Laziza Mediterranean Cuisine in Toronto

Some of the best shawarma I ve had in the city!! I really like how they have a selection of not one, but TWO types of rice. Everything was so fresh and flavourful, made for a great quality muck indeed. 10/10 big yum

Clean place, good prices and friendly staff.

If my personal favorite place ever closes down at least I have a place that I can call my backup. Amazing food amazing service

This is what all fast food restaurants ought to offer: good quality, good service, good value. I walked into this place by chance and I walked out impressed. Bravo!

Please add an option to choose toppings on Ubereats. The sandwiches taste really bad when everything is included and there is too much sauce. Im sure the experience is better in person because the souvlaki meat was pretty good

Ordered buy one get one for pickup from ubereats, they were out of beef so they cancelled my order but then turned off ubereats completely so I couldn t reorder with the promo

You guys seriously need to learn customer service or atleast hire good employees because if you dont you gonna loose serious business. The clown who served me was rude and disrespectful. Looks like hes been forced work there. Manager and Owner of laziza you guys need to look into these matters of you joint

Closed, wasted our time as if we dont exist.

The best and I mean the BEST shawarma I have ever had. I love this place and keep wishing for opportunities to grab another shawarma from here.

Vegetarian options: U can choose components that u want Food

Great food and friendly staff, really good value and so many options for salads and side. Vine leaves are a bonus

This place is the best! Delicious and fresh food - so many options! The staff always make you feel welcome and they are all super nice. I highly recommend. Food : 5/5

They never disappoints me so good! Always fresh ingredients and the place is very clean. The hummus is to die for. Food

EDIT: Theyve renovated the space significantly since Ive posted this review Schewarma Wrap is nothing special. I saw a cockroach behind the counter the last time I went, normally it wouldnt have tainted my experience that much, keeping a restaurant pest free is difficult, but this was a shawarma joint, so behind the counter was where the chopped vegetables and toppings were. Personally, I would rather go to The Saj across the street, bread is made fresh, the place is much cleaner and even though they dont have a shawarma spit, the wraps taste much better. Staff are incredibly friendly though.

Work hours stated in google are not true, they don t work after midnight.

One of the best Shwarma places in the city. Down to earth prices, great portions, and a friendly staff. I cant recommend it enough. I regularly go here for lunch and will continue to do so! Food

Very impressive! Cardamom in the chicken marinade, love it! Very well cooked chicken and the shawarma plate veg is quality with big portions.

Nastiest shawarma I ever had

Small with 5 star service and vegetarian friendly. The guys hooked us up! Please visit, you won t regret this (get the shawarma wrap with everything, no regrets). Make sure you get garlic sauce on whatever you get, it s going to change your life for the better. Vegetarian options: SHWARMA Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian

Amazing as always

Great food!

Delicious! Best falafel!

Best meal in long time

Food is mid but local spot I guess

Really tasty falafel platter! I loved all the different salads and roasted veggies that you get to choose from. I came in shortly after they opened and everything on the table was nicely arranged and looked so fresh. My family really enjoyed the food. I ll come back whenever I m in the area for sure. The two men at the front that served me were nice as well.

Ordered from Skip and they did not give me the right order. Wrong items and missing items and did not issue a refund. The quality of the food was very poor and I threw most of it out.

One of best places in downtown to enjoy shawarma specially if you are looking for a handsome amount of protein at a competitive price. Vegetarian options: Falafel

Smelled like there was dead rats in the store

Very disappointing...

This place needs more improvements...

The dudes who run this place are great!

Fantastic food. Best falafel restaurant I have tried in all of GTA during my 9 years here

This spot is the best schawarma in downtown Toronto. Saad and the team are incredibly friendly and solid guys. To be honest, I ve walked past this spot for years without going in and happy to have found out how good it is, but am also bummed I didnt go in sooner. Their schawarma is crispy, juicy and overall showstoppijg. They have lentil rice for plates. And the salads are incredible. The two times I ve been in I have seen regulars chatting with Saad and praising it. To paraphrase one of these regulars Laziza is saving downtown Toronto s schawarma soul.

The food s delicious, the people are kind

Quite healthy. Consistent production. Amen.

Absolutely trash looked good but was old stale rancid unreliable nobody took accountability The food had obviously been re heated Food

Best fast falafel and shawarma in the city

BEST chicken shawarma both my son & I agree we have ever had!! Fresh & great quality ingredients & spices were perfect!! Staff veRy nice & personable, & cute & clean lil place to have a quick bite if need too! Would definitely frequent going there if only it were closer, as we did not live in TO, but would gladly sometimes go for the drive as it is worth it. A definite muSt try!! Parking: Free street parking if your able to find a spot only downside

Tasteless shawarma

They are so kind and respectful and also I like the way they service the customer.

Loooved the Shawarma, and the SALAD TOPINGS are just to die for. Wonderful customer service, very kind and welcoming hosts. Food : 5/5 | Service

Overpriced and small portions.. driest most bland chicken shawarma I ve ever had. Did not enjoy ..

Food is absolutely incredible and easily one of the best Shawarma places I have ever tried. The service is good but could be better. The atmosphere is nothing special but doesnt need to be. It provides you with tables and chairs should you need to eat-in.

This is the best kept secret on Bloor Street! It is my go-to place for drop-in meals, takeout and party platters. The food is incredibly tasty, healthy and beautifully presented. The people who prepare and serve the food are very friendly and generous. Vegetarian options: Great selection and variety of veg dishes!

Great place, fresh tasty falafel. Im a satisfied man.

Great service and amazing food! Best place to come at midnight for some yummy fresh shawarmas that fulfills your midnight cravings :) Friendly staff and excellent service.

Mo & the boys doing it up right. Sahtein!!

Easily my go to shawarma spot on Bloor. Staff are always friendly and give generous amounts of meat.

Worst shawarma and worst service ever never going back.

3 ¼ Stars: and that s not a knock on it. It s that type of place for that type of mood.

Love this place. Best value for money, delicious and nutritious!

Staff is helpful, food is decent, no complaints.

Our go to place for Shawarma! So yummy, good portions too!

This is a fast food that is simple on its setup. My first visit was not planned so we decided to order each one sandwich just in case their food was average but to our surprise their Falafel as well as the chicken shawarma were extremely delicious. I love the fact that you can customize your sandwiches without any objection. We end up ordering additional sandwiches Kafta, chicken and beef shawarma. yes they were all delicious. I highly recommend this place.

Our go-to shawarma place! They never disappoint, always great

Great food for the price

One of the best in the city. Lots of salads & toppings. Highly recommended.

Bad, unprofessional, terrible

Small joint. The two stars are only for the quantity of food they serve. The beef is chewy and so difficult to swallow. I had to throw away most of it because it felt like I was eating leather Tasted average.

I really love this spot but 2 days ago I got serious food poisoning from it for the SECOND time.

Outstanding, delicious and fresh schwarma, overstuffed into large white or whole wheat pitas. And at $16 for 2 wraps its a fantastic value! The two brothers and their team provide excellent service, generous portions and the place is very clean. I have also picked up catered platters for 8-10 dinner guests. They couldnt be more accomodating with my orders! Thanks, Mo for providing the best downtown schwarma! Highly recommend!

not tasty, chicken shawarma is greasy and with hard pieces of lard. I do not recommend

I had the chicken shawarma plate and it was okay. The beef plate though, was undercooked and tasted like it had no salt or seasoning.

One of the best shawarma s I ve had in town.

Best falafel/shawarma youll find in downtown Toronto.

Amazing shawarma with beautiful salads and great deals if you re going with a friend!

Best shawarma plate I have had. The size and quality were excellent but the amount of choices for what goes on your plate is unlike other places I have been. Whatever I saw, I could put it on my plate. Highly recommend.

This place has pretty good food when they do (its hit and miss) But the service at this place is simply disheartening. You go in and the guy making your shawarma, no smile no nothing, just an expression of disgust that greets you. Mind you, this is the second time this has happened. Was charged $1 when I asked for a small container of garlic sauce, when on another visit, they just gave it to me free. But whatever, I get it, times are hard. Dont think Ill come out of my way to come here and get my shawarma fix, energy is everything and when the person making my shawarma looks miserable towards me, Ill pass.

The staffs are super friendly and professional. Also, the food is such a good and reasonable price. I will definitely go there again.

Shawarma has the Perfect amount of seasoning/salty levels, fresh salads (hello actual Feta cubes in the Greek salad!!) and nice display. Good air circulation if wanting to dine in.

A kebab or shawarma of very good quality and very good quantity, the place looks clean and tidy, the only thing is that it is small and only has a couple of tables, the staff is friendly but there are some details that need to be improved. Not all of us have perfect English. ..but the rest is fine

One of the better shawarma shops Ive come across. Sandwiches dont become a soggy mess.

not sure what changed, used to be a must try.. used to give 3 different types of salad and 2 different types of rice with lentils in the rice and a variety of veggies like eggplant, and now none of that, rice is all the same flavorless and the chicken tastes very burnt and nothingggggg has any flavor anymore. sad day used to be best shawarma I had in the city

Good test for the food 9/10 for all things here in this restaurant really this first time for me I recommend to try chicken shoawama

Great falafel and fresh ingredients

Good food, great quality.

Good food, good portions, great service

They have The most tasty food. And the people in this restaurant, Friendly and the service is perfect.

best shawarma downtown! i love their side salads, my plates today came with tabbouleh and chickpea salad! great portions too, i love laziza

The food was okay. It was a little dry because its been on the steam table for a little bit, which isnt a big deal because the seasonings are there and its what you would expect from food services like this. I ordered the Mix Sharwarma Platter and a medium order of Grape Leaves. Places like these, guest usually leave their finished food on the table, and it gets cleaned up. HOWEVER, I had told an employee about me stepping out to use the restroom, and as I finished and came back. My barely eaten food was gone. I asked them about where my food went, and they said they threw it out and blamed me for not communicating that I was using the restroom. I had explained to them and pointed out the employee that I had told, but the employee and the rest of the team was unapologetic and blamed me. I just asked them to remake me a plate (which I had barely touched. Probably about 1/6 of it was eaten). Which would have been fine by me, but they gave me a significantly smaller box and barely filled it to what I originally had left, which would have been approx 5/6. As I was not looking for high class dining, I was looking for some sincerity and honesty in service.

DO NOT EAT HERE! Legit just walked in and it everything seemed normal (11-24-23 @6:30pm) but as I was waiting to order I looked down at the hot table and there was a COCKROACHES on the potatoes and food! I yelled out theres a cockroach on your potatoes and he looked at me and continued. I yelled I cannot and walked out, after looking in from outside he just stirred the potatoes and continued serving! I use to always come here after work and I am truely disappointed but they seriously need to fix there infestation issue! PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

Great shawarma

The place has extreme hygiene issues. Cockroaches were seen on the sticky, unclean tables

The best falafel wrap in the neighbourhood. The food is always delicious and fresh, the service is great. The guys are nice and polite. I would never leave a bad a review just because I wasn t smiled at This is a great spot for delicious Mediterranean eats! Food

Delicious and great portion sizes! Very nice workers too

Order was accepted and was in-process for 30 min before they cancelled. Waited for nothing.

Found this place while visiting the neighbourhood from out of town. Food was amazing. Loved their chicken souvlaki and potatoes. Had one of their felafel as well and it was delicious!!

Please avoid this place I got food from here yesterday it was the only thing I ate and I got very sick Im thinking the chicken wasnt cooked

Excellent ! Very good !

Very good food very good service everything is excellent seriously 100% recommendation if youre in Toronto on Bloor Street you must go

One of the best shawarma in town. Love you guys.

Awesome food; great selection and fantastic service

These people somehow always forget to listen to the special instructions on food delivery apps

Best falafel! So fresg! Multiple times a day they change and refill the topping station. Hand made grape leave wraps. yummy

Delicious food Very good people too

Just tried in here shawarma both chicken and beef were awesome. Loved it. Best place for Best taste.

7/10 taste is average. Big portions. Like how they give assortment of salads and not just one type like other places.

We have seen Lazizas food quality decline over time. We remember when the chicken shawarma platter came in big round container. That quantity and top quality, impressed us. We started occasionally ordering from Laziza because of quality and quantity. Over the time, those large round containers changed to smaller white boxes. We were sad to see this change but we were happy with the quality. Over the time, quality of food started going down. But we still ordered, assuming the quality would improve. But today, was the last straw. I ordered a chicken sharmana platter and a chicken shawarma wrap. I added a note asking to make both things spicy. The note was entirely ignored and the food was so bland that it seemed as if no sauces were used. I dont mind when the quantity of food reduces or when you jack up the price. But I do mind when the quality is repeatedly compromised. Im never ordering from this restaurant again nor Ill recommend anyone to order from here.

Chicken shawarma/ platter is the best. Really good customer service as well. Team is friendly too.

Nicest guys and freshest veggies and hummus

what can i say? :) best Shawarma/middle eastern food experience in Toronto, and i have tried everything From Ghazale/Sarahs to Ali Baba, Osmows, Paramount, etc and hands down best meat/Falafel quality, best salad/sides, the amount of food you get in each plate is just crazy and would feed 2 people easily.

It was worth the stop....the garlic sauce was out of this world GOOD. There was enough food for 2 people with plenty of leftovers. Next time in TORONTO a must stop.

Horibble place & Racist. If your black save yourself the humiliation. Disrespectful staff. Needs to improve their customer service & payment system. Orders should Aways be taken and the payment is confirmed and complete ;hang on to your receipt especially if you are a marginalized group (already not accepted and wanted in their spaces) I was charged $16.06 for an order that was suppose to be $15.81(since I paid with debit with all the commotion the guy there manipulative and overcharge me thinking I won t realise. ALWAYS GRAB YOUR RECEIPT. If you are ordering food make sure to PAY UPFRONT. MAKE SURE TO PAY EVEN if you are sitting in or taking away. REGARDLESS OF THE TENDER. I was humiliated for not paying I came the day before was served Infront of the same staff and couldn t peacefully have another visit without having to be targeted for not paying. I paid the day before and sat and waited as they prepared the same order. Ordered and sat and waited for my food. Decided to sit in and eat then left. I was chased outside and humiliated. You didn t pay. I was so shock I was thinking what s all this. I pay for my stuff anywhere I go. I took a second to make sure my purchase history didn t show I paid and was willing to pay not a problem for me. I went on to explain there should be a system when a order is taken, the customer pays and then you start to prepare the food. I was rudely interrupted yay, yah just pay for My Burger . So disrespectful, wasn t wanted in the space in the first place so I surely will NOT be going back. It s not my first experience I. This area either not being accepted, have Snapchat videos with racist slurs shouted in this same area so It s clear. Wont order here and if your black woman save yourself most of them don t even like you or want you around. I should have just stuck to what I m use to where it s predictable and safe and just ordered my Jamaican jerk chick and rice and peas. My fault for trying something new

Best falafel platter of my life.

Nothing negative to say here, but what really sets this place apart is how carefully and deliberately the ingredients are arranged on the wraps. These folks are pros, and every bite is consistent. Love it here.

Great deal on Delicious chicken shawarmas!

One of the most authentic shawarmas in the city. Super fresh and staff are so nice!

Food tasted fine . but the workers were not wearing masks and I found PLASTIC in my food. Thankfully, I felt it while I was chewing but um . yeah not want I want to be eating. Who knows if I ate another smaller piece of plastic . :/

They are always so upbeat and nice, really big portion sizes and I love all the different salad options for the wraps and plates

Meh. This place is close to where I live so Ive grabbed a shawarma there many times. Sometimes its ok, but other times not at all. And you have to watch what they put in (what? no garlic sauce??) and what exactly do they charge you for. Not nice. Theres plenty of competition nearby.

These guys seem to take pride in their work and the food tastes amazing! Perhaps those are related.

Classic spot for late night eats, this restaurant performs consistently. Its just sad how inflated the prices have gotten now though due to market conditions, but the portions are generous, the food is healthy and whether youre drunk, high or just plain hungry, their meals will satisfy your cravings.

Awesome shawarma and they have a deal for 2 of them. Will go back lots.

I LIVED off the daily plate special when I first moved into the area. The food is GREAT, excellent deal! My mouth is watering just writing this review. Vegetarian options: The Falafel and roasted veg are amazing

If only there were negative stars to give. Worst wrap ever had. Couldnt sleep whole night due to upset stomach. Bought 2 wraps, had to throw the other. Stay away if you care for your health. Disgusting!!

Best Schwarma in Toronto!

My experience at Laziza has always been met with consistent service, fresh and well seasoned food and a comparable price to match the overall experience...

Best shawarma in the west end

The food is excellent and one dinner plate will last for two meals. The Beef Shwarma is amazing as are the roasted potatoes and the salad with mango.

I only try to go when Mo is working he is a super nice person and thats how workers should be..I had some bad experience with some workers...the food is so good and fresh....great place to eat or order food Vegetarian options: They have venetian dishes ..excellent

Love these guys! Food is amazing

Food was very bland, both the chicken wrap and salad lacked flavour. Would recommend another shawarma spot instead, but service was friendly.

I am really disappointed. I got there around 11:30 p.m. expected to get Sharma platter with beef. At that time they didnt have beef so I was okay with substituting for chicken. I heard a lot of good things about this place but when I got the platter for me and my wife the rice was really hard. Feels like they dug it up from the bottom of the barrel. They could have told me otherwise, I would have walked away and got something else to eat. It was waste of food and waste of money.

Simple the best

Any time of day or night, go here. Food is fresh and totally delicious. Some good dealis.

Customer service is solid! Has been fresh every time iv gone

The food was amazing, everyone that works there was so nice. Authentic flavours and a perfect late night snack after a comedy show

Decided to grab a quick bite of shawarma, I got a chicken shawarma plate, Everything was dry. Chicken? Dry. Salad? Dry, no salad dressing Shawarma sauce? Watered down. Hot sauce? Watered down The only thing they get a one star for is their garlic sauce, other than that I would never eat here again.

Great Food!

Good food, good taste

Best shawarma around! Top quality meat and toppings! Service is amazing and the food is great!

The only thing I didnt like was the front door was fully open and it was so uncomfortable to sit inside moreover the table wasnt clean. But good food and nice customer service Vegetarian options: I order flafil sandwich therere other vegetarian options were available

Try the falafel ...fresh made to order..nice staff..quick service..value for money

Authentic shawarma with excellent servings! Service was super quick

Walked in at 1130 last night and the vegetables were all shriveled up like theyd been cut days ago. The entire place also smelled vaguely like a bathroom. Had a bad feeling about proceeding but not a ton of other places to go late on a Wednesday. Should have trusted my instincts, and now Im writing this review from the toilet where Ive spent most of my day.

Ive never had Mediterranean food before. The guys behind the counter really enjoy how and what they serve. Super friendly, fast and always smiling.

Clean, good products, nice staff

Their food tastes amazing and the prices are cheap. It reminds me of Turkish street food.

Just ok. Service was just ok. Shawarma was not great. Dry, pretty bland. Hope that was a one-off.

Very delicious

Tasty, good value, friendly staff

Worst Sharwarma I ever eat meat was not ready and Sharwarma was tasteless its disturbed my stomach.

So yum

ordered their mixed shawarma thru doordash. they didnt give me the right side but it was also like 2am so thats fair. also the beef was kinda dry (the chicken was v tender!). BUT OTHER THAN THAT it was really good and also i deadass got three separate meals out of it. will order again

Good quantity but they should add more variety for vegetarians
