I've been going to Me va Me for ages - since the original opened in my old stomping grounds at Bathurst and Steeles. After trying their new express locations, I have to say that the restaurant is nowhere as good as it was years ago.
The Markham located is definitely the worst one I've been to.
Ordered the Falafel plate and a plate of hummus with roasted mushrooms.
Firstly, the falafels arrived 10 mins before the bread and the hummus. By the time the hummus and bread arrived, the falafels were cold.
Let the owner know and he was nice enough to remake the falafels but an explanation that falafels take less time than the hummus with mushrooms. Unlikely - but ok.
So after another 10 mins, all of the food we ordered was on the table. No side plates so had to walk up to the front to ask for some side plates. Express I get it but side plates. So simple.
The Falafel itself wasn't great. While the outside was nice and the inside was undercooked. That tells me that the oil they're using is probably not super fresh.
Hummus itself was good but why they pour tons of olive oil on it is not understood. A little bit fine but it's doused.
Grilled mushrooms were great.
Asked for a take out box and the guy who was spraying down the table beside us with cleaner forgot. I can blame him though as his boss was claiming around in the air shouting at this poor seventeen year old kid.
Nicely reminded him and he was apologetic
Music though is awesome.
