This Armenian restaurant gets 2.5 stars…read more Tanabour was rich, thick & creamy. Yogurt & mint meant it was a bit of an acquired taste, but it was decent.  Samsak was decent. The crumb was crumbly, though slightly dry. The beef tasted decent, though it was a little dry.  Ghacourma was alright. The beef was slightly dry. It came on rice which was confusing given the menu description. We got complimentary prepackaged lavash & pita on request to make the sandwiches, but given how simple the flavour was the sandwich didn't work as it was too dry & plain (since the bread was even drier & less flavourful than the rice). The dish was rather one dimensional without any sauce as the beef was very simply cooked. The rice was also simply cooked with pine nuts.

We decided to get takeout from lavash for lunch…read more Overall, the food was ready on time and packaged nicely so everything was easy to unpack and eat. The hummus and eggplant dip were fantastic. Great flavor, great texture. The salad had crisp lettuce and shredded cheese. The baked potato bread strips add a great crunch to the salad. The meats were all flavorful and cooked well without being dry. Our favorite was the eggplant appetizer which had tons of flavor and texture - just so interesting the way it's put together. Price: It is definitely pricier than your typical restaurant but the quality is definitely high.

This place is SPOTLESS, the food is FRESH, the mujadarah rice outstanding. The marinades they use for the beef is addictive. Simply put: the best shawarma, rice and lentil soup in Ontario.

I think bbq sauce on shawarma should be illegal, it doesn't work at all. I thought Johnny Shawarmas was a lot better than this. This is the last time I will come to Aleppo kabob price wasn't bad for the amount of food they give you but taste was not good at all.

I had come here on a Friday afternoon at around 2:30 pm, as we were visiting a place nearby, and…read morewanted something to eat. Since this was the closest restaurant, I decided to dine-in, choosing a chicken shawarma. Upon entering, I was greeted with a beautiful fountain of water, with large open spaces, which were mostly empty, given the time of day. I had walked-up to the sign that said to wait to be seated, however, the hostess was not present. I then greeted the individual behind the counter, whom then asked the hostess to come by. The hostess provided me with a menu, as I chose a seat. I knew that I wanted something quick therefore, I quickly ordered, then waited about seven minutes for my order to arrive. The shawarma itself was quite tasty however, there was quite a bit of lettuce, with not as much chicken as I would have liked. It was filling as well, keeping me full for hours afterwards. The price was also reasonable, given the amount that I had received. Overall, this restaurant did provide a tasty meal however, it wasn't as tasty as I would have hoped. There were definitely many items on the menu, making it hard to narrow it down to one. However, if I'm in the area again, I would definitely give this place another try, as the authenticity of the food seems to be quite high.

It is always a treat to discover exciting places deeply rooted in authenticity without compromising on quality. The BEST Labneh, Cheese and Zatar Pie/Manakeesh I have found since residing in the Middle East all those years ago. Bonus points for having a warm and inviting atmosphere reminiscent of my childhood. Beautiful ambiance and prompt, friendly service. Delicious, subtly sweet Baklava too. Will return the next time I am in town.

The restaurant is VERY STRICT with adhering to a TIME LIMIT for seating…read more Signs on the table say: "We request you limit your sit in time to 45 minutes from the time you receive your order on the table." No matter how much food your party orders, no matter how large your party is, you must adhere to this time limit rule. We ordered Koobideh Kebab (ground beef) and chicken leg kebab with rice. It was very well-flavoured with saffron basmati rice and a chargrilled tomato. It was all very delicious. Darband Restaurant has been one our family's preferred places to dine at over the years, especially when we are looking for decent quality Persian cuisine near the Don Mills area.

On this occasion, we got the gyro sandwich and the beef shawarma sandwich. Decent amount of gyro but definitely looks commercially made and reheated. Flavor is good. Toppings were fresh and sauces/hummus were tasty. Beef shawarma was a bit on the dry side but stil decently good flavor. The shawarma are okay sized, not super filled but decently filled.

The food itself is good and the prices are even better - the two of us got a wrap each and the bill came up to $13... Even better since there's no tax at the moment. I will say my chicken shawarma wrap was a little bit on the dry side but I'm assuming it's because it was almost closing time and I got the last little bit! Will definitely come back!!
