The restaurant itself was spotless, including the washrooms, which says a lot about how much pride they take in their business. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions you receive.

I am not lying or being dramatic when I tell you THIS IS THE BEST SHAWARMA I'VE EVER HAD! The falafel is made in house and it's the best falafel I've ever had! The toppings are fresh and delicious, the rice is beautiful. The workers are very kind and sweet! I know when I eat from here again it will be a beyond amazing experience again. 10/10 Would highly recommend!

“My visit to Crown Pita was made exceptional because of Abdul. While the food was absolutely delicious, it was Abdul’s hospitality and dedication to customer service that truly stood out and made the experience memorable.

From the moment I walked in, Abdul greeted me warmly and made me feel welcome. He took the time to ensure that my order was prepared perfectly and checked that everything met the restaurant’s quality standards. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about a customer’s experience, but Abdul clearly takes pride in what he does.

I ordered the chicken shawarma with rice and salad, along with a pita shawarma wrap and falafel wrap. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The salad was especially impressive, packed with fresh ingredients and a great variety of vegetables. However, what made the meal even better was Abdul’s attention to detail and commitment to making sure customers leave satisfied.

His positive attitude, professionalism, and genuine kindness create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Employees like Abdul are a huge asset to any restaurant because they make customers feel valued and appreciated.

Because of Abdul’s outstanding hospitality and excellent service, I will gladly return to Crown Pita again and again. Thank you, Abdul, for making this visit such a great experience!“

“One of the best shawarma places in the gta. Good quantity in plates and shawarma. Whatever modifications you ask for in your food they will perfect it. The server was a very nice man named Mamoun who give me the best service possible. 100% recommend if you’re ever craving shawarma and need a spot!“

“Good spot for lunch, online ordering is fast and ready when we arrive. Consider giving an option for online ordering to put dining in so we don't have to waste the take away bag that the food is packaged in. Would be nice if extra veggies didn't cost 99cents“

“The chicken shawarma was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right—juicy on the inside with a nice crisp on the outside. The garlic sauce and toppings really brought everything together.
The staff were friendly and efficient, even during a busy time, and my order was ready quickly. The place itself was clean and well-maintained, which always makes a difference.“

“Good food 🥘 and I would come back with family again.“

“Great atmosphere and fantastic service“

“The girl serving food has no standard. I was coming from work, not dressed suit and tie. She served me half the meat which I normally get. Its true some nationalities judge people by their looks and change their standards.“

“Best shawarma in town. Friendly staff. Neat and clean place amazing customers service. Highly recommend“
