I can't express how much I love the falafels here. They're huge and incredibly delicious. I haven't found a place that compares. There are two places in Scarborough that are also pretty close to this but I have a soft spot for this place. Buy extra garlic sauce...it's so good! Customer service is always prompt and friendly. My eating companions tell me their shawarma is also killer. The place isn't really a sit down for long joint but decent when you're looking for a quick place to grab a bite. Bonus points for the Middle Eastern music videos playing. read more

Extremely authentic Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine. Delicious and cheap food with an awesome experience. Under $20 CAD for a Chicken Shawarma Plate, that comes with rice and 2 sides, along with a drink and pita. Absolutely love the music videos they play on the TV as well. 10/10. read more

Classic shawarma dive. Great authentic food! Loved it. Hole in the wall so seating limited. Friendly staff and large portions.

Seriously. This place sucks! I never went there before the "management change", but currently there are two dudes, one can't hear or understand what you've ordered and the other has a badly infected eye that's been running (yes... like flowing with tears) for the past couple weeks. You order one thing and he tells the cook something totally different. It'd be kind of comical if it weren't your food they were preparing... Their salads are literally soaking in vinegar. Whom.EVER.THE.FRIKK told them to do this? I suspect it's to "preserve" the stale salads ... it makes the experience extremely intolerable and noxious. I got a Fattoush+chicken salad and the dude put some pungent sauce on it WITHOUT asking. plus the salad had already been given a bath in ... I dunno, Lemon, Lime, Lye, Chlorine?? who the F. knows! It was in-edible !! I don't think I'll ever go there again. P.S. A big F.U. to the Toronto Food Inspectors who let establishments like this do business without enforcing even the bare minimum of controls. Is Yonge street up to bloor just a forgotten wasteland as far as restaurants are concerned because only the tourists are stupid enough to eat at these establishments? Huh? ZERO STARS for TO Food Inspection Unit! read more

One of the worst shawarmas I've ever had. I was disappointed because I've heard great things about the place. I ordered a beef shawarma for $9.49 total. Meat was dry - extremely dry ruined the whole meal. read more

Delicious food, good prices. This is actually a great place to get quick lunch or dinner. Chicken shawarma plate is the best I had in a while. I like that chicken is all white meat, no fat pieces as in other places. Their hummus and falafel is very good, as well. And they have so many salad choices. Located close to subway on Yonge. read more

Lebanon Express - Chicken shawarma plate was delicious!!! Tasty meat, no fat. - Lebanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Overpriced food, poor service and unfriendly staff. They will fill up you sandwich with cheap vegetables and very little meat. The meat is dry and portions of meat inadequate. Not sure about the other reviews but I will never eat here again. read more

I have visited this place about 5 times now and I haven't been disappointed once. Going into it you know this is a fast food Lebanese joint, not a fancy restaurant. A place for a good quick eat. I normally would order the chicken shawarma sandwich but the last couple times I ordered the plate. It comes with rice, potatoes, picked beets, salad (with beans, lentils, lettuce, capsicum, onion and much spice) hummus, garlic sauce, pickles, pickled cabbage, pickled turnip all topped with chicken and hot sauce. For 10$ it is a large portion of food. I can only finish it on a very hungry stomach. Today when I visited it was better than ever. Flavor explosion! Bring water as I am sure you will be thirsty afterwards. The only gripe I have is the cleanliness. The place is a bit grimy but that comes with the territory unfortunately. Service - 4/5 Food - 5/5 Atmosphere 3/5 Value - 4/5 Overall - 4/5 read more

I had the chicken shawarma plate. Great selection of salads and very fresh. They also give a very large portion for just under $10. I thought the hot sauce tasted a bit different to what I'm used to, but not in a bad way. read more

great place for a quick bit, however a couple of things they were out of shrimp when i went, only one server was working, on a Sunday, which lead to a line up and people walking out. the a.c was broken so the restaurant was very very warm. negatives aside, this was an amazing place to try, loved the serving, and the food. the tzatziki is STELLER, my mouth was burning from all the garlic, which was amazing. not the best i've ever had, but better then normal :) will definitely come back read more

I was disappointed to come across a Lebanon spot so close, but with such poor service and food. I ordered a chicken shwarma and a falafel. The employee serving me couldn't have cared less as he prepared my food - luckily I like everything because he didn't ask me what I wanted on it. The food was dry, not flavourful, expensive for what I got. Will not return. read more

This place was my favourite shawarma place in all of the GTA, UNTIL the new owner took over. It is now disgustingly bland, and tasteless... they have completely changed the recipe. I'm really disappointed to see such a great place go downhill. I should have known not to buy as soon as I did not smell the authentic smell that made this place unique, and the absence of music outside of the restaurant. I'll be on the lookout for a replacement. Bye Bye Lebanon Express. read more

THE BEST. My Fav out of all (of the very many) shwarma places in the area. And in general. This praise comes for many reasons, including the following: - Serving size: monster shwarms - Quality: literally one of the best tasting shwarmas Ive ever had - Service: Anone and Harry are 50% of the reason I go back. I swear. These guys are beauties. Anone sorry I spelled your name wrong big man. Correct me when Im in next. - Hours: Ive gone at dinner time, and its good, but some how always tastes better on my way home from work at 230am on a Saturday night. - Vibes: generally good vibes. good area. good people. good food. GO HERE. ** only drawback, pickles are cut as cross sections not as longitdinal slices to match the turnips. Frustrates me. BUT I LOVE IT ALL THE SAME. Give the place character. COME HERE YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED read more

Prices went WAY up. It was/is good but now it's a splurge. Would have been 5 stars at the old prices

Best falafel I have ever eaten, so fresh and tasty, we ate there two days in a row. Perfect quick place to grab a quick lunch. The variety of salads are also excellent, fresh, and tasty. Will go again. Very affordable and healthy. read more

delicious food, good vibes, great music, friendly staff

Im trying to understand why negative reviews for the restaurant. Lebanon Express is always busy. Service is patient and friendly and the meals are huge and fabulously flavourful for an average price of 10 dollars. Look at the colors in the food...its like a rainbow. This is not your standard shwarma restaurant and the flavours are heightened with three types of salads included. One of the salads includes pickled veggies but it is your choice whether you want to add it to your meal. The meat is great!!! Its not like some of the other Lebanese/Shwarma places because it is not fatty and you may get crispy edges but I certainly would prefer crispy edges vs. fatty meat. Wonderfully seasoned. This place is a gem...Im so glad I ignored the negative reviews and checked it out myself! To the person who wrote a review and lied (the comment that the food isn't fresh) - remember that this is someone's livelihood and your malicious words may prevent many people from trying out a great restaurant. **See pictures of food for freshness proof ...and I ordered at approx. 5pm** read more

My favourite middle eastern takeout in the city. I moved out of the area and now go out of my way to order there. Get the plates and try the beet salad and eggplant as sides. read more

Awesome food. The service was a little scattered late in the lunch rush and the employees could all stand to speak up a bit, but the food is excellent and quick and reasonably healthy and fairly priced. We loved the moussaka and the wrap was definitely enough for two servings! read more

Great unique taste for Shawarmas! Highly recommend the Chicken or Beef shawarma wraps! Great staff, always friendly :)

This place is my absolute favorite for Lebanese Food. The chicken shawarma plate is LOADED with flavorful and fresh ingredients that not only please the eyes, but the taste buds and hunger as well. All of this for under $10.00! I have always had excellent service, fast, friendly and fun. I've been everywhere man, looking for flavor and the best bang for my buck and for Lebanese.......THIS IS THE PLACE!! read more

Lebanon Express - Chicken Shawarma Plate :) - Lebanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Small take out restaurant of the best Lebanese foods. From shwarmas to fresh fabulous salads, to delicious grilled fish or even rice and curry with tahini and the best garlic sauce, the food is simply scrumptious and cheap. The cooks/servers are extremely friendly and always greet you upon entry.You'll never regret visiting here. read more

Me and my bf have found it hard to find god shwarma downtown. He has always wanted to try this place and went for lunch one day. He convinced me that it was really good and that it was! Finally a place that has a legit shwarma. Very juicy and delish chicken, and fresh veggies inside. The sauces are full of flavour and the staff is super nice. Since Pita Nutso is my number 1, this i will give my number 2. For sure will be visiting this place again and again for that good house made shwarma. read more

A rather objectionable smell hit me when I entered this place but I was so hungry I decided to still give it a try - my roommate recommended it after all and I haven't had shawarma in years. Well... plenty of the chicken pieces were so dry, they already felt crusty. I only managed to taste the hot sauce in the very beginning, so either they only put it there or it was so mild that I couldn't notice it any more after two bites (and I don't even eat a lot of hot food). What they definitely just put on the other end though it seems was some sauce with herbs and spices. All stuck in the very last piece of the shawarma - which made that bit pretty unpleasant in terms of taste and I would've loved to know how it would've tasted had it been spread evenly across the whole thing. Also, overall, the place looks rather cheap to me and I found it slightly annoying that there seems to be only one source of napkins. Maybe i'm just spoiled but i think either giving a napkin to each customer or at least one such thing with napkins per table should be doable. Service was rather friendly and fast though. read more

A lot of shawarma places in this area and this is a good one! I like how they cut they cut the chicken right off the rotisserie into the wrap so it's not dry, and very garlic-y sauce too. Finally, when I went in there was lots of Arabic being spoken with customers - I always take it as a good sign if customers are from where the food is from. read more

Been here quite a few times. Garlic sauce is really good as is the hot sauce. The quality of the chicken isn't that great sometimes. Once i found a small piece of plastic in my shawarma. Trying to convince my coworkers to try Tummy Time down the street instead. read more

Sadly, this weekly favorite recently changed hands and the quality of the food declined. First to go were the delicious eggplant sandwiches. Tried the new veggie sandwich which sadly only contained only potatoes. Then the quality of the remaining ingredients began to decline (tabouleh with vinegar?). The result, I have been searching for another place to satisfy the hunger for a decent falafel or eggplant sandwich. read more

I love this spot! Their service is quick and the staff is really friendly. I order the falafel plate which is really delicious. This restaurant is reasonably priced for the big portions you get. This is my go to restaurant when I'm craving middle eastern food. read more

I don't know why people give this place hard reviews. They do very impressive fresh looking salads (even for late January, when it's the middle of winter and veges tend to be blander/less colourful). I went the other day and found bright colourful salads; many kinds. It puts most shwarma places in Toronto to shame. The chicken they also serve actually looks and has the texture of real chicken, unlike many of other greasy shwarma places. If people of Toronto think this place offers crappy food for downtown, they are kidding themselves. It's also very reasonably priced for downtown standards. highly recommended for a simple bite to eat, particularly if you're craving a salad with all kinds of veges, lentils, chickpeas etc. read more

No better value for Lebanese food on the yonge street strip. Ordering can be a struggle sometimes, but you're basically able to fully customise any dish (without extra cost, which is unusual). The quality of the salads (they have about five to choose from) is the highlight. And the baklava makes up for any thing that went wrong in the ordering process! It's incredible. Take out at this place, as only a few eat in seats. read more

I had a chicken shawarma wrap last night and didn't finish it, even when my taste buds were under the influence. Been in a position where I've had to go here a few times because everywhere else is closed. Each time I know going in that I'm about to eat tin foil wrapped disappointment. Why do i do this to myself? I deserve better. You deserve better. read more

Raised their prices starting November 2016 buy their shawarma wraps are filling, healthy and flavourful. $10 per wrap and try heir been samosas; spicy and will clear you out. I remember working downtown and if I was hungover or felt like shit, this place would set me straight. bathroom is small but they have a Dyson. read more

All you need to know is that the chicken was extremely dry. If a shawarma place can't get that right, is it really worth trying?

Prices went way up. Now it's 14$ for a shawarma plate (which includes the shell on the side), and $9.5 for a chicken wrap. The plate was around 11 or 12$ before the min. wage increase. read more

It's slightly embarrassing to count how many times I've eaten here. You get a massive amount of food, def your money's worth (and more). Chicken shawarma plate is my jam. They have some of the best garlic sauce and hummus around. It's more of a takeout place but they do have a few seats to eat in if you want. read more
