    Mixed plate chicken and beef with hummus
    Tiffany C.

    Perfect place to get your shawarma! Perfect portions for individuals or even sharing!! Comes with pita bread every order! I got the chicken and beef mixed plate! Sooo yummy!! The chicken and beef consistency was perfect and so juicy! Definitely would come back for more! They were super fast with the food and made sure my whole order was perfect! I ordered a total of 6 items, things came out within 15-20 minutes!

    I've heard of Falafel Cafe through Yelp and wanted something yummy for my lunch yesterday. I called in for a phone order to get a mixed Plate of beef and chicken($12.99). Food was pretty good, but I felt like something was missing. I'm so used to seeing Chicken Donair with Tabouli salad, meat, rice, Pita bread and potato. My food only came with meat,rice, salad (NO tabouli salad) Pita bread and Hummus with Tahini sauce. Food is on the smaller side. Besides there wasn't enough Hummus in it. I honestly love both Hummus and Tahini sauce in my food. Service was fast!

    Beef and chicken mix plate sub Tabbouleh

    If you want reliable tasty shawarma, This is the SPOT!! We've ordered take out here on Uber eats already 3x in the last few months and this place does not disappoint with flavour and juicy meat! We had got this time: * Chicken & Falafel Mix Plate with Tabbouleh * Chicken & Beef Mix Plate with Tabbouleh Both come with Rice, tasty hummus and pita. We had subbed both our plates with Tabbouleh instead of their salad, super tasty and fresh! I must say their chicken and beef is NEVER DRY, that's always so nice when you find a Donair place that dosent serve dry meat! Their falafel is soooo crispy and super tasty, one of the best falafels I've had for take out cause usually they end up soggy or soft but still kept its crunch after 30mins! Overall highly recommend this little business!

    Little cafe that looks good on Google search so went and turned out to be the BEST decision ever. Friendly service and clean area. Small but couple tables inside and outside. Right in front of a bus stop and some street parking around (on the same street too). Take outs are available too. Amazing and delicious food. One of the best salad and falafel I've ever had! Highly recommend and will definitely go back!

    Over the weekend, we tried Shawarma Cafe... and it was delicious! I chose the Mixed Plate (with Chicken and Falafel) while fiancé chose the Lamb Shank Plate. Both come with house salad, hummus, and fresh homemade pita bread. For mine, I was able to choose three sauces to go with it, in which I chose Tzatziki, tahini, and garlic sauces. They all went well with the meal. And the hummus was ! Fiancé really enjoyed his Lamb Shank! I must say though, the fresh cut Chicken shawarma was so good! My favourite of the whole meal. Also, even the rice was flavourful. Definitely highly recommend!

    Ordered through skip to try it out. I got the chicken plate w/pita on the side. I think they make their own pita, so it was good. Also ordered the veggie samosa. 7$ for a samosa was kinda over priced I would say. I thought it would come with the sweet sauce other places usually give with samosas. But I got some other sauce, wasn't my vibe.

    A cute place to grab a bite to eat. They have an awesome selection on their menu, and the food is delicious. They provide friendly and efficient customer service. I come here regularly and will continue to do so!

    Leg of lamb platter
    Justin F.

    My buddy brought over a shawarma platter takeout platter from here and it hands down had to be one of the best I've ever had in this town. The best part is the pitas are freshly home made. Since trying it, this place has been a weekly meal for our family now. The leg of lamb is outstanding and their mixed chicken/beef plate is a must-try! You won't be disappointed!

    My order. All of it was amazing

    I've attached my order. This place is underrated. Affordable, quick, great packaging and amazing taste. You won't regret it!

I ordered a hibiscus tea while I waited for my friend. It was incredibly refreshing and flavorful, the best I have ever had. For food, we shared a bunch of stuff. We got a dip sampler with labneh, hummus, and an eggplant dip. All were fantastic and came out beautifully. They brought gluten free crackers out for me as well. The shrimp was divine. Garlicky, flavorful, so good. Will be thinking about this for a while. Definitely order sides, as the proteins just come with the protein listed unless you do a lunch special. The halloumi fries were incredible and came with an amazing sauce. Fried in a dedicated gluten free frier- amazing. The food was paired with a lovely aperol spritz, a lovely patio, and a kind and attentive server. Would go back every week if I could.

We went fairly late and found out that their last call was at 8:30 PM--something to keep in mind if you're planning a visit. Overall, I enjoyed the food profile, though the service could definitely be improved. It was challenging to get the server's attention, and some cutlery was missing until we asked for it. My friend and I shared the Mezza Sampler - Hot ($32), which included 2 falafel, 2 kibbeh, cauliflower, and halloumi fries. Each dish was quite good, but the highlight for me was definitely the fried cauliflower. It was served with tahini, tzatziki, and pita bread. I'd recommend this more for sharing, as it can get a bit greasy. Our other friends ordered the Lentil Soup (small - $5), served with bread crisps, and the Batata Narra ($10), which are potatoes in a tomato chilli sauce. They said both dishes were good, though the Batata Narra wasn't spicy at all.

We were greeted with a warm embrace and a comforting welcome drink of chai tea paired with delicious finger foods. ​The Dine-Out menu was impressively extensive. While we initially struggled to choose just one salad, one soup, one cold mezze, and three mains, we were thrilled to learn it functioned like a Mediterranean All You Can Eat--allowing us to order more dishes as we went. We felt like kids in a candy store, eager to explore the vibrant, exotic flavours. The mango-infused dishes were a standout! ​The service was impeccable. One server even followed us outside just to hand us cardamom cookies for the road. Many restaurants treat Dine Out as a budget-set menu, but East is East used it to truly showcase their best work. We left with new favorites and a plan to return very soon.
