    great little turkish restaurant in high park area. their shawarma is delicious (although it is not the authentic turkish doner). but I would recommend digging a little deeper in the menu to appreciate this place. you can get a shawarma anywhere :)

    the mersin kofte is brilliant and is definitely the real thing.

    if they have it, make sure to order a few "sigara borek". i love how they make it here.

    and also, somedays they'll have "guvec" as a special. don't miss it if they made it. it's Turkish beef stew in a clay pot, done wonderfully here.

    it's also a great family that is running the place. oh also, they deliver!

    A new restaurant on the Bloor St West strip near High Park. This clean and bright space brings mediterranean food to an area that can use it. I particularly like the beef or chicken Shawarma. The Tabbouleh
    salad  is great , just as is the lamb shish kebab.  This family-run business is friendly and it's a welcome addition to the Bloor By -the-Park  BIA.

    Super friendly guys, amazingly average food (the tabouleh hadn't "mellowed" yet and had no lemon flavour in it at all and the shawarma was just OK) but the kicker here was the big black hair in the greek salad. Sorry guys, you need some beard guards or something...

    It's always a treat to check out places that, like mushrooms, seem to have just sprung up from the ground.  Barely two months in business, Marcin is already making for a new and welcome addition to the High Park area.

    Emin Kocacinar's dishes feature all the Mediterranean staples that you'd likely expect, including various kebabs/kabobs, shawarmas, hummus, falafel and the like.  But what I didn't expect was their Turkish focus, featuring cigar rolls (potato or cheese with herbs and spices in Phyllo), the iconic Turkish coffee, and the unique choice to offer Sarikiz brand fruit sodas.   Ditto for its racks of Medi treats such as baklava, kadayif (that's baklava made with shredded dough instead of Phyllo), and pistachio and coconut rolls.  

    Leziz!

    Really warm friendly atmosphere, very bright and clean.  The food is amazing.  I've had the chicken shawarma, tabouleh, lamb shish kebabs, baklava, and the pistachio rolls.  Everything was delicious and fresh.  The veggies are varied and plentiful, lots of options for the finishing touches on your meal.

    If you order a dish for take-out that requires some preparation time, they give you lovely Turkish tea to sip while you wait.

    I am looking forward to trying out a lot more dishes on the menu!

    So was a little skeptical at first to try this place because I pass by here often and it never seems all that busy. Inspite of it I walked in and ordered their lentil soup and skewered Lamb Kabob Shawarma. Sat down and at first bite I was soo glad I didn't let my skepticism stop me. First off the Food here is amazing!! the veggies were fresh and my shawarma was loaded to the brim. they don't charge for tabbouleh and their veggies weren't wilted r dry like alot of other places. The soup could have been a little hotter but it was good nonetheless. They had a big tv on the wall and were playing the leafs game that night - another big plus!  The service was amazing the lady and man kept asking us if we wanted hot tea, Think they must be the owners of restaurant. Wonderful experience, definitely will be stopping by again to try everything else!!!
