picked up Shawarma mixed plate with salad both beef and chicken were both dry almost like beef jerky seems like the meat was from yesterday ? salad was fresh though! If you’re going here, I would definitely ask to taste the meat first before ordering 😬

I discovered Red and White when they first opened almost 20 years ago. Smart phones and google reviews werent even a thing lol. I lived in an apartment just down the street.. single guy so it was a quick fix for a great price.. feels like it was a different life lol. The shawarma here, was hands down the best I've had in Toronto.. I think it was my first shawarma too.. this is the kind of meal you want and could eat daily. There was no getting tired of it, it was that good. Since then, I've moved, had kids, started my own business.. i've had LOT'S of shawarma from all different restaurants from all nationalities hoping, praying even to find another shawarma that was close and ive had some almost as good, but I've yet to find a place that can put together such a delicious shawarma as you get here. A lot has changed in almost two decades since I came across this place.. and as luck would have it, I was in the area the area this afternoon. imagine the excitement when I saw Red and White still there! It had changed owners though.. naturally I asked myself "will it be the same?" I rolled the dice, ordered a wrap with everything on it like i always did, and AMEN! I was a 20 year old again.. the nostalgia.. it brought back some great memories with just one bite.. if youre wondering.. YES it was just as good as the first time.. I just finished mine and I'm ready for another.. I don't know what they put in it, but it's DAMN DELICIOUS! If you're in the area, treat yourself. Great price for a big wrap, but all the plates are generous servings. Disclaimer: you won't be able to enjoy a shawarma anywhere else after this. So be ready for that.. A way i like to describe dishes with this kind of flavour is to say "itll make your mouth orgasm" lol.. yeah. It's that good. Don't take my word for it. The worst that'll happen is you'll be disappointed.. that you didnt try this sooner or that Red and White isn't closer to your home.. I know I am 😮💨 You'll remember this review and thank me.. you'll thank yourself too for trying it, I'll bet on it. Enjoy!! Thank you Red & White for staying delicious.. until next time 🤤🤤🤤

Amazing customer service. Professional, friendly, and very competent. Food could be a little bit better. Their veggie options are great but the meat needs work. I had the chicken and beef mixed plate. Both the chicken and beef need more love during cooking. But the exceptional customer service makes up for it. Great work by the staff!

Came here on the recommendation of a friend and did not disappoint! Meat and toppings are fresh and they’re generous with their portions! I will say, a large shawarma wrap is very filling!

I visit here regularly. It is a nice and clean place where we go with our family, smiling and sincere people. The lady and the gentleman are very polite and have a nice business that produces very delicious products. We are always happy to be here.

"The food is great! Have been coming here for more then 10 years ! Their shareama plate is soo good wish the portion was bigger like other places.. anyways the hot sauce they make is the best and when they grill the shawarma pieces on stove it makes he chicken taste sooo goood!" That was my original review. I changed my review now. Because I went today and the portion shrank!! The square box is now a small rectangle box with less rice and chicken like lit nothing, and the price went up! Also soooooo much oil as I posted a pic too show. There was more but a lot of the extra oil dropped in the bag. I rather go to Tahinis that opened up in rexdale positions r soo big and same taste! Disappointed!
