The guy gave us a small box of chicken and fries for 14$.... very poor portioning. I wish I would have gone somewhere else to eat. If you want to run your business, at least give decent portion of the food. Zero for value of the food. Then we sat down to eat and he plays super loud Arabic music so leave quickly.

Maybe my experience was diminished through Uber eats, but the food was extremely disappointing.

I got the mixed chicken shawarma platter and it was a massive let down. Dry and just in a basic wrap with nothing added. Garlic sauce was ok but really thick.

Can’t imagine a scenario I would order from here again.

This place is a rip off. The guy lures you in by offering a sample of chicken. The chicken shawarma bowl is listed at $19 but he charges you more when you go to pay. The place is not very clean and the food is not great either. Definitely would not go back here.

Very good service, Huge portions of food for the price and open restaurant style seating where you can see the beach and ocean.

He really got me. I waited over 10 minutes for a frozen pizza. I will never come back. Not sure if the food they prepare is even safe to eat.

Absolutely amazing spot! The shawarma here is next level – juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, with fresh toppings and sauces that really bring it all together. On top of that, their pizza is just as impressive – crispy crust, loaded with fresh ingredients, and full of flavor. It’s rare to find a place that nails both shawarma and pizza, but they do it perfectly!

Hands down the best shawarma I’ve ever had! The food was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, and the sauces were perfectly balanced. If you’re craving authentic, delicious shawarma, this is the spot. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be coming back!

Discovered this place as stayed in hotel near and was rated 4.1 on Google. When arrived the place wasn’t to cleanliness standard I would have preferred but decided to give it a chance as some small shops are hidden gems. Unfortunately that was not this time. We ordered “shawarma lamb wrap” under Donair. Being familiar with shawarma, we asked the worker if it was donair or shawarma because they were different foods, just appear similar. She was unable to clarify and said same thing basically. When the “shawarma” came it had no shawarma ingredients except cucumber. It was a tortilla that was falling apart, a meat with taco seasoning, lettuce, and hot spicy pepper. As we kept eating we realized there was no shawarma, it was a mystery wrap. Following I asked the worker if we could have taziki for sauce to add as it was missing from the “shawarma”. She said okay, and brought Cesar dressing. As well, we ordered a small Greek salad for 7.99… which was not a Greek salad. It was tossed salad with no dressing. I questioned the manager as we had the wrong salad and he stated it was Greek. I told him it had no Greek salad ingredients besides cucumber (no olives, feta, tomatoe, etc). He continued to disagree and then gave a 50% off the salad. When the bill was changed, he charged $5 instead of 8, which wasn’t even 50% off.
Unfortunately it was a bad decision of a place to eat. We witnessed a homeless lady walk through the shop behind the counter to collect cans from the trash. I questioned the worker as I thought it was a thief and she wasn’t bothered, said the homeless collect the cans from the trash. As important as recycling is, it was questionable for a homeless stranger to be behind the food counter… if wanting to help give recycle, this should have been organized in a more professional manner.

I do not recommend this restaurant as it was a waste of $55 CAD.
