    Pretty standard shawarma place. The staff are friendly, the shawarma garlicky, and the price is reasonable.

    One of the workers came into my grocery store one day to pick up supplies: he started ripping up bags out of rage because there was a tax on grocery bags. He then started insulting my manager and he tried to pick a fight with him. He caused a big scene eventually went to another cashier and started tearing up her bags. That is when I vowed never to go to that horrible restaurant ever again. If that is a representation of how they conduct themselves on or off work, I am at a loss for words. He also was wearing the Shish Kabab House shirt during this whole fiasco. Plus... they slather their meat in a processed dairy substance that they don't tell you about. Please take my advice and go to the far superior Pita Bell Kabab... that place is amazing.

    I used to live around the corner from this little slice of shawarma delight, and we frequented quite often. This is the first time I've been back in about a year, and while the staff seemed to have switched up a bit, the food is exactly the same.
    You get a TON of whatever your oder. I usually get the chicken plate which has shaved chicken from the spit, which is yummy, salad and potatoes. The garlic sauce and hummus is awesome as well!
    It's super filling and impossible to eat all at once. It's not as good the next day, so I recommend sharing! I like that they ask how many pitas you want as well - some days I'm one, somedays two, right?

    The baklava is yummy as well, and the prices are decent. For this massive order it was about $12, which I think is fair for fresh food that lasts for more than one meal. If you're on Carling and looking for some yummy shawarma check this place out. They have a ton of seating so it's always a nice option when you're with a group of coworkers or friends.

    Rude owner, threw the debit machine on the counter in front of me when I went to pay. Then throws my shawarma on the counter - wasn't happy at all.

    I had been on the hunt for a falafel sandwich because I had been craving one for days and couldn't find one on the bus route home from work. This isn't on the way but it's close enough. The staff were very friendly and I got my food fast, it was pricey for the size of it, I ordered a large and it was like a six inch sub for $10. I didn't order anything with it. It was okay tasting,  I will go back if I need to but still on the hunt so I don't have to go downtown and back.
