I got the Jerusalem street style plate. Portion was great with chicken and beef shawarma. I also appreciated that they allowed me to swap the sides. Hummus was really smooth, creamy and flavourful. Falafels were also very good, on its own or when paired with the yogurt tahini dip for extra flavour. I later found out that they have a “Mama’s choice” plate that has shawarma, falafel and hummus - combining everything I like in one plate!

First day in Toronto, I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant! The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with great attention to detail, and the menu had a wonderful variety of options to suit all tastes. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch meal!

Ordered delivery again today , with the same high expectations and delicious flavours…….. Unfortunately , the food does not look anything like the last time !!!! Uber Eats has failed spectacularly, all the food is a disaster, everything is cold , mixed up, and like the delivery guy shook it all up before getting it to us . I am sure this is not how the restaurant packed the food or wanted it delivered 😖😖 I am not happy editing my review but I need to do as to bring attention to the horrendous service provided by Uber Eats resulting in no dinner for us ☹️ . I feel bad for the restaurant Ordered delivery, first time trying this restaurant and I am happy to say that they did not disappoint 😋 . Got Shish Tavook platter as well as Chicken Shawarma platter , both were delicious, tasteful and plenty !!! They were kind enough to substitute Fattoush salad for one of the dishes. It’s fairly new at the Queen west location, a definite must try 👌

I have come here a few times, both alone and with friends, and each time is great! Their platters are consistently delicious and made fresh. Prices are reasonable. You pay at the front, get a buzzer, then you can wait until your food is ready to pick up. I have tried a few types of their platters, and the meat is halal and perfectly cooked. I love their fresh pita, toum, and crispy fries as well. There is self serve for water if you dine in. It is an open kitchen so you can watch the food being prepared. Tables and booths are comfy and clean. The owner and the servers are also very friendly.

The flavors were unlike anything we've experienced before, awakening taste buds we didn't even know we had. The staff's warmth and attentiveness added to the wonderful atmosphere. You can truly see and taste the love and care they put into each dish. Every bite was a testament to their dedication to quality and flavor. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience that will tantalize your senses, Azkadenya is a must-try. Don't miss out on this culinary gem! #AMust

Claiming 'Toronto's best falafel' is bold, but pretty accurate! This falafel was dope, pleasantly extremely authentic, crispy yet fluffy with solid aromatic flavors and no excessive oil etc. I also super dig this joint, love the vibe and decor. The only thing that could be worked on is the hot sauce, the consistency is awesome and it’s more of a paste but literally tastes like tomatoe paste. Support local businesses!

Azkadenya is a fantastic Mediterranean restaurant that exceeded our expectations. My wife and I tried the mixed grill, and it was absolutely delicious – the flavors were perfectly balanced, and each bite was a delight. The atmosphere was charming, creating a cozy and inviting dining experience. Additionally, the staff were well-behaved and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a wonderful place to enjoy a meal, and we highly recommend it!

Food is good, the portions are big, but hygiene is bad. They didnt wear gloves to pick up the flat bread or serve fries. It was the same unwashed hands they used to take payments from customers. If you are willing to close your eyes in that part, you will definitely like it. The entrance smelled like pee. Would I have known that, I would probably not have given any tips upfront.

The shawarma wrap was perfectly spiced, and the slaw gave it a delightful crunch. We also shared the hummus with freshly baked pita. Spectacular food, and quickly made for how fresh everything was. What a treat to stumble upon this place!

★★★★★
July 23, 2024

I went here today and was pleasantly surprised! I never know what to expect when trying a new place. I ordered the chicken shawarma and it was AMAZING. The wrap was so soft, but had a nice chew. The meat was tender, juicy, and flavourful. I loved the way the sauces mixed with the fries in the wrap. The cabbage and pickles inside were almost my favourite part because they added acidity. I will say the wait was a bit longer than anticipated, but they have a sign that warns you of that when ordering. It was well worth the wait since they take care in preparing your dish. I am excited to try something new off the menu!.

I didnt find it to be overly sweet like a lot of desserts are. It has spices in it too). I would also recommend ordering falafel there. The outside is crisp and the inside is soft. Vegetarian options: Falafel and different vegetable sides, hummus and other pita dips

EXCELLENT food with quite big portions. This was our first meal after getting off a flight to toronto, so we hadnt eaten for ~6 hrs and were quite hungry when getting to this place. But the food turned out to be *more than enough* for us. we ordered a tawook on rice (seems to be chicken kabob + rice + veggie) and a chicken wrap, and we (2 ppl) could barely finish it. The quality was good too. The chicken tasted delicious, and we loved the wrap as well.

I walked in looking for a halal place while I was in the city and was not disappointed. The server was courteous waiting patiently for me to decide what I wanted. He explained the different options on the menu and how I could combine different items in the platter and the cost difference. The food itself was good. I didnt customize but just went for a full Mixed Grill. If I had to pick on something, I would have said a separate plate for fries would be more convenient. But all the items in the dish were delicious and had good portions. The restaurant is clean and welcoming and the restroom is also clean enough. The cost is not particularly great but considering the food and the location, its reasonable. I would definitely like to go here again. Dietary restrictions: Halal

Very dope, perfect place to walk into. Got the chicken shawarma platter, shawarma, hummus, rice and white sauce were very generous and delicious. Pita was fresh and tasty, especially with the hummus. All the workers were very nice:)

Super slow employees. Roaming around aimlessly. No clue whats going on. (5 more minutes) only words that come out of them.

Dropped in for some food, and didn t expect this place to be as good as it was, the meat was tender and well seasoned. The spices were super interesting. Spoke to the chef and they told me it s Jordanian food. The rice was also spiced with cloves and other aromatics, the hummus was silky smooth.

Nice clean place right on Queen str W. We ordered the beef shawarma and the mixed grill (chicken and lamb). The sharwama was fine but definitely not among my fav shawarma place (only onion and cabage as vegs inside, not sure if it was truly mediterranian. The chicken was very good but the lamb was dry and chewy. I was more impressed with the decor than with the foods.

Wanted Shwarma on a salad. Paid 21$ for this. The chicken was clearly cooked on the grill not a spit, and covered in some kind of BBQ sauce, so not sure what they are calling Shwarma. The salad also came with pita chips, Not listed on the menu and trying not to eat carbs so a bit of a inconvenience. In fairness the guy saw me removing them and offered to make it again, not interested in waiting or wasting food so I refused. It tasted ok, there was about a cup of dry chicken and the salad was swimming in a vinigaret that make it impossible to finish. Not even close to Worth 20$, if you like Shwarma go elsewhere.
