“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“

“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.“

“Thank you for the food Mihran, the food was so delicious. I highly recommend this place in Toronto“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful birthday celebration at Aviv tonight! The friendly, attentive, welcoming staff and owner helped to make it a special evening. The food was fresh and delicious, and the birthday dessert was decadent. We loved the back patio, and felt comfortable and unrushed. Thank you, Aviv! We will be back.“

“I was a single diner but unfortunately there was a 20-30 minute wait at the door due to the restaurant being fully booked. However, I noticed bar seats and decided to dine at the bar. Shamin greeted me with no hesitation and quickly took my appetizer order which to my surprise came out very fast. The portions are on the larger scale, can definitely be sharing plates. I also ordered the lamb chop dish with basmati rice and apparently received more than what was expected of the plate. Overall I had a great dining experience the food is excellent, high quality, fresh ingredients and extremely tasty. Thank you Shamin for your stellar service!“

“awesome experience“

“we were served by Dmytro and it was a great experience. to start we got a lot of appetizers: baked feta, winter salads, mussels and octopus. they were delicious and definitely stood out as a starting dish. for our mains, the branzino and striploin, they were a filling meal with great flavour. the food was lovely and our server was attentive and friendly. would love to come back again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excelente lugar y cálido ambiente“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best Restaurant Toronto GTA“

“Perfect place to eat .. i must mention its healthy as well (highly recommended) 😀“

“I ordered the shawarma plate from Pita Lite and it was really good! The food was fresh, flavorful, and nicely portioned. The meat was tender, and the sides were well seasoned. The staff were friendly and polite, making the whole experience even better. Great spot for a quick, tasty meal — definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Munzur Restaurant and Butcher House for the very first time, and it was truly a wonderful experience! From the moment you walk in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve been transported straight to Turkey 🇹🇷.

We originally came for the doner, but unfortunately it was already sold out – which only proves how popular it is! Instead, we tried the köfte (meatballs) and the chicken shish kebab, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic, rich, and prepared with so much care. The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned – every bite was a delight.

The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and friendly, which made the whole dining experience even more special. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and hospitality are so genuine and heartfelt.

If you’re looking for authentic Turkish cuisine in Toronto, Munzur Restaurant and Butcher House is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return – next time, I’ll make sure to come earlier to finally try their famous doner! 🌟“

“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“

“One rave review for Osmow's restaurant applauds its flavorful and generously portioned dishes, highlighting the perfect blend of spices and freshness in every bite. Customers also praise the friendly staff and inviting atmosphere, making it a go-to spot for delicious and satisfying meals.“

“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.“

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

“good deal on National Shawarma Day“
