50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Toronto

“Amazing food! Will be back!“

“Great vibe. Food & drinks are wonderful“

“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“

“"Osmow's on Rogers Road delivers delightful flavors in every bite, with their succulent shawarma and perfectly seasoned sides. A must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine in the area."

Parking: Good“

“My roommate and I just picked up Take-out for Family day. I just want to extend my sincere apologies and support to the Lady and Gentleman on shift this evening.While we were waiting for our food, an extremely verbally abusive person made his way inside and to the front counter. He multiple times insulted the Lady, calling her names, threatening the staff over chicken..They were in the middle of cooking fresh chicken and this individual wasn’t having it.The way that both staff members handled the situation was amazing.I personally wouldn’t have been able to keep my cool. Y'all are awesome.I’m sorry I didn’t say anything in defence.I was genuinely worried about getting punched in the face over chicken and fries.“

“I met Delina today and her food is amazing. There were three of us and we were all impressed. I highly recommend the cabbage roll that doesn’t have too much cabbage wrapped around it and it has a tone of filling. It was super tasty and I especially liked the tangy sauce. Then we enjoyed the super fresh and crispy falafels followed by a dolma and two different types of samosas. Perfect for sharing since everything is a good size. Delina is super friendly. Next time I’ll try some of the other dishes.“

“Delicious meal, falafel& Shawarma“

“We had a wonderful experience at Mirage. The decor and ambiance was traditional yet modern with near east vibes. The service was great with a personal visit from the owner. The food was deliciously flavored and beautiful to look at too. We will definitely return and likely with friends! Thank you!“

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

“The Bowls were amazing!!! They had the right amount of protein to spice/sauce ratio. The server was super friendly and when you hesitated would offer suggestions and his personal recommendations.

- not allot of seating and the shawarma came out of a cabinet ( didn’t know how to feel about that )“

“The food is inventive and creative with modern interpretations of Armenian food. Mostly, it is all simply delectable - every bite in every dish is delicious. The service is lovely. Friendly but not imposing. Truly, one of our favorite spots in Toronto.“

“Ordered the zaatar bread saj wrap and was really impressed with how delicious the bread itself was, as well as the rest of the ingredients. Very good value for the low price point.

My partner had a similar experience with her cheese pide - the dough was unfathomably good.“

“Delicious food, faster service“

“Very friendly, pleasant and cosy atmosphere. Delicious food. All the staff is helpful and attentive. Thank you for the great evening!“

“Absolutely amazing, great food, wonderful staff, good portions. I look forward to visiting each time“

“Overall the food was good for a budget friendly shawarma meal in the city. I had the shawarma rice (chicken), and the chicken was succulent, fresh rice and maybe do ask for more sauce if you need. The veggies were fresh too.

Overall it was worth it if you need to pick up something quick and need a filling meal.“

“Very special place. We ordered medium blueberry chicken wrap and large jerk chicken wrap with falafel. Especially delicious. Babies who like to eat shawarma come and eat it. The chicken is very tender and well seasoned. The pancake is also a highlight. The pancake is better than falafel. The falafel is a bit greasy, but very crispy.“

“What an amazing spot! Excellent and authentic Mediterranean food, friendly staff, and beautiful ambiance. This is a hidden gem in Leslieville. Go hungry become the portions are very generous!“

“In July I made a trip to Toronto to visit an old friend. I researched to find a new falafel experience. I chose College Falafel. It's important to note, College Falafel also offers the famous Halifax donair. It DID NOT disappoint. Matter of fact, my expectations were exceeded. I was greeted by the wonderful Falafel lady Oljana, and her husband Bardhyl. A fantastic Albanian couple. My friend John has lived in Toronto 30 plus years and has scoured the GTA in search of replicating the Halifax donair. You see, in the 80's, John played for Halifax King of Donair soccer club. King of Donair being the OG purveyors of the Halifax donair. As a club member John enjoyed the perk of feasting on many a donair. On July 3 we found the Mecca / the Holy Grail of donairs in Toronto. John said in particular, the sweet sauce took him 30 plus years back to Halifax. The meat was succulent and tasty. Oljana graciously allowed me to give her very specific instructions on how to build our donairs with all the fixings. The donairs were like manna from heaven, a culinary delight. Oh. By the way, the falafels were incredible. Wonderfully flavored, not overcooked as sometimes they are and nicely rounded. Not flattened like hockey pucks as I've sometimes gotten. In conclusion, for those in search, search NO MORE. If you want the best falafel and donair in the GTA head to COLLEGE FALAFEL. Best wishes, much future success, Oljana and Bardhyl. GO ALBANIA 2026 World Cup. Cheers all. Todd Williams from Grande Prairie, AB.“

“Excelente lugar y cálido ambiente“

“Fantastic people who care about the food they prepare and serve. The final products are absolutely delicious.“

“From the first bite to the last, the shawarma at this shop is an explosion of flavors! The tender meat, perfectly seasoned and wrapped in warm, fluffy bread, creates a culinary experience that keeps me coming back for more. Plus, the friendly staff adds a welcoming touch to every visit. A must-try for shawarma lovers!“

“Tasty shawarma, good meat and overall good quality. 4 out of 5

UPD as of June 29th. We love your shawarma and it super tasty but we’d appreciate putting an update here that you are temporarily closed, so we are not wasting time getting here. Thanks.“

“Delicious food, excellent friendly service, always with a smile. The food was fresh and flavourful.I like that there’s salad and rice with garlic sauce to go with the chicken. The portions are hefty and generous.This is located at the lower level of the RBC building, at the eatery hall so the atmosphere is as expected, noisy and with food court seating. However, it is clean, new and functional.The 4* for the atmosphere is because it’s a food court as compared to a non-food court atmosphere however, this is not to detract from Sultan’s Grill’s great food and service. That’s why the overall rating is 5* and they deserve it!“

“The halloumi brioche mini sandwich is simply awful. No other way to put it. Overpriced and just not tasty. The halloumi cheese on its own is good, just order that. It doesn’t make any sense in a sandwich with all that hummus and brioche bread, just feels like a big squishy pile of gunk. 5 star review still because their shawarma, bowls, and samosas are absolutely knockout.“

“Picked this spot in Spadina village to meet a friend and was so pleasantly surprised. The decor and ambiance were lovely. The service was impeccable. We had 2 dips, the peach salad and taglieterre with lamb ragu. Delicious!
Highly recommend.“

“I have been here twice. For this past mothers and this past fathers day. We were a table of 9. Every dish that was ordered was spectacular. Who ever that chef is in the back needs a raise. Im not even joking. The quality of food is on point. Quality!!!!!!!! Please keep it up olio, dont cut corners. Maintain that quality. Best restaurant I've been to in a while. No cap“

“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!!!!!“

“very nice and clean place, very cool. The food is soooo good, a bit on the mid side with unexpected tax but still really enjoyable overall. Ordered their habibi bowl ^_^! Sad the ultimate meal box for 2 wasn’t available here though >~<“

“Shwarma wrap was amazing! The basil hummus was the best I’ve ever had. The staff was very friendly and happy to answer questions since I was unfamiliar with the food. You get a lot of food for the price too. We would definitely go back. HIGHLY recommend.“

“Magnificent venue, excellent food and wonderful staff“

“Ordered delivery, first time trying this restaurant and I am happy to say that they did not disappoint ? . Got Shish Tavook platter as well as Chicken Shawarma platter , both were delicious, tasteful and plenty !!! They were kind enough to substitute Fattoush salad for one of the dishes. It’s fairly new at the Queen west location, a definite must try ?“

“"I recently visited this place for the first time as I was craving shawarma. The staff was friendly, which made the experience enjoyable. I deducted one star only because the shawarma didn't meet my expectations. However, I must say, the chicken souvlaki was the best I have ever had! Definitely worth a try!"“

“Great atmosphere, nice seating, fresh and tasty food, big portions, reasonable price, friendly staff, really clean and tidy, and a caring owner. This was the first time trying this place with my wife, and I'm already planning on bringing the whole family here and also recommending it to everyone else I know.“

“Chef Intiaz made us a chicken wrap and pizza. Both were super tasty! My friends and I liked it a lot. The chicken wrap was just right, and the pizza was amazing with lots of yummy toppings.

We all think Chef Intiaz is great at making food. The whole team at the restaurant did a good job. We tell everyone to go there because it’s a good place to eat and have fun.“

“My visit to Zaad for a weekday lunch was a satisfying experience. The student specials advertised outside were a great deal, and the restaurant's spacious seating areas provided a comfortable dining environment. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter with fries and biryani rice, and was surprised by the generous portion size. The tender meat and flavours were delicious. The service was prompt and the staff created a welcoming atmosphere.
The one setback was the few horseflies on the veggie station.

Accessibility: some neighbourhood parking, close to subway station. No automatic door opener, washroom is large and individual. The restaurant is located on ground level. Lots of space to maneuver around. No wifi access.“

“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“

“Visited Shawarma West early in the morning, the manager was very humble and kind enough to serve even before they were open and were in rush
The Beef on fries tasted great
Beef was really well cooked and juicy
Recommend all to visit shawarma west“

“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“

“Baba Ganoush in Mevame is a must stop. Their laffa bread is baked on site and it is taste experience to behold. I had the Baba Ganoush and Tzatziki with a side mini pita, mmmm good. Finished with salmon bowl, delicious. Highly recommended. Your taste buds will do the happy dance.“

“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 staff and great pizza to match. The variety of toppings on the menu is just right and they have all the basics to be a cult favorite

Picked up a medium sized Specialty Pizza to-go but was way too hungry to wait until I got home. Long story short, along my 20 minute walk, 6 slices were consumed unapologetically.

The ingredients were fresh. Brownie points for halal meats. Ihtesham, the guy running the show at the store, is an absolute gem. He took some time to chat with me about his story and ambitions for Cosmic. With the stuff theyre serving here, I'm sure this place has a place in Toronto's hall of fame.“

“Outstanding shawarma plate. As someone who’s on the quest to find the best shawarma plate in the GTA (from Whitby to Burlington) after trying around 50 shawarma places, I can confidently say this cracked my top 5. Cost was $25 for a large mixed plate, drink and fries but definitely worth it!!

Owners are really nice and truly remember you. Great place to eat in the city!“

“Truly a 5 star experience all around. My friend and I tried nearly every single tea blend (iced) and enjoyed them all! If you stay more than an hour you pay $6 an hour and get as much tea as you want, so we were able to try a large amount of options (at least 4 pots each) on a blistering summer evening for only $12 each. Food was good too.

Most impressively, there were two events happening while we were there but the service was still quick and considerate. You have to at least give this place a try if you even kind of like tea and chill vibes.

Vegetarian options: Hummus and pita chips.“

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

“Excellent service and great foods“

“Good Shawarma Sandwiches & Plates.Remember there is a regular sandwich & a super. So, order accordingly as food & price are different.This is located in underground food court in PATH. Right besides the entrance to ttc King station.Long line on weekdays during lunch hour. Decide your order quick as the guy is going to shout out to you while you are 10th in line. No pressure ;)

Parking: Located in downtown. You should be walking here.“

“good deal on National Shawarma Day“
