Is a small cozy spot and the meals are hearty and delicious. Recommend by a friend who said that this place has the best shawarma and honestly it didn't disappoint. The portion size was good. Flavor profile was on point. The staff was courteous and helped choose the right options and gave excellent suggestions. Will definitely visit again. read more

Chef's Door - Chicken Shawarma with Rice (On Rozz) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Was impressed by the displayed platter, the food tasted so good that I'm getting this family platter for now on when we have guests. The falafel was tasty and not dried. Will be back. read more

The other reviews previous to this one are quite accurate. My experience happened about an hour ago. I was waiting inline and notice the chef making Shawarma sandwiches but the pita was breaking a lot which, to me, meant their pitas weren't fresh that day so I ordered a chicken Shawarma plate to go instead. The size seems tiny for $11 and I didn't think I would get full but it almost took me down for a good itis nap afterward. I usually eat a lot, I swear! The quality is better than any other in Toronto so far which isn't saying much but not as good as Ottawa. Their garlic paste isn't very pungent. I wasn't killing any vampires anytime soon. Their spicy sauce is spicier than expected. A little above mild, it is good. Very clean and cozy atmosphere. Employees didn't seem very happy but maybe bad day? Satisfied. Try it. read more

Tried this today for the first time. I got the fatoush salad with chicken, almost $13. The plates are tiny, so there was very little salad. I couldn't believe how little chicken I got on top. About a third or half of what I would get at any other place. Flavour was delicious I'll admit that, although a bit too strong, overloaded the dressing. Hot sauce was great. This place would get 5 stars if the portions were correct, I would have to pay $26 to get a plate equivalent to my normal Shawarma places. read more

Chef's Door - a plate of food on a table - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Stopped in for a quick lunch and had some of the best chicken shawarma I've ever had. Everything tasted fresh, the food was served quickly and the prices were reasonable (~$10 for my hummus and chicken shawarma plate with pita). Super spot for lunch. read more

Been going here since the day it opened. Great food and their lunch/dinnaer plate is unique and different from the many other shawarma places located all over the GTA making it a worthwhile alternative. Service is usually on-point. Servers can be terse but are quick and very attentive. Would highly recommend to others. read more

Lots of options. Very tasty food. Always good quality. Had the chicken shawarma salad. Would like it if the chicken pieces were bigger and so will likely order chicken skewers to go with the salad the next time. Overall, very savoury and tasty! read more

My go to place when I have a craving for chicken schwarma. I dont recommend getting beef because it's not on the spit which may make you wonder how long has the beef been sitting in that metal bowl. They just warm it up on the hot grill. The Kofta however is cooked fresh so go for that if you want beef. Back to schwarma, I've had both the pita and the dinner and they are equally delicious. The dinner portion is huge. The hot sauce is spot on. Clean inside for those who dine in! Price is on par with other schwarma restaurants. read more

A decent little Middle Eastern diner was my meeting place for a business lunch. We arrived just after 1 PM and there wasn't any lingering crowd. From what I hear, Chef's Door has quit a few frequent diners, a bit of a following. By default, I ordered the schwarma plate, a bed of rice with salad, some chicken off of the rotisserie, and tsitsiki sauce. The server asked me if I wanted hot or mild. I asked what the hot sauce was, but could not get an answer out of him. I just wanted to know what the sauce was so I could gauge my level of heat. I finally convinced him that I wanted "a bit" of the hot sauce. I suspected the hot sauce was simple Siracha, which asded a nice heat, but nothing spectacular. Overall, the food was fine. Nothing outstanding, but also not objectionable. A solid "A-OK" in Yelp terms. read more

Perfect restaurant for vegetarians.. Chicken shawarma plate had more salad rice and potatoes than actual chicken.. I have given this place enough chances and it's the same thing everytime... For the price it's not worth it.. Might as well drive down the street to pita nutso or even osmows. read more

On our way to the Drive 5 in Oakville. Quick stop for dinner led us here. Interesting item on the menu, shawarma with pineapple. Gonna have to try that some day but this time I stuck with the classic beef shawarma combo sandwich with fries and a drink. My wife had a falafel sandwich. Tasty. Nice big pita, with healthy toppings. Falafel was mild and tasty. Store bought frozen fries. All in all worth the stop. Very pleasant people. Not a big patio. But comfortable. read more

I came here 3 times for service in 2 days (out of towner), and after my experience the 3rd time, never again. I had the falafel twice, 1st time was way different then the first time. I do not like the fact that it is already fried, so not fresh. The chicken shawarma was really good both times. The meat shawarma was great the first time and so-so the 2nd time. When you can't have consistency, that is not good. Also, they need to keep the sandwiches longer on the heating press. The biggest issue I had was the guy who took my order was a d*ck. He asked if the food was for here or to go, I said here. He did not hear me the first time. He asked again and said it in a louder voice for here. He then says to me "take it easy, no need to yell. Relax, don't get mad". I said I never get mad. He then (I did not see it, my friend told me afterwards) said "you can go away if you get upset" and with his hands gestured to go get out. After that, I will never come back or recommend this place to anyone. It also would not hurt if any of the 3 workers I have experienced would smile every once in awhile. read more

Food is very good and fresh but the tables were not clean and the garbage was overflowing. This was this past Saturday afternoon at about 2:00pm read more

I had the Chicken Shawarma Pita and Hummus. This was probably the most delicious Lebanese food I've had in a long time. The pita sandwich went well beyond the typical lettuce and tomato adding an array of fresh and pickled veggies. If you like spicy, let them put the hot sauce on your sandwich....it was great! The hummus was a generous serving enough for two to share. It was dressed up with some spices, chopped parsley, olive oil and pickled onion bits. There were about 15 tables in the place so it got busy at lunch. I would love to go back at dinner and try their Lamb Kebab. read more

I've been coming to this place since it first opened! The chefs door makes the best shawarma and falafels I've ever had to date. The staff have always been nice and courteous every time I've been. Forget going any where else to get your shawarma fix. read more

Checked this place out for the first time. Prices are pretty high compared to Osmows and Lazeezs. Only thing I'll give them is that their chicken is fresh and tasty but even then they cheap out on the quantity. Wrap 6-7 small size and platter for 10-13 taxes in. Definitely better places out there. Worth trying and appreciating other places after. Workers there are also slow and sad not sure why. read more

Young guy made 2 large shwarmas with 90% lettuce, skimmed so hard on the meat, got 2-3 small tomatoes wedges, he even took one off. He ran out of a certain sauce, and just opted to not add it to the second shwarma. Pretty sad. Yet they advertise they are the best in oakville for their genre of food. Doubt it. Edit: didnt even give me a single napkin. This place is sad. read more

I've been to this place many times, first suggested by a coworker at my old job, then tried their offerings at work through their catering. After many visits and chicken shawarmas, mainly, later, I can say it's one of the best places I've had shawarmas. Not as good as Shawarma Palace in Ottawa with their amazing plate size, one plate feeds two and a delicious garlic sauce, but still pretty good. I always get the large shawarma pita. Their service is usually pretty fast as well. The place looks clean, usually. Definitely will go visit many times. read more

Been going for many years. Efficient happy service and great food. Always good for a quick bite.

Best shawarma in town. The owner Abdel is awesome and cares about customers. All sauces cooked in house. He has multiple locations but this is the original. Very well priced and fast professional service leaves you coming back. read more

I really liked the portion sizes and flavour of the chicken shawarma pita. Good serving time, clean, and good atsmosphere. read more

Chef's Door - Inside of Chef's Door - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Terrible service! I called 2 hours ahead to pick up an order. When I arrived they claimed I called the wrong location. I pressed redial on my phone in front of them and their phone started ringing. I then said I would wait for my food and proceed to sit down. 20 minutes later they are looking at me and asked why I was there and whether I wanted to place an order! And they continued to blame me in front of their other customers. Messed up dinner plans for my family so not impressed. Avoid this place. read more

Tried the chicken shawarma and it wasn't very good. Not much taste and it wasn't even warm. Also tried a couple falafels and they were soggy and bland (microwaved) read more

Solid, tasty food and friendly service in an otherwise sad little strip mall. That said, a MUCH better alternative to the Pizza Pizza nearby. The chicken on my shawarma was a little overdone, but all other ingredients were fresh. Got the job done nicely. read more

This was our go to place for shawarma sandwiches (we always got chicken) when we lived in Oakville. Great food, great service, great prices! Am still trying to find a shawarma shop in London that makes shawarmas as good as Chef's Door does. read more

Been coming here for a few years. Came in today and wow portions suddenly got smaller. No longer a good deal. Time to move on!

I have tried shawarma at a lot of other places but in terms of taste, this is the best. It melts in your mouth and the spices are well marinated and taste amazing. The sauces are excellent and homemade. I have taken 2 stars off for the service. The owner, when he is around takes care of his customers. I always order double meat and he ensures that it is done right and the quantity is not stingy. He even gave me free dessert once. However, if the owner is not around, god help you in terms of dealing with his nasty employees. They simply don't give a crap. More than once they charged me for double meat but when I went home and opened the takeout container there was hardly any meat. I paid over 18 bucks for mainly rice and potatoes and very little portion of meat. I always check now before leaving to make sure these guys are not screwing me over and for sure it happened again. When I suggested to the guy that he didn't give me double meat, he had the audacity to argue back and was quite rude. Now I don't go back unless the owner is there. I always call in advance to check. He is a super nice guy but is getting screwed over by his awful employees. An update to my previous review. The service problems have now been rectified. New employees have been hired and i no longer have the complaints. The food continues to be top notch. This is the only place i ever go to for shawarma. read more
