I got the harissa roasted half chicken and it was excellent. I guess the secret lies somewhere between the recipe and their charcoal grill that they are grandfathered into having.

This is first and foremost a place for ambiance, though the Mediterranean decor and bellydancing…read morecouldn't distract me from the less than desirable aspects of this establishment. The food here was okay, not authentically Moroccan (more than half the dishes were levantine, but I guess the average patron wouldn't know). The best dish of the bunch was the maftoul, which was simple yet tasty. On the other side of the spectrum the panna cotta was terrible, it had little to no flavour and an odd watery consistency. The service also left a lot to be desired, my biggest complaint was that it would take AGES for our food to arrive. In hindsight I understand why there were a lot of corporate gatherings when I was at the restaurant, especially attending around the holidays. I'm sure flashy performances and mildly exotic food would be a hit for the accounting team.

It's unusual to begin a review of a restaurant raving about a side dish, but the dirty rice is definitely the first thing that's worth mentioning. It's so flavourful! This ain't the rice that's added to your plate as an afterthought at your run-of-the-mill shawarma place - it's its own thing! For protein, I've tried both the Beef Shawarma and the Beirut Pulled Chicken. They're both very good, but if I had to choose one, I'd definitely go with the former. That's personal preference though; I don't think you'd be disappointed with either. The restaurant itself is very quaint and spacious. I noticed that a lot of the orders were being picked up for take-out, but I wouldn't hesitate to dine in either. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows will make sure you're getting your sunlight and the decor isn't too shabby either. I recently moved into the neighbourhood and this is one of the first places I tried, and I wasn't disappointed. Recommended!

We arrived pretty late, so we didn't have enough time to explore the menu the way we wanted, but…read morewhat we did order left a lasting impression. The smoked chicken skewers were outstanding--perfectly juicy with a subtle smokiness that enhanced the flavor well-seasoned, and cooked with care. I haven't even mentioned the colliflower which should be in a yelp review on its own. The pitas deserve just as much praise. Warm, pillowy, and slightly chewy with just the right amount of char, they were exceptional on their own and the perfect companion to the chicken. I'd love to know the recipe because they're easily some of the best pitas I've had. A special shoutout to our server, Daniel, who made our first--albeit brief--visit a memorable one. His friendly service and thoughtful recommendations elevated an already fantastic meal. This first visit was enough to convince me that I'll be back, and next time I'll be arriving hungry with plenty of time to explore the rest of the menu.

I had high expectations for Fat Pasha after hearing so many positive reviews, but unfortunately my…read morevisit was disappointing from start to finish. We ordered the banana pudding and the cauliflower dish, and both were major letdowns. The banana pudding had an odd flavor and texture that made it difficult to enjoy. It didn't taste fresh or creamy, and the overall dessert just wasn't appealing. The cauliflower was even more disappointing. It had a strong off taste that gave the impression it wasn't fresh, and the flavor was unpleasant enough that I couldn't finish it. Despite all the toppings and sauces, the dish just didn't come together and left a bad impression. The service was average--nothing particularly memorable, but nothing that made the experience better either. The ambiance also wasn't to my taste. The space felt loud and cramped, and I personally didn't find it to be a comfortable or enjoyable setting for a meal. Considering the restaurant's reputation and the prices, I expected a much better experience. While the presentation of the food looked nice, the taste simply didn't live up to it. Based on this visit, I don't see myself returning or recommending it.

Our server was so nice and friendly. We got the tabule salad with falafel, fried eggplant, and lamb grill. The salad is kind of a small portion but very tasty. The falafel was the perfect ratio of crispy to stuffing. However, they were mini falafels and I believe the regular order of falafels is bigger. The eggplant was the least enjoyable dish because it was so greasy and had no flavor to it. The lamb was cooked to perfection and so tender and flavorful. The grills are also served with veggies and rice. The portion size was perfect. We'd go back again and try some other hot mezzes.

I regret not grabbing any pictures of this but I was taking my order to go. After scanning the menu pretty quickly, I saw I could grab a soup from here. I placed an order for a soup and decided to get some falafel as well. You have a choice of a few dipping sauces and I went with the harissa one. They told me it'd be a couple of minutes before it'd be ready. I stood by the windows to see what was happening on Yonge St but it was a pretty quiet night. They gave me a call out and I was off with my soup and falafel in no time. After getting back to my place, I popped the lids for my orders. The soup smelled great and the falafel looked alright. I started with the soup. It was nice and packed with a lot of flavour. It was also pretty light and what I was looking for. I took a bite of the falafel. I'm unsure how to feel about it as it felt really when chewing through it. I dipped it into the sauce and it still felt a little dry. I finished this during the hockey game and I'm glad it was close. Would grab the soup again and try other things on the menu but would skip the falafel as it wasn't my favourite thing even though the dipping sauce was nice.
