Tarboosh Restaurant

Finally!!!
We found the best shawarma in town.
Chicken shawarma was the closest so far to the ones I have in Lebanon. and it is white meat (not the dark meat you eat in all other places)
Same thing goes for the beef shawarma, You can taste the quality and freshness of the food.
Lebanese recommended :-)

My favourite middle eastern meal. Every bit as good as mom makes! Best tabouli you can get anywhere. Great staff.

I give this place a 3 – 3.5. This restaurant has been here for a couple of years now and i never got the chance to visit. Last weekend was my first time.
There’s parking at the back and the entrance is around the building, but you can go through the building and go up a few stairs and it will take you to the front of the building. The entrance is quite tricky, its a little door in the corner.
The restaurant looks very nice inside. There was no customers in the restaurant on a Friday night then they start coming in around 8 – 8:30. We were greeted right away and told us to pick wherever we wanted to sit. The menu had a wide variety of grilled meats and vegetarian dishes. We ordered the beef shawarma on hummus and a chicken shawarma platter with tabouleh and fries. Our glass was never empty, they made sure it was always filled. The hummus beef shawarma came with pita. The dish was great but after awhile the beef is noticeably sour due to the overwhelming lemon marinade they used, that also went for the chicken shawarma platter. The chicken was also a bit dry. the tabbouleh was great and fresh. Fries was tasty and crispy!
Their arabic coffee is tasty and super strong, Its comparable to turkish coffee. Overall this place is OK, i’ll give it another try and order something else.

This place is great for pickup food and sandwiches. This is not dine in place.
They have the best beef shawerma in the GTA. The chicken shawerma is good too but they use 100% white meat which makes it too dry but if you are looking for a healthy sandwich then it’s your best choice. Also the falafel is amazing !
I’m not a fan for the rest of thier menu but all over its decent if you want to try something else.
Sum it up get beef shawerma sandwich with 6 pieces of falafel and your choice of a drink.

This restaurant was a bit challenging to find as it in inside a mini-​mall of sorts. The parking is at the back of the building and you walk through the doors and up the stairs and that’s the entrance to the restaurant.
Once we got inside, I was honestly surprised by how clean and welcoming the restaurant was. We took a seat at a table and waited to place our order.
All I can day was that the it was excellent service and the waiter was very kind and professional. He repeated our order back to us to avoid confusion. We got 1 soup, 1 kibbi, 2 sandwiches and 2 kebabs (chicken and beef).
The first thing to come out was the soup — which was absolutely delicious. It wasn’t salty in the slightest and felt very healthy — it was a lentil based soup. Oh, and to top it off, they gave us an extra soup for free since they had extra remaining! That was unexpected and extremely kind.
The next things to come out were the kibbi and kebabs. To our surprise — again — they gave us an extra kibbi as they had leftovers! Wow. Way to make a good first impression.
The last to arrive shortly after was the sandwiches — I got a chicken shawarma.
The food was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed every single dish. I wasn’t planning on dessert, but based on how good the service was an the quality of the meal, I decided to try a pistachio baklava. I later found out that this was made in house and it was tasty as well. We had ours warmed up (thanks to the waiters recommendation) and enjoy it. It was sweet and the portion was fairly big. I suggest getting one for every 2 people to share it.
Overall, I will be back here and have already told friends about this restaurant. It was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had and I appreciate that the waiter took the time to deliver top notch quality to complement the top notch food.

Super friendly service and the food very fresh, the place is not that fancy bit old style but in general great experience totally enjoyed it

I would give this place 4 and a half out of 5 stars. When it comes to taste and quality, this restaurant has been exceptional over the past decade. We have been dining here for well over 10 years and the foods quality and taste has never deteriorated over this period (fortunately). This is simply exceptional from a restaurants perspective and it definitely says a lot about their owners (have never met them).
Yes they are closed on Sunday’s so watch out for that. But In terms of pricing and food quality they are above any middle eastern restaurant in the GTA. In Mississauga this restaurant is definitely my favourite middle eastern joint. I would put this up as the best middle eastern restaurant in Mississauga. Seriously it’s so underrated, yeah places like paramount and the ton of middle eastern kabob joints which are around sauga are nice but this stands out on my list. One should definitely give it a try.
Here’s what I usually order: —
1 hummus
1 tabouli
2 chicken skewers
2 lamb skewers
Pita

Best falafel in Mississauga, but my favorite is the beef shawarma. Great selection for vegetarians and vegans. If you are interested in authentic Lebanese food this is the place to be, one of the originals in Mississauga.

Best Fresh food and amazing service. It may take some time as they make it fresh. worth the wait and much more than value of money. I am a customer since 2008 and eat there twice a week.

Don’t let looks deceive you. The inside of this restaurant is quite nice, but the outside can be quite scary. It’s in a corporate office building that looks a bit decrepit, and the entrance to the restaurant is a bit weird, but don’t let it deceive you. It’s looks really nice on the inside.
Anyways, onto the food. This is Lebanese food and they have a vegetarian lunch buffet for $ 10.49, which includes a few types of rice, pita bread, hummus, an assortment of salads and some cooked veggies. All the food was hot and fresh and it tasted very good.
However, it’s hard for me to eat just veggies, so I also got a chicken skewer. I have to admit, the chicken was juicy and fresh and well seasoned which was around $ 4.
Not a bad place to visit for lunch, though service could improve.

Still the best and cheapest lunch in Mississauga. A falafel with hot sauce only three dollars. You can never go wrong with that

Beef Shawarma all the way!

Worst service ever! Food was good, but man, the workers need to develop some people skills. I had asked for water, waited 15 minutes, then asked again and was given a dirty look. I asked if there was a problem, and the waiter said you don’t need to ask twice. I only had to ask after I waited 15 minutes.

Falafel was fresh, crispy on the outside, soft in the inside.
Ordered chicken shawarma platter and the mixed grill platter which had one of each chicken, beef, lamb skewers. (With the choice of 2 sides for each platter)
I don’t know what else to say other than that it was the
.
So good. So tasty. Prolly the best middle eastern food I’ve ever had so far.
I went on a wed night. It was not busy at all which was quite surprising but it was great that we didn’t have to wait long.
I am definitely gona come back when I’m craving for some falafel and shawarma.
Bless the Lebanese people for the food.

There’s nothing more I could add to the other reviews as this place has amazing beef shawarmas! I’m by no means claiming to be a shawarma aficionado but I have tried many, especially out in Scarborough and this place reigns supreme. First of all, the meat is top quality, as are the toppings — very fresh and prepared with pride. Nice clean place, friendly service and open late on the weekends from what I understand.

Excellent food and service! Food is so authentically good fresh and tasteful. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. They were so nice to my neice and nephews and gave them candy bars when we left. Highly recommend!

My friends and I have been coming here for over 15 years. It’s a great place to gather and enjoy a wonderful meal together!
The Chicken Shawarma plate is excellent, as is the Falafel, just to name a few.
Also, the garlic sauce is everything you want it to be! Not like some of the ‘garlic’ sauce you can get from some places that have no flavour.

This place is great for Falafel and Shawermah, however if you need the good falafel and the owner not in duty at your visit time, you have to tell the employee: you need your falafel well done, because only the owner do that by default. It’s weird right ?!
Simply, Good Falafel = good cooked

This place has been there for a while, hard to get in there since parking is at the back but the food is amazing. They also make their own hot sauce, and even sell it in bottles.
Shawarma is amazing and price is reasonable. Also they have cheaper take out prices.

Came here for my birthday and we all shared a few appetizers: falafel, foul medammes, fried eggplant, and kibbi. One of us got the falafel sandwich but it wasn’t anything special.
The appetizers were great and they were made fresh to order! Each order come in a plate with fresh salad and tahini sauce. Appetizers were served with a lot of pita bread but again, nothing special. Food was nice and hot when served and it really reminded me of home.
Afterwards we had Arabic tea with cardamom and it was lovely, just add sugar to your likely.
Overall, it was filling and yummy and I will probably come again!
