Middle Eastern Restaurants in Etobicoke, ON

“Hearty portions, relatively quick service, and reasonably priced.

I got the beef shawarma pita box with rice and it's deceptively large. I was pleasantly surprised at how big the portion was and was decently full by the end of the box. Food tastes good and the staff are friendly.“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the beef shawarma from Cooks Hussein and Ayaa, and it was an unforgettable experience. The flavors were absolutely outstanding; the beef was perfectly marinated, tender, and packed with aromatic spices that brought each bite to life.

Hussein and Ayaa clearly pour their heart and soul into their cooking. Their attention to detail is evident in every element, from the warm, fluffy pita to the fresh toppings. The balance of savory meat, tangy garlic sauce, and crisp vegetables created a deliciously satisfying dish.

Beyond the food, the hospitality was remarkable. Hussein and Ayaa made me feel right at home, sharing their passion for authentic shawarma and the stories behind their recipes.

If you're a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or just looking for an incredible meal, I highly recommend trying their beef shawarma. It’s a culinary experience you won’t want to miss!“

“This is easily the best shawarma/donair place in the Mimico area.
I get the lamb wrap 2 or 3 times a week. $9 for a huge portion of meat (or falafel) can't be beat! Hit me up with lettuce, cabbage and pickled beets ?
The owner also makes his own baklava which is delicious.“

“The food was great, third time coming here. The portions are amazing for the price! nowadays you can’t really find a place with good food, low price and BIG portions. Also service is always friendly :) they are always super nice ladies working there!! I always get the shawarma dinner really good.“

“As a vegetarian I would say that the best part about falafel wrap is that it’s loaded with flavours that are very exquisite and unique.
I also tried their falafel wrap …. It’s next level of comfort food. I do like their garlic potatoes too they one in a kind
Everyone should eat atleast once to experience the fresh herbs and spices“

“I know the restaurant since 2010. One of the best I've been visiting not just in Canada but also in the world. for sure, I highly recommend you to try its delicious dishes. Respectful and kind staff, you'd love to talk with.“

“I tried the chicken, beef, and lamb shawarma, along with the biryani, and everything was delicious. The meats were tender and flavorful, and the biryani had a nice balance of spices. Be aware, though if you opt for spicy, it’s very spicy!

Parking is convenient, with plenty of space. Overall, great food and easy access make it worth a visit!“

“I have been a frequent customer at this outlet for about 2 years now and their customer service has always been impeccable. Yesterday for instance, Tanish and Nikeita (hope I am spelling their name right) made me one of my favourite go-to food, philly chicken poutine. I went into the store with just 20 minutes to close and still they served me with an amazing, welcoming smile. Thank you so much, y’all are amazing“

“This restaurant was the best i have ever eaten at, every bite was like you were tasting heaven itself, the lovely cultural food was only the start of how great this restaurant was. The service was literal perfection itself, the waiters were so kind and service was so fast. And on top of all that the restaurant was really spacious and wasn't so squished, and had nice decoration. Overall, 5/5, everything was top notch, highly recommend“

“The best food you can treat yourself to. The interior of this restaurant is very chic, staff is very friendly and the shawarma is delicious!! The fusion of the sauces and the toppings is paired so well. The falafel was soft and moist. Their secret sauce is a game changer and adds such a nice flavour. They also have freshly baked middle eastern naan’s and other breads. Hidden gem in Rexdale/Etobicoke area close to Humber College. They do have chicken shawarma, beef shawarma and other proteins as well.“

“Royal Mezgouf in Etobicoke, Toronto, is an Iraqi restaurant specializing in traditional dishes like mezgouf, a charcoal-grilled fish prepared using authentic methods.

Friendly service and unique Iraqi cuisine, particularly the grilled fish and kebabs. The ambiance is also frequently praised, with comfortable seating and lovely decor. High-quality Middle Eastern dining experience, Dj music, cocktails, shisha, and party are offered on weekends after 10 pm.“

“We were not sure if we would like it but it’s amazing, I got a large chicken plate and my husband got a small and of course I ate all of mine and I won’t need to eat for a week… Definitely going back“

“Love that this place is open late so we can grab food. Ayush & Muskaan are such positive folks & have excellent customer service with a smile. Kudos to them & this location for being available for late night grabs. Highly recommended on quality & quantity.“

“Restaurant Review for Xawash

Xawash is a gem for anyone seeking authentic, flavorful cuisine. From the moment you step in, you’re welcomed by warm, down-to-earth people who take pride in their service. The atmosphere is simple and clean, allowing the focus to stay on the incredible food. We tried the lamb chops and Mandi, both of which were deliciously seasoned and cooked to perfection. The flavors felt genuinely authentic, and each dish had a homemade touch that made the experience all the more enjoyable. Great service, great food—Xawash is definitely worth a visit!“
