Food is pretty good. It's a bit oily but for the most part I like it. I don't have it often but when I do, it's good Service is quick and on point. I am a frequent customer at this store and the owner is nice, a good guy to talk to Lots of chairs. It's mostly a takeout spot but I love dining in. The ambience is good as the place is clean and not dirty. It's also a comfortable spot to dine in The location is not super impressive but for the price they charge, it's great. I have eaten shawarma that's way worse and way overpriced. 16 for a large plate is pretty good in my opinion read more

You know that expression "if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is"? That's definitely the case with Pita Way. I was walking along Carlton when I spotted a sign advertising a $3.99 Chicken Shawarma. $3.99! I popped inside and placed my order, and waited while the sole clerk filled the other orders ahead of me. Honestly, if I'd known this was going to take almost 20 minutes, I wouldn't have even bothered. I digress. I finally received my shawarma and took it to a nearby table. It's...not great. For one thing, it's mostly cold inside. I watched as the clerk placed the finished wrap in a press for about 30 seconds, which did absolutely nothing to either crisp up the pita or warm up the cold ingredients. And although four separate sauces were added to the shawarma, it was completely lacking in any of the bold flavors one associates with this dish. The other ingredients were fine, I guess, and the chicken itself did contain a few crispy pieces, but the experience of eating this concoction was far from enjoyable. I did finish it, but that's 'cause I'm a pig. read more

This is my favourite spot to get shawarma. It's soo good and they have great prices! Every time I go in, the same guy is working there alone & he serves everyone so quickly. If I ever moved out of the area, I'd definitely go out of my way to come place an order here bc no other place I've gone to from compares read more

Been going there for years now. The guy knows almost every single customer he has and treats them as friends. Food is also great

I was stumbling down Carleton St. late one night looking for a falafel fix. Not literally stumbling, more like shuffling. Whatever. I found what I was looking for, in the form of Pita Way, their monstrous mustachioed signage beckoning me in. Even at 10pm, the falafel tasted fresh and delicious. The location boasts a lot of seating and is open late. Service was solid and friendly. I can't wait to go back and try their other options. Obligatory Title Pun: Where there's a PITA there's a WAY. Menu Readability: I don't remember. I came in (shuffled, really) and said "falafel." I only assume they have other options. Need to mention: Cash only. What this place teaches me about myself: I'll admit it. I shuffle. read more

by far the most hidden secret in Toronto,we visit the city about every 6 months there Shawarma are by far the best we have EVER had the owner is an amazing guy,folks don't pass this gem,priced very reasonable and the quality second to nome,Mark and Brenda read more

The chicken shawarma is always tasty. Fresh ingredients. Great service. Good prices. And they're always open super late which clearly makes them a killer late night spot! Only knock is the decor, but who the heck cares at 4am! read more

Most inexpensive meal I've had visiting Toronto and very tasty, too! Ordered the special chicken schwarma pita with the works, owner made it fresh to order, was very friendly and made it very quickly. read more

Disgusting. I ordered a falafel sandwich and was served these potato-looking nuggets that turned out to be tasteless, mystery-matter nuggets. The guy working there didn't seem to know why we were there dining...seemed not to be a real restaurant. read more

Pita Way - Garbage falafel - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Very good schawarma made very efficiently by the young fellow there. We each had the small which was tasty and satisfying.

Downtown Toronto. It was raining out, I had no rental car, and I was hungry. The Hotel resto had high prices and no promise. I had noticed the Pita way when I arrived. At its worst, a place called "Pita Way" is going to have Gyros and/or Souvlaki. Even crappy Gyros/Souvlaki can be not too bad, so it became my dining choice for the evening. The place is a shithole. In most cases, that would be a minus, but for a place called "Pita Way", it's a mark in the "up" column. There was one guy behind the counter doing everything. A steam table had a bunch of good looking stuff on it. There were a few fellas in front of me, who each ordered something different. The counter guy took a white foam large clamshell and put some of the ordered meat in it, then proceeded to ask the orderee if he wanted this and that. By the end of it, he had put a little of just about everything on the steam table into the box, completely covering the meat. On top of that came a few squirts of stuff from a few squeeze bottles, and a shake of herbs. I think he may even have thrown the guy's change on top of the huge mass of food that was groaning the clamshell. Wow. I ordered the souvlaki, and then was waltzed through all the selections, and when it was done, I had a clamshell filled to the brim with rice, meat, hummus, tabbouleh, potatoes, veggies, and Allah knows what else. There was a hot sauce, and something that was like an aioli. It was all mushed together, and it was glorious! And cheap! I sat in a corner and wolfed it down, while an Arabic language station played on a tube teevee above my head. I had never had anything like it. I want to think this was an exotic foreign experience in a place I had to show my Passport to travel to, but I'm sure there's a parallel shithole in the Windy city that does the same thing. We tend to seek out shitholes when we're out of town in the name of "local charm" especially when we're in another country. But home-grown shitholes are...shitholes. What spins the cognitive dissonance is: there are foreigners who patronize the places we would never go in, and they take those memories home as treasured. Go Figure. read more

Often empty... for a reason.... Waiters do not care about customers here. I went there at 11pm, there were only 2 customers waiting for their order and the waiter did not even acknowledge me, while preparing the order of my two fellow customers. After 5 minute of gentle wait and being invisible, I left. Time to notice that at 11pm, they were out of several items, includign tabouli. Lebanese Express is around the corner on Yonge, with nicer waiters and constantly fresh and full racks of food. Bye Pita Way or improve your customer service (and install a/c). read more

BE CAREFUL!! Food and price was decent enough for me to come back but during my second visit i got charged twice for my order (i was unaware until i saw it on my bank statement). Went in-store with my transaction records to sort it out, employee told me that she talked to her manager and assured me that I would be contacted the following day. I received no phone call whatsoever so i went back in a second time, I told the employee working why i was there (even though he was present each time i had visited), and he acted like he didn't recognize me and just told me the manager wasn't in. It has been over a week without any phone call. read more

I live right across the street and as such, after getting mighty sick of Japanese and Subway, I decided to check out Pita Way. The first time I went over, my pita was pretty good. Well put together, no sauce leaking out the bottom, good price and grilled to make it nice and hot. I went again last night and was blown away. One of the best shwarma I've ever had! I'll start off by saying that this place is owned by what looks to be a wife and husband team; more often than not, the wife is there on her own. She's super nice, quiet but friendly and she makes a mean pita. The first time I watched her put it together, I mentally thought "there's not enough STUFF inside that pita" and i thought I would be hungry afterwards. No way - packed to the brim and perfectly filling (a few times, I haven't been able to finish it). The menu here is pretty basic, they have chicken shwarma wrap, beef shwarma wrap, chicken shwarma plate, beef shwarma plate and of course falafel. But quite frankly, if they had more than that, they probably would have products that weren't that good. Stick to what you know :) I get just about everything in my pita except the hot peppers and this time no onions. The hot sauce has some good bite but wasn't overly spicy (good for me!) and the mix of tahini and whatever other sauces there were was perfect. They cooked the shwarma again on a hot cooktop and put it all together - YUM. Can't get any better, just the right amount of everything in my pita. You can pay debit or cash (credit is probably accepted to as they have the interac machine) and there's seating in the restaurant with a big tv too. read more

I like this place because its affordable. But also yummy. And fast service. I get the tuna pita for 3.99. They toast it it. I like the addition of chick peas and pickled beets (are they beets? I'm not even sure). I'm getting hungry just writing this. Note to self, do not write yelp reviews late at night when hungry... read more

The price is right. These brothers are excellent guys. The portions are huge. I always get the beef plate or chicken plate and I don't even need to eat dinner after. It's just good food. Excellent place to grab a bite, I've probably gone here 30+ times. Run here, don't walk. read more

Had their chicken shawama 4 times now, 1 of the best and cheapest in Toronto. Staff was very friendly, i would recommend to anyone who likes shawamas and on a budget. read more

Good value, so-so shawarma. There are better shawarma places 5 minutes further south on Yonge street.

This shawarma place isn't eyecatching but I was surprised to get a decent chicken shawarma (with meat cut from the spit) at Saturday midnight. The chicken Shawarma ($5~) was cooked to a crispy outer layer that's golden and tastes savory. The Wrap is pretty solid and well composed. Not much leakage while I was eating it, and not deformed like a folded omelette.There was also a TV in there playing top 40 vevo music videos. read more

They have more salad options than the average shawarma place but their shawarma plate is quite pricey. Also, their hummus isn't too good but otherwise I liked their food. read more

I could have reviewed this place 4 years ago, while I was still "playing the falafel field", however... I wasn't sure if I was ready to commit. It's complicated. But I know now, you and me go together... .... ...... ...! I really like this place. The owner is really nice and a good guy. Also he reminds me of Larry David, which for me is a plus. :) It was slow at times, with new people training. But, one of the few places I routinely walk to and don't feel cheated. It's far better than the vast majority of places I found for middle eastern take-out. Great portion size. I always get the plate. PS: Old place on King and Bathurst was very good too. Changed mgmt and became worse and is now gone. There can only be one true shwarmera champion!!!!!! PPS: I like/dislike all the weirdos outside. read more

Let's be honest we're coming here for the $4.00 shawarama... the food isn't great, but dam for a cheap shawarma wrap, you can't beat this place and the food really isn't horrible. You might have to wait for a bit though, since it tends to get crowded read more

Solid 3. Beef shawarma was tasty and well dressed. Good value at $5.50 (tax included) and a worthwhile option in this area.

BEST SHAWARMA IN THE CITY HANDS DOWN! Quality is there 100%. Friendly staff. Amazing portions and fresh! read more

Passed by this place a couple times and finally went in a tried it. As a start I went with the Chicken Shawarma. I don't remember Carrots being added to a Shawarma and a lettuce toss salad was added as well. Why not it is the 1st time. While mine was being prepared a guy walked up to the counter and told the the guy at the cash "I need a fork, my shawarma broke". A sign of things to come. So I went outside and had a couple bites. Was I ever LET DOWN. No flavor at all. I've never had such a bland shawarma before and i'm not picky. The chicken tasted like pieces were cut up and thrown in a pan (actually that is what happened, I thought it was being heated up). The hot sauce wasn't hot, the lettuce toss salad didn't work and yes my shawarma ended up falling a part, a 1st for me. So no need to try anything else there. The plus side, the place was clean so you get 1 star. No way to Pita Way read more

It was raining really hard and my boyfriend and I happened to pass by this place, so we decided to give this place a try and wait for rain to die down a bit. We ordered two shawarma. I have to say the meat was flavored but the sauces that you normally get in the shawarma wasn't there. I would say I definately had better. read more

This is my first review but I had no choice but to write this. This place has the worst food quality ever! 5 of us had Chicken shawarma and all of us got food poisoning. Make sure to avoid this place! read more

First, I should mention that I am only reviewing the falafel pita, as it's the only thing I've had and will probably ever have from here. I say that because this falafel pita was a life changing experience, because prior to eating it I have only experienced dry and overly spiced falafels. It was crunchy on the outside yet soft on the inside, with all of the vegetables and tahini/hot sauce melding together to delight my taste buds with a multitude of flavours that were warm and cool, spicy and not. Being strapped for cash and in a rush that day, the "falafel pita $3.99" beckoned me to come in, and I was glad I did. Also, the place was really clean and pleasant, and the owner/cashier was great. read more

The lady in the morning is nice and blesses us with more food. The guys in the evening are blunt and give less food; and the guys are slightly rude. Why would you clean the glass protectors next to the food with a direct spray solution followed by wiping; the spray solution, which was blue, clearly goes on the food and contaminates it! read more

Great price for a falafel wrap but not delicious :( The restaurant also smells like a grease pit and very smoky. It felt like I was looking through dirty sunglasses! It seems like there is no exhaust fan so the air was greasy and hazy.....disappointing.... read more

best pita place in town. the owners are incredibly humble and kind. great taste and high quality ingredients. the prices are quite low. tip them well, my friends! read more

Pita Way - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was in here two weeks ago and it was my first time. Usually I love this type of place: the food, convenience, but to my surprise they didn't even acknowledge me being there. I had just come from grocery shopping at Loblaw's across the road, and came in for a wrap. The server at the counter was completing the order for the customer in front of me, so I naturally waited. He did not greet or say anything at first, but that was fine, I simply waited next in line. 10 minutes passed and two other people walk in, two men. The server takes their order, hands the current customer his tray with food (already paid for, I assume). I was next in line, yet I'm ignored in favour of two people who have just entered. Although I'm a bit disappointed, I wait patiently, even attempting to get the server's attention. I wasn't in a hurry, so fast service wasn't my concern. Being acknowledged and greeted...maybe informed if there's going to be a delay in serving me? I would have appreciated that. I waited approx. 15 minutes in total before leaving. No service, nothing. Maybe the food was spectacular. Maybe, for some reason, they didn't like me...I don't know...is it possible that I have the power to become invisible? Perhaps in the Pita Way I do. Disappointed in the lack of courtesy. I will not go in there again... read more

cheapest falafel and shawarma around (starting at 2.99) and they have different sizes as well. I eaten here many times as well, the food taste good,l and the place is usually very quiet. However, I feel like at times the amount of food they put into the wraps depends on who is serving you. read more

Since I often work late and need to eat something with my nightly medicine, finding a place that's open late, not too crowded, and is yummy, and cheap was becoming a bit of a chore in this area. Pita Way has been been my little guardian-falafel-angel lately! The employees here are all very good at what they do. There seems to be an older gentleman or a younger man working whenever I come. The younger man is a little intimidating but he works extremely quick and is pleasant enough. The older man is a complete sweetheart who is happy to answer any questions you have. They also tend to remember repeat customers, which always does make you feel a bit more comfortable in a restaurant. Both of them make some of the biggest sandwich-wraps I've ever seen! They're absolutely packed! I was not expecting to be so completely stuffed from them. The kofta, shawarma, and falafels here are all fantastic. Some of the best I've ever had, surprisingly enough for a little fast food place. The greens and potatos I've gotten haven't been very good, but since I tend to come late, I imagine that's just from being the end-of-the-day leftovers that have sat too long, I bet they're much fresher around lunch and dinner times. The prices are cheap, especially for how big the servings are! The place is bigger than it looks from the outside, but there's rarely anyone in there when I go. Ambience is nice, it's a lot cleaner and better designed than most fast food places in the area. read more

i've always admired the men working behind the counter... veggies and other fillings looks fresh and crisp... I always order falafel as they are the best, plus I became a vegetarian. The falafel size is humongous and thick.. it's a mouthful, around 9 inches long and at least 6 inches thick round... Love it and tastes delicious. I will always go back as they feed me with a really long and thick one.... who wouldn't take a large one? I wouldn't miss this for the world... I love the guys, and what they can offer. The best.... read more

Delicious food at a great price and open late. Prepared with a smile. Great service!!
