Delightful lunch at Miznon in Yorkville! Our server recommended the daily special--the smoked brisket sandwich--and it was an excellent choice. The brisket was juicy, smoky, super fatty, and incredibly tender. My colleague had the chicken liver and loved it, along with the potatoes and greens. Everything was delicious, and the service was warm and helpful. Would happily return! read more

Heard good things about Miznon from a friend in Tel Aviv. Gave it a try on a weeknight and it wasn't very busy around 6:45. There were quite a few take-out orders however. We googled what a "Run-over potato" was and it sounded delicious! In the description, it said "... with crispy edges..." and we were looking forward to that. Unfortunately it did not come out crispy, but it was still yummy. We just imagined what it would be like if it were crispy. We also had the chicken in a pita and while the chicken was tasty, the pita was too soggy for our tastes. It made it quite messy (which we're ok with, just not into the soggy texture). The hummus and pita was one of the best my hubby has tasted outside of what he had in Tel Aviv. It was smooth and flavourful! The pitas were more of a fluffy pita and oh so good. The beef brisket was amazing. Crispy yet tender. We would definitely visit again! read more

Miznon serves an amazing hummus plate, reportedly the best in the city, and their green beans are incredible. We also ordered the falafel, the schnitzel and a delicious dessert. You order at the counter, and then they serve you at your table. Everything was fresh and flavourful, and this is a great place to enjoy Israeli cuisine. read more

A classic for a reason! Miznon serves up some of the best Mediterranean food in the city. The hummus is so creamy with the fluffiest pita bread - a must order! The falafel was also one of the best I've had in Toronto. Great casual dining for takeout or a quick sit down bite. read more

Ordered food for takeout today at around 1pm in Yorkville. I have a few comments: 1. Menu items should be available or off the menu. The chicken livers were not available, and this is not a one time occurrence. 2. We paid $45 for one hummus bowl and one hummus bowl with mushrooms. That is beyond daylight robbery. I am in the hospitality industry and know this is just NO VALUE for my money. The ingredients, except for the mushrooms are cheap!! And the mushroom hummus came with much less hummus than the hummus bowl! 3. All, and I mean all, the kitchen cooks and attendants did NOT wear gloves and handled food in a way considered these day as unsanitary. 4. Last point: The food took too long to prepare. I counted at least 8 people working behind the counter, in the kitchen and wash up area. Not a great experience, although the food is good.....in the end. read more

Tried the chicken and schnitzel pita and they were both delicious. I would recommend the schnitzel however as I find the cabbage really helps balance out the meal. The chicken feels quite heavy since it doesn't have any vegetables and it is also a bit on the saltier side. The pita is perfect, very soft and fluffy. The potatoes were great as well, the tzatziki sauce was done very well with a nice dill flavor. In terms of ordering, you order and pay at the counter whenever you are ready. They will bring your food out to you. The service was quick and responsive. Overall great fresh and wholesome food. However, prices are a bit high although that's to be expected in Yorkville. read more

So far, I've had their Lamb Kebab Pita, Candy Steak Pita, and their Smoked Maple Steak Pita for takeout. At around $21 (plus tax), I found their Candy Steak Pita to be the best out of the three as their brisket was large, and their meat was quite tender. It was not candied like the name says, but it was good nonetheless. Lamb Kebab was probably my least favorite as the meat was not distributed well within the meat pocket and the kebab was fine. Overall, I can see myself craving this from time to time and I would love to try out their Chicken liver pita next. read more

It's easy to miss this casual restaurant while walking down Bay Street, the sign is unpretentious and it's next to a Pet Valu. You can't miss, however, the huge lunch line-up on most weekdays at noon. There's seating for about 20 in this shop, first-come, first-served. Seats are a precious commodity as the food is great: the hummus share plate is ambitiously named "The Best Hummus That You Will Ever Eat!" -- it was delicious, smooth and with interesting spices, but the true star of the dish was the included pita: warm, fluffy, toasty and rich with flavour. The lamb kebab (ground lamb, not chunks) in a pita was juicy with a nice tahini and spicy green sauce. My colleagues thoroughly enjoyed the candy steak (beef brisket) pita. A great hidden gem in the Bay/Bloor area, and now a staple in our lunch rotation. read more

Miznon - "The Best Hummus That You Will Ever Eat!" - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Looked like a high end food court option but was actually one of the worst options. On the plus side, nice, bright locations. Lots of places to sit. Many healthy options. Unfortunately the food was below disappointing. I had the lamb kebab. Ground lamb that tasted like a low end burger. The accompanying pita was very doughy and chewy. The green bean side was served cold, which also did not work for me. Disappointing. read more

This place has their social media campaign in full force as I saw them pop-up every now and then. I guess it works as I walk by regularly and saw sold out of food signs the first few days. Here is my experience. The place is more geared towards a quick meal or grab and go and their tables aren't designed for the way they serve food trays and small tables are never a good idea. Here is a play by play Hummus was very good but is priced bizarrely high Cauliflower decent and could be shared by two Chicken pita I didn't try but the feedback wasn't good as was apparently very dry Ratatouille decent though I guess I enjoyed it more as I have been enjoying eggplants more lately Priced at a proper dine in place the value proposition is out so a 3 stars read more

This is the spot to go for slightly elevated Mediterranean food. They have a large menu. It's a self-serve restaurant where you order and pay at the counter. Then the servers will deliver the food to your table. Washrooms are on the ground floor and accessible. Prices are on the higher end for this style of food. We got the lamb kebab which was served with caramelized onion, tomato and pita on the side. Most of them mains also come with tahini sauce and a green kind of chutney. We also were accidentally served the smashed potatoes which turned out to be complementary since it was a mistake on the restaurant's part. We found the portions to be relatively small for the price and the taste was okay. Nothing outstanding. Service is okay here and you can see the chef's preparing the food since it's an open kitchen style. It's an okay spot if you want to go to a Mediterranean restaurant for a date night. read more

the lamb was spiced well and tasted great, but having just one hunk of cylindrical lamb in the pita was a bit odd. there was also a bit too much sauce and the pita wasn't structured enough so it got soggy quick. wish there was a bit more tomato in the pita too, and maybe some pickled turnip? service was pretty casual quick -serve which I appreciate. ambiance is a bit loud but laid back read more

Miznon - lamb kebab in pita - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I miss Miznon NYC so I'm happy they opened in Toronto Honestly my usual order lamb kebab pita is good but not as good as NYC. A bit too salty for me. My bag of beans became bag of meat I didn't know till I got the receipt but whatever I didn't want to hold up the lineup and I'll tried something new. New customers miss the paper menu at the door and at the cash. They are looking around for a menu board. This place is too chaotic for me. Not much of a waiting area for takeout. I don't mind the organized mess at Chelsea market, their system works in a bigger space. Guess it's still new so they need to tweak things in TO or when at capacity the place is busy enough to make it uncomfortable for patrons to make it a quicker turnover? Not a place to chill, quick bite and go. Frankly I'm happy that I got mine to go. Always a messy meal at Miznon. They gave a lot of napkins and I needed it. It does feel expensive but i can't tell if it's overall inflation. $17.50 for lamb kebab and $19 for the bag of meats. Not something I would have regularly read more

After having one of their fantastic sandwiches in Chelsea market, New York, I was so bummed that I'd only be able to eat there on my New York trips. I was thrilled to see they opened one a 10 min drive from me. Same menu, same great service, with the tomato's on the tables. I ordered the hummus to start. It's probably the best hummus I've ever had with that amazing warm soft pita. I ended up taking most of it home since my sandwich showed up shortly after. I always get the rotisserie chicken sandwich which has a bit of a bite. Damn it's good. I could live off that sandwich. This is a monthly trip for sure. read more

Came to visit and I had to stop here .. food is as good as I remembered and I have only few remarks: I got steak in pita - the steak was good however the pita was filled (!) with the sauce to the level that you see liquid inside which of course spilled all over when eating. Not sure that this was the intention- I think it was bit too much. The other remark is about the pita which is personal preference- this for me was too soft pita and almost tasted as not done enough It a matter of liking as my daughter loved it. All together - great eat. read more

Miznon - Roasted cauliflower - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I saw an article on BlogTO about the fold over cheeseburger and wanted to give it a try because it looked so interesting. So when I was in the area I thought I'd stop in. Considering there were only 4 tables with people (including me by myself) it was very loud inside. It's essentially fast food (you go up to the counter to order, and then go sit at your table for your number to be called or they will drop the food off at the table). It was $22 for a solo burger with tax and tip. Quite pricey. The pita was fluffy and tasted good. I loved the garlic aioli on the burger. The patty was juice, and inside the pita was quite cheesy. I liked the burnt cheese on the edge - a feature of the fold over burger. It hangs out of the pita though, and is super salty. To me, it was somewhat of a gimmick and I would prefer a better pita to burger/cheese ratio. I'm glad I tried it, but I'm not rushing to go back. read more

Wow thank you blogto for bringing awareness of this place. This is hands down one of the best folded cheeseburgers ive had in toronto. High quality ingredients and the pita was so soft and fresh... it was so delicious. The cheese was crispy on the outside and melty oozy on the inside. I will definitely go back and try other items. What a gem in yorkville with price point being reasonable read more

Miznon - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon but managed to get a table. Service seemed a bit disorganized but wasn't a huge deal. I ordered the minute steak pita which came to about $21. This was such an underwhelming pita -- no flavour at all, fatty pieces, barely any spicy sauce, soggy tomato, dripping in oil, soggy pita. Absolutely not worth it at all. Hoping if I try a different pita it'll be better. read more

It's good. The food is unique. An innovative and eccentric take on Israeli food. I liked it a lot but didn't love any of it. Maybe I'm just being a picky twat but I prefer the hummus from Parallel and the chicken from a number of other Middle Eastern joints. The Candy Steak is straight up bonkers tho. Can't recommend trying that enough. read more

Miznon - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We've always wanted to try Miznon whenever in New York but never had a chance. We were super excited to see them open up a location in Toronto! We ordered a few things for dine in and everything was good: - Folded cheeseburger - the pita was so soft and plush, this was tasty - Run over potato - can't go wrong with potatoes and dill - Cold garlic green beans - a lovely side to balance off the heaviness of the rest of the meal We also ordered their hummus to go - it was very flavourful and came with the delicious pita. We came on a Saturday just before noon and there were still quite a number of tables available. It definitely got a lot busier after 12pm. Not a spot you would hang around for a while if on weekends given how busy they are and the set up of the place. Would definitely come back off peak hours! read more

Great spot for a casual , quick bite. The pita looks small for $15-$17 but it's really filling. The lamb kebab is nicely grilled and juicy. Flavour is on point and the grilled onions pairs really well with it. The ratatouille tastes homey with nice herbs. The hummus is made fresh every morning and sold until it's gone. It's so smooth and creamy not like grocery store hummus. BUT it is bit pricy at $18 but it's worth trying. It comes with warm pita and it was delicious. I definitely want to come back again and try the falafel. read more

The pita bread was sooo good -one of the best I've had, very soft and fresh! The braised beef pita was good, tender and ingredients were fresh. But I thought that it lacked flavor overall. They should add more sauce. A really busy place but we managed to get a table for dine in, which was great. Would like to try their cauliflower next time. read more

This place was absolutely packed. I should have realized going on a Saturday during lunch in its opening weeks. I didn't have to wait very long for my pita despite the large crowd. It was an absolutely amazing falafel and will be back again and again. As the weather gets nicer you may want to think about take out. There is limited seating at tables. read more

The food was horrible, the service bad and there is no tradition on this food. do not waste your money on this place

Loved the food. It takes a while to figure out how things work there, how to order how to get a table, but once all that is sorted out it really doesn't matter, the food is exceptional read more

Got takeout from here and placed my order 1 hour in advance. It was ready to go when I arrived at 6pm on Friday. The place was already busy with little tables remaining. I got the ratatouille pita and bag of golden meat for $40 including tax. The pita was pretty good with a hint of spicy. I honestly couldn't finish it because it was quite big. The bag of golden meat is pulled brisket roasted overnight. Although it was tasty, it was a little salty to me and the portion was quite small. We wanted to get fries as a side but they only offer veggies... if you're sharing plates with two ppl, I recommend getting three dishes at least. read more

Wow! Can't believe I never came here before. It's great middle eastern food. We had the green beans (tasty and fresh), hummus (really the best I've tasted since Jaffa), and I had the lamb kebob in a pita. Everything was fresh and tasted great. Highly recommended! read more

gross food, gross service, ugly restaurant. I have never had food this bad before, nor had I been treated so condescending. Do not recommend, if I could give 0 stars I would read more

As a big fan of shawarma, I was excited to check out a new spot that was opening in my neighborhood. It was extremely busy when we entered and has a very bustling vibe and energy to it. That may be something you are looking for, but we were lucky to get a table at the bar and it was just a bit too chaotic for my liking. Overall the food was good but certainly expensive. We got the lamb, chicken and Cauliflower (wrap). I would not recommend the cauliflower, it was cold and looked almost like baby food which was unappealing. The chicken was good, but I agree with a previous review that said it was dry, it certainly needed a sauce to complement it, otherwise it would have been awesome, so maybe ask if you can get some on the side. The lamb was my favorite and tasted really good, would recommend. I second the review that the person making the sandwich had no gloves on, and also was feeding themselves and other staff members by hand while working the station. That as very off putting and something I really think the business should address since this is an open kitchen and you can see everything. Staff was fine, but I received my food a good 15 minutes after my partner did and within ten minutes of eating and before I was finished half of my food, a server came by and asked if they can take my tray away which had all of my napkins on it. I politely said no, it wasn't that big of a deal, but it was just a weird move. Overall, I would maybe come back to try some of the other items on the menu because it did taste pretty good, but it is very expensive in my opinion for what's essentially an upscale shawarma spot. read more

Miznon - Candy steak pita - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Everything we have eaten has been unbelievably good! I always takeout! Staff are incredibly nice & patient! For me, the high quality is worth the price! I am thrilled also that it is so easy to have spicy put on the side in a small container-delicious but my husband does not eat spicy...I like the speed of service & the ability to bring home something easy to eat, when I don't have time to cook or grocery shop! Opens at 11:00am- seriously would be there earlier if they did breakfasts too! Love Miznon! Ps.discovered it because it is right next door to the Pet Valu store at 1235 Bay st. where they have the cutest rescue kittens from Whitby Animal Rescue! read more

Great food, nice ambiance and reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

We have been waiting patiently for this place to open and poof. It's open. We tried it out last night. Walk in the front door and it seems like complete chaos. People everywhere, paper menus, order first at one of the registers, then pray for a table to open up. Usually I leave right away. As chaotic as my first impression was the system worked. We got a table for four, food was delivered to our table. The food runners and staff are as energetic as the buzz in the room and we had a great, meal and time. All of us liked our food and we tried a lot: hummus, spicy fish, folded burger, fish and chips, mushrooms and the minute steak. All great. Can't wait to go back. Staff took care of mixups in our orders with no questions asked. This is a welcome addition and alternative to the typical Yorkville area resto. read more

Very disappointing. Been to the one in NYC before but of course, when any restaurant opens another location in Toronto they see it as an opportunity to price gauge. Waited in line for 25 minutes and paid $23 for a steak pita. The pita was tiny with about 2 small pieces of steak in it. It tasted okay but really lacked any interesting spicing or flavor that I am used to with Israeli food. Also, the guy assembling the pitas was not wearing any gloves and was barehanding ingredients to shove into the pita. Some people in the kitchen were wearing gloves, but of course the one guy you want to be wearing them, was not. Gloves should not be optional at a pita spot. Overall it was a bad experience and we ended going to another place after to get additional food as the pita was not nearly enough to call a meal. If you like long wait times, overpriced pita, small portions and questionable sanitary standards, then this is the place for you! read more
