Family Shawarma & Falafel

I miss this place
When I was working in North York a co-​worker got me onto this place
Two shwarmas for 6.00 was a deal that cannot be beat
That was my place to hit up and get a solid shwarma
Was always busy during lunch
I would always mix it up with one beef and one chicken
If I am back in the area will have to hit this place up again

This place must be the cousin to Tasty Shawarma… it is about 10 feet away from it with almost identical décor menu and style. They even have the same scoopers for meat!!! It is, in my opinion, better in every way compared to its neighbor for the following reasons:
1) Not cheap on toppings — want a little more radish? maybe some extra hummus? some spicy chopped jalapenos? They’ll do it with a smile and not charge you 50 cents for a spoonful
2) Sauce — the sauce is like day and night. it is so flavourful and not watered down. If you like garlic sauce, oh man this one has a nice punch to it
3) Condiments — as noted by pictures above there is self serve hot sauce, vinegar, salt, pepper
4) Beef Shawarma — The beef actually tastes… well like beef. Its falvourful, not too salty, and a good meaty taste. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten beef shawarma and it tasted like disappointment with a lot of salt.
Overall if you have to choose between here and Tasty Shawarma… come here. It is better in every aspect! (No offense to all the Tasty fans out there)

Love this place! Most well seasoned, delicious shawarmas I’ve ever had… like ever. They have deals almost daily where you can get 2,3 shawarmas at a really low price. Didn’t leave here hungry or unsatisfied. They have this spicy green sauce, I dunno if its jalepenos or what but it really takes the shawarma to another level. I urge you to try it out if you haven’t. The day we went it was cold out but the food more than made up for it.

a very good shawrama. I saw some people say it’s too little filling? I don’t think so, any more and the pita wrap will explode and it will be messy. I think it’s a good amount of filling and what did you expect for 4.75? it’s under 5 bucks.
the meat is nice and flavourful, they use an electric cutter to cut it and the meet is in nice small pieces. then grilled after it’s wrapped up.

Best shawarma’s ever!!! I’m not an expert when it comes to shawarma’s, but compared to other places I’ve tried, nowhere else can compare.
$ 1 to add fries to your wrap.
Delicious fries might I add… very addicting.

Shawarma competition is incredibly stiff in Scarborough, especially the far West end of Scarborough.
This isn’t my number one pick for shawarma, but it is my number two! My friends and I are late eaters, and this place closes at 10pm. Even at the final moments before closing, their shawarma meats still taste super fresh!
Friendly staff, and amazing chicken shawarmas! A definite place to try!

Having grown up on this type of food I’m well aware that the prices and deals here are amazing, however the food quality and portions are not up to my standards when compared to my other favorite spots for shawarma. They put very little meat and a lot of the times the meat is either tough or very fatty. If a deal sounds too good to be true it most probably is.

Amazing shawarmas, I’ve been coming here for almost 3 years and the quality of the food very consistent. Juicy, filling and big big portions! I always get the chicken shawarma.

I’ve come to this place a couple of times now after I was told by a good friend it was pretty good for some fast food chicken schwarma!
Boy was he right! The service is very fast and the vegetables they use are very fresh! The only thing I would complain about is the size of the schwarma wraps. They need to fill it up a bit more! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
This place is also very clean inside. Which is a great bonus! They have a special for 2 or 3 schwarma wraps! Love it here!

This place is dope. Exactly what I want when I go for shawarma– cheap food with huge portions for the price! If this wasn’t an hour away from my place, I’d come here everyday.

3 shawarma in pitas for $ 14 after tax. Portions are pretty big, but they could put more filling in the wraps, or wrap them better. The wraps were loose (as in you could very clearly tell there was space in them). They were also wrapped so that one side seemed to have all the salad veggies and the other size was all meat. Hot sauce isn’t particularly hot. Kinda tastes like tabasco. Had I not known it was a shawarma, I wouldn’t have been able to tell, based on the seasonings. It had the taste of regular grilled chicken. Their hummus is smooth, but a tad watery. Also tastes like supermarket hummus. They put a good toast on the wrap using a panini press though.
Upsides: The chicken shawarma, while on the giant rotating spit, looks like food porn. You can actually see the chicken juices dripping off of this huge spit of meat. It’s beautiful. Service was pretty friendly too.
Interesting thing to note: The people running the restaurant are from Iraq, but they have gyros, souvlaki, and cheeseburgers on the menu. Cheeseburgers are like 2/​$ 6.50 ish?

Great place. Food tasty and fresh. Amazing shawarmas. Friendly staff. No disappointments. Highly recommended.

Every time I come I am satisfied. Literally. When I’m hungry and need to eat something I go this awesome place. This is one place I am never disappointed. And I am very critical. First of I order the beef shwarma. It is a mixture of warmth and crunchy texture. I believe the pickled turnips give it that extra kick. Price is awesome! You can order three for about 12 dollars. Highly recommend.

Great place for lunch. 2 Shwarmas for $ 8.25. Staff always accommodate when I ask for extra time on the grill.

We just hit this place up for lunch and I am satisfied! Not only is the menu affordable, but the food is good. I ordered the Shawarma wrap with gyro meat.
I could totally see myself going back here!

Just like Gina T. said they are not the most talkative people. I had to do the greetings and after placing my order for two chicken shawarma’s it was made without a word. Finally, when it was time to pay I threw some change into the tip jar and finally got a thanks. Not that there was anything wrong with the service but some people may be turn off with the silent treatment. Some people are just more quiet than others.
The chicken shawarma’s were excellent. Nice portion of chicken and all the toppings were fresh. A very filling meal for just under $ 9 after tax.

Simply the best shawarma I’ve had. Very no frills but polite and fast service. Did I mention the delicious chicken shawarma?

Small out of the way place with really good food and great prices. Seems to always be busy, so I am definitely not to only one who appreciates them

Consistent shawarmas. They’re not the most talkative people, and seem a bit surly — but they make a good sandwich! The prices are also ridiculous… in a good way. I think it’s about $ 8 for any 2 sandwiches.
I’ve tried chicken, falafel, and the gyros.
If you’re SUPER hungry go for a plate. I recommend Chicken — it’s a huge portion of meat, rice salad, pita and a drink. I think you can sub the side.
Gyros taste good in the pita — Toppings include garlic (toum), onions, cabbage, pickled turnips (or are they beets? I get them mixed up) and I usually ask for hummus. Tahnini and hot sauce (a bit weak) to finish off the sandwich. Then they throw it onto the press and so a nice crust forms.
Falafels are made when ordered… and they make a damn tasty falafel. I would definitely say their falafels are the best thing on the menu. crispy on the outside, nice flavour on the inside — and not too dry and not crumbly.
The fries are also decent-​from frozen, but consistently good. I think it’s a nostalgia thing for me though.
Cash only — but they do have an atm on site.

They have really good prices and the taste is good. Though the customer service was horrible.
We were served by a grumpy employee, who was less than pleased to see a customer. Also our order of souvlaki looked nothing like the picture; in the picture the souvlaki comes with tabbouleh, we instead received lettuce and a few tomatoes with humus on it. I should say that the two shawarmas were accurate to the picture.
