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!“

“It's a nice place with friendly and warm people. The service is quick and I also had a chance to go there yesterday for National Shawarma day and got a chicken wrap for 5 Cad. They were well prepared with additional staff and the wait time was not too long. 😊✨️“

“The best of the best, attention from Diez, food with great flavor and if the seasoning is not so good, the attention of the managers makes you forget that but highly recommended for those of us who like shawarma. Continue like this, we have always gone with pleasure to enjoy those dishes that they offer there.“

“"Osmow's on Rogers Road delivers delightful flavors in every bite, with their succulent shawarma and perfectly seasoned sides. A must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine in the area."

Parking: Good“

“This place is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!. Food taste and presentation is just off the charts. Definitely worth the trip. I would give 10 stars if I could.“

“Olive Kebab truly impressed me. The restaurant was immaculately clean, something that honestly feels rare to find in Toronto these days. You can immediately tell they take pride in their space and standards.

I ordered the Feta Steak, and it was packed to the brim with delicious toppings. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh and crisp vegetables, perfectly cooked steak, and generous feta. You definitely won’t find wilted or questionable ingredients here.

On top of that, the service was professional and welcoming. Overall, a fantastic experience. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“Delicious meal, falafel& Shawarma“

“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.“

“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 😁👍🏼“

“Absolutely loved the chef’s menu option - so many delicious signature dishes to try. We started with a selection of dips and yummy bread with zaatar spice. Then delicious salad with persimmon, unbelievable tuna tartar in lettuce wraps, beet salad that was to die for. And finally - branzino grilled to perfection and a rack of lamb. We finished off with an incredible pistachio desert that was not too sweet and just the perfect end to a beautiful meal. The drink recommendations were excellent too. Healthy, beautifully-presented meal and the quantity was generous for $100/pp. Wonderful service and atmosphere! Highly recommend.“

“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“

“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“

“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 !“

“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.“

“Great vibe. Food & drinks are wonderful“

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

“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.“

“Super delicious flavours!“

“Halim & Mamun have to be the most helpful individuals. I placed a catering order for a corporate meeting on behalf of my work place and they helped ensure it was a seamless process. From the time I placed it online, they discussed with me over the phone and even offered to track the uber courier for pick up. They loaded the vehicle and managed to get all orders right despite the substitutions, everything was labelled perfectly and the food was fresh!! Truly so thankful for them. Will definitely be ordering from here more often.“

“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!“

“האוכל טרי וטעים המנות גדולות השרות אדיב ויעיל המקום נקי ומזמין The food is fresh and delicious The portions are large The service is courteous and efficient The place is clean and inviting“

“Samira at Pita Lite made my shawarma sandwich perfectly — honestly one of the best I’ve had. Her customer service is amazing, super friendly, and welcoming. I highly recommend this place, and if you get the chance, definitely order from Samira — her kind smile makes the experience even better.“

“awesome 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.“

“Excelente lugar y cálido ambiente“

“New owners. Old place was bad! But I find it’s a great lil spot now! Great guys! Although the young kid could learn to be a lil more customer friendly,seems to be in a mood all the time. But the other two gents are great! English not great but they try to understand!
Always met while waiting with a small complimentary cup of lentil soup! Nice touch!
Food is delicious and fresh for fast food takeout!
Also if you’re down on your luck! They will feed you for free! What an awesome thing for a small business to offer! ❤️👍🏻“

“I had a wonderful experience at Tahini Restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the excellent service by Dhairya. 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.“

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.
