    Just got back from having a chicken kebob wrap. It was so fresh and so clean, clean.

    I just realized all their menu items are taxes in. 5 bucks for a deliciously sort of healthy meaty wrap? yes plulease.

    I have been living a less than five-minute walk from this place for over four years, but missed out on it for about half of that time. It is no secret that Toronto has an abundance of Middle-Eastern cuisine, but that is no excuse to have waited so long to go and have a falafel at Arabesque.

    And unfortunately, that is pretty much all I have had. Blame the convenient nature of the dish itself, or the delicious nature of the way that he makes it, but whenever I get in there, it (my need for a falafel) overcomes me. The sauce has a particular tang to it, which is unique from most others I've tried, and I think is the result of a lemon-infused hummus. It also has black olives on it, which I'm pretty sure are not typical of every falafel joint, but I can't even remember, because I haven't- seriously- had one from anywhere else in so long. Oh, and did I mention that they are only $3.50? To get so full on less than five dollars is nothing short of miraculous.

    The first time I went in there, the very kind and gracious owner offered me a free piece of Baklava with my meal; it was also delicious (ok, so I have also tried that), and I was won over by the taste and the gesture. The coffee is also exceptional, flavoured with Cardamom and always longed-for at that time of morning when Starbucks is the only place open.

    Very nice unique place - a good place to relax.  For a small cafe they have a very wide variety of treats and middle eastern snacks also a very small "grocery" section (ie- a few shelves) with some decent finds (ie-good place to get zataar).  The prices are really low and the owner and staff are super friendly and helpful.  kebobs are solid and healthy.  The "blood of pigeon" is also pretty cool and different.  As far as cafes go, this place scores high.
