Falafel World is a great family-run restaurant that serves tasty shawarma, falafel, and other Lebanese food. The owners are so friendly to everyone who comes in. They seem to know a lot of their customers, but even if they don't know you, they'll welcome you as if they do. The prices are very good for the quality of the food, and if you go late in the evening, they'll sometimes include a bowl of their lentil soup for free. There's a shawarma place on almost every block in Bloor West Village, but this is now the only one I go to. read more

Not a fan of their chicken plates or wraps. Definitely better ones out there. Low-key family restaurant. Support small business

I like to take out a pita from this place, as it is fast, cheerfully served, reasonably priced, and delicious. The staff are friendly and efficient. My pita is always warmed, a big plus as I loathe cold pitas. I would like to try everything they have, as it all looks so appetizing, but always seem to revert to my usual. read more

Chicken tasted like boiled cardboard. I am not sure how others found it amazing. I would suggest not ever getting chicken at this place.

Oh my gosh how can anyone like this place... the meat on the spit is burnt... not even grilled when cut. It's dry there's not much flavour in the sauce. Had a chicken shawarma. So gross I threw it out half way. I never throw out food. I don't know why I keep trying to find a good shawarma in the city of Toronto. They don't exist. Go to Calgary ab and then till me you have had a good shawarma. Think I feel sick now from eating that shawarma. Blech!!! Uh Oh!!! read more

There was almost no wait time. I Ordered beef shawarma on a plate. The plate part made no difference whatsoever since they still served it with pita. No rice or other sides. Just he beef, tabbouleh, hummus and plenty of lettuce. The beef was stone cold and rubbery. definitely not $11 worth.... read more

I keep going back here, because I think I have some fascination with falafel in general. The service is excellent, they're very polite and friendly. That being said, the falafel dish is kind of a let down. Good falafel I suppose, but the dish comes with two different salads (neither of which has much flavour). The hummus is somewhat tasteless too. It's nice if you're hungry (big portions), but surely there must be better tasting food for this price. read more

The best shawarma you will ever have. The peoe who work there are very nice and always have a smile on their faces. My favourite shawarma place in toronto read more

One of the best shawarnas in Toronto. Meat is nicely done, veggies are fresh, sauces are home made. I'll be back

I have been going to Falafel World for years. The chicken shawarma is incredible and is a very nice change from the bland alternatives available around the city (in my opinion). It is important to note that the shawarma recipe is different than what you would find at the other chain places and I think it is amazing. I regularly make the trip to bloor west village just for shawarma. Also, falafel is incredibly tasty and make sure to try the baklawa (the one cut in the diamond shape, truly addictive) read more

chicken shwarma and lentils amazing. Falafel world was here before all the pretenders

Went there May 27th, 2013, and got a fantastic meal for an inexpensive price. Staff was extemely friendly. I highly recommend.

The best, Jerry, the best! Everything's good, but the hidden gem is probably the Janina.

So I am by no means the absolute authority on all things shawarma or falafel but I know good eats and this place is very good eats (Lebanese style). I have been coming here since oh about 1988 and it is still the same family run business and I hope it never changes, although I did notice the other day when I went past they did repaint the the name Falafel World on the front window I hope there are no bigger plans int he works. I have had this type of food all over the city of Toronto and from different cultural backgrounds and without a doubt this place does it the best. The veggies are always fresh, the meat dishes are spiced perfectly and are juicy and flavorful portions are perfect, not small and enough to fill you without leaving any behind. Pricing is right on point you get a great meal for a fair price and I have always been satisfied, the staff are always friendly and helpful and it feels like I am going to see a friend when I eat here. I am sure anyone else would enjoy it also. read more

This is my favourite place to get falafel in TO. It's a small restaurant so it's basically order what you want and either take it to go or help yourself to the plastic cutlery and limited seating. I always get the falafel plate. Falafel balls are quite large and if you want another pita it's an extra $0.25. The cabbage salad/slaw it great, hummus is good and they don't skimp on the portion size either. My experience has been they always freshly cooked the falafels when I ordered so they haven't been just sitting there. I'm thinking I just might go grab some dinner now. read more

This neighbourhood staple had been offering lovely service, and hands down the best shawarma I've ever had, for decades. If you want the true Bloor West Village experience you must stop in. read more
