I was grocery shopping nearby with my hubby, and about to head home when the cravings suddenly hit…read morefor shawarma. We passed so many places along the way, but couldn't figure out which one would be a hit or possibly even a miss. Honestly, I had no idea what to expect. My search just had me looking for a place that made fresh food, not a franchise chain, but a place with some great reviews. This is how we found Mister Laffa Shawarma House. Instantly when I walked in and saw the spit of juicy fresh chicken shawarma, I knew we found THE spot! We were greeted warmly when we walked in. 2 gentleman working, one making FRESH (OMG) laffa bread, and the other slicing up the chicken for the people ahead of us. The assortment of vegetables and sandwich wrap toppings were fresh, very cleanly arranged and set up. The juicy glistening chicken had me right away and I made a beeline to the counter to order. Hubby and I ordered 2 chicken shawarma plates. This came with the options of: Rice with lentils - wow this was so amazing - I make this at home myself, so I was super impressed! Salad options including tabbouleh and building your own with options including: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onions Fresh warm laffa bread - I could have eaten 2-3 of these myself (order a sandwich with this bread - you will not be disappointed!) Hummus Garlic sauce Tahini Coleslaw Onions with sumac Some of their options for sandwiches and plates include: Chicken Shish Kebab (dark or white meat) Beef Shish Kebab Lamb Shish Kebab Kefta Lamb Shish Kebab We stuck with salad and tabbouleh, hummus on the side, rice with lentils and garlic & tahini sauce. Each platter came with 1 laffa bread - we loved it so much they gave us 2 extra at no charge. The chicken was so fresh and full of flavour, dark meat that was juicy and not dry at all, the seasoning was perfection. Truthfully, this meal was so fresh and so good, that it tasted homemade. I took away 1 star for the hummus, tahini & garlic sauce. Hummus needed more garlic and lemon, garlic sauce the garlic was really suttle and a bit on the runny side and same with the tahini. Vaughan def has a lot of great shawarma options, that I am really looking forward to trying. I will also be returning here ti try some of the other meat options, plus I am already craving the fresh laffa! Stay tuned!

Even though they used days old meat, they were so stingy and gave so little. I threw out my shawarma wrap after a couple bites. Quality of food is terrible, never coming back again to this location.

This is 100% a burrito wrapper, I don't know if they ran out but this tasted like a garbage burrito. Way overpriced and I really was disappointed. The Haloumi bites and the fries were good but it's not called fries 360. I normally like to post a great pic but unfortunately all I can post is this thin excuse for a pita.

First off I have to start with a negative they had a promotion at the front saying 20.99 for two…read moredinners when I asked them inside they said only falafel. I think that is very misleading on their end. I got the mixed shawarma dinner it's 20 bucks plus tax, they load it up with chicken and beef and hot sauce and pomegranate molasses. The meat was really tender and it tasted really good with the tahini and pomegranate molasses. The rice was cooked perfectly and the parsley commented the meal well.

The falafel deserves a special mention--it was hands down the best falafel I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, light and flavorful on the inside, and cooked to perfection. The place is spotless, and you can tell they take pride in both the quality of their food and the cleanliness of the place. The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming, and make you feel appreciated as a customer. The portions are huge, the ingredients are fresh, and every bite was delicious.

I read an article once, where the author would check the bathroom before ordering, because the…read morecleanliness of the bathroom reveals how clean the kitchen is. Needless to say, I should have checked the bathroom before ordering at this restaurant. The bathroom was dirty and there were stains on the wall. I did not feel comfortable.... Also, for the food, I ordered a combo that came with a drink and fries and added an extra shawarma on the side. The person on cash ringed in a two shawarma combo and charged the drink and fries separately. By doing this, I had to pay almost $2 extra for the food, which was NOT cool because this was not how I placed my order. I do not know if this was an intentional mistake for the person on cash to get more money, but I value honesty and I did not appreciate having to pay more. I understand that businesses are struggling with our economy, but I can't recommend anyone to go to a restaurant that is not honest. Regardless, the food was okay. I liked that the shawarma is very traditional, like how you would get it in the Middle East--meat, pickles, and lettuce. The fries were just typical fries, nothing special. Overall, with so many shawarma places around the GTA, I would skip out on this place.

They are just around the corner from our home so it makes it easy for us to grab and run. My kids love the chicken on the rocks.
