Key Feature: Two Falafel for 4.99 on Mondays and Fridays
The Empire may not look like much from the inside, and the bathrooms - entrances to which are partitioned by sheets hanging from the ceiling - may remind you of your college days. But, it's the food that matters. It's the food that counts.
Having wandered through Toronto trying to find the perfect Falafel, I feel my quest may have ended at The Empire. Now, it's possible better food may exist. There's always a better place - but, here, right now, The Empire is keeping me happy.
Mondays and Fridays you can get two Falafel for only 4.99. And these are not the small Falafel sandwiches you might end up with at run of the mil chain stores. Each one of these is a meal onto itself.
If you walk in with a friend, and you both want the double deal, make sure you specify it. Normally they assume people are sharing one order of two. This is the only downside. And it's easy to overcome.
Ask for extra pickled turnip, and you will not be disappointed.
