The food is consistently great. The atmosphere is always joyous (especially when someone is celebrating a birthday!). There is a wonderful sense of family and kindness. We love this place!

The food was pretty bad I got the ribs they were harder to bite than anything the only good stuff I had was the fried rice not going back to eat there

Incredibly rude. Walked in a bit past noon and they said they were not open. I asked for the price of a food item to 3 different staff and they had no idea how much it was. The 3rd guy who came out proceeds to shoo me away and tells me to leave. I didnt even do anything...

Big thanks to Nav for impeccable service at my birthday dinner. He was patient with our big group and sweet with the young ones. Friendly, courteous and professional....it all shone through. The food was delicious. I had a mushroom barley soup- which was sizeable enough for a meal itself- and my favourite, the BBQ chicken breast (with extra sauce of course). Most of my party had some kind of beef, and overall everyone was sated and satisfied. I also want to thank the restaurant for making a 'big deal' of a birthday- with very loud music, a special sparkler and the staff coming to the table to sing and make a fuss. It was a great place to celebrate my birthday among family, of all ages. Thanks to all!

food is fine but the service needs work.
- for dining in, the servers don't really listen to you. if you have multiple requests or more than one person wants to address the server, generally they will say "ok" and walk away the instant your first request leaves your mouth. This leaves the table waiting for whatever they need, often basic things like water, cutlery, salt etc. that should already be on the table. Same goes if you ask for a refill, they will come back, fill only your cup then leave without asking the table. You can tell they are noticeably annoyed after a few trips and it starts to show in their service like they're somehow mad at the table for making too many requests. I want to stress, none of it is unreasonable like going off the menu. It is all basic things. I could maybe excuse it if it was a particularly busy night but this is consistent behaviour.
- for take out, every time i go and ask for schug (spicy) its very rare they actually put it on. Sometimes they'll insist i just never asked for it. Other times they'll keep asking if i'm sure i want it (presumably because i'm white since they never do that with my gf who has more of a olive/tan tone lol). On a couple occasions i had to come back and show them the receipt and that they forgot it, only for them to try to charge me a second time for it. I've had to make a mental note to only order online as there is written proof. If i call in the order, they say its their word against mine....which is especially unprofessional as to ensure clarity, i ask them to repeat the order and the mention the schug. it is far from the first time i've seen them get noticeably defensive and blame the customer when it was THEM who forget or just choose not to listen
it's also worth noting that you seem to get objectively better service if you speak Hebrew

Probably the worst or one of the worst restaurant in GTA. The kebab was overcooked, burned and tested and looked like a charcoal. The chef should be ashamed for his “cooking”. Stay away from this place.
Amazing food and great service!

Over priced! Not clean, food below average.
Horrible place, especially for take out. 23$ for a take out cold shawarma with a Laffa that breaks From being stale
Vegetarian options: By far the lowest quality of salad bar. Almost nothing to offer
