Flaming Stove was handing out free samples of their chicken shawarma a few days ago, at the corner of Yonge and Davisville. And let me tell you, that was yummy! So yummy in fact that we couldn't shake the thought of having more and returned two days later.
So first the reason I only gave it four stars: It's actually in the back of the Hasty Market, which made it kind of hard to find since we were actually looking for a restaurant. It's basically a glass counter where they sell ready made foods as well. I would never have tried the shawarma if it wasn't for the free sample a few days before! And there are only a few seats indoors, although they also have a patio for the summer.
And now to what made it awesome:
1. The service was fantastic, they were really helpful and great to chat with while waiting for the food.
2. It was probably the best shawarma I ever had! Four kinds of different sauces to choose from, and two different breads. The larger sized shawarma was surprisingly big and I had a hard time finishing it all in one go. It was just fresh and delicious and full of flavour, I honestly can't come up with a single bad thing about it!
We will definitely be coming back, although you can only get the souvlaki after 3 o'clock. Even writing about it makes me wanna go back...mmm, and try different combinations of sauce, and maybe the smaller bread this time...I think I know what I'm having for dinner again tonight :)
