I wish I had a photo of our spread as they were so nicely prepared. The staff were very kind and made some recommendations from the menu and I browsed the nicely laid out store with shelves full of exotic ingredients I vowed to return to try. The sandwiches were tasty; all toppings were freshly prepared and the variety of traditional Lebanese ingredients and sauces in the two vegetarian sandwiches were so perfect together. We especially loved the fried cauliflower, eggplant and arugula combination in the Veg Cut. Beirut Garden was also scrumptious with mouthwatering halloumi with mint chutney on a soft Schiachiatta bread. The smoked salmon was also prepared on the same bread, as their bagel delivery hadn't arrived yet but this was also very good with lots of capers and red onions. The cold cut platter was well put together and the clients loved the beetroot hummus as well. I can't wait to return to try their hot food take out and all the amazing coffees I saw!

Very interesting market. Has fresh cut deli and butcher section, hot foods section, bakery section,…read moreand seating area with full service bringing you food and taking away the dishes. Very lovely staff. Took my little one for a workshop, and while that was going on, I ordered lunch. Chicken shawarma was delicious, though a tad salty for my preference, flavour was undeniably delicious. The chicken portion was huge. My husband ate a late breakfast and wasn't too hungry, so he only got a falafel order. It was super crispy and nice, mild flavour. Many other falafel I've tried had an overwhelming spice that made it too strong for my preference, but this was delicious. There were some other workshop participants' parents that were mildly irritating, even to me, as a fellow peer (parent of child in the workshop), but the staff powered through and served them with courtesy and professionalism. The workshop was gingerbread cookie decorating and was a fun experience, however the children were getting a bit bored while the dough was chilling for 10 minutes. It included a kids meal of a main, fries, and drink. My little one got the chicken nuggets, she loved it and ate every piece. The only thing that is slightly inconvenient is after browsing the food section, you need to go back to the front to pay at the cashier, and then return to the food station to tell them the order. Not sure if they can try a different method, but aside from that, excellent people, and excellent food!

The freshly baked pita that comes with most dishes is some of the best we've had in the Durham region. The ambience is casual, with a cozy café vibe perfect for hanging out with friends, and they also offer hookah if you're into that. The service is super friendly and welcoming. Just a heads-up--they don't provide complimentary water, so either bring your own bottle or be prepared to purchase it.

We were greeted as soon as we stepped in and everyone there seemed welcoming and helpful. There are a few tables so you can definitely eat in but I suspect the majority of their business is takeaway. We ordered the jerk chicken and butter chicken bowls. Both contained rice, onions, tomatoes garlic sauce. The jerk chicken also had pineapple and crispy things. Both dishes were flavourful and satisfying. Just before ours was being prepared, we saw them preparing a falafel bowl which looked quite good. I might give that one a try next time.

They made big mistake with my order but they were great at owning up to it and showed exemplary service in doing so. They got the grape vine wraps which goes great with fries. I will go back just for this. Keep in mind shawarma on weekdays may not be freshly grilled but kept in containers they scoop out of, or regrilled. But the beef shawarma good either way. Sauces for sharwarma in addition to regular sauces they have there is also a yogurt like sauce addition that give great taste. But all the side toppings does lean toward the saltier side. I'd recommend asking to replace all with rice. Lettuce on weekday seems a bit old, brown and yellow spots... try to go on weekends Eggplant dip bought separately tasted sadly underwelming but might be a thing for some people. I had much tastier eggplant dips especially the canned ones. Theirs seems home made. Their food is decent 3/5 and service 4/5. You will feel people working there cares, unlike Made in Mexico on main st new location in my recent trip. For competing sharwarma there is always Sharwarma Land on Yonge st to try around ten min drive south. The lack of fresh veggies and meat on weekdays sadly lowers rating.

We ordered the falafel wrap, open chicken souvlaki, and a spinach pie. The spinach pie ended up being my favorite. It was loaded with chopped spinach & onions with a slight lemon flavor all in a light fluffy homemade dough. I could have eaten a couple of them! Maybe I will next time.The chicken in the souvlaki was seasoned nicely but was a bit dry. My husband seemed to really enjoy his falafel wrap. Service was good.

Tip: The chicken shawarma salad was excellent!…read more I have frequented Perkins Restaurant in Pickering a couple of times. To get to it by vehicle, you need to drive by this Shawarma Royale. I've made a mental note to drop by Shawarma Royale. I've been to its Scarborough location years ago. I needed a refresher. I drove around the building and parked fairly close to the entrance. I then walked in. This eatery is spacious. There are lots of places to sit down and enjoy your meal. The tables are generously spaced out. I headed over to the order area. There was a couple in front of me. I looked at the menu to see what I wanted. I saw chicken shawarma salad. Perfect! The woman taking my order was so sweet and nice. She asked me if I wanted any sauces. I went with tahini and garlic sauce. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I got my receipt and joined others waiting for their food. I saw a man slice the chicken shawarma that would comprise my salad. I saw another man putting my salad together. Watching my food being prepared was wonderful. It also made me hungry. My order was ready. The woman asked me whether I was dining in or doing takeout. It was the latter. She put my container of happiness in a clear plastic bag, with a fork and napkins. I thanked her. What's special about this place is that all three staffers said thanks and hoped that I'd enjoy my food. i liked that nice touch. I put my food in an insulated bag and drove home. I then had dinner. The chicken shawarma on my salad was still warm. I loved my meal. The veggies were crisp. This place was generous with the pickles and pickled radishes. I loved how yummy the chicken shawarma was. Each slice was tender. The tahini and garlic sauce brought every ingredient together. I'd get this salad again. I should try a bowl, too. I had a great experience. I'd return for more when I'm in the area. (465)

Updated review May 18 Victoria day…read more I decided to grab some shawarmas after our walk at Frenchman's Bay. When I entered the restaurant there some people dining in and others waiting for their orders. The chicken duo deal $16.99 is an online only deal. The cashier was trying to ring in my order but didn't realize it's an online offer. The food prep staff told me to order online. The online order process is pretty easy to use and you can customize your wrap and bowl. The Queen wrap comes with pickles, garlic sauce and pomegranate molasses. You have the option to choose your own toppings up to 3 choices. The Queen regular bowl has similar toppings and it's served on top of rice. The food was pretty good but I would say the chicken portions left more to be desired. The only downside here is that restaurant was understaffed and I waited about 30 minutes for my order. If the wait wasnt too long I would give them 4 stars.
