The place is new and could still be trying to work out it's kinks, but this me va me express kitchen does not live up to its predecessors. We tried to ordered chicken shawarma and hummus and the beef skewer dinner and suffered a severe disappointment when told they had run out of chicken shawarma at 8pm on a Saturday night! Opting to just get the hummus and the beef skewer dinner, only the beef skewer lived up to expectations and were tender and juicy. The side salad and potatoes were adequate. The hummus tasted like it had been sitting out for too long and had developed a shell. Laffa bread cooked fresh on site comes with our orders but doesn't have the fluffiness that we had expected, and oddly did not even taste like it was freshly made.
The place is meant to be no frills with customers placing orders at the front then servers bringing the food to you similar to panera bread. Service was fine but like the food feels like the training wheels have not yet come off.
I might come back and try it again given some time, but for now, it's worth the longer drive to Bathurst and Steeles to go to the original restaurant.
