Quick Pita

The staff was super nice. I got a chicken shawarma. It was really good but a little light on the chicken… I’m still hungry.

This place is a joke.
Quick slap-​together anything goes shawarma by way of the lousiest service.
A ‘lady’ (using the term loosely) made my sandwich with everything in it when I was in the back of a line (four people ahead of me)… By the time I was in front of her, I had to tell her what to remove and never mind the white pita I would overlook. She looked thoroughly inconvenienced. The irony.
Get this– You have to pay extra for tabouli and hummus (huh?!). The staff argued that this is normal (righhht)
Plus– Fee for use of debit. Again. Same refrain: «they do that next door too”-OK, so I WON’T be back here OR wherever ‘next door’ is.
Best part– the staff insults you to your face in Arabic. A few summers in Tunis have given me enough working knowledge of Arabic to know when someone is throwing racist slurs at both me (African gal) and the guy ahead of me (south-​Asian customer).
I’ll happily turn the other cheap for a good shawarma but didn’t even get that. It es terrible.
Never again.
I RECOMMEND– walking past this dump. Nothing to see here. Head over to FIT FOR LIFE half a block closer to yeg intersection (50 eglinton east)
EXTRA TIP– FIT FOR LIFE has more sandwich styles and combos AND a healthy salad bar. Better ingredients, better service, no silly extra fees or racism on the side.

I made my Unilocal account specifically for this restaurant. First of all from outside, it looks good with its flashy lights. However, once inside it’s a totally different story. I am in a protein diet, so I ask for beef shawarma meat, to be placed on my tabouli. Everything seems fine, but once the bill is ready, I realize it’s the same price as the plate. I ask how can just meet and tabouli be the same price as a plate. I ask for manager which she calls. He tells me policy is Same price doesn’t matter if plate or not. How the hell does that make sense. To make matters worse the beef was all dry and not seasoned good. As for the tabouli it’s just cut up parsley and onions and whatever goes on it all dried up in the Container, once you order it they put lemon juice on it. Like come on if I wanted parsley with lemon on top I would make it at home. Will not go there again!!!

This place is god-​awful and should be closed down.
Any type if meat is dry and tasteless… Meaning it’s been sitting there for days if not weeks!
Total disgust

Had chicken shawarma sandwich. It was so good, I got another. Haven’t tried anything else to comment but I must admit that the shawarma was one of the best I’ve had in the city.

Had chicken shawarma plate. The food here sucks and the quality is horrible. The chicken is overly done, there is more skin than meat, potatoes are over-​cooked. I will never eat here again…

To accommodate picky eaters = one vegetarian, one dairy and egg alergictarian and me — hell I’ll eat just about anything (except lam *unnecessary b*, goat cheese and most seafood) — we decided upon Quick Pita. And I have had cravings ever since!
The platter was great! I love chicken… This chicken was good — not over/​under-​cooked as others have had! And I loved the different bits of things I had never tried before… a heaping butt load of parsley with veggies, rice and some brown bits, potatoes and a pita! For around $ 10… Nice, but I couldn’t eat it all! The other diners had some other food that met their restrictive diets and they enjoyed whateva them people who can’t eat meat and dairy eat.
One my next dip into Quick pita I just got the chicken shawarma — loved the garlic sauce and the pink pickled turnip! Everything was fresh and tasty.
This evening, once again, it hit me I WANNA SHAWARMA!!! I toddled off and got… chicken shawarma… but with fries this time. There was only one gal working and she did a kick arse job! She said there was supposta be another worker but a call of sickness was made so she was alone. She handled all the customers with a smile and did a great job of fulfilling customer requests!
I don’t know why people complain about the price of it…$ 5 for a dinner that isn’t deep fried dog food is a great deal in Toronto! The platters are less then $ 15…you canny get that in most restaurants nowadayz!

The food here is nothing special and the prices have been raised by a few dollars. The store claims the prices have been raised by a few cents, but that’s not true.
I don’t think I’ll be coming back here as often as I was. The food is way too overpriced for what it is. However, the service here is still good, I’ll give them that.

It’s sad when an employee makes you not want to be a customer anymore.
This is a Quick Pita /​Steak and Cheese Factory joint venture. I’ve ordered things from SaCF through Just-​Eat a couple of times, for delivery, and loved it, the food and the service. The last of those times the delivery guy suggested me to order directly with them.
I tried to order it on a Saturday. It was 10 PM and the pamphlet said they were open ’til 11, so I figured out, there should be no problem. A kinda clueless teenage girl took my whole order, confirmed it, confirmed my address, got my credit card info, only to call me back 10 minutes after to tell me that it was too late to order.
You could have checked that before getting my order, but that’s fine.
Then today I tried to order again, the same teenage girl took my order but this time she told me they’d send the credit card machine with the delivery guy and I would pay it at the actual delivery. Great! Food gets here, the delivery guy who doesn’t speak or understands a word of English tells me to swipe the card — without typing any amount first, what’s unusual. An error message appears, he doesn’t know what to do. Calls the restaurant and the girl tells me to try some stuff with the machine that didn’t work. She tells me that she will call the manager and then call back. «Should I just stand here in my hallway with the delivery guy?» «Yes, please». What? You know, when I order food it’s because I’m kinda hungry… but what do I know.
Ten minutes go by, me and the delivery guy trying to figure out the machine without success… she calls back and instructs me to try some other stuff, all to no avail. She tells me then that she doesn’t know what to do. «Can you figure this out and then come back so I can pay? I’m really hungry, I could use some food» «uuhhhmmmm… no sir… you have to pay, we cannot leave» «what? How is it my fault that your machine is not working?» «it’s not your fault, but it’s not my fault either» — ???
At this point I was 100% fed up, gave the food back to the delivery guy and asked them to get the hell out.
What happened to customer comes first? What would they lose by coming back later? $ 1.25 (1 litre of gas)? This girl is a genius. Made the business lose two happy customers over the threat of spending $ 1.25 to compensate for a problem that was caused by them.
I hope the owners of this place read this. Maybe it will prevent damage being done to people that are still interested in being their customers (hint: we’re not among them).

Nope!
Cons;
Undercooked falafel balls… no crunch.
Something was super salty.
.50 extra for tabbouleh… really? It’s standard at many places.
Wilted lettuce and the other ingredients looked a bit anemic.
Waxed paper melted into pita due to grilling.
Pros;
Provided seating and calories.

Sure, it’s quick. It’s got some good hot peppers and pickles. And there’s an Asian woman who seems to be some kind of manager or supervisor, who is kind and on the ball.
But that’s the only thing going for it.
Compared to any Chicken Shawarma, Quick Pita employees have been heavily trained to wrap meager toppings into a dry wrap — something that is masked by the wax paper wrapping. Here’s what happens:
There is a woman there (older, possibly Eastern European) who puts about 5 or 6 thin strips of shredded lettuce into the wrap. So I ask for more. She adds another 4 or 5, and somehow doesn’t understand the meaning of ‘more’. She does the same for the tomato and the onion. Today I had two pieces of tomato — each of them were the size of a quarter. So I asked for more. She added one more piece the size of a loonie. Absolutely ridiculous. All of this served with a scowl.
On top of that, she added pieces of chicken that were burned and dry that did nothing for the flavour of the wrap.
I will not return — places like this have far too much competition in the area. People won’t settle for poor service and even poorer presentation.

Came here to grab a quick dinner.
I ordered a chicken shawarma and was quite disappointed. There were many pieces of dry chicken that were as sharp as a broken piece of plastic. I seriously thought that someone was trying to kill me.
For $ 6 it was quite thin. Apparently all the ingredients were in there.
There’s a first for everything…

Nice little shawarma place around Yonge and Eglinton area.
Smiley and friendly faces serving you over the counter!
I am regular here… in the sense, I work nearby and its a quick of option to grab a sandwich, whether fully veg (falafel), chicken or beef.
Overall, always a nice experience…
I love the exotic bottled juices here, which you won’t probably find anywhere else!

Quick Pita is good for what it’s meant to be: a quick place to get something on a pita.
I find their falafel on a pita to be pretty good. Most of their items are reasonably priced. However, some of the food looks as if it lacks freshness; but most of it is relatively fresh.
The staff working there is always very friendly and efficient.
Overall, to get something to eat that’s cheap, fast and pretty tasty; Quick Pita is a good place to go.

Starving on my way home from work I kept looking over at Quiznos but it was on the other side of the street so I decided to settle on Quick Pita.
I have never tried this place before but it usually looks busy so I figured what the hell. The two ladies working behind the counter were friendly and had my chicken shawarma platter done within a few minutes.
Ok so this was pretty dissapointing. The rice pilaf was bland and overdone. The potatoes were cold and tasted as though they had been sitting out the whole day. The garlic sauce had a mushy texture to it. Isn’t it supposed to be smooth? The pita bread was stale and cardboard-​like…
The tabouli and the chicken itself were actually not bad. Fresh potatoes and rice would’ve rounded this meal out nicely. Why is it that restaurants always mess up the easy stuff?
