| - I love grills and middle-eastern foods.
Me Va Me used to be one of my favorite places, and the location on Bathurst and Steeles still is.
The Me Va Me up north is terrible. We went there three times, thinking that it was maybe teething pains at the beginning, but it was consistently just bla. Add to that the noisy acoustics of the place, and we decided to not go there again.
Fortunately, Hanna Shawarma across the street is great. Probably even better than the Me Va Me on Steeles.
Portions aren't as big as Me Va Me, but they are plenty big (each of us often has a bit to take home from the dinner plates).
We have been there a dozen times now, and except for one time, the food was consistently very good. Once, the lamb was undercooked (we asked for medium-rare, but got rare), and when we got it back, it was still undercooked. An off day for the kitchen, maybe, as the rest of our visits have been excellent.
Pickles can be better, but they are free, so doesn't matter.
Falafel is excellent, as is the humus. Pitas are just average.
Service is good, place is clean and looks good.
Also, even when there are a lot of people there (which usually there aren't), it's faily-quiet.
for the price, you can't really ask for more.
