I would give five stars except on account of the service (I’m going to avoid recounting. They were probably short-staffed).I would recommend the chicken schwarma wrap with extra chicken (the steep upcharge is worth it). The wrap had a delectable combination of flavors I’ve never before experienced. The spicy potatoes are worthwhile as a side dish. Also, the waitress brought a piping hot piece of pita bread to the table prior to the meal that almost melted in my mouth!

STAY CLEAR NO MANNERS, IGNORANT, POOR FOOD and small portion for $20. I ordered chicken and beef shawarma plate and recipes a handful of fries, a table spoon of chicken, a table spoon of beef, three onions and one pickle. Just to get to the point I never got the homemade pitta that comes with it and after several minutes of trying to speak to them a man told me it’s complimentary and that’s why you didn’t get it. Total joke even though it’s on the menu and I paid for it. STAY CLEAR and don’t go near, NO MANNERS and clearly DO NOT CARE and they think you won’t be back as it’s departures in Terminal 3 Toronto Pearson Airport. SPEND your money ELSEWHERE with someone that cares..

We had our Christmas lunch here not much restaurants were open at the time so it was bit busy we had to wait quite a bit to get a table. Food was just amazing. Really friendly staff, even thought the restaurant was busy all the tables were promptly served.

Ordered from their website for lunch pick-up. The online ordering system had a glitch and we were unable to apply a 15% discount. The restaurant could not honour it, buf we still proceeded to order. I had a chicken shawarma with lentil soup. The shawarma was smaller compared to what I'm accustomed to, but it still tasted good. The lentil soup was creamy and nice, but adding the crispy pita chips on top elevated it.

Had the BBQ Platter. Their cheese cake baklava is to die for. The hummus is also top notch. Quality food. It might break your bank but its worth it.

Came here to eat, it is for sure a good location. Washrooms are 90% clean. Cleaner than other places for sure. Would love to see it sparkling.The waitress Yomen, that served us was super nice and patient thats an extra star. She is for sure a valuable player in this establishment.Music inside is awesome if u like arab music. As someone that listens to all kind I reall did like the selection here.All together ❤️All habibis must come in for a warm piece of bread and some fresh middle eastern vibe.Keep it up.Will visit again and update this post.Hope we can go from 4 to 5 star's

Perfect Location, yummy food, and our waiter, Joseph, what a wonderful guy, very friendly, always smiling and made our experience a pleasant one.

Enjoyed every last bite. I had the Veg platter option. Delectable. Lovely staff. I missed Mujadara that day. Winded up the meal with a lovely dessert.

Delicious, authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. I had been craving a good shawarma for months (from the West Coast where our options are limited) and this certainly hit the spot. We shared the vegetarian platter which had hummus, tabouli, moutabbal, falafel, and arnabeet (fried cauliflower). For mains we both had the beef shawarma wrap, which were delicious however we found the meat to be a bit dry - some extra sauce would have helped with that. Otherwise everything was fresh, super flavourful, and the portions were great for price. Coffee was tasty and the service very friendly. We will be back!

Great little Lebanese joint ?? Authentic tasting food?Pictured below is the chicken shish tawouk with fattoush salad and a lentil soup //The lentil soup could have been more full and tasty, but the chicken was pretty delicious. The garlic sauce was probably the best part to be honest… ?Puffed fresh pita was served prior to our meal but felt it was useless given there was no dip or anything to eat it with. Just felt I was filling myself up on pita bread while waiting for my meal. It was a nice touch, however just felt it was unnecessary bread with nothing to go with it ??‍♀️
