I took advantage of a flyer coupon to try a shawarma pita trio. The shawarma was a tasty, well-seasoned, generous portion with nice condiments especially the lefet. The potatoes were a highlight: well-spiced, very generous, delicious pan-fried and served with a huge dollop of very fresh garlic sauce. And for soft drinks (which I normally wouldn't even mention), you can get a can of practically any kind - how many places offer Diet Doctor Pepper? My one criticism is that I would prefer my food a touch warmer in temperature - nothing was cold, but nothing could be considered piping hot. The place is spotlessly clean, very bright and open - quick-service, yes, but pleasant. The staff are multilingual and friendly. I like that they use real plates and silverware for their dine-in customers. I was so impressed that I asked if I could use a 2nd coupon and get a mixed plate to go. The counter guy grimaced and said usually it's against the 1-coupon-per-visit policy, but he would ask the owner... who said ok. As the owner pointed out, if I am ready to order takeout after finishing a full meal, I must really like the food. The combo had the shawarma and shish taouk on rice and potatoes, 2 choices of very fresh salad (I chose beets and Greek salad, but there were about 10 choices that looked great), 2 servings of sauce (hummus, garlic sauce) and a pita. Another generous portion, in a convenient container (not the awful styrofoam clamshell). I will be back once a week for a combo plate at regular price, which is very reasonable and completely on par with the local competition. They even said they sold kibbe, but it wasn't on the menu. I think it will be worth it to look into the "hidden menu." Although I'm already disappointed that there is no sfiha, I'm sure there will be other tasty treasures.

Upon entering the restaurant, I'm instantly reminded of the late nights waiting at a halal cart in nyc after a night out. This restaurant itself is not the cleanest and rather chaotic on weekend nights. Theres usually a long line to order, but it moves rather quickly and efficiently. The staff members aren't the friendliest, but they get the job done LOL. You'll find a bunch of hungry and probably drunk people sitting at the cafeteria styled seats at night. The food is the main selling point here though. I've gotten the mixed platter and shawarma platter; both with generous servings of protein all doused in a flavorful sauce. Ordered the poutine recently and was also impressed how much they loaded the protein. It was a little on the saltier side and wished they had more cheese curds, but still pretty enjoyable. The fries were also more like small potato wedges. I've recommended this place countless times for almost any point of the day, but they especially hit the spot after a long night.

So here is some good and not-so-good points; - taste of the food is good - food quality similar to some other Syrian/Palestinian places I have tried (nothing exceptionally great , nor bad) - portion size of the main dishes is on the small size - they served us dishes that we didn't order, as we were wondering which dish is which, they came and took them all back with little explanation - they served each of us welcome drink (lentil soup), after-meal sweet tea , and offered us rose water for our hands after, which was nice

The Short Version: Cozy middle eastern restaurant. With…read morelots of different dishes from the Middle East. Food was delicious. The Long Version: My husband and I had lunch here and it was fantastic. We both got the bowl option ($14.99), where you got to choose a base, a vegetable, a protein, and a starter. I had read online that for the base you could actually get half and half of two different options. So I opted for this to try different things. So for my base I got the half bulgur and half Mujaddara (which is lentils and rice), for my protein I got the Musakhan chicken, and for my vegetable I had chosen the spinach but somehow ended up with the Awarma (ground beef) instead. And for my starter I got the fattoush. The bulgur was delicious. It was tender and flavourful. The Mujaddara was also great. The rice was fluffy and the lentils were not too hard, but not too mushy. The Musakhan chicken was so good. It was my first time having a Palestinian dish. I loved that it was cubes of breast meat and very lean, yet tender and moist. It had warm spices to it like sumac and allspice. Like I mentioned, for my vegetable I chose the spinach, but somehow I ended up with ground beef. It tasted good and I'm always up for more protein, so I didn't complain, lol. Awarma is Lebanese dish. The ground beef did taste a little too fatty for my liking, but the flavor was good. The fattouch, which is also a Lebanese dish, was very good. It was romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and crispy pita chips. I thoroughly enjoyed my bowl. My husband got a different combination of items in his bowl. He got the bulgur, Syrian chicken, mixed vegetables, and hummus. I had a taste of the Syrian chicken and it was good. It had a lemony taste to it and also came with potatoes. I didn't try any of the mixed vegetables but it looked like green beans and carrots in a tomato based sauce. My husband really liked his bowl too. We both got a few arils of pomegranate sprinkled on top, some toasted slivered almonds, and a slice of lime with our bowls. Not sure if this is the garnish on all bowls or not. I enjoyed the crunch of the almonds and the tangy burst that the pomegranate provided. My husband thought the lime was a slice of zucchini and bit into it to discover it was a slice of lime, lol. I knew it was a piece of lime so I just put mine to the side, lol. Oh before our meal we got some complimentary pita chips and a sample of their lentil soup. The pita chips are the same as what was on my fattoush. They were nice and crunchy but a little oily for my taste. The lentil soup was okay but way too salty for my taste. I appreciated being able to try these items for free though. Service was courteous and efficient. The restaurant is small and cozy and nicely decorated. It is in a basement unit so down a steep flight of stairs. We were so full after our meals but they had some very interesting looking desserts. They had desserts that looks like a bird's nest and also some delicious looking Turkish delight. I will need to try them on another visit. Street parking only. Review #15 (2026)

I usually will head into downtown to…read moreget dinner, but I was feeling lazy this evening so I did some Yelp'ing around what was near me. I found Twister Burger which was didn't have a large amount of ratings, but they had a big menu so I chose them! Here's how it went. Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right off a pretty wide street that doesn't seem like a main road is this gem. There's no private parking lot so you'll have to park on the street in the neighborhood, but I didn't have a hard time finding space. Once inside you're transported back to like... the 40s? 50s? Whenever the soda fountain era was with the black/white checkered walls, neon lights and the whole thing. Lol. It was cute. The restaurant is fairly small and that's okay! It makes for a more comfortable and cozy feel. I got my food to go so I didn't have to stay long. Service: The gentlemen behind the counter was very helpful and make sure I got everything that I needed. He also helped me since most of the menus are in French. Food: I started off with their Taco Salad, but as of now I don't see it listed on their menu anymore. Anyway, it's basically their now Southwest Salad which contains mixed greens, corn, red onion, avocado, fried tortillas and shredded cheese, served with chipotle ranch. But instead of being in a bowl, it's in a fluffy, crispy taco shell which was very flavorful and enjoyable. It worked well. The name of the place is called Twisted Burger so I had to try at least one of them. I decided on the Trio Diablo Burger which is 130g beef (1/3 lb), jalapeños, monterrey jack cheese, habanero salsa, grilled onion, chipotle mayonnaise and lettuce, and tomatoes. It kinda slid apart in transport, but I was able to put it back together at my hotel room and it was fine. Nothing super crazy or explosive to report. It was a decent burger and satisfied my cravings for sure. The beer-battered onion rings were okay too. Nothing special and I don't think I was expecting anything out of this world either. Most beer-battered onion rings taste the same, so it's good that it's a familiar flavor to recognize. Value: My taco salad was $14.95CAD, my burger was $10.95CAD and my onion rings were $4.95CAD. This is a GREAT DEAL on the amount of food I had for sure. Looking for a cheap date, something quick, nothing fancy, I dig this place for sure.
