“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 .“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

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

“I accompanied a friend who requires a wheelchair, and the museum and restaurant were fully accessible. All the doors are automatic, and the staff were so kind as to accompany us via a shortcut to the to the parking lot. The galleries were not at all crowded on a Tuesday afternoon, and the restaurant was moderately busy with excellent, attentive service.“

“I come here for a second time around. The food, Ambiance and staff are superb, this is highly recommended. Especially SACO our Server, he is so Funny and very approachable, always takes good care of his Table to make sure everything was fine.“

“Do you love amazing shawarma?
Do you love large portions?
Do you like being treated like family every time you walk in?

GO TO YORK SHAWARMA!

I've tried just about every shawarma shop in the GTA and this is, without a doubt, the BEST one around.

Keep up the great work, my friends!“

“This is an incredibly clean and DELICIOUS place to eat! The staff are amazing and friendly; they go above and beyond to satisfy your tastebuds and hunger !! Sooo impressed !! YUM!!!!!“

“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. 👌🇮🇶“

“Delicious food, great price, generous portion!“

“MashaAllah I had an amazing experience at Alibaba Shawarma! The beef shawarma was incredibly delicious and truly the best in Toronto. Abdul Rahman, who was serving me, provided exceptional customer service with a friendly and professional attitude. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious shawarma and excellent service!“

“Was at a wedding and took a quick walk while things were being set up. This place looked cool so went in grabbed a quick drink.

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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I come here often with my sister and this is one of the best underrated place i have ever been to, not just the food but the atmosphere during late night we just walk to the store and get a shawarma wrap and the staff is very sweet and welcoming. Love it
The food, The price, The people. A comfort place indeed“

“My husband and I had a romantic dinner at Genatsvale Georgian Restaurant last Saturday, and it couldn’t have been better. The cozy atmosphere, live music, and warm lighting made it the perfect spot for a date night in North York.

We ordered chebureki, lamb BBQ, and a bottle of Georgian red wine — everything was delicious and beautifully served. The food, music, and service made us feel like we were back in Georgia. A true hidden gem for couples who love great food and authentic ambiance.“

“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“

“Got the Chicken and Falafel dinner - both were very delicious! Rice was very flavourful, potatoes were dressed with some sort of garlic oil which made it heavenly, and both the chicken and falafel were one of the best I've tasted, especially compared to the more major chains. Go support local good food.“

“I have been occasionally buying Anoush chicken rice and chicken wrap, and the food is really good. My favorite server Mohit is very accommodating and friendly as we chat a lot of times when i visit each time. I ended up adding some tips to him even i never dine-in but all take-out. Recently, he told me that temporarily there is a slight increase in price but i did not notice and it did not affect that much anyway. Mohit is just being honest as he works with integrity. Keep up the good work, buddy, an always smile to cheer us up!“

“Glad that we have an ali baba's in the area, the restaurant itself is very clean and well maintained and food is flavourful and fresh. My favourites are the chicken shawarma wrap and the falafel wrap, the have daily deals that are a great price!The staff are friendly and courteous, but when they get very busy and there is a line, the service and attention to hygiene get looked over. Multiple times that I have been there and it has been busy I noticed that they didn't take their gloves off when touching the checkout machine and money and resumed to serve others with the same gloves on.Also, when busy, they rush to get everyone's orders put together and ingredients that I said I didn't want were put into my wrap. I'd rather wait a little longer and get the right ingredients.I will definitely give them another chance and hopefully by then this issue is corrected!“

“Our meal was excellent. Fresh ingredients, well cooked meats, we will be back for sure“

“We ordered the Adana kebab platter and the chicken platter—both were delicious! The Adana had that perfect smoky flavor with just the right amount of spice, and the chicken was juicy, well-seasoned, and tender. The sides complimented the meal nicely, making it a really satisfying experience. The service was also amazing—right as we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and even given lentil soup to try. Definitely worth coming back!“
