Middle Eastern Restaurants near Maple, ON

“Pita Land is honestly my favourite food spot, hands down. I've been going here for several years now (since it opened) and the location is so convenient for me that it's become a regular thing. What really gets me is how consistent the quality has stayed the whole time, no matter when I go.

I've ordered from here during late night school projects, after long gym sessions, and even during gaming nights with friends. The chicken shawarma has never once let me down, whether I'm getting the poutine, the plate, or the potato bowl, they're all consistently amazing. The staff have always been friendly whenever I've gone in, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great too.

Also huge shoutout for being open late on Uber Eats. I genuinely can't even count how many times I've ordered from this place at this point, it's a lot.“

“very tasty chicken and beef shawarmas, love it“

“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.“

“Thank You so much for an amazing evening November 09, 2024 at Old Avenue. The food is amazing, The Service is so attentive and quick.

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

“So, so, so insanely delicious. My favorites were the lamb shank and the koobideh. We came across this restaurant randomly, and I can confidently say it has become one of my favorite spots for Persian food. It’s a cozy, homey place where the food truly speaks for itself, everything was incredibly flavourful and made with care. I also loved that you can swap half the rice for salad for just a $2 charge, which was totally worth it. The owner was wonderful as well, very welcoming and hospitable. Can’t wait to come back, easily has become one of my favourite spots for Persian food!“

“We enjoyed a delicious Summerlicious dinner at Tabule in Bayview Village with generous portions of falafels, pitas with hummus; beef and lamb kaftas with rice and vegetables; and desserts of rice pudding and pannacotti. Our server Zeel was attentive and welcoming. Everything was perfectly executed!“

“The best services and most polite and friendly staff with a very good quality of food and products“

“This place is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!. Food taste and presentation is just off the charts. Definitely worth the trip. I would give 10 stars if I could.“

“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.“

“To be honest you I had been lots of shawarma- doner restaurants. This place 10/100🙌. I ordered chicken shawarma sandwich. It was absolutely delicious. The owner is being so kind and warm. The owner Deniz made me happy with this delicious food. Everybody should come here for taste it. I appreciate it for good service.“

“Had an amazing experience at Stake & Juice! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. Everything was prepared perfectly, and the quality was outstanding.

A special thank you to Reyhaneh for the exceptional service. She was so kind, welcoming, and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. Her friendly attitude truly made the experience even better.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and outstanding customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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 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!“

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

“I eat here almost every day. And they're amazing. The price point is fantastic. And the food is authentic. My recommendation to anybody who loves Middle Eastern food. Love their fries and the yellow rice is my favorite. But try the chicken sandwich or the falafel wrap“

“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 get meal from here quite often and never felt disappointed….
real taste, satisfaction and value for money you pay..

Special shoutout to Harmeet for a brilliant service and consistent smile that can make your day aa well“

“I had the restaurant to myself as World Cup was on lunch was great had the chicken soulvaki was very good different from how the Greeks do this dish, but all in all a very nice lunch washed down with a beer which makes a change for a beer at lunch.
Staff polite friendly would certainly look at going back when I'm in the area.“

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

“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“

“Great food and super friendly, Highly recommend“

“Had an amazing experience at York Shawarma! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and made perfectly. What really made the visit stand out was the outstanding customer service from Baris and Ali. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home.

The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and had a great vibe, making the whole experience even better. It’s clear they care about both the quality of their food and their customers. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend York Shawarma to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!“

“Had a terrific experience with a buffet order at Pita land. The amount of food that we got and the quality was superb. Special thanks goes out to the workers Manpreet and Sunil who packed the food very carefully and the preparation was amazing.“

“This place is great. Been going here more years than I can count. The service, the food, the portions, the price -- it's been consistently good. I wouldn't pay attention to the low reviews because that hasn't been my experience, and it hasn't been the experience of anyone I know who comes here. Was literally here earlier in the week. The service is always great. The food quality is consistent, and consistently great. And the portions are always generous. There's a reason it's still around. And the hummus! The pita! People come from all over the city to get it. (Totally worth it)

Caveat: this is not a fancy, high attitude dining establishment. But it's comfortable, it's laid back, and the food ... I did say it was delicious right?“

“Amazing food. Best Laffa and kebab“

“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“

“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.“

“Best in town .We enjoyed hospitality and customer service of staff.Must visit.“

“i often get the beef poutine, and it's so delicious. the fries are fresh and crispy, the sauce is perfectly balanced and not overly salty, and the beef pieces are so tender and blends beautifully with the rest of the meal. the gravy sauce and cheese isn't excessive which i enjoy, too. the portion sizes are also great. service is friendly and swift. definitely recommend this place. 🍟“

“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!“

“We needed a large catering order 2 days before my mother’s funeral and they were so accommodating, easy to advise on an Assyrian funeral at our church St Mary’s and they did not disappoint! The food was delicious traditional comfort. The food was high quality large portions and mostly everyone asked where it came from and for their contact. We had 100 people there and the trust we put in them was delivered in every way! Thanks again Zad for making this day go so smooth ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
