Decent but rather expensive falafel place right next to Superstore…read more Parking is plentiful in the Superstore parking lot. The food can be had either in shawarma form ($8), or in plate form (shawarma with sides such as rice) ($15 or so). They must be making a killing here. The place is a bit slow to make the food, but the quality is decent. However, the sauce is a bit on the liquidy side. I ended up making a mess when my lunch leaked. Not sure if anyone cares, but they have gluten free options. Worth trying once, but the price makes me hesitant to come by too often.

Got the veggie deluxe platter which included 3 falafel, fried eggplant, potatoes, hummus, choice of…read moresalad, pita, and dips. The menu in store said it also came with 2 grape leaves but those were not there. I liked the tabbouli, which was fresh and extra lemony. The falafels and eggplant were too oily. It was good that the falafels were extra crispy but I felt like I could taste the oil itself, and the eggplant was completely soggy with oil. The potatoes did not have the excess grease problem and were nicely seasoned. The hummus was good but drizzled with oil which was the last thing I wanted more of. The pita was the kind you can buy at the grocery store, would have been nicer if it was warmed up. The veggie deluxe plate was about $20 after tax, which is towards the upper end of prices for donair shops. This plate does contain more of a variety than the falafel plates at lots of shops though. The amount of food was enough that I felt full. I can't really say if it was worth it because I was so turned off by the greasy eggplant that I wasn't able to really enjoy it. To me the staff was neither friendly nor unfriendly. Anything with falafel takes a little longer because they fry them to order, so considering that, the wait time for my food was reasonable.

One of these days, I'm going to sit down in the restaurant and give a review on that end. For now, all I can speak on is the food. I ordered my lunch at the office from SkipTheDishes. The Greek salad was tangy, vibrant, and crisp with a tang from the green olives and a zip from the feta. The flavours mingled into a fresh, onion-fueled bite topped with cleansing lettuce and cucumber alongside fresh sliced tomato. The mixed shawarma donair in tannour bread? If you're ever ordering from here, do *not* miss out on the Tannour bread. Light, crispy, flavourful, and a perfect shell to hold the fillings of juicy meats, veggies, sauces and all. Combined with their house hummus and hot sauce? You can't go wrong. The whole meal was filling, flavour packed, and healthier than other options. You can literally taste the freshness. I would have liked more feta and olive in my salad, as a personal preference, and couldn't find any chicken in my "mixed shawarma", but nonetheless, I did enjoy it very much. If looking for a good appy, I recommend their "lentil soup" or "seasoned potatoes as well (be warned these are oiled up but oh so good!) I'll continue to be a regular at Crispy Falafel when ordering lunch, and continue to recommend to friends and family ;)

My husband had the kibbeh platter with the same accompaniments. We both loved our dishes. The staff were friendly. We returned a few nights later, but found we would have to do takeaway as seating was too limited. This time I tried the chicken platter with rice. While it was very tasty, the rice was quite oily and it repeated on me later, so I wouldn't buy this entree again. Overall though the food quality and taste is quite good. If I were to advise the owners, I would tell them to remove the large tables and place smaller ones. We would have been able to dine in if 2 large tables were replaced with 4 smaller ones.

This is very comforting food. Rice platters for me and donairs for him - we're both satisfied and always left happy. No picture of the donair because I battle a hangry person and they don't always photograph the best - but trust me: they are good!! We also tried the baklava and it was good! Flaky and a nice honey flavour - I am no connoisseur for that but at the end of the day I am team savoury over sweet so it wasn't my favourite but don't let that deter you from trying it if it is up your alley. Nice owners and decent pricing for portion. they have a small seating area to devour your food as well.

Considering it's also the same price as superbaba I would suggest that of you're looking for a falafel save your money and go elsewhere. Staff were polite and place was clean for what that's worth. Hope you chicken lovers find something decent but if falafel is what you're seeking this is a hard pass.

The tomatoes in the Greek salad were on the verge of being mushy (I ate them, but considered discarding them, and if they'd been any more mushy I would've thrown them out), the hummus was grainy, the pickled onions tasted kind of funky, the samosa wrapper was not crisp, the dolma filling was weirdly dense, the pita was store-bought and very thin (I recognize this is intentional and a style some people like, I just prefer a thicker pita for dipping). The toum was really good, but that did not make up for everything else going on. They get a second star from me because when I ordered I also bought a bottle of their ayran to drink later, and that did end up being pretty good, so I feel my rating should acknowledge that there was something that wasn't a complete miss. But I definitely wouldn't eat here again.
