Description

Mixed reviews paint a picture of a restaurant with some standout dishes, such as flavorful kabobs and donairs, alongside inconsistencies and service issues. Customers praise the food quality, particularly the homemade bread with spicy hummus, but note issues with cold food, salty chicken, and unfriendly service. The restaurant itself is described as in need of a makeover, with outdated decor. However, for a quick, satisfying meal like a loaded shawarma or donair, this spot is conveniently located near Sunridge Mall and offers a range of options for dine-in or takeout.

Bought chicken shawarma plate for take out. Office was only 3 minutes away. Chicken was barely warm, rice and potato was cold. It was 11:30. Not sure if the food would become cold around noon. This is something that needs improvement. It was quiet but I don't think this was the excuse. Chicken was a bit salty with strong spice favour. Rice was yellow but didn't have any special favour though. Potato was spicy type and it was ok. Portion was good and lots of chicken. I asked the owner to cut down the rice and potato for me so the picture doesn't show the true size.

Went there for a dinner after watching a movie. When we walked in the restaurant was very clean and one of the staff greeted us and gave us a menu. We got Chicken Kabab and it was so yummyCool Features they have by the Table.

Recall going to this place 2 years ago and the donair was great. This time, the lamp donair was cold, the meat was tasteless. No going back again.

This is one of my go-to spots for lunch. I've tried a variety of items, including shawarma, falafel, lentil soup, the islander plate, and the tikka plate, and everything has consistently been excellent. My coworkers also agree that it's a delicious place to eat. The service is always quick, and the owners are frequently present to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

We were in the area and saw the sign up for schwarma and decided to stop in. Best idea ever! Tried the mediterranean platter and mousakka. Everything was delicious! Our tastebuds were titilated. So good. A must try. We shall return and hopefully soon.
