Fantastically fresh food that's family-friendly…read more Food: Had a couple of dishes to share, starting with the garden salad that was very fresh and cool, perfect for a home summer day yet with a hint of sweetness that made it bright and vibrant. The hummus with mushroom was also very unique, it tasted very earthy and balanced the pita very well, providing some chew and meatiness to the dish. The pide was also very nice and crispy, and you can taste each ingredient separately on the pide yet it all melds together with the fragrant spices combine it all. Service: There was plenty of seating available in the restaurant, and the people were all very friendly. As it was our first time, the server helped provide some recommendations and walked us through some favourites on the menu. Atmosphere: The place was a nice and clean, but nothing spectacular in terms of design. Seats were comfortable enough, although the tables were fairly close together.

There is construction on 400 so it can be tricky to get here. You might have to go one exit passed Steeles and come back but it's worth it. Because of the time I went , there was only on other person in the dining room. You can see back into the kitchen. I like that be because the dining room usually smells pretty good. The server was from Turkey and he had a bit of an accent which made me think the food would be a little more authentic. On the recommendation of the server I got the Cokertme Kebab. It doesn't quite look like it does in the menu picture but it was really good. The beef strips were well seasoned and tender. The yogurt complimented the beef very well and the chips added good texture. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

This place is a 10/10 for me. The food is always good every time I've been there. Recently I…read moreordered the chicken mandi with salad and rice, probably one of the many great dishes they offer there.

What a great find. It's a Lebanese owned bakery/Middle Eastern grocery/shawarma place all in one. I…read moresaw mouloukhia leaves for the first time in ages. Spotlessly clean hot counter. Great lachma bi-ajeen, manakeesh, different types of stuffed fatayers including my favourite one with Turkish style sausage (SOUJOUK), feta, spinach, you name it. They have a ton of flatbreads including the most paper thin lavash I have ever seen. Polite people. We will be back for sure. Nice find!

Pies here were honestly pretty mediocre. While they did have a decent flavor, with a strong kick of…read morelemon in the spinach and good seasoning on the labneh, the actual dough just wasn't right. It was both too squishy and too chewy, and lacked the flavor I expect from a fatayer. Baklava tasted more like sugar than like nuts.

I have been going there for years and never seemed to disappoint. They have few TVS scattered around where (on a normal business day) you can kick hack and watch a game while having a beer or two, they also have foosball and a pool table. Few years back, they used to serve shisha which was a great addition to the menu, but that was changed after the hookah ban in the GTA. Highly recommended

I saw Ali Baba's on Bloor street, and my sister recommended this restaurant chain. So I ordered the "Wed Special Of 2 beef Shawarma for $11.99. " I ordered one chicken Shawarma wrap to eat in, and the beef for take-out. The chicken shawarma was spiced up, with veggies and was very delicious and satisfying. I can't wait to try the beef shawarma tonight

The staff does an excellent job, They warm up the pita first, put an opening through it, cut shawarma and heat it on grill more. Once it is ready they put chicken in pita and all the yummy salad type of ingredient after it and they even put more chicken to it after the salad which I have never seen anywhere else. Their attention to detail is very much appreciated. It is super affordable too !! Whenever we are around that area this is our go to place to. I want to try different things in the menu too but their chicken shawarma is so good not sure when I will order something different from this place, lol. Highly recommended.

Definitely not a repeat.
