It's pretty good. Big sandwiches which are tasty and made the way you want. The thing is the guy was kind off putting. The place could be cleaner. Bit of a turn off but I didn't get food poisoning so that's always a plus!

The food was not bad. My sandwich was quite delicious and the sauces were right on point. Unfortunately the place had no atmosphere. Location was empty and and it was dead silent. I would return to be honest but I'll probably grab to go.

Positive/Good: Food tasted fresh (meat, bread and veggies). Reasonable price. Good amount of toppings. Menu is simple and easy to order. Improvement: Order takes a little bit long due to only one chef. But food is worth the wait. Keep up the good work!

Came by from a friend's recommendation and got their Tuesday special and ordered two steak sandwiches. Added north heat sauce with a little bit of buttermilk dill and I gotta say my tastebuds loved every bit of it! Great service, great food and it's got a great vibe inside the place, highly recommend!

I have been here twice last week and today, may 23 and every time i have been here has been great.the food is amazing and the man that serves gave my husband and i a deal the first time we went. And when we came today he gave us an extra water no charge. The staff were cleaning when we got there so the restaurant so clean. This is the first review that i dont have a negitive thing to say

Service was friendly and fast. Everything was clean. Overall great experience. Will definitely go back!

I tried both beef and chicken... its the most tasteless sandwich ever. I did not like it at all. I asked for onions, mushrooms, peppers and jalapeño. There were no jalapeño in the sandwich. I didn't even taste other veggies as well. I guess they were over cooked. I got two different sauces on it and still it didn't add any favours to the meat. Curly fries are just plain fries n not even cooked properly. Its over priced and tasteless food. Don't waste your money

The cheesesteak sandwiches were okay. I got mine with onions, peppers, jalapeños and mushrooms. Jalapeños were definitely missing. Other veggies were cooked way too much to notice that they were even in the sandwich THEY DONT CARRY MAYO! why not carry a such a simple dressing? Sauces we tried were hot sauce and honey mustard. (All on the side) Youd expect a cheesesteak sandwich to be really cheesey but the cheese was melted on to the bread instead of the meat Overall, i have had better sandwiches elsewhere.

Its ight, food was fresh, but man-ahz feel like they got robbed with that 5$ combo upgrade. Fries were mad stale ahz, just bring your own fries and drink still. Dont put the jerk sauce on still, kills the sandwich.

Finally a halal cheesesteak joint that delivers deliciousness. The steak is freshly cooked and the combinations of the different types of cheese and sauces blend perfectly to provide an experience to remember. Tip: do no take the hot sauce as it can overpower all the other flavors.

Went here on a Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 and this place was closed but lights and open sign were on. Called them no one answered. Also this place has no hours of operations in the window or on display. HIGHLY disappointed as this is a new place. Don t think I ll waste my time trying to come back to see if it s open or maybe it s not lol ?

This place is a joke. Just ate at their Lawrence St, Scarborough location tonight (Nov. 4th) and it was a brutal experience. Went in because I had a craving for a Philly Cheesesteak. I go in and there is a young guy behind the register and an older guy cooking. I tell the young guy I want a Philly Cheesesteak (PC) and he asks me what I want on it. I tell him to make it like a normal PC. We go back and forth on this a couple of times (obviously neither of them knew how to make a PC...I mean why would I expect them to know how to make the most famous Cheesesteak in North America ). Exasperated, I just tell them what I believe is on it. I place my order with onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, BBQ sauce and provolone cheese. I also order the curly fries and a drink (the picture on their menu was of the nice thick spicy curly variety of fries). First of all, when I got the food the fries were nothing like the picture. Instead, they serve shoestring, greasy, unflavored type of fries. They also put Monterey Jack cheese on my PC instead of the Provolone I clearly asked for and they didnt give me my drink. When I pointed that out, the young guy just told me to grab it myself (the fridge is located behind the cash register). The only reason why they got two stars is because the guys were both super-friendly, albeit completely incompetent and they didnt burn my food (sorry, I have to eye roll again ). I certainly will never return to this place and suggest everyone avoid it as well.

Do not go here. The customer service is terrible and the cashier/worker is very rude. Also they have some kind of lounge downstairs and some shady people come in and out of the place to access the basement. I dont know how halaal they can be with such a setting in the basement. Do not go... Or if you go at night time this was Saturday night you will see at I mean.
