    Turkish milk cake
    Akira L.

    I absolutely love this place. This place is incredibly busy and seating is limited, however the wait is definitely worth it! The food is delicious, I ordered the plain doner and the Turkish milk cake for dessert and wow everything was incredible. The ambiance is very casual and not remotely anything upscale. It's very good for large parties and family get togethers.

    Chicken shish

    Excellent spot. Great food and value. Service is slow but worth it all. Had the plain beef Donair and chicken shish. Both come with salad and a giant bread. Some of the best Donair I've had. Will be back.

    Craving some authentic Turkish food? This place justifies the word "authentic". I would definitely recommend everyone to try this place. Their serving quantity is generous and the taste is even better. I ordered a platter for 2, which was good enough for 3 people. I also got the beef shawarma and again that shawarma size was good for 2 people. Friendly staff. Great customer service. Great food.

    Generous portion of Chicken shish

    Stumbled upon this hidden gem by chance and so very glad that I did. Within a two week timeframe, dined in and did take out 7 times! At first glance, the interior looks like a cozy cafeteria. The place is always packed! I've gone at various hours of the day and have seen no tables available, with lineups out the door. Amazing to see the establishment thriving. Menu offers lots of options to choose from. My preferred order is the chicken shish, which comes with two skewers, a zesty salad, fresh baked bread and a bulgur-rice medley. Portion is plentiful for two people. Food is flavourful! Have also tried the trio dip; hummus, baba ghanouj and a tomato-walnut and pomegranate molasses mix. Plates are smaller (think appetizer for one) than other places. I'd love to try the family platter someday. In restaurant, food is served piping hot on a traditional copper tray. Their kebabs are nestled in bread that would need cutting open. It looks amazing! Staff are also very warm and welcoming. Their customer service is excellent. I told a family member about the place shortly after my first visit and the treatment received was top notch, despite dropping in to order take out. Still, they were served hot tea while waiting. Give this place a go. You won't be disappointed.

    Busy spot for Turkish food, even on a Thursday night! Good for groups as they had a lot of shareable portions like the pide ("Turkish pizza"), kabob plates! Although service was pleasant, there were many gaps. Water did not arrive to the table til midway thru meal, after reminder. There was also a missing corner of our pide and when we pointed it out to the server, he said it fell on the floor, so he threw it out. Weird that he just didn't mention it / thought that we wouldn't notice. Dining experience could've been better. Some tables are very close together, there's a box of Kleenex on the table in place of napkins, and water is served in disposable coffee cups - not great for environment. No knives/condiment is provided. No doubt that the pide is freshly made, but I literally tasted bread w/ melted cheese. At least with pizza there's the tomato sauce. So I'd be open to going back, BUT for the kabobs, not really for the pide esp as a main.

    Baba Ganosh and Bread

    Easy service at this time. Plenty of free tables. Good appetizer of Baba Ganosh. Also ordered Very Kebab and one beef doner. Doner is made with fresh bread and is excellent value.

    Kabab mix plate

    Must try the mix plate and pide. Fresh and delicious food with quality and flavor, generous portions. Servers are incredibly friendly. Currently my #1 Turkish spot at the moment.

    I've finally found a place where I can buy just protein without carbs! For the longest time I've…read morestruggled to find a place where I can just go and order meat or chicken only without any rice or bread. Well, this is the place to go and while they're well known for their BBQ (or so I've heard), majority of their menu is spicy. However, I was excited to find that some items, such as the chicken tikka and malai boti are mild/not too spicy so I often for those. I didn't try any of the meat items, since I don't really eat meat, but everything I've ordered from their chicken was amazing! I loved the malai boti, chicken malai leg and the chicken tikka. We ordered some karachi paratha on the side and decided to make our own paratha roll at home with the chicken and it turned out very very good. I would come back here in the future should I need or crave good chicken and BBQ. The seasoning and spices used were great. Their tea was also pretty good and portion was quite generous. I gave a 4/5 as I also tried their peshawari ice cream, but was not a fan of it. The ice cream used was not creamy enough and it was topped with rooh afza, making it a little sweeter and the ice cream was also quite small considering it was $5. Stick to what they're known for and that is their kababs and BBQ. Don't forget to grab some tea as well. Forgot to grab a pic of our order.

They were under some renovations at the time so the ambiance might not be the same now. The location is in a plaza so lots of parking is available.

The restaurant itself was quite small, with only a handful of tables and a few booths. It felt quaint, with cultural decor on the walls and music playing on the speakers. I had settled on the pork kebab with rice, salad, and naan. My husband had decided on the mixed grill, which included chicken and beef, along with salad, rice, and naan. We only had to wait about ten minutes before our meals were brought to our table by the kind server that had taken our orders earlier. The food was absolutely amazing! The pork was very tender, and the salad had a nice flavour to it, especially when mixed with the rice. The naan was a great addition, as I ate it with the dipping sauces that were given on the side. The food was abundant; I didn't even finish my dish as it was too much. My husband agreed that his meal was also delicious, and well-worth the price. Would definitely return and will recommend to others!

Sure enough, dinner rolled around and we couldn't find something else we wanted, so we swung back here. We were surprised when we walked in. There's not much of a storefront, just a counter to order. They clearly don't much want dine in-traffic, they're just aiming to get you to order something and take it to go. There's very simple decor, with a TV behind the counter displaying the menu. Despite the fact that this place was still going to be open for an hour, their menu was... unavailable. We ordered a couple of kabob rolls, but they were out of roti, so we had to swap out plan. We tried ordering sides, but there were out of... all of them. Absolutely baffling. The girl at the check out was clearly disinterested. We were disappointed, but not about to go somewhere else, so we settled for getting what they were able to provide. We made a point of going somewhere else to pick up drinks, and then went back to our hotel to eat the food. Food was good, but based on the disinterested service we probably would never come back if we were in town.

    Might just be my favourite place right now…read more I was really craving middle eastern food and decided to get it. Normally I'm a bit hesitant about paying $20 for a meal, just because it always feel like there's too little food for the money. However not here. It's delicious, the portion size is super generous and I really have no complaints. It might have tasted better because on the way there, someone near miss hit us on the road, but to be honest I think all the flavour came from the meat tornados. It's a delicious and filling meal, 10/10 Mix Doner

    I was looking for something different for the evening, but I could take back to my hotel room and…read moresaw that the shop was nearby. I'm a bit ignorant of the options though I have had döner sandwiches in Germany. The staff was quite friendly and helpful and guided me through my decisions. I purchased a mild döner sandwich for dinner, which was a mixture of chicken and beef and fresh vegetables and sauce on a soft, yet firm and chewy flatbread. I was asked how I liked it prepared and I said I had no idea and for them to make it the way they would enjoy it. After a brief discussion in a language, I didn't understand, the only question they asked after that was "Do you like spicy". I do, but I know that spicy and one culture is different than spicy and another so I said yes, but not too spicy. So far I've only had the sandwich as I've saved the wrap for breakfast, but I would say that that fear was totally unfounded. If I could make two changes, it would be to tell them to be generous with the spicy sauce, and I should've chosen either chicken or beef, but not mixed. I tried each of them independently of the other, and they both would've been a great choice, but together, neither of them stood out from the other. If you drop by, feel free to let them know that you're there to experiment and give it a go. Much of the menu looks familiar, including pizza and french fries. Oh yeah, speaking of french fries, I got a side of fries, which turned out to be about 2 pounds of potatoes! Be sure to bring a friend if you order the fries!

I think bbq sauce on shawarma should be illegal, it doesn't work at all. I thought Johnny Shawarmas was a lot better than this. This is the last time I will come to Aleppo kabob price wasn't bad for the amount of food they give you but taste was not good at all.

    What just happened?…read more I used to love this place. In fact, I would drive 30 minutes each way just to pick up some of those tasty kebabs and that unforgettable garlic sauce. The food was so full of flavour and care, it stood out among Toronto's many Middle Eastern options. Lately, I'd been seeing a lot of their mouthwatering Instagram videos--chicken shawarma piled high, platters being loaded up with garlic sauce and fries, etc.... What can I say? The marketing worked. I started thinking about Aleppo Kebab and decided to order some for lunch via Uber Eats. Unfortunately, the meal fell flat. The shawarma was bland, and flavourless. The rice, once fragrant and almost biryani-like, was now just plain and forgettable. The salad was not dressed, the garlic dip tasted like it came out of a can, and the sujuk rolls were coated in a chalky flour residue that made them unappetizing. I'm not sure if this was just an off day or a more systemic issue. But every part of the meal was underwhelming. It's disappointing, especially when I know what they're capable of. They've clearly stepped up their marketing game--but if the food doesn't live up to the hype, no amount of social media will keep people coming back. I'll give it one more try before writing it off completely, but here's hoping the Aleppo Kebab I once raved about makes a comeback. Until then, 2 stars is fair.
