It looks like this place has closed down. It started out great with fair prices, fresh food, and kind staff. Over time the quality went down, prices went up, portions got smaller, and the meat became dry from being reheated instead of carved fresh. With so many better options nearby, I’m not surprised they closed.

Working across the street, went in on a whim thinking it might be a good spot. I got a falafel wrap because the chicken looked raw and red. The donair was pink and spinning while the element to cook it wasn't even on. I have a feeling the falafel was multiple days old because it was disgusting. 10/10 wouldn't go back. Employee also wore the same gloves to do everything from prepping to deep frying while also touching the veggies this those gloves. Turnips seemed fresh.

I have never walked into a shawarma place where they literally give you half the chicken or cow in a wrap!!

Getting my drift...One can not go wrong with ordering a chicken or beef shawarma, deliciously good and meat bursting off the seams!! Then they perfectly toast it for you and make the outside crispy yummmm!

I am glad i walked in and tried both for lunch!!

I was probably the first customer of the day for them. The bread was stale and while the sauces covered the taste, I wasn’t impressed. Won’t go here again.

Ordered on Uber eats. I avoid leaving bad reviews because it could be a bad day and I don't want to harm small businesses.,However, selling food that has gone bad is a different story.
The rice was bad like smelly bad.
Falafel tasted so bad (not spoiled ) probably the oil, I can't believe someone would make a recipe like that.
The hummus was impossible to eat pure salt and lime I guess, sorry for the mental image but I had to spit it out.
If your business is making food why on earth would you make something so terrible and expect to keep your doors open?
Garlic potatoes were oily but ok. (That was my dinner) with the poor tabule.
I bought 2 cookies and received a piece of cake instead. Make your self and pocket a favour, stay away from this place.

After seconds of meticulous consideration my colleague and i decided on ordering the chicken schawarma poutine. Upon placing our order, the shopkeep asked us if it was our intention to have chicken schawarma AND french fries in a poutine style. Now, my compatriot and I are not Canadian, nor are we chefs of middle eastern cuisine. Neither have either of us been far within the bounds of the former Ottoman empire. As such, we have only a cursory knowledge of what chicken schawarma poutine would entail. Thus, our retort "you tell us, good sir". Yet, he again queried us, kindly insisting that we confirm our order. We responded in the affirmative.

Our trust in this fair gent was fulfilled. We were rewarded with a delicious dish, lovingly packaged in a plastic to-go container. We were given both a fork AND a spoon. Perhaps you think it is not traditional to eat french fries with a spoon. You would be correct, and with good reason, for this tool was useless. Yet, our enjoyment of this east-meets-west fusion dish was not impaired. Delicious.
