M’Zaar Restaurant

The last time I came here it was a one man show and the owner who served 5 people in under 10 minutes… that guy was AMAZING, however today it was different staff helping me some chubby guy in a cap and a girl so that’sTWO PEOPLE I ordered THE SAME THING I did last time and it took OVER 20 minutes and to make matters worse I got served LAST out of a line-​up of 5 people even though I had placed my order BEFORE everyone else. WTF M’zaar??? How is it that the one man can fulfill all those orders in half the time it took TWO PEOPLE to do in DOUBLE the amount of longer time??? FAIL!!!

Highly recommended Arabic restaurant! Chicken shawarma in here is the best. Even my Arabic friend said great. price is also acceptable. If you try here at once, you cannot go another Arabic restaurant.

This place is truly worthy of five big stars.
Firstly:
The owner has excellent interpersonal skills. I did not want potato or rice, and they happily substituted vegetables/​salad. Highly unusual — normally places won’t substitute vegetables as it is more expensive than the rice/​potato.
Secondly:
FOOD IS CLEAN (vegetables are washed well) and the food is F.R.E.S.H.
I was very impressed. My spouse goes there and recommended this place to me today as I was downtown on a course.
The owner KNOWS how to run a business. This is a smart business person — who treats people WELL. He will remain in business for a long time. SHUKRAN HABIBI!

that eggplant spread whose name i can’t remember is delicious!
chicken shawarma is okay, a bit too garlicy and very little meat in it. overall tasty
nice décor, friendly staffs. not bad

Stopped by for snack for shopping around Yorkville area. The first impression is restaurant is decently clean. Try chicken shawarma sandwich. The ingredients seem fresh and portion is fair. As for the flavour, it was ok and I do feel the chicken was too lean for me as I normally would prefer a but fat. I don’t think the taste is too different from other shawarma place. The difference is service here is quite friendly as well as dining area and washroom are well maintained and clean. The price is reasonable for the area it locates.

I have come here for a few years now and it’s delicious. Some of the best middle eastern in the downtown core. The owner is such a nice guy, and really puts a lot of value on providing good service. Shwarma plate has a little bit of everything and always delicious

Had the shawarma plate. All of the vegetables were old and wilting and the chicken was dry. The portion was incredibly frugal, which is fine because most of it ended up in the garbage. Will not be eating here again.

Great food, great service!
Got the Kafta kebab twice and was filled to the brim! Food is flavourful, and each dish tastes different. I love garlic, so they can pile it on and I won’t complain.
Portion sizes are quite big. With the dinner you get: roast potatoes, salad, hummus, garlic sauce, rice, and your choice of meat.

Some locals told me this was the best shawarma place to try so I did. It delivered. Saw a 2 chicken shawarma wrap for $ 9.99 until 5pm deal so I got that, plus an order of baba ghannouj, and kafta to try. They were super delicious. The dark meat and the french fries inside the wrap was also an added bonus. I can eat this wrap every day. I burped garlic for the remainder of the night so heads up on that if you’re going back to work.

Got a fresh app platter with hummus, tahini, grape leaves and salad as well as a Shishtouk plate. I like tve Baba Gabonoush the came with but my gf thought jt was too tahini/​garlicky. The plate was good but heavy on the garlic sauce and short on the potatoes. I’d said the food was a better grade than alot of generic Shwarma places in the area (I’m looking at you Ali Baba) but I’d still take Paramount in a middle eastern food matchup.

Delicious food especially the Falafel. However, i wish waiters and cooker wear gloves all the time especially when they hold breads

Was excited to visit after reading good reviews but was disappointed with hygiene and food quality. Horrible experience. The environment is clean but I can’t say the same about food prep, the guy who made my sandwich had one glove on and handled cash and the debit machine with the same glove on between making wraps before he put them on the hot press. I figure I’ll survive, having served myself I know most restaurants are actually pretty unclean so I didn’t make a fuss as it’s cheap food, you get what you pay for right? I was wrong. The beef shawarma wrap was soggy on one side and the vegetable fillings were cold and limp. It wasn’t even circular. It was more like a foldover omelette with refrigerated fillings. The beef was overpoweringly peppered and extremely tough and chunky. Ugh, I won’t be coming back.

So full. So happy. Amazing wholesome real food. Your chicken shwarma kept my boyfriend from blabbering on about being fed. Thank you.

Me and my girlfriend got a good feed. Only 23 dollars for two shawarma and two drinks. Money for jam. Very tasty food, it just slid down the hatch with all the sauces they dish up. 5 thumbs up

Came here for chicken shawarma but was really impressed by the crispy, airy falafels that are formed and made to order. Definitely one of the best falafels I’ve ever had.
The salads that came with the shawarma are quite fresh given that I was coming in around 8pm.
The friendly, professional customer service adds major points to the overall experience. You can tell that they put a lot of care into making sure that the customers are happy.

We had a vegetarian platter and a chicken shawarma dinner. Both were very good. Compared to some other middle eastern restaurants, I find the veggies here more fresh. I also like how the plates come with hummus. A lot of places don’t give you hummus with the plates.
Their falafels seem more «fresh» than other places too. It has more green than other falafels. I’m guessing they use a different proportional of chick peas and other ingredients. The taste is good. I still think Sababa’s falafel is the best.
The chicken shawarma tastes like chicken shawarma. I really don’t have any complaints about the food. It’s much better than the Ali Baba variety.
The décor is nicer than your average middle eastern place. In general I don’t find middle eastern restaurants very nice to sit in. M Zaar is not fancy, but it’s much more dine-​in friendly than most.
In terms of prices, they are fair. It’s not cheap, but it’s not as expensive as Paramount. When you consider the portion and quality, it’s worth my money. I will come again.

Delicious chicken shawarma here. Best I’ve had in a long time! I had the small platter. Potatoes were cold though. Also had a tabouleh to go.
Dining area is a bit small though, so I wonder if seating would be a problem during the busy peak hours. I was here on a Saturday late afternoon. Prices were alright. Unilocal app isn’t working properly still, so I had deleted my photo.

Love the food! Everything made fresh to order, Shish Tawouk, Soujouk Spicy Sausage, Vegetarian Platter & Delicious Lentil Soup. My go to place for Lebanese with a twist & with friendly service.

M’Zaar Restaurant looks very clean and nice. Great location, not far from Yonge and Bloor. One of the employees was friendly, the other one not so much. Looked like he has a bad day.
I ordered Chicken Shawarma wrap that was pretty big and costs $ 6. It was toasted lightly and I walked few blocks before eating.
What a mess. The garlic sauce was overpowering. Way too much garlic sauce, he didn’t even ask if I wanted it.
Chicken pieces were both dark and white meat, also lots of fat pieces.
The wrap was felling apart, soggy and wet from juices. There was actual liquid (I guess from chicken) leaking out. I could barely eat half, the rest went to trash.
I think Chicken Shawarma Platter would be much better.
Their hummus is okay, but nothing special. I am not sure I will give a second try.
I would also add a picture but it was nothing pretty.

If you are looking for a schwarma in the Yonge and Bloor area, head over to M’zaar!
This eatery is new and a bit nicer than other schwarma options in the area.
I ordered the chicken schwarma plate to go.
It was huge! All the items were fresh and the chicken was juicy. The roasted potatoes were deliciously seasoned. I was hungry and I was happy I went with a plate.
However, I wish the portion of salad was larger.
Also, the babaganoush was very salty.
I originally wanted a veggie wrap but they did not have grilled eggplant that day.
Overall, I liked my meal and the service was super friendly. This place is still new and I will return to try something else. :)
