    The bartender at The Mod Club Theatre, Lisa, told me the place was "really good" so me and my friend Ardith took a walk.  Thought I'm not writing much here about "Ghazale," I am here to say that it IS in fact "really good" and possibly one of the best.  Get the beets bizness on your falafel...real good for you and tasty.

    Great place for a quick meal with some protein!   They also have rice and beans you can throw in a container for a PSMM.  (Post-Show-Midnight-Meal)

    Ghazale has to have the best middle eastern sandwiches in Toronto.  YUM.  Although they have quite a limited menu, they make their limited selections amazingly well.  

    My favourite here is the veggie sandwich - packed with things like potato, turnip, deep fried eggplant, and the usual fixings (pickled turnip, lettuce, tomato, onions, etc.)  Even if you're not a vegetarian this is amazing.  I haven't tried the chicken schwarma or the beef schwarma but I have heard it is delicious.  No sandwich is over $5!  BARGOONS!  

    Also, they have wrapped the sandwiches in a way that ensures that it's not too messy.  

    Topped off with a mango juice and you're off to the races.  This definitely hits the spot any time, especially after a late night out.

    Their falafel's ($3.79) and shwarma's ($4.89) are very good and include tabouli (which other places charge an extra $1 for.)

    Not too keen on the microwave use, as Ali Baba's on Dundas fries their balls to order.  

    Combination plate of 4 items for $6.99 is also DELISH!  I don't know the name of anything, all I know is that it tastes GOOD.

    Baklava is also good too.

    Most satisfying dinner ever last night on so many levels.

    How could a simple falfel pita taste so good? You might ask.

    You wont after your experience here. Ghazele is a simple place, with nowhere to sit but outside or do take out, but wow, they really know what the hell they're doing. Customers flock back again and again for their consistently flavourful, delicious, Middle Eastern fare.

    Pita + humus + tahini + falafel + hot sauce + vegetables = love.

    Also ordered this vegetable plate, which included roasted eggplant with chickpeas and garlic, lightly steamed bulgar with almonds, fava beans (avoid if you have G6PD deficiency) and rice with lentil, onion and turmeric.

    I absolutely love Middle Eastern flavours.

    Avoid on a first date.

    Your probably not thinking Middle Eastern food when taking a stroll through "Little Italy".  But in the event that your taste-buds are craving something different,  I recommend that you give Ghazele a try.  

    Today I had the Combo Plate, Tender pieces of Chicken Shwarma, with Yellow Cauliflower and Potato Rice, 3 falafel balls, and Tabouli Salad.
    Comes with a Pita, and they gave me some hummus at no charge.

    Great value for your money.  And the food tasted very clean and delicious.  They even have a small patio, for people watching or catching some sun.  

    The place is very simple, the service very polite, the food very satisfying.  
    I will definitely be back.

    This place is all about value. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find so much flavorful food for so little anywhere else! Seriously, you will not be leaving hungry or broke. This isn't fancy "foodie", but it tastes fresh and it's always fast.  The service here is good and I'd be happy to return many times.

    There are numerous vegetarian options and the selection trumps your average falafel hut/stand by a mile.  Come here with a group of friends and order to share - you won't regret it!
