These are amazing sandwiches, got the brisket with bbq sauce and caramelized onions and a steak sandwich. Both were amazing, the brisket was so tender and juicy. The steak was good too, but heads up, it's cold. Definitely not a bad thing, just a suprise. Grab yourself a butter tart while you're there, delish! I will be back no question.

Delicious beef brisket sandwiches at black camel, though the menu lacks vegetarian options and charges extra for basic toppings like tomato and pickles. The pricing appears high considering the portion sizes. However, with some adjustments such as including toppings in the sandwich price and revising the pricing structure, the overall dining experience could be significantly improved.beware that there's not much seating area/tables for dine-in.

I liked pulled pork, did not like chicken. Besides both items being way overpriced, chicken is definitely not worth a fraction of it.I don't understand why they serve them cold, you add cheese, it doesn't melt, sauces cold, extra toppings cold. I came there for third time, went for pulled pork with cheese, mushrooms and few sauces. And only slightly warm meat makes it edible. Don't understand why it's a 15 dollar humble sized cold sandwich. Although I appreciate the nice ingredients, taste of pork and sauces are nice too.

Black Camel is the best sandwich shop in Rosedale and one of the best in the city. The fact that it's thrived (let alone survived) on Yonge Street for 20 years now is a testament to its enduring quality.Same with the paucity of options on the menu. They do sell chili and some sides and desserts, but the main attraction is the sandwiches. There are seven in total: beef brisket, pulled pork, steak, pulled chicken, fancy BLT, BLT + chicken, and roasted vegetables. I've tried about half the menu at this point, not because any of the options are unappealing to me (they all seem delicious), but because I find it difficult to stray from my favourites.My two favourites happen to be the pulled chicken and the roasted veggie. For the purpose of this review I ordered a roasted veggie sandwich, so I'll give a detailed review of that item.The sandwich is substantial, with a very large bun and ample ingredients. The bun is so large, in fact, that the sandwich can be a bit bready if you don't add additional sauces and toppings (you're entitled to two sauces - everything beyond that costs extra). The buns are delicious and personally I like a bready sandwich so it's part of the attraction from my perspective, but I appreciate that it's not for everyone.The contents of the roasted veggie sandwich consist of three toppings you can also add to the meat sandwiches: sun dried/roasted tomato, roasted eggplant, and arugula. The tomato is amazing, it brings a perfect umami flavour given the absence of meat. The eggplant is roasted to perfection and gives some substance to each bite (again, compensating well for the lack of meat). Finally, arugula is a perfect complement to the flavours from the tomato and eggplant - no surprises there, given that you can commonly find this trio together in salads. For this sandwich I chose the hummus and horseradish as my sauces. To be honest, I felt like their flavours got lost in the sandwich - next time I would opt for a bolder flavour, like Dijon mustard or their house BBQ sauce.A few considerations worth mentioning. First, seating is somewhat limited both inside and at their tables outside when weather permits. If it's a nice day there's a lovely park basically next door, but otherwise I'd suggest taking it to go. Also, there always seems to be a line of people waiting for food so I'd suggest calling your order in ahead - I walked past probably 10 people waiting for sandwiches when I picked mine up today.One last thing: the staff have been friendly and polite whenever I've visited, which I always appreciate.Overall, Black Camel serves one of the best sandwiches in Toronto and is worth going out of your way to try (and conveniently, it's located next door to Rosedale Subway Station!)

Service was fast and friendly. Tried out the brisket and pulled chicken sandwiches. They are a good size. Flavors were very good. Chili was OK but prefer it much more spicy.
