Serving delicious shawarma and falafels worth driving up for. Try our popular Family Platters and enjoy a delicious mix of everything on our menu with your family and friends!
My bro literally makes the best Shawarma in the entire GTA area. Garlic sauce is top tier. You are missing out if you never try this place before.
I wish if I could give less than 1 star but this place is very cheap when it comes to giving alternative options. I wanted their Friday special which was 21.99 for two platters so I ordered two chicken platters and the guy preparing the order asked if I wanted rice I said no rice, only salad and chicken, and he said that will be 14.99 for each meal. it will cancel the deal. I have never seen anything like this before. I have been to Naan Kabob, Bamiyan and Ali Baba restaurant before, and if a dish comes with rice you can substitute it for a salad with no extra charge but this place is so cheap they don’t allow other options and try to over charge you. The guy behind the counter was very rude. The food was below average. They drenched the food with so much sauce that you can taste more sauce than the food. That shows there is no flavour and it’s very bland.
Ordered via DoorDash. Food was good and fresh! Couldnt pick up the chicken wrap as it was torn when I opened it but didn't care lol, ate it with my hands and fork Along with the fries, nice veggie heavy wrap. Beware of the pickles and vinegar on the salad if you don’t like that flavor
We’ve ordered the family platter multiple times, and every time I am so impressed with the quality and freshness of the food, the beautiful presentation, and the portions! Great value for money, we always have leftovers. Staff is so friendly too and ordering is nice and easy. Highly recommended! We’re lucky to have them in our neighbourhood.
Awesome food and the specials are incredible value. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tasty lunch or dinner. Quality ingredients that make me feel good afterwards. Best thing on the menu is the chicken shawarma
Update: 3 to 4 stars Ordered a couple times since my original review and they've been better each time! Their chicken is really delicious, cooked and seasoned well, shaved from the spit as it should be. Their shawarma poutine is amazing,.along with their chicken on the rocks - just wish they had the latter available for ordering on uber eats. OG review: Decent shawarma at a reasonable price. Meat portion was quite small for the wrap, definitely needed more and the distribution was off. Overall taste was good and well seasoned.
Amazing value! You get a huge meal for a really reasonable price. Very flavourful, and the portions are super generous. Near the end of the meal I did find it to be a little heavy because of all the sauce, so I might ask for less or to have it on the side next time (but that’s just my own preference). I saw that they have a special for $30 family platters on Sundays, which I have to try! One of the best shawarma places I’ve been to in the city for sure.
Very flavourful food. Highly recommend. The family platter was a lot of food! Definately call in advance if planning to do pickup. This platter is so full that the stuffed grape leaves are hidden under other things on this platter. Everyone agrees it was very good. I will go back! Staff at location were friendly.
Tasty Falafel, reasonable prices, good people!
Favorite shawarma place in the east end. They are quick, friendly, flavors are fresh & always good prices/daily specials.
Outstanding food, more of a takeout vibe than dine-in. Best had hot and fresh. Succulent tasty kebab and flavourful food
First time ordering and very happy. Good was ready for take out at the time we requested. Was delicious! Crowd pleaser, everyone liked it. Will definitely order again.
Delicious and fresh veggie platter :) I devoured it! Huge portion. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Flavours are so good. Love that they don t put the garlic sauce on top of the rice
One of the best shawarmas in the city!
Always a large amount of food thats great quality and tastes absolutely amazing!
They told me the price of the samosas that I bought but didn t tell me how much it was in tax and made my food before me paying which meant that I had to pay for that $9 in total without getting a notice that after the $7 it would be $9
The food is decent for decent prices. However, I do recommend that you try to get your food as warm as possible, as the food can sometimes be cold due to the different combinations of salads they use.
Good food and value. Nice folks working there. Prices do NOT include taxes in case anyone is wondering haha Food
The sauces, chicken and portion size are great! Would recommend the chicken deluxe wrap & chicken kofta wrap. Vegetarian options: Bunch of veggie and vegan options
I ordered off skip. Got a chicken shawarma, was good nothing to special I wish the meat was a bit more juicy. Flavor wise it was good soild 6 out of 10. I will definitely try again.
Kebab is one of the authentic ones I tried. Clean atmosphere and amazing food makes it different the ones I tried before
Great portions. Good taste. Little salty salads
Great place..From the day they opened their doors
Got the chicken shwarma wrap. The price was good but I dont recommend getting it. It tasted extremely sour; the pickled vegetables overpowered everything else including the chicken.
Excellent food for big take-out orders. I ve had the big family platter three times over the last three years and it has always been great.
Not the greatest experience, although staff attempted to make up for it. They put hot sauce on the wrap despite explicitly requesting only garlic and tahini sauce. Service was very slow, waited over 10 min for 3 wraps. However, like mentioned above the staff was kind, i was made a new corrected wrap and let me have a bottle of water free of charge.
No frills simple place, with great service and amazing food. The lamb kofta is amazing.
This place has some of the best tasting shawarma in the city, very flavorful. The staff are friendly and nice. If youre hosting a large group of people check out their platter dishes they are fantastic and reasonably priced.
One of the better shawarma plates Ive had in Toronto, would recommend
Best Shwarma in this part of the city. Staff were super friendly too when I was there. I ll be coming back for sure
Kababia is just up the street from where we live and I got to say it s such a great place to have in the neighbourhood. I got two platters I got the smaller platter which I think is about $67 and the large platter which is $99 and I got the add-ons of the falafels, fries and the potatoes $13 xtra. It also comes with hummus, a garlic sauce, hot sauce & tahini, lots of fresh pita as well. I wish I took pictures of it, but everybody dug into it before I even had a chance (there is many photos of the platters in other reviews). They make fresh to order which I love and the owner Abdul is very approachable and he can help you sort out what you need especially if you have vegetarians, he said he can even separate the meat from all the rice and the veggies on the platter. I had 10 people mostly young adults (who eat a lot ) and we had leftovers for 4 lunches the next day that I packed up for take away !
Delicious chicken shawarma plate!
Garbage food and rude behaviour
We always enjoy our meals from Kababia. Falafels very fresh, people very friendly. Both the garlic sauce and the hot sauce are delicious!
Amazing food! Great prices. I love their platter with different types of rice and meats. It is perfect for a party
We ordered the family platter for 4 and had leftovers. Generous portions, excellent flavour, FRESH ! Thank you so much! We will be back!
The chicken platter was good, including some small samosas is a good idea, also putting humus on the plate would be good. Finally, a few spicy peppers would be nice, the small green ones. It might be nice to get a pita with the platter. Also, my poutine was really good. I was surprised how crispy the fries stayed, even down to the bottom of the box. Kid-friendliness: They were very friendly to my son.
Best shawarma period. Also love getting the family platter for gatherings.
Great food. Absolutely love their shwarma .
Tasty shawarma. Good prices. Fast service. 4 stars because the inside atmosphere for sitting down and eating is lacking. Love picking up from here for dinner though!
Amazing Food!! I love the Shwarma Salad (Chicken) and the falafels!!
Just got 2 falafels for lunch- my husband and I loved them. Nice clean place, owner / staff are friendly and welcoming. They also have fantastic daily specials. We will be back soon
amazing food and very great staff. The price is also right. The dining space is not very appealing but don t let it deter you. The food is absolutely amazing. You just have to bring it home. Only other negative note is their pita bread. Often not very fresh.
Cant even begin to say how incredible this place is. The food is so good I am looking forward to dinmer just so I can come back and grab another Shawarma. So tasty Well priced Excellent customer service Clean Parking directly outside
Ordered a chicken shawarma plate and it was so delicious! Asked for the hot sauce and it added a very good kick. Very generous portion and was enough for dinner and lunch the next day. Service was very friendly. Would love to try their family meal next time!
Two falafel wraps. Taste was absolutely there. Good and warm service.
Had the shawarma poutine here. Tasted really good. Highly recommended.
Nice people and good food :)
Kababia never disappoints! Fresh food and very good quantity! Our favorite ls are the vegetable platter and falafel wrap. Its always fresh and the people working there are always super friendly!
Great service, delicious and fresh meals. The platters have become a staple for dinner once a week.
Fake reviews! I just received my order from door dash it s nasty and stinks wouldn t feed it to my dog. Also I called to store to make sure there will be no onions in my food they even though the meat has cooked onion in it. How unprofessional are you not to mention it to a customer with allergies!
I liked the falafel wrap here and after ordering twice on delivery apps, I decided to go pick up in person one time. And twice since then, I had to remind the person behind the counter to change the gloves to make my food because he started on my order right after assembling a meat platter. Definitely off-putting, which is a shame because I liked the falafel wrap. Made me wonder how my delivery orders had been managed and if there had been cross-contamination. Don t think this will be an issue for meat eaters though, so there s that!
We had catering provided by Abdul - the owner of Kababia for our firms lunch. The whole process from the ordering to delivery went very smooth, with his assistance till the last minute. The food was delicious and I was congratulated for choosing such a great restaurant :) . Abdul, thank you again for your support and for the amazing and wholesome food, and know that I am so grateful for having so much patience with all my questions. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested into getting a glimpse of the authentic Middle Eastern food. Thank you !!!!
Very good food!
Place is filthy and the onwer with the big head and sharp teeth was creeping my daughter out. Will never go back that dump
Absolutely banging falafel wrap 9/11 stars
Good food. Great service. Fair pricing
Consistently good food and great value
The toppings didnt seem to be fresh. The wrap was sloppily put together.
One of, if not THE best kebabs in the city. Delicious and affordable.
Good food! Ill be back for more. They have shawarma poutine and its delicious! You have to try it!
De montereal à Toronto J ai visité ce lieu dernièrement, franchement je déconseille vivement, les personnels sont très aimables mais par contre y avait un vieux barbier monsieur qui n était pas du tout aimable et parlais mal avec les personnels alors que eux ils font leurs travails en excellent état, je déconseille ce restaurant !!!
Shish taouk was tender, garlic sauce and hot sauce were amazing. The entire plate was fantastic. Will go back for sure.
The vegan falafel wrap is SO good. Vegetarian options: Vegan options Food : 5/5 Recommended dishes
One of the best falafels in the city would highly recommend 10/10
Zero chiken i do not like to eat them it is not well prép-red and the staf dont know how to speak
The shawarma in kababia that i ate last week with my family made my tummy hurt. It hurt so much and it felt really bad as if the chicken was old.
Food is so fresh I always order chicken shawarma. The owners are lovely, you can tell they care about the quality and service. Best in the city!!!
I would give zero if I could. I m confident the food here poisoned me. Worst shawarma and customer service ever..The food was not very good quality. On top of that, there was dirt on top of the counter. Food
I got the chicken shwarma wrap, the chicken was amazing, very flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The garlic sauce was very good. I ended up getting a bottle of water with my wrap and with their student discount my total was $8
I have tried the shawarma and wished it was done better. The shawarma had big slice of chicken which is the complete opposite of what you would expect! The garlic sauce was absent, a pita bread was used. Safe to say I wont come back.
FOOD WAS SO GOOD
Amazing owner and very good food and priced perfectly
Delicious, flavourful and well prepared shawarma. This is my second time ordering from Kababia and I am now a loyal customer and will be ordering shawarma here from now on. Keep doing what you re doing! Perfect!
No matter how many places in the city I go to for a falafel, Kababia is always the best! My go-to spot.
The falafel wrap significantly exceeded my expectation for a quick budget conscious falafel/kabob place.
Delicious falafel wrap! Friendly and fast service
The beef was so hard to chew!
I got chicken shawarma on rice and it was so delicious! The staff were also nice and the store has a cozy vibe
Food was not as pictured. Randomly Indian/south asian spiced rice and chicken - was not authentic arabic/middle eastern seasoning. The Chicken Kebab/Kofta was good hence the two stars rating. Servers were also confused. Again a lot better options available on Danforth.
Vegetarian options: All the vegeterian are fresh and nice Food
One of our favourite places for lunch.
We love Kababia! We order from there all the time. Its one of our top ordered restaurants. Love the platters, especially the falafel platter, and garlic potatoes with the most amazing sauce. Everything is always fresh and tasty, with big portions. My picky kiddo is obsessed with the grape leaves.
Great food and service!
The platter is so huge and delicious. Lots of fresh ingredients to balance the meat. So good.
Delicious food and friendly staff.
Delicious take out offerings!
Love this place. We always get take out. Such good value for money and the food is delicious.
Excellent food, excellent value and excellent service!
Eaten here so many times, and often purchased the platter which is a great value. Tastes homemade and the staff have always been wonderful. Every time Ive ordered the platter when hosting friends, we got great feedback. So grateful to have this gem to close to home. Dietary restrictions: Dairy
The family platter on Thursdays and Fridays is one of our favourite treats. The flavours are fabulous, quality is terrific, and the portions are very generous.
We have ordered from Kababia a number of times. The food is always fresh and delicious and the platters include a ton of food. So yummy and a great addition to the east end.
We love the family platter, something for everyone in your family. Always delish, love the sauces. Warm and friendly service. A great addition to the community.
My family loves getting family style platters from Kababia.
Kababia serves the most delicious falafel platter I ve ever had! I ve ordered this dish multiple times and it never disappoints! Jam packed with falafel, rice, potatoes, salad, pickled turnips and cabbage, and tahini and garlic sauce - fresh and flavourful! Great service! Will be back!
Lovely food, the family platter is our favourite, something for everyone in the family.
I can t rate Kababia high enough. Every single time we have had incredible meals, wraps, and when friends come from out of town we make sure to have an early meal take away from Kababia. The result? They always beg to have a second. If we can t fit it in they order take away when they leave to eat in the airport. Worth your time, and worth your accolades. Oh and they are lovely. Dietary restrictions: I can t recall but I know several of my guests have multiple restrictions and had no troubles at all!
We have had the pleasure to have many of the dishes at Kababia. I often get the chicken salad sharma, but our family has enjoyed the falafels, a variety of wraps and daily specials. We have been really happy with quality and value of everything we have had. Staff is really nice and welcoming!
Food is delicious and the family platter is extremely generous in its serving size. Our family loves it.
I love Kababia. The food is delicious, and the staff are very friendly. Highly recommend!
We were so happy to find a place in the neighbourhood that does a good falafel wrap. Big fans of everything weve tried so far!
Food is so good! It s our go-to for take out
Weve done takeout from here numerous times. Food and service were fantastic every time! Our fav is that ginormous and yummy family platter!
Great food with service. Looking forward to try again sometime soon.
The food at Kababia is delicious! We have ordered platters to take home and it is so delicious and they provide huge generous portions.
This is my go-to when ordering for a large group dinner at home. The platters are so impressive and guests always love the presentation. It was my thanksgiving meal this year for 12 people!
Im so lucky to be right across from Kababia! Their shwarma and falafel wraps are soo good and always delivered with a smile. Their weekday specials are also such a good deal so Im often there on Tuesdays for the falafel. :)
Love this place. Great food, service and always ready when ordered. Food is consistently well prepared and freshly made!
I love this place. The staff are so friendly and the food is delicious and such great value! Do happy that Kababia is in our community
Really excellent food and incredible value!
Great food! Highly reccomend!
We order from them often! You will not be disappointed!
The food here is great. Fresh and so much of it! A neighborhood gem.
The family platter, our go to, is simply fantastic! Food for days and the flavours are exceptional. Would highly recommend! The lentil soup is phenomenal!
Amazing food...I love it.
Great food at a fair price. Family owned business, providing lovely service with food that has always met my expectations.
Great food at a fair price - always tasty! Employees are great and super friendly!
Honestly so grateful to live close by. The guys behind the counter are attentive and kind every time I go, no matter the time of day. The meals are always a good price -- I usually go on Tuesdays for their deal of the day. A true staple to their stretch of the neighbourhood.
Amazing food and great people! I wish I could buy their pita chips by the truckload.
The family platter is fantastic and a great bargain for our family of 4. They are very happy to put the meat into separate containers for us since we have one person who is a vegetarian. Very tasty food.
We have ordered from here quite a few times now - always get the family platter and add the falafels & fries as an extra. Tonnes of food (lots of leftovers), amazing value for money, and a delicious variety with something for everyone. Our kids love it, as do their friends who have chosen it over pizza as an option when theyre hanging out at our house!
Delicious food. Great value and service. The family platter is food for days!
We ve had their family platters several times and it s always been so delicious. It s a great value that usually contains several servings for our family. Their sauces and dips are all SO GOOD. Highly recommend.
Excellent middle eastern. The family platter is insanely good and great value :) Will go back!
Go to for a great family platter. Food is delicious and services is always friendly.
Ordered the massive family platter. It s a show stopper when you bring that to the table. Great value and super tasty. We will definitely order that again
Amazing, delicious food. The best shawarma/mid east food in the city.
We love how fresh all the food is. Fresh ingredients, always tastes freshly made and not heavy. Extremely generous portions and very filling on top of being tasty. We love the family platter, a full meal and enough for delicious leftovers. Vegetarian options: Great falafel, rices and salads Dietary restrictions: Other than the pita, suitable for gluten free
Vegetarian options: Yummy veggie platters! Food
Our family has loved this restaurant since opening. The food is fresh, delicious and the value is amazing. A true gem on the Danforth!
Their food is hands down the best. We always get the platter and it is a great value but also tastes incredible. There are so many things on the platter and everything tastes so good and so fresh. Cannot recommend it enough and the staff are always wonderful to deal with. So grateful to have this place in the neighbourhood.
Great meal, service and quantity - we had lots left over for another meal for 6
The platter is so delicious!! Can t recommend enough! An east end treasure.
Love this place. Their lamb kofta wrap and chicken shawarma are my favourite!
Great place. Love the chicken shawarma and the family platter is great value.
Looooove this tasty food, and I m always amazed by how much food we get! You won t be disappointed, except when the leftovers run out! Kid-friendliness: We did not find the spices too strong so our young son was able to handle several of the flavours. Not everything, but he s learning!
We have had their family platter a number of times. So much food! Every family member loves it, including the pickiest child. Leftovers for days. It s just so very tasty fresh and authentic. We recommend. Kid-friendliness: It s a huge platter of rice meat veg and dips. Everyone gets to pick what you want, and you can easily plate it so nothing touches for picky kids.
We love the food at Kababia! We have ordered their family platters for many events and every time they have been impeccable to work with and their food has been delicious! Thank you!
Amazing food from a lovely family-run restaurant! Everything is very fresh and delicious and they are so accommodating with special requests! Our faves are the chicken kofta, shish tawook, shwarma, and my kids swear they have the best fries in town!
Nayeem and the family run business at Kababia are incredible. Highly recommend trying them out if you havent! We always get the platter. Always. Add extra meat. Add extra turnip. Add more pita. You ll have leftovers and they are equally as delicious the following day. You ll appreciate the quality and service. Check them OUT!
We love love ordering Kababia
Love this neighbourhood gem. Everything is delicious and the platters are perfection every time!!
We always order here when we are hosting for large groups of people. The quantity is just right and the quality is always good. The presentation of the platter is also very nice. We highly recommend this place for an event or for just a family night dinner, they have two different size platters and it is our go to place!
Great food value and service
They ve been an awesome addition to the hood since they opened. Always friendly, always generous portions, tasty meats, great sides and crisp veggies. Love them!
I was introduced to Kababia when a friend ordered a family platter for a grad party! So good! I don t love super close but when in the area I always drop in for a quick bite. So yummy!
The food here is SO delicious.. have never been disappointed with an order. And the generous portions of garlic sauce are just the icing on the cake!!!
Great food. Weve got their family platter multiple times. Great way to feed a crowd with different dietary needs.
We have ordered the family platter numerous times. It s a total crowd pleaser, and incredible value for money. Do yourself a favor and get the side of fries - the kids will love them!!!
Delicious food, friendly service, and my husband swears they have the best hummus in town.
My family and I have enjoyed takeout from here on several occasions and have always had friendly and excellent service. Weve had the family platter which comes with so much food. Everything was so tasty and nicely arranged. Would highly recommend.
My husband and I have ordered the family platter a few times. Love it!!
Kababia has the most wonderful platters. Great for company or days of leftovers! The owners are also warm, and great community members.
Ive been a customer for a few years and have never been disappointed by a single meal. Everything is always super fresh with generous portions.
We love Kababia! The food is flavourful, the portions are extremely generous and the staff are lovely. Weve been many times and will be coming back soon!
Wraps are generous and tasty. Toppings are fresh.
Great food! I always get their chicken platter and my wife gets the veggie combo. Some items are a little hot for my young kids but were building up their tolerance Also great service! Vegetarian options: Great falafel and grilled vegetable combos.
I have ordered the Family Platter multiple times. Great value, and delicious. I have also ordered wraps for dinner that were also great value and delicious. Ordering was easy and the pick up time was accurate. Service was great. Im a repeat customer and will continue to be one.
Great food really well priced. Have ordered their platters a few times and theyve always been delicious and serve a lot of people!
Great food! Always fresh and tasty!
Very friendly and great food! A great spot on the Danforth!
We ve tried everything from a wrap all the way up to a family platter. Everything we ve had is delicious, fresh and great value for what we ve paid. The shawarma salad is my current go to order for lunch.
Great food and service.
I have ordered the family platter several times for different friends and family and it has been fantastic every time. The food is delicious and plentiful! We always have leftovers. Weve called ahead to order and it was always been ready on time for pick up.
We took out dinner tonight. Everything was SO fresh! Fantastic food and great people. Highly recommend!
Consistently delicious food at a great value. Love this place.
We ordered a large meat platter and a large falafel and grilled vegetable platter for a family event. It looked beautiful, tasted delicious and there were plenty of left overs. Highly recommend.
Felt like I was having leftover of last night. Overall food was too worst to eat. I don t know it was too sour to eat. Though the staff lady was very nice and friendly. I love shawarma that s why I like to explore new places to taste different kind of Shawarma but if I speak frankly I haven t ever had such worst food . Total money wasted
Got meat when I ordered a falafel wrap for pickup. I know someone else who has had the same experience last month. Just a heads up!
So so. They wrap shawarms without opening a pocket which to me either shows their bread is not fresh, or they dont know what they are doing. decent ammount of chicken and topings and chicken was pretty good
I LOVE THIS PLACE! Has nice food, nice staff especially the staff named Samira. Shes nice with me, my family, and all the people that were there! Thank you for this nice experience. I hope this becomes my most loved restauarant (I think it already is)
Very nice place! Nice staff especially the great staff Samira!!
This is a cute spot with an amazing lentil soup! Also love their falafels
Affordable, tasty and rapid!!!
It was a random rainy lunch day. Stopped in for something handheld. The man behind the counter was friendly and suggested the chicken shawarma. It didnt disappoint. It was one of the most flavourful pita/wrap of any kind, Ive had in a long time. Good portion, great flavour for an excellent value. I will definitely be back. Thank you.
Beef shawarma wrap with fries inside is delish.
