50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Thornhill

“Ordered a take out from this place today. The food was great. I am picky with Turkish food since I find it to often be dry but I had no issues with this place. There was an error with my order with one major item missing. The owner fully refunded me and made sure the order made its way to me. Mistakes happen sometimes and how owners handle them is the true measure of customer service. I will definately order from this restaurant again.“

“As a Chinese I never try Middle East food before, so today I choose here and it really surprised me.

And the beef salad is tasty too, u can also add topping inside and choose the sauce U prefer. Highly recommend!“

“This place is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!. Food taste and presentation is just off the charts. Definitely worth the trip. I would give 10 stars if I could.“

“Absolutely loved the chef’s menu option - so many delicious signature dishes to try. We started with a selection of dips and yummy bread with zaatar spice. Then delicious salad with persimmon, unbelievable tuna tartar in lettuce wraps, beet salad that was to die for. And finally - branzino grilled to perfection and a rack of lamb. We finished off with an incredible pistachio desert that was not too sweet and just the perfect end to a beautiful meal. The drink recommendations were excellent too. Healthy, beautifully-presented meal and the quantity was generous for $100/pp. Wonderful service and atmosphere! Highly recommend.“

“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“

“The food is incredible and big portions, the servers were very attentive and the atmosphere is very chill. We got the hummus plate, a starter of falafel and a couple schnitzel sandwiches. They have have a very respectable selection of draft and canned craft beers to make the meal perfect“

“This is my all-time favourite restaurant. It’s a bit of a hidden gem, so don’t let the unassuming location fool you. The food is exceptionally high quality, healthy, and rich in flavour — truly the best I’ve had in the GTA. We do tend to spend a lot when we go, but the quality consistently matches the price.“

“The food is fresh, tastes great, and I would definitely say one of the better tasting shawarma plates around. Would definitely recommend, I've been here a few times for several types of dishes and I would say the Biryani Chicken Plate and Chicken Shawarma is amazing.“

“Great food! Great chef! Great little spot to eat. I left happy and satisfied. I will be back....maybe tomorrow.“

“This was fantastic! Very good! Highly recommend!“

“Always amazing service at this Osmow’s location. Jeano, the manager, is one of the friendliest and hardest-working people I’ve seen in food service. Every time I come in, he makes sure the food is fresh, well-seasoned, and made exactly how I like it. You can tell he takes pride in what he does—super respectful, patient, and the kind of person who makes customers want to come back.
I also want to highlight Berj, who’s always welcoming behind the counter and keeps the place running smoothly. Both of them create a great atmosphere.
Food is consistently on point, portions are generous, and the service is genuinely amazing. Easily one of the best Osmow’s locations I’ve been to.“

“This was our second visit to Watercolour, this time to celebrate a family birthday, and it truly reaffirmed why it’s our go-to special occasion restaurant in Unionville and Markham. High-quality American and Mediterranean cuisine can be hard to find in the area, and Watercolour consistently delivers. The team was so thoughtful in accommodating our request for a highchair for our little one, which we really appreciated. The food never disappoints. The ingredients are incredibly fresh and high quality, and every dish was cooked to perfection. The calamari was a standout and a crowd-pleaser across the table, from under 1 to 60+. May and Michelle took wonderful care of us. Even with our little ones, they were patient, kind, and generous with their time while managing several other tables that afternoon. Their service made the celebration feel even more special. We will absolutely be back for our next milestone.“

“awesome experience“

“Samira at Pita Lite made my shawarma sandwich perfectly — honestly one of the best I’ve had. Her customer service is amazing, super friendly, and welcoming. I highly recommend this place, and if you get the chance, definitely order from Samira — her kind smile makes the experience even better.“

“Very happy with the food and service. Good job guys keep up“

“Fantastic fresh food. Friendly and fast service. Price well worth what you get. Highly recommend. My new go to for Greek cuisine. Step in say hello and grab a plate. They make their own dressing and tzatziki that is authentically delicious. Thank you so much for the experience.“

“Last time, I ordered a chicken and rice bowl here, and it was honestly the best chicken bowl I’ve had in Etobicoke. The two employees, Nitish and Rupali, were extremely friendly, and the customer service was excellent. I will definitely be coming back again.“

“What a delightfully unique spot! When you first walk in, the layout and decor might catch you off guard — a little quirky, a little unexpected — but that’s part of the charm. There are a few cozy tables up front, and more tucked away past the grill in the back.

We stopped in for breakfast and were absolutely delighted. Nothing over the top, just a classic, comforting plate of sausage and eggs, prepared with real care. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the fresh fruit on the side was a lovely touch.

The couple who run the place are warm and welcoming, and it’s clear they put their heart into everything they do. One of my favourite details? They have actual newspapers on hand, just like a proper old-school diner. A real gem of a place — can’t wait to return.“

“I was looking for Mediterranean food in Vaughan Area and my lucky time send me to Mr. Nick Grill.
It is the best food, service very nice and friendly.
The plate was created so beautifully and all the ingredients fresh, tasty and healthy.
The best place to dine in just give it a try“

“Warm and inviting hospitality, excellent food, both delicious and generous. A wonderful addition to the Queen Street Beaches strip.“

“Best shawarma in Toronto!“

“Great food and service“

“Foods not greasy, lots of chicken, kind of surprising. Not the lazeez experience I know. Was a little pissed that extra garlic sauce would have a surcharge, but they are extremely generous with the normal garlic sauce amount.

Service was good, place is a little basic. If you're looking for a good lazeez, go here. If you're looking for the trashy lazeez experience (dry chicken, greasy food) this would not be it.“

“The best SHAWARMA EVER keep up the good work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻many thanks 🌺“

“Love this location at Cityview Clean place , delicious food Very friendly staff My favourite place to dine in & take out“

“Absolutely AMAZING!!!!! All dishes are fresh , generous pourrions , impeccable service“

“I want to give a big shoutout to Dheru and Rehanna for their amazing service. I accidentally placed my order at another Osmow’s, but they went out of their way to call the other location and sort everything out for me. They still made me a delicious poutine here and were super friendly the whole time. Really appreciate their effort — great customer service!“

“Lazeez Shawarma is a great choice for quick, flavorful meals. The wraps and platters are always packed with fresh ingredients and served in generous portions. Staff are friendly, service is efficient, and prices are reasonable. A dependable spot for satisfying food.“

“My neighbor suggested this spot. Took the kid and discovered a great deal! 2 chicken shawarma in pita for only 15.99! I got mine fully loaded with medium spice. The flavors were well balanced and the veggies were fresh. Will be making this place my regular shawarma spot for sure.“

“Cosmic Pizza & Donair is a fantastic spot right in Toronto for anyone craving an authentic taste of the East Coast. I tried the donair, and it was absolutely excellent—flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and identical to the ones you’d find in Halifax. The meat was tender, the sweet sauce was spot-on, and everything came together just right.“

“We were there on Saturday May 3rd for dinner. Tommy was our server and very nice and friendly. I had one of the best vodka martinis ever! Everyone was very attentive and Tommy even took the time to give us some advice regarding visiting Greece! The entertainment was the topper and a lovely finish to a wonderful time! Thank you all and especially Tommy for taking care of us! See you soon!“

“One of the Best shawarmas I had in Toronto. It is meaty and saucy - they way I like it. Love that the have a hotdog sausage in the shawarma. I ordered the sweet potato fries too - which were also great The meat is tender and fresh - seems like you are eating thighs but it’s actually chicken breast. Highly recommended“

“I really enjoyed my experience at Lazeez Shawarma. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and the portions were generous. Everything tasted perfectly seasoned and well-prepared. I’d also like to specially mention Manoj for his excellent customer service — he was very polite, welcoming, and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back again.“

“I visited Lazeez Shawarma twice today and had very different experiences. In the morning, the oil quality seemed off. The fries tasted old and not fresh, which affected the overall meal. However, when I returned in the evening around 8 PM, the oil quality was noticeably better and the fries tasted fresh and much improved.

It would be great if the quality could stay consistent throughout the day, because when it’s good, it’s really good. Consistency matters.“

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

“good deal on National Shawarma Day“

“Calamari the best one in Toronto.“

“Very good fast dinner on Blor street. Nice culinary experience. Mediterranean cuisine. The humus plate is excellent! And the rooster bag salad is really good. Have accompanied everything with a roast cabbage. Really nice experience for lunch.“
