A lebanese restaurant owner told me this is where he stops for food when he's in Toronto for afghani food. The location is in strip mall that's easy to drive by.
But wow... This place is a gem!
Don't let the humble surroundings or pricing fool you...My stylish downtown foodie friends devoured the dishes and I can't wait to go back.
The staff was great to explain the dishes for me. The pricing was amazing. I picked up a full dinner for 3 adults for only $35. And all of us had 2nd helpings. The meat was flavourful...definitely get the half chicken...glorious . They say its spicy but its heat is fine for most. The salad is a bit soggy and gross. But it comes automatically with the combos.
The atmosphere is lacking in decor so maybe better to get take out if you're picking on your surroundings. however the groups of interesting people...all ages and walks of life... Makes up for it. You feel like you've discovered a secret place in a far off land.
Definitely plan to wait for your order...20 min minimum. If you're doing takeout ,call ahead.
