We waited 45 min in -16 weather but it was completely worth it. They served samples of the warm lentil soup to keep us warm while waiting, and the staff were super friendly and very competent. You can tell they take pride in their work.
We ordered the app platter, I highly recommend if you like dipping pita in an assortment of hummuses, babaganoush, and several others to add... then we shared the chicken sandwich, which reminds me of halal guys (56th and 6th in NYC) but ON CRACK. Both were delicious. Ask for the house made hot sauce- it is $10 to buy a small jar, and I took one home.
The seating is very limited, prepare to share tables. But the vibe is so authentic, the tiny resto covered with art, photos and memorabilia.
The americano was also on point. Def can't miss this place, it's a rare gem to be found in Toronto!
