The entrance boasts a fantastic flat automatic roll-in, ensuring easy accessibility. The ample space allows for a comfortable wheelchair turning radius. What's more, the location features a convenient Tim Horton Coffee Stand inside. Inside, a vast selection of hot and cold food, along with prepared meals, awaits. Fresh fruit options add a refreshing touch, and noteworthy is the inclusion of halal choices among the hot entrees. With a predominant selection of Canadian brands and a curated collection of American choices, the variety is both impressive and diverse. Practicality extends to payment options, as they accept both Canadian dollars and major credit cards. The icing on the cake is their 24-hour operation in a user-friendly setting, making this spot a reliable and accessible choice for any time of day.

If there was possibility of giving Zero I would have given that , utterly horrible food equally horrible was the service and hospitality of the staff to the Manager . Never ever going to step in that place. And suggest the same for everyone.

A convenient, well located downtown small market serving a variety of fresh and prepared foods in addition to fruits and vegetables. Prices very cheap for the area and a great convenience for a grab and go meal.

Yesterday while walking around the city I stopped in to see what they had as far as snacks and something to take back to Hilton for a quick dinner bite later. They had a huge selection of foods, goods and other sundries. I ended up getting a muffin, lentil soup and a cheese, grapes and crackers tray to go. All of the food was fresh and tasteful. They gave some type of chips with the soup which I never had but they were flavorful too. The best was the lentil soup. I don't know if they make it onsite but it was some of the best I have had. Thanks to the courteous staff who also tried to assist me with my phone difficulties too!! I would definitely go there again.

This location sucks. Everything is always expired. Bought a sprite today that was expired and red bull that has expired in 2021. The store is stinky and dirty. Go anywhere else.

Shoutout to the lean, bearded guy whose name starts with an "N"... You're always guaranteed an excellent, carefully prepared shawarma whenever he's on shift. This place can be hit or miss, but this particular guy is hardworking, respectful and has a great attitude

We walked in and the place seemed a little run down but appeared functional. While we were in there a man was walking around and pointed at the ceiling saying a bunch of weird but really cool things. The selection was okay but for a 24hr little place, it was as expected. It did feel like purgatory for a while due to the door's *ding ding* welcome charm anytime the doors opened from pedestrians walking by. My friend was unable to find the Gatorade with the nipple. My other friend got Nesquik cereal which was the definition of a lie because it was just coco puffs. So disappointed. The Pringles were yummy and the prosciutto was suspicious.

Stopped in last night at Queen Quay location looking for something to eat. All other spots were either closed or had crazy lines. Had been to Ikea so I had a blue bag over my shoulder plus my crossbody purse. Found Rabba's prices a bit pricy for what you get but ended up grabbing a bag of gummies- unfortunately no price shown. Waited while customers ahead (not people of colour) with shopping bags and backpacks checked out without issue. My turn. Asked for a price check and it was a pricey bag of gummies. Decided to pass. I left the gummies on the counter with the cashier. On my way out I was stopped by someone wanted to check my bag.?. I asked why..Reply "because its my store and I need to check your bags" Asked if he thought I stole something. Reply.."No, but I want to check your bags". I refused and ask him if he was crazy and had lost his mind. You don't think I stole something but you want to violate my right by checking my bags??!!. In addition several white people with backpack and other bags left your store without a peep from you. Now here I come, a black woman and he want to profile me. Hell no!!!. Wrong person. I repeated my refusal and told him to move out of my way. Interestingly enough he moved immediately and I was on my way. At least physically. Emotionally...I'm pissed!! How many times has he done this to others? How many times has he violated someone's rights? Be aware of this store and their racist ways. I will NEVER step foot in another Rabba !!. I work to hard for my money to spend it in a store that thinks its ok to racially profile me. Support only those that support you and treat you as an equal!!!!

Rabba just opened a Paramount food counter within their store. I've eaten at the old rabba food counter many times over the years and it's always been good. I have to say that Paramount took it to another level. I just had their chicken shawarma wrap and I have to say it's one of the best I've ever had!

I had the falafel and fattoush salad. Both were great, the falafel was especially tasty! The gentleman who served me was also very gracious and accommodating. A great addition to the area.

Tonight I purchased some items at the York/Queens Quay Branch. Among other items, I bought an activia yogurt drink. I didn't notice that it expired May 28 (a month ago) until I took a taste. It was completely spoiled and I threw it away in the garbage outside. The Rabba employee happened to step outside at that moment and I suggested that he check the other drinks for their expiry dates. His response was astonishing and insulting. I had no intention of asking for a refund ... for such a small amount I couldn't be bothered. Instead of asking that simple question however, he replied "IT'S JUST A DATE." I said that may be so but it was spoiled and tasted terrible. He insisted that it was just a date. Then he turned to saying "It won't kill you." Still no sense of customer service or regret. Finally he said: "Do you want another." I politely declined, just wanting to get on my way. His response: "You're fat: you don't need it anyway." I have shopped at Rabbas for about 25 years, generally with good service. I hope management looks into this matter as it is not only exceptional but egregiously so. PS The customer feedback forms insists on AN AMERICAN ZIP CODE. Doesn't inspire confidence Rabba management cares.

Great shop to get the toiletries you forgot to pack, or some food and water for your room. Prices are reasonable. The prepared food is tasty and good quality. The store is clean and they follow COVID-19 rules
