| - This little shawarma place opened up in my hood. Instantly, I was worried, since that spot seems to be a bit of a cursed location. Then seeing the sign go up, I was skeptical. It just seemed a little too Scarborough - no disrespect and big up yourself eastside! Still, this area is gentrifying fast, so I was a little worried considering it didn't have nearly the panache of its immediate neighbours... to the east side. Regardless, yesterday we thought we'd grab a quick shawarma on a miserable day... and I'm glad we did!
Gotta say, I like shawarma but more times than not I'm left underwhelmed. Firstly, I cite the stale pita. Secondly, the gristle in the meat. Thirdly, the fact that sometimes the sauces soak into the stale pita leaving the rest dry. I am happy to report that NONE of these apply to Pita Mio. There wasn't a ton of meat, but the quality was excellent, and the fresh toppings totally made up for it. For around $7 or something, two shawarmas made two meals for me... so no one can every question the value. I think I even enjoyed the leftover portion more which says a ton!
Honestly, it was damn tasty and I will absolutely return. It's a big space in an area that's slowly defining itself, so I think they've set themselves up for a battle. If you're in the Queen and Broadview area and need some solid, cheap eats, I say please support them!
