Middle Eastern Restaurants in Scarborough, ON

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

“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.“

“They serve great food and amazing hospitality.“

“Great restaurant for chicken shawarma Sandwiches and platters.“

“Wanna get full for $10 and have a quick nutritious meal? This is the spot to be. It's not the most mind-blowing shawarma I've had (they don't claim to be anyway), it truly is some of the best bang-for-your-buck food in the area with well-balanced portions that hit the spot.

The guy working the counter gave rockstar service. There were quite a handful of people including myself, yet he was able to get all of our food out in a timely manner considering he was the only employee- all with a smile on his face. He was also kind enough to go out of his way and grab me water without me asking. It was such a small but thoughtful gesture and I appreciate it a ton.

The chicken shawarma rice plate was well seasoned & portioned, you get 3 veggie toppings and a variety of sauces to choose from. A medium has 4oz of meat for $9.99, or you can get a large for 6oz of meat at $12.99.

I like that they have actual toum and not just shawarma yogurt sauce (although I got that on my food as well and it was delicious). They also offer weekly deals which are pretty cheap imo considering how expensive food is nowadays.

If you're looking for parking I'd look for a curb on Dawes rd and just walk on over. The shop is super tiny and only has two stools for seating so it's best for takeout.“

“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 food and service! Would 100000% recommend😍“

“I really like this shawarma place and the food is always great. Today Salaheddin gave excellent service , very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, one of the ladies working there can sometimes come across as a bit rude, which affects the experience. Hoping the service stays more like it was today!“

“I think it's safe by now to say that everyone has heard of the term that abs are made in the kitchen... I will add something to this by saying that it doesn't have to be in your kitchen at home or by eating bland and boring food! I had the opportunity today to pass by and visit my old friend Johnny at his shawarma restaurant on Kennedy Road not far off the 401... @johnnysshawarma is consistently ranked in the top handful of shawarma restaurants in the city and I can honestly say that I've never had better shawarma anywhere (not even when visiting Israel!)... And that says a lot considering with my middle eastern roots (my Dad was from Egypt) this is one of my favorite foods as it's delicious as it is nutritious especially when given the option to swap out the starchy carbs like the insanely good rice and potatoes with equally amazing salads and dips... Make sure to stop by and grab a bite if you are heading anywhere East of the DVP off the 401 and let them know Andre sent you 💪💪💪“

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

Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and top-notch service“

“I love it so much it’s so good“

“First time visited the place and it's a hidden gem I'm telling you. Great service and the guy even recommended me the most selling stuff to try out and God it was indeed Amazing! Their rice topped with all the souces, veggies and the meet is a match made in heaven. Highly recommend and will for sure visit again.“

“great staff,tasty food🤤🤤🤤“

“I visited around 7 PM and had a great experience. The young gentleman serving us was exceptional. I asked him for recommendations, and he took the time to explain the menu and suggested the chicken shawarma platters, which turned out to be an excellent choice. I also ordered the falafel special.

He was very polite, friendly, professional, and always had a smile on his face. His customer service really stood out and made our visit even more enjoyable. The food was fresh, delicious, and the shawarma platters were some of the best we've had.

A big thank you to the young service man for his outstanding hospitality. We will definitely be coming back!“

“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!“

“Absolutely the best! Love their beef sharwarma , tried it for the first time and not disappointed 😋 the hummus adds such good flavor profile and I like spicy. Super tasty will definitely come back ! The male staff was very welcoming and polite“

“We had a wonderful experience at Sumaq Iraqi Charcoal Grill. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of authentic Iraqi flavors. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly, and the quality was outstanding. Sumaq is known for its traditional Iraqi charcoal-grilled dishes and fresh bread, which really makes the experience special.

A special thank you to Maryam for her exceptional service. She was very friendly, welcoming, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Her professionalism and warm attitude made our dining experience even better.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and excellent customer service. We will definitely be coming back!“

“The best doubles in the east end and the city!
3$ doubles can’t beat that price ,6polouri for 1$ mawdness ! Soooooo good ! I’ve heard the jerk chicken is good too ! I drove half way across Scarborough to come here when I crave doubled“

“The service at this location was incredibly fast and efficient. The food tasted great and was prepared perfectly. A huge shoutout to the employees, Manjot and Daroon, who were extremely polite and provided excellent customer service. The overall experience was amazing, and the staff made sure everything was handled well. I will definitely be coming back here again!“

“Tried the chicken shawarma here and honestly loved it. The shawarma was really good, fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. What stood out even more was the service. Rizwan served me and was genuinely kind and helpful throughout. The staff really went the extra mile to make sure everything was good. Great food and great people, definitely worth visiting again.“

“One of best shawarmas in entire gta for long time now. Wish they offered shawarma boxes as well at lunchtime for a more economical option tha paying 20 a plate, like many other donair/shawarma places i pay 13 dollars for..esp for me who intermittent fasts and avoids carbs so you can get salad n meat only“

“I recently visited Faryab Restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Chicken Koobideh, which was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and served fresh. The salad was also fresh and complemented the meal very well. The restaurant has a beautiful traditional Afghan atmosphere that makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.

What truly made my visit memorable, however, was Sabina’s exceptional hospitality. She was warm, friendly, and genuinely cared about providing a great dining experience. She personally ensured that my meal met the restaurant’s high standards and checked that everything was prepared properly. Her attention to detail and professional attitude stood out throughout my visit.

Sabina brought the food promptly and made sure I was satisfied with every aspect of my meal. Her kindness and dedication to customer service reflected the restaurant’s commitment to quality and hospitality. It is rare to find someone who takes such pride in making guests feel comfortable and appreciated.

The combination of outstanding food, a traditional Afghan setting, and Sabina’s excellent service made this a truly enjoyable experience. Because of her hospitality and the quality of the food, I would happily return to Faryab Restaurant again and again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Afghan cuisine and exceptional customer service.“
