It's About Time is Lebanese food with specialties from Beirut. It's a store front restaurant with…read morea pretty spartan interior. Most of their business is take out although there is room for maybe four people to sit at two counters. The owner was super friendly and accommodating. I asked him to make me a vegetarian plate of mixed salads and falafel while I moved my car. (The lot behind the restaurant doesn't belong to them and you'll get towed!) The pita, humus, babaganoush, papas bravos, and pickled turnips were very good. The standouts: 1. the lightest, airiest falafel I've ever had. If I knew felafel could be this good, I'd order it more often. 2. Rice with cardamum pods. Why have I never had cardmum in rice before? I've eaten at literally dozens of Middle Eastern restaurants, and this was a first. It was a new taste and absolutely raised the bar on the rice. Finally It's about Thyme was a bargain. I think I paid C$15 for an overflowing plate of food plus a bottle of water. The portion was so generous that I took it home and ate the leftovers for lunch the following day. And here's a lagniappe: the restaurant is across the street from the Salem Chapel British Methodist Episcopal Church where Harriet Tubman was a member. St. Catherarines, Ontario was one of the end points for the Underground Railroad.

We don't eat enormous quantities, so I can only comment on the fabulous Baba Ghanouj and the Donair meat sandwich. Donair is lamb and beef; the sandwich was wrapped in pita bread, filled chock full of meat, lettuce, onions, garlic and accompanied by delicious pickles (unlike store-bought, maybe sour?) and Tahini sauce. The Baba was unlike what usually passes for that, but small chop of eggplant, tomatoes, with pomegranate seeds and sauce. It was just fabulous! We were in the area for a competition, so stopped by again the next day to sample something else. Needed just a snack, so had another eggplant concoction, Mutabel. It was also delicious and more like what is served as Baba Ghanouj in the States. Very garlicky and delicious. The prices were reasonable. We had a nice chat with the family who runs the restaurant, who are refugees from Syria, a really nice family. The restaurant is decorated with lovely inlay pieces, and Syrian art. The service was friendly and quick though most tables were full at lunch.

I've always been a fan off the shawarma place and I just love the signature hot sauce because it's actually really really really spicy.

That is such a Signature step! The fries are yummy and I also got s free drink with my combo. For all the kids, they have Pakola and Fanta as well! The shwarma is yummy a d so are the fries!!

The owners are very nice and friendly. The restaurant is very clean. And the poutine is the best poutine in all of Canada. My husband and I tried the mixed meat shawarma poutine on our first day here and we are back again getting more, and we are planning to come back to take some home. The shawarma beef and chicken is amazing. It's cooked properly and melts in your mouth. The chicken on the rocks is another great meal we tried. I would travel across the border from the states again just to be able to eat here again. I would rate more than 5 stars if possible.

I was surprised to see that this late night Shawarma stop was not on Yelp, and even though it's not the best I've ever had in St Catharine's, it's really good and they're friendly and tasty. We can't judge it by Toronto standards - the best shawarma city I've ever been to - and although it's been a while since I had anything here I'll definitely check it out again when I'm back in St. Catharines and take better pictures. just thought that they deserve to be on Yelp since I came in here a while ago and was reminded of it when I was in this Plaza just few weeks ago. Yum. 3 or 4 if it was in Toronto. 5 in St C.
