Food is slightly overpriced considering that they require you to tip but only provide partial table service. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious but it does get busy during brunch hours on weekends. read more

Souk Tabule - Beef Shawarma on Rice Beef Shawarma Wrap - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Souk Tabule is a great option if you're looking for a healthy-ish breakfast/brunch/lunch meal in the Distillery/Canary District area! It's unusual to begin a review of a restaurant raving about a side dish, but the dirty rice is definitely the first thing that's worth mentioning. It's so flavourful! This ain't the rice that's added to your plate as an afterthought at your run-of-the-mill shawarma place - it's its own thing! For protein, I've tried both the Beef Shawarma and the Beirut Pulled Chicken. They're both very good, but if I had to choose one, I'd definitely go with the former. That's personal preference though; I don't think you'd be disappointed with either. The restaurant itself is very quaint and spacious. I noticed that a lot of the orders were being picked up for take-out, but I wouldn't hesitate to dine in either. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows will make sure you're getting your sunlight and the decor isn't too shabby either. I recently moved into the neighbourhood and this is one of the first places I tried, and I wasn't disappointed. Recommended! read more

I'm equally enthused, impressed, and enamored at how much food we've eaten. The amount of care and flavor to the food is equal to the price we've paid for it. For the location, it's hidden especially from the Toronto downtown area (granted, I'm visiting) but the mood and selections are worth the traveling. read more

Great value and delicious food! I've ordered from here several times on Uber eats and loved it. Went to the physical restaurant and it did not disappoint. We shared the following: Baba Ghanouj - delicious but a little too much like hummus Shakshuka - 4 eggs in a nice tomato sauce. It was good. Beirut pulled chicken - delicious Jedos kefta meatballs - fantastic Shish Tawuk - best dish on the table Garlic sauce is to die for. Get extra. read more

My work ordered takeout for our all-staff meeting on Wednesday last. I choose Jedos Kefta Meatballs, which was ground lamb and beef in a garlic tomato sauce, served over dirty rice (ground beef, rice) and topped with Arabic slaw. The meatballs were oblong, spiced nicely - mildly, a little dry, but that's hard to get that right, so no marks off. Unfortunately the portions balance was off tons of rice, to protein, and very little slaw. But the ingredients were fresh, and in this economy, high marks. My colleagues loved the food, also bonus marks for the consensus endorsement. PS: apparently this is high go-to place for the production offices of all the film and teevee crews in the city. read more

Got the: - Chicken on dirty rice - Tawak ($18.00) - Falafel Wrap ($10.50) Pros: - Chicken is good, has a nice refreshing lemony taste to it. - Wrap is huge! And the texture of the wrap is great. Great deal. - Overall, food is great, ingredients are fresh and it's a relatively healthy meal. Cons: - A bit salty for my liking. - Rice can be a little oily. read more

Dined in early December, between lockdowns. It was my first time in the Canary District. There's street parking in front of the restaurant. We managed to grabbed the last free spot, that evening. A great restaurant featuring delectable Middle Eastern food. Safety protocols were readily in place: sanitizer at the door, dividers between tables, vaccine & ID checks for dine-in patrons. Great service, and really great food! The atmosphere is bright and lively. Casual dress, and mixed crowd here. Loved the Chef's Platter with all the amazing dips and fresh pita. The baked falafel was tasty with a tahini drizzle. We happily ordered enough to have leftovers for another meal. Can't wait until it's safe to return to dine in again! read more

The food was incredible! We got falafel & chicken shawarma. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. We also got pita & hummus - also delicious. Highly recommend! read more

We stopped in here late on a Sunday evening about an hour before closing. We weren't sure what to expect from this 'fast food cousin' of the other Tabule restaurants, but we had a great experience. We ordered the beet mutable (roasted beet dip, similar in consistency to 'regular mutable' which is made with eggplant, tahini, garlic and lemon) and the arnabeet (fried cauliflower with tahini sauce), with gluten free pita (!), and an order of the Lebanese pulled chicken rice dish (which is NOT gluten free). Everything was excellent. We were really happy with the diversity of the menu, the knowledgable staff who helped us navigate the menu for gluten free options, the authentic tastes of the dishes (we are big fans of Lebanese food in general), portion sizes (enough to take home half for another meal), and the quick service. I think from the time of ordering til our food was delivered we only waited 15 min. Couple notes - this location has ample indoor seating and a cute decor; ordering is at the counter - you get a number and they bring food out to you. They have a variety of beverages, and lots of gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. There is also outside seating, but at night/ after dark you may be plagued with homeless walking on the sidewalk asking for money, cigarettes and food. Overall a great food experience, but next time we would eat inside if we arrive at the same hour. Definitely recommended! read more

Living nearby we have gone here three or four times now and the food is consistently great. The menu has options that are more affordable and things that are a little more, all delicious.

So glad to have this in the Corktown Commons neighborhood. Food is always top notch. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor (during the summer) seating options or if takeout is your fancy, the food really holds up well - Ive tried all 3 options. Shish tawuk is always a popular option but you literally cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Pro tip: sharing plates ! Must try all the items read more

The Beet Matuble was SO good! Favorite thing we ordered. I also got the falafel wrap and it was quite large. Overall we enjoyed, but did takeout so we didn't experience the restaurant eating-in. read more

Their saj pitas were so soft and chewy. They serve it fresh and warm and you can watch the guy stretch the pita over a pillow and heat it up. The Beirut pulled chicken was so tender and juicy. I personally loved their beet mutable. It's very light and it went well with the labni. The falafel was more on the dry side so dipping in the hummus helped. My friends ordered the food and it took some time to figure out what they wanted since it was our first time here. They told me the cashier was impatient and kept asking if they were ready to order. We were originally going to go to the Thai place next door, but there was a long wait so we went here. I'm glad we did! read more

Fast-casual restaurant where you order at the cashier and they bring you the food when it's ready (if dining in). Super friendly staff who were great at answering our questions about the menu and checked on us occasionally during our meal. Food - Beef shawarma over rice (4.5/5) ($15.50) - Huge portions. Beef was pretty tender and juicy. Plenty of sauce over the meat. The side of slaw paired well with the dish. - Saj pita with za'atar (3/5) ($4.50) - The pita was made fresh to order and tasted really good, but the za'atar was too salty. Fixed it by just scraping some off the pita. Pretty worth it for the quantity and quality of the food. Overall great service and the food was good too - would come back to try other items on the menu! read more

Souk Tabule - Beef shawarma over rice & saj pita with za'atar - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

One of my go to spots for quality middle eastern food! Flavors are delicious and dishes are unique - you'll find something for everyone here. I've tried quite a few dishes via takeout over the years, but have yet to visit the restaurant itself - and can't wait to finally do so. All their dips are delicious, especially the hummus and baba ganoush, and come with the perfectly soft saj bread. Their meat dishes are great, always tender and bursting with flavor and spices. Lastly, don't forget the extra tahini and garlic sauce - they go well with every bite. Overall, this is one of my favourite middle eastern spots which I highly recommend for any meal of the day. read more

Finally made my way here. My preference is to never judge a restaurant based on takeout alone but not sure when I can make it back so here it goes.... Overall, great spot but 4/5 is only due to the fact that it is not necessarily head and shoulders above many other excellent middle eastern spots in (for example) Scarborough. Solid choice though ! Falafel 5/5. Flavourful and spiced just right. I opted for fried because I'm a bad girl even though baked is an option. Also 5 very large pieces in each serving. Tahini was meh. Chefs platter 5/5. Loved the purple beets dish the best. I liked the sweetness. I think this is the best option because I'm vegetarian/ pescatarian and can try a lot of their sides at one time. Roti/ naan 5/5. Not dense at all and deliciously buttery! Because I did takeout I didn't get much interaction with the staff but they seemed really energetic (they have a big team at the restaurant) and the venue has that chic rustic vibe. It was quite busy there on a Thursday night. Prices are reasonable for the portion and freshness. They do not cheap out on portions. What I ordered early feeds two hungry people but you may want an extra roti as they are quite thin. read more

My first time eating here! Oh my gosh, I got the steak shawarma sandwich, & I must say, it was packed with flavour and stuffed with loads of steak and veggies & whatever else they managed to fit in !! So delicious, the bread is a little different than your usual naan, this "naan" felt like it was made from scratch, & had a little soft dough ness to it, with a little crunch! Absolutely loved it! I will be back for sure to eat that same sandwich & whatever else you guys are whippin' up ! Thank you! Keep on making that good food ! ;) read more

Best way to take the Pandemic pounds off is to pick a hidden Gem, with healthy, wholesome menu options, and walking the distance to devour one's craving! This Sunday on a beautifull Fall morning I did just that. Walked from Entertainment District, onto Financial District, passed the Designer District, and through Distillery district, I arrived at the Canary District...just so I can taste the most mouth watering, infused with olive oil, made from Beets, Tahini, with touches of lemon and garlic dish called - Beet Mutable. Gorgeous delicious filling for $6.95, I paired it with gluten free Warm Pita bread...and let myself flow into the flavors. As sun light kissed my face, and brisk fall wind went through my hair..I thought to myself there is no place I rather be then in this moment enjoying my Beet Mutable at Souk Tabule ;-)))) read more

If you've been to Tabule's two other locations in the city, you'll adore takeout from Souk Tabule. The chain's newest outpost in the Canary District offers the same healthy and flavourful Middle Eastern cuisine that you know and love. The hummus, baba ghanoush and beet mutable are the perfect pairings for pita, and the arnabeet (flash fried cauliflower drizzled with tahini) is incredibly satisfying. A variety of soups, salads, wraps and larger meals are also on the menu, and portions are generous! Some crowd pleasers include the falafel and tender shish tawuk. read more

Souk Tabule is a fast-casual restaurant offering gourmet Mediterranean eats with beautiful plating and quality ingredients. From their all day brunch menu, I ordered the Full Souk, which came with a dish of foule (stewed fava beans) topped with tomatoes and parsley, four falafels with tahini, labneh topped with dried and fresh mint, a boiled egg, chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled turnips/peppers, and an Arabic slaw made of shredded red and white cabbage. But my favorite part of the dish were the two flat, chewy saj flatbreads that came on the side, freshly cooked on a saj griddle. Next, I ordered the Open Face Beef Shawarma, an open-faced wrap also built on a saj flatbread topped with chewy spiced beef, hummus, tahini, Arabic slaw, pickled turnips, tomatoes, and parsley. Both dishes were fresh, vibrant, and delicious, and they went nicely with the garlicky toum and spicy chili sauce that came on the side! read more

This restaurant has been on my list for quite a while; its Mediterranean brunch options seem highly appetizing. Upon entering, I was wowed by this super quaint, instagrammable, and well-lit restaurant. The seats are quite spacious, and you can be seated quite comfortably with friends. You pay for your food at the counter, and the waitresses deliver to your table. I got the shakshuka (I've made it at home, but have never had it outside), while my cousins got the Jedos Kefta Meatballs and the Samke Sammie/Wrap. Shashuka: Three eggs were cooked perfectly in a red stew of tomato and red pepper sauce. Since it was served in a cast iron skillet, the dish came piping hot; however, it soon cooled down quickly. The shashuka has a strong tomato flavour, and you can distinctly taste the cumin and smoked paprika spices. Having attempted to make this dish at home before, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my flavour was quite identical! The labni on top was a sour cream like dressing that helped balance the flavour. There was also a thin slice of saj pita that was served on the side. I loved how thin it was, and it was the ideal vessel for scooping up the sauce. That said, my absolute favourite was the egg - I only hope that it were more runny, but the egg was still soft boiled with a golden centre. Jedos Kefta Meatballs: I was able to sample a bit of the lamb and beef meatballs - the flavour was gamey and quite delicious! My cousin said his favourite was the dirty rice (rice stir fried with ground beef) - it seemed to be very flavourful and fragrant indeed! Samke Wrap: I believe that it would be more accurate to name this dish "Arabic slaw served with Arabic slaw". The battered cod was wrapped with the purple vinegary slaw and tomatoes in a pita, and dressed with spicy tahini sauce. However, over half of the wrap consisted of the slaw! To add to that, there was a generous mound of slaw served as an accompanying side. The slaw had a lemon garlic dressing (the lemon flavour was far stronger than the garlic), and was a very pretty purple pink colour. Overall, I think we all enjoyed our individual dishes quite a bit. The main complaint was only that the samke wrap had too much of the Arabic slaw, making the flavour quite overbearing and too much. That aside, I did enjoy my dish - particularly as I realize that my own homemade version isn't too far off at all! :) read more

This more casual sister of the Tabule restaurants (in mid-town and Riverside) serves great Middle Eastern brunch that you order at the counter. Selection includes mezze platter (babbaganoush, labneh, hummus, beet mutabal, muhammara, etc.), foule, falafaels, shakshouka, and other egg dishes with Middle Eastern spin to them. Food quality is on par with the other Tabule restaurants. It provides a more casual and self-serve dining experience. read more

If there is such thing as love as first bite - this is it. From the moment I entered the restaurant I knew that I am about to experience something spectacular and I wasn't disappointed! I should probably mention that their menu is pretty fancy - every dish is described so exquisitely, I was tempted to order every item. Everything was served beautifully, the pita was freshly made and still hot. The beef shawarma was tender and flavourful, and the serving size was very filling. They added a special touch to each dish, even the fries weren't just ordinary fries - they had zaatar spice and tahini on them. This is one of those places that instantly become a new favourite, somewhere you would want to return again and again. Souk Tabule is definitely on top of my go-to Middle Eastern restaurants in Toronto. read more

Souk Tabule is one of our neighborhood spot. Staffs are incredibly knowledgeable. White reliefs with golden accents on the wall, rustic wooden tables, blue walls, marble tiles - Souk Tabule`s decor is an exquisite work of art. I have visited Souk Tabule multiple times, hence this extremely long review. Below are dishes we have tried over the course of several months. The food is relatively consistent with a few hits and misses. My go to are the chef`s sampler and falafel. At the risk of boring you, below is the list of items we have tried. Appetizers: Chef's Sampler ($16) consists of Babaganouj, labni, muhamara, beet mutable, quinoa tabule, and arabic slaw! All wonderful! My favourite is the beet mutable - Beets, tahini, lemon, garlic! Yum! Bonus points of fresh gluten free saj (flat bread) that does not taste like gluten free bread. Saj with Za'atar ($4.50) consists of Dried thyme, oregano, sumac, sesame seeds, and olive oil. You can't go wrong with crispy herbaceous saj! Mains: Beirut Pulled Chicken ($13.00) consists of slow-roasted turmeric pulled chicken, served over dirty rice with ground beef, and cinnamon, and topped with Arabic slaw. Overall the dish is on the slightly on the drier end. Beiruti falafel ($7.00) in a saj pita, stuffed with Arabic slaw, tomato concasse, pickled turnip and tahini. Comes with three falafel. The falafel seems smaller than before for some odd reason. Regardless, I usually asked to the wrap to be open or without the wrap. I find it a lot more enjoyable! It is a great salad hack at Souk. Shashuka ($12) with roasted tomato and red pepper sauce with three local free run omega 3 soft-cooked eggs and a scoop of labni. The dish is great for a morning brunch. Perfect for sharing. Shish Tawuk ($13.00) with Ontario farm fresh chicken breast, grilled and served over turmeric rice and topped with Arabic slaw. Again, the chicken is dried and the portion of chicken is on the smaller end. Sides: Phoenician fries ($5.50) with za'atar and drizzled in tahini. Dry seems to be the theme of some of the item on the miss list. Save the calories for something more delicious! Mujaddara ($4.50) rice with lentil. Again, slightly dried. Vegan lentil soup ($5.50) with pureed red lentils, carrots, celery no cream or butter. Nothing to write home about. Desserts: Coconut cookies ($2.50) made with egg white and shredded coconut. A little too sweet for my liking! Drinks: Avoid juices ($5.5) at all cost. Ever since they switched vendor, juices resembles toilet water. Moroccan Mint ($2.95) comes in a decorative tea pot and miniature tea cups. Great for sharing! Honey Cardamon Latte ($4.75) is a hug in a cap. Warm creamy latte with honey and cardamon goodness. This latte is a crowd pleaser! Overall, Souk is a good option if you are in the neighborhood! Food is always fresh. Pita is made to order. Remember, for a good time, avoid their juices! Go for a nice scroll by the Make Peace exhibit after brunch, lunch or dinner! read more

We love the flavours and food at this place! We don't like the lack of service and the cups are super dirty. As well as there is an evident amount of bugs around. You should get the dips! It's what this place great and you definitely need to add a second pita! The beef shawarmas is as authentic as it gets! It has loads of meat and definitely is worth the $10 price point! We didn't like the pulled chicken, it couldn't be compared to a chicken shawarma, probably because it is something completely different. read more

Would definitely come back. I want to try the entire menu! Food: 4.5/5 - the chef's sampler was amazing and great for sharing. The jedos kefta meatballs were flavourful and went great with the "dirty rice". I wasn't a fan of the shahuka but my friends were so there were no problems with cleaning the plate. Service: 5/5 the restaurant is laid back, cafeteria style where you order from the counter, grab a number and sit at your table and the food gets dropped off. That didn't stop the staff from coming by and checking on our table occasionally. They were very friendly and accommodating and even gave us extra bread for free. read more

What an incredible brunch spot. I came here last Saturday with two friends. We shared a combo platter and two falafel (fried) sandwiches, which was more than enough for all of us. While I was expecting full service, it's actually quasi self-service (you order your food up front, and if you're planning on eating in you grab a number and seat yourself). It was quite busy on the Saturday I was there around 1 pm, but the three of us managed to grab a spot at a long table beside another family. The staff were friendly, the restaurant is very clean (including the washrooms) and had beautiful furniture and natural lighting. I would definitely try the combo platter if you're going with a group!! Looking forward to my next visit read more

Souk Tabule - Combo platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I had falafel salad with arnabeet dip, hummus, fried cauliflower with tahini sauce and tawuk skewer for my guest. The falafel I chose was baked not fried and it was gluten free. It was delicious with the tahini sauce and beet dip. There were a lot of healthy GF vegan choices and I made 3 meals out of my portions by adding some raw salad, zucchini and pepper strips from home. The only slight disappointment was the soggy cauliflower, though it came in a recycled cardboard container which was great. The containers for the two dips were made out of kryptonite and I could not get them off! My helper could, but it was tough. Overall, great experience. I'd order again especially because they make it easy for GF vegans. read more

The place serves a casual middle eastern food (Lebanese to be exact). It's spacious, casual and clean. You need to place the order first so take time reading the menu. I ordered the Beirut pulled chicken and it tasted so good, a bit spicy (not hot just a lot of spice added) but still taste good. The inside is clean and you can also buy some products ( like olive oil and other stuff). This is a good place for casual lunch and much better for a breakfast. read more

There are some places that just scream out 'instagram me'. I feel like Souk Tabule managed to grab that vibe while still keeping it low key and not be some stuffy over priced 3 hour meal. It really helps that they created the whole atmosphere to be lit with tons of sun (2 story of windows!), lots of warmth from the wood, and uses of beautiful blues whether it be the mural in the back or the robin egg blue on tables and wainscot. I would say this is a fast casual spot where you order upfront at the cashier and then take back a number to your table so the food can arrive when ready. Service here is friendly as the barista was telling me which espresso based drink was amazing. Their coffee menu should be tried... it has their unique twist on some classics that just give it a boost of the ordinary (more on this later). The menu had a lot different savoury options so if you're looking for your pancakes, you're not going to find it here. Menu is pretty diverse and offers everything from a delicious looking platter of dips and meze to full big bowls filled with rice, dashes of vibrant raspberry pink coleslaw, and hunks of grilled meats. For a late Sunday morning, I would say this place was pretty filled... there wasn't a table easily available for 2 or 4 but there are lots of big tables that you can use for a communal share. Lentil Soup - I would normally say the idea of lentil soup shouldnt excite anyone but honestly, this is a very good soup. It feels wholesome and like a warm hug with its creamy pureed red lentils and carrots. Great thing that is has no cream or butter in it either. It just has a vibrant savoury flavour with it's nice light use of spices. 4.5/5 Canary Salad - I think I saw an instagram picture of this and I think it's instagram pretty but the substance was a bit lighter on my plate. It's supposed to have mixed greens, kale, and arugula... I think it was 95% romaine lettuce. It was like a Mediterranean caesar salad. It was mostly boring with it's one note citrus sauce that intermixed with tahini. It did have 4 very large falafel. They were ok... definitely more on the bland side but it was a much needed texture compared to the mound of romaine lettuce. It did advertise to have hummus... it did but perhaps only a tiny bit on the bottom. 3.5/5 Soujuk and egg scramble - Perhaps these are very small chickens but the amount of 3 eggs seemed to be a lot smaller than I'm used to. When I cook up eggs, it looks to be 2... ANYHOW, this wasn't bad but it was far from the perception we had for it. It wasn't bad but for taste and amount, it just seemed to be less than expected. It wasn't as flavourful or tasty as the lentil soup 3.5/5 Cinnamon and Honey Latte - So this was far better than I hoped... this was a delicious espresso based drink that almost feels indulgent. The honey was a nice balance to rich coffee flavour and the cinnamon just gave it the right kick to make this quite memorable. It was the favourite. 4.5/5 Maple Matcha Latte - This is my 2nd maple matcha i've had in the GTA (the other being Tsujiri) and this one has less matcha which makes it more palatable but I felt there was a lot of maple syrup being used. It almost made it too imbalanced towards the sweet. I like the flavour combination in theory but I'm starting to realize its a fickle one to do in reality. I still like this one but the Cinnamon Honey Latte is my fave. 3.5/5 Overall, instagram pretty is what I'd call this place... all the food looks great on pictures but I think you'd need to choose wisely to get one that tastes as good as it looks. For now, the lentil soup and cinnamon & honey latte are the ones to keep on my list. read more

This is a new area for moi as I haven't been to this new residential developments before. My friends who are fans of Tabule formal restaurants recommended this spot for a late brunch. Even though we were quite late the place was almost packed. We ordered a baba ganoush to share and I ordered a shakshuka. The space is nice and open with high high ceiling and a baking area for fresh bread (can be addictive even if its not great!). The ordering system is geared towards keeping the guest moving which is fine. The baba ganoush is done the traditional way (though I have become partial to the me va me version) the bread isn't the traditional pita and they served all our bread with the app. So we had to order more for the mains. The shakshuka is decent. Served in a cast iron pan it has a rustic feel to it. The zaatar added a nice element to the dish as well. A nice dish for a reasonable price. My eyes also caught the sujuck and bastarma eggs (big fan of both). I will revisit as its a solid 4 star for this price point. Mini update tried the sujjuck omelette on the second visit. Sujjuck is milder which I expected given their clientele. Ok I suppose. Tried the Muhammara mezze as well which was good. read more

I will start off with the food. The place has a very tasty food regardless of being a bit overpriced. There is a real variety of great Halal Lebanese cuisine. I would definitely recommend Kafta over rice and Beef Shawarma for meat lovers and Salmon over rice for vegetarians. They also do have some Vegan dishes. Also they make great coffee with a variety of baclava deserts. The only regard for me would be the service, the wait staff are not friendly sometimes, maybe because most of them are student. Anyways, the place is fast-casual, so the food will be cooked really fast. read more

This is a great place for a casual meal. In the summer they have a WONDERFUL PATIO to people watch in the area, lots of families and dogs. Its got a nicer fast-casual vibe, you order up front and they bring the food to you. Self service water station. THE BEST PART ARE THE SAJ PITAS, they have someone making them in house in front of you on a large hot stone like oven. They come super hot and fresh! You must get the chefs sampler platter! For $20 you get an assortment of hummus, a beet dip, a walnut red peppery one, a thick labni yogurt dip, cabbage slaw and tabule salad. Lots of variety in flavors and great for sharing. The shakshuka is a great option for breakfast or anytime of the day. Its got lots of sweet bell pepper taste with a tomato sauce and runny eggs. Mop of the rest of the sauce with the pitas! I also like their backed falafels. Crispy outside, tender inside and not overlay oily compared to the fried ones. I've also tried the beef shawarma wrap, it is not bad but not my favorite in the city, but is also wrapped in the thin pitas. The mint tea ($9) comes in a cute pot and little cups, great for sharing. The place is really friendly and you might end up chatting with other people in the neighborhood while you're eating. read more

I'm a regular at this place as I live nearby in the Canary District. This place is a casual sit-down restaurant but you order at the counter and have to go get your own water - it's not really full service. That being said, prices are a little cheaper than a restaurant but more expensive than a fast food/takeout counter. The casualness of the environment makes it a nice place to go when you don't want to make dinner but I probably wouldn't come here on a date. I've probably come here more than 10 times already, but the food can be a hit or miss here. Anything with beef shawarma is amazing, and their dirty rice is like crack. All the salads and dips are delicious as well. Their chicken dishes can be dry and tasteless though, so I hope they can make some improvements there. The shakshouka is also pretty salty. But overall, very good food for reasonable prices! read more

The food, the ambience and the value are phenomenal! It's definitely not a full dine-in experience, as you order food at the counter and it is then brought by kitchen staff once ready.

Both dishes were vegetarian, filling and very yummy. I have to say we were both pleasantly surprised. I will be returning soon! read more
