“I go to Pita Land quite often and every time I visit I receive excellent customer service. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. One of the workers, Arsi, is especially great and always provides outstanding service. The quality of the food is always the best and everything tastes fresh every time. Honestly, I wouldn’t choose any other shawarma spot over Pita Land. Highly recommend.“

“I really enjoyed my experience at Lazeez Shawarma. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and the portions were generous. Everything tasted perfectly seasoned and well-prepared. I’d also like to specially mention Manoj for his excellent customer service — he was very polite, welcoming, and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back again.“

“Delish food for 59 years - will continue to eat there whenever passing by“

“I happened to pass by this place and decided to grab some takeout for a friend. He’s a chef, and even he said it was absolutely delicious!

It was also my first time trying savory barley soup, and it was amazing ,I’ve only ever had the sweet version before. The owner’s Kabab style is really unique and full of flavor. Everything was so delicious, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Shawarma lover here, I’ve had the most viral in the city and this spot deserves more recognition. 10/10. Meat was fresh, juicy and flavourful.

The owner cut the meat fresh off the rotisserie, most shawarma shops pre cut their meats & have sit in a heating compartment which dries it out. Beef was amazing with extra beef fat on the rice, chicken was juicy. He gave me extra beef fat when I asked with no issues.

Pay cash and get a free drink. Support this family ran restaurant. The owner is so nice and warm. Welcoming & out going. Will 10000% return.

Truly fantastic shawarma as they live up to their name.“

“I ordered 2 gyros and two gyro plates
. The gyro plates were good but the wraps were even better . The okra soup was fantastic. Good service and owner is kind and respectful. I’ll be going back . I’ll be getting a soup every time I’m in .“

“I had such a great experience at Koochini Shisha Bar! The atmosphere was vibrant, the music set the perfect mood, and the shisha quality was excellent with smooth flavors and great variety.
But what truly made the night special was Reyhaneh’s service. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect for us from start to finish. Her positive energy and professionalism really stood out.
Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a fun, relaxing night out — and definitely ask for Reyhaneh!“

“We met up with friends at Tabule because we were very attracted to their menu which had a lot of choices for all of us! We were certainly not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We all enjoyed our choices! Great variety and amazing value for the lunch prix fixe price! Thank you Tabule! xo“

“Best schnitzel and best value I've had in a long time! The place is definitely a hidden gem with it being at the bottom of a commercial building, but I would come back again in a heartbeat.

The owner is also very nice and genuinely cares about customers.“

“Amazing experience, especially the chicken. I’ll come back!“

“I first came to this place more than 15 years ago and it was amazing..a hidden gem.., then it changed owners and they tried to make it more "upscale" but it was just more expensive and quality of the food dropped..it was still "ok" for a change once in a while.. . I have not visited Belle for years now as I moved out of Toronto and then the pandemic and yesterday while in Toronto we decided to order take out .....very very disappointed The prices don't match the quality of the food and when we picked up we just saw a bunch of teens playing videogames not really customer oriented. We had to wait longer for the order and the food was cold. The Lula kebab was burnt, the home fries (that was the signature master piece) were dried up, the chicken was tasteless... Poor quality, poor customer service and expensive. Will not come back or recommend again“

“One the best Kebob and Chicken dishes I've ever had!“

“Staff were very polite, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was really good and the tables were clean. I ordered chicken doner combo, it was ready in 5-10mins. Definitely will come back here again.

French fries were a bit overcooked and were served without sauce, would be better with sauce.

Thanks for service and good prices.“

“Great quality food. Delicious. You need to try Rumi's!“

“The Ultimate Shawarma Experience in Vaughan!

If you're on the hunt for the best shawarma in the Vaughan area, your search ends at Shawarma Jwan. I recently visited and was absolutely blown away by the quality, flavor, and sheer size of their meals.

We ordered the mixed shawarma plates, and as you can see, they do not hold back! The plates came loaded with a generous bed of fluffy, aromatic yellow rice, topped with a mountain of succulent, perfectly spiced chicken and beef shawarma. The meat was incredibly juicy, tender, and full of authentic flavor—exactly what you crave in a top-tier shawarma.

The sauces were the cherry on top. They were liberally drizzled with a rich, creamy garlic sauce and a vibrant, tangy hot sauce that added the perfect kick. It created a mouth-watering symphony of flavors in every bite.

I also have to highlight the sides. The accompanying salad was fresh and crisp, and the assortment of pickled vegetables—from the vibrant pink turnips and crunchy pickles to the olives and hot peppers—added a wonderful tangy crunch that balanced the richness of the meat perfectly.

Shawarma Jwan is a true gem. The portions are huge, the ingredients are fresh, and the taste is phenomenal. Highly recommended for anyone craving a satisfying and delicious meal!“

“Best food, delicious and tasty! You should try the baklava and the lamb ! Excellent!“

“Ordered Ghaimeh and Koobideh from here and it is without a doubt some of the absolute best food I’ve had in the GTA. It’s fresh and absolutely perfectly balanced. Highly recommend and looking forward to trying the rest of their menu items.“

“El Greeko is truly a gem! Their staff takes such care in preparing the food with love and attention to detail, and it really shows in every bite.

Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great food and great service!” ❤️“

“I ordered the chicken salad from Pita Land and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and so fresh. I mixed the hot sauce and tzatziki sauce together and honestly, that combo is just next-level amazing. 🔥🥗
I’m currently on a keto diet and this meal fit perfectly into my plan while still being super satisfying. It’s great to have such a tasty low-carb option that doesn’t make you feel like you’re missing out. Definitely my go-to spot now. Highly recommend!“

Keep up the great work, my friends!“

“Barmakey is easily one of the best Iraqi restaurants I’ve tried!
Authentic flavours, fresh ingredients, and portions that actually satisfy. The service is fast, the staff are friendly, and the whole place feels like home. Highly recommend to anyone who wants real Iraqi food done right. 👌🇮🇶“

Great service, very cool atmosphere in my opinion and I didnt get any food but I saw some and you can see the kitchen and Im pretty sure its delicious.

Thank you to the guy at the bar who knew I wanted to be quick.“

“MashaAllah I had an amazing experience at Alibaba Shawarma! The beef shawarma was incredibly delicious and truly the best in Toronto.

“Mr. Zagros Shawarma is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic, delicious shawarma. The meat is tender and flavorful, the pita fresh, and the sauces are the perfect complement.

“Amazing food. Best Laffa and kebab“

“I came as a walk in, for take out. Did not realize they had patio space open! It's such a beautiful day and I had the patio all to myself. Enjoyed the Shawarna Poutine and it was delicious!!! Staff are super friendly! Would come back and recommend to family and friends!“

“I really appreciate that the staff are always smiling, it shows that the work atmosphere is great. Kudos to the management, because a positive atmosphere really reflects in the customer service. Also, whenever I order for pickup, my order is usually ready within a few minutes, so the speed is excellent. I’m very satisfied with both the service and the food so far!

One small suggestion: for the bowls,I would appreciate a slightly larger portion of protein if possible. I usually order through Uber, and a bit more protein would make the portion even better. Just a suggestion“

“Lazzez Shawarma serves tasty and fresh food, and the service makes the experience even better. The girl who takes the orders is very kind, polite, and always smiling. She listens carefully and makes sure everything is correct, which makes customers feel welcome. The shawarma is flavorful, well cooked, and served quickly. Overall, it’s a great place with good food and friendly service. 👍“

“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 food is incredible and big portions, the servers were very attentive and the atmosphere is very chill. We got the hummus plate, a starter of falafel and a couple schnitzel sandwiches. They have have a very respectable selection of draft and canned craft beers to make the meal perfect“

“Really delicious chicken wrap, peaceful environment, and on top of that I have never visited any shop in my life whose owner (the uncle) is as excellent and full of wisdom as him. Also, the parking was not congested when I visited on a weekend evening, so there is good space to park in my experience. The owner is very honest as well, unlike some other businesses that like to put paid and fake ratings.“

“We came by for a take-out oder, and while we waited for the food to be ready, Mohammad was very nice and got us some delicious soup with a plate of Kabob and rice!!
The food was AMAZING!!!! Fresh and yummy!! We will visit again!! Couldn't recommend this place more!!!“

“If you want to feel like you’re back home, this is the place to visit. The food has that real, comforting homemade taste — full of flavour, good quality, and cooked with care. From the rich, hearty soup to the fresh pickled vegetables, everything reminds you of traditional dishes made with love.
Absolutely delicious and highly recommended“

“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.“

“Love this place. I come by at least once or twice for lunch during the week. I really enjoy the poutine and think the portion size is perfect. Not sure if there's different staff on the weekend, but shoutout to the two girls working there during the week - they're both so friendly and have excellent customer service skills“

“Yummy food, the best lamb skewers in town , great taste , amazing food viraety and awesome atmosphere! I' ve visited this restaurant for multiple times and Always Wants To Comeback! Amazing and nyam yummy food that broad and stimulating appetite! Highly recommending!“

“Went here with friends and family (8 people) and it was as if we were at someone’s home and they cooked for us. Absolutely loved it! It’s so unassuming but very home cooked feeling. David and Ailia were incredible hosts. Definitely returning!“

“Great atmosphere. Great food.“

“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.“
