Food was INCREDIBLE! So fresh and tasty, the chicken shawarma was so juicy (which is not always the case at shawarma places) and everything was so flavourful. 10/10 meal

Absolutely delicious food! I am Celiac and need to follow a strict gluten free diet, the owner was happy to go through safe options with me and there are so many yummy options to choose from! Falafel are naturally gluten free and these are in a fryer separate from flour - yay! My go to however is grilled chicken, rice, loads of veggies, pickles and smothered in tahini! Always tasty and a great value!

The best Shawarma wraps! tastes amazing! Way better portions than its three closest competitors who I won’t even rate or acknowledge their existence. nice sized portions really fair prices, fresh veg, and no EXTRA charges for parsley or extra toppings. Ice cold soft drinks.. The most friendly and courteous staff… and fast service.. but most important

We have had shawarmas at many places in thr GTA and in various cities in Canada. This shawarmas here are very, very good. Close to thr best we have had. The restaurant is a casual one, with limited seating and is not fancy. But the food is excellent quality, decent portions and authentic taste. Absolutely value for money.

Like people said in the comments earlier, big portion for the cheap price and the taste of the food is pretty good too. What stood out for me at this place was interacting with Salman who works here on the weekends. I swear he made every customer feel welcomed. Definitely a place I would visit again for sure

sheesh! time to finally write my review on my fav shawarma spot in the city!! yes the whole city!!! i don't f with that tired ole alibaba! used to be crispy now they're dusty!! anyways i've been eating here since last year when i found it and it's never let me down. fair warning this review is of the chicken shawarma wrap and the fries only because that's all i ever get. make sure you grab a mango nectar too they're the bomb. anyway the pics speak for themselves. so much meat. i only got onions lettuce and greens on mine with garlic sauce and hummus. meat ratio was easily 50% almost forgot to mention that i got the wrap, small fries with ketchup and garlic sauce, and a delish lime soda for $12.13!!!! are you crazy!!!! eat here or you're fooling around. stop it
