I was really excited to try this place on my short visit to Toronto. I planned my visit around their operating times listed on Google maps which says they open at 7 am. I came at around 8 am before my bus at 9 am and the employees said they only open at 9am. I suppose all the employees can really say is that they're sorry and I understand as someone who worked in food service... however this was really disappointing. Whoever runs the admin for this place should really update their hours.
To add icing to the cake the cashier of the convenience store they're located in accused me of trying to steal alcohol. :/

reallyyyy good chicken shawarma wrap, it’s definitely a large portion so you can get 2 meals out of it. love the toppings and they are generous with sauces! the wrap is thin and large and made in house. this place is palestinian too! will be back 😊

My favourite shawarma place in Toronto. Their shawarma’s and plates are big enough to share. The flavour is really good and they but in a good ratio of veggies and rice. Their home made hot sauce is really spicy so if it’s your first time and you aren’t used to a lot of spice, maybe get it on the side. It’s so flavourful and adds great kick to the dish though. It’s a family favourite take out spot that we frequent often.

One of the best shawarmas in midtown Toronto! Don’t let the small space fool you

Good is subjective but this is one of the best shawarma wraps I had in Toronto. The wrap is HUGE (enough for 2 meals) and the meat filling was very generous. The texture of the saj bread is nice and the sear they give it at the end makes it better. On top of the standard garlic and tahini sauces, they have pomegranate, and amba, which is a curry sauce I haven't had anywhere else. Its tangy, creamy, and I recommend it.
Sometimes I can't take a shawarma establishment seriously when they put olives in the wrap. I was glad to see no olives offered. I also came around the end of the day and the quality was still great.

I finally went by Flaming Stove to try out their chicken shawarma saj wrap and I really enjoyed it! To start this is not strictly a traditional shawarma wrap if you opt for the amba sauce, which is a curry flavoured sauce. Frankly this is what makes this wrap unique. It's not a heavily spiced sauce but it adds a bit of sweetness and tanginess that is delicious!
The saj wrapping is really good too. The wrap is pressed into a lovely crisp exterior.
The portion size is quite large so I managed to get a couple of meals out of the sandwich.
The portion of protein is generous and nicely seasoned without being too oily or salty.
Overall an excellent spot to get good wraps from. It's not traditional but the quality of food here is fantastic. This will be a regular visit for me.

I never would’ve thought the best shawarma in Midtown would be in the back of the convenience store but here we are. Absolutely fantastic, you can taste the quality, the freshness and the portions are huge. There are some very limited seating outside but it’s fairly functional and Spartan, not a place to go for a date or something. This is more of a strictly to go sort of place.

Had dinner tonight here, one of the biggest shawarmas I’ve ever ordered in my life. It was the size of the my forearm. The bread alone is cracked.
Best shawarma I've ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
