Shawarma is Too oily. They also don't "warm up" the pita bread. Other than that, I have no problem!

Had the Frenzy Shawarma - the headline menu item. Unfortunately, it was very unevenly assembled. Some parts of the wrap were all cabbage, while others were mostly meat. It was the most uneven doner/shawarma/gyros I'd ever had, so it tasted odd, with some bites being very crunchy (due to them being essentially just cabbage). The meat on its own tasted only so so, so even a shawarma assembled with more care wouldn't have been particularly noteworthy. This place is also the most stingy with sauce ever - my shawarma was super dry. read more

$8.75 for chicken shawarma is an unbeatable deal. Plus, it tastes great. The staff working there are a bit frenzied...pun intended. Seriously, their shawarma is not just affordable but it tastes freakin' great. I'm glad I stopped by for a bite. Keep in mind that they do not have adequate seating. This place is primarily a take-out spot. read more

I love this place. The shwarma wrap is so tasty and fresh. Shwarma meat is fresh tender, not at all greasy. I have also tried the Shwarma dinner, which is also excellent, all very fresh, and I love that it comes in two sizes (I found the small perfect portion for one) read more

Shawarma Frenzy - small shwarma dinner - Middle Eastern Near Me - East York, Ontario

NOW we're talking! This tastes so much like the shawarmas I used to have back in Montreal when I was in university. I got a chicken shawarma with a few extras - tabbouli and hummus. It's filled with pickles, onions, radishes, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage... I opted for the shawarma sauce (with hummus) which is likely that whitish garlicky, yummy sauce that most shawarma places have. The hummus is a really nice addition to mix in as well. The size of the thing is big, the bread looks like it was briefly put inside a panini maker and is toasty and warm, and the whole thing tastes hella-delicious. I'm halfway done my shawarma and I'm full but can't stop eating - asking for a friend. *gobbles it all up* DE-licious. *licks wrapper* read more

I ordered the small Shawarma Plate. Good value as I received a good amount of food for the price. For me there was a balanced ratio of chicken to rice. Chicken was seasoned and not dry and yellow rice was fluffy. Sauces complimented the meal - tahini, hot, and garlic. There was a seperate smaller styrofoam container for the salad vegetables. Overall, good but not a standout. read more

A very worthy contender for me for best shawarma options in the East York area, Shawarma Frenzy does not have an extensive menu, but they do things right for the dishes they hone in on. The chicken shawarma is by far and obvious the way to go - you just have to make your mind up if you prefer it in a warp or over a bed of fragrant rice. No matter what meal size option you choose to get if you opt for a chicken shawarma platter, comes with a generous heaping of moist chicken over yellow rice and a side salad + pickled veggies. And doused in a lip smacking shawarma sauce. If you just want to grab a tasty burger, you can do that too. But if you do, get a burger with a side of chicken shawarma. read more

One of the best shawarma spots in Toronto. The chicken is very tender and well-seasoned. Very tasty with garlic and hot sauces. The falafel were crispy despite the ride in the car home. Portions are very large, so good value for money. I would recommend this spot to anyone. read more

Woaaa Second time i order here and this is definitely one of the best shawarma places in toronto. Chicken is so good, everything so fresh and tasty, and the portion is so huge. A favorite of mine now. I just do not want them to reduce portions or be less perfect in the future after reading all these good reviews. Keep up the good job. read more

Shawarma frenzy is our go to spot for shawarma! We love getting the frenzy fries, which is sooooooo delicious. It's a pita pressed with fries and coleslaw. Do yourself a favor and order the frenzy fries! read more

I've driven by this spot a few times a week for the last couple of years and it has only recently caught my eye because of my current shawarma craze. Finally tried it a few nights ago. The chicken shawarma (no beef) is hand cut from the spit so it is in nice chunks not like the paper thin shavings from Tasty. The wrap is large with lots of flavourful chicken. The tang and crunch from the turnips, pickles and banana peppers was perfect as were the other garnishes. The sauces are absolutely the best I've had so far. The large shawarma plate is so large that it is probably best to go small. The rice was great (again saffron?), the mixed salad too and the pickled turnips still had a nice crunch to it. The sauces, however, are on another level, especially the garlic sauce. Perfectly tangy and garlicky. I could have that sauce on everything!! My new go to spot for chicken shawarma. (Empire for beef) read more

Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. A gem of a flavour surprise on Pape just south of Cosburn, I highly recommend Shawarma Frenzy if you have yet to try them. If you have tried them then time to order again! The food is fresh, generous, so delicious and made with skill and love. Clean and cozy, the dining area is unpretentious, yet comfortable and spotless. This is the kind of resto whose food you want to eat every week (and more!) and feel good about. The vibe behind the counter is grounded, happy, the kind of energy you want cooking and serving your food. Vegetarian or meat eater you will feel satisfied. Nutritious and delicious I give Shawarma Frenzy 10 gold stars! read more

I absolutely love falafels and this place makes them so so so so tasty !! They are fresh to order. I saw them make up the falafel batter and scoop them out and into the fryer. They are homemade and fresh! If you are in a rush, perhaps this wouldn't work for you, but if you want good falafels, this place will not disappoint! I ordered a falafel platter for me and a falafel wrap for my husband to go. The falafel platter had a salad, 3 falafels (they are quite large) and hummus. The tahini and hot sauce on top complimented the dish. I had the small platter and it was filling. It hit the spot! The inside has plenty of tables, suited for groups of 2-4 people. It was clean and well maintained. Service was super friendly and inviting. I would go back again and again for their falafels. So good. read more

I had a chicken shawarma wrap today for lunch and I really enjoyed it. It was really well made & tasty. I got mine with everything except spicy sauce. Service was quick and friendly. The place looked very clean. I will 100% be eating here again. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Great service and delicious food. Nice little family owned business - they had a lineup I was so happy for them!

I am a foolish silly little man. I live very close to Shawarma Frenzy and I also love Shawarma. This place has been open for a couple years and my first visit was last week. The stretch of Pape where this restaurant resides has seen a lot of turnover - and in most cases - deservedly so. This is why I completely ignored SF as long as I did until I stumbled on the reviews from this site. Everything positive that anyone else has already said it 100% true. I have only ever had the chicken shawarma plate (3 times in a week) and here are the highlights: - fresh fresh fresh - succulent chicken - tasty sauces that are not over-powering - great rice (didn't think I cared but it makes a difference) - amazing value, so much food for $8 Thus far I have only dropped by for pick-up orders but don't be afraid to eat-in as it's nice, clean and modern space. read more

A friend recommended Shawarma Frenzy, and she absolutely needed me to check them out - she literally asked if I had been on a weekly basis. So finally, on a Sunday afternoon, I decided to give them a shot. When I walked in around 1pm, the restaurant was completely empty and the staff were in the back. Within a minute one of the owners came out and asked me for my order. I asked her what each size looked like because I have found that not all small and large plates look alike. When she showed me the size of the small (looked like a medium to large to me), that's the size I went with. I also ordered a side of falafel. Each meal came with the choice of a drink or soup, and since I had heard great things about their soup, I just had to try it. The Good: Ingredients are fresh Care is taken into plating and quality Very reasonable prices Great portions Tasty food Friendly service BEST SOUP EVER! The soup was so delicious that I ordered one to go - large container for $1.99. The Not So Good: The soup was so flavourful and layered with flavors, the falafels not so much. I offered some to a friend that loves falafels and she did not care for them either. The shawarma plate was tasty, but not memorable. It needed a kick of flavor. After the soup, everything else simply did not meet expectations. The takeout container was flimsy, so my soup leaked all over the bag even though I held it upright the entire time. By the time I got home, half the soup was at the bottom of the bag. Even though I asked for no onions (hate them!), I ended up finding some in the dish. All in all, this family owned restaurant offers tasty food at very reasonable prices, and you will not leave hungry. read more

Really good. Fair portions. Usually get the chicken shawarma platter and it's always something that satisfies and fixes the lunch hunger. Recommend. read more

Came here for lunch today, it was pretty good and the cost was $7.05 taxes in for a small chicken shawarma plate. It was more than enough food and you get a choice of pop or soup and I got the lentil soup. It was clean inside and the lady who was serving was very sweet. read more

Shawarma Frenzy - Small chicken shawarma plate to go. - Middle Eastern Near Me - East York, Ontario

Shawarma Frenzy is a Pape Village staple. It's a family business that seems dedicated to providing exceptional food for a great value. What could be better than that? The chicken shawarma plate is a real star here, at a nearly unheard of price point of under 10 dollars. They raised the price recently because of increasing rent and it's still excellent value. The shawarma meat is truly great, among the best I've had in the city, and it comes with a lovely salad and some nice rice. It's a great option for a cheap, hearty, healthy, and delicious dinner. The very slight difference in price between plates and wraps led me to avoid the wraps for a while, which was something of a mistake. The first time I ordered a shawarma wrap, I was very impressed by how well it was put together. It was an impeccably constructed wrap, with every bite giving a perfect combination of meat and veggies until the somewhat traditional sauce-soggy end. Falafel are fresh, made to order, and also great. The wrap and plate are great options for vegans or vegetarians. Because they're made fresh they'll take 10 to 20 minutes. Shawarma Frenzy is so deeply excellent that I often have a hard time justifying getting Greek options in the area. SF just seems like better value. Go as soon as possible! read more

What a gem of a place this is, hidden away on paper and Floyd Ave, this little place served the most delectable Shawarmas and Falafel wraps for miles. The best part is the price, a frenzy Shawarmas for $6.75 and a falafel for $5 and a bit. Highly recommend read more

When it comes to good shawarma, the secret sauce is simply "care". Does the shawarma artist behind the counter care about the balance of ingredients throughout the wrap? Shawarma Frenzy cares. Their wrap is put together very thoughtfully and the quality of ingredients is high. The cherry on top is the consistency - I've started coming here weekly and it's just as good, every time. This is some of the best shawarma I've had in Toronto. Deserves a visit. read more

$7.05 (tax-in) for a small chicken shawarma platter that comes with your choice of soup or drink? I'm in! Fresh food, chicken shawarma was well seasoned and cut right off the spit! Their housemade white garlic sauce is to die for! Their lentil soup is simple and light. Very tasty and heart warming. I love how the salad is comprised of mixed greens rather than generic iceberg lettuce at most shawarma spots. Service is friendly and they even bring your meal to you! 2 big screen TV's playing CP24 so you can watch the news during lunch/dinner. Lol. If this place does not offer you bang for your buck, I don't know what does. read more

The best shawarma in the whole worrrrrrld I am a neighbour so I am always there. The salads are always fresh & crunch. It's not a fancy place and maybe not suitable for a date, however perfect for take out and when I have friends over I just get two large platters to go and it can feed a million people. Price is a plus. Staff is friendly read more

Any lunch that leaves me satisfied under $8... you will probably get a 5 star rating. The shwarma plate had lots of vegetables, from the fresh salad and pickled sides. The rice was flavorful, the meat and sauces on top, to die for! It gets busy around lunch time during the work week (I've been twice), so be prepared to wait a bit for your meal. If you are north of the Pape and Danforth area and looking for shwarma, this is the spot, just go. read more

This has become my favourite shawarma joint. Juicy/tender meat, fresh ingredients, fast and friendly service, generous portions and very reasonable prices. Things I tried here: - Shawarma wrap, 5 stars, one of the best I've ever had in Toronto - Lentil soup, 4 stars, could use a little more volume/flavour - Shawarma plate, 5 stars, big portions, great tasting sauces/ingredients - Falafels, 5 stars, freshly made, some of the best in TO as well Note: chicken is the only meat option here. read more

THE BEST chicken shawarma and falafel wrap in the city! My husband and I order from here at least once a week. I can't say enough about this place. Delicious! read more

The large shawarma platters are large. I came with friends and we had large shawarma platters and a couple of sides and it was a bit much even though we were hungry. But it was a good mix of food so you could get the large without sides and annoy it that way. The fries were nice with a little herb/spice powder on them. The falafels took time because they were cooked fresh for us and were very tasty. Enjoyed the food, will come back. read more

I skipped this place for a long time because it was in my neighbourhood and didn't really stand out. Their platter is a LOT of good food for the price. They've raised the prices a little since, but it's understandable. read more

Shawarma Frenzy - Probably best value platter in town. - Middle Eastern Near Me - East York, Ontario

Amazing food at low price. I got frenzy fries, chicken shwarma and a chicken plate. The shwarma and chicken plate came with 2 lentil soups. Everything was less than $20 after tax Shwarma was great, packed with meat and ample toppings. Frenzy fries is a must try, its a wrap with freshly fried fries, coleslaw and very saucy. Chicken plate had 2 sizes. Small is plenty for 1 person. The lady making the food. Took her time and made sure she assembled the toppings perfectly and evenly. She was very pleasant and took her time to explain everything on the menu to me. Overall 5 stars! Great people, great food, low price. What more can you ask for? read more

My hubby and I are big fans of Middle Eastern food and have tried many falafel places in Toronto over the years. We are thrilled that we can now get excellent falafel in our Pape Village neighbourhood thanks to Shawarma Frenzy! The falafel was freshly fried and crispy on the outside - perfect! The salad was fresh and the rice and sides were tasty. We highly recommend them! read more

Very nice and friendly owner. Fresh and crisp lettuce and other veggies. Flavorful and moist meat. Right amount of sauce. He toasted the wrap which really made it tastes so much better. One chicken wrap was more than enough food for me. Spacious dining area with napkins available for each table. Accept credit card as well. No complaints about this place! read more

Shawarma Frenzy - Chicken wrap - Middle Eastern Near Me - East York, Ontario

Went here yesterday on a whim, around 3 pm the lady who was working was friendly and the place was clean. I was originally thinking of getting a french fries but then I asked her about the frenzy fries , they are a fries and a sort of coleslaw with various sauces wrapped in a pita. It was tasty! Only thing I personally think it could have used is some veggies however it waas very filling and only $4. I will definitely go back! read more

Shawarma Frenzy - Large Chicken Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - East York, Ontario

Agreed with all previous posts that the food is very flavourful, the salads very fresh, and the owners are lovely. Take out is always quick, travels well, and same generous portions as dining in. Probably one of the best meals and deals in Pape Village. The chicken shawarma is known for its secret marinade but the rice is also outstanding with unique seasonings. They add pickled veg toppings to the salad made in house. Once you try this place you will develop cravings! read more

I am always on the lookout for great shawarma and this is real deal. I had the shawarma plate and it was a very generous helping but most importantly the chicken was nice juicy. Really delicious seasoning and the garlic sauce was perfect. The service was very friendly. My one suggestion to the owners is to play some background music. The silence is a bit strange and just a bit of light tunes would jazz things up. Can't wait to go back. read more

Food is very good but they're quite disorganized and inefficient. For newcomers you have no idea if you're supposed to order and pay at the cash first or place your order at the food counter before paying. I hope they put some clearer processes in place so everyone can get their food faster. read more

Standard shawarma fare. I've had the chicken wrap, dinner and falafel wrap before. Nothing to write home about, wish they put more meat in the dinners. It's not bad at all. I will be going back, but only cause I'm very close to this location in a sea of Greek restaurants. read more
