    Chicken shawarma wrap (half shown)
    Brandyn T.

    This shawarma spot is tucked at the back of the Hasty Market by Davisville. I've heard some high praise for this spot so came by for lunch a few times. You line up, order, and take your food to the Hasty Market front counter to pay. FOOD (3/5) My preference for eating shawarma is on fries, however they primarily offer their shawarma and other meats wrapped in homemade saj bread. Fries were another $3.50 which I opted out of. It's rolled on a huge piece of saj with all sorts of toppings like lettuce, tomato, radish, onion, garlic sauce, and tahini. Then it's lightly grilled in a panini press. Flavours were good but not amazing in my opinion. The way it was assembled was also uneven and resulted in meat not evenly distributed and some bited just purely saj. VALUE (4/5) They give HUGE portions of food, and half the wrap was enough for a lunch meal. I do wish there was a bit more meat wrapped in but good value nonetheless. SERVICE (3.5/5) It can be a bit confusing to order especially if there's no clear line. Staff is generally really helpful explaining the ingredients and toppings. OVERALL (2/5) I know some people say this is the best shawarma in the city but for me it didn't meet that expectation at all, and fell short of satisfying my shawarma craving. Underwhelming imo, but you get huge portions. There's also some novelty in ordering at the back of a convenience store.

    From now on, whenever I hear the term "hidden gem" I'll be thinking about Flaming Stove. I have never heard about this place before and probably would never have found it if it wasn't for a friend visiting from Vancouver. She did her research! This place is hidden in the back of a convenience store and known mostly by locals. Many of them passed through while we were eating at one of three tables. Judging from the conversations we overheard, quite a few customers were also coming here for their first time. On the tail end of a food crawl, my friend and I decided to share a saj (traditional Middle-Eastern flatbread), filled with chicken shawarma and all the fixings. First of all, the saj was huge, probably close to two feet in diameter! We watched as it was being assembled and loaded with all kinds of fillings - lettuce, tomatoes, onions, turnips, sauces, and then shaved rotisserie chicken. Wow! It was then rolled and toasted whole before being cut in half. It tasted amazing! All the ingredients played well together to create a delicious sandwich. Every bite was flavourful. We loved it! They offer a variety of specials during the week, including Thai, Jamaican, Indian, and Cajun dishes.⁠ I'm sure we'll be back!

    This was a bit of a hard one to rate. I ordered from here because the place had gotten such awesome reviews. The size of the shawarma wrap was HUGE - it came in two separately wrapped packages and honestly that was the size of two shawarmas. It was good, there's no doubt about that. However, I hadn't been expected the kind of curry sauce or strong curry flavour that came with it. I like my good old-fashioned Montreal-days shawarma wraps and so for me, having curry flavour in there is all a big No-no. Can I see how others might enjoy this? Absolutely. It was packed with ingredients and seemed like quality. Did I like it? I mean... not really, though admittedly it's because it wasn't what I was looking for in a shawarma wrap. So I guess if you're me, you'd rate it three stars but if you were someone else who enjoyed curry flavour with your shawarma, you'd likely be giving this a 4 or a 5 star review.

    Seasoned Grilled Supreme Chicken Meal
    Madison H.

    I had the Seasoned Supreme Chicken Meal $18.74 plus tax on Ubereats. It was skin-on gilled chicken with seasoned rice and grilled vegetables (zucchini, sweet potatoes, Tomatos). The rice and grilled vegetables were super tasty. The chicken was ok but slightly on the dry side for me. Overall, it was good I would prob come back if I'm in the area.

    Saj Shawarma
    Alex F.

    I had the shawarma and let me start by saying the Saj is very good, I really loved the consistency of it. I ordered the shawarma with everything in it including all the sauces, i was excited because it was very big in size and I was really hungry haha and also read a lot of great reviews about this place. When I finally tasted it, I really liked it but not fell in love with it... I felt a lack of flavor, wasn't able to taste the meat that much, it gets lost with all the other flavors. It's a very good shawarma but not the best I ever had.

    Went in a windy day after a friend's recommendation "a hidden gem inside of the hasty market", maybe it's pandemic they have reduced the container from a square container to a smaller round container, not sure if actually was smaller portion tho since it was packed with food. There were lots of sauce choices but I went with tahini and garlic sauce, with a tiny bit of mango curry sauce. I ate it right away outside of the hasty market, but the shawarma and the rice were all cold. I had to pack it up and take it home to reheat it. That was disappointing. After heating up the food, other than the soggy veggies everything else taste pretty good. The garlic sauce is definitely on point and there are so much meat. However I think it gets a little plain, I jus think there could be more flavors as the other shawarma plates I have eaten elsewhere. In general it was filling and satisfying, but I don't think I would go back.

    Chicken shawarma with super hot sauce
    Arri Y.

    Decided to try after so many recommendations. Chicken shawarma wrap was very fresh and flavourful, and tasted very authentic, as they bake there own saj (wrap) in house and ingredients are fresh and elevated with a variety of spices. A bit pricey (just over $10 after tax), but the portion is quite large (maybe a meal and a half) and nice to try out. Expect a bit of a line around lunchtime.

    Okay, this place definitely deserves 5 stars! I've tried both the Chicken Shawarma Platter and the Shawarma and both of them were amazing! The portions are huge here and definitely worth the money. They have many dishes to choose from which is also a huge plus. Staff here are pretty friendly. The place itself can look a bit more neater/cleaner, however it's in a grocery store so I guess you can't have best of both worlds! Definitely recommend this place!

    With so many glowing reviews, I had high hopes. I was doing errands along Yonge Street so decided to check our Flaming Stove for lunch. As mentioned, it's in the back of a convenience store. I have to give it to the staff; service was excellent. They were very welcoming and quite efficient as well. It was Friday so the line was long with take out orders. I ordered the chicken shawarma with fennel salad along with some tahini and garlic sauces. For a generous portion, it was $8.99 (before tax). The price is right as you can make two meals out of it. I found the meat and vegetables missing something. It could have been more flavourful. Mind you, it was edible. I opted not to get the hot sauce, but if I visit again, I will see if adding hot sauce to the meat will add flavour. There's a seating area/patio in the back so you can eat in. Good for: lunch, cheap eat, shawarma

    Chicken Shwarma Salad
    Michael M.

    Friends have told me about this for years. I never wanted to believe that amazing shawarma was in the back of a convenience store. Well, I was surprised, to say the least. This was, in fact, the best shawarma I've had. Something about the flavor is incredible. The portion was big and the service was fast and the people were kind. No tabouleh for the chicken salad, but it was still good for me. I'll be coming back for sure!

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

I ordered a latte and grabbed two goodies for the road, a raspberry croissant and a ginger molasses cookie. The staff working were welcoming and friendly and my items were ready rather quickly. Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top. The cookie had the perfect amount ​of chew to it and the ginger on top added an extra burst of ginger. It was lovely. I'm so glad I found this cafe on Yelp and I highly suggest you pay them a visit. I'm still dreaming of all the pastries I didn't get to try.

This place looks like a fairly typical breakfast spot, offering a good amount of seating, large menus for both breakfast and Lunch, and of course, a ton of different pancake options! I'm usually not someone who orders temporary menu items or specials, but the second I saw the S'More Toffee Lava Pancakes I almost had a heart attack, so of course, I ordered the stupid pancakes to avoid such an problem. The food didn't take too long to come out, and they looked even better in person than they did in the menu. Maybe I'm just a little over enthusiastic about these pancakes, but I can pretty confidently say these may of been the best pancakes I've ever had. They were big, fluffy, and this plate did not skimp on the toppings at all. Overall, Stacked Pancake & Breakfast has definitely become a go-to spot for me when returning to Toronto. The food here was phenomenal and even though it took us almost 30 minutes for someone to give us a bill and let us pay, the pancakes were too good for me to get hung up on that.
