Middle Eastern Restaurants near York, ON

“The portion size was huge, making it a meal that could easily satisfy two people. The shawarma was piled high with tender meat, while the chickpea salad offered a substantial side that added great texture and flavor. It was an impressive value, completely satisfied.“

“My family and I have been eating here for over 15 years. The food is always fresh and delicious. Let me put it this way. I don't eat my Mother's home made eggplant but it's the first thing I order off the menu. My favorite dish is the hummus with meat. Delicious homemade garlicky hummus with filet mignon and pine nuts in the middle. Yummy!!“

“I went to Ali Baba's for dinner and I ordered a Chicken Platter. The amount of food they gave especially the chicken was incredible. Everything tasted good and I was pleased when they reheated the potatoes on the grill for me. The store environment was clean and nice, (a typical shawarma restaurant) but the would made this particular spot great was the tissue boxes on each of the tables. This was great, especially compared to any other restaurants that will offer 2 small napkins that are almost transparent. Customer service was great, very friendly. I would go back again for sure.

Vegetarian options: Falafel wrap or Falafel plate.“

“I recently visited Osmow's and tried their large Half and Half Chicken Shawarma Box. It was incredibly tasty and wonderfully prepared. 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!“

“Thank You so much for an amazing evening November 09, 2024 at Old Avenue. The food is amazing, The Service is so attentive and quick. The Atmosphere is welcoming and you can feel the love and care from the owner the chef and the serving young people. Defiantly will go again and again to try more interesting things on the menu.“

“Shwarma wrap was amazing! The basil hummus was the best I’ve ever had. The staff was very friendly and happy to answer questions since I was unfamiliar with the food. You get a lot of food for the price too. We would definitely go back. HIGHLY recommend.“

“• Delicious healthy food • Low cost • Great service“

“Unbelievable! You won’t be disappointed“

“Absolutely delicious! The fish was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, while the rice was fragrant, fluffy, and packed with rich flavors. The crispy fried onions and carrots added a wonderful crunch. Generous portion size and great presentation. Highly recommended for seafood and rice lovers!“

“I had an amazing visit to Osmow’s Shawarma! I ordered the wrap box, and Jagmeet, who served me, was incredibly friendly and professional. He made sure the portion was generous, and it tasted absolutely fantastic. The service was quick and efficient, which made the experience even better.

A special thanks to Jagmeet and the entire team for their excellent service. Jagmeet went above and beyond to make sure I was happy, and I truly appreciate it. I’ll definitely be returning!

The food was amazing, and the staff was top-notch. I highly recommend this place to everyone!“

“The dinner at Fat Pasha was outstanding! Both food and service were great - overall vibe was 10/10. If you like good food that's not in a stuffy environment this place is for you! Had the sharing platter, fattoush salad, and halloumi and not a single complaint. Cocktails were also great, and strong ;)“

“Amazing night service at Black Pot!! My partner and I had a fantastic dining experience. We shared three delicious meals: cheese burgers, cheese rolls, and another dish called Toshka. The cheeseburger I had was perfection - juicy patty, melted cheese, and fresh flavors. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and great value. Highly recommend! Thank you, Black Pot, for a wonderful night out!"“

“DELICIOUS !! The food was amazing and fresh ! The owner was very nice and genuine and his employee’s as well . Definitely a must go if you’re looking for authentic comforting Egyptian flavors that remind you of home 🥰“

“The food is amazing I love it“

“Best middle eastern food ever.“

“Hearty portions, relatively quick service, and reasonably priced.

I got the beef shawarma pita box with rice and it's deceptively large. I was pleasantly surprised at how big the portion was and was decently full by the end of the box. Food tastes good and the staff are friendly.“

“I recently dined at a fantastic restaurant where I enjoyed an amazing meat platter, which included Adana kebab, chicken and beef kebabs, and chicken and beef shawarma. The Adana kebab was particularly juicy, and the chicken shawarma had a unique flavor that I hadn’t encountered before—it was truly delightful. The shish kebabs were tender, and the beef shawarma was also well-prepared. The meal was so delicious, I couldn't resist having seconds!

The service was exceptional. Both the owner and his employee were attentive, friendly, and made the dining experience pleasant and engaging. The decor added to the charm of the place with its minimalistic Kurdish-themed elements, including historical site photos, traditional dinnerware, kilim bags, and tablecloths. The background Kurdish music performances on TV further enhanced the atmosphere. I also appreciated the Amedspor scarf proudly displayed, reflecting the owner's love for his hometown and the capital of Kurdistan. Overall, it was a memorable meal and a warm, welcoming experience!“

“Such friendly customer service, fresh ingredients and the multiple flavours of hummus are great! Can even get a container of hummus to take home which I do often. One point is that although the chicken is good, I feel it lacks flavour, the sauces do make up for most of it.“

“Amazing food! Highly recommend it :)“

“Visited Tabule, Riverside location for lunch. Plenty of veg options and the quality is great. Also, portions are normal size. Lots of drinks to choose from. I especially recommend Cinnamon Honey Latte (can be made decaf) or faux-jitos, if in the mood for a cold drink. Our server was Brendan; he knows the stuff he serves, can make recommendations and suggestions. The patio in the back is what you need on a hot afternoon, but lots of room inside as well. The prices are reasonable. If we are in the area again, would definitely go back.“

“Yash and the rest of the crew at Viva Shawarma were absolutely amazing! They were incredibly nice, caring, and helpful, going the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. Their attention to detail and friendly service made the experience so much better. On top of that, the food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were looking for. If you’re looking for a place with great food and even better service, Viva Shawarma is the spot! Huge thanks to Yash and the team for making it such a memorable visit!“

“Attentive service, delicious food, warm and trendy ambiance.“

“recommend place...........“

“I lived in UAE, couple of years and the shawarma was the best I believed.
When I moved to Canada I never had a same taste of Shawarma. But the taste was from Fantastic was awesome. They have variety of sauces and filling. More over direct cutting from oven ... that makes different from other shawarma shops..“

“El Greeko is truly a gem! Their staff takes such care in preparing the food with love and attention to detail, and it really shows in every bite. The flavors are absolutely incredible—authentic, fresh, and full of taste. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great food and great service!” ❤️“

“This place is similar to the concept of a combination of a coffeehouse, tavern, and dining hall in Turkey. It’s like a blend of three different places, something I haven't even seen in Turkey. I liked it; the prices are reasonable. There are about thirty people inside, but no women at all.“

“😀I discovered the Paramount Fine Foods Restaurant while visiting the casino of Niagara Falls. It appeared to be a gastronomic experience.“

“Went for a friend’s birthday. Chill, street-food-style spot with a few tables — more of a casual eatery than a full-on restaurant, although they offer course meal options.

The Tameya (falafel) was crispy and flavourful. The Beef Hawawshi was juicy, though the bread was a bit too soft and soggy for me. The tahini and sauces were excellent.

Simple menu, fair prices, and friendly service overall — though for a birthday table, you’d expect a bit more attention.

As a meat lover, I wish there were more options, but overall, a solid choice for casual Middle Eastern food.“

“I visited for the first time at humber hospital, i was craving for something healthy and tasty and i saw paramount fine foods and the wrap prepared by the staff was too yum and healthy I can’t explain, and the staff was very polite and friendly.
Will definitely visit soon again.“

“Amazing food! Recommend and can’t wait to get it again.“

“I went here for lunch yesterday. The food is delicious & worth the trip. I had the Philly cheese steak sub. The meat is wonderfully seasoned & juicy. The cream cheese sauce on this sandwich made it even better. The bbq chicken shawarma wrap is good also. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Best Experience Highly recommend 💕 Great Ambiance Everyone is super nice“

“It’s really delicious halal food. If you are a food lover, pls have a try. Hope you will enjoy.“

“Great little gem of a restaurant… perfect brunch 👌“

“For the first time I ordered food , and picked up , the place looks nice , and food very tasty and delicious. Staff very friendly. I recommend Laymoon Restaurant and cafe and definitely going there again“

“Been happily coming here since DAY ONE - 1995!“

“Any time I come to Ghazele, Teddy and Nebia always put a smile on my face, and make the most delicious and fresh food. Not only are they truly lovely people, they have amazing portions, prices and flavor!

Any time I visit Toronto, this is my first stop!“

“One the best Kebob and Chicken dishes I've ever had!“

“Amazing and very delicious authentic Iraqi or Mediterranean food by chef Toma and his team service and hospitality 10/10 and very nice atmosphere. I would highly recommend Toma’s Grill Room, for friends and family precious time thank you very much.

Parking: Lots of parking lots available“

“I first came to this place more than 15 years ago and it was amazing..a hidden gem.., then it changed owners and they tried to make it more "upscale" but it was just more expensive and quality of the food dropped..it was still "ok" for a change once in a while.. . I have not visited Belle for years now as I moved out of Toronto and then the pandemic and yesterday while in Toronto we decided to order take out .....very very disappointed The prices don't match the quality of the food and when we picked up we just saw a bunch of teens playing videogames not really customer oriented. We had to wait longer for the order and the food was cold. The Lula kebab was burnt, the home fries (that was the signature master piece) were dried up, the chicken was tasteless... Poor quality, poor customer service and expensive. Will not come back or recommend again“

“Absolutely amazing, very tasty and the service was great. definitely will be back“

“I know the restaurant since 2010. One of the best I've been visiting not just in Canada but also in the world. for sure, I highly recommend you to try its delicious dishes. Respectful and kind staff, you'd love to talk with.“

“the experience was wonderful . the shawarma was delicious and staff were friendly. thank you guys . see you soon“

“The best services and most polite and friendly staff with a very good quality of food and products“

“This is by far the best shawarma place in town.

It's worth the drive, walk or TTC. You won't be disappointed.

The chicken and lamb are to die for.

The owner is super nice and ensures you get a good meal, done right. The portions are a great size.

Thanks for feeding all of us locally. Your food is awesome!“

“Wonderful service and excellent food, cozy booths, music a little too loud.“
