Aug 10, 2026"Friendly staff. The gentleman was very patient with explaining the different options. I ordered the beef gyro and chicken shawarma mix street sandwich. It was still extremely tasty, specially the chicken was seared to perfection. Loved the hot sauce and garlic sauce as well. Wasn’t spicy but very flavorful. Also the quantity was very large. Worth the $8. Definitely want to try their Kofta sandwich next time, which is meatballs."

The shawarma was delicious, and they even offered us some fries to try. I was really surprised by the great service! I’m happy to explore new places to eat in Canada. I highly recommend it; it’s a very clean place!"

Jul 11, 2026"Update: I came back here and I changed my mind from 4 to 5 this time. They now accept credit card. The food is as good as my previous experience. The food deserves 5*. Few concerns: first, a dirty washroom with no towels; second, not accepting credit card. Baklava was good. Turkish was authentic. Shawerma Pide was something different than what I tried in Istanbul, but still it was good enough, especially the bread. The price is also affordable. Main food is on average less than 10$ and Tea is 2.5, Baklava the same. I come back here again if I revisit the district."
