This was my first shawarma experience and Toronto. I used to frequent this spot every week, but now that I'm rarely in the area I don't get a chance to go here. This place makes a great chicken shawarma and a great falafel sandwich. I particularly…More »

I often stop at this location for a late night schwarma. Last night I was greated by a very friendly server behind the counter. I just grabbed a couple chicken schwarmas with all the toppings, including the spicy sauce, because it's a must.

Found out about this place last summer when I was living close by and I fell in love with the cheap beer and food.

They have a great patio, I've never sat inside. Every time I've gone I've always managed to find a spot on the patio. While the chairs…More »

Biryani House opened at this location several months ago. The location has changed over several times so I was hesitant to try it. That being said, after passing by on several occasions I figured I should give it a chance.

I had already eaten dinner…More »

Love this place!

From the moment you walk in this place has you hooked! (That is if you like the smell of BBQ).

This place is very reasonably priced. They do a very good pulled pork and beef brisket. I've had both and I can't decide which I like…More »

Whenever I go out for Pho I always end up ordering the same thing, which…More »

Sushi in Toronto (6)

While I do not claim to know everything about sushi, I have tried my fair share of sushi both in the city and abroad.
