They used to have line-ups out the door and a wait time of 1 hour or longer. Now, you can just walk in. The Chicken Lentil soup is a few spoonfuls and you're lucky if you get 2 pieces of chicken. The Chicken Schnitzel is still good but so small - and that's when they have it. (They've run out several times during normal dinner hours). I'd still go but it's not a restaurant that pops into my mind. Someone else would have to mention it and I'd feel I have to go.

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!

If you like middle eastern food you must try the food here. With Arabic food, sharing is the way to go. We ordered a few appetizers; hummus, fattoush, Greek salad, baba ghanoush (not pictured), tabouleh (not pictured). The reason I love going here is because of the appetizers, they remind me of how my mom and aunts make appetizers; in the traditional Iraqi way. The salads are zesty and sour, which is very typical of Iraqi cuisine but it's so delicious. The ingredients are all very fresh. I highly recommend trying the hummus and tabouleh, they're addictive. For our main meal we ordered a giant mixed platter with a bit of every meat (lamb chops, chicken souvlaki, beef schnitzel, chicken schnitzel, beef kebab tenderloin, Iraqi beef kebab). This was so delicious, everything was cooked perfectly. If you only want to try one meat I would highly recommend trying the lamb chops, I could easily eat 20 of those. The schnitzels are quite popular amongst kids, I remember ordering those all the time and they still taste as good as I remember them. And of course all the sides are amazing (especially the fries). For dessert we had tea and creme caramel, a great way to end the night. This place is awesome, we'll continue to go here especially for events (they sometimes bring DJs). The place is very clean as well (bathrooms are spotless).

A couple of Saturdays ago, I needed to grab some takeout for dinner. I did a search on my Uber Eats app and found Tahini's. It's a few doors down from a No Frills, in a plaza that has a McDonald's, Dollarama, Kaiyo Sushi, and more. I got the following items: - Regular habibi bowl (BOGO) - Beef samosas (2) I got an estimated time of fifteen minutes for my food to be ready. I drove over to this eatery and backed into a parking spot. I waited a bit before I headed inside the eatery to pick my food up. I headed to the counter on the left. A woman said hi. When I indicated that I had an Uber Eats order, she abruptly interrupted me and said that I needed to be on the right. I didn't feel any warmth from her. I felt like I was scolded by her for not knowing. It was my first time at this eatery. The only door in and out of this eatery is directly in front of this woman. Naturally, folks would head over to you, especially a newbie like me. You order on the left. You pick up your food on the right. Got it. I made my way over to the right. I had a friendly woman there who let me know that she was waiting for my beef samosas. Cool. It was enough time for me to take photos. The unpleasant woman seemed happier talking to a male colleague in front of the protein spits. I took a photo. She looked my way. She seemed to default to her sour disposition again. I had the inclination to delete the photo capturing her unpleasant expression, and take another photo once she went into the kitchen. It's one star off my rating. She clearly didn't like me. The feeling was mutual. The beef samosas were done. Yay! The other woman packed up everything and handed me my paper bag full of food. I thanked her and wished her a good evening. She reciprocated. I then headed to my car and drove home. I had the beef samosas first. OMG! They were delicious. The wrapper was crispy and not greasy. The beef filling was generous and yummy. I should have got six. Yum! I had one of the regular bowls that evening and the other the following day. I specified light hot sauce. It was perfect. The chicken shawarma was tender and yummy. I liked the toum. It had the perfect amount of garlic. The parsley provided a pop of colour. It didn't taste like anything. The rice was fluffy and delicious. This bowl was excellent. I had the other bowl for dinner the following day. It heated up nicely and was equally as yummy. I loved everything that I had consumed. I'll be back for a shawarma wrap and more. I'm hoping that the sourpuss woman isn't there upon my return. (451)

Can't go wrong with beef shwarma... great flavors and a bit of tanginess... I didn't expect to like the chicken shwarma but it was nice and smokey... which fishes it some added depth. At other places, shish kebob can be over cooked and dry... not here... grilled on the outside but tender on the inside. Love these flavors... wish we could have had extra containers of that yummy sauce on the side. I don't know what it is... but the potatoes where so so good. There is lots of staples and salad to fill you up. So in total there was plenty... but I felt like I would like a tiny little more meat for the price of the shwarma... the shish kebob seems about right because it's chuncks of meat vs thin sliced. Overall giving this a 3.25 start rating.

What us relatively unique is that for about ten bucks you get a pretty hefty sandwich of chicken mixed in a bowl with a wide assortment of fixings as tomatoes, medeterrean salad and red cabbage. Typical shops have much fewer filling options schmeared on a bagged pita bread and smushed in a panini press. The bread hear appears house made, certainly unique and so doing kind of sticks to the wrapping paper. But still, an enjoyable bite of mixed veg and chicken. While a bit on the dry side and buried with the veg and sauce, thst is a big sandwich and very fresh. I would saw that Mr. Zagros is a good option when you get a craving for a schwarma or falafel. Be prepared to pay a premium, as about $32.00 for three sandwiches and one soda.

I was kind of surprised to actually find this place, entrance from Disera Dr is small. But I was…read morevery glad to have found them. We just ordered a regular hummus to try them out. Person who took our order behind the counter was super nice. Let us know that they had a November promo that we would get a free drink with purchase of a hummus bowl. Free drink was not limited to just a can of pop, it was any drink in their fridge. While we were waiting for our hummus, we were offered also falafel samples. My son devoured his so fast. The person behind the counter heard my son loved the falafel and threw a couple more in our take out order. Also love that they're more on the eco friendly front, utensils are the wooden kind, and the containers are paper (i think recyclable or compostable), not styrofoam or the black plastic containers. We will definitely be back to try more things on the menu! Hubby thought the hummus was a bit on the loose/watery side. But both my son and I loved how it tasted.

The restaurant has a beautiful interior and high ceilings. Service here is little to none. Which is unfortunate since their food is so good. After taking our orders we were never checked on. Asked 2 different servers for extra serveware and never got it. Had to ask more than once to get water. Overall the service is BAD. What saves this place is definitely their food, as it's very delicious. Definitely start with their variety of dips for sharing. Here's what we got: Mix Appetizers 5/5 - Came with hummus, baba ganoush, spicy mashed and haydari. All delicious and served with fresh bread. Mixed Pide 5/5 - This was also great for sharing and tasting the variety of pide options. Came with cheese, minced meat, and sausage. Mix Kebab for 2 5/5 - This was more than enough to share with the five of us, as portions are large, especially when you are ordering other sides. A variety of meats including lamb, chicken, beef served with rice and salad. The meal ends with complimentary tea. Overall, delicious spot with great food but just lacks any type of service. So good that I'd still come back for their food.

The restaurant's modern decor makes it feel elevated, but it's not stuffy or posh inside at all. I've never had Turkish food before, so I can't comment on the authenticity or taste, but I really enjoyed our meal! The pide was like a naan, and it tasted so good with that generous cheese topping and the complimentary yoghurt-based dip. The beef doner was also tasty, and I was not expecting that gigantic pile of meat! Stuffing that beef between the flatbread with some of that yogurt dip, add some pickled red onions, cucumber, & tomato = perfection. Looking forward to my next visit!
