1214 King St W, Toronto, ON M6K 1G4, Canada
Service was very friendly and the lady was very nice - this is their strongest point. They have about 5 tables, but I noticed most people order to take out. The food was good, and the portion size was just right. They do have combos that include fries and a beverage
Super generous with the portion and everything tastes so good and fresh! Both the chicken and beef were tender. Fair price considering the overall quality and it’s enough to cover two meals. The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly, exceptional service. Highly recommend. Great spot in the neighborhood, will come back!
The best shawarma restaurant I have tried in the GTA. Really tasty shawarma plate with chicken that is cooked just right, huge portions, affordable, and great service. I live in Mississauga now but try to make the trip every time I am in the area
Super warm welcome when you walk in! Huge chicken shawarma plate, everything delicious. The kind owners even let us try some kebab and bring some hot sauce home. Will be back!
The only gentleman behind the counter was friendly and helpful. It is a clean and organized take out restaurant with about room for 20 people to eat at tables. I look forward to coming back to try other menu items. We enjoyed the chicken shawarma sandwiches.
Definition of a hidden gem. Non-franchise, family owned. The owners are a wonderful couple and are always striving to keep the customer happy. The portion sizes are amazing and the price is more affordable than other shawarma spots downtown.
Amazing flavor. Amazing and super friendly staff. I got a chicken and falafel mixed wrap and I devoured it. Only gave 4 stars bc they stuffed my wrap way before the chicken was ready so it got super soggy and fell apart while I was eating it. (Still finished it Cus yummmm yum)
one of the best shawarma places in the city. Cheap, delicious and most importantly the owner cares about your satisfaction and the food quality. He will remember your order and knows what toppings you like and don't like even if you haven't been there in a month. Everyone who works around here loves this place and sometimes there's a line out the door, but then you read some 3 star reviews from people who came here once and ate a samosa and didn't like it. This review is to set the record straight - Habibi's is pure quality and exceptional service. Get the chicken plate, or 2 wraps and get extra garlic sauce. If u know u know
Very worst situation of hygiene.. price doesn t matter, but one lady is working with one glove and no any care. Really surprise to see it. Not recommended Food : 2/5
I have been going here for years. The food is amazing and consistent and the owner is lovely, and it is well-priced - highly recommended!
Wonderful service, the folks behind the counter are so friendly and kind. The gentleman making the plates took such care at arranging the plates, it was lovely to see!
They serve the best shawarma. Loved every bite of it. A must try.
A true hidden gem! The shawarma platter is usually big enough to feeds both of us. The meats are flavourful and juicy. The lady and the chef are super friendly. Definitely one of our favourite places for a quick tasty lunch in Liberty Village/Parkdale area.
Not worth the price, didnt get a whole lot of chicken or sides. My Sharma looked like a cigarette it was so skinny. Very disappointing especially with the reviews of this place.
Shawarma was amazing, but fries were undercooked, could of had more crisp to it, overall very satisfied.
Today I wanted to try shawarma in this cafe, but unfortunately I had to refuse the order because the woman who prepared the shawarma used only one glove and with the other hand open and touched my shawarma. She reacted to my remark with a big look when I left the cafe and addressed this problem to the owner of this cafe, who by the way was smoking at the entrance, which is not acceptable, and he did not apologize, just like the cafe employee. so I went next door to Toronto Shawarma where I always buy shawarma, there are more toppings and more meats. And most importantly!, the employee uses both gloves for his hands and the owner of the cafe does not smoke in front of your face near the entrance!
I love this place. It reminds me of the Lebanese food in Ottawa and Montreal. Most places in Toronto are horrible or give tiny portions. This tastes great and they are generous. The guy below talking about liberty shawarma has no idea what hes talking about. That place is terrible chain food. He probably works for them.
Best tasting shawarma Ive had so far and Ive had a lot
The food here is incredibly delicious, fresh, and made with love. Great family owned-and-run shawarma place!
the worst service i have ever received they re extremely racist and made jokes about my eyes..i am chinese. They acted as if i couldn t hear them i am so incredibly offended i didn t even get the food anymore.
I would eat their chicken shawarma wrap all day everyday. This place is a hidden gem. Very tasty and it feels down to earth.
Food was great, owners were friendly, will visit again in the future
Good food. Great price and owners are friendly.
Great value, great service, friendly owners :)
Oh my goodness gracious, my taste buds are still tingling from the absolute culinary bliss I experienced at this shawarma joint. I had the shawarma wrap and cant even begin to describe how unbelievably delicious and juicy the chicken was. It was as if the gods themselves had descended from Mount Olympus and imparted their culinary wisdom upon the owner of this establishment. But thats not all, oh no. The owner, bless his soul, was the friendliest and most welcoming man Ive ever had the pleasure of meeting. I swear I fell in love with him the moment he greeted me with a smile and asked how my day was going. Such a charming and charismatic fellow, I couldve spent hours just chatting with him about life, love, and of course, shawarma. But back to the food. The tanginess from the pickles and pink turnips danced in my mouth, while the velvety smooth toum and tahini got sturdy on my tongue. It was a flavour explosion that I simply couldnt get enough of. I found myself practically inhaling the shawarma, desperate to savour every last bite.
Good very crunchy toppings
Excellent food and service!
Simply amazing, delicious, and super generous. Such a Parkdale gem!
This place is a gem. Owner is so nice, food is great, portions are big, and the price is very, very reasonable. Definitely worth a visit!
I think this place has the potential to be the best shawarma place in Parkdale BUT THEY HAVE TO LAY OFF THE SALT. THE TURNIPS AND PICKLES? OVERLY SALTED/BRINED THE CABBAGE? SALTY THE GARLIC SPREAD? SALTY EVEN THE LETTUCE...SLIGHTLY SALTY! THIS PLACE IS SO CLOSE TO HAVING IT PERFECT...BUT THE SALT! WOULD GIVE IT 5 STARS IF NOT FOR THE ABUNDANCE OF SALT! Service is always great! Whoever is behind the counter is always attentive. Atmosphere is pretty barebones. Dont expect any bells and whistles when it comes to decor/the interior.
Just wow. The chicken shawarma plate was to die for. Will go back.
Food was amazing staff was so kind and so wholesome. Great place 100% guarantee
My favourite shawarma, definitely a hidden gem. The portion is more than enough and always yummy!
Amazing experience and very nice workers! Chicken shawarma wrap is 10/10 and not expensive!
Habibi fr
Falafel wrap was delicious!
Owners are so kind and generous love them and the food is top tier!
One of the best and cheap shawarmas in Toronto. Even though it is cheap they have not sacrificed on taste and quantity. Best customer service and I love this place .
Very friendly owner and staff worker. Good conversations. Shawarma was good, could have been a little better with less veggies but I enjoyed it and will be back. The thoom ( garlic sauce) didn t taste like how it should but like I said I loved it and will be back! The falafels were pretty good too.
THE best shawarma place in the city. Amazing food and even better service. Habibi really cares about your satisfaction!
Super fresh ingredients, very generous portions, falafels made to order, and garlic sauce was authentic toum - not to mention owners were kind and lovely! Go for the chicken shawarma plate as opposed to the wrap for better value if you are deciding between both. Would definitely come again!
Fresh and no weird ingredients. Lovely guy, best garlic sauce, falafel and dolmades. Excellent value. No bad reaction to food as someone with sensitivities.
Fantastic food.
Very nice owners. I think this place has the most affordable shawarma in town.
Hidden gem of a spot in Parkdale. + Food prep station is kept immaculately clean. Fresh ingredients as well. + You get an insane amount of food if you order the plates. The guy often gives you more food than the container can handle.
10/10 Taste, 10/10 portion size, 10/10 price , and 10/10 customer service I have worked in a few shawarma restaurants.. so I can confidently say, this is the best Shawarma place I have been to in Toronto. Its comforting to know there is a good shawarma place you can always count on! And not over priced!!
Great shawarma and very friendly service
Best shawarma in the city! So fresh and flavourful. I crave this every day!
Freshness and flavor are second to none. Awesome spot for a fast snack or hang out and grab a big meal. Local and affordable.
The most authentic Lebanese shawarma I have encountered so far in the GTA. The owner and staff were very friendly. Was glad with the cleanliness, quality, price, and portion of the food. Was able to get a shawarma and a canned drink for under 10 CAD, will be back!
Best taste, Big meat portions, and very fair price. Very nice owners too! I go several times a month. This place is a gem.
Best chicken shawarma Ive had in a long time. Portion sizes are huge and the service is amazing!
The shawarma rice platter is my favorite such a good value, you get a mountain of food. The owners are amazing genuinely nice people that care about their food. Highly recommend you try it at least once.
Wow, just wow. I was looking for a quick bite that satisfied my cravings and found this gem of a spot. Certainly one of the best shawarma places I ve been to on both coasts. The woman behind the counter was extremely friendly and the food was seasoned expertly. Portions were very, very good, and the price was too fair (I would say even a bit low..). Will definitely keep coming back to this place!
Ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and the mixed shawarma with rice and salad. Also added small box of Baklava for dessert. Generous portions, reasonable price, and very tasty. Will return.
Ordered for the first time and never will back there, the food is really have no test.
Great owners! Amazing food and service! Support your small business owners! The spicy shawarma is definitely a win!
Big portions
Soo good! Fresh, fast and flavorful. Great portions and really friendly service.
Owners very nice but Shwarm was awful, def wont be goin back. 5 star service but 0 star food.
Best shawarma in the city, hands down!
So delicious, best shawarma I had in awhile thank you.
Good price. Good portion. Good service. Good taste
Great food for great value!
Very nice chef owner!
Great spot
Had a shawarma plate here I really enjoyed it, great price/value massive portion and tastes good! Glad that I gave it a shot I will come back for sure. More importantly owners seem nice, not stingy like other places! I hope you guys do well during these difficult times.
Excellent quality food prepared with care. One can taste the difference. Beats the rest .
Their garlic sauce is the BESTTTT!!!! And I even have had shawarma in Egypt and Jordan. Their portions are solid and the food tastes great.
So delicious! Hidden gem
Really nice family that runs this place. Good food great prices
Just started working in the area and decided to pop in here... Might be the best chicken shawarma Ive had in a while. Ingredients super fresh, and the owners are lovely. Look forward to ordering again!
I thought I had my go to Shawarma place in Toronto until I came across Habibi Shawarma today. Delicious, made with care and backed with excellent customer service. My new go to and it should be yours too!
Excellent food for excellent prices . If you are around liberty village this is the most reasonable place to eat your lunches . The staff is cool as well.
Not the nicest to eat in but for takeout it is impossible to beat the value. The chicken shawarma plate is great and they load you up with lots of chicken!!
Great quality and service!
I usually go to Liberty Shawarma, but after reading all the reviews decided to go here a couple days ago. The people who left all the 5 star reviews did so 100% because it was just cheap. The food itself was pretty bad. I walk in and all the ingredients are always pretty much empty. 2 tomatoes left, a couple cucumbers etc. I ask for a chicken wrap and upon eating it it was full of chicken membrane and bone, which I kept having to take out of my mouth. The inside also is really outdated inside. The women washed her hands, which was a shock to me considering the location, but ya definitely not good food. Only benefit here is that it s dirt cheap. The drawbacks is that the interior of the place and food quality are also cheap, so you kind of get what you pay for. I d much rather go to liberty shawarma and pay more for good wrap or plate.
Good quality
Honestly the best shawarma dinner plate Ive ever had. Nothing even comes close. Perfectly seasoned and melts in your mouth mmmm.
Went here when it was closing but the nice person behind the corner opened it up for me and served me. Food was good too! Would go again.
THEY ARE OPEN!!! Went to office after 4 months to pickup few stuff and saw this place open <3 so just FYI they are open! Support local! and this place is worth every single penny. Enjoy!
Great attention to food quality, great prices, and a nice guy.
Tasteless food and rude staff
Great to have the best shawarma back! Highly recommend
The quality of food is very good. The price is reasonable and competitive, the owner is easy to talk with and there are no crowds or loud music. The garlic sauce is garlicky as others have stated but that is in my humble opinion good. Simply make a personal request to suit your tastes. Interior is simple and clean but could definitely use an update.
Out of all the shawarma places near/in Liberty, this is the tastiest one. The owners are very friendly and dont hesitate to accommodate your customizations when ordering. The prices are pretty affordable, definitely perfect for a lunch or quick dinner. I definitely recommend this place.
Place doesnt look like much. Salad was ok but the chicken shawarma itself was great. Huge portions was a huge plus.
Tasty food, reasonably priced friendly service
Unfortunately the lights went out and I had to wait about 15 minutes for my plate. The wait was definetely worth it! Delicious and great people
The garlic sauce is incredibly garlicky! Perfect for their chicken shawarma, which you get tonnes of on the plate.
good price , good hours for ultra late foody
Really love this spot! Authentic and delicious. Try to get the male owner to make your wrap, hes more generous with the filling than the woman, though theyre both extremely nice.
Best fallafel and shawarma in Liberty Village +++
Started working nearby and came to this shawarma joint and the man that served me was super friendly and polite. I ordered a large chicken shawarma and it came in this tiny box.... but dont be fooled. He stuffed the box with fresh veggies (lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, beets + many more) and then he stuffed the box with chicken to the point where the box could barely close! The chicken was super tender (compared to numerous other ones Ive tried in North York, Scarborough, Markham, Richmond Hill) and his garlic sauce was out of the world... super flavourful and very garlic-y! However, for those that do not like your food salty.. you may want to stay way from the chicken shawarma. There was a fair amount of seasoning and for a guy who likes his food salty, I found it just a tad too much. Definitely recommend this local joint based for their chicken shawarma!
Love this place. Food is always great. Owners are beauties. Good prices.
Amazing food and service. 3 yr old customer
Tasty and reasonable price
Amazing shwarma at good price.
Super yumm
Absolutely the best Shawarma in the city. The proprietor and his wife are extremely friendly and congenial . Every dish is carefully prepared and attention is given to detail. The portions are huge. Thank you Habibi.
bad service, takes too long bad food
Great prices, great price and lovely service! Owners are friendly and food never disappoints, always tasty and good size portions.
Its blessed
Wished they had more toppings and other salad replacements and sauces to be honest . Owners cool. The quantity of food is perfect for the price it is. The Garlic Sauce is TOOO STRONG if you really don t love that strong Garlic taste in food. ALWAYS GET THE PLATE FOR YOUR VALUE !!!
Amazing food always. Super friendly and big portions
Great food and customer service. The place seems clean, and the ingredients are organized nicely.
Generous amount of toppings. Would be great if they were on delivery apps!
A short walk from liberty village and you can find a real bargain of a lunch. like.undre 8 bucks. Falafel, Sharma and other traditional Lebanese stuff. Decent quality and decent service. The decor is a.bit run down, but what can you expect. Times are tough, and it makes me happy that small businesses like this are still able to survive against unfavorable odds.
They have some good, juicy and tasty Shawarma wraps!
Love the shawarma from Habibi. Customer service is always great. Thank You.
The best middle eastern in the neighborhood. Avoid the garlic sauce if you need to interface with humans that day. It is delicious but pungent (made with lots of fresh garlic).
Great shawarma, great baklava, great price. 11/10 would return.
This might be the best chicken shawarma in the city.
So tasty and such good value
One of two shawarma places I will only eat at Downtown Toronto. Very affordable dinner plate prices with good rice, seasoned meat and vegetable selection in large portions. Check it out!
Super garlicy, delicious, good portions. The owner is also a good guy!
I asked for an extra dash of chopped cilantro and they said they gonna charge 50 cents for it. Ridiculous.
Love this place! The owner is amazing and can tailor an order just the way you like it at no extra cost or hassle. I love the dinner plates, unbeatable value for this area. Try it and tell me Im wrong.
Always a great shawarma and a warm smile!
Delicious food, generous potions, and very friendly staff. Everything is always packaged to go, in Styrofoam.
I usually dont get full with a plate, but this guy just toped up my plate like he wanted to get rid of his food lol. Dont look at the luxury, awesome quality food and felt the generosity. Thanks.
Very good service and food, not so many options.
I like Habibi but they keep raising their prices more than I feel they should. When I first went around late 2015 I already thought the price was higher than it should be. Since then its gone up 3 more times. This went from being a place I go to about once a week (since its near my office) to very seldom.
Not a real shawarma. Probably one of the worst tasting ones in Toronto Gave two stars because the staff was nice and friendly.
A very excellent shwarma place. I recommend getting the plate over the wraps (same small generic wraps as most places). Some of the best falafel in the city Ive tried, made to order. Beef is very tasty. Lots of toppings, hummus is on point and they have a great garlic spread.
Love the chicken shawarma. I go there at least once a week. Friendly staff. They even remember what i order so I dont even have to ask.
Love this place, love the owner. Good guy. Great food.
Pretty nice place, food is good comparing to alot of other Shawarma places.
fantastic service and the best shawarma, this guy is seriously a boss and you should come here to eat
Nice takeout. Not very tasty, but eatable samosas. Great, fresh shwarma. Not expensive.
Best flalfel in Pardale so far ive been eating here for over 2 years I enjoy it every time . very clean place .
The owner is such a lovely man. Very kind and always makes great food. Their garlic sauce is delicious and their shawarmas are great.
Good food on king Street West
Is it open on sundays? The food is good and the owner is nice
