2488 Dufferin St, Toronto, ON M6B 3R1, Canada
This low-key counter-serve spot offers popular Middle Eastern fare, such as shawarma & baklava.
You’ll get the leftovers of chickens Shawarma, all extra grilled. I hope I can put 0 stars. Taste of Chawarma only thinks about making money. You’ll get big quantities but not fresh chicken, maybe something else that will cracks in your mouth.
Every piece of chicken and beef as well as the fries are either burnt or fried to the point of being rock solid. Waste of 15 dollars.
I found a nail in my rice, I went on December 5th between 1pm and 2:30pm
Hands down. this is the best shawarma I've had in the past 10-15 years. They have a great variety of options to customize your dish. Everything is fresh and tastes incredible. The portions are large, so you get your money's worth. My only suggestion would be to accept credit cards.
Always a hit getting an extra-crispy chicken plate with cinnamon rice. Highly recommend getting all the sauces for extra flavour!
Definitely recommend this place!! Their Shawarma sandwiches are really good!! The meat was fresh. I got a Gyro on a Pita and my mom got a Chicken Shawarma wrap. The employees were so nice and courteous!! The one thing I liked was they were super generous when it came to filling up the sandwiches with meat which most Shawarma joints don’t do! Also they’re hand slaughtered halal for those you are caution about machine slaughtered halal! Great place I would recommend it!
I ordered a beef shawarma plate for take out. The male employees were unfriendly and rude to me. Only the female employee was nice. The price was reasonable but the food didn't taste very food, it was bland. I won't come here again.
This place slowly decayed over years and looks like it has hit its bottom now. I came to order shawarma and fries, after taking my shawarma order guy didn't ask if I want anything else and switched to the next person in line, I thought I'll be asked later. I wasn't. When I brought his attention that I'm not finished ordering he told me to go in the beginning of the line to add fries. I left. Also while making food employees where screaming at each other and arguing. there are new faces working every month. Both high employee flow and high stress behind the counter indicates that working conditions are not good. It's hard to trust your food to angry, unhappy temporary kitchen stuff. Won't buy here again.
One of the best in the area a hidden gem you can t miss.
Clean and delicious!! Try the chicken shawarma poutine Parking: Pull up and enjoy with a good friend. Food : 5/5 |
1st time with good friend, Alem treating me with great food! 5 Stars!!! Vegetarian options: All fresh all good!!! Food : 5/5 |
The worst and most expensive shawarma plate I ever had in my life. Never returning to this restaurant even if it is the last one left on planet earth. SMH
The most disorganized place I have ever been to. People who work there are rude and dont know how to treat customers. Asked to pay twice for my food for the second time today. Not sure if theyre that dumb or just trying to rip people off
Thank you so much, Fatma and Zhala , you both are the best, I appreciate you patience and good food.
Such a rude guy
Taste of Shawarma was an excellent place before. Today (Nov 4) I went there around 8:30pm to order Chicken Shawarma. The cashier looked like he was very high on weed. He was doing nothing, just standing and talking in a rude way.
Omfg. Wow. Finally real Donald just like Halifax..... no gyro here. Wheelchair accessibility: Yep And helped
As a sous chef in past life from Halifax. Aka. Hali. Im more than impressed. They stayed open 5 mins after close to feed my starving friend and I. CLEAN. CLEAN. CLEAN. WOW 100 Addicted. Best. Shawarma in GTA And a real. East Coast Donair Ill be back Dietary restrictions: Theyll adjust to any diet Wheelchair accessibility: Yep. Helped with scooter
If youre looking for a serious shawarma you need to visit, Taste of Shawarma. Its a busy fast food restaurant at a convenient location with ample parking. There is a small space to dine but I suggest a take out order. For a mouthwatering blissful experience that will transports you straight to the heart of Middle Eastern flavours that screams out boldness and authenticity - come and try, Taste of Shawarma!! They got the traditional grilling spits cooking, so you know these guys arent messing around! From the first bite, you ll notice the tender, perfectly seasoned meat which is cooked to absolute perfection. The meat has an incredibly crispy texture grill char. So crispy yet juicy and succulent. Their meal is topped with a generous mix of crisp fresh assorted vegetable toppings. There are a variety of sauces, but the hot sauce and shawarma sauce are simply out of this world. These two sauces pack an explosive richness adding each bite a burst of flavour that will send you off to another dimension. The portion size is generous! I promise their meal will leave your taste buds perfectly satisfied. This isn t just fast food it s a culinary delight that will have you coming back for more. This is hands-down one of my favourite spots that deserves a raving review. You owe yourself to try it out!
Pretty good!
I bought a chicken shawarma today around 1 pm, but the chicken was extremely burned. It was inedible, and I ended up having to throw it away. Thank you wasting my time and money
Great food. Friendly service. Just dont expect your order to be ready when you order for pickup.
This has to the worst shawarma I have ever had. First of all the brown rice was just white rice with so much cinnamon it s like it was doused with cinnamon flavour air freshener. Super deceptive and unacceptable. Especially if this was ordered by someone who is diabetic etc. Very unprofessional! Then the chicken where is the seasoning on the chicken? It s completely flavourless and is mostly chicken fat or skin. There is absolutely nothing to save the meal even the pickles smell strange. Honestly feel like I am being trolled. Who is the troll cooking this ? Cannot eat from or trust a restaurant thats dishonest like this
Excellent service, Fresh and delicious food Food
Just had a falafel wrap, it was best Ive had in a while, cant wait to go back and try some other stuff. mouth still tingling with goodness.
A staple when in the area, been a customer for years. Highly recommend!
My go to shawarma place
I give this place 5 stars, I really liked the Chicken Wrap and Zhala very good worker!)
15+ years, always great
Great food and nice service. Love coming here :)
Amazing food!
Great shawarma spot! Always satisfied and full after going here! Food
The service is terrible, food is basic and the sauce hides the fact everything is bland. The service is terrible thought I mention that one more time.
Nice costumer service womans
Somewhat decent food the staff on the other hand behave like idiots and go out of there way to make you feel uncomfortable
Thank you
Tasty food, pretty staff
Great customer service
Great place to eat
Veer good food
My friend said it was really delicious, so it was really delicious. Even though I, a man, ate it, the portion was moderately large and good. Kid-friendliness: Good to do with kids
The best food Ive had in my life
A good appetising shawarma place ....must try ! !
Very overrated. The portions are so small for the price you pay. I will say the food is usually pretty good and tastes fresh but it won t fill you up and isn t worth the long lines. Just okay.
Long wait time !!I order online and waited more than estimated time .
Food was good but small portions
Nice food. I m regular customer.
I like it
Excellent food and service! Beef shawarma really,really good !! Worth a visit !!
Im a regular customer here , they are truly generous on their portions of food , especially with the sauces and theres no other place like it and I definitely recommend!
I recently had the pleasure of trying shawarma, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The first thing that stood out was the exceptional taste. Each bite was bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced and incredibly satisfying. Its evident that a lot of care and thought went into crafting this product. Not only does shawarma s taste amazing, but the quality is also top-notch. The ingredients are fresh, and you can tell that only the best components were used. The texture was perfect, and it had a delightful consistency that made every bite enjoyable. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with shawarma.If youre looking for a product that combines excellent taste with high quality, this is definitely the one to try. Highly recommended!
Hands down best shawarma spot in the city! Edit** they gave me a box with no chicken lol Food : 5/5
I ordered through uber, the order mentioned drink are required but when I received the delivery I did not get any drinks and to speak about taste the worst shawarma I ever had, it smells rotten, there is no customization that can be made. Overall a worst experience.
Best Shawarma, by far!!!!
Horrible service. Ordered the food and they made me wait while making a take out order, after wards when I placed the order I saw that they put bar B que sauce instead of hot sauce and then they refused to change/fix the mistake they made. Waste of money
The shawarma I ate yesterday (first time) was average. It was tasty but definitely dry. I should have asked them to add more sauce (I could tell they put so little but I kept quiet). Honestly they re not just unfriendly. I actually fet intimidated. They didn t even offer me a tray or asked if it was for take out. They wrapped it in a bag without asking. So I ate without a tray because I didnt want to interact with them. Never ever coming back here again.
Food is amazing and friendly staff
Great shawarma for a good price
The best shawarma on the town , best price and food
Best shawarma in Toronto ! Friendly service Just amazing Food : 5/5
Very good shawarma , good prices for the amount of food served. Excelent service to top it all!
The falafel is salad sandwich, the cheese smells very bad, 1 falafel sandwich + coke 17$ very expensive though
Food is the best. Costumer Service is kind of slow but its worth it at the end cause of the food. So Far hope they dont increase the price and its perfect. Food : 5/5
This is my first time in this restaurant.. $45 for two shawarma sandwiches.. I did not object to the price except that I found burnt meat and other impurities. I do not advise anyone to go there..
Perfect
Good good , good service , affordable , emo is nice chef
i love this place.
food is great service is great love it
Came here at 1150pm and they said they are closed, weve already cleaned up. Google says closes at midnight Service
Their chicken shawarma wrap/plate is great but the Beef fries are just incredible. A scoop of feta, shawarma sauce and hot sauce is my go to and it never misses.
Perfect food and service everyone was nice and friendly. Best shawarma in the city no debate. I go every week it s my go to spot.
Great food !!
Great food
Good guys nice to meet you
Amazing portions with great tasty chicken
Emre
Emre very great and friendly guy
NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. Served COLD CHICKEN more than five times in a month. It is the fault of employees that they knowingly and deliberately serve COLD CHICKEN to customer to give them bad experience. I just bought chicken wrap and it is flat COLD. Now, I have to throw it in garbage. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE !!! bought on Aug 20, at 11.45am.
Delicious!
Foods good
Should try there chicken shawarma it s great
Horrible shawarma, had the throw it away after just one bite. Dont charge people money for this smelly food.
There somthing wrong with there chicken its not tasty and its super fatty and theres the skin in there not enjoyable
Good food, good staff Didn t like walking in at 11:45pm and getting turned away when they close at 12am Food : 4/5
The chicken was so dry I barely could eat the fries was very bad I ask the cashier for a sauce and catering but she had an attitude I m not happy with the food and customer service and no parking spot
Taste of shawarma has been the only shawarma place I ve been going to for the past year, their food is really good everything is clean in the store and more then amazing. Recommend you gong you won t be disappointed
Whenever I visit my cousin in the area, I always get food here. I mainly order the chicken and fries (large), today however I ended up getting the seasoned onions on top of the chicken and fries- it was a great call (adds more texture). Sauce wise; Shawarma, BBQ and Garlic Mayo. Keep up the good work, stay awesome and until next time! Cheers! P.S. The food is gas (amazing)!
Sunday night online it says it closes at 12am, we show up at 11:42pm and the guy in the back automatically says we are closed . Not a good impression for a repeat customer.
Absolutely gorgeous
Hello, I would like to thank the kind staff who came to let me in even though I arrived at 11:55 last night and I think it was the best shawarma I had in Toronto.
Horrible!!!! I even got upset stomach and threw up food is absolutely disgusting they smoother my meal with Mayo and not garlic sauce so yuck!!!!
Very happy with the service here. The food is exceptional and tasty! Do give a try of their shawarma plate!
My 3rd time reviewing this place. Complete change of staff. Great friendly place, food is great, nothing negative to say, well done
Most of all, aside from great tasting shawarma, they have an outstanding customer service.
Always busy for a reason, the food is so delicious and well served. Wheelchair accessibility: No Food : 5/5 |
worst customer service ever. they mixed up the order, while requesting to modify the order was showing attitude. Not recommended.
One of the best shawarma spots.
Good place, good food , I ate beef plate and it taste so good
I tried Veg Falafel. To be honest all the falafel I have had tasted almost same. This restaurant is no different or unique.
Very very very expencive....single bottle water it was 2.85 cent..1 can pepsi 3.50 cent chicken shawarma 14.50.
One of the reasons I return to this area is for their shawarma. It s amazing.
been coming to this location for couple years and it s always my go to for shawarma, their shawarma plate is very filling and never disappoints. staff are very polite and helpful as well
I felt like I was scammed. The sauce has water in it. The chicken was hard as a nail. Cant believe I paid $16 for this
Been coming here over the past years. Gülcin is alwaye nice and gives good suggestions on new things to try. Great energy.
Pretty tasty sandwiches
They sell a can of coke for $4. How can you justify this?
The two working girls, whose names I forget, are really kind and polite, they embrace their job very much, as far as I can see, everything is excellent, food and excellent employees
Vegetarian options: Falafel and lots of salad Food
The food was great and the staff were very nice! Ill surely comeback
Bad chicken quality be careful hon. Need to stay focussed about it.
Food is not good, dont go
food is so delicious,perfect service and reasonable price
If youre looking for best shawarma, this is the spot. The revies show that Im not the only one loving their food. Friendly guys, working hard.. to have us enjoy it. Everybody Im in this area I get their shawarma, no place like this in mississauga for sure ! Food
Good shawarma
Pretty average and bland shawarma. Also theres no quality control on the meat. A good portion of it was burnt.
Ordered from door dash. Dont know if it was our bad luck but the chicken shawerma platter we good was just super bland. Not salt too salad had more flavour.
The best shawarma in the city, tasty chicken shawarma and fries, excellent staff, highly recommended. The shawarma sauce it tastes better this time.
order through uber eats the meat is burnt and the rice is not cooked properly its like eating raw rice
Delicious food and good for the price. With my roommate we enjoyed it
Grabbed a chicken Shawarma 2 for 1. pretty tasty, meat to veggie ratio was pretty good. Price was great for a 2 for 1 deal but maybe a few bucks more than I would pay for it by its self.
Fries were insanely soggy and the chicken was burnt literally, I got the chicken&fires plate and just 1 hour after eating it vomited . Please change the oil on the fryers or something
Very unwelcoming, and I even found a hair. This is my first and last time eating here.
I like the food so delicious
My go to shawarma place in toronto!!!
10/10 Best quality, best tasting, best service Food
Pathetic service: I went to this place and there were two guys in the staff. Both very un-welcoming and didn t even bother to take my order. While placing my order they did not even ask whether i want the stuff in it or not. While billing they did not inform me about EXTRA CONVENIENCE FEE they charge on every order just forcefully and unethically/ illegally. When i inquired the guy became very rude and asked me to go away. Do not recommend eating here :(
Amazin service good food
Great food and service!
Best Shawarma in town
Best shawarma in the city!
Amazing shawarma
Food is amazing and good prices too!!
They make the best shawarma in the GTA. Also the food is very good price with a tons of food !
This is my favorite Shawarma spot. Ill come here and get the chicken plate with rice and salad, the generous portions make it worth the price and thats why I come back.
the service here is absolutely amazing and the staff is very friendly and the food is probably the best shawarma ive ever had. its very cozy and comfy in the restaurant and they play amazing music. best shawarma in north york!!!
Great service!!
EXCELLENT.
Taste good
Great service, fresh food. Always a great late night option & great prices!
Very amazing atmosphere and lovely staff they always have positive vibes and will always be my favourite spot to eat!!! Highly Recommend
Very friendly and lovely workers, comes correct with my orders and always giving me a great time.
Worth for the money spent.
Had a disappointing experience at a shawarma place recently. The staff seemed unwelcoming, didnt inquire about customizations, and the service was quite rude. Additionally, I felt overcharged for the subpar quality of food. Hoping they address these issues for a better customer experience in the future.
The food is nice but the staff are not friendly except the guy called Mohamed. The price is not fixed everyone has their own price sometime you pay $$13 sometime $15 for chicken wrap or more. So pls be careful when you are paying. Otherwise the food is delicious
Best shawarma in Toronto
Been coming here for years -- consistently great shawarma! Fresh ingredients, good sized portions. Wraps or plates are both great. Try the lentil rice.
Despite the busyness, the staff were very friendly and understanding. (especially the girl). It is also in a perfect location.
great experience at this doner place! the staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. the food was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. service was prompt and efficient. highly recommend stopping by for a tasty meal!
I would like to appreciate all staff, they are so friendly, helpful and professional. Good price, excellent servise and reasonable price
Good food, great staff and pricing.
The staff are so humble and the food is delicious.Thank you :)
I would rate this 5-star restaurant as exceptional in every aspect. The shawarma plate was a culinary masterpiece, perfectly balanced with 60% delicious meat, 30% fragrant rice, and 10% fresh salad. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Their generosity was evident when they offered a discount, showcasing their dedication to customer satisfaction. Meeting the owner, who exuded kindness and hospitality, further elevated the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Despite any puzzling low ratings, my experience here was nothing short of fantastic, deserving of the highest accolades.
Food that is fast, fantastic and filling!! Falafel , Chicken and Beef!! Ohhh, my!! :)) Food
One of the best shawarma spots in Toronto. Muhammad and mehmet are my fav guys as being friendly and professional. Must give it a try.
good and nice service
Mehmet Muhmmed provided great service
Good size, plenty of meat!
January 21, 2024 7:30pm The guy who makes our food was rude. He works like he has a lot of problems and doesnt like his work. He was very slow and didn t seem to care about the customers. He made us wait because he took the order of the two guys who were next to us and totally forgot our order. He didnt even care, not until we asked where ours was. Your restaurant staffs attitude will surely affect your store. Do something about it. This was the first unacceptable experience we had in your store. The guy was wearing a light gray shirt at that time.
TO MUCH RICE NOT ENOUGH MEAT!!!!!!! HIRE NEW STAFF WHO KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH & TREAT CUSTOMERS WITH RESPECT.
Great portion, great prices, food is fresh.
Great food and great portions.
Amazing customer service and amazing food.
amazing customer service and great food!
Great experience and very friendly! Kid-friendliness: Very kind and friendly Food : 5/5 |
The food was good but the cashier ( the girl ) was very Rude. After paying for the food i went to get a juice and she was asking me exact $3.67. I gave her $3.65 and she was asking me 2 more cents !! She doesnt know we dont have pennies in Canada anymore.
I got chicken and fries plus baklava it was only 18$. They loaded gave a ton of extra sauce when I wanted extra! Huge portion of fries and chicken and decent baklava. Super good value for large chicken fries and baklava being under 20$ with huge portions.
super kind employees and super delicious foods must try
The Food is really good. Good customer service
Ordered a chicken shawarma wrap. Huge wrap with lots of meat and good flavour
Ordered for delivery - rice was overcooked and they pack the salad in the same box as the hot rice/chicken. Embarrassing and silly.
If you ever want chicken over fries or rice? This is THE SPOT. If you are within 40 minutes of this place, PLEASE GO THERE. Authentic workers and authentic taste. The food is consistent and the portions are excellent. Whether you have the munchies or are just hungry, this will satisfy all your needs, with great prices and options. Thank you! I will always be returning to this location!
Ordered Uber Eats from this place and it genuinely got me sick. Was poorly packaged, oil was everywhere in the bag, and the chicken tasted both undercooked and burnt at the same time. Not sure if one of the staff was sick, but Ive been sick ever since eating their chicken shawarma plate. Will never order from this place again.
I went in an ordered a Chicken Shawarma Plate, the Chicken was very hard and stuck together I couldn t even enjoy my food very bad taste as well
They prefer more in cash transaction. They won t take credit only debit or cash. If paid by debit need to pay 50 cents extra. It is a good thing.? For one chicken shawarma $13.50.?
How do you take 2 hours to make one order? You slow in the head?
Amazing place
Mohamed was extremely helpful and kind! Amazing service! Gul was also amazing. They have amazing staff. Would definitely come back!
Great food and fast service. Will recommend
Best chicken and fries in toronto
Chicken Shawarma wrap is very good, among the best in the city of Toronto!
Best Shawarma in the city! I stop here every time I go to Toronto and crave it when i can t have it. Get the shawarma fries with shawarma sauce and hot sauce and add feta. Amazing combo.
The quality of the food goes down when the place is busy, otherwise it would be 5 stars.
Love the chicken shawarma. And the chicken and fries beats every other place out there. Truly. 10/10
Decent nothing special
Pretty good food
amazing people, and of course AMAZING FOOD
Really bad false advertising on uber eats so be careful
Been coming here for over 10 years.
Best shawarma in the city!
