar
Would Return. Love these kinds of bakeries, wish there was more around Toronto. Good value and easy fill, smaller sizes than the Lebanese bakery across the road. Zaartar - below average amount in my opinion. Im spoiled by the ones in Australia where its a thick and generous amount of zaartar on the bread and lots of olive oil. This one is rather dry and sparse, but still hits the spot. Takes AMEX.
Authentic tasting manakeesh
The food is very good. We have brought our kids here so many times, driven all the way from Mississauga (over 1hr drive). However, I brought my parents tonight. My dad needed warm water to be able to take his medication. The lady at the counter informed him that they sell water from the fridge. My dad told her he needed warm water though for his meds and if he could have a cup of tap water. Keep in mind, that we always pay over $100 every time we dine here, and we always buy beverages from the fridge. She flat out lied to his face that they do not have a tap. He asked her where they get water from to wash their hands. We could clearly see the tap in front of us. Anyway, she gave him 1/2 a cup of water from the tea machine and charged him $1. It s not about the money. With all the stuff happening around the world, this really saddened me. If there was a, God forbid, thirsty person outside their door, they wouldn t offer a drop of water. We will never be coming here again.
Both locations are amazing, the food for the price and variety is hard to beat. So many fresh options and pre-made options that are served hot. Service is quick and friendly
The best Middle Eastern manakish and it opens 24 hours. The dough is moist and the filling is so tasty. Practical for lunch. The pcheese, zatar, spinach, mini pizza and especially meat. Bought for a party and it was a hit. Food : 5/5
super chill vibe here, teams always smiling and super polite, place looks spotless every time, def a fav spot to hang out and relax
Authentic Levant taste , very quick at preparing the order , reasonable price , and most importantly, open for 24 hours .
Yummmmmmy
This place is overrated; there are numerous better options in the GTA. The food lacked flavor, and I wont be returning anytime soon.
First place to have open 24/7 fresh all the time baked in front of you and delicious manakesh What a place, and I like that it is not as heavy as the other places great food
fresh zaatar breads and bakery/pastries
We had the Friday 20$ special
You Guys Rock Customer service is amazing and excellent
We got mini savory pies. The taste was fine and standard for those pies, good but nothing special. But I found it to be expensive and probably wouldnt return.
Everything delicious
Super Clean place on a filthy restaurant street Lawrence. Kitchen cleanliness and staff uniform is clean and maintained. First time tried their menu. Ahmed and Nayeem were friendly and recommended items at 3.30am I just loved the service they provide. Food was yum too.. I hope they maintain their service and cleanliness. Definitely coming back..
I appreciate the owners foresight in running the place round the clock and serving high-quality food. The pies, particularly the mixed cheese, and, spinach and cheese pies, are incredibly delicious. When you order, they prepare it fresh on the spot, a must-try culinary experience. They offer a wide variety of pies to choose from, I highly recommend trying them. Additionally, they provide dine-in service with two large tables and free parking in front.
Great manakish we were there for the week end and this is a place to not miss if your a tourist in the area . The owner are very kind i recommend
