Shawarma Elsabil in Scarborough

Excellent service and best food

Cozy little shawarma spot. The owner is really friendly and quick with preparation. The prices are great, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. Out of all the shawarma establishments in the area, this one is the best!

Great tasting shawarma.

Amazing Chicken Shawarma!

Amazing spot for shawarma! One of the best shawarma spots in Toronto for sure. The owner is incredibly nice and offers some of the best customer service I ve experienced. He mentioned he s been in business for 28 years, so they re clearly doing a lot of things right! The shawarma was delicious, we ordered the chicken shawarma pita and chicken shawarma plate. Both had a ton of flavour and great portion sizes. Highly recommend coming here for both the food and service!

Have been coming here since I was a little girl. The best, most tastiest shawarma I ever had. The owners are so nice and customer service is 1000%. Want to eat an amazing shawarma then you gotta go to Shawarma Elsabil!

What real shawarma tastes like

The best shawarma and falafel we ever had. You should try their food!

So good the food

incredible little hole in the wall, outclasses any other shawarma spot in town

Best Shawarma Spot! Recommended by the owner s son over 10 years ago and never regretted. Told my family and cousins about Elsabil and they all love it! The food, atmosphere and service is 5 stars! Elsabil is a must!

Best shawarma ever served by a Friendly owner. Definitely will go back.

Best falafels in Scarborough! Clean and vegan! Good service! Imad cool guy and always friendly!

Ms. Manal, customer service, deals with customers with kindness and cooperation. She is truly the best choice. She deserves 100 stars, not 5 stars.

I realy liked the food specially the felafel it was amazing They were so kind Definetly will try again Food : 5/5

Today I visited this place and there was a guy named Komalpreet Singh he served so great and he made the pizza so well and it was cooked all well. I just loved the way he attended us and gave us all the food and drinks so well. Definitely going to visit this place soon and recommend everyone to visit this place.

I ve been coming to El-sabil shawarma for over 14 years, and it s still my absolute favorite! The quality has never wavered. Whether its a shawarma wrap, plate or burgers, every bite is a burst of freshness. All the items are very delicious. Imaad the owner is super friendly and makes you feel welcomed. I wish I could give more than 5 stars to El-Sabil. If you re craving authentic, delicious shawarma, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

A very popular place for Mediterranean cuisine

Amazing test shawarma Wooooow

Best Shawarma in Toronto! I ve tried some of the best rated shawarma places in Toronto and I would confidently say this is better. The owner is a gem, definitely goes the extra mile. I will be back.

Delicious

BBQ burger and Chicken Shawarma always hits

No frills delicious shawarma at reasonable prices. If you want something balanced, healthy, and tasty from a business owner with 27+ years of experience who cares about the food he serves, this is the place to go.

I have visited to this shawarma place for the first time today, had a chicken shawarma it was amazing. Chicken was delicious with veggies and pita. I have bought another two wraps immediately for my daughters. The owner who made the shawarma was very friendly and his behaviour made my mind to visit again, very friendly guy. I will go again soon.

Great place if you want to eat good and light on your pockets.

This is the best and most delicious shawarma I have ever eaten

Good sharwama! Food may not be 5 star, but the owners warmth and hospitality towards his customers is definitely a 5 star!

Great food!

Best place ever, I ve been coming here over 15 years. The owner is very friendly and professional. No matter where I move , I only get my shawarma from this place. I do not eat any Mediterranean food anywhere else. The food is cut fresh daily and you could taste the freshness. Once they make your food once, they knows exactly how you like it and will always make it that exact same way. The customers in here are always very friendly, and I meet somone new each time I come here. The owner helped me by letting me keep my business cards at the front even without hesitation and gave me so many good business advice. The friends I bring here always come back often on their own too. I think it s a mix of the great food, the very helpful professional approach and the overall vibe of the place. Keep rocking Shawarma Elsabil!

Years of experience in taste and food quality made this family owned business not just survived but thrives in the neighbourhood.

Great shawarma and nice owner

one of the best

Fantastic! Love it.

I have tried a couple of items here like chicken shawarma on pita, shish taouk on pita, and beef shawarma on pita and all of them just hit the spot. They are really good and I just keep on going on this place weekly. Owner is also welcoming and remembers my order from the previous week.

I have been going to this place since 2001 I I personally think its the best shawarma in the city. The meat and vegetables are always fresh ..Im currently eating a chicken shawarma right now

Best shawarma in Scarborough don t miss out.

One of the best shawarmas Ive had in years. Cant rate this place highly enough.

The best Shawarma in Scarborough

Excellent shawarmas been coming here for the past 15 years. Deff recommend Food

I decided to give this place a chance because of their good reviews. However, I was surprised and disappointed when I bought a chicken shawarma plate. The chicken lacked flavour and the portion was little, much salad when it should be more potatoes. The quantity of sauce was little too and the garlic sauce tasted more like oil than garlic. Im not sure if they were having a bad day or if they didnt marinate the chicken properly, but my expectations were high based on the reviews. Unfortunately, my experience did not live up to them.

Absolutely love this place. Best Shawarma in town. Highly recommend.

Mashallahh I had wonderful shawarma this morning. The brother who was the owner of the place was wonderful person. Felt the culture in its taste. Please go and have some shawarma there.

Heard great reviews and wanted to check it out. The owner is super friendly and amazing, but thought the chicken shawarma sandwich and plate were just okay. The chicken could have used a bit more flavour and the rice had no flavour and tastes a bit stale.

Amazing shawarma spot been going here since a kid best in the city

Amazing food. Top rated SHAWARMA Scarborough s finest!!!

Been coming here for years and have always loved and food and service Mixed shawarma combo for the win Food

Best in Scarborough, nay Toronto hands-down. Been frequenting this business for as long as I can remember, food is always amazing and the staff are beyond incredible. Will come here until I can t no more!

Owner is super nice, very helpful and friendly.

Amazingly friendly owner, and the service was great unfortunately I went there for the food and expected higher due to the reviews. 3 of the family members had their dress drips of oil?? as it stared to leak/pour out of the sandwich. Beef completely lacked flavour and the sandwich tasted like watered down shawarma. We ate it cuz we were hungry.

Best shawarma in Scarborough. Prices are always right and so is the vibes. been coming here since I was a kid highly recommend. Very clean place. Utility

If youre a robot dont come to the store. Be interactive

Great people, great food. The shawarma is always the absolute best. Been coming here since my dad was bringing me here. 10/10 every single

Been coming here for more than 20 years. I am moving soon and will still travel for the best shawarma I have had.

Been going here since I was in highschool and despite all the extremely popular shawarma spots along Lawrence, this place will always be my #1 place for chicken shawarma. I specifically enjoy the pickled toppings here - balances out the savoury flavours of the garlic sauce and meat, it s honestly unbeatable.

Their taste like wow amezzzing shawarma

Been coming here for 10 plus years, and this place holds a special place in my heart. It was my first-ever shawarma, and no other spot has ever matched the taste, the inviting atmosphere, and the exceptional service provided here. Every visit feels like a treat, with flavors that are consistently amazing and the owners that makes you feel right at home. Since the first visit to now the food and the service has always been top notch and had never fallen short. This place is an absolute must-try in Toronto no doubt in my mind, hands down, the best local shawarma spot in the entire city. Whether youre a longtime resident or just visiting, dont miss out on this hidden gem.

My colleagues and I had the Shawarma plates for lunch and they were fantastic. Definitely one of the better Shawarma places I ve been to. The owner is also very friendly. Good portions and fantastic flavor. What more do you want? I would definitely come back when I m in the area.

Step into 30 years of culinary tradition at this Mom and Pops Shawarma joint, where every bite of their perfectly seasoned chicken tells a story. This isnt just any shawarma; its a unique masterpiece, lovingly hand seasoned and marinated by the owner himself. The secret? A blend of spices and passion that you wont find anywhere else. Plus, the warm, friendly atmosphere makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in. A true hidden gem!

The chicken shawarma was overcooked, didnt give the taste of a shawarma. Even the roast was overheated, it was burnt. It was hard as a rock to bite. Sadly, I had a stomach upset. The server was a nice guy!

Good good good

Amo, makes some of the best shawarma in Toronto, he knows my order by my voice as soon as I call. Everything is fresh! His attitude is always uplifting! May god bless him, his family and his business always! Salam Amo

Once a week for 20 years. Best food, great service and fair prices.

Chicken Shawarma tastes really good. Good sauces, good customer service. Only feedback is the chicken quantity is very less.

Best shawarma place!!

Very fresh

Love this place. Have been coming here for years. Amazing food and super friendly! :)

Delicious chicken with perfect light crisp, Unique in its style that I havent had at any other shawarma joint. Very underrated. if havent already its a must try. Food

Went to this location based on reviews compared to others. The owner served us and was very nice. Told him it was our first time there and gave us a sample of the falafels he uses. (Which was delicious). The food was good and filling. Would come back again.

This has got to be the best shawarma in town! I came here to get the shawarma and my husband gets the falafel always. He doesn t eat shawarma. But after trying the chicken here- he decided to get a shawarma plate! He couldn t resist the deliciousness! The food is SO good. And the business owner is the kindest person ever! He runs his business with complete simplicity and authenticity and really cares about serving the best food. This was our first visit here but Will definitely be back, regular customers!

The best chicken shawarma. Don t hesitate. Thanks Imad!

great food & owner was a super great guy.

I tried all shawarmas around this , big defense between. Elsabil is the best, and the owner is very kind and welcoming. Thank you so much Atmosphere : 5/5

One of the best in town. Another reason to travel to Scarborough

Amazing experience. Great food and great service. Owner is really really amazing. Caring and passionate about their business and it shows. One of the best shawarma I have had.

What a gem of a place this is!! Imad my man you made our day with your delicious shawarma and an even more delightful conversation!. If you are looking to taste real good shawarma avoid all the fancy places and just visit this one. Great taste, quantity and value for money deal. Will return for more someday till then keep making the same yummy food and be the same person you are. God bless

Great owner and great shawarma

Excellent shawarma, nice and hot! As requested, and only a 20min walk from the hospital, worth the walk, small shop but excellent food and service. Close to many other shops amenities.

Really really good Shawarma indeed!

Wallahi best shwarma ever I ve ever had!! Go to spot whenever I m in the area!

Amazing food and owner gives good convo!

Great owner, food is great!

Amazing quality shawarma. Loved the taste. The owner is a wonderful person. We had a great conversation and he went out of the way to make our experience wonderful.

Very friendly service and delicious shawarma. Highly recommend this place!

Best shawarma in the area, with very friendly and professional staff

The falafels were fresh made and perfectly cooked. The texture was amazing. The garlic, hummus and tahini were simple and delicious. All the other ingredients were fresh. Normally I really enjoy the Pickled turnip, this had been subbed for Pickled cabbage. It was actually a delightfully tasty surprise. Hubby enjoyed his chicken shawarma.

Delicious shawarma!

Ordered two Shish Taouk on Pita, along with other dishes. The chicken was burnt. We had +7 dishes we couldnt eat. Reflects poorly on the quality of the food and attention to details when servicing customers.

One of the first tasty legitimate shawarma places Ive tried in Toronto which unfortunately has many shawarma options. Friendly owner as well. Will be coming back.

delicious falafel made fresh. friendly owner that cares.

I am so happy finally find the best shawarma place. I took chicken shawarma and it was so yummy. Really fantastic taste. Good guy with good life advices:)

Been here, Still here, Still Coming.

It was my first and last visit to this shawarma place. They charged me 19 dollars for the stale rice with stale chicken. I ask him to give chilli sauce instead he just gave me oil which looked red but not spicy. My daughter started vomiting after eating the shawarma chicken. Worst experience.

Best shawarma in scarborough

Very friendly people

A very neat and hospitable place. The owner is as kind and fair as ever. Their chicken shawarma is always a go-to but will be looking forward to their grilled burger next time. Cheers :)

Best Shawarma I have possibly ever had and Im a chef myself. Honestly way too good. The owner was super nice and hospitable too

It was so good if you re looking for some good and cheap shawarma In Scarborough go to el-sabil it s halal and they too much types of food burgers, fries, shawarma, shawarma plates juices and drinks

Best shawarma in Scarborough for over a decade!

Very friendly owner! Amazing food !

I USED TO EAT HERE WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL AND I JUST CAME BACK AFTER 20 YEARS FOR A CHICKEN SHAWARMA AND IT TASTES BETTER THAN I REMEMBER! HABIBI IS A LEGEND AND A GREAT MAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING HERE IF YOU WANT FRESH FOOD AND AMAZING SERVICE

Owner makes the freshest and tastiest halal chicken shawarma and beef burgers in the whole city! Portion size is a great size and all ingredients are full of flavour. Amazing customer service! Definitely my go to spot! Highly Recommend to anyone who is hungry!

Great tasting Shwarma, pomegranate molasses a nice touch and just easy great tasting and quick nothing fancy, good eats

Owner and the food is amazing. New favourite spot!

Tastless food had chicken shawarma plate for $16.80 Had bad smell in the chicken Not going back here again Food : 1/5

Excellent food. Ordered the shawarma plate and falafel plate

Ordered the Shawarma Plate on Fries. So delicious! They make their own Shawarma, they have been there for 27 years, and they are such lovely people who can hold a lovely conversation.

Best shawarma in my opinion!!!

The food was phenomenal! And the owner is incredibly friendly. Falafel is made fresh; soft on the inside but crispy on the outside and bursting with flavour! Its a large size and is only 9 dollars. The owner gave us free water and was very friendly as well. Definitely reccomend!

Great halal food and the staff is very friendly. The restaurant doesn t really have a dine in area but still definitely worth a visit.

Imad served me and was the friendliest guy i ve ever met in a shawarma shop. shawarma was just amazing as well. high recommendation

Food was amazing been going here before I was born 5 stars

Owner is very kind. The shawarma is very tasty. The best thing that I like is that the owner cleaned the knife as the order before me was beef. He realized that I was a Hindu and went inside to cleaned the knife

The most delicious shawarma in the area, fresh ingredients, and the great service

The best shawarma ever, coming back for 10 years Dietary restrictions: Halal food Recommended dishes Beef Shawarma on Pita, Family Combo, Chicken Shawarma Sandwich with Fries

Best shawarmas in the city - 20 years and counting!

Small restaurant with nice friendly owner. Chicken Shawarma wrap tasted good and fresh. Surely would like to go back for a bite when Im back in that area. Food : 5/5

The best

Owner is humble and generous. Shawrama plate is amazing

Best shawarma place in Scarborough, would definitely recommend. Amazing service and great food.

Amazinggg chicken shawarma. Authentic garlic sauce and the chicken was seasoned really well

Excellent shawarma. Owner took the time to take care of us and gave us suggestions.

Decent place. Got the pita shawarma. The meat was well grilled but wasn t that seasoned. The whole pita was too lemony, needed salt pepper cinnamon . I didn t taste that at all.

Best shawarma ever. Great service

25 years of experience!

This is one of my favourite shawarma places! The food is always delicious! And the garlic sauce and pickled cabbage is my favourite! I always ask for extra and the owner is always so generous in adding it in at no cost. Try it out! You wont regret it!

Shawarmas were really tasty. It was nicely wrapped and sustainable.

Beautiful experience! Owner is simply a great man doing great work. As he said, 24 years in business for a reason! And I wish them 24 more years (at least). Please come and try.

Owner is very friendly. I love their food and since it s near a high-school, many teens love to eat their fries. One of the best so far. Would recommend

This place is amazing! I just bought a shawarma wrap from here- it is probably the best I have had! The owner was extremely friendly and I will definitely be back!

They are using a non-stick pan that was sawed in half to scoop the chicken. Problem is, teflon pans (non-stick) releases toxic chemicals into your food when it becomes scraped and damaged. Please invest in proper stainless steel utensils, this is very bad for peoples health.

Very nice proprietor, and awesome food. The chicken was some of the best shawarma Ive had in the area. Well worth the visit. Place is tiny, so expect to do take out.

Owner was very pleasant and the food was delicious and plenty of it Definitely will come back again. Food

Sorry to burst your bubble but the owners here have anger issues with kids. This review reflects back to a year ago as I did not have time. I was in the car and sent my son to get a shwarma so I could watch my other kids. They told my son to leave and not come back because they didnt understand what he was ordering. This is absolutely garbage behaviour and absolutely will not be buying from a place that doesnt practice good behaviour with children. There is Amazing Shwarma place just across beside FreshCo. You will have much better services there and amazing food

Very kind owner, food tastes awesome

Very good food.. owner is a nice man.. good portions.

Delicious food and welcoming service. Loved it for our first visit!! Definitely coming back if we re in the area.

Imad (I believe that s the owner s name) is super friendly. He chatted us up while he cooked our falafels and gave my daughter a few samples to help her decide what she wanted to eat. We all chose falafels in the end, and they were very tasty. Next time we re in the area, we ll be back for sure. I think I d like to try the chicken shawarma. Thank you!!

Humble customer service.very kind.masha Allah...May Allah bless him for the best of best.

Very good shawarma at a good price, the owner is a good person and gave me water

Best shawarma in Scarborough friendly service good vibe. hot sauce

It is the perfect place to grab a real shawarma. Haven t gotten to taste such chunky shawarma in a while. My taste buds are happy.

Real Halal food,delecious and tasty

The food was really nice

First time trying shawarma. This is a really good option to enjoy a delicious meal

The best shawarma, especially in a wrap. Great service.

Good food. Good prices. Great customer service.

Deserves a chance.

Amazing shawarma. Best in the city. Friendly & Caring owner!!

My experience is not good. I got chicken shawarma wrap and chicken is cold and chewy.

Delicious food and outstanding service.

I give you 4 stars because it needs a little more attention in terms of cleaning. We are in pandemic and the Middle Eastern brother who is a wonderful person he was not wearing gloves, he did washed his hands in front of me yet, I didn t like skin touch food. Protection against germs shall be everyone s responsibility and priority. Other than that please do go with your families friends and loved one s, the price reasonable and the Neighborhood is lovely. If you are a Muslim it is perfect place for you since the Jam e Abu Bakr Siddique 2665 is just across the street. And yes to the owner of the restaurant, thank you for giving me free cold water, it was truly generous of you.

Very friendly brothers , tasty food, the owner very helpful if u couldn t pay the full amount

Great place!

The food is fresh and made with care. We had shawarma and hummus and both were fantastic. You must come and eat here!

Established for over 25 years and a family owned business with delicious food and staff that really cares. If you want good Shawarma this is the place!

ive been going here for 2 years, all i gotta say is, sabil you are amazing man

I got there pretty late and wanted the shish kafta but was sold out. I ended up getting the chicken shawarma on a pita instead. Meat was well seasoned and juicy, had all the fix in s. Everything was fresh and delicious. Can t wait to go back and try more things!

Good shawarma and even better hospitality and customer service! Imad has been running the place for 26 years and he makes you feel at home. The chicken shawarma was really good! Dietary restrictions: Halal

Solid shawarma , fair price, friendly staff

This place has the best shawarma in the city, the quality, craftsmanship and especially the TASTE are the best in the city

Got the chicken with rice. Food very average, not worth the $18.

Worth to try

Amazing quantity and great service. Imad brother was very nice.

Incredible!

Best shawarma & service in Scarborough! Been going for years & it s never disappointed me.

Most authentic shawarma in the GTA +incredibly friendly owner

I have been coming here for years. The food consistency is A+. I highly recommend. Great owner and service!

Amazing service! Food was great!! Bought a chicken and beef shawarma, it was too good we went back to get another one right away!

Outstanding service and delicious food I love the shawarma from this place and the owner is very good person.

Best fresh food made in front of you

Shawarma was good, kinda healthy too. Service was fast, and the guy is friendly too can have a good chat while the food gets ready.

I rate shawarma places mainly based on their garlic sauce. This place definitely has the correct garlic paste (not just mayo/garlic or some random garlic sauce)! And their chicken shawarma was nice, juicy, yet crispy. Highly recommend. Great food and great owner!

First time at Shawarma Elsabil today and I give it 5 stars. Great mixed (chicken and beef) shawarma and friendly atmosphere.

Loved interacting with the owner, he was super friendly. The Shawrma was super amazing as well. Go for it!!

Great shwarama worth travelling to! I came one day in the summer and it was close to closing and the boss said come back another day and that hes been there for 20+ years its worth it. Today was the day I went back, overall it did hit the spot, I had the chicken plate and it was very large in portion. Their garlic sauce and hummus worked well, I did find the hot sauce lacked a bit of kick. Would recommend if in the area for overall great shwarama!

I am highly disappointed. This place used to have the best shawarmas and I used to come here for 6-8 years, now they have gone down the drain. I recently visited El Sabil shawarma shop, and I must say I was quite disappointed with the experience. The shawarma, which used to be good and fresh, was cold and stale even though I ordered them 5 minutes before coming in. Even the ingredients didnt taste as fresh as they once did. What made matters worse was the high cost $10 for a shawarma and $5 for fries that were so dry and stale they had to be thrown out . I couldn t even eat them. Its no surprise that the shop seems to have lost business. I hope they can address these issues and improve the quality of their food to regain their former reputation. If you want to increased prices to fit in with inflation, at least up the quality of the food. Will not be coming back.

Good

This is the best shawarma Ive ever had. Thats why Ive been coming here since high-school. The people Ive known forever and Im always gonna keep coming back. Cant recommend this place enough. A true diamond in the ruff

Best shawarma in town

One of the best shawarma plates I have had in so long!! So nice, highly recommend!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shawarma Elsabil and I must say, it was an absolutely amazing experience! The food here is hands down the best shawarma I have ever had. Each bite was bursting with incredible flavors that left me craving more. Not only that, but the owner was incredibly kind and went out of his way to make sure we had a fantastic meal. I cannot recommend Shawarma Elsabil enough - it truly exceeded all my expectations!

Best in town
