This review is for the Richmond Hill location in smartcenters center. Can't seem to find in yelp... so picking the next closest one. Can't go wrong with beef shwarma... great flavors and a bit of tanginess... I didn't expect to like the chicken shwarma but it was nice and smokey... which fishes it some added depth. At other places, shish kebob can be over cooked and dry... not here... grilled on the outside but tender on the inside. Love these flavors... wish we could have had extra containers of that yummy sauce on the side. I don't know what it is... but the potatoes where so so good. There is lots of staples and salad to fill you up. So in total there was plenty... but I felt like I would like a tiny little more meat for the price of the shwarma... the shish kebob seems about right because it's chuncks of meat vs thin sliced. Overall giving this a 3.25 start rating. read more

Mr. Zagros at the corner of Rutherford and Bathurst is a clean and friendly Schwarma and other seats joint which fills the spot for a quick lunch. What us relatively unique is that for about ten bucks you get a pretty hefty sandwich of chicken mixed in a bowl with a wide assortment of fixings as tomatoes, medeterrean salad and red cabbage. Typical shops have much fewer filling options schmeared on a bagged pita bread and smushed in a panini press. The bread hear appears house made, certainly unique and so doing kind of sticks to the wrapping paper. But still, an enjoyable bite of mixed veg and chicken. While a bit on the dry side and buried with the veg and sauce, thst is a big sandwich and very fresh. I would saw that Mr. Zagros is a good option when you get a craving for a schwarma or falafel. Be prepared to pay a premium, as about $32.00 for three sandwiches and one soda. read more

As I zip through my 'hood, I am inundated with middle eastern food and I luv it! I was introduced to the cuisine over two decades ago and I have been to many establishments over the years. If you are on the Hill and "zipping' through Bathurst and Rutherford/Carville, you will see a rather boasting statement on a store-sign. "The best shawarma in town!" It screamed to me! Especially when I have been sitting across the street at MeVaMe having their shawarma! It made me think? Why am I spending so much money to get "NOT" the best shawarma in town. If they put it on their sign, someone must have told them that they are! Right!?! I must investigate. One late night, after something or another (who can remember every party and event) I was famished. And yes!...I was "zipping" around looking for food. That's when it hit me. I must try the "best!" Mr. Zagros is a chain place with about 5 locations and expanding to 7 or more. This one is located in the Sobey's mall, next to Subway/Pizza Nova. It's a strip mall so parking is not an issue. Upon entering, a kind lady took my order - there was a language barrier but pointing at things and smiling usually works wonders! I ordered...yes...the best shawarma in town! Well...the jury is still out on it. The Chicken Shawarma Plate comes with a generous helping of chicken on rice or couscous (me thinks) and their salad - which you can choose. I asked her to put it together the way most people like it. She did and also included three small dips/sauces and a pita! The food was quite delicious and the value was pretty good as it was enough to get two meals out of it. Wouldn't quite agree as the best but it would be better than several other places I have been. Worth a return trip. 3.5 stars. Cheers... read more

This is our weekly go to whenever we don't want to cook but still want a healthy meal. Also the place to get great BBQ when the weather is too cold to fire up the grill ourselves. I highly recommend their schwarma and wraps, but their grilled menu items are always satisfying. My fave is their delicious lamb chops ...big tender flavourful lamb! Their bread is made fresh and hummus is great too. Generally this joint is a busy place and it's because the people is nice and food is consistently good. The portion sizes are also quite generous so it's unlikely you'll get hungry here. It continues to be our go to takeout joint. Not on their takeout sheet but if you want you can get chicken or beef schwarma on the rocks to save a few bucks (then it doesn't come with salad). read more

This location is not the great out of the bunch, mr Zagros is not a brand that you'll find consistency at any location...it's all a hit and miss. I have tried and rated 3 Mr Zagros locations on Yelp! Including this one, 2 scores very low and only one shoots and scores! In any case, not a fan of this location quality, or the service..take your money elsewhere read more

Always fresh. Always generous portions and always friendly staff. It's become my default place to goto when I'm craving Sharama and times when I can't decide what to eat . Can't go wrong with this place . read more

Mr Zagros - Chicken Sharama Doner sandwich. - Mediterranean Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Very yummy food. Got chicken on the rocks ($7+tax for students and $10+tax otherwise), comes with parboiled rice or couscous and little chicken pieces on top with a creamy sauce and hot sauce. A bit oily but it's comforting. The sauce is very flavourful. read more

Other than the chicken and beef shawarma I haven't tried anything else at this place. Been here a few times and same story every time. Amazing shawarma anyway you go, Plate wrap or pita. Only issue is the service. They don't seem to care about the customer. They always talk between themselves in a different language and never smile. Plates can use some extra cleanim Update. Came back to this location decided to give it another go. Changed my review from 3 star to 1 star due to their racist service. I don't support these time of places and you shouldn't either. read more

Mr Zagros - Mediterranean Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

We liked this place a lot. The restaurant is more of a takeout spot with some booths for a quick sit down meal. You order at the counter and when your food is ready, they call you over to pick it up. We tried the chicken shish kabob and a mixed platter. The chicken was delicious, flavorful and the portion was good for the price. The mixed platter came with a smaller portion each of chicken, lamb,beef and Adana kabob. The chicken may have been more worth the money and it was our favourite of the variety. The plates come with a variety of salads, sauces, rice and some sort of pita/laffa bread that they make in house which was delicious. The food was prepared and tasted fresh. Service was decent, nothing spectacular but again, it's more of a takeout spot. The desserts looked interesting, I'm hoping to try those next time we stop in. read more

Jews not welcome there. Owner heard me speaking Hebrew and completely ignored me. I asked her a question and she wouldn't make eye contact - gave me a dirty look and wouldn't answer. She was completely indifferent to us storming out. This is a shady place, Thornhill. Watch out. read more

Bar none the best shawarma in York Region. Great service and amazing portion sizes with a very good price! The shawarma is the star here, highly recommended! Shawarma being mixed in a bowl plus the fresh wrap is what puts this place over the top. Their line "best shawarma in town" is 100 percent true. Much better than the shawarma offerings located around the area! Also, their dinner plates are both massive and delicious. read more

Mr Zagros - Chicken Shish - Mediterranean Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

The restaurant is in a plaza that has plenty of parking. The restaurant was clean which is rare if you have been to many shawarma joints . I had to wait a few minutes for my chicken shawarma because they were making the bread and chicken fresh, and I don't mind waiting if my food is being made fresh, so that was also pretty awesome! They pack it with a lot of meat! They are not stingy at all, so if you want something meaty and hearty, but not break the bank I suggest you try this place. The young guy working there said they do delivery for orders $30+ before tax and there is a $3 delivery charge. I know it is only $3, but if you are going to tell a customer to order a curtain amount to receive delivery then a delivery charged shouldn't be applied. This seems to be a "dude" spot. I was the only girl there, and the guy just kept coming in and out the place for their meat fix. read more

Fast, fresh, cheap and BIG. The Mr. Zagros shawarma plates are a great option for a simple, delicious quick meal option. You get a small platter and choose 3 salad options, a carb option between couscous or white rice, a couple garlic potatoes, and a blanket of warm fresh shawarma over your rice/couscous. I like to get my sauces drizzled right over the meat so I can just sit and go to town at the food without needing to dip. For $13-14, you really can't complain. The fresh warm laffa bread is a nice accompaniment. read more

Checked out Mr. Zagros for the first time today and tried the Beef/chicken shawarma plate with fries. Have to say I had big expectations considering their sign says "best shawarma in town". The meat was just mehhh, no real flavour to it, yet it was a good amount. And they really didn't give that much fries which they tried to hide by throwing the meat on top which in turn made the fries kinda soggy. The salad portion was pretty big, but most shawarma spots will throw the salad in a seperare container so you can get more of your choice of side. The girl asked me if I wanted pita with it which i thought was odd, considering it is supposed to come with it. The servers were kind of cold and not that friendly, but thats not a big deal for me. My one real concern was the temperature in the restaurant as they had no AC on and its almost 30 degrees outside and it was extremely humid inside the restaurant, so I hope the meat can stay fresh like that. Probably wont return as there are many shawarma spots in Richmond Hill for a better value then $17 a plate for takeout. read more

It was not bad, but I am disappointed. Time for Leslie's periodic 'confusion reviews.' Today's episode: The Dangers Of Hype. I went to Mr Zagros based on a friend singing this place's praises. Said he, "this place has great donairs." Myth #1: this place does not have donairs or any other kind of Turkish food. What they do have is shawarma, which is Arabic food. Myth #2: this place is Arabic (see above). Well, maybe, but checking the map Zagros is a mountain range mostly in Iran. As most know, Iran is Persian and a different culture from Arabic or Turkish. Hmmm... really confusing. Zagros is a Persian name. They did not have any Iranian food in there either. Myth #3: this is an independent mom and pop. According to Yelp, there are several Mr Zagros' running around town. This seems to be a chain or a franchisee. OK so how was the "Turkish" restaurant with the Iranian name serving Arabic food (I am starting to get that feeling I get when I go to a "Japanese restaurant" and notice they are owned by Koreans and have Korean waitresses, there is also Thai food on the menu while the chef is Chinese)? I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich and was disappointed. There wasn't any flavour to it. I asked for the garlic sauce (no thanks to hummus or hot sauce) and it was sweet more than anything. It did not have the thick pasty feel authentic shawarma garlic sauce should have and there definitely wasn't any garlic taste either. Moreover, instead of using a pita they wrap their sandwiches in a thinner laffa bread. I prefer traditional shawarma pitas. On the flip side, their shawarmas are on actual revolving pits and being grilled freshly in front of you. This is not the standard Toronto grilled chicken sitting in a tray masquerading as a shawarma parlour. The service was friendly. The man behind the counter was polite, cheerful and had his manner about him. He was eager to follow my specific instructions. By the way, they offer cucumber, tomato salad, lettuce, vegetables, turnips, onions, etc. as sandwich toppings and the aforementioned sauces. I think my sandwich was $8. Other menu items are falafel and beef shawarma and the aforementioned as plated dishes. The store has a few tables and an overhead board as menu indicating it is mostly a take-out business. In summary: polite service, no flavour to its sandwich, inauthentic garlic sauce and a very confused identity. read more

Normally would give this place a 3/5 but not after what I seen last time I was there.. why do employees not wear gloves, move around dirty garbage bins and then go cut the meat without washing there hands.. completely lost my appetite. Hygiene is more important than ever, but clearly they haven't learnt that lesson here. read more

Parking: Free - big lot with easy to find parking. Washrooms: Well maintained Experience/Venue: Some staff are friendly and some are very serious toned. The venue small, having tables on both sides of the walls (I think three tables on each side?), it's the wall couches and the chairs go on the other side. Food: Not the best fallafel I've had but not the worst either. Priced reasonably and seems fresh. read more

BEST SHAWARMA AND LAFFA... Look no further than this place. OMG when I first seen this place and ordered my Chicken Shawarma laffa wrap, I was almost going to walk out when they put all the topping in a salad bowl, mixed it all in with the chicken and then put it all in the laffa. I accepted it any way and tried it.... my tastebuds literally danced! The flavors were delightful, tasty and extremely satisfying.... I got another order after I indulged the first. Again, to my complete satisfaction. I suggest getting the chicken shawarma on a laffa or the dinner option with double the meat. Enjoy!!! read more

It appears that there's a new shawarma option at the Bathurst and Rutherford intersection. It's about time the neighbourhood was freed from being held shawarma-hostage by the mediocre establishments on the corner and Mr Zagros seems promising. The service is iffy at best, it's a mix of slow and confused. Good thing the food holds its own. The chicken shawarma is tasty, the beef is juicy and the portions are more than fair. What really sets Mr Zagros apart is that they bake a fresh flatbread for every wrap or dinner order. Fluffy, fresh and warm, the wrap raises the bar. Definitely the better option on the highly competitive corner. read more

Ugh. I can't even bring myself to write a full length review because of how disappointed I am. After hearing the rave reviews from my close friends, I decided to finally try this spot. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate for take-out and drove home with it. When I arrived home with excessive drooling because of my aching hunger.... there was no garlic sauce. NO GARLIC SAUCE. WHAT THE F***. Without the garlic sauce, this meal is EXTREMELY plain - dry pieces of chicken, some plain rice, oh and I was lucky enough to get one single potato cube in the mix. This experience was equivalent to getting a poutine with no gravy, or possibly even no soy sauce with your sushi. Horrible experience and I'll never return. Will (unfortunately) be dousing my food with sriracha instead to give it some life. read more

My friend recommended this shawarma place , got excited and ordered 3 chicken shawarma to go, we started eating in the car while driving back home, i thought it would be good,because my friend said so, but much to our suprise , the pita was so hard and old (stale) plus had no taste of homus , garlic sauce, i dont know what kind of shawarma the girl made or was she in a bad mood. Iam not going to get any kind of food from this place for sure. Good luck to the people to order their food from this place. read more

Exceptional falafel and shawarma. Even the fries are outstanding. Very friendly and accommodating staff. I won't be going anywhere else for Middle Eastern fast food in this part of the city. If you're really hungry I suggest the wrap instead of the pita sandwich. Wraps are made in house in plain view. The sign outside says "best shawarma in town". Naturally I was sceptical. After our visit I am a believer! read more

Mr. Zagro's makes the best and biggest shawarma's I have ever tasted, they actually mix the wonderfully seasoned ingredients together in a large bowl, before putting it in this absolutely delicious wrap, and the shawarma plates are big enough for two people. Customer service varies on who you get, some are kinda of cold and are just doing their job, while others will smile and be a bit warmer. Seating is quite limited to 6 or 8 tables, it's a hole in the wall that has amazing food. read more

I order from this place through door dash and this will be my last.. I put special instructions to not add tahini because of allergies and they brought with tahini and a long black hair wrapped on the outside of wrap.. Disgusting never again read more

I get food from here all the time my whole family loves it. Can't go wrong with the chicken shawarma wrap or plate. Service is super quick, chicken is super juicy and the sauces are delicious. Definitely one of the best Mediterranean places in Richmond Hill. read more

I'd stay away. There are much better Mediterranean options in the area. Toppings lacked and food quality was ok. They really create high expectations with their slogan. "Best shawarma in town". Try your luck elsewhere. read more

Excellent food, open late. I got the mix platter, and then on separate occasion got the lamb chops. Friendly staff too.

I really like that they take their falafel balls and crush them into their their toppings ie lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, turnips..etc so that each bite of your wrap is so flavourful. It's a small family owned business but they are always so full. Honestly everything is so flavourful and even my parents who are sooo picky like coming to this place. It's close to home and there is ample parking in the plaza. Staff is straightforward they don't go out of their way to be nice or welcoming but they get your order right read more

Can't go back to MeVaMe after this one. Just one thing tho, they need to add pickles to the selection of their toppings & they need to add more flavor/spices to their chicken. Other than that this place is bomb!! read more

First time at this franchise and the staff were friendly. Showed me a way I could get better portion of food for my money. It was delicious, will come back. Try the chicken doner box with chili if you want something tasty like a poutine minus cheese and gravy read more

This was my first visit to this place , this location was only open for two days . Amazing staff , amazing food , super clean and generous sizings . I would definitely go back sooon read more

I'm sorry for leaving a 1 star review but this is based on my own opinion and I think it's very fair, I don't know how this place got rated with high stars, I'm guessing that they were left by employees or store friends. I called and ordered delivery, I asked for one sandwich of Gyros and I said I want it done in Greek Style and I specified exactly that Greek style would be onions, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce only and it wasn't like how I requested they added lettuce which I never asked for, not only that but they brought and charged me for two sandwiches even though I only asked for one! I asked for the mixed beef and chicken shawarma platter with Greek salad as a part of it, they put a garden salad instead and they brought an extra Greek salad for an extra charge, so there is defiantly a mis-understanding in the English language. The Gyros was wrapped in a large pita with a lot of bread dough with only a little bit of very thinly sliced Gyros in there, I can hardly taste the Gyros due to the volume of their bread and lettuce which I never asked for, so I left a lot of bread that I didn't eat. The Gyros tasted good, most restaurants buy the Gyros ready from a wholesaler, so Gyros tastes the same almost everywhere, the problem is the restaurant got to know to not use a huge bread for it, some restaurants would put thicker slices of Gyros than others which is better ofcourse. I also took photos of the Gyros that I will post here. read more

I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate which also included 3 salads, pita (wow) and rice/couscous. Must say everything was so excellent! The prices are a bit more expensive than most but worth every dollar (portions are HUGE). Definitely the best I've had in the GTA! read more

I go here a lot to pick up food for my bosses at work, I personally don't like shawarma. but I pick up for them.. so I decided to try the chicken shawarma salad. it was very bland, no flavour at all!! theres no very many toppings to choose from. Its a pretty big salad but its $$12.50!!! which not worth it at all!!! Also, The women there are extremely rude, I literally hate going here to pick up food. The guy who works there is the only nice one with manors. The women just throw your food together, I get the dirtiest looks every time I go there. there seem to hate there lives and hate that they have to help me.. I refuse to pick my boss up food there anymore. I asked them for Tomatoes for my bosses wrap and they didn't have any and they were annoyed that I needed them, its the only thing he puts on his wrap so its pretty important. she didn't want to go chop me like 3 pieces of tomato. I couldn't believe it!! I will never go there again!!! not only do that talk to each other in there language but I find it very unprofessional. cause its obvious there taking shit about me right in front of me ! If you don't like working in customer service then don't!!! Ive worked in retail and customer service for 10 years and I would never do that!!! read more

Very authentic grilled meats and generous portions. The tonnes of different veggies & salads on the side make the dishes outstanding! We shared the mixed grill platter and it was still too much for both of us to finish. Perfectly seasoned lentil soup, just wish the portion was a bit bigger. read more

Very cheap. I asked for turnip she added a piece and a half. Very little meat and most of the wrapp was bread. The employees seem very angry and have zero customer service skills. read more

Chicken shawarma is basically bread and onions. Sauces were decent, chicken has minimal taste. Although they make there own pita, mine was hard and stale. If u want good shawarma in the area then go to pita golden pocket at Keele & hwy 7. For same price u get double the food, way fresher, way tastier and you feel better after eating it. read more

Thoroughly disappointed with the customer service. The food isn't so bad but isn't anything special either. However I've been here twice now to give them 2 chances. Both times I waited 15-20 minutes after walking in to place my order. I don't mind waiting if there's a line or people in front of me, but the staff fail to communicate with those who are waiting. Even a courtesy acknowledgement that a customer is present goes a long way, however it's clear that the staff doesn't care. I would not recommend this place. read more

I don't understand all the rave reviews about this place, I gave this several chances coming here a total of 3 times. each time it has been so bland. like 0 flavor. like water has more taste than this and on top of that the chicken had no texture it was like chewing on tuna.... I'll give credit where it's due and the concept of having all the ingredients mixed together before putting it in your shawarma is pretty cool although there's no point if the ingredients have 0 flavor. the location is key and the concept is cool but I find it pretty flavorless. BUT keep in mind that each time I ordered the chicken shawarma so I cannot speak on the other meals offered. this is strictly for the shawarma. read more
