“We visited Volume last Sunday to celebrate our anniversary. We had a very wonderful time there. Freshly prepared grilled fish meal which was very flavorful and tasty! The manager was very patient to answer all our questions. Definitely our best eat out experience in the area. We will surely be back soon....Keep it up!,“

“Absolutely fantastic chicken shawarma and friendly, fast service. Do yourself a favour and give Zay's a try.“

“Great little place, I love the Shawarma! Make it spicy! (Careful, they make it mild-spicy if you ask for it hot, make it clear you want it HOT! If you want it HOT! They serve a lot of teenagers and likely don't want to make them cry.)“

“5 stars LOVE the food and people Highly recommend Damask biggest freshest selection of baklava and deserts ive ever seen Lunch is fabulous, healthy and fresh fresh fresh! we are making this our GO to“

“I was met and greeted by a super friendly, sprightly, welcoming Bulgarian woman, Velichka, from behind the counter at this Syrian family bakery right adjacent to a small very good quality shawarma restaurant run by the same family. She works ever so efficiently to produce top shelf quality pastries. These two food outlets are located kitty corner to a high calibre Arab supermarket with a great butcher with superb cuts of meat.

In any event, having a need for some snacks especially for our two teenagers with insatiable appetites, I thought I’d give this bakery a go. The signage outside showing their pastries convinced me to go on in. Once inside, a quick look at the menu and across the counter seeing everything was freshly baked, I placed my order.

It was a little bit of a wait- 30 minutes - but well worth it seeing these ever so tempting fresh out of the oven pastries as they were gently placed in the takeaway boxes.

Soon after arriving home, my 14-year-old son opened the box and yelled up “hey Dad, these look really good!” The 34 pastries including mini pizzas, stuffed spinach and cheesy herb boats were gone in a couple of days – proof positive, a sure sign that Manooshti is worth the very reasonable price of 2 dollars per pastry. Each bite into this soft dough is absolutely delicious. Your kids will really appreciate this great treat! A little time in the microwave can bring back that out of the oven freshness!“

“I’ve been coming here for a while now and the food never misses. The flavors are always on point and the portions are great.
​My absolute favorite thing on the menu is the Shawarma Poutine. It is easily some of the best I’ve had—the fries stay crispy, the gravy is savory, and they don’t skimp on the meat or the garlic sauce.“

“The food here is amazing! Everything's fresh and very tasty. We highly recommend Shawarma Star! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Excellent chicken shwarma!! Great service and the routine was good also“

“Amazing restaurant, food and staff. Best shawarma I’ve ever had. Get the shawarma fries plate it’s the best!!“

“Best Mediterranean food in the city. Been coming here for 20 years and the food remains consistently great. Worth it every time.

Update: For Vegetarians just a bit of caution as we found out that the falafels are fried in the same oil as the fish is. For us this rules out dining here as we had been assured that everything was vegetarian and no cross contamination would occur. This may be an oversight by management and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as the owners are very customer focused. If they are reading this and could address this particular issue I will happily come back and give them my business, but I can't willingly eat falafels that have been fried in the same oil as fish or meat products. Same goes for fries.“

“The food at the Turkish Flames is excellent, fresh, perfectly cooked and spiced. We ate here twice during a recent stay at the nearby Sandman hotel, and it was by far the best food in that locale!“

“I appreciate the environment“

“Rose Cafe in Town it is rare to find such a beautiful place, relaxing and tasty food. My husband and I go there for a date as it is not only food but the vibe is needed after a busy and hectic day. Yes the items might be more expensive than other places, However we should remember that we are paying for something unique, the place, the food. Highly recommended for relaxing and good food . Respectfully.“

“Ordered tonight!!!! Amazing!!! Soooo good!!!“
