“Amazing food. Shawarama is a must try. The taste is authentic to Arabic Shawarama. Amazing stuff and service. Even the store was really busy on National Shawarama day. They delivered great service. They should open more branches in Durham region.“

“Best food…love the shawarma and the falafel ❤️ portions are large and the price is great!“

“I have been a loyal customer of The Kabab Shoppe across GTA locations, and it remains one of my absolute favorite spots to dine.

The Tandoori Chicken Bowl paired with rice, fries, or salad is ridiculously delicious—easily some of the best food around. Having eaten here countless times, I can always count on top-notch quality and fresh ingredients, and the restaurant consistently maintains an exceptionally clean and hygienic environment, which gives me complete peace of mind whenever I order.

If you are looking for dishes to try, the Butter Chicken, Shish Kababs, and Samosas are all incredible and well worth ordering. On top of the food quality, having late-night hours until 3 AM makes it an unbelievably convenient go-to spot. Highly recommended!“

“I went for dinner at Laymoon Ajax location. Excellent service, delicious food, beautiful ambiance …“

“Big Bites is a small but mighty place. The first time I had their shawarma I fell in love. Every bite I took I exclaimed with joy. 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! (Also I have never left a review before anywhere but I just had to tell the world how amazing Big Bites is)“

“Stumbled in this place and glad I did. It was the juiciest ans tender skewers. We got a mix of the skewers from the Koobideh, chicken and Barg skewers. The Barg is thr best followed by the koobideh and chicken.

Something to get is the Mast-o-Khiar, it's a great add to eat with the rice and the Pita bread.

Can't wait to come back again! The food was soo good, we didn't get to take pictures cause we devoured it so fast.“

“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!“

“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 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“

“Great atmosphere and fantastic service“

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

“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“
