So I had some falafels - very yummy - see pics. Highly recommended- it's family businesses like this one bring us worldly flavors. Note - not really an eat-in place but take out for sure.

They were constantly running out of food and it was a long wait. Overall a quick assembly of chicken shawarma platter took 45min from the time we entered to paying and leaving. People had started walking away and could no longer wait. The grill is right there so the restaurant is really hot and heavy with meat smell inside. I would not dine in but maybe do a skip order because the food itself was good and value for money with portion sizes. Just service was lacking

A hidden gem that I discovered thanks to Yelp!…read more The space itself is not fancy but any means but you aren't going here for the ambiance - its the food. Tons of fresh toppings and your meal is prepared how you like it, right in front of your eyes. I believe they also make their sauces in house as well. Service is quick, polite, friendly. Others have mentioned the portion sizes are large - they really are! Be sure to take your leftovers for another meal, so good! The two times I have visited, I have opted for their falafels once as a platter and another time as a wrap - so tasty! Be warned - they are not shy with the garlic, so be sure to pack some gum or mints for after! This is now our go to when we come into town to visit family. See you soon, El Mina!

Another hidden gem in Kingston…read more I am always pleasantly surprised when I come back to my hometown to visit and find another amazing restaurant to enjoy. My fiance and I stopped in for a late lunch before we went back to Toronto. Our server was nice and offered just the right amount of service (checking in with us just the right amount). Loved the black tea with cardamom spice that we were offered when we first sat down - so so good! My fiance opted for the beef kefta platter, adding hummus and I got an order of falafel. Our food arrived with a side of delicious housemade bread and hot sauce type dip. Flavours were amazing and the food was super fresh. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu next time we are in town!

I'm not sure if there was a change of management or someone was having a very bad day, but the meal was oversalted to the point of being inedible. And not just one or two things--the entire meal: the kebab, the rice, pickles and turnips, the lentil soup (which I used to adore). The only thing that was not oversalted was the hummus, which was bland, almost tasteless. Which, salt aside, was true of the rest of the meal as well. I ended up needing to through 90% of it in the compost.

I came here a few years ago on a girls trip and have been thinking about the pizza here ever since!…read moreSpecifically the Nona Mela pizza, which has apple butter, roasted garlic, cheddar, caramelized onions, and blackened chicken. Normally I would never get this type of pizza as I love a red sauce, but this was recommended by one of my friend's friends so we tried it. And I'm so glad we did! This pizza is amazing and the flavours are prefectly balanced. Fast forward to this year, I was on a road trip with my husband and my dog and I just HAD to have this pizza again. We ordered the Nona Mela and the Citta pizza (the Citta has prosciutto and brie), and they were both delicious! The Nona Mela was especially good, and my husband agreed that it was a lot better than what he expected. We couldn't finish the two pizzas between us, so we brought the leftovers home and reheated it two days later. Somehow, the pizza was even better than the day of! We actually ordered an extra Nona Mela to bring home to one of my friends who was on the girls trip a few years ago, as she also has been thinking of this pizza. That's how good it is! The pizza is on the pricier side though, but very worth. We sat on the patio since we had a dog and the waiters/waitresses were very nice and gave my dog a water bowl.
