“Delicious meal, falafel& Shawarma“

“Awesome service! Great 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 the falafel plate. Taste is off the charts. The super fresh ingredients are a big reason why. Would love to just keep coming back here to try new sides every time. They all look so delicious! Very nice service as well. Solid value for a filling meal.“

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

“We went there on Halloween night with a big group of 16 people, and honestly, I was so impressed! Even though the restaurant was super busy, the staff were incredibly organized and friendly. They served our food really fast, and everything was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was fun and festive, and we all had a great time. Definitely recommend this place — they really know how to handle a crowd with a smile!“

“LOVED my meal here . Also such friendly and kind employees ! I got a gyro wrap regular size and it was more than enough with a side of fries. The sauce they put on it (medium ) was so delicious but a little bit more spicy than I anticipated. The fries were one of the best fries I have ever had. I will definitely be back here next time I am in town. Thank you !“

“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!“

“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.“

“This was fantastic! Very good! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I visited this place yesterday and tried their falafel sandwich — it was so delicious that I came back again today with my friend! This time we ordered both the falafel and the shawarma, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and truly amazing.

I also want to thank the gentleman working there for being so kind and friendly. His warm attitude made the experience even better. And a big thank you to the young guy working with him as well — they both welcomed us with such positive energy and made us feel at home.

If you want great food and great service, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended! 💛🌯✨“

“We had late lunch and got shawarma rice bowl, a generous serving of shawarma (beef and chicken), rice, and fresh variety of veggies with flavourful sauces! The price is perfect to decent healthy hearty meal. The service is quick and very respectful. Around 2pm on a Thursday, the dining area is quiet, clean and there are only few people, so it is best place to unwind.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I always come to Shawarma West because their chicken shawarma on fries tastes amazing! The food portions are generous, and everything is fresh and delicious. The staff are very welcoming, especially Aman — She always serves with a great attitude and friendly smile. Highly recommend this place if you want tasty food and great service!“

“Warm and inviting hospitality, excellent food, both delicious and generous. A wonderful addition to the Queen Street Beaches strip.“

“So pleased with our dining experience Constantine Toronto. The Restaurant manager Rudra went out of her way to ensure we had an amazing dining experience. Stephen and Emma who served us for dinner and brunch were professional and fun all at the same time. The chefs are truly talented and it showed throughout the flavours of our meal choices. Cocktails from David and Ashley in the cocktail bar were also elevated and unique. I would highly recommend this Restaurant and look forward to our return Micheal and Shawn Cheers“

“We had never been before and chose the restaurant because we were seeing a play at the Canadian Stage on Berkeley street. The food was amazing. We had the Lebanese taco (falafel), Reyna salad, lamb baklava and cauliflower croquet … wow was delicious. Saffron baklava for dessert. Small plates so you can try a few things to share even with two people. A must try, we will be back“

“Magnificent venue, excellent food and wonderful staff“

“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!!!!!“

“Ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and a chicken plate with a pop — came out to about $30. Plate is a solid portion, rice, salad, and sauce, honestly amazing value for the size. Chicken was well-seasoned and not dry which is all I ask. Wrap was good too but the plate is the move.

Takeout was ready in like 5 minutes. Staff were friendly. Would recommend!“

“Had a wonderful night celebrating my daughter’s birthday! Food was excellent! Our server, Joanna was very pleasant pleasant and helpful. The staff brought a cake for my daughter and made the occasion a memorable one! Highly recommend this place.“

“What an amazing meal!!!

I walked into Amato Gyro and was instantly loving it. Super clean, a few cute tables & chairs to eat at, then I saw the gorgeous presentation of food in their display. A plethora of perfect looking samosas, in every variety. Delicious, juicy-looking quarter-chickens. Fresh marinated fish filets. A bunch of other yummy dishes. Rows of fresh baklava.

I ordered a $9.99 Chicken Shawarma surprise bag. It wasn’t until I arrived that Jumman began preparing my food, so I knew it was freshly made. He placed the chicken on the grill with some onions & green cabbage/bean sprouts mix. After that, Jumman filled my to-go-box with a huge portion of saffron rice. Then he offered me all the fixings - lettuce, tomatoes, grilled pink cabbage, tabbouleh, raw onions, pickled turnips, cornichon pickles, hummus, tahini, hot sauce and garlic sauce.

Somewhere in between, the chicken shawarma mix was added to the bed of rice…

The final result was, bar none, the best tasting chicken shawarma I’ve EVER HAD!!!“

“Super delicious flavours!“

“In my opinion, the best shawarma place I’ve ever had. Food is delicious, fresh and is made in front of you. The owner and his workers are really nice and the hospitality is really there. Very convenient too as it is next to my school. Would recommend everyone to try as well as it tastes great and the price is right“

“You’re going to love the entire menu.

For lunch, I’m extremely partial to the Greek salad with chicken. It’s healthy and filling at the same time.

For breakfast… You gotta try the steak and eggs.

Staff are friendly, and I always feel like family when I’m here.“

“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“

“Great food and service“

“Best shawarma in Toronto!“

“We had a recent event at Petros82! The service was amazing along with their delicious food! We will definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend this restaurant for your corporate events!“

“Great place w great staff!!“

“Came across this place during a cold winter night after a long walk and was immediately greeted with such warmth by the two brothers! Their hospitality and service was top notch and their shawarma was definitely something to die for - everything tasted super fresh and was made with so much care. They really do not cheap out on fresh ingredients and it’s places like these that deserve a lot of love! They are generous with their portion sizes and the food is so comforting, they don’t disappoint! We will definitely be back!“
