    14$ for a dry soulless falafel... Road side attraction I'd avoid next time - drive on by...

    EPIC FAIL I used to love the original Rays food, but this…read morelocation has been getting worse & worse. Even when it opened the food was bland, but it keeps going downhill. The food is now completely lacking in distinctive Lebanese flavours, like they've either cut corners everywhere or the owner (nope, not a chef) has the palette of a camel. . I ordered chicken Shwarma, and my friend had chicken kebab. The meat was so dry it was hard - he LITERALLY couldn't get his teeth through it. My chicken was only a bit better - chewable, but bland and grossly overcooked. I took the kebab back to my terrier. Even he had to chew it hard on his back teeth, then he coughed and looked for water. TRUE STORY! The rice & lentils were mostly just rice, with no hint of the signature browned onions. It was served with some other pretty tasteless yellowish rice, so half my plate ended up being boring rice. The almost grey cabbage was too soft and had no added flavour. The potatoes had become soggy victims of the steam table and lost whatever browned taste they might ever have had. The hummus was wet and over processed. It lacked both taste & texture, and neither it nor the garlic sauce seemed to have ever met garlic. There seemed to be no lemon in ANY of it. Even the Tabouleh just tasted like soggy old parsley. My food was $20, and his was $22. We didn't buy the Baklava. The pastry looked stale, and it there wasn't enough honey (or syrup) to keep it tender or hold it all together. Not sure about the nuts, either. They looked pale the (ahem) peanuts-like. Baklava just shouldn't be made like that. I will never go back and was sad for my friend's failed introduction to Lebanese food. May you rest in peace, old Mrs Ray. I'm so sorry your recipes are also as tasteless as the grave.

    Ordered via skip. Good food, very flavorful and fresh. I…read morepaid $2 extra to double up the portion for one of the two plates I got and they both looked the same... in the same sized bowls. The one that I doubled up had more tabouli, that was it. Thought that was a bit of a small rip off.. Anyhow $12 for a chicken plate is not bad, will probably order again but just won't upgrade.

They are normally packed with customers and have plenty of seating for solo eaters and plenty for groups too. The restaraunt may not be the biggest but it is cozy, colorful, and inviting. The people serving are always polite and there is never a complaint. It's my favorite place to eat in the city when I visit every time.

    Having heard good things about Tarek's, I've had it in my list of places to hit up for a while now,…read morebut only recently stopped by for a late lunch. The location is befitting that of a lunch joint, and I like that they're sticking it to the likes of Subway which is next door in this little strip mall on Robie Street. It's a pretty casual spot with the main counter and open kitchen running the length of the back of the restaurant. Mismatched chairs and tables sit somewhere in the 30s, mostly at two-person tables for the lunch crowd. After surveying the menu above the counter, pictures and prices included, I inquired about the "half and half" plate I had read about online and saw above me. It came highly recommended and came with two proteins, beef and their chicken shawarma. It wasn't cheap for lunch at nearly $14, but the one being made in front of me for someone else looked hefty and well worth so I went with it, grabbing an iced tea from the cooler to have while I waited. With there only being a trickle of other customers at this point, my order was soon called out and I went back up to grab it and upon seeing it knew that my first meal of the day would keep me full for a while. It was loaded with strips of shredded beef and onions, the chicken was surprisingly hunks of meat instead of shaved pieces of meat, curry rice, salad, pita,hummus and tzatziki. The shawarma was a different take than I'm used to but it was definitely good, being tender and moist and with a light flavour from the marinade. The beef wasn't quite as good unfortunately, and although it had great browning and a big garlicky hit, some bits were over cooked and a bit chewy. The salad was like a Lebanese version of a garden salad with big pieces of tomato, cucumber, celery, green pepper, onion, pickled beets and lettuce, with a moderate dose of parsley and a light dressing. Everything was fresh and crispy, even the lettuce for being well out of season, and the dressing added a nice bit of zip to it. While it wasn't ground breaking, the curry rice was a vibrant yellow and had a enjoyable curry flavour, minus the spice typically associated with curried dishes. I really enjoyed the tzatziki, which had a noticeable cucumber flavour to it, which is a refreshing contrast to the blander store-bought versions I'm used to. The hummus wasn't as much up my alley as it wasn't as smooth as I like my hummus to be, but it did carry on the garlic-heavy theme of this place, which I didn't mind. Paying (in cash, as you must) on my way out, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and found myself wishing that other places in the city had meals like this one.
