Me Va Me Express in Thornhill

The chicken skewers were perfect with making a pita sandwich and the addition of hummus, tahini and hariv.

We always stop at Me VA Me when we visit Toronto. We had the falafel on pita. It was very good as usual. You get to choose what you put in the pita pocket.

The pitas always fall apart while eating and that means low quality pita. They charge extra for basic stuff and honestly barely give you much meat in the sandwich. You can get more value from pitaland or some other Middle Eastern type of spot. This place used to be amazing but not anymore. Also over priced for the quantity they give you as a portion. Also not authentic Israeli cuisine anymore.

Always love it here. Prices are a bit much for some of the dishes. Great falafel and Shawarma.

Shawarma laffa is one of the best for me...

Food is good. But poor customer service - slow at taking orders. Lacking the express part of Me-Va-Me Express. Staff lacked energy. Manager incredibly rude to delivery drivers. Wont ever get any of my business.

While taste was ok, I am done being ripped off, BUYER BE WARNED. I just bought falafel in a pita, for $11 I got 3 tiny falafel balls & almost NONE of the salads I requested, it is insulting. I have pics but cant seem to attach them. My opinion just stay away, there is zero value in buying food from this organization. Total and utter disgrace.

Lafa is fantastic, beating anything at a standard shawarma shop. Toppings and sauces are great.... Ive been here a dozen times, and its perfect every time . Absolutely massive portion in lafa, too. Update Sept 29, 2024: This place is the best shawarma in the GTA. I was worried they would have shrunk their portions or lowered their quality over the past year like so many, but the opposite: it is even better. The laffa is baked on site, and the toppings are very fresh and more complex than at other shawarma restaurants. Absolutely perfect.

Small portions

Fresh, and tasty :)

I used to go to this place and recommend it to everyone but the prices are getting crazy and the meat portion is about half a palm full for 33$ its kinda crazy

The best shawarma I ate in Toronto.

I am very disappointed with the recent quality of your chicken shawarma. It should be served fresh from the grill, but what I received was old, dry, and had an unpleasant smell. Since opening another branch, the overall quality of your food has noticeably declined while prices have increased. Unfortunately, this experience has led me to decide not to return to any of your locations.

We have ordered 2 schnitzels and a piece of bread all were not fresh the schnitzels were reheat and bread was for last day!!!! I was not satisfied at all!!! Food

Scammers! I couldnt believe my eyes when I got my order. 10 pieces of beef in the picture and only 5 in the order! See my pictures.

I couldnt believe my eyes when I got my order. I ordered 2 skewers (10 pieces of beef as in the picture) and received only 5 pieces in my order! Seriously?

Shame! I like me va me never had an issue. Cause I never ordered the schnitzel in a pita. I finished 80 percent of the pita and still didnt get to the schnitzel . Finally I opened the pita and found 2 little chicken nuggets. Come on for $14 I get a pita with 2 nuggets. I can go to McDonalds and get a kids meal nuggets and Ill get more chicken. Food is good. Portion is a joke I have pictures to show

Use to be good. Not anymore.cince new management tool over, quality, quantity and service is way down.

One of the only places to get the fried eggplant dip now that its the chain allows each location to decide whats on their menu!

My recent order from Me Va Me, a restaurant Ive frequented as a loyal customer, has left me thoroughly disappointed. The babganoush, a dish Ive always enjoyed, turned out to be a shadow of its former self. the babganoush was horrible. And to be honest - the reason i kept going back. Not sure why the change the recipe but it is inedible and i through out the babganoush.

TERRIBLE PORTION SIZE for the price. What a rip off

Had a good experience with this restaurant. Made about 15 orders together at once and requested delivery for a work party. They got every order correctly with each persons name on the paper wrap of the foo, and delivered in a punctual manner. Thank you & would order again.

The only good Me Va Me

Tasty fiid, efficient service. A wee bit pricey.

Used to love this place. Went in the other day for a falafel sandwich and they only give 3 falafel balls, but the toppings are still great.

The staff were attentive and courteous, providing excellent service. As for the food, it was simply outstanding.

Thanks for the half burned shawarma

I have had their falafels many times in the past and they were amazing. I was so excited to visit recently when I was nearby. The falafel was terrible. I was so disappointed, it had barely any falafel and the flavours were severely lacking. Very sad and I dont think Ill be visiting that establishment again, hopefully thats not the case with the other locations but, now Im hesitant to spend $15 to find out and possibly be very disappointed again.

The portions are great and the food is tasty

Terrible customer service. Unwilling to help, unwilling to understand. Putting an effort to be unhelpful & rude. Great food overall. This review is regarding the managing lady working behind the Express counter, is very rude. Very unprofessional. I wouldn t recommend visiting here because of her. Terrible customer service. Owners of Me Va Me, I would reconsider who is managing the counter at the Me Va Me Express. Unprofessional behaviour, she is losing business, to Me Va Me

Decent food, fair prices, nice portions. Definetly not the best, but not the worst either. Food

We ordered 6 sandwiches (4 falafel and 2 chicken shish and their food was extremely delicious. Great food and lady was helpful. Keep up the wonderful service

Good falafel. But be careful you do t get the wrong sauce. Taking and the other white sauce got mixed up. Vegetarian options: Falafel.

I am a big fan of Mevame but on my last order, the chicken was extremely dry and too burned. I called the store to complain about this issue. They said they will replace it but when I came back. The person that I spoke to said rude things to me. He doesn t have good costumer service skills. I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied..

Pita and Laffa sandwiches are amaZing, if you have time wait for the chicken breast or schnitzel. If not, the shawarma also hits the spot when youre in a hurry! Be sure to get some baba ganoush and red eggplant in there

Received the most atrocious portions. I called to bring this to their attention but all I got was a manager that was unwilling to listen, very persistent in telling me that it s the way it is and that s that. Very very unprofessional to be a manager of a restaurant. Fix your portion sizes and get a new manager. 0 stars if that was an option. Please do not waste your time and money at this location.

Food is fantastic and tastes great. Portions are generous. Food preparation is very slow because everything is made to order, but worth the wait. Love the chicken on a pita. Avoid the soups, very salty and portions are grossly small and not worth the price.

Best service best shawarma in the city! Love this place, been coming for years, highly recommended!

How the hell can you not have shwarma available on a Saturday night???

Best Shawarma in town.

Awesome Israeli food. This place never disappoints. Best hummus in the city.

I called in advance 20min... showed up. Waited another 15min for the guy to put shwarma on the PITA... Workers reminded him 3 times to do it Whats the point of calling early if they still cant do a basic task of putting shwarma on a wrap .. Its not like they have customers or a big line up. No wonder this place has no customers

You get the smallest portions. Last time I ordered they were alot bigger this time it wasnt enough to fill us up. 68 dollars for an order and 3 of us are still hungry never again.

My favourite place, so tasty chicken shawarma!!!

I used to be a loyal customer at Me Va Me Express in North York, enjoying both the delicious food and excellent customer service. However, my recent visit left me disappointed and unwilling to return. I ordered a schnitzel sandwich, hoping for the same quality I had experienced in the past. To my surprise, the sandwich came with chicken strips instead of the expected schnitzel cut. When I inquired about it, the person handling my order not only raised their voice at me but also invited me forward to show me the schnitzels, all with a disrespectful tone. This encounter was not only unpleasant but also showcased a lack of understanding of Canadian culture and customer service standards. The offensive behavior of the staff member left a lasting negative impression on my overall experience. Moreover, the limited variety of fresh ingredients for the sandwich added to my dissatisfaction with the food quality. I sincerely hope that Me Va Me management pays closer attention to their frontline staff, ensuring they are knowledgeable about customer expectations and are capable of providing a respectful and courteous service. Unfortunately, this experience has led me to the decision that I wont be returning to this Me Va Me Express location. I hope this review serves as constructive feedback for improvement in both customer service and food quality.

Great chicken shawarma with nice portions. Wish the seating was more comfortable.

Lafa wrap bread was not cooked from one side and it tooks over 20 mins to get the whole wrap to be done

Delicious and consistent.

Good is amazing

Their service is garbage. They mixed up order and the recipient s name multiple times. This happened multiple times. Guy on the phone mumbles English and has hard time understanding the order. I hope this reaches to the owner to improve.

Food is always good fresh and scrumptious

Fresh ingredients. Delicious healthy foods. Service is very slow so order ahead if you can.

This place used to be authentic Israeli style food. I went there last weekend for a pita with falafel, nothing Israeli about it anymore. So disappointing. We used to love this place and order from it all the time. The portions shrunk, the salads completely changed, and on top of being completely overpriced, they nickle and dime you for everything.

Ordered for pick up. Not ready. Staff were absolutely horrible and didnt care. Why do you order ahead. I am very disgusted

Very bad service in stead 20min I am waiting 40min -2023-02-26. I left without food

Before pandemic, used to buy dinner for my family quite often Yesterday went back after 3 years. To put it mildly, not the same experience. Potion size been cut by half. I still have older containers for a single skewer meal. Got myself shawarma in peta. If it wasnt for hot sauce but I asked for with would have flavor of a cardboard Very sad to see that. Not sure if Ill go back again

Ordered a chicken skewer pita, was asked to wait for 20 minutes (which is understandable) when came back 20 minutes later apparently no one bothered to inform the kitchen on my order and now they asked me to wait for another 15 minutes, no thanks asked my money back, when asked to speak with the manager (whom knows me personally) he preferred to cower away with excuses after excuse, this is not how to do business, you messed up at leas have the decency to hear me out as a customer, I understand that things can go wrong but than to cower up and refuse even to hear me out? I will never set foot at your place again and will make sure non of my friends and family either

Food is very good and prices not bad very friendly customer sevice

They always mess up the orders and we notice items missing when we get home. Instead of making it right, they argue and place blame. Not worth the price for the hassle.

Tasty and healthy food

Disgusting people. Very bad service took 30+ minutes and they didn t even give food had to get refund. Never going back again. When asking to talk to manager they told me to mind my business and they were very rude

Called because they made an error with my order. The person on the phone was helpful, but I was unhappy with the mistake. Did not get all the food ordered.

The workers here are terrible, but it makes sense since they re minimum wage. Absolutely no recollection of the last 5 minutes of events. I told you to put my 3$ in change, in your tip jar. So why are you asking me to pay 1$ extra when I ask for extra eggplant. Luckily the manager was friendly, and the food is always up to par.

Big portion, tastes pretty good

Terrible value for your money. Portions are tiny on the chicken. Paid 30 bucks for this delivered. Unbelievable they send such small portions and the quality is not good like before. Stay far away from here

Good food. Good people. But not cheap

Absolutely rude staff! Got my order wrong and demanded I pay for the correct order!

Good food, but very long wait time.

Ordered delivery and the entire order was delivered extremely cold, without insulated bags and their location is only 5 minutes away from our office. We called to let them know, and the supervisor was very rude and wouldnt even let me speak. Will not be ordering anymore

Overpriced and it s not even good

Excellent food, cooked and served by excellent people..!!

The price went up, and the portions went down. Used to be our go-to place, but not anymore.

This over McDonalds anytime

Title: Disappointing Experience for Restricted Diets Review: I recently visited this restaurant with high hopes of finding options that fit my restricted diet, but unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed and frustrated. As someone who cannot consume carbs, I requested a sandwich without bread. To my surprise, the restaurant staff informed me that they couldnt accommodate this simple modification. Understanding their limitations, I decided to opt for a shawarma platter with vegetables instead. However, I encountered another roadblock when they informed me that they couldnt provide the same vegetables they typically include in sandwiches. I was surprised by this response, especially since we were discussing basic ingredients like lettuce and tomatoes. In an effort to find a solution, I offered to pay extra for the specific vegetables I wanted, but unfortunately, my request was declined. This left me feeling even more frustrated, as it seemed like a simple request that should have been easily accommodated. As someone with dietary restrictions, its disheartening to encounter a lack of flexibility and understanding from a restaurant, particularly when it comes to basic ingredients like vegetables. Its important for restaurants to be mindful of the needs and preferences of their customers, especially in an era where dietary restrictions are increasingly common. While the restaurant may have other positive aspects, this experience left me with a feeling of disappointment and a sense that my dietary needs were not taken seriously. For individuals with restricted diets, I would advise exploring other dining options that are more accommodating and understanding of specific dietary requirements.

Delicious food!

A nice shawarma place with a varied menu. Kind staff, clean space to eat, delicious food. My favorite go-to for lunch/dinner when I visit the area.

Wait times are appalling. Customer service is terrible. They don t care about customers and make them wait even if you have preordered food. No sorry, the owner gives you attitude if you complain. Bad service. We have been loyal customers for many years. Lately it has been from bad to worse. Will not return.

Number 1 Shawarma in the area. Best quality sauces and dips by far. Great service, the staff are friendly here and the food is always 10/10

It was very disappointing to be refused in service at 9:45 PM with the sign Open. It is so disrespectful to your clients as you claim that your opening hours are 11 AM- 10 PM. Will not return!

Always delicious

Massive and delicious chicken schnitzel wraps. Recommend wholeheartedly! Lots of parking :)

Great place to get chicken shawarma entrees or sandwiches. The shawarma and the rice are very flavourful and come with pita bread and fresh salad. Other good options are the chicken schnitzel and the grilled chicken breast, which are very delicious as well. The portions are very big, and will always keep you full. Also, their signature dips are very good (hummus, baba ganoush and fried eggplant).

Childish service, very uncomfortable feeling while I was waiting for my food, the cashier spoiled my meal

We did order online. The price is OVER!!!! Plate of food is too small

amazing

Prices went up and quality and portions went down. Very disappointing. Won t be rushing back

Great shawarma.

Always great food. Best Bubba ganoush Food

ME VA ME is one of our favorite SHAWARMA fully loaded and lots of sauces to choose from. Yummy yummy

Tasty and good price.

Absolutely delicious!

Fresh ingredients, authentic preparation and generous portions! I love the staff they are very friendly! Blessings:)

Amazing Shwarma pita

Not even a shadow of what this place used to be. Prices remain high however portions are now 10%. Seating dirty and sticky. Brand and experience totally destroyed.

When in town. always a great place to stop by. Generous portions, good service and obviously delicious food.

The food here is of similar quality to the restaurant, but not as fresh. It s mostly a take out place so don t expect to grab a table. When I went there was only one person working in the back so the food took a while, but the quality was still there.

Wonderful food and customer service. Parking: Free parking, lots of space. Food : 5/5 |

always good food, recommend

Waited a bit since there were only 2 staff at lunch time. Anyhow chicken shawarma and hummus was great!

One of my worst experiences with food. I am usually a person who can eat literally anything and I mean anything even if it s slightly stale (but not bad). I requested for a chicken shawarma + vegetable variety plate and all they had was carbs (fries etc) although they did have vegetables for sandwiches. The chicken was smelling bad not just stale BAD. So bad that my partner could smell it at the opposite side of the table. I just had the cucumbers and left the rice and chicken as is. I will never recommend this place.

Dont tell people 20 min for shwarma wait when its closer to 40. Be honest. Dont be rude when asking how much longer for the dude

Very rude staff and the food is not good

Good food, fast service.

Excellent food and service! Got two sandwiches (chicken and chicken shawarma), both were excellent in taste and quantity! Staff are very friendly. This location has been excellent since they opened. Never been disappointed with their service or food. Thank you!

We arrived at 9 and they were out of chickens Shawarmas, The quality of the food is very average, its not bad honestly it used to be a lot better, especially during Covid it was my to go place, but since then I feel the quality is fallen considerably.

The dips are amazing

Had a lovely time visiting for my first time the other day. The lamb laffa I got was absolutely delicious and huge. The girl who served me was very sweet and made the experience all the better. To the girl who served me; If youre reading this, Ill learn more sign language for next time in town lol

I ordered grilled chicken breast box with greek salad and mashed potato sides, and IT WAS AWESOME!!! The staff are super friendly, and food is soooo delicious Food

Everything is good here. You wont be disappointed

Ive been visiting Me Va Me for more than a decade in all the two famous branches at Steeles and at Rutherford; the same good quality of food and the plate size is the same never changed. Highly recommended

Tasty food at a good price

I like this place for falafel and salads , they make best Hammos dip too, my last time shawarma order came with chicken skin and some rubbery meat .. over all is good place for pickup a bite

Always a favorite for lunch. Cook to order and delicious. Staff are very nice as well.

Great Mediterranean fast food, some of the best hummus Ive ever had.

If you enjoy good food you might have to think twice about visiting this place and here is why: 1- Overpriced relative to the portion size 2- Consistently slow service no matter what time of the day you go 3- Quality is hit or miss 4- Lack the basics of customer service 5- Often times they forget to pack half of your paid order 6- BEST of all, this all comes with ATTITUDE towards the customers

Good customer service and good quality 100% I come back again

Great taste, good option, variety of toppings and big sandwiches

Not a good experience. Service slow Waitress was nice Food - not as advertised. Good bread. If you want a carb rush this is the place.

Pretty darn good shawarma for only $15 after tax - pretty big portion too. The (owner or manager?) made a point to say thank you from across the room as i was walking out with my take-out order during a busy lunch rush - that left a pretty good impression. Will definitely be back

My recent order from Me Va Me, a restaurant Ive frequented as a loyal customer, has left me thoroughly disappointed. The babganoush, a dish Ive always enjoyed, turned out to be a shadow of its former self due to a recent recipe change. Upon bringing this to the restaurants attention, not only did they admit to altering the recipe, but they also refused to provide a refund. This response is unacceptable, particularly considering my long-term patronage. As someone who has supported Me Va Me for years, I expected better. The lack of accountability and refusal to address customer concerns have significantly diminished my trust in their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Its disheartening to see a restaurant I once enjoyed fall short in both food quality and customer service.

Staff was very easy to deal with on a catering order, and have always delivered quality food

This shawarma is soem of the best in Toronto. And probably the best me va me location Food

Their shawarma is awful.

Best chicken schnitzel in town

solid quality, would have given 5* but the service was not very good. It was not very busy, it took a very long time and the staff was not very friendly. Vegetarian options: looks like lots of options Parking: Lots of parking Kid-friendliness: Kids can terrorize the place its not fine dining.

Ordered falafel today, saw man frying my falafel after I ordered, out of nowhere a girl brought out a pita with falafel, after they conversed they seemed confused where it came from , I asked if that is fresh and hot and she said yes. After having tried it, it wasn t hot or warm from the frier so I don t know where there found it from. Also didn t like that choice of toppings is less, they charge extra for eggplant in which other locations do not. Won t be coming back to this location.

Excellent food. Freshly prepared.

The quality was excellent. Very delicious. Keep in mind that if you order anything classified as a Plate, they will add pre-selected ingredients. So if you want to pick your ingredients, let them know well in advance.

We have been getting food from Me Va Me Express on a weekly basis for many years. Apparently management has changed and so has customer service. Surprising that new management has decided to get stingy with the sauces that used to come free (tahini and hot). They actually make it a point to make you feel like they are doing you a favour by providing one and only one - this is supposed to feed a family. Not quite sure how much money there is to be made/saved vs. losing long time customers. Hope ownership realizes this and changes the approach.

customer service was aggressive, they played dumb They delivered different order Never in my life I ll order from this place

Ordered chicken shawarma.... Got dry meat crumbs in pita. Simply disgusting and very disappointing. It used to be my go to place.

Very, very over priced. Food is very, very ordinary.

Great healthier and yummy takeout alternative. Had the chicken shawarma laffa wrap and it was delish.

Amazing food with great service. You cant go wrong. Highly recommend this place.

Great spot for for amazing clean Mediterranean food. We always get it to the office and home for family dinner. Highly recommended

Had Me Va Me for lunch today and It was delicious. It was a bit busy but worth the wait. I would highly recommend this place.

Best Food Ever

Gentleman behind counter overcharged us, food is good but service is horrible

One of the best case shawarma wrap with freshly baked break

$60 for this Me VA me on Steeles is absolutely garbage. The employees all look tired and act as if they dont want to be there.

Only 2 stars for the food, customer service is very poor, I would not go back to this place because of the person is cashing out people, please be respectful to people giving you business

The food is fantastic, but the price has gone up by 50% in the last couple of years. If they can bring that down a bit, I will be an even happier customer.

DO NOT EAT HERE!! FOUND A DEAD BUG IN A SALAD!

Incredible taste and freshness! Great value! Fast and friendly service! Keto and Vegetarian-friendly options. Highly recommend!!! Vegetarian options: Variety of fresh salads, falafel and hummus! Parking: Lots of free parking adjacent to the restaurant in the strip mall/plaza. Wheelchair accessibility: Small ramp from parking lot to the front sidewalk is close to the restaurants front door. Front door is very close to parking lot (includes accessible parking spots right in front of the restaurant) and level with outside sidewalk and whole restaurant is accessible for all physical abilities. No problem for take-out orders. However the only seating is bar-height tables & chairs. Do dine-in in not accessible to those who are wheelchair-bound.

Great food. Very friendly staff. They helped us when deciding what to order. Must visit this location.
