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.“

“Absolutely loved my experience at Lazeez Shawarma! 🔥

The chicken shawarma was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. The garlic sauce and their signature spicy sauces took it to the next level — every bite was just amazing. The portions are super generous, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.

Service was quick and friendly, and the place was clean and welcoming. Honestly, one of the best shawarma spots around — definitely coming back again and again!

Highly recommend to anyone craving delicious, satisfying food! 🌯✨“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great service at Osmow’s! Special thanks to John and the other staff member working with him today. They were very friendly, respectful, and professional. The service was fast and the food was delicious. I often come here for dinner because it’s close to me, and the experience is always great. Thank you both for the excellent service!“

“Great food - if you want high protein option and low carbs then choose Shawarma Salad with meat of choice, excellent service, really enjoyed the making of food as it was done with pride not just thrown on a plate like some restaurants, thank you once again for great service and food.“

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

“awesome experience“

“Watercolour is a very unique resturant with mouth watering food.. perfect for any occasion. You are able to view them cooking your food from your seat on the lower level or you can have a romantic dinner for 2 on the upper level. I will be back with friends thats for sure.. 5 stars“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Excelente lugar y cálido ambiente“

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

“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!“

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

“Great food and service“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing! I got the two chicken shawarma special and they were jam packed with ingredients and great taste. Friendly staff that worked swiftly. Cash or debit only. The restaurant is pretty tight on space, so either dine quick or get takeout. Not much street parking and the lot nearby isnt snow plowed. Will come again! (I took a picture of it half eaten because it was that good)“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Two things make this place stand out:
First, their signature Garlic and Tahini sauces are absolutely incredible—best I’ve had in a long time. Second, the service from staff was outstanding. They where professional, welcoming, and made our visit truly special. A must-visit! Thank you dear Salah ….“

“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.“

“Used to go to other shawarma places in the area. Had a favourite restaurant but they went down big time in quality and service.
Always noticed this small shop and thought it was time to give it a shot.

Dude was super nice and helpful. Food beat expectations. Will be my go to shawarma place now!“
