It's a tiny place, not for hang out. But the food is awesome, delicious, out of this world...Shawarma lovers, and meat wrap lovers, just and grab your hot, and fresh order. I ate immediately so couldn't take pictures..next time for sure...do not wait for Ubdr Eat or Door Dash, the taste is in fresh food. Just vow! And value for money is a bonus deal.

The food was delicious. Anyone from out of province looking for a legit shawarma - this is your place. Reminded us of the quality we used to find in Ontario and have been sorely missing. Great portion sizes. Flavourful chicken and rice. We will be back.

Their shawarma was very tasty with a good amount of chicken 🐔 in it. The flat bread was great too. However, the only negative thing to say was that they need tip for everything. They pass their debit machine to us with the various tip options, starting at 15%. A fast food joint doesn't need a tip as we place our orders going to them. They don't come to us to take an order. They ain't serving us either as we sit.

I don’t like giving bad reviews, but I want to be honest. The chicken shawarma is not worth the price. I found the chicken only in the middle of the shawarma, with too much sauce and very little chicken. I would not recommend ordering from this restaurant.

Amazing fattoush salad. So fresh and delicious. Home made Baklava was eaten up by my daughter... hummus too...Small shop making delicious food. Can't wait to go back. Best Fatoush in town. Won't be small long. Yummy!

I ordered the fattoush and chicken shawarma wrap tonight on door dash, and everything was great. The salad was fresh, and the shawarma wrap was great. My boyfriend and I shared these and we feel so full and happy. I wonder where these guys get their produce. Because it's better than I can find in the stores.

The food is very fresh, very awesome, and you can taste an authentic Syrian shawarma from Damascus. The owner is also very friendly to have a chat with.

Went first week of opening, no terminal yet so cash or e-transfer for now! Had the chicken shawarma wrap, and it was delicious. The sauce on the side was a great added touch and added a nice flavour. Highly recommend!

We dropped in for a couple of chicken shawarma and glad we did. Food was great, little hole in the wall feel. Very much like the shawarma we had in Jordan a couple of years ago

have been ordering kebabs from this restaurant for the past 4 weeks, at first everything was good but with each order it seems that the portion is decreasing ... and today the portion size just reached absurd proportions ... this was my last time ordering there!

Stopped by for a falafel on a pita and a beef shawarma, both delicious. Loaded with pickles and served with a side of hummus and garlic sauce. So tasty! One thing to be prepared for is no debit (yet) so bring some cash or be ready to e-transfer. The folks there were friendly and the wraps were hot and ready fast. Will be back again.

I was very pleased to learn that the falafel, basbousa, and baklava are all vegan. The falafel wraps are GIGANTIC and the basbousa is DELICIOUS! Very good meal for a very fair price. The server was friendly as well. I will definitely be back!

1st day opening, super nice people. I was their 2nd customer! Soft opening, not even a sign up yet and only a few items on the menu as they get set up. I ordered the falafel ($9.50) which was huge and enough for 2 people. Falafel was authentic, full of fried chickpea patties, cucumber, tomatoes, pickled red onions and sauce. It was absolutely delicious! Only cash at present although they will be getting a payment terminal soon. Go there, youll love it!
