“Really great experience at Shawarma Dubai. We came in and tried the shawarma bowls, and honestly for $12.99 it was a great value. The bowl came with rice, chicken, and a fresh salad, so it actually felt like a full meal and not just a small portion. The chicken had great flavour, the rice was good, and everything tasted fresh.
The sauce was definitely one of the best parts. It had amazing flavour, and they were generous with it, which I really appreciated because it brought the whole bowl together. A lot of places either barely give you sauce or the food ends up feeling dry, but this was done really well. The portion size was solid, the taste was great, and the price made it even better.
We also tried the shawarma wrap, and it was very filling. It was packed nicely, tasted fresh, and I actually couldn’t finish the whole thing because of how much food there was. That is always a good sign.
Overall, the food was great, the service was good, and the atmosphere was nice. For the price, flavour, freshness, and portion size, I would definitely recommend this place. I’d happily come back again.”

“Our first visit was this past Saturday. The Braised Hanover Pork Steak was the biggest surprise of the night—tender, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. It’s not something I would usually order, but it completely won me over and is now a must-have for next time. The arancini balls were the perfect starter. A great way to begin the meal. The salmon special was equally delicious. We will be back again.”

Her friendly behaviour and quick service made the visit even better. She greeted me with a smile and made sure everything was just how I wanted. It’s always nice to be served by someone who genuinely cares about customers.
Thank you, Pawan, for the wonderful service! 😊”

“Great place for real quality gelato. I came by for the first time in August last year on my birthday. I was initially disappointed they didn't have any matcha flavour (something I'm crazy for in just about anything) at that time, but the Strawberry Margarita I ended up getting was absolutely amazing. I've had a couple others since which were also delish as well. Plus, I just love that they have a good assortment of flavours that are interesting and fun. So many flavours and always something new. I'm also not a fan of chocolate in general so it's nice to find somewhere with a good selection that includes plenty of flavour options where it's not one of the ingredients. However, they do still have plenty of flavours that do have chocolate for those that do enjoy it making plenty of options for everyone's personal preferences. I don't live in Kingston, but love to drop in every few months when I happen to be in the area. Might I suggest maybe a mango or lychee flavour for the future? My 2 favorite fruits. 😋🍦”

So nice to have that calibre of Lebanese and Syrian cuisine in Kingston. Portions are generous, super fresh food and always very friendly staff to help.

“I recently visited Subway, and I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and flavorful everything was! The first thing that stood out was the clean, welcoming atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. Simran took the time to listen to what I wanted and prepared my sandwich exactly to my liking.
The bread was soft and warm, and the veggies were crisp and fresh — you can really taste the difference. I chose a turkey sub with loads of spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a bit of chipotle southwest sauce — the flavors balanced perfectly. What I love about Subway is the ability to customize everything, from bread type to sauces, making it easy to eat healthy or indulge a little when you want.
The prices are reasonable, especially considering the portion size and quality. It’s also a great quick option whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or sitting down for a light meal.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend Subway if you’re looking for fresh, customizable, and tasty sandwiches. Consistently good food and friendly service make it a dependable choice!”

“My son and daughter in law were recently married at our home. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Go Italian and their catering service and in particular Jess. They arrived and quickly quietly and efficiently. They made the who experience so relaxing and easy. The food was piping hot and so flavourful. We had four dinner options and each one was as tasty as the others. The guest loved the food! What impressed me the most was Jess’ attention to the food accommodations of the guests with allergies. These dishes were prepared first so there could be no cross contamination. She personally delivered the to the specific guest and I had no concerns at all that each of these guest receive dinners that were safe for them. It was a load off this Moms mind! Lastly, they left the way they arrived quietly, efficiently and professionally. They left enough food in containers for the bride and grooms families and the wedding party to feed their families the day following the wedding. My kitchen was left cleaner than it was when they arrived! Five stars really isn’t enough to rate our experience with Go Italian catering.”

“I have been to the University Tavern 3 times and had 3 different meals and every one was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this patio, it is such a great place to sit and hang out with friends or family or your children. The waiters are extremely friendly and provide great service. Prices for the meals and appetizers are great. I will definitely frequent this place a lot and introduce many people to this great establishment.”

“Loved the sushi, the staff, and the atmosphere! I came here for a date, and it ended on such a memorable note—the waitress asked if it was our first date, which led to a really sweet and fun interaction. We ordered the black dragon roll and the sushi bento, and both were absolutely fresh and delicious!”

“We dined here on the evening of the World Cup semifinals and the food, service and atmosphere was great. Lots of big screens to be able to watch the game, pool tables and bowling. Our group was in Kingston for a soccer tournament and we had a large group of hungry teenage soccer players. The servers Katie and Dayna did an amazing job ensuring our orders were taken care of perfectly and delivered with a smile. We were in and out by 7:30pm. Would definitely recommend.”

“Mamma Mia's pizza was absolutely the best pizza I've ever eaten in my life. It was delivered with a smile on time and hot. It was for an 89-year-old birthday party at Providence Care Hospital and it brought a lot of smiles to the birthday girl especially with the double bacon, her absolute favourite food. Thank you Mama Mia's for the quality ingredients and for the care you put into making your food. It was delicious!! We will be back.”

“Pleasantly surprised. In our family, birthday venues are chosen by the individual whose birthday it is - even if no one else wants it. I had even tried to dissuade him, particularly after the reviews I had read. We had it delivered, within the expected time, by a sweet elderly gentleman. The food was wonderful. The food exceed ed expectations. The quality of the ingredients, always a pet peeve - whether it's the freshness of the veggies, the quantity, or the quality of the meat. Definitely not a problem with this order.”

Our waiter, Brett, offered to have the main on two plates, which came beautifully presented for each of us. Other staff members stopped by.

She handled my order quickly and accurately, even the store was busy. Her positive attitude and warm smile really stood out and made my visit enjoyable.

Brewery • $$
“The food, beer, service and atmosphere was great!! The bathroom was disgusting. Men and women should not share a bathroom. Sorry to state the fact that men are disgusting when it come to hitting the toilet bowl. The floor in the stalls was covered in urine which ended up on the bottom of my shoes. You never see this in a ladies washroom.”

“Simply the best Shawarma in Kingston. The flavours remind me of my favourite shawarma place in Ottawa (ARZ) which is now closed. So nice to have that calibre of Lebanese and Syrian cuisine in Kingston. Portions are generous, super fresh food and always very friendly staff to help. Customer service seems to be ingrained in each one of the team. HIGHLY recommend. (Got a 4.99 bowl of lentil soup this time as well….wont be the last time!)”

“I love this spot! The service is always exceptional, especially from Mike
However, the menu has recently changed which leaves a lot to be desired -- the Blarney chips & deep fried pickles shouldn't have been cut!! Those were my favourites!!
Also, the front bathrooms could really use some TLC -- no hand soap dispenser in the ladies room for several weeks & it always smells...”
“Flavorful and delicious burritos. Both the tofu and the adobo chicken tasted great And they're very satisfying!! Great value for the money and wonderful service and atmosphere. Malhar ans Shirish were very attentive to our order and made us feel very welcome... We will definitely return!”
