50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near East York

“The best SHAWARMA EVER keep up the good work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻many thanks 🌺“

“Best shawarma in Toronto!“

“The food is always amazing, service is always impeccable and they always have top notch entertainment. If you want to try great Macedonian food and Balkan food in general and you live in Toronto, this is the place to visit.“

“This is easily the best shawarma place I've had in years. The chicken was juicy chunks of chicken breast versus fatty pieces that I find a lot of other places opt for. Their sauces are soo flavourful and in my opinion, there is nothing that could improve the shawarma I tried today for the first time. It was also grilled to perfection. I will be back.“

“This is by far the best Shawarma place I’ve been to. I was served by a very wonderful young man with amazing a service. We was very fast and efficient and very helpful with my order. I happened to get his name which is Pedro and I will always come back and ask him to work on my food.“

“Such a great place. I have great memories coming here and ordering, the flavour never disappointed me and I sometimes look for an excuse to go out to stop by here for food! The staff is really nice as well. It is also really convenient to just walk by, walk into, and order. I am really looking forward to come again and again!“

“Awesome service! Great food 😁👍🏼“

“This is a great place for mediterranean food - we had the labneh/ hummus/beet salad as appetizers and then Lamb chops / chicken schnitzel and the chicken shish kebob - all of it was excellent for a very reasonable price. We will come back for sure!“

“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 best pita falafel I’ve had in a long time! 🌯💚 Every bite tasted fresh, and you could genuinely feel the love and care that went into making it. The falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and everything was packed with flavour. Great food, great people, and an experience I’ll definitely be coming back for. Highly recommended!“

“In total agreement with their sparkling reviews. Had a takeout falafel wrap (the best we’ve ever had) and all the descriptives apply. Fresh ingredients, tasty generous filling, perfectly dressed condiments, a warm toasted pita and all wrapped in a way that’s easy to eat and you don’t wind up wearing. And talk about a bang for your buck it was hard to finish at one sitting.
On entering Delinas your immediately struck not only by the presentation of their food but also by the cleanliness, organization and engaging staff. We will certainly be returning to try their shawarma wraps and plates.
Well done Delina…“

“Foods and servings are really great!“

“Excellent lamb chops & fatoush salad. Very nice tahini trio. The Armenian red wine was also very pleasant. However prices could be friendlier! And the menu could also spell out the description of the item & the headings in friendlier language. Appreciate the Armenian language & kudos to management for promoting it, but an English translation alongside would be helpful. Am gonna go back here - for sure!“

“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!“

“This was fantastic! Very good! Highly recommend!“

“Stopped in for the first time and had a great experience. From the moment I walked in, Ron greeted me with a genuine smile and made me feel welcome. He took the time to explain the menu, gave me a few recommendations, and suggested I try the Triple Mix Shawarma since I’d never had it before. I’m glad I listened because it was excellent.

What stood out the most wasn’t just the food, but the hospitality. Ron was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience feel personal without being pushy. It’s rare to find customer service that makes you genuinely want to come back, and that’s exactly how I left feeling.

If you’re looking for great shawarma and even better service, Big Pita is definitely worth a visit.“

“Great vibe. Food & drinks are wonderful“

“האוכל טרי וטעים המנות גדולות השרות אדיב ויעיל המקום נקי ומזמין The food is fresh and delicious The portions are large The service is courteous and efficient The place is clean and inviting“

“Perfect place to eat .. i must mention its healthy as well (highly recommended) 😀“

“Very happy with the food and service. Good job guys keep up“

“I recently tried the new Shawarma Ramen Bowl at Tahini's, and it was absolutely amazing! From the very first bite, you can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The chicken was incredibly fresh, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and the cheesy flavour infused into the ramen noodles made every bite rich, creamy, and packed with flavour. The combination of shawarma spices and cheesy ramen is unique and seriously delicious.

The portion size was generous, making it a filling meal, and at only $12, it's an incredible value for the quality and amount of food you get. It's hard to find a meal this satisfying at such a great price.

The staff were welcoming, friendly, and provided excellent service from the moment I walked in. The restaurant itself was spotless, well-maintained, and had a clean, inviting atmosphere, which made the whole experience even better.

If you're looking for something different and full of bold flavours, I highly recommend trying the Shawarma Ramen Bowl. Tahini's knocked it out of the park with this one—I’ll definitely be back for another!“

“I had a great experience at Tahini’s. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I tried the wrap and the rice, and both were fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. It’s a great place to grab a meal, and I would definitely recommend it. I’ll be coming back again!“

“We previously dined at The Eggplant restaurant, in this same location. It was our favorite restaurant. We were disappointed when it closed. Recently, we discovered that The Wild Oregano is in this location, with the same chef. We were delighted. Sivan was our waiter. He was very professional and pleasant. The food is still excellent quality and the portions are still generous. Also, very affordable. We highly recommend The Wild Oregano Restaurant. Thank you. BRAVO!“

“As a weary traveller's we took refuge in this unprepossessing establishment and were feted with shawarma that was stellar. Eating in with a wall decorated with well deserved praises, I had the lamb shawarma plate and it was everything you could want!“

“Delicious food, faster service“

“• Delicious healthy food • Low cost • Great service“

“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.“

“Magnificent venue, excellent food and wonderful staff“

“Amazing food! Will be back!“

“Some of the friendliest most accommodating people. Not only are they so welcoming but also prepare and serve some of the most delicious shawarma! I go here from time to time for lunch and they always greet and make sure everyone feels welcome no matter how busy it gets. Really amazing and delicious food, I always recommend Pita Lite to my friends and coworkers haha 👌🏼“

“Excelente lugar y cálido ambiente“

“Absolutely incredible experience here! The food was fresh, authentic, and packed with flavor some of the best Middle Eastern food and baked goods I’ve had, esp the manaeesh.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a warm, inviting atmosphere but what truly stood out was the service. Every single person who walked through the door was greeted like family. The staff were genuinely warm, friendly, and welcoming, not just to us, but to every customer I saw. You can tell they really care about the people who come in, and that kind of hospitality makes all the difference.

Zaad is the kind of place I’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I always come to Shawarma West because their chicken shawarma on fries tastes amazing! The food portions are generous, and everything is fresh and delicious. The staff are very welcoming, especially Aman — She always serves with a great attitude and friendly smile. Highly recommend this place if you want tasty food and great service!“

“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“

“It’s another great easy fast food option. I recommend taking rice vs fries since it’s already a heavy meal, but that’s me personally. It’s really good and tasty when you’re hungry on the go. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-31“

“Update:
Still my favourite pizza place 2 years later! 5 star food and 5 star service! Always delicious and served with a smile!

Ordered a pickup special pizza from here and I became an addict. Amazing 'to go' as well as by slice. Generous toppings at a great price point. Also, the staff are always friendly and awesome; They are always ready with a smile and genuinely seem to care about their customers and they are passionate about their food.

Great pizza! Super hot and fresh (they only have two pizzas for sale at a time and about two slices of each flavour,

One slice for $4.50 (including tax) is super filling! Remember to ask what kind because the toppings are under the cheese! I had pepperoni and my boyfriend tried the Chicken Delight (spicy slice) and the donair. Donair was really good (I found it a bit too sweet, but it's really popular and worth giving a try!) and i didn't try the Chicken Delight, but it was so good that it inspired him to try the Donair.

Also, the paper plates are super cute.“

“I'm very happy to find this little hidden gem right beside my workplace. I'm on a ketogenic diet, so all I really need is a bunch of meat, protein, and a basic salad with garlic sauce and tahini. I also need it to be sugar‑free to fit within my lifestyle, and this place has absolutely delivered. It's pretty affordable, and the meat portion is very generous. I found my new favorite place. I do think that tahini and garlic might need a little bit more salt, but other than that, I'm very satisfied with the quantity of food relative to the price and the ratio.

Also, shoutout to Yousef for the great service.“

“I haven't had the chance to eat here yet but what I can say is that the staff and owner are very kind. I needed to send an email from my computer and asked to sit here and he was really nice to me. It made me feel like I would definitely come back here on purpose because they treated me like a human being. I asked the person next to me if they were enjoying their meal and they said they really liked it so it was unbiased :)“

“I had been wanting to try this place for a long time, and the 2 gyros for $10.99 deal finally convinced me to stop by. I can honestly say I don’t regret it at all!

First of all, the price-to-portion ratio is excellent. The two gyros were enough to leave me feeling full, which is great for the price.

The meat was flavorful, and they were generous with the portion. There was also plenty of fresh, soft, and juicy salad, which made the wraps feel light and well-balanced.

I’d also like to mention the service. It was fast, friendly, and professional. One thing that really stood out to me was cleanliness and food safety: one of the employees sneezed and immediately went to wash their hands. Having worked in restaurants myself, I know that not everyone does that, so I really appreciated seeing it.

Would I come back? Absolutely! I’d also like to try the chicken wrap next time. The combination of the tasty meat and the light, fresh ingredients was exactly what I was looking for.

Pros: Great prices, good quality, friendly service, delicious food.

Cons: The only downside was that I didn’t notice a restroom or a place where customers could wash their hands.“

“Great food and service“
