“For the first time I ordered food , and picked up , the place looks nice , and food very tasty and delicious. Staff very friendly. I recommend Laymoon Restaurant and cafe and definitely going there again“

“Amazing food. Best Laffa and kebab“

“The falafel here took me straight back to Jerusalem. Perfectly crisp on the outside and tender inside, the flavors were spot-on with fresh herbs and spices. The falafel, nestled in soft, warm bread, was complemented by a generous drizzle of tahini that added a rich, nutty depth to every bite. The sandwich was fresh, vibrant, and truly authentic. I'll definitely be returning for more!“

“Amazing shawarma. We had the best falafel ever. Morean goes the extra mile with details. She is a very happy lady with great energy!

Vegetarian options: Just look at her menu.

Parking: This restaurant is inside the York Farmer’s Market. Plenty of free parking.

The way you know a place is really good and comparable to the Middle East, it’s through the hummus, and it passed the test!!!! And the owner Ronald couldn’t be more hospitable and wonderful!! What an amazing experience! Shukran Ronald ✨??“

“We were celebrating a birthday and the food did not disappoint. We did notify the restaurant via open table and when we checked mentioned the bday but it was not acknowledged. We ordered the large salatim platter for appetizer but waited over 45 minutes for it. The server apologized a few times for didn't offer an explanation or gesture. The pita were hot and soft and all the dips were delicious. We then waited and waited for our mains (more apologies) had chicken schwarma (portion was not overly generous) which was also delicious. Had some salami and potatoes and yummy drinks. The food was so good I would be tempted to go back and hopefully the service slip was just an off night.“

“That was the best chicken souvlaki wrap I've ever had to date. The garlic sauce and hot sauce were standouts! It was also super fresh and the portions were generous. Wonderful service to top it all off! Hidden gem. Don't be intimidated upon arrival. Everyone's chill.“

“food is great and the staff are all friendly.“

“Shawarma N Fries is a hidden gem that truly delivers on flavor and quality! The shawarma is incredibly tender and packed with spices that create a mouthwatering experience with every bite. The fries are perfectly crispy, making them the ideal side to complement the delicious wraps.If you're in the mood for a satisfying meal that hits the spot, Shawarma N Fries is definitely worth a visit! Highly recommend!“

“Haven’t been in a while, but every time I’ve gone I’ve received the best in hospitality and great quality food. The atmosphere is just amazing and feels authentic. I just thought I’d give a shoutout since some people are so low and petty they’d morally attack a restaurant chain over some Twitter comments. Don’t listen to these losers that have nothing better to do with their lives.“

“The best services and most polite and friendly staff with a very good quality of food and products“

“Great restaurant for chicken shawarma Sandwiches and platters.“

“The best Iranian food you can find in Toronto! Their Gheymeh Tahdig and Loobiya Polo are hands down the best I’ve ever had, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend, and from now on, this is our go-to spot for Iranian cuisine.“

“Absolutely fantastic shawerma, great service. Owners are an amazing couple from Iraq and really know their way around shawerma. They're sweet, generous and great cooks!

Would recommend this spot to anyone!

I had a shawerma wrap and a coke for $9. An awesome deal and it was delicious. Compared to some other prices for food around here this is a steal. It was huge too!

FANTASTIC Shawerma here!“

“I always get the Chicken Shawarma sandwich. Owners are very polite and friendly. Price is good too. Blink and you'll miss it but best Shawarma place in town. Chicken is tender and juicy and toppings are always fresh with good portions.“

“If you are looking to have the best Shawarma, Kebab and etc. don’t look further , here is like heaven. I was looking to find a great quality kebab and Shawarma with a delicious taste and I found this place. They are going above your expectations.“

“I first came to this place more than 15 years ago and it was amazing..a hidden gem.., then it changed owners and they tried to make it more "upscale" but it was just more expensive and quality of the food dropped..it was still "ok" for a change once in a while.. . I have not visited Belle for years now as I moved out of Toronto and then the pandemic and yesterday while in Toronto we decided to order take out .....very very disappointed The prices don't match the quality of the food and when we picked up we just saw a bunch of teens playing videogames not really customer oriented. We had to wait longer for the order and the food was cold. The Lula kebab was burnt, the home fries (that was the signature master piece) were dried up, the chicken was tasteless... Poor quality, poor customer service and expensive. Will not come back or recommend again“

“Really good and flavorful shawarma, especially with saj bread. The family that owns the place is very nice....they make you feel welcome.

One thing I will note as I do frequent this place, maybe once a week: Going in the early afternoon my portion is significantly larger than when I go in the evening. For some reason, the morning crew is a lot more generous. Maybe just a coincidence although its a trend I noticed over 1.5 years

Overall, 5/5.....can't really complain“

“recommend place...........“

“Amazing food! Recommend and can’t wait to get it again.“

“One the best Kebob and Chicken dishes I've ever had!“

“Oh boy where do i begin. The aura the you feel when you walk in is unmatched. The workers greet you and ask what you want in an upbeat attitude which a smile and open arms. The food there is probably the best I’ve ever had in my life. Honestly life changing. I’m proudly their number 1 fan and will die on the hill of it being the number one shawarma place in the world. 10/10 ?“

“Never had a Shawarma before. Best place to have your first shawarma. OMG, this was the G.O.A.T tasting beef anything I have had in a long time. You will not be disappointed.
As for Service? For a small place, they were above and beyond the level of service one would expect from The Keg. Friendly, accommodative, and very helpful in suggesting options. They even offered us complimentary coffee and tea when they didn't have to. I loved that. A great assest to Scarborough. Keep up with great service and tasty food. All the best. Collect points at every visit for a free shawarma. As Johnny says, "what's better than a shawarma? A free Shawarma." ?“

“Stopped in by chance during a long working day on Sunday for a sit down meal.Facility was clean and the staff very welcoming.Portions were large and served hot and fresh.You will not be dissapointed to stop here for a meal.

Kid-friendliness: Several familys were here with their children.

Wheelchair accessibility: 100% barrier free compliant“

“This is an incredibly clean and DELICIOUS place to eat! The staff are amazing and friendly; they go above and beyond to satisfy your tastebuds and hunger !! Sooo impressed !! YUM!!!!!“

“Your food is the best, and very delicious, nobody make the liver like you,.the cream chap and beef tikka are perfect.. Actually all your food are so good, you are so friendly and you know what you are doing.. Just one point,. Why does your name not with the Uber eat?“

“Great location. Tasty, amazing value (big portions sizes and lots of sauces), and the workers there are very friendly. Super clean too!

The potatoes and salad in the plate option are very yummy.

Vegetarian options: Falafel and potato options“

“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.“

“Been going here for years. Best ali baba location in the city. Overall pretty good food comparing to other shawarma spots. Open late so mad convenient. The beef is always tender and juicy. Also ask for samosa and get it a little undercooked and not too crispy. Try the chicken and beef, also their veggie! Always getting 20s. Tonight my boy Ali came through and put together a special ?thankyou. Most beautiful oversized beef shawarma, double wrapped. You guys are always friendly regardless of the time, appreciate that!“

“Went for a casual dinner. Food and service were excellent. So was the wine - California, “Ironstone”. The way the waiter poured water was beautiful to watch. I' be been there before andI would go again especially for very good food.“

“A childhood favourite of mine… food was not as fresh as I remember though. Server was nice but seemed overwhelmed, perhaps short staffed? Lentil soup was the one dish that tasted just like I remember. Overall, will go again, but not the same as it used to be.“

“I went in early today to get something light before eating later in the day. I was BLOWN AWAY by Habib and Lulu. Not only did they greet me with a big smile, but Lulu kept light conversation throughout me choosing my toppings and then moved me onto Habib who was an absolute delight and ringed me out with a smile. Customer service like this is rare nowadays and always appreciated. These two deserve a raise!!“

“The preparation of food is an art form at this establishment with each dish carefully crafted to delight senses while the people maintain an attitude pf warm hospitality and respect ensuring that every guest feels valued and appreciated. Im gonna coming back here.“

“Wonderful time at Mezzatta tonight.“

“I got chicken shawarma wrap form the store. It was super tasty and flavourful which cost $9..03 only. The little thing that they should consider is the interior of the restaurant they could have been done it better. Any way perfect shawarma“

“I know the restaurant since 2010. One of the best I've been visiting not just in Canada but also in the world. for sure, I highly recommend you to try its delicious dishes. Respectful and kind staff, you'd love to talk with.“
