Located inside Hasty Market, a supermarket at the South-East corner of the intersection of Yonge St. and Davisville Ave., Flaming Stove offers fantastic shawarma wraps to grab on-the-go for busy Torontonians. I've tried their falafel wrap for lunch on my way to work as well as their chicken shawarma wrap for dinner on the way home from work. The falafels were a bit on the drier side for my personal taste (even though it was during lunch hours so they should have been relatively fresh). On the contrast, their chicken shawarma I could wholeheartedly recommend to anyone considering to grab an affordable lunch/dinner to grab on the go. Their wraps are packed within their freshly baked in-house raj bread, of which you could visibly see them making from the scratch in front of your own eyes. This adds much to their credibility and authenticity while it also brings exquisite flavour and texture to their wraps. I recommend asking them to put every topping inside your wraps as well as their in-house spicy mango sauce, a combination of which brings a truly dynamic mixture of fulfilling flavours within your palate. The chicken meat was not dry at all, grilled/roasted just right to be juicy, tender and flavourful. Their falafel wrap and chicken shawarma wrap both came out to $16.94 each after tax and the portion of each wrap is plentiful to keep you full for a good whole day. Highly recommended.

Decided to grab dinner at the Newmarket location based on a friends raving reviews and I am SO happy I did!!! You walk in to the vision of fresh saj being made (huuuuuge) and the beautiful spread or fresh colourful toppings behind the clean counter! They were busy (which was great to see) and were super friendly with their recommendations for my shawarma wrap! I could tell the guy making my wrap was making it with joy knowing I haven’t had it before ❤️. I grabbed a baba ganoush as well because their fridge filled with sauces, dips and premade meals looked just as impressive! The baba ganoush is to die for! Smoky and chunky and absolutely delicious on the shawarma! Exceeded my expectations and worth my 30 min drive to Newmarket! Also made my evening when I later learned this was Palestinian style as I’ve been looking for this for a while! 🇵🇸

I love shawarma, I’ve tried numerous different places all over the GTA. Flaming stove is the best shawarma I’ve had! The prices are fair, the bread is so fresh (they make it in front of you) and the portions are huge. Because the shawarma is so large they wrap it in two, you literally get two meals. My friend tried the plate which was also delicious. The only problem is it’s far from me, but I definitely will make the trip out there again!

If you are looking for an affordable and fulfilling meal, then this is your place. Their shawarma is huge and it will keep full the entire day. Their special mango sauce is 🤌🏻 Whenever I am too tired to cook, I simply get their shawarma which I split in two halves. It’s so damn good everytime. It’s also at a walking distance so that’s another perk. They make their bread right in front of you so fresh food for the win always. It’s located inside Hasty Market.

The first time I tried widely raved about Flaming Stove I went with the chicken shawarma wrap which was good - but after having their falafel today it is THE. MOVE. So delicious with the added grilled veggies. They’ve got a great selection of prepared bowls and salads, and the hasty market they’re in offers a cool assortment of novelty sodas. Friendly service, and the wraps are big enough to share. The hype is real!

What a hidden gem. Located in the back of this Hasty Market lies a wonderful shawarma shop. They make their own flatbread and it's so unique and delicious. Not your standard pita. I really enjoyed the different texture. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap all dressed and they loaded it up! It's a hefty wrap. I got a couple of falafels broken up and added to the wrap and they soaked up some of the sauce to add a really nice flavour and consistency to the filling. Highly recommend.

The guy with the Afro had a really bad attitude. Im not sure what his deal was but he looked like he hated his life. All the other staff was nicely packaging up everyone elses orders and he hands me my shawarma box with half the salad sticking out of it. I just grabbed it, thinking that maybe they didnt have a bag for the shawarma boxes. But as I was leaving I noticed a another guy with a bag that clearly would have fit this... Mind you takeout is the only option here.

Great place, stopped in here tonight after seeing on TikTok. In the back section of a older Hasty Mart, looks a little beat down but I promise the food is amazing. Bread is absolutely massive, chicken tastes great, it s actually fully cooked unlike some of these other places, and the toppings are exactly what you need. $13.99 for a chicken wrap, it s wrapped in 2 separate wrappers so you basically get 2 mini wraps. Very neat concept. Will try the Newmarket location next! Parking: A weird parking setup next door, but it works

My friend recommended this place because of their in-house sharwama bread since it s always fresh. I opted for a chicken sharwama bowl with only chicken, falafel, and garlic sauce. It tasted really good and just what I needed! I had some questions about the food but the attendant couldn t answer me. However, if you like sharwama and know exactly what you want, this is a great place to try!

I would not recommend this spot. I went inside after reading rave reviews to order a chicken shawarma - 1st - the work area looks dirty 2nd- not wearing hair nets and 3rd saw them add chicken from a container which god knows how long it was sitting out for. I refused to purchase it after what I saw and walked out.

I came to Flaming Stove (inside Hasty Mart) to try the chicken shawarma because I heard it was really good. Im sad to say that it did not meet expectations. I asked for chicken shawarma and ended up with one that had a ton of pickles and it was just way too salty. Also, Im a fan of garlic sauce and the garlic sauce was very thin and not particularly flavourful. Such a shame because I want to find a good midtown shawarma option (most are in Scarborough or downtown) I ordered in the back where they made the shawarma and paid at the front, with the convenience store clerk (wasnt expecting that). Overall, it was $15 (which was fairly standard) but I wouldnt come back here again since Ive had much better shawarma in the city.

True hidden gem. Behind the hasty market, lies a bumping shawarma restaurant that is making super authentic Saj bread on a large hot stone. This isn t your typical shawarma with pita bread. This is thin but chewy, then placed into the press to get crispy. Truly the best vessel to hold all the toppings. Only 2 options for shawarma, chicken or falafel. I went with chicken, and got everything on it, with hot sauce, garlic sauce, and tahini. No hummus option. They slice it into 2 and wrap them individually, because they know how large they are and how likely it will be that you save half for lunch tomorrow. Cost is more expensive than your normal spot, but it s worth it. Will be back and will continue to recommend this spot. Cheers.

I drop by this place every time I visit my family doctor. Here are my favorites: The saj bread is fantastic, I buy it and essentially stock up on it. Their Baba Ganoush is the closest I have come across in the entire city to my first experience of homemade Baba Ganoush by a Syrian auntie, the eggplant component is very strong and obvious (and the main reason I like Bana Ganoush). They do also label it as Moutabbal, so perhaps the other stuff is added. But its not the garbage thats mostly hummus in grocery stores that somehow passes for baba ganoush. They make proper falafels (i.e. not all yellow inside, but has green), but you have to buy the prepackaged and heat it yourself for the right crisp. And I always buy a plate of chicken shawarma. Its good, kinda distinct, stronger on the spices. Uses a mix of dark and white meat. There are other places I prefer more for the chicken flavour. But its definitely not disappointing by any means.

Delicious shawarmas and great value considering inflation and all However, having a 20% tip as the default for online/pickup orders leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth Online orderers keep that in mind, unless youre feeling generous Edit for the owner: I ordered using the Order online button up top and it went through Ritual. Just to be clear, the 20% tip at checkout wasnt mandatory by all means, it was just set as the default, as opposed to 0% like a lot of other establishments for online pickup using the same portal. The problem I have with this is that some people might glance over the order and unknowingly hand over a 20% tip for a pickup order, which I think is excessive for pickup (this is even a bit much for dining in). You can say that the fault is on the orderer for not reading the fine prints before paying, but this doesnt sit well with me. Maybe it was overlooked when you set it all up who knows, just wouldnt want that to foil an otherwise great shawarma experience

Flaming Stove has earned quite the reputation for itself in Toronto. Tucked in the back of a convenience store, their shawarma wraps are better than most of their competition around the city its on the same tier as shawarma Ive eaten in the Middle East. The shawarma itself is perfectly cooked and seasoned nicely. Its served in saj bread, which is a large flatbread akin to roti or dosa. The large wrap is needed for the array on ingredients they pack into the sandwich! Unfortunately there werent roasted/grilled vegetables available when we were there (based on other reviews it seems to sometimes be an option) but the ingredients that were available (tomato, lettuce, etc) complemented the meat nicely. My favourite was the pickled turnip. The sauces were all good as well, although the hot sauce was milder than I was expecting (next time Ill go for a double dose). One of the main negatives is that only one staff member assembles the sandwiches, so you might need to wait in line (especially now that the secret is out about this place). One potential workaround is that they have a second location in Newmarket, which I intend to visit to compare with this restaurant. Overall Flaming Stove is a great shawarma spot and worth going out of your way to Davisville to check out.

I m not being dramatic when I say this is the best shawarma place I have ever been to. And I m also not being dramatic when I say my boyfriend has tried over 75 places and I only try the ones he raves about. This place is SO fresh, they make their own saj wraps which are so light and tasty, it s nice not being so full of bread when you re done eating. They have an awesome selection of fresh vegetables and unique sauces. I have spoon eating the garlic sauce and amba sauce because they are that good (weird I know). Another awesome thing about this shawarma restaurant is that they actually carve the meat off the spit.. many places cut corners and will just grill it up these days. I will come here forever, it is truly the best shawarma I have ever had.

A place hidden in a convenient store. The entire place is quite clean comparing to most of the corner stores. The food is decent but not overwhelming. The shawarma chicken is good. The salad is mediocre. This box is $20. I also bought hummus and baba ghanoush. Liked the hummus but don t recommend the ghanoush, too much salt.

Hasty Market / Flaming Stove is à truly hidden gem in DAVISVILLE, that definitely worth try, at the back of the store with lots of findings, you can see the FLAMING STOVE, the best local halal dish. There s dine in only in summer they are mostly take out, I Totally suggest the baba ghanoush and the wraps Vegetarian options: The highlights of flaming stove is certainly the vegetarian food Kid-friendliness: They have a special kids menu

Stood at the counter waiting to order for 15 minutes while the two employees fumbled about at a pace so slow that calling it movement seems excessive. For seven of those minutes the main employee was having a moral crisis over the cost of fries, going back and forth from the register to the screen, printing it out and taking it somewhere, back to the cash, back to the screen. No one even acknowledged my existence let alone take my order.

I had the kafta wrap and was pleasantly surprised with the herbs and seasoning and portion size. A beautiful Ballance of heat and spice. The saj bread (made in house) was the perfect bread for this sandwich. Possibly the best Ive ever had. Eat here one time and I am certain that you will be back. Very professional staff.

This is, strictly speaking, not a cafe at all. This is a department in the store. But here they make fresh pita breads by hand, which are then filled with shawarma! And shes so big! And such delicious shawarma! In addition to shawarma, you can take French fries. You will be given your order in a package, which you will need to pay at the checkout when leaving the store. You won t be able to eat shawarma inside the store, there s no place there. But outside the store there is a small courtyard with tables, chairs and a trash can. All this is under a canopy from the sun. We sat there and ate. I don t know how people feel in winter. Shawarma is beyond praise, I was delighted with the freshest lavash! Without the sign I would not have found this place; I was looking for a cafe. And this is a store. The store is very cramped, but the stroller gets through. And the selection in the store is huge! You can also buy Turkish sweets and other takeaway dishes there. / This, strictly speaking, is not a cafe at all. This is a department in the store.

Super low key neighborhood secret. They are in the back of a corner store and turn out absolutely wonder Saj bread, shawarma and falafel dishes. I had the chicken shawarma wrap and it was one of the best takeout versions in the city, imo. There s a small patio with a few tables outside the store for outdoor eating. Great option for a quick bite - lots of flavour and freshness.

The best shawarma in Toronto period. If you are looking for shawarma then this is the place to go. The chicken here is succulent with amazing spices. Their garlic sauce is out of this world. The portion sizes are ginormous and all other ingredients used are tasty. Its truly a hidden gem in Toronto. The best part is their SAJ bread which they make IN HOUSE and you have the option to buy tons of it. Attached is the picture of their wrap which is my goto. ITS LITERALLY THE SIZE OF MY ARM :). I always get one extra full portion of chicken.

It is a hidden gem worth discovering. Their generously-sized Shawarma wrap, featuring freshly baked bread, is perfect for sharing at just $13. The chicken is not dry at all, the toppings are diverse, and their hot sauce adds the perfect kick. Its a must-visit for a delightful Shawarma experience in Toronto.

Got a chicken shawarma wrap. The chicken is good, but everything else very mediocre. The wrap is too big and it has so much lettuce that you don t get to taste the good chicken.

As rated by blogto and other reviewers its so far the best shawarma in Toronto City undoubtedly. I am proud to belong to this neighborhood. The setup is minimal but what you get in return the shawarma is absolutely amazing. The rice bowl and saj wrap both are mouthwatering and delicious. The mango (amba) sauce which they prepare is exclusive at this place so do try that as a topping.
