Price was good: 4 stars Food was below average: 2 stars Service was terrible, borderline rude: 1 star Place is old and need a refresh: 1 star read more

BEST CHICKEN SHAWARMA EVER! I have been to many shawarma places around Toronto and none of them come close to this. Great people too! read more

Right off the bat, the service was super friendly and very approachable. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate. I asked for no tabbouleh and was asked if I would like to try a lentil salad instead (very tasty), otherwise served with fresh hummus, salad, a small side of pickled radish and whole wheat pita bread. Tasty meal, cost was good - would like to try the falafel next! read more

The janina sandwich is unbelievable. I'm so sad I can't find it elsewhere in the city because when do I ever need to come to Bloor West village? If you like eggplant and lentils, and even if you normally don't, try the janina sandwich. Outgoddamnstanding. read more

We have been going here for years, really great people, the owner is such nice guy, makes a little plate of few potatoes & some rice for our little girl, when me & my wife grab dinner. Food is great & it feels good to support a family run local business that is a staple in Bloor West Village. I seen an Osmows is opening in the area, I've had Osmows & there is no comparison, just another chain shawarma place. Falafel world has always been & will always be our go to in Bloor West. read more

The best good ever! Shawarma sandwich and platter is the best. Hafis is super nice makes you feel at home!!

Happen to be in the neighbourhood today, looking for a healthy meal. I noticed Falafel World which offers Lebanese food, which I enjoy very much if it is good. I checked on yelp for help, am I glad I did as I ordered the "Janina" eggplant/lentils sandwich after reading the reviews, it was delicious! The woman behind the register told me the business has been there for 34 years! Too bad that I do not live in that neighborhood, or else I would be eating there often. read more

I work at Royal York and Bloor. I love Falafal world so much I will pay $3.00 subway fare to buy my shwarma and then another $3.00 to go back to work. I have done this many times. This family owned business has been around a long time. I used to eat there while I waited for my daughter to finish dance class.. They are beautiful people. Very polite and helpful. The food is all wonderful...I love all of it! read more

Pretty disappointing as no meat available for a sandwich when we went, only chicken; skimpy portion with few ingredients and soup was barely warm - again tiny portion. They weren't friendly either, so will not return. read more

Best falafel place in Bloorwest village by far. Period. The service is always fast and friendly. The salads always fresh. And they have a long long track record in the area. read more

Twas a sad day when I moved out of the "villah-je" and nearer to mediocrity in mid-eastern cuisine. This was the first place I tried a Shawarma, so I simply assumed that this is what tahini slathered chicken with turnip and onions in a chewy wrapper tastes like the world over. Boy was I wrong. This is the best shawarma in the city. No lyin'. And you can get chicken breast in your pita! (breast meat for my wife; personally I love the various shades of tanned meat raining down from the confines of the rotating spit that I can't help be mesmerized by). Seriously, eat here. read more

Got a chicken shawarma, meat was pre cut in a basket and not cut off the spit, the pita rips on contact from the first bite, very little ingredients and to top it off they don't press it in the grill to keep everything in tact. This place is terrible and an embarrassment to the word shawarma, save your money and go to Shadi Shawarma down the street east of Runnymede and Bloor. read more

The shawarma sandwich was SUPER salty. I wish you could choose the toppings you wanted. Just chicken and the lettuce mixture doesn't feel like a real shawarma to me. read more

what a great place. the guy behind the counter was so fun and generous. my friend and i were arguing about who should pay, and the server pointed at me and said server: "in my country he [me] would have to pay, so i think i must make him pay." friend: "but i know you, i have come here for so long, and i want to pay." we argue for a little bit, but my friend seems to be winning server: "fine, you insist, i will let you pay, but next time he [me] must pay. and he must take good care of you." me, to the server: "what about your country!" server, pointing at my friend "she is more important than that." so smooth! and so right! anyway, we get the falafel plate, and the falafel and that little salad that comes with the plate are excellent. the hummus is only so-so, which accounts for the 4 and not 5 stars. hummus is key, in my mind. after we finished our meal, the server, who i think was enamored with our cuteness, gave us two free desserts and beamed the most winning smile. the people here are fantastic. i will be back. read more

Eating a falafel as I type this, which reminds me to buy an iPhone cover, I am pondering the merits and flaws of this restaurant. Seeing that I am making a mess, an employee brings me over a few napkins, making me feel extraordinarily messy, but also cared for. The customer service is great here, the food is just about average. The falafel itself is moist and flavourful, but not freshly cooked. The pita is fresh but not warmed. My favorite thing about shawarmas and falafels is when they are pressed and get all toasty and warm. The toppings are fresh, the service expedient and the price reasonable. A pretty good falafel place but nothing to set it apart from other places. read more

Worst Shawarma I've ever eaten.. it's literally just baked chicken not shawarma chicken.. dry with no sauce! Never going there again!

I love Falafel World because its right beside Jane station! So when I'm coming home from school super hungry I stop by for my 5 dollar student special. It comes with a shawarma wrap a can drink and a side of your choice (fries,batata,etc) in all honesty I don't find it THE BEEST shawarma, but its pretty good. They make their own special garlic sauce and for me thats a bad thing, it just doesn't taste the same. I also don't like how little toppings they put. They put a wide variety of stuff but very little. Overall though the owner of the shop (you can tell its him because he has pictures of himself proud at work in the restaurant) treats his customers very kindly and I love when he takes my order. Falafel World has very great customer service and they keep the place is pretty clean. read more

Scrumptious falafel, delicious chicken warma. Friendly staff, added a free ball of falafel.

Ok. I'll admit it. Before today, I have never eaten a falafel. That's right. I have just lost my falafel virginity. And, I'm sad to say, it was nothing that blew me out of the water. The place hasn't changed in about 25 years. How do I know (I'm 22)? My dad used to own that very restaurant... But it was European fare and didn't do all that well after he sold it. Oh well. The decor is old and in desperate need of some TLC (or a renovation). Despite this, the place was packed when I walked in around 6 pm. You have your standard options, almost all available as a sandwich/wrap or a plate/dinner. I had the chicken shawarma sandwich, no garlic sauce, with hummous. The good: it was warm. The pita was yummy, the chicken was flavourful and moist. The veggies were fresh. And the falafel was huge. Really huge and filling. The bad: the falafel itself. Maybe it's because the flavours were layered and not mixed. Maybe because the hummous made the pita soggy by the end. Or maybe because I don't know falafels. I mean, if I just wanted tabbouleh, I would have ordered just that. Oh well. The ugly: the soggy bit of pita at the end. It was icky. And messy. I will give falafels another chance, to be sure, but I will only come back here once I've had several other falafels. read more

Friendly workers (mom and pop feel), good value and tasty options. Tried the chicken shawarma (really moist & tasty but FYI they choose the toppings), eggplant, and falafel with hummas. Highly recommend the falafel which is has a crunchy outside and moist centers. read more

worked in the Village for many years and this is one of Bloor West treasures. Schwarma plates beef, chicken, falafels tabbouleh, cabbage salad, hot sauce all are excellent value and great interesting flavours. The hummous is my favourite and there is so much more to try. The staff is excellent never had a problem or seen an issue arise while I attended regularly. Now it is a treat to have something different but excellent to expand your menu of choices beyond burger, pizza etc. A west end Must Try it , you wont be hungry when you leave. read more

The best decision I made today was to get a chicken shwarma from Falafel World! This place is hands-down the best shwarma and falafel place in the city, and it has stood the test of time, having fed hungry Bloor West Villagers since the 90s! Run by a friendly family team, they always remember old and new customers alike, and will make your day with their smiles and out-of-this-world food. For authentic Lebanese food at its finest, check out Falafel World next time you're in the west end! :) read more

Service was really friendly, and personable. Other than that not sure how this place got some of the high reviews though maybe it was an off night when I went but it was a pretty sad chicken shawarma plate. Just didn't have that much flavour in the garlic sauce, hummus or chicken. I'll give it another try someday since I live so close I really want to love this place. read more

This place is very down to earth, if you're looking for trendy decor, it's not for you. However, if you're looking for tastey middle-eastern pita sandwiches I think you'll be very happy with the food they serve. It's basically a fast food lunch type of place, but the food is very authentic and very good! The service is fast, efficient and friendly and their prices are reasonable. I've had falafel all over this city and am very happy with this place and keep going back for more. I've eaten in (even though the eating area could use a reno) and also had their take out. My son is very fussy about his shawarma and eggplant side and he's always declared theirs to be delicious! read more

Great food. Great people. The is a mainstay in my take-out regimen. Service is fast and friendly and the food is fresh.

This place is great! Ive eaten here many times and Ive never been disappointed. Delicious, good quality food, GIANT portions and very reasonable prices. The owners and staff are super friendly and they really go out of their way to make you feel welcome and satisfy your hunger. YUM! read more

Ordered a chicken sandwich. Received cold salty and dry chicken and cabbage salad in a pita. Overall sandwich tasteless and bland. Wouldn't come back at all. read more

The absolute worst middle eastern food i've eaten in all of the falafel places i've tried in Toronto.

I drive quite a bit out of my way to come here. The foods reminds me of being in Lebanon.

Basically a party in your mouth, served with love. Family has been in the neighbourhood for yeeeeears, and took great care of our stomachs when we had a house fire. There's a solid reason nothing has changed about the place in decades. read more

Solid chicken shwarma place, fresh vegetables and chicken isn't as fatty or salty as most shwarma places.

Wonderful food, generous portions and friendly staff. Ask for your sandwiches to be prepared the Lebanese way, it'll take you back to when your grandmother made you a falafel. read more

Consistently great falafel schwarma combination. I don't make it to this neighborhood often enough. If I'm within 10 miles of this place around lunch time, I will go out of my way to get one. read more

Hands down the best, highest quality, healthiest middle eastern (Lebanese) food you can get for a reasonable price. Blows Ali Baba out of the water. Awesome service. Food tastes great and you get only the best and freshest ingredients (unlike others who give you dark reformed meat). Long time fan of this established Bloor West Village jewel! read more

Excellent Falafel, Shawarma, etc. And they have a great variety of other foods too. The platters are HUGE! Owners are very friendly! read more

The people are super friendly, the restaurant is old looking but very clean. But Damn it was cold in there! It felt as if we were sitting outside (it's December) and the food was also ofcourse cold. We ordered a falafel plate and janina sandwich.. The taste was good but again it was cold and we were cold which made it hard to enjoy. After reading some of the raving reviews, I was really looking forward to Hot crispy falafel fresh out of the fryer... But I didn't get what I was looking for. read more

The food is best experienced takeout. I've been eating here for 15 years. One of the best chicken shawarma in town. The original owners are absolutely lovely. The brother or in law who is fat and balding is destroying this place. He serves white people ahead of minorities who are standing in line. He clearly has a complex. He also adds extra charges at his whim. My frequency is getting lower due to him. I don't mind paying $3 more for a plate than a similar place a block away for the white meat. They should not charge extra for replacing 1 salad for another. When I see him at the counter I leave. Very sad decline due to 1 terrible individual. read more

I've been here three times now, and I've only ever gotten the Janina, but it's amazing, super fresh and tasty. Everything across the board is super reasonably priced and the staff are so friendly every time I go in. read more

The Falafels are just to die for here!!! Really really delicious, I know it's just ground chick peas and seasoning...but my mouth waters every time I think about how yummy they are!!! lol! If you are in search of a good middle eastern/lebaness place, this is yet! Highly RECOMMEND!!! DO NOT go to the "Shawama grill xpress" on the Queensway by Kipling tho, I got terrible food poisoning when I was there, and the service is terrible and slow on top of the bad food!!! read more

Food is always fresh, hot and delicious. I'm a weekly regular and love it. A dated place, which is good for a quick lunch or take out... I've ordered from there well over 50+ times and have not been disappointed once. Excellent taste and service. read more
