A Hidden Gem for Authentic Syrian Cuisine! This place is an absolute delight! The food is nothing short of amazing – every dish was thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and cooked to perfection. The chef is incredibly talented and welcoming; we had such a great conversation that added a personal touch to the experience. The ambiance is truly unique and charming, making it a perfect spot to enjoy delicious food. Their chai was phenomenal – rich, aromatic, and a perfect complement to the meal. In my opinion, this is hands down one of the best street food spots in downtown.

I cannot put in words how fire the food was. We got kabob wrap, and Damascus quesadilla. Quality of the food is beyond excellent. Will recommend to everyone in Toronto, most probably the best shawarma spot in DT

Came here because of the wonderful reviews on Google. The food didn’t disappoint. There was so much flavor in both the chicken shawarma and the beef kabob. The man who prepared my order was so friendly and gave outstanding service. Too bad I was just visiting Toronto. I’d definitely come back!

Amazing authentic Syrian street food I haven’t had it in 10 years. Must try the beef kebab and of course soujek (it’s a little spicy for kids) but a must have. And you need to drink Ayran drink bit all the drinks here were amazing. Ice tea & lemonade

Lebanese / Syrian here. BEST MIDDLE EASTERN SPOT AROUND TORONTO. Everything from the kebab to the shawarma & “Toshka” (syrian quesadillas). Founder & Chef Harwash is incredibly friendly & hospitable too. Must try!👌🏼🔝

This one needs an award. To be honest, this has been the ONLY shawarma in my life I’ve ever had that has tasted genuinely fresh. He makes the food right in front of you and it is sizzling off the grill. Never had usomething like this before. The shawarma is 10/10.

My dad and I randomly found this place and tried their beef kabob and Toshka Damascus Style! O.M.G. Both were so delicious! The service was also great and friendly. Would highly recommend and canton wait to go back for more!

I was just walking by and the menu looked interesting. I don’t usually eat Syrian food, but shawarmas are good to me. The chef/owner approached me and recommended that I try the toshka. I said sure, and he asked me to wait a bit. He made the dish to order and was careful with preparing it. He offered some pickles, and I obliged. There is a table on the sidewalk, but I took the food inside the community center for more space. It tasted so good. I would go back to get it again! Credit card/apple pay accepted.
