Falafel World

Excellent food and great friendly service. Love this restaurant. Would recommend to anyone.

The food is best experienced takeout. I’ve been eating here for 15 years. One of the best chicken shawarma in town. The original owners are absolutely lovely. The brother or in law who is fat and balding is destroying this place.
He serves white people ahead of minorities who are standing in line. He clearly has a complex. He also adds extra charges at his whim. My frequency is getting lower due to him. I don’t mind paying $ 3 more for a plate than a similar place a block away for the white meat. They should not charge extra for replacing 1 salad for another. When I see him at the counter I leave.
Very sad decline due to 1 terrible individual.

One of the best shawarnas in Toronto. Meat is nicely done, veggies are fresh, sauces are home made. I’ll be back

I love this place, the owners make me feel right at home and I’ve only been twice so far… in a week. Falafel I had both times made fresh to order and the tahini sauce they make is the best I’ve had. Chicken/​falafel sandwich is the way to go for a quick filling healthy affordable lunch w/​a drink. The baklava is made in house and is delicious.
Very authentic simple Lebanese food made with love.

I have heard a lot of great things about this place so I finally decided to check it out with my sister. Since they are known for their falafel and hummus we both ordered falafel wraps. So good!!! The falafels were a good size and the wrap was packed with delicious ingredients (cabbage, turnips, lettuce, tabuli etc.). They are really generous with toppings so the wraps were a pretty good size. We also added hummus as an extra topping. There is a small charge for it but it’s totally worth it. The only reason I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I would have preferred the wrap to be a bit warmer. Placing it under a Panini press would have made it so much better. Overall, everything we ordered was quite delicious and I will certainly be coming back! Highly recommend it!

Wonderful food, wonderful customer service. .. OVERALL –A

The janina sandwich is unbelievable. I’m so sad I can’t find it elsewhere in the city because when do I ever need to come to Bloor West village?
If you like eggplant and lentils, and even if you normally don’t, try the janina sandwich. Outgoddamnstanding.

Right off the bat, the service was super friendly and very approachable.
I ordered the chicken shawarma plate. I asked for no tabbouleh and was asked if I would like to try a lentil salad instead (very tasty), otherwise served with fresh hummus, salad, a small side of pickled radish and whole wheat pita bread.
Tasty meal, cost was good — would like to try the falafel next!

Consistently great falafel schwarma combination. I don’t make it to this neighborhood often enough. If I’m within 10 miles of this place around lunch time, I will go out of my way to get one.

The people are super friendly, the restaurant is old looking but very clean. But Damn it was cold in there! It felt as if we were sitting outside (it’s December) and the food was also ofcourse cold. We ordered a falafel plate and janina sandwich. The taste was good but again it was cold and we were cold which made it hard to enjoy. After reading some of the raving reviews, I was really looking forward to Hot crispy falafel fresh out of the fryer… But I didn’t get what I was looking for.

Legit I would have to say the customer service is better than the food itself. I personally enjoy falafel quite often and don’t really like it to be sitting around for god knows how long.
It was a generous portion, but the falafel itself was cold.
Spicy sauce was OK.
Lots of competitors in the general area.

Great food! Good prices! Nice people! What more to ask for?

So I am by no means the absolute authority on all things shawarma or falafel but I know good eats and this place is very good eats (Lebanese style). I have been coming here since oh about 1988 and it is still the same family run business and I hope it never changes, although I did notice the other day when I went past they did repaint the the name Falafel World on the front window I hope there are no bigger plans int he works. I have had this type of food all over the city of Toronto and from different cultural backgrounds and without a doubt this place does it the best. The veggies are always fresh, the meat dishes are spiced perfectly and are juicy and flavorful portions are perfect, not small and enough to fill you without leaving any behind. Pricing is right on point you get a great meal for a fair price and I have always been satisfied, the staff are always friendly and helpful and it feels like I am going to see a friend when I eat here.
I am sure anyone else would enjoy it also.

I love Falafel World because its right beside Jane station! So when I’m coming home from school super hungry I stop by for my 5 dollar student special. It comes with a shawarma wrap a can drink and a side of your choice (fries, batata, etc) in all honesty I don’t find it THE BEEST shawarma, but its pretty good. They make their own special garlic sauce and for me thats a bad thing, it just doesn’t taste the same. I also don’t like how little toppings they put. They put a wide variety of stuff but very little. Overall though the owner of the shop (you can tell its him because he has pictures of himself proud at work in the restaurant) treats his customers very kindly and I love when he takes my order. Falafel World has very great customer service and they keep the place is pretty clean.

Solid chicken shwarma place, fresh vegetables and chicken isn’t as fatty or salty as most shwarma places.

My new favourite place after moving to the area, food is soooooooooooooooo good, the family that owns the place are amazing, always smiling, and the food is incredible (I know, I repeated, making a statement here)… and honestly, for size and quality and freshness, you won’t believe the prices…
100% my go-​to place in Bloor WV

I love the janina sandwich. If you haven’t tried it and are a fan of eggplant I highly recommend it. It’s so moist and flavourful — yummy! I have cravings for this.
I’ve been coming here for years — the husband grew up in the neighbourhood and was in the Falafel Flames hockey team when he was a kid. It started with him bringing me here to show me pictures of him with his team (they’re still there, hanging above the cash register) and then I quickly developed a love for their food.
Janina is my favourite thing here. A close second is the combination plate which is half chicken, half falafel. Their hummus is a must! I find the falafels can be a little on the dry side so I usually smother them in hummus and all is good.
Did I say you should try the Janina sandwich? Because you should! Yum!

BEST CHICKEN SHAWARMA EVER!
I have been to many shawarma places around Toronto and none of them come close to this. Great people too!

Felafel Friday! We used to eat here every Friday when we lived in the neighborhood and now make the trip across the city every few months to enjoy the excellent «Felafel Plate» dish.
I’ve eaten felafel in many countries around the world, and this is definitely my favourite — crispy felafel balls and creamy textured tahini along with really fresh tabbouleh and lettuce/​cabbage salad. I like a little hot sauce on top also. Mmmmmm
They don’t always have it available, but they used to serve a bread called «Manoush» (sp?) which was a round bread with Olive Oil, Za’atar (I think that this is an African or Middle Eastern type of Thyme and possibly Sumac (can’t quite recall). Excellent and very unique flavour so if they have it… try it.

Falafel World is where we generally pick up dinner when we’re too lazy to make anything or just need something quick.
Food is always fresh and tasty. Pricing is super affordable for the expensive Bloor West neighbourhood. Stuffed falafel and swarma sandwiches priced from $ 5-​$ 6 and combination plates under $ 10. Baklava ($ 1.50/piece) is awesome… so crispy, so flaky!
Service is kind and friendly. It’s a place that you want to come back to over and over again.
