Seriously delicious food and large portions. This is not your typical Anglicized Mediterranean…read morefood. This is the real deal -- long marinated, top ingredients, served with juices and sauces that are infused with all the flavor, pride, and love of homemade goodness made by Nadia and her family. The tzatziki is the best I have ever had. The falafels were light, flavorful balls of heaven. The potatoes are saturated with flavor through to their core and served in a delicious broth. And a usually non-descript element of the meal, rice, is so light and has a wonderful flavor and texture. Super long grain and plump, which makes me wonder why every Greek and Indian restaurant isn't using this same variety? The salad was beautifully fresh and crisp, loaded with plentiful toppings, including homemade beet and parsnip pickles. True, the decor is nothing special. You will want to call ahead for larger orders, since everything is made fresh. And you have to drive around the plaza to the back parking lot to get to the walkway to it -- the landlord should be ashamed. But it's definitely worth the wander to find it. They are currently open only on Fridays until the pandemic is better under control, but they're always open for catering orders.

We searched for a lunch place near the riverview zoo as they don't sell meals there, and this place…read morehas a 4.9 out of 5 rating on Google maps! They aren't open on Fridays. So we tried it - between three adults and a kid, we ordered the chicken shawarma, a kabob meal, and a veggie with white beans meal, plus stuffed vine leaves as an appetizer. The fruit punch was very sweet, we added water to it. The apricot paste we had as fruit roll up, not too sweet, tasty so we bought two. All tasted good, we even seemed to have a visit from an auditor or health inspector.

I have been searching for a good Kafta sandwich for sooooooooo long now! And I have finally found…read moreit! Most places over cook the meat so it get dry and tough and loses all its flavour and juices but not these guys. Man was it good, almost as good as my moms. Portions were also great. I live in Mississauga and this was well worth the drive actually I'm sure I'll be back next week. Also their hot sauce is made in house and it is delicious! I also would like to mention usually I don't care about decor in a place but I find most shawarma places to be dull and tacky but this place was so pleasant I actually stayed and ate there. Which I usually don't. If you're in the area give these guys a try! I will update my review as I try more from their menu. So far 5 stars from me just for the Kafta alone!

However, the amount of chicken in the wrap was plentiful and everything was inexpensive. The Baba Ghanoush was outstanding. I love eggplant and this was probably my favorite Baba Ghanoush I've ever had. My roommate ordered the Chicken Shawarma Platter which came with a side of hummus which I was also able to sample. This hummus was smooth and creamy which I much prefer over thicker hummus which can be pasty. I will absolutely be getting the hummus and Baba Ghanoush from here again.

Tried Baraka Eats through Too Good To Go and wow--it absolutely delivered…read more We ordered through Too Good To Go and got two chicken over rice dinners and an order of sambusa. Everything was incredible. The chicken was juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The rice paired so well with it--every bite hit. The sambusa was just as good--crispy on the outside with a flavorful, well-seasoned filling inside. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. Definitely coming back for more.

It's more of a takeout style place, but there is seating along both of the storefront windows. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The service was great. We chose to eat at the restaurant and they brought our food out to us. I ordered the mixed rice bowl (chicken & steak) and my cousin got the chicken. It was sooo tasty and flavorful. The rice was a perfect texture and not bland. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The beef was good too, but I preferred the chicken. The sauces to go on top were all great... Garlic sauce, hot sauce and a salsa-y sauce. The garlic was my favorite. The portion size was good too; it was enough for me to have 2 and a 1/2 lunches. My cousin really enjoyed her bowl as well. We saved room for dessert because, after all, it is called eats and treats! My cousin got the Dubai strawberry cup, but I didn't end up getting anything; my heart was set on kunafa, but since they were short staffed that day, it was not ready yet. I am not a big fan of milk chocolate, but my cousin shared a few bites of her dessert with me and I did enjoy it. The kataifi gave it a nice crunch. I do plan to visit again. I might call first to see if they have kunafa though because it is quite a drive for me to get there... And I don't want my inner fat kid to be disappointed again.

Service was a self serve kiosk, however at handoff the guy is super easy going and friendly. Ordered the traditional, nothing fancy poutine, and was still wowed by it. Nice crisp fries and very good gravy. There was a hint of sweetness in it, which I want to say they put a dab of maple syrup in there recipe, but I'm not really sure! Anyways - will definitely find a chance to visit again on my next trip!

Absolutely FANTASTIC Poutine here!…read more I ordered their regular with nothing fancy - just excellent fries, LOTS of delicious gravy & cheese curds. I damn near died when they handed it to me - felt like 3 pounds of food! I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to put a dent in it when I opened it but then a small miracle happened - I started eating... and couldn't stop! I ate damn near the whole thing and was stuffed but couldn't stop until I was down to the scraps. Incredibly delicious, very filling (my main meal this day) and extremely reasonable priced! If you like Poutine - and how could you not - this place is your Mecca!
