The dips were all delicious and rich, and the pita was fresh and warm. The garlic aioli was also strong and creamy. The atmosphere was very family friendly with an almost cafeteria-like feel. Very casual and comfortable environment, with fast and easy service. The washrooms also surprised me with tampons and pads for anyone who needed one. All in all, food was authentic, delicious, and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.

For 3 people we ordered: Turkish Flames Mix Platter - highly recommend this to have a taste of a variety of their meats!!! Everything was incredibly seasoned and the meats were juicy - my favourites were the both the ADANA and CHICKEN KEBABS, MEAT and CHICKEN DONER. The rice and bulgar on the side complimented everything nicely, and the TURKISH BREAD was fluffy soft! Shepherd Salad - I would pass on this, too much raw onion and the portion was small considering it was $10 Kunafe -I would also pass on this, I found that they make their kunafe with a syrup that's too watery and caused the phyllo to be soggy All in all, I'd recommend the meat platters and I'll be looking forward to trying the other savoury main dishes next time :)

It came with grilled chicken, veggies, hummus, tahini, BBQ sauce, and pomegranate molasses. The flavors worked really well together, the chicken was moist and juicy, the sauces added layers of richness, and the veggies kept it fresh. Portion sizes are big enough to leave you full, with the small priced at $9.49 and the large at $15.29, which makes it a good deal. The staff was efficient and friendly, and my order was ready without much wait. It's always nice when service matches the food, and here both delivered. For anyone who enjoys hearty Shawarma plates with bold flavors, this is worth the visit. I'll be back to explore more of their menu.

However, there was much left to be desired and I'm saying this even though I was hungry. It is a watered down inauthentic wrap if I ever ate one. Watered down, meaning it literally tastes like water. If you like lettuce, this is the place to go. You can also taste the cucumber water. The chicken was dry, not plentiful and I did not see the chicken cooking outside, so not sure how they make it. There's no hummus or garlic flavour. If you like salad inside a wrap, with water taste, this is it. It wasn't as savoury as I would have wanted it to be. Plenty of parking and has a washroom, which is good. Food though has much left to be desired

It was so fresh, flavorful, and plentiful! I'm not a big foodie, but I savoured every bite. My father said it was the best birthday meal he'd ever had.

Andy's has moved from the very busy Westmount and Highland area to the Forest Glen Plaza here in…read moreKitchener (the previous restaurant at this location has now closed), but pretty well everything else has remained the same with Andy's. There is a Breakfast Special with two eggs, toast and home fries, which (unlike the breakfast specials of most other places in the area) includes tea or coffee and is available until 3 pm... I guess the biggest issue I have with Andy's is one of consistency. Sometimes the food is good. Other times, not so much. Sometimes the service is fast. Other times, not so much. I went there once for steak and eggs for dinner (why not?) and not only was the steak over cooked, but it took forever, it seems, for the steak to actually make its appearance. I wend there recently for breakfast with a friend and not only was the food good, it seems that the breakfast appeared before I had even finished preparing my tea! If you liked Andy's when it was at its old location, you'll love it at the new one, it's certainly nicer. (My friend, who is a fan, will agree with me on that) However, for me, I believe that there are much better places in the area.

I'm not sure if it was because this was my first experience but Shawarma Star was amazing, the owner took our order and even made some recommendations, he gave me this very tasty hot sauce that is SOOO ADDICTING I had to get more with me to go, slightly sweet, slightly spicy, all flavor.

Most of the staff that we spoke to there were very friendly and down to have a conversation while we wait for food (as the restaurant wasn't too busy).
