Black Camel is a convenient sandwich shop located across the street from Rosedale station. If I'm on the hunt for a hearty, satisfying sandwich, this is usually one of my first stops.
Wait times may vary depending on the lineups, but the service is typically fast and friendly whenever I'm here. It's decorated nicely but they're definitely more of a takeout place. There's enough seating for a few people to be comfortable while others queue for their orders.
Must-try items:
Beef brisket (sandwich)
Pulled chicken (sandwich)
Butter tarts
I'm a big fan of the sandwich buns here, which are served with flavourful, juicy meat that feels like it was slow cooked for a whole day. You get a choice of 2 free sauces, and toppings like red peppers or red onions can be added for about one dollar each.
Half of the fun involves experimenting with the pairing of sauces (chipotle, charamoula etc.) and meats, so be sure to try them more than once before you make a final verdict. The sandwiches go for $7.50 and are well worth it.
