The staff are always very friendly and welcoming. It is also clear that they put good ingredients and an abundance of love into each pie.

I highly recommend!“

“I'm usually the first one to arrive as I drive my mom to work at the hospital and head there minutes before they open therefore I get the most fresh pies I've ever had through out the years that includes all similar restaurants in the city. They all have there specifically known pie there known for but I honestly think all choices from the meat pie to the zaatar deserve a 5star from here as they're all more delicious then each other.“

“We’ve been many times at Shawarma Palace Carling Av. The food is truly excellent, fresh, tasty, and generous portions. However, the setting feels a bit plain, with very basic furniture and more of a canteen vibe than a restaurant. The service could also be warmer; a friendlier welcome at the counter (the cashier girl) would really improve the experience.“

“Ordered the steam/cheese and cheese pizza from papa Sam’s on uber. The pizza was one of the best pizzas we have ever had.
Delicious, so tasty made to perfection.
Everyone absolutely loved the pizza.
Thank you for an amazing meal and happy holidays.“
