Shawarma and Falafel are delicious, fresh, and humongous. Some of the best in the city. The staff was nice and service is quick. This place, tucked into the back of a Hasty Mart, is the definition of hidden gem. read more

Best shawarma and falafel hands down in Toronto. Hidden gem in the back of a hasty market. Fresh homemade wraps, toppings and just sooooo delicious. Other food options available, daily specials and good salads. Worth the drive for a chicken shawarma! You're welcome :) read more

My work is right next to this place and it's been an absolute staple for lunches. Generally go for the chickened shawarma or the falafel salad occasionally trying the lunch specials( the curry is amazing). They have their own signature amba sauce which I also have bought to use when I'm cooking at home. If you happen to be there on a Thursday combo half salad half rice with beans with chicken shawarma read more

Flaming Stove - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

At Davisville & Yonge, Toronto - Absolutely NO RATING Ordered Shawarma dinner, 3/4 of container ALL lettuce - I guess girl thought I was a rabbit; little rice and extremely little meat. Ate there many time previously, the male servers always did good job but girl 2nd time same problem. The meal I received was expensive since paid $10.00 for 85% lettuce. WATCH carefully whenever girl serves you. Spoke to Manager or Owner who didn't care - in other words not his problem so DON'T waste your time or energy speaking to people who don't give a dam about their clients and are not educated enough to keep their clients happy. Couldn't post Review unless I gave them a star but they deserve NO STAR. read more

EPIC SHAWARMA RECIPE lettuce, lots of pickles, turnip, lots of coleslaw, double meat, lots of curry sauce. I've eaten many shawarma in many places and many lands, but damn that was a fine combination! Definite bookmark!! read more

I can't speak to the Shawarma but the falafel is hands down the best falafel I ever had in my life. I wouldn't change a thing. The saj, falafel, roasted veg, pickles and sauces are all delicious. (Sauce-wise I usually go for a combo of tahini, amba and garlic sauce.) As other reviewers said, one wrap is enough for two people. I always have to have a stern word with myself to NOT eat that second half because I sure want to. (But I'd also likely explode.) Service is always very friendly and fast, too. Hidden gem, indeed! read more

Flaming Stove was handing out free samples of their chicken shawarma a few days ago, at the corner of Yonge and Davisville. And let me tell you, that was yummy! So yummy in fact that we couldn't shake the thought of having more and returned two days later. So first the reason I only gave it four stars: It's actually in the back of the Hasty Market, which made it kind of hard to find since we were actually looking for a restaurant. It's basically a glass counter where they sell ready made foods as well. I would never have tried the shawarma if it wasn't for the free sample a few days before! And there are only a few seats indoors, although they also have a patio for the summer. And now to what made it awesome: 1. The service was fantastic, they were really helpful and great to chat with while waiting for the food. 2. It was probably the best shawarma I ever had! Four kinds of different sauces to choose from, and two different breads. The larger sized shawarma was surprisingly big and I had a hard time finishing it all in one go. It was just fresh and delicious and full of flavour, I honestly can't come up with a single bad thing about it! We will definitely be coming back, although you can only get the souvlaki after 3 o'clock. Even writing about it makes me wanna go back...mmm, and try different combinations of sauce, and maybe the smaller bread this time...I think I know what I'm having for dinner again tonight :) read more

Seriously, come for the shawarma but walk here. No parking. the staff are friendly and the shawarma is among the best I've had. juicy and full of flavour, and not shy of ingredients to fill a pita. Will definitely return and recommend. read more

I had the shwarma wrap and though it's good enough for 2 meals at $9 I wouldn't go back for it again. It was almost flavourless, the chicken was a bit dry, and I guess I was expecting a burst of spice, but it just didn't happen. It was fiercely mild even with 3 shots of hot sauce. There have a plethora of ready meals to go, I may go back a pick something else. read more

Great food made daily. Friendly staff. Variety is good. Somethings are a bit pricey but that's the area.

OMG! Absolutely the best shawarma in Toronto. I have had many shawarmas over the years and nothing comes close to comparison! I don't know if it's their special bread or sauce but it's absolutely fabulous. read more

Amazing chicken shawarma and falafel. The sauces are all made in house and so delicious. Great selection of salads, dips and meals to go. The food is always fresh and they're so generous with their portions. Definitely the best Middle Eastern joint in the city! read more

OK, so they're essentially a counter in a convenience store called Hasty Market. Sounds dubious but some of the best food I have tasted. How would I describe the cuisine? Well there's middle eastern, Indian, Jamaican -- the best I could describe it as is food from around the tropic of cancer if that helps you visualize. They claim they were voted as one of the top chicken shwarmas in Toronto. The kitchen closes early but the convenience store is open all night and carry plenty of prepackaged goodies. But do yourself a favor and get there during the day so you can sample the food fresh. read more

I should probably just give it 5 stars but I am a tough reviewer. The Chicken Schwarma is amazing. The place seems to be quite clean and the counter helpers seem to practice safe/excellent food handling skills. I still have yet to try the other vegan / vegetarian options but they do look really good! read more

It's because of places like these that I don't eat at Paramount. The home-made saj is so flaky that it melts in your mouth. Not to mention all the fresh ingredients they put in the wrap..... you will be full for sure as the shawarma wrap is the size of a submarine! Easily feeds 2 people. Will definitely visit again. read more

They've been voted as one of the best shawarma place in Toronto and I hands down agree.

Haven't found a better schwarma I'm the city! Their jerk chicken sandwich, although not really jerk chicken, is my absolute fave! You can also get a variety of foods that taste home cooked and are healthy for a great price! read more

Had the shawarma wrap. It's like gourmet shawarma with flavours infused in all the ingredients, unlike many of the other basic shawarma places around the city. I didn't get to try the hot sauce on this one because I was sharing with my wife, but I'm eager to try it with a bit of hot sauce, especially since there's one called stupid. My wife wasn't as big a fan as she felt the simple garlic sauce and ingredients were spicy enough as they were. I still like Dr. Laffa more, especially since they make their own bread and it's available hot on the spot; that's what makes the doctor a 5*. The price is very nice though. read more

Falafel's were amazing - moist and flavourful! The garlic sauce was to die for yummy and all made to perfection. read more

Amazing food. Come here regularly. One of the best shawarma places in the city without a doubt. Incredible selection of reheatable entrees as well. read more

A place to go if you crave shawarma! I have also tried several different salads all of which were very tasty and fresh. You can also grab a dessert here (try baileys cheesecake, you won't be disappointed), or a freshly made fruit or vegetable smoothie. Nice place for lunch. read more

Hidden gem of Toronto, they make fantastic shawarma s with home-made pita bread. I go here at least a couple times a week, but my co-workers go at least once a week. read more

Incredible hidden gem. Can't beat price point, portions and flavouring. Very highly recommended!!!

Recently, they have cut their shawarmas by half the size and now charge more so instead of $8.99, it comes to a total of $11.29. I would no longer call this the best shawarma! read more

One of my favourite lunch spots! Everything made fresh, tastes healthy, nice vegetables and meat, definitely worth a visit. Love their hot sauce. read more

I've been here twice since starting a new job in the neighborhood. I was excited at the prospect of good food at a decent price (since the area does lack good lunch options). However, both times the food's been incredibly mediocre and certainly not worth the cost (close to $10 for a wrap). Today I ordered a jerk chicken roti, which was premade - which I'm fine with, as I assume they just made it a few hours earlier. However, the woman then nuked it in cardboard box for about five minutes. I took it without question, even though I kinda wanted to mention something. When I got back to my office, the thing was stuck to the bottom of the cardboard box, the shell soaking wet, and the chicken now overcooked but still cold in the middle. I couldn't even finish it. :( I've heard they have good sharma (why didn't I get that instead?!) so I'll give them one more shot. But don't get your hopes up. read more

Precious vegan heaven in the back of a Hasty Market. They provide options for non-vegans as well. Wait is slight during lunch hour. Try a fresh prepackaged item to skip the line. read more

Oh man. I just finished eating half of my chicken shawarma and I only wish I had more space in my stomach to eat the other half!! I'm so glad they were one step ahead of me and knew to wrap the halves separately. These things are massive! The guys that were working tonight were so helpful and offered to give me a sample of the different sauces so I could try them before deciding which ones I wanted in my wrap. I loved every bite and I'm already looking forward to my lunch (my other half) tomorrow! Thank you Flaming Stove! read more

They have a great selection of healthy and delicious food. All at a very reasonable price. They are great for take-out. But they do have a few tables inside and in their patio for sitting outside in the summer. read more

Let me begin this review by saying this is the best tasting Sharwarma and is delicious and the best I have ever tried. However, one of the staff only fills the wrap or plate half full, it ends up a dry ton of wrap with little filling and no sauce. I don't know why as the rest of the staff are amazing, friendly and make amazing food! I say this out of love because when it's done right it's the best in Toronto hands down. We used to eat there 3-4 times a week but don't now as it's not worth the money when we get that member of staff. read more

This is truly a hidden gem of Davisville. This is a cafeteria style restaurant in the back of a Hasty Market. The menu varies from day to day with a good 20 items on the menu each day using seasonal and local ingredients. The homemade soups are excellent and made fresh every day. I work nearby and have been eating lunch here for over two years and am always impressed with the quality of food to excellent and friendly service. From curries to roasted chicken the menu is always delicious. I have only eaten here for lunch but breakfast and dinner are also served here. read more

Have we reached peak shawarma when a convenience store can turn out an an acceptable wrap? That's a huge and I mean huge shawarma for 11 dollars. And it is not awful. Yeah didn't expect to give it this rating. read more

I have only tried their samosas here. They are really good. The taste is authentic but it's finely ground rather than minced. Their combo items are a bit pricey for prepackaged food though. read more

This place should be in an episode of DDD. Odd and unsuspecting joint in the back of a convenience store serving up killer shawarma and falafel sandwiches. The staff are very friendly. The Falafel sandwich is probably my favourite in the city, and oh yeah, it's HUGE. It's not often you get quality and quantity like this. You'll pay a few bucks more here than at a Middle Eastern chain but believe me it's well worth it. I usually have half a sandwich and save the other half for later. They use this awesome pita bread for both the Shawarma and Falafel (that they get sent in from Montreal I believe) and when they press your sandwich, it takes on an almost crispy crepe-like texture. Awesome. This place is doing it right. I will say that a few of the sides that they offer are lacking in flavour, and I usually hold the pickles and onions on my sandwiches as they have a tendency to over-power.This is a killer joint! read more

Has to rival for the best shawarmas in the City. Generous servings, friendly staff, fresh vegetables and chicken. Sauces are delicious, including their specialty amba spicy sauce. I made the mistake of asking once for the "stupid sauce" and yes, it was stupid. But seriously, I visit this place twice a month. read more

I do not recommend either of the two Rotis I had at this location. The "Jerk Chicken" was filled with kidney beans and undercooked carrots and sweet potatoes. There was a bit of chicken in there but you had to search for it. The "sweet Potato" Roti was filled with mashed sweet potato - I had expected diced sweet potato, peas and onions with a flavourful sauce. It did ot deliver. I will stick to the salads in future. read more
