Honestly, when they first opened, they were really good. The food was fresh, the quality was consistent, and we genuinely enjoyed ordering from them. 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. read more

Great fried chicken - Saudia Al-Baik style. It was not heavy or greasy at all and the flavor was in point! 5/5 Nice clean place with Moroccan decor, the shawarma was also good, it would've been better if they put the fries inside, but overall it was good. 3.5/5 The garlic sauce was also nice, not too garlicky that makes you thirsty afterwards. Fries 5/5 I think they open later in the day as it was quite empty when we went but started crowding up when we were leaving. read more

I sat down and ate inside. I ordered the fried chicken and chicken shawarma on a pita. The fried chicken came with fries. The food was great and so was the service! read more

Inexpensive good Arabic food. I enjoy going here for a quick lunch or dinner. The place is clean and nicely decorated. They raised their prices over the last year. If they had rice or oven roasted potatoes versus just fries, it would help. read more

Mazaya - a plate of food on a tray - Mediterranean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I'm usually in Mississauga pretty late on Sunday nights and I usually struggle to find a new place to get good food from, luckily for me, Mazaya exists! I came here last weekend in need of some fuel for my ride home. The gentleman working was friendly and made our food super quick. I ended up splitting a large French fry with my girlfriend and getting a shawarma wrap with both beef and chicken in it. The wrap was absolutely delicious and was just what I was looking for! The meat was good, the veggies were good, the sauces were good, and the total package hit the spot! The French fries were as basic as they could be but not in a bad way, they tasted good and were a great size. Overall, I enjoyed my first trip to Mazaya and it certainly won't be my last. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in the area! read more

Take away point: decent food, abysmal service. Better options around the corner. Take the extra drive if you can. Decent food. Been here as my default lunch place for shawarma since it's convenient enough. However customer service is very poor. One time, when asked about what toppings do I want on the shawarma, I answered that I want all the toppings. However the owner misunderstood and made it with zero toppings instead. Typically, no big deal, mistake happens. Nothing a simple remake can fix. When I realized after the first bite, the first thing the owner wanted me to do is to pay $5 to remake, insisting that I was the one who made the mistake. It's an easy fix but they're not willing to do any extra step. Way to lose a returning customer. They don't care if you're there for 1 meal or 5 years. Very disappointing. There are other shawarma options just around the corner. read more

Mazaya - Simple mistake but no remedy - Mediterranean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I've been on a shawarma kick recently and was searching for a spot closer to home that satisfied the craving. Found it! Friend of mine recommended I check out Mazaya and he was spot on. My go-to is the large chicken shawarma wrap with fries, garlic sauce, pickles, turnip, onions and the pickled hot peppers. Absolutely read more

5 words! They make their own pitas! I will be craving this for years. Honestly the best fast food shawarma I have ever had. Had the mixed chicken and beef wrap. And you get your money's worth. These wraps are literally the size of my wrist to my elbow! The hummas, is the freshest. The garlic sauce perfectly smelly! Lol It was just delicious! You gotta go and try it if you are in the area! Enjoy! https://youtube.com/channel/UCFeaOetTkW7ZaAWl3fzGvDw read more

food is okay, but they place shawarma in the wrap which is open from both sides, counting the fact that the paper wrap is weak and gets soggy fast - it is easy to get dirty or loose the insides from shawarma. plus the colouring from the paper starts to come out once gets wet. service is weak- not welcoming- or it is only towards non-Arab people? read more

Preface: This is not a review based on an "authentic" shawarma as I don't have any first-hand knowledge of what that looks, tastes like. Mazaya presents shawarma in a different way and that is why you might be drawn here. As mentioned by other reviewers, shawarma is rolled up on saj, a flatbread. Although it didn't have any specific taste, it was not as dry as pita. Ordering: I approached the cash, with a friend, as we had some questions. It took the guy a moment to come out from the back. There was no bell to summon him. We asked whether or not the "Mazaya Special" (~$15), which is a chicken shawarma platter, was good enough for 2ppl to share and he said yes. Then he proceeded to punch in "Mixed Platter" ($21) which was a few dollars more expensive. I was confused as this "Mixed Platter" did not appear anywhere on the menu. However, I let it slide since the guy said it contained 2 sandwiches and price was still ok for 2ppl. As per my photo, the Mazaya Special consisted of rolled up chicken shawarma, with fries (similar to Costco), and a side dish of pickles. Chicken itself was a tad too salty, which is very common for shawarma, and seasoning was slightly different than at other places that I have been too with hints of nutmeg/cinnamon &/or clove. White sauce did not taste like garlic and did not have any specific taste. Pickles were a nice addition to cut the salt of the meat. Mazaya is an order at the counter, wait, and dine-in OR takeout. Most of the patrons seemed to speak the same language as the man who ran the counter. Service: Man at the counter was apathetic when we had questions. However, he seemed to lighten his tone after we finished eating and asked how everything was. There seems to be A LOT of Middle Eastern places in this U-shaped plaza, so there is a lot of immediate competition. The things that make Mazaya standout though seem to be decor and how food is presented. read more

We arrived at this plaza in the mood for some Middle Eastern fare, and given that I didn't recognize Mazaya, I figured this would be a good opportunity to try something new. It's a cool little joint with authentic plates decorating the walls and loud, ceaseless Arabic music playing over the speakers. (I'll admit that the music did get a little oppressive after a while.) I decided to go with one of my favorite dishes, a Chicken Shawarma Wrap ("tomato, cucumber, pickles, turnips"). I placed the order and we took a seat to wait for our food. We waited. And then we waited some more. After almost a half hour's worth of waiting, our food was finally ready. (Apparently the delay was due to the made-from-scratch preparation of my dining companion's falafel. Surely there's a way to offer fresh falafel without making the customer wait so long?) Anyway, it's a good chicken shawarma wrap. The plentiful chicken tastes fresh and juicy, while the accompanying garlic sauce packs a lot of zing and flavor. The problem is, though, that you don't really taste much else aside from that garlic sauce. If there were any tomatoes, cucumber, or turnips in the wrap, I didn't taste them. There's an excessive saltiness to the dish that grows a little tiresome after a while (i.e. every bite is exactly the same). Still, I happily ate the whole thing and I'd probably eat it again, although next time I might order a side dish to kind of break the monotony of the wrap. read more

ordered a chicken and beef shawarma. Little to no toppings. One of the worst. Don't go here it's a waist of time and money.

Amazing hot sauce. A bit on the pricier side but worth it! One of the tastiest shawarmas I've ever had read more

I have had many Shawarma sandwiches in Canada and they are pretty much in a pita bread which kind of makes it a North Americanized Shawarma except here, it is as authentic as it gets and is by far the best Shawarma I've had anywhere in North America. There are lots of very good and delicious Shawarma restaurants but they are all imitations but never duplicated properly until now. I had some of their freshly squeezed juice and enjoyed it very much. Excellent job from service to the food which is very comparable to the middle eastern countries. read more

Did this restaurant go out of business? Been there and it's closed, called several times with no reply.. please advise ... it's a pity because it was really good... Looking forward to the reply read more

I have been searching for the perfect shawerma sandwich for quite some time and I FOUND IT.. this place beats all the other ones.. the service is good and the food is delicious.. I I highly recommend the chicken shawerma, it is wrapped in SAJ bread which is a middle eastern signature and much tastier than pita and flatbread. They have been in business a few months and I hope they continue because I am hooked.. they also offer home delivery in mississauga! read more

Finally a shawarma that I can say is very close to a Dubai shawarma. Their lamb shawarma is the best. And their French fries and Filafel is awesome as well. Chicken shawarma is also good but it cannot beat the lamb. All food is freshly made with love. A very clean restaurant. A must try. read more
