4.5!
I wish the DVP wasn't such a mental barrier to a west-sider like me; otherwise, along with Djerba La Douce, I would make this one of my regular hangouts.
I love me some good Turkish food, and this place has it. I shoved their tasty pide into my mouth like it was going out of style. Delicious.
Also, I agree with Mike G - the man behind the counter was great; so much so I kept going up and talking to him, which led to me leaving with a serving of their (I believe it was baked) rice pudding, which, from my years of consuming rice pudding, is one of the absolute best I've ever had. As I walked down the street shovelling it down, I was even tempted to return for more.*

This a nice little place a stone's throw from Donlands station. The interior is actually quite nice (for the price) and its a good place for a sit down meal. The food is excellent in quality and all meat and vegetables used are really fresh. I had the Chicken Pite (about 8$) and my friend has a massive chicken doner plate (probably one of the biggest plates of food ive seen ($9.90). Service was friendly although ours mains arrived at two different times, as they were cooking the chicken fresh for my friend (which was worth it)
We paid 30$ incl tax and tip for 2 mains, a salad, 2 yogurt drinks and a bottle of water, amazing value for money. I will definitely be going back there. My only problem with the place is that the menu is limited in terms of variety of dishes and there are no lamb dishes. -

Settled comfortably along the Danforth, across from a newly built Mosque is a new Turkish restaurant with unique flavors and selection.
I ordered the "pide", which is a type of Turkish pizza. Mine had thin slices of sausage and eggs as a topping, nicely spiced, and served with a side of slice tomatoes, lemon wedge and grated carrot.
Price: $7.99.
There are other dishes which I will soon try upon my return, and one of them is the famous Turkish "doner platter". Shaved meat from a spinning spit, with oriental spices, and accompanied by a healthy side of rice and raw vegetables.
They also serve Turkish coffee, and baklava...
What's interesting about this location is that it also caters to a busy high school rush of students, mainly opting for the doner wrap specials with pop for about $5.
A new addition to the many restaurants in Greek Town, adding more spice to the new look of the Danforth. -

Man, those are some tasty shawarmas.
The guy serving them - at least the first two times I went - is pretty much the happiest guy in the world, as far as I can tell. He chatted about stuff for a bit, gave me a free apple ("new customer! have an apple!"), and put exactly the right amounts of sauce and veggies in my chicken shawarma. I've been there a bunch of times again, already, and I just moved into the neighbourhood a week ago. The peppers they add (when you ask for everything) add some extra awesome. Five bucks, and it's right next door to the Only Cafe -- they're still a bit new (I think?), they don't even have a menu up yet, but I think they're going to do just fine.
There's also a really tasty spicy tomato-based soup - I had a sample, but I haven't had an actual bowl - and some chicken dish that they seem to be working on. And fresh baklava. Mmm. -
