Middle Eastern Restaurants near Richmond Hill, ON

“I was in GTA for half a day and was looking for some Persian cuisine in the area and it’s when I found this gem (thanks to great reviews from previous customers). We ordered some kashke bademjoon for appetizer , and had dizi , fesenjoon and kabab torsh . And OMG they were all very delicious. The portions were great and honestly the price was very reasonable for the quality! I wish I was local so I would go often! Highly recommend !“

“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.“

“Review Title: Beautiful Atmosphere and Great Food, But a Bit Chilly

Review Text:
I had a lovely experience at this restaurant in Yalda night! The atmosphere is absolutely stunning—thoughtfully designed and perfect for a family gathering. The food was delicious, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor.

The only downside was the temperature—it was a bit colder than I would have liked, which made it a little less comfortable. If they could adjust the heating, it would be perfect!

Overall, highly recommended for the ambiance and food.“

“Hands down the best chicken shawarma we’ve ever had! We ordered the chicken shawarma on rice and were blown away by how flavourful and smoky it was. The meat was juicy without being greasy, and the portion size was generous. The tzatziki sauce was also fantastic—super fresh and a perfect complement.“

“I have been coming to this location regularly for about a year now and I have to say, no other shawarma spot compares to this one.. it’s always clean, the food isn’t greasy like other spots, and the staff is sooo friendly! Shoutout to Ash, and the others who work the midnight shift ☺️.“

“Excellent food. Great staff! Highly recommend!“

“Great food, we have been customers for a long time, a few years now. And the food is always fresh and amazing. Our favorite dish is the Greek salad with roasted chicken breast.never disappointed.
Thank you for serving good food like that. They got Uber eats, so the ordering is super easy .“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great Tuesday Deal!

Tried the beef shawarma on their Tuesday special and it did not disappoint. The beef was juicy and well-seasoned, the portion was generous for the price, Definitely a solid spot for a quick and tasty meal. Highly recommend if you're nearby on a Tuesday!“

“Update: Been coming here for years even after i moved to another area! Tried shawarma all over including other countries and this is still #1 place for me!
----
Love their shawarma and hummus tastes awesome! I wanted to try their take-out the other day and bought 2 shawarma boxes for 3 people... we still had half left when we were done!“

“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. The Atmosphere is welcoming and you can feel the love and care from the owner the chef and the serving young people. Defiantly will go again and again to try more interesting things on the menu.“

“I had such a great experience at Pita Land! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor – exactly what you hope for when you’re craving a satisfying meal. The portions are huge, they’re extremely generous with al the toppings, sauce, and meat. Its amazing!

What really stood out, though, was the service. Jess was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right and made the whole experience feel personal.

I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending Pita Land to friends and family.“

“Unbelievable! You won’t be disappointed“

“this place is amazing and the food is perfect. I am a vegetarian and I ordered falafal wrap and Falafel plate with rice. The portion size is huge. me and my husband ordered 2 combo- One wrap+fries+coke can (2 of these=40$ in total) but we couldn’t finish it. The staff was super friendly and took care of our special requests. Special thanks to Rajvinder Kaur ji, who gave us amazing food and extra ketchup and tray when asked for. I would give it10/10. Would definitely recommend!! I will come again with my husband’☺️“

Pita Land doesn’t just serve shawarma—they elevate it. Whether you’re a die-hard shawarma lover or trying it for the first time, this place delivers bold, authentic flavor wrapped up in warm hospitality.

The staff were friendly and fast, and the space was spotless. My wrap was made fresh to order, with generous portions and a great attention to detail.

Highly recommend. 10/10. Get the garlic. Always.“

“Ramen & Saleh, those two are amazing and of course their sweet mom, I was welcomed like family and the food is done from the heart. I had to stop eating to write this as I'm very happy that I passed and got to experience this warmth hospitality of theirs.“

“Great restaurant for chicken shawarma Sandwiches and platters.“

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

“Please like and follow.
We dropped by tabile bayview village at lunch. We selected to sit to their patio because it was quieter than the dining room.
The service was excellent and we chose their lunch formula. A fatouch, a selection of apetizers, the chich tawook plate and the salmon BBQ plate.
With no exception every thing tasted amazing, delicious and tasty. Seasoned properly and prepared with live.
I have to highlight the rice that was among the best I have ever tasted.
As for the service and the friendly staff; this place is managed and ran by the most lovable people in the industry.
I will come back to eat it this restaurant.“

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

“Come here and support this local business! Got a beef shawarma for $15, came with a huge wrap that honestly you could split in half and have one for lunch and one for dinner. It came with a big bag of fries and a drink. Best part were the owners, I believe they are Turkish couple. They were very welcoming and kind.“

“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“

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

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

“This place is similar to the concept of a combination of a coffeehouse, tavern, and dining hall in Turkey. It’s like a blend of three different places, something I haven't even seen in Turkey. I liked it; the prices are reasonable. There are about thirty people inside, but no women at all.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite while on a short trip and was warmly welcomed by the owner, who was incredibly friendly and hospitable. He gave us extra food and complimentary drinks when he found out we were from out of town. The Baba Ganoush was authentic and fresh, and the kebabs were tender and packed with flavor. Recommended if you’re staying near the Highway 7 area.“

“It’s really delicious halal food. If you are a food lover, pls have a try. Hope you will enjoy.“

“Best falafels in town, the young lady who works here is phenomenal she makes the best sandwiches and she knows exactly how I like it. It’s so delicious when she makes it. Such a blessing. These guys are the best store owner and everyone is down to earth, very friendly and it’s a great environment . I’ve been coming here for quite while now and I can tell you that it’s like home style and really fresh. You won’t be disappointed. If I can give 10 stars I will. Trust me on this one.“

“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.“

“Best Shawarma ever! Emad is very welcoming & friendly. Have tried many other places, but no comparison. He is the best!!“

“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. Quick service, friendly staff, and great value make this spot a standout. Every bite transports you straight to the heart of Middle Eastern cuisine. Don't miss out!“

“Your food is the best, and very delicious, nobody make the liver like you,.the cream chap and beef tikka are perfect.. Actually all your food are so good, you are so friendly and you know what you are doing.. Just one point,. Why does your name not with the Uber eat?“

I showed the guy a video on how I want my Chicken Shawarma to be made, and it was perfect!!!

100/10 experience, very helpful and kind people serving the counter!“

“I've been visiting this place every Sunday, it's turned into a ritual. My Sundays are incomplete if I don't visit BRO'S. My favorite shawarma place and the shawarma is top quality. Quick shout-out to Mohammad his service is really spot-on and pays attention to every detail. A quick suggestion to add in just a fries wrap to your menu cuz sometimes I don't feel like eating chicken and only wanna have fries! Thankyou“

“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.“

“Delicious food, great price, generous portion!“

“Dropped by Lava Grill and ordered the Premium Shawarma Chicken Taouk wrap and plate — and honestly, it hit the spot. The flavours were deep, rich, and balanced just right. You could tell the ingredients were fresh, and the meat was marinated to perfection. It’s the kind of meal that satisfies both hunger and cravings.

A huge shoutout to Liza, who welcomed me warmly and connected me with the manager. She’s articulate, courteous, and handled everything with grace. People like her really set the tone for the place — professional, yet approachable.

Now, speaking of the manager — Ahmed truly stood out. His attentiveness and respectful communication showed that he values every customer. He personally made sure everything was up to standard, which you don’t see often these days. His calm, confident presence made the whole experience even better.

It’s not just the food that brings people back — it’s individuals like Liza and Ahmed who make you feel like your visit actually matters. That kind of service builds real loyalty. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending this spot to others.“

“We had a great time here! Food was excellent and flavouful. Prices were fair and portions were generous. Our server Christina was wonderful. Looking forward to returning (especially for more Lentil Soup and Pita!). Thank you!

Vegetarian options: Lentil soup was delicious!

Parking: Many spots available in the plaza.

Kid-friendliness: Was a family friendly atmosphere. Many items for kids to enjoy on the menu.“

““I ordered takeout from Nohadra Restaurant, and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was hot and fresh and the portions were very generous.

The chicken shawarma was perfectly seasoned. I also tried their beef kebab plate, which came with fluffy rice, fresh salad, and a deliciously smoky kebab.

Everything was packed carefully, and the order was ready on time. The staff at the counter were friendly and made sure I had everything I needed.

If you’re craving authentic Middle Eastern flavors and need a quick, satisfying meal, I highly recommend Nohadra for takeout. I’ll definitely be ordering again soon!”“

“It’s good please to have parties, holiday celebrations and so on. Food was delicious. Service is great. We had an amazing celebration and looking foreword to come to Baku Life again soon.“

“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 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“
