“Delicious meal, falafel& Shawarma“

“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.“

“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“

“Excellent customer service and very clean restaurant. Very limited seating but the food was fresh and delicious. I had the chicken plate with different veggies and it was exceptional. Food is plenty and very tasty. Highly recommended spot and will be going back. The food is kosher as well.“

“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 !“

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

“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.“

“Halim & Mamun have to be the most helpful individuals. I placed a catering order for a corporate meeting on behalf of my work place and they helped ensure it was a seamless process. From the time I placed it online, they discussed with me over the phone and even offered to track the uber courier for pick up. They loaded the vehicle and managed to get all orders right despite the substitutions, everything was labelled perfectly and the food was fresh!! Truly so thankful for them. Will definitely be ordering from here more often.“

“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.“

“Great vibe. Food & drinks are wonderful“

“Excelente lugar y cálido ambiente“

“Actually don't get the falafel, I mean it's decent, but the chicken shawarma is actually the best in the neighborhood. The shawarma is beautifully caramelized and has plenty of crispy bits, the curry rice is the perfect comfort accompaniment offering silky smooth potatoes in a tangy curry sauce. Speaking of tangy the sauces are a must, the garlic sauce in particular had a wonder fresh dairy taste that cuts through the spicy (the hot sauce is really good) and perfectly charred grilled chicken. The salad is nicely coated with fresh lemony tangy dressing and the pickles have the right done-ess and texture. Couldn't ask for a better place.“

“New owners. Old place was bad! But I find it’s a great lil spot now! Great guys! Although the young kid could learn to be a lil more customer friendly,seems to be in a mood all the time. But the other two gents are great! English not great but they try to understand!
Always met while waiting with a small complimentary cup of lentil soup! Nice touch!
Food is delicious and fresh for fast food takeout!
Also if you’re down on your luck! They will feed you for free! What an awesome thing for a small business to offer! ❤️👍🏻“

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! 💛🌯✨“

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!“

“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“

“Magnificent venue, excellent food and wonderful staff“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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“

“Super delicious flavours!“

“One of my favourite restaurants in the city. I grew up in the area and even worked here for some time in my youth, and even tho the ownership changes hand occasionally, it's comforting being able to come back even decades later and enjoy the same recipes and flavours, untouched, that originally put this place on the map! Keep up the good work everyone.“

“Best shawarma in Toronto!“

“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“

“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!!“

“Blink and you’ll swear you’re back in Greece. This gyro spot is an absolute must-stop seconds from St Lawrence Market.
Juicy, perfectly seasoned, wrapped in pure happiness… no shortcuts and all the fries.
Do NOT leave without the homemade baklava—it’s dangerously good.“

“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)“

“I’ve been to this tahinis multiple times since opening and it had never disappoint. The food here is consistently filled with flavor but the vegetables sometimes lack freshness. Staff here are super nice and the atmosphere is clean and like an Arabic cuisine. Would recommend!“

“Everytging is good. The ingredients are fresh and the meats are never dry.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and service“
