Considering the prices, I felt the amount you received was too small. I don't mind paying more for quality food, but when you're spending a decent amount of money, you expect a more reasonable portion of the main protein. The service was also hit-or-miss. Sometimes it was fine, and other times it left a lot to be desired. Between the inconsistent service and the small portions, we eventually stopped going there. I know I'm not the only one who felt this way, as I've heard similar complaints from others regarding the portion sizes. That said, I want to be fair and mention that I haven't ordered from them in the past two years, so things may have changed since my last visit. The food itself was always flavorful, and I hope they've addressed some of these concerns because the quality of the food was never the issue.

We didn't have to wait long before the food was served. The chicken came off the bone so easily, and it was nicely seasoned as well. The dish came on a large bed of rice and a delicious lentil soup, along with dipping sauce. The price was pretty affordable given the size as well. The place was brightly lit and there was lots of space each time I went. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

This place is a 10/10 for me. The food is always good every time I've been there.

You place your order at the front even if you are dining in, and they'll bring the food to your table afterwards. I had a chicken shawarma, a mango lassi, and a couple dessert items.

Unfortunately, over time, things seem to have gone downhill. Each time we order, we hope it'll be as good as it used to be, but we often end up disappointed. It's frustrating because we know how good this place was when it first opened. We keep giving them another chance because of those early experiences, but lately the quality just hasn't been the same. I truly hope they can get back to what made them so good in the beginning.

I'm visiting Toronto and wasn't sure what I wanted to eat for dinner so I headed to Yelp, read…read morereviews, and chose Palmyra. I'm so glad I did. This is a small, family owned establishment. The family was actually sitting down to dinner at the end of the day when I arrived approximately an hour before close. It was wonderful to see them eating together. I was immediately greeted by one of the employees. He was very friendly and allowed me to take my time. I wanted to try a falafel because I love to try several menu items. He accommodated that and allowed me to order a single falafel patty to try. I was stuck between choosing the Palmyra Platter or the Mixed Shawarma plate because, as I said, I like to try several items. I ended up choosing the mixed shawarma plate and ordered it as is. The falafel was crispy and I could taste the herbs mixed in. The sauce drizzled over the top was the perfect addition. I was so glad I tried it. I was so eager to taste it that I forgot to get a photo. I chose the mixed shawarma plate thinking it would be a more manageable serving for me to finish than the Palmyra platter. I was sorely mistaken. It was easily enough food for at least 2 people. This was well worth the price point. The salad was fresh and crispy with a good variety of vegetables in it. I really enjoyed the vinaigrette they used for it as well; just tangy enough. The chicken and beef were crispy on the outside and tender inside. They had good flavor and were not dry at all. The spicy potatoes were a tad spicy for me but I still ate them. The rice was ok in my opinion. I had enough left over to eat a second time. I will definitely visit here again on a subsequent trip so I can try more of their menu items. Overall this was a good experience for me.

The first time I ordered was about two years ago during Ramadan. We were fasting, and at the last minute my uncle called to say he was coming over to break fast with us. I think I placed the order only about an hour before iftar, expecting it to be rushed or average at best. Instead, the food arrived fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted like it had been cooked with care. The flavors were incredible, and honestly, as I'm writing this review, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Since then, I've ordered from them many times, and the quality has remained consistently excellent. The portions are generous, the food is always flavorful, and they've become one of my go-to places whenever I'm in Mississauga. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended!

Their Chocolate Lokma along side Arabic coffee was a tremendous cap. I can't wait to get back here again. 12/25

This place makes amazing shawarma wraps and bowls. Their royale bowls are amazing and allow you to customize the meat, veggies, other toppings, and sauces. I've tried their chicken, beef and lamb, and their mixed meat. I can say that the meat quality is always superb and their veggies are always fresh. I've order fries, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks from this place as well and I've always enjoyed them. For this order, I got a mixed grill shawarma bowl with lettuce and pickles, and garlic sauce. It was amazing as always. The meat was juicy and had a slight crisp on the edge. I had some mozarella sticks as well which came out really good. Other things I would recommend here: - Their queen chicken wrap, which is a smaller wrap that I would recommend if you aren't super hungry. They grill their wraps really nicely. - This place has surprisingly good wings! In my opinion, it rivals that of a dedicated wing place. I've only tried their bone-in wings. The staff here are great and very communicative. Whenever they're busy, they always tell me how long it's going to take for my order to finish. They get a lot of Uber Eats order so be mindful that during a rush the store might appear empty but they are very busy. This place has seating but I always get takeout. They put their shawarma bowls in these round containers that are easy to seal and carry.

I've been keeping an eye on the various "for lease" signs on this stretch of Dundas West, so I was…read morehappy to discover a new shawarma joint had recently occupied one of the units. I placed an order for pickup on a food-delivery app for a Club Mix Wrap ("Pita and saj bread, chicken and lamb shawarma") and added Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, Parsley, Cucumber, Hot Sauce, Garlic Sauce, Tahini Sauce, and Pomegranate Molasses. (As an aside, I really hate it when joints like this don't have an option to just order a wrap or sandwich the way they think it should be made. How should I know what sauces or components work well together?) I arrived a short time later and stood at the counter for a solid minute before anyone offered to help, despite the fact that two separate people made eye contact with me. I'm going to chalk that blunder up to the fact that they just opened, however. I took my wrap home and it's good. The flavors are decent and the components work well together. I do have some complaints, however. I don't think the two separate breads do anything to enhance the concoction, while the meats, tender as they were, were completely lacking in the crispy bits one desires with good shawarma. Finally, the four sauces were just too overwhelming. The whole thing was swimming in sauce. Still, there's a lot of potential here and I'll certainly make an effort to give them another shot in a few weeks.
