    This is my favourite shawarma place in the city - I go here at least once a week. I typically get the beef wrap or the mixed plate (chicken and beef). Their rice is delicious on the plate. Their sides are really good too - I've gotten the kofta, the spinach spring rolls, and the zucchini balls - all really good (but ask for them heated up). The baklava and the lemon cake are also delicious.

    And the service is really good - though I go there all the time so they know me - I also see the way they interact with other customers and they seem attentive. They can get busy so you may have to wait in line for 5 minutes - but once its your turn they are very quick. They only accept cash but they have an ATM in the back.

    Sorry A La Turque. I kept my 4-star review up as long as possible, but I'm done with you now. You can keep my Mariah Carey CD, but please don't call me anymore. We're through and there's nothing you can do about it.

    Every time I go to A La Turque these days the chicken has been pre-cut and is waiting in a heating tray. The veggies are still decent, but not as fresh as when it first opened. The staff never leave the kebab on the grill for long enough. The prices have been increased. Everything is a lot more lax than it used to be.

    It's really a shame because there aren't any good doner/shawarma places in the area anymore. If you of you know about one, then let me know!

    I miss you....

      All I eat here is the chicken doner kebab because it's too good to stay away from. The veggies are… Read more »

    A bit of a doner downer...

    Hunting for new lunch spots, we wanted to give A La Turque a try.
    I had the beef doner kebob...
    * Way too many pickles
    * Flavorless meat  :(
    * It wasn't grilled nearly enough
    * Overpriced

    The zucchini and eggplant sides were sitting there cold, didn't look all that appetizing...
    They give you one super useless napkin..
    They brought us one styrofoam cup of water even though there was two of us...

    I ordered the feta-spinach roll for 80 cents.
    It was the smallest roll I've ever seen.
    I mean for 80 cents, I didn't expect it to be a monster.
    ...hey, size matters when you are hungry!

    Went here cause I was craving shawarma. I was looking for the garlic sauce I craved so bad but they don't have it. Aside from that the veggies kinda tasted funny to me. Overall my craving wasn't satisfied plus they only accept cash so I had to run to td to get some even when it was poring rain outside.

    been here a few times, since Im a local, but I dont think its that good. Their sandwiches fall apart, not super flavourful, not great value. I returned here recently to do a comparison, and I prefer Ghazale a block away.  Only had shawarma sandwiches from here
