    Farhat is my quick and cheap meal if I'm heading out of Toronto. Two for one falafels are always my choice and I just ask for "the works" (although prepare for you and your car to reek of garlic the next day). Always friendly staff, but the whole process takes longer than making a sub, so be prepared to wait a while if you aren't first in line.

    Once I ordered four falafels and I think the worker mis-understood me and only made two. When I clarified, they didn't even break a sweat (despite the lineup) and seamlessly worked it in to their workflow with the other customers. You don't get that kind of service without a sneer at other 'fast food chains'. Top marks to the employees.

    The shwarma here are the larger ones.  While bigger in size, i think it lacks in toppings.  I don't know if i had to ask for the sauces or pickels, but they didn't go on it by default.  And those are my favorite parts of the shwarma.  I think there was too much onions and cilantro, it overpowered the flavors of the chicken and hot sauce...

    The best fallafels....made there, fried there, eaten there. It is a fast food small place at the east end of the Nasr Plaza. The same owners have a restaurant with the same name 3 doors down which is also awesome.

    Enjoy!

    Shawarmas.  I can't ever think of a time when I've had one that I didn't at least mildly enjoy.  It's just a really solid food item, often overlooked by the foodies.  The shawarms at this place are pretty fantastic, let's dig a little deeper.

    +++PROS+++
    1. It is damned good!
    2. Dirt cheap.  Two shawarms for $6.99.  That's a bargain folks.
    3. Selection includes lamb, nice.  They also have a spicy beef version.
    4. Everything is fresh
    5. The workers (a couple I presume) are super friendly, despite working like dogs during the lunch hour.  I think they deserve some sort of prize for this.
    6. I like it when people address me as "my friend," it really makes me feel at ease

    ---CONS---
    1. It's in Scarberia.
    2. Crazy busy during lunch hour.  You better hope the guy in front of you isn't ordering 15 shawarms for his coworkers.
    3. Limiting seating area -- most people take out though
    4. Selections are sometimes limited if you show up too late (if they sell out)
