The restaurant is really cute with amazing artwork and decor to admire. THE FOOD: Lentil soup: - The lentil soup was amazing. It was bursting with flavour and one of the best lentil soups I have had in a long time. It was both gluten and dairy free. Falafel - The falafel was the best falafel I have ever had! It was crispy and served with hummus. I really like how the falafels were heart shaped. The presentation was really nice and I would come back to enjoy these. Chicken Platter: My fiancé ordered the chicken platter and he really enjoyed it. The platter comes with salad and hummus. He found the chicken super tender and the salad was delicious. Both of us had hummus and found it robbed mediocre. Halava: - The halava was super sweet and made with pistachio. It tasted delicious and it was the perfect way to end our meal. Would We Return? Absolutely!

Upon entering Tomah I was immediately greeted by the young gentleman behind the counter. I was free to sit where I pleased. He immediately brought water and a cup of tea complimentary. The tea was amazing, full of flavor and sweet. I only ordered Syrian Shwarma and requested an additional drizzle of pomergranate syrup and an order of Muttabal and asked if that was enough and should I order more. The waiter, insisted I try the kibbeh and would bring me one. The food came out promptly, first the muttabal which I can say might be better than when my Syrian mother in law makes it! The Shwarma came out and that was amazing, it was juicy and the spices and dressings where perfect. To my surprise the waiter brought out the lentil soup, kibbeh and falafel to try. The were delectable to say the least. The ambiance during the lunchtime was quiet, however after some time Arabic music was put on, and wasn't too loud, but just right as background noise to enjoy while you eat. The cushions were a Syrian style of sitting with arm rests almost like pillows. I will be back, and I will recommend anyone to come here and get a "Taste of Syria"!

We peeked inside. It was busy and with quite a few Persians. We decided to try it. I am so glad that we tried it. Everything that we ordered was outstanding. We got the Rayhoon trio sampler, Addas Palo, and lamb shank. The trio sampler was basically 3 different dippings and came with a basket of bread. The owner was very nice. While we were enjoying the food, he walked up and greeted. He explained how we could use the trio sampler to enjoy the entrees which really made it even better. Following the suggestion, I put a little bit of lamb sauce over the rice and put a little bit of yogurt sauce over a small piece of lamb, then ate them all in one spoon.... It was amazing!

It started as a little restaurant in 1984 in small, underground hideaway in Waterloo, Ontario. This is yet another new location, with a grand opening on 2024-11-30; that is when we went there. There was quite a party atmosphere with loud music playing. The founder was also there, and we even caught him dancing! They had the same menu as in all other Shawarma Royale location. We just tried their Queen Chicken Wrap ($11.99) for only $4.99 (grand-opening special). It was delicious. It is located in a very small plaza, just north of downtown Burlington. In the same building, Shawarma Royale is on one side and Pinochio is on the other, with indoor seating in the middle. As with other locations, it is an open kitchen so you can see them preparing your food. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom. There is free parking in the plaza's parking lot. Review 2025-017

It looked like a mini event space! Our party of two visited for the first time on a week night, and so it was pretty quiet. Just a few other tables around. We were greeted warmly and seated at a large table for four. They were well-staffed this evening. Someone was cleaning the windows and dusting the decorations -- which was odd for operating hours, but not unexpected for a small business. The food was beautiful! Displayed dramatically with flair and fun. The flavours were great. The mixed grilled platter (for 2) was unlike any other restaurant I've tried -- each meat had it's own unique seasoning and flavour. It is a little smaller than other restaurant's grilled platter. We had to have other appetizers to be full. But we were pleased and would definitely return to try more from their menu!

They were very attentive to making sure we had a great time and enough sauces. I think a tale tale sign of a good restaurant is when they warn you that you're getting too much food, and Maro's did. We didn't care though bc we needed to try as much as possible. My friend had previously gone and they gave her a free salad, so once again bomb service. The food was amazingggggggggg. I'm salivating thinking about it. All of their dips (garlic mayo, hot sauce, humus) literally bussed down in my mouth. The eggplant and artichokes literally took me to heaven. They were so carmelized but once you hit into them, they melted away. I floated away to another dimension with them. Everything we got was amazing and my group was so gluttonous and I don't even care. We also got drinks and they were all amazing. Anyways I would travel back to Canada just for this and buss down once again.

Lol We ordered "Sultan Ahmed Grand Breakfast Buffet" with "Semaver Tea Pot", "Lahmacun", "Chicken Doner Benedict", "Beef Doner Omelette" for brunch. We also paired our brunch with "Mango Ayran" and "Pineapple Mojito", and we couldn't resist trying their fresh and delicious "Pistachio Baklava". Every menu item was fresh, delicious and perfectly seasoned and cooked. We really loved the combination of chicken and beef doners with egg bendict and omelette.

Or app was a four dip platter with bread, there was a red smoky one, a babaganosh, tzatziki, and hummus. All very unique, my fav was hummus. We also had the meat platter for two, which I think could have fed three or four ppl. The chicken was lean, breast meat skewers, the beef was quite fatty, both the shawarma meat and the meat patty. The bulgar was well flavoured. We weee so full we didn't have space for dessert. Overall a very pleasant experience.

I had the falafel pita with fries and it was amazing. I think if I was starving, it wouldn't have been enough, but for a lunch portion, it suited me just fine. And their garlic sauce is devine! We kept having to ask for refills of it because we were all heaping it on our food like it was going out of style. Everyone at our table enjoyed what they ordered, so considering we had a decent smattering of the menu, this leads me to believe that their food is all quite good. I will definitely go here again next time I'm in Burlington!

It came with a side salad as well as a side of white rice as well as 1 pita. The condiments are where the money shot is. Usually they're great. The onion & the Garlic sauce are/were usually fabulous but in this case they weren't! This is where the wheels fall off! The rice was just luke warm, the chicken was dry & flavourless but there was lots of it. The pita was only slightly warm & hardish. As for the service, our server (no name on cheque) was solid & had a great sense of humour. The ambiance was old school & the decor was in serious need of updating. The bathroom was super old & in very serious need of an update as well. This chain has been around for a while. Not a great reflection of my previous experiences with this small local chain. I would go again but definitely not to this location.
