The portion was generous, the chicken was perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy. The combination of rice and salad complemented the flavors beautifully. The service was excellent, with friendly and efficient staff who made sure my meal was prepared just right. Highly recommend this location for a delicious and satisfying meal!“

“We recently hosted a 60 guests private party for my son’s engagement and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Event coordinator Nicole and the entire serving staff were wonderful….professional, attentive and very accommodating. Our guests raved about the restaurant’s atmosphere, food and service. I would recommend Lume to anyone, as we we’ve never been disappointed, whether for a dinner night out, or now a special occasion.“

“Delicious meal, falafel& Shawarma“

“As a Chinese I never try Middle East food before, so today I choose here and it really surprised me. The desert (I dunno the name , that triangle one) is really sweet and tasty, it have some chopped nuts inside too. And the beef salad is tasty too, u can also add topping inside and choose the sauce U prefer. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome service! Great food 😁👍🏼“

“I got take out last night, rushing to eat before work (salad and chicken shawarma sandwich). It tasted odd... shortly after,, I called the location to tell them, something was off with the ingredients. I wasn't sure of it was the onions, turnips etc. something was left out too long perhaps... and today I am sick as a dog. I've eaten here before. I think they need better quality control on the food... especially being safely stored.. perhaps temperatures..etc“

“Couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate our Anniversary! From the smile of the hostess to each and every dish, you could feel the love and care that was put into such creative and well done food. Service was kind and attentive. We even had our first ever Armenian wine! We will be back!“

“Super drustvo I super hrana !“

“This is my all-time favourite restaurant. It’s a bit of a hidden gem, so don’t let the unassuming location fool you. The food is exceptionally high quality, healthy, and rich in flavour — truly the best I’ve had in the GTA. We do tend to spend a lot when we go, but the quality consistently matches the price.“

“Very good food service is great very nice and clean place i would recommend it“

“Great food! Great chef! Great little spot to eat. I left happy and satisfied. I will be back....maybe tomorrow.“

“The food is fresh, tastes great, and I would definitely say one of the better tasting shawarma plates around. Would definitely recommend, I've been here a few times for several types of dishes and I would say the Biryani Chicken Plate and Chicken Shawarma is amazing.“

“LOVED my meal here . Also such friendly and kind employees ! I got a gyro wrap regular size and it was more than enough with a side of fries. The sauce they put on it (medium ) was so delicious but a little bit more spicy than I anticipated. The fries were one of the best fries I have ever had. I will definitely be back here next time I am in town. Thank you !“

“We went there on Halloween night with a big group of 16 people, and honestly, I was so impressed! Even though the restaurant was super busy, the staff were incredibly organized and friendly. They served our food really fast, and everything was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was fun and festive, and we all had a great time. Definitely recommend this place — they really know how to handle a crowd with a smile!“

“This was fantastic! Very good! Highly recommend!“

“Great vibe. Food & drinks are wonderful“

“Always amazing service at this Osmow’s location. Jeano, the manager, is one of the friendliest and hardest-working people I’ve seen in food service. Every time I come in, he makes sure the food is fresh, well-seasoned, and made exactly how I like it. You can tell he takes pride in what he does—super respectful, patient, and the kind of person who makes customers want to come back.
I also want to highlight Berj, who’s always welcoming behind the counter and keeps the place running smoothly. Both of them create a great atmosphere.
Food is consistently on point, portions are generous, and the service is genuinely amazing. Easily one of the best Osmow’s locations I’ve been to.“

“We had a wonderful birthday celebration at Aviv tonight! The friendly, attentive, welcoming staff and owner helped to make it a special evening. The food was fresh and delicious, and the birthday dessert was decadent. We loved the back patio, and felt comfortable and unrushed. Thank you, Aviv! We will be back.“

“I was a single diner but unfortunately there was a 20-30 minute wait at the door due to the restaurant being fully booked. However, I noticed bar seats and decided to dine at the bar. Shamin greeted me with no hesitation and quickly took my appetizer order which to my surprise came out very fast. The portions are on the larger scale, can definitely be sharing plates. I also ordered the lamb chop dish with basmati rice and apparently received more than what was expected of the plate. Overall I had a great dining experience the food is excellent, high quality, fresh ingredients and extremely tasty. Thank you Shamin for your stellar service!“

“Fantastic fresh food. Friendly and fast service. Price well worth what you get. Highly recommend. My new go to for Greek cuisine. Step in say hello and grab a plate. They make their own dressing and tzatziki that is authentically delicious. Thank you so much for the experience.“

“What a delightfully unique spot! When you first walk in, the layout and decor might catch you off guard — a little quirky, a little unexpected — but that’s part of the charm. There are a few cozy tables up front, and more tucked away past the grill in the back.

We stopped in for breakfast and were absolutely delighted. Nothing over the top, just a classic, comforting plate of sausage and eggs, prepared with real care. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the fresh fruit on the side was a lovely touch.

The couple who run the place are warm and welcoming, and it’s clear they put their heart into everything they do. One of my favourite details? They have actual newspapers on hand, just like a proper old-school diner. A real gem of a place — can’t wait to return.“

“Very happy with the food and service. Good job guys keep up“

He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. His professionalism and warm attitude truly enhanced our dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“Last time, I ordered a chicken and rice bowl here, and it was honestly the best chicken bowl I’ve had in Etobicoke. The two employees, Nitish and Rupali, were extremely friendly, and the customer service was excellent. I will definitely be coming back again.“

“Absolutely phenomenal shawarma! The meat was perfectly seasoned and juicy, wrapped in a warm, fresh pita with just the right balance of crispy veggies and creamy garlic sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor. The staff were friendly and quick, and the place was spotless. Whether you're grabbing lunch or a late-night bite, this spot delivers every time. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic, mouthwatering shawarma!“

“I had tried Saj Wraps in boustan,Montreal before, so I was on the lookout for something similar in Toronto. My friend Katie and I stopped by last Thursday night, and it was a great find.

There was only one person working—Sawn—and he truly impressed us. Super friendly, humble, and fast. He recommended the Zaatar with chicken, falafel wraps, and the sujuk pide. We ordered all three, and they were fresh, packed with flavour, and absolutely delicious.Despite handling multiple orders alone, Sawn had our food ready in just 12–15 minutes. His positive attitude and speed really stood out.The place has a cozy vibe, great service, and amazing food. It’s a true hidden gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back with more friends soon!“

It is the best food, service very nice and friendly.
The plate was created so beautifully and all the ingredients fresh, tasty and healthy.
The best place to dine in just give it a try“

“I visited this place yesterday and tried their falafel sandwich — it was so delicious that I came back again today with my friend! This time we ordered both the falafel and the shawarma, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and truly amazing.

I also want to thank the gentleman working there for being so kind and friendly. His warm attitude made the experience even better. And a big thank you to the young guy working with him as well — they both welcomed us with such positive energy and made us feel at home.

If you want great food and great service, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended! 💛🌯✨“
