If you ever want chicken over fries or rice? This is THE SPOT. If you are within 40 minutes of this place, PLEASE GO THERE. Authentic workers and authentic taste. The food is consistent and the portions are excellent. Whether you have the munchies or are just hungry, this will satisfy all your needs, with great prices and options.

Thank you! I will always be returning to this location!

Ordered for delivery - rice was overcooked and they pack the salad in the same box as the hot rice/chicken. Embarrassing and silly.

One of the best shawarmas in Toronto. The only thing they need to work on is their hummus. The hummus is pretty blend and almost tasteless. Except for hummus everything is great. Must try: Chicken Shawarma plate

Great people and quick service! The large shwarma fries with sauces were too oily for my taste that it gave me cholesterol overdose faster than a chinese buffet half way eating but it tasted really nice. Thats shwarma I guess.

Used to be very good. Older and regular workers are very good. New workers are untrained and absolutely useless and both quality and quantity of food is going down. Pita bread of my wrap smells because it’s not fresh and moreover why pay $12.50 for a wrap which doesn’t cover me for lunch.

Perfect spot in Toronto to have Shawarma. I ordered a chicken plate, and it was a mouthful of flavors. The chicken was perfectly tendered with a slight crispiness on the edges. I liked it because it does not have strong sauces. But I was a bit upset about the quantity, compared to price. Overall a good experience, definitely visiting again to try other tasty dishes

Ordered 2 large chicken shawarma plates through Uber Eats and had maybe the worst shawarma plate of my life, couldn’t get through half of one because the chicken was fatty and bland and the rice had a very strange taste. I normally don’t leave reviews like this but I’ve never tasted shawarma quite like this

I never leave bad reviews but this experience absolutely called for one. My brother and I ordered from here on Uber eats and they completely messed up our order. We each made special requests in the special instructions section on the app and they did not acknowledge ANYTHING. I literally wrote no turnips, pickles or tomatoes in my wrap and I got exactly that. My brother requested a mix of chicken and beef with hot sauce and his plate came with just chicken and absolutely no sauce at all. It was disgusting and frustrating. What if one of us had an allergy and wrote that in the special instructions just for it to be disregarded? This is IRRESPONSIBLE meal preparation and terrible customer service to disregard someone’s meal preferences in their order. It is insulting how much money we spent on the entire order just to not enjoy it. BEWARE OF ORDERING FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT ON UBER EATS. They will NOT complete your order properly.

So underrated! Got this recommendation from a friend of mine! There is no parking but I parked in the tim Hortons parking lot nearby. It’s a 20 -60 second walk. Really clean and their chicken fries are so good. I kept a portion for later and it was still really good!

The chicken fries I had was exceptional. Packed with flavour in every bite. They serve good size portions which shows they value their customers. I recommend this Shawarma spot and I look forward to returning here.

Walked in looking for something quick to eat. Three workers present with one busy helping a customer and two talking to each other. Not once was my existence even acknowledged when I walked or asked what I would like to order. After 7 minutes of being ignored, I began to walkout when I was finally told to stay and they would help me. Still left, terrible customer service skills.

Seems nobody wants to take customer order? 3 employees just doing their own thing and not even saying anything to me (customer). I waited for 3 mins. I wanted to buy something but nope. I guess they dont want my business. Well guess what. You guys got competition now, I simply went to NJOY Shawarma on Dufferin. That place food is much better anyways.

This place used to be the spot, the quality and service has dropped so hard. The chicken is so bland and dry, the service is so much worse. Decided to give this place another chance, ordered via Uber Eats, half of it was thrown out.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST SHAWARMA IN BARRIE!
Super taste amazing flavors! I love all the sauces! Crazy Authentic taste! I would recommend the mix Shawarma plate, a great combination of meat and your choice of sides, i get all side options because they are all spot on! Very very generous portions. Professional and knowledgeable Staff and they really know how to take care of their customers. If you are in the Barrie area or passing through on your way to Wasaga Beach and on Bayfield St.then Taste of Shawarma is a must! I'm glad to have found such a great place and am happy to be a regular customer now and for years to come! Thanks again for another wonderful dinner.

Picture it: the snow storm of March 2023, with thunder and lightning (why not?). Here I was, having made an order for pickup and no operational buses or any form of vehicle to take me there. Just my luck.thankfully, a quick call and the amazing gents working there reassured me that they would wait past their closing time, so that I could pick up my order.
Twenty five harrowing minutes later, I walked in like a snowman. I returned home with the most fragrant bag. The portions were amazing, the Chicken Shawarma plates were so tasty, I will definitely be going there again.

Absolutely my favorite shawarma spot in Toronto! Food is always fresh to order and the taste is amazing. The chicken is soft but also there are crunchy bits of it due to the roasting that makes it so good. The sauces and toppings are very tasty as well. Great customer service too!

Ordered the Beef plate. Over cooked dried up pieces of beef extra crunchy, just terrible and so disappointed. Obviously they don't care about the customer, just pushed out the old meat on a take out order. Not even worth 1 star.

Nowhere near as good as it used to be. Super nice guys working. Got falafel for first time. Not good. No taste. Not cooked thoroughly as every other restaurant does. Trimmings were all nice and fresh but who cares about that if the main ingredient is not good. Tried fries - bag of supermarket frozen that were awful. Lots of other places to try next time.

One of the Better flavoured chicken shawarmas ive tasted. Been here 6x. I usually get the chicken shawarma plate, you have a choice of white or brown rice, and your choice of toppings on the salad. Their portions are big, id say theyre pretty generous with the toppings. They do not charge for extra sauces and toppings, well, in my experiences. Customer service is always great, theyre all very nice and works fast. Reasons why I gave 4 stars is that they did forget my salad dressing multiple times before with my take out orders, the hummus tastes bland, and I also tried their beef shawarma and did not like it. The texture of the beef is different from what im used to and didnt really have enough flavour for me. Nevertheless, the chicken tastes great.

I went with my wife and she felt bad and I also felt bad for the service of the guys who work there, they were looking at her with no respect and speaking a strange language loudly and laughing as if the customer was a clown or if she was an object. Food is great.

In my opinion the best shawarma place in Toronto. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap. The quantity is great with really good chicken and delicious sauce. I’ve never had better shawarma ever before. Would recommend to everyone

Disgusting! Ordered chicken shawarma plate, it was tasteless and chicken was full of cartilage. Also ordered the beef shawarma. First time in my life a beef shawarma is made with ground beef, and not only that, the quality was very poor. I don't know how this place is open as the food is garbage. Employees don't pay attention to details either, I asked for sauce on the side and extra hummus and of course they didn't follow these simple instructions. Stay away from this place if you can!

I always see this place busy and I usually get lots of pick up to deliver.today I finally got the chance to try a chicken dinner and it was very delicious, fresh and very good portion.definitely I'm coming soon to this place.the staff was really friendly and nice.so one of the best place to eat shawarma!

This place is incredible!
So I walk in at like 10pm there are three working, the meat was roasting and smelling great, the topping at the bar are fresh and fully stocked. Presintation is everything and these guys got it right. Mind you this location is in the middle of almost no where and this late at night they probably don't get that much foot traffic, but that doesn't stop these guys, smells like integrity to me. Amazing!
Oh I didn't tell you the best part yet. The food was delicious! So much flavour. Honestly I was blown away.
This is a Shaworma.
Don't take my word for it.
Try it yourself!
