What Alex S likes about Istar Restaurant:
We ended at the istar by mistake but we were pleasantly surprised. The food was great and really cheap. We went back the next night too because we enjoyed it so much. View all feedback. What Siv Ekström doesn't like about Istar Restaurant:
A friend and I went for a late munch and the service was beyond horrible, first time there and we’re standing near the counter and the staff kept going by us till we asked to order. Upon ordering the waiter was mixing all of the utensils with different type of meat and salads (we ignored it). We finished our food, I washed my hands and went to the front counter to ask for napkins and the waiter was on a personal call... View all feedback.

You should definitely check their shawarma. Honestly it's by far the best shawarma I had in Toronto.
