“They young gentlemen with the glasses up front made my life easy. Told him exactly what I wanted and how many mouths we are feeding.He didn't hesitate to run us a bunch of platters130$ fed 6 people well. 100000% would recommend to anyone“

“First time trying this place after finding it on Google maps and was pleasantly satisfied. It's a small booth in the farmers market so didn't think much of it but found the taste and texture was really good. The chicken shawarma was cooked well and sprinkled with seasoning that elevated the wonderful flavor on a bed of seasoned rice. The hummus was soooo smooth and delicious it actually spilled out of my take out container (boo), not thick and pasty. Wonderful owners, very cheerful and generous giving us free baklava for dessert. Will for sure be back for another meal!“

“First visit after Covid……and their Lamb Shish Kebab is still the BEST in town!3 decades and counting. This long standing Thornhill icon continued to churn out some of the best Middle Eastern charbroiled grilled meat skewers in town. A particularly scarce offering and favorite of mine is their cooked-to-order Lamb Shish Kebab, using Grass fed Ontario Lamb ( more delicate, sweet and less gamey than their New Zealand cousins ).Today, braving a late Spring snow storm, my son and I decided to go for a ‘ Grilled Lamb Feast ‘ luncheon. Before the arrival of the main event, we started off with a hot Falafel and Pita appetizer platter. Piping hot, light, airy, well seasoned and crispy, the most enjoyable aspect of this Falafel rendition was their surprisingly moist interior! A real delight to eat with both Tzatziki and Tahini dips.Our Shish Kebab Skewers of well charred, succulent, juicy and tender lamb morsels were masterfully cooked - rare as ordered. A touch of salt to elevate the overall taste profile and carnivores like myself was instantly propelled to ‘ Meat Heaven ‘!Service was most friendly and attentive.A most enjoyable, pleasurable and value-for-money meal, well worth the drive through inclement weather for!“

“Amazing food. Best Laffa and kebab“
