“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“

“Amazing night service at Black Pot!! My partner and I had a fantastic dining experience. We shared three delicious meals: cheese burgers, cheese rolls, and another dish called Toshka. The cheeseburger I had was perfection - juicy patty, melted cheese, and fresh flavors. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and great value. Highly recommend! Thank you, Black Pot, for a wonderful night out!"“

“I recently dined at a fantastic restaurant where I enjoyed an amazing meat platter, which included Adana kebab, chicken and beef kebabs, and chicken and beef shawarma. The Adana kebab was particularly juicy, and the chicken shawarma had a unique flavor that I hadn’t encountered before—it was truly delightful. The shish kebabs were tender, and the beef shawarma was also well-prepared. The meal was so delicious, I couldn't resist having seconds!

The service was exceptional. Both the owner and his employee were attentive, friendly, and made the dining experience pleasant and engaging. The decor added to the charm of the place with its minimalistic Kurdish-themed elements, including historical site photos, traditional dinnerware, kilim bags, and tablecloths. The background Kurdish music performances on TV further enhanced the atmosphere. I also appreciated the Amedspor scarf proudly displayed, reflecting the owner's love for his hometown and the capital of Kurdistan. Overall, it was a memorable meal and a warm, welcoming experience!“

The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, a great match for the wrap.

“(2024) This place is always offer great deals everyday. My husband and I haven’t been there for a while because they have renovated inside the restaurant. I’m so surprised that they have special deals at this location, which are…
-Tuesday Special: Falafel wraps x 2 for $8.49
-Everyday chicken plate or fish plate $9.99 each
-Student Special: a wrap + a pop $10.50

The store manager and staff always welcome and chat with customers. It’s such a nice and homey atmosphere.

Ali Baba has special menus for each day of the week, but there are even more special menus that are exclusive to this store. Tuesday's falafel wrap (chickpea croquette wrap), chicken or fish plate, student wrap + juice set (see above)
The store has been renovated and is quite clean. The manager and staff are friendly and the store has a nice atmosphere. According to the manager, they have Deals so that anyone can eat something delicious for about $10 every day 🥺If you can't decide where to eat at Bloor, come here!

(2021) Tuesday special Falafel wrap(2wraps $7.99) is my favorite! Both the tray with vegetables and the store are clean and safe. Don't forget to show proof of vaccination when eating or drinking inside the restaurant. You can also express your wishes such as no ○○ or extra ○○, as in subway.

(2020) The man, who has been working there for over two years, is friendly and made a delicious wraps for us. Thank you!

“One of the best Arabic food I've ever had in Toronto. I eat there 5 times a week and have lost 15 pounds just by eating their delicious Tabbouleh and healthy chicken, friendly staff and amazing owner.This eatery should be number 1 on TripAdvisor.P.S The garlic is too die for.“

“Came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch with 5 other people. The restaurant was quiet and we were served very quickly. I ordered the veggie platter and it came with falafel, garlic sauce and potatoes. I know other locations have more veggies like roasted vegetables, but the platter was very tasty and good value. It came with rice as well. I aso got the mango passion fruit juice and I highly recommend!“

The highlight of my visit was the service of Manjindar, was incredibly polite and attentive, making the experience even better. Definitely a place I’d recommend and revisit“

“More of an eatery vibe , the variety app plate is highly recommended and the Muhammara is just to die for!

The Kefta was a bit too gamey so if that's not your thing... The pulled chicken was lose although very generous amount and super healthy cooking so ... Depends

The shesh tavuk is probably the chicken winner!

Would come back for casual healthy lunches for sure“

“Owner was incredibly friendly, and the food is incredible. He asked where we parked as it was close to when street parking cut off and the signage wasn't clear where we were. He saved us from getting a parking ticket by taking an interest in his customers, asking where we parked and warning us about the time. Sure enough they were out waiting to ticket people at the exact time of the change over!“

Highly recommend their service to anyone visiting Tahini!"“
