Middle Eastern Restaurants near Pickering, ON

“Honestly, this place is great. Went here after a long day at work + gym and needed a nice meal for the night. My brother from Nepal (one of the servers) hooked me up with amazing service and conversation. Food was good and the prices were fair. Will be coming back!“

“Delicious food friendly warm service reasonable prices and most importantly clean and sanitary place. The pita they use is amazingly crispy and light. The fries are seasoned to perfection And they have lamb shawarma!!!!! Not many places offer that. Highly recommend.“

“Good spot for lunch, online ordering is fast and ready when we arrive. Consider giving an option for online ordering to put dining in so we don't have to waste the take away bag that the food is packaged in. Would be nice if extra veggies didn't cost 99cents“

“Had falafel for the first time at this place and they blew me away. It was freshly made infront of me and absolutely delicious. Also had chicken shawarma salad which was very good as well. Great place if you want fresh good quality food.

Vegetarian options: Falafel

Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“This place has excellent quality food and friendly service. I ordered the chicken breast kebab dinner. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, juicy and tasty! The naan bread is soft and fluffy. In fact, I can eat it by itself. The Greek salad is so fresh and I love the dressing. I like their Greek salad better than those at Greek restaurants. Overall, I am just happy to have a quality restaurant near my home where I can go to get quality food anytime.“

“I went for dinner at Laymoon Ajax location. Excellent service, delicious food, beautiful ambiance …“

“A clean restaurant, very tasty food, and very respectful to customers“

“the kunafa was the most delicious dessert ever! Highly recommend and can't wait to go back!“

“Took the souvlaki rice platter and a beef wrap.

Quantity was more than sufficient and matched the price but the chicken souvlaki skewer was a little too dry to be honest so I would recommend trying something else like the chicken/beef shawarma instead. The potatoes were 👌👌.

The beef wrap too was good both in portion and taste.“

“******HANSA**** AND *******SUMAN*********
This is my second time coming to Tahini’s, and both visits have been nothing but great. The staff here are genuinely helpful and go out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of.

On my second visit, I placed an Uber Eats order that was marked as buy one get one free. I didn’t realize Uber only processed one item, but the employee noticed and still made me two meals because he understood that’s what I was expecting. That kind of customer service really stands out.

Great food, great people, and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“It’s my go-to spot for a quick and delicious lunch. What sets this location apart is the consistently friendly service. The staff always greets you with a smile, and they're super patient, even when there's a line-up out the door. The pitas themselves are always fresh and generously filled. I'm a big fan of their falafel pita - the falafel is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained. It's a great place to grab a quick and tasty lunch or dinner.“

“great staff,tasty food🤤🤤🤤“

“I’ve been to this tahinis multiple times since opening and it had never disappoint. The food here is consistently filled with flavor but the vegetables sometimes lack freshness. Staff here are super nice and the atmosphere is clean and like an Arabic cuisine. Would recommend!“

“When I first entered the shop, there was someone inside, and I thought it was owned by an Arab or Syrian, since shawarma originated in Syria or is considered Arab. But the shawarma is amazing, the taste is delicious. They are kind people. There was a man inside who was from India, a very polite person. I really liked this restaurant.“

“Great taste of Middle East , authentic and fresh.“

“Came in close to closing time and they made me feel SO welcome — honestly deserves way more than 3.9 stars.
Walked in near closing, grills already being cleaned, and the guy still greeted me with a smile. Order came out fast and everything was incredibly fresh — I’m talking an hour later and it was still hitting hard.
The portions are generous, the sauces and fillings are more than enough, and the deals are real deals. I only got one and immediately regretted after having it not grabbing two — trust me, get the deal for 2, you WILL want that second one once you finish the first.
They even threw in a free can of drink just because they were happy I stopped by at closing. That kind of energy is rare. This place deserves all the love — don’t sleep on it!“

“Best salad and schwarma! Delicious! Great service!“

“My go-to place for shawarma — never disappointed! Easily one of Ajax’s best food spots. The portions are huge and very filling. It may be a bit on the expensive side, but it’s absolutely worth it for the quantity and quality of food you get. Customer service is amazing every time. Highly recommend!

+ Absolutely love their garlic potato salad !!“

“Good food 🥘 and I would come back with family again.“

“I like this place
The food is good
I don't know why it always takes them too long to prepare the food, but that's okay.

Restaurant is always clean
We sometimes dine in with my son

Good job guys!“
