Parking: Good“

“Best shawarma home taste, none of that osmows fast food. You must come here nothing beats anything like it. As the chef said you eat the experience everything fresh hummus best in class. I don’t care what you have to do that day come here and eat.“

“We recently hosted a 60 guests private party for my son’s engagement and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Event coordinator Nicole and the entire serving staff were wonderful….professional, attentive and very accommodating. Our guests raved about the restaurant’s atmosphere, food and service. I would recommend Lume to anyone, as we we’ve never been disappointed, whether for a dinner night out, or now a special occasion.“

“As a Chinese I never try Middle East food before, so today I choose here and it really surprised me. The desert (I dunno the name , that triangle one) is really sweet and tasty, it have some chopped nuts inside too. And the beef salad is tasty too, u can also add topping inside and choose the sauce U prefer. Highly recommend!“

“I got take out last night, rushing to eat before work (salad and chicken shawarma sandwich). It tasted odd... shortly after,, I called the location to tell them, something was off with the ingredients. I wasn't sure of it was the onions, turnips etc. something was left out too long perhaps... and today I am sick as a dog. I've eaten here before. I think they need better quality control on the food... especially being safely stored.. perhaps temperatures..etc“

“The large Michelin-recommended sign at the entrance certainly sets high expectations, and in many ways, the experience lived up to that. Service was nearly flawless—attentive, professional, and warm throughout the evening. The cocktails were a definite highlight: creative, well-balanced, and expertly crafted.

The food, while good overall, didn’t quite reach the same heights. A cabbage dish had a lovely sauce, but the cabbage itself felt undercooked and was difficult to eat, with the filling being rather plain. The bureg had a rich, doughy texture, but the filling was slightly too runny and lacked structure. Dessert, though flavorful, was let down by an overly thick tart shell that overwhelmed the filling.

While the meal had strong points and was enjoyable, a few refinements would elevate it to match the Michelin-level promise the sign suggests.“

“I got the falafel plate. Taste is off the charts. The super fresh ingredients are a big reason why. Would love to just keep coming back here to try new sides every time. They all look so delicious! Very nice service as well. Solid value for a filling meal.“

“Great vibe. Food & drinks are wonderful“

“LOVED my meal here . Also such friendly and kind employees ! I got a gyro wrap regular size and it was more than enough with a side of fries. The sauce they put on it (medium ) was so delicious but a little bit more spicy than I anticipated. The fries were one of the best fries I have ever had. I will definitely be back here next time I am in town. Thank you !“

“We had a wonderful birthday celebration at Aviv tonight! The friendly, attentive, welcoming staff and owner helped to make it a special evening. The food was fresh and delicious, and the birthday dessert was decadent. We loved the back patio, and felt comfortable and unrushed. Thank you, Aviv! We will be back.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Tahini Restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the excellent service by Dhairya. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. His professionalism and warm attitude truly enhanced our dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“Food is always great with fresh ingredients and fries fried right in front of you, staff is polite and friendly and accommodating to both letting you build your meal to your preferences or just doing it their way, seating is relatively comfortable- a slightly sterile, very modern look that's not to my preferences, but not enough to knock a star“

“Delicious food, faster service“

“The owner Tarik is always so pleasant, the food is fresh, and the chicken wrap was very tasty.“

“Great, familiar, cozy atmosphere. This place has one of the best chicken shawarma wraps (greek style) of the city, the juiciness of the meat, the spices, every bite is wonderful, the tahini sauce was great and the selection of toppings is more than enough.

The prices are really good considering this economy in Canada and the quality of food you’re getting. It’s a small place, with really nice people working there, really nice experience, will come back many times more. 🫶🏻🤝🏻“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best Restaurant Toronto GTA“

“I arrived right on closing time yesterday (9.30pm) and even though they were closing up these lovely people prepared me a delicious falafel in pita with the works. I took a seat outside, and devoured it while watching the Pride weekend world go by.“

“What a delightfully unique spot! When you first walk in, the layout and decor might catch you off guard — a little quirky, a little unexpected — but that’s part of the charm. There are a few cozy tables up front, and more tucked away past the grill in the back.

We stopped in for breakfast and were absolutely delighted. Nothing over the top, just a classic, comforting plate of sausage and eggs, prepared with real care. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the fresh fruit on the side was a lovely touch.

The couple who run the place are warm and welcoming, and it’s clear they put their heart into everything they do. One of my favourite details? They have actual newspapers on hand, just like a proper old-school diner. A real gem of a place — can’t wait to return.“

“I come here weekly since my stay in the hospital and have always been treated with respect and amazing customer service.

The food is prepared in an efficient time, presentation is good, it’s very clean and well stocked.

Thanks !“

“Fantastic people who care about the food they prepare and serve. The final products are absolutely delicious.“

“hoooooly moly. $7.99 for a chicken shawarma save me. Please save me $7.99 chicken shawarma. You have pulled me out of the deep hole of inflation and saved me with your loving open wide arms. I got a chicken with fries and I think it genuinely prevented me from a silly careless night. the fries are the battered kind that you can never recreate at home. the other people who ordered behind us included a newborn baby, a golden retriever, and a man who comes here daily. I love you. please never switch up bhais shawarma & grill.“

“This is an incredibly clean and DELICIOUS place to eat! The staff are amazing and friendly; they go above and beyond to satisfy your tastebuds and hunger !! Sooo impressed !! YUM!!!!!“

“This is my go-to spot for shawarma! I often find myself coming back here to eat out 🤭. The vegetables are always fresh, and the chicken—my usual choice—is tender and flavorful. The restaurant also has a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, super affordable but great portions!“

“We had a recent event at Petros82! The service was amazing along with their delicious food! We will definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend this restaurant for your corporate events!“

“One rave review for Osmow's restaurant applauds its flavorful and generously portioned dishes, highlighting the perfect blend of spices and freshness in every bite. Customers also praise the friendly staff and inviting atmosphere, making it a go-to spot for delicious and satisfying meals.“

“Best shawarma in Toronto!“

“Excelente lugar y cálido ambiente“

“Saw 2 shawarma plates for $20 as I was walking by on Yonge. Decided to check it out on a whim. Wasn't bad but could have done with more chicken. Still considering the price it wasn't bad. Just wish there was less vinegar in the plate. Salad and rice portion was decent.“

“Pita Lite is a solid choice for a quick and tasty meal. The portions are generous, and the flavors are spot on. I had the falafel wrap, and it was fresh and flavorful, with a good mix of crunchy and soft textures. Service was quick and polite, making it a hassle-free experience. Highly recommend for a convenient Mediterranean fix!“

“Honestly, it is the best Shawarma I've had since I came to Canada. My friends and I should have tried Big Pita earlier than we did. The quality of the Chicken and Beef is supreme. Prices are reasonable, and the portions will quickly satisfy your appetite. I highly recommend Big Pita.“

“So pleased with our dining experience Constantine Toronto. The Restaurant manager Rudra went out of her way to ensure we had an amazing dining experience. Stephen and Emma who served us for dinner and brunch were professional and fun all at the same time. The chefs are truly talented and it showed throughout the flavours of our meal choices. Cocktails from David and Ashley in the cocktail bar were also elevated and unique. I would highly recommend this Restaurant and look forward to our return Micheal and Shawn Cheers“

“Amazing shawarma. We had the best falafel ever. Morean goes the extra mile with details. She is a very happy lady with great energy!

Vegetarian options: Just look at her menu.

Parking: This restaurant is inside the York Farmer’s Market. Plenty of free parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Automatic doors, accessible washrooms. Accessible parking. If none available take up 2 parking spots and display your parking tag.“

“I had tried Saj Wraps in boustan,Montreal before, so I was on the lookout for something similar in Toronto. My friend Katie and I stopped by last Thursday night, and it was a great find.

There was only one person working—Sawn—and he truly impressed us. Super friendly, humble, and fast. He recommended the Zaatar with chicken, falafel wraps, and the sujuk pide. We ordered all three, and they were fresh, packed with flavour, and absolutely delicious.Despite handling multiple orders alone, Sawn had our food ready in just 12–15 minutes. His positive attitude and speed really stood out.The place has a cozy vibe, great service, and amazing food. It’s a true hidden gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back with more friends soon!“
