| - Recently, I haven't been compelled to write reviews, as things have kind have fallen into a line of mediocrity wherever I went.
This is definitely not the case for this restaurant. And I attribute this find to pure luck.
When I first came in I had rather low expectations... A rather run down hole in the wall in a ghost town of a mall, heavily outdated decor... And a sign boasting you'll become addicted? Needless to say I took this as a challenge to come out a non-addict.
I am happy to announce that I have failed that challenge.
I have been here but 2 times, but each time has left me wanting more. (I write this review as I eat their food...goes to show the tastiness in their food.)
Their chicken platter is bar none, the best in Mississauga...or at least to me. I'm not so much a middle eastern expert as others but I can definitely say I would choose this every time if offered here or osmows, or lazeez.
Being a small mom/pop shop, their service is a little slower, but always done so with best quality. Too many middle eastern franchises have become a automated machine, with 0 effort towards customer service.... And this was a nice change of pace.
As for the food, from what I've had, I'd easily give it a 10/10. The chicken is extremely flavourful. And actually comes straight from the spit! Lots of nice crunchy roasted bits add to the flavours. The Touum(garlic mayo) is easily the best I've ever had. I will make sure to always order extra of this on my food. The rice was nice and light but still provided good flavours to go along with the chicken. And the salad is awesome as well.
All in all, this is a DEFINITE try. If you're tired of your regular chicken on the walks, and being verbally assaulted while waiting for said dish, give this place a go. Just like the sign, I promise you'll be addicted!
