| - TL;DR: AMAZINGLY friendly service, generously stuffed wraps, fresh toppings, moist and flavourful meat. Eat here. Just do it.
I stumbled upon this hidden gem while browsing yelp and BOY, am I glad I decided to pay this place a visit. This place is hidden in an inconspicuous corner within a small collection of restaurants on Main Steet Markham and shares their space with a convenience store. I was greeted with big smiles from the owner; already making my day. Friendly, personable, and knows how to entertain as he prepares my food: that's my kind of service.
I decided to order a mixed shawarma wrap and shawarma poutine (didn't see this on their monitors but I knew it existed because of yelp pictures.) As he piled on the toppings, I started wondering whether he'd be able to close the thing because HE PILED IT SO HIGH and SO GENOROUSLY with all the very fresh toppings. Lo and behold, he wraps it and kindly explains how I should go about unwrapping it so as not to have everything fall out. I also asked for extra hot sauce as I always do with all my food and he didn't disappoint. He loaded on the sauces on both wrap and poutine while at the same time making it entertaining to watch.
The wrap was heavenly to bite into with the smokey grilled meat flavours exploding through the sauces and other toppings. As I ate, I was again amazed at how much filling he fit into that little piece of bread. Delicious, juicy, and not as messy as I thought it'd be despite the amount of sauce.
The shawarma poutine pales in comparison to the wrap but it was also delicious. He starts with fries, throws on the CHEESE CURDS and tops it off with loads of white sauce and of course, he didn't forget my extra hot sauce. Gotta have the sauce. Sauce makes everything better. I KNOW I'll be back very soon for a quick comforting bite.
