| - You know what irks me more than horrible restaurants? People who are so easy to please that unless they are physically molested by the chef, they're likely to give 3-4 stars to any and every establishment! It is as if they just got out of prison. Or they were born without taste buds, or ... I dunno... I give up.
If you're looking for this place, start at yonge and dundas. Walk south on the east side of yonge until you are hit in the face with the pungent smell of fremented hobo urine. That would be your clue for the entrance to this establishment. At least that was the case during OUR unfortunate visit.
If you order tabouli, despite my rantish "tip", you deserve what's coming to you. Take my advice, and order the manakeesh. Service staff is rather belligerent, and shawarma is off tasting (just like the salad and the pickles.)
The only redeeming part of the whole dining experience is the fluffy right out of the oven pita breads that they bring out to your table. But if you're expecting a bit of olive oil to go with that, you got another think coming. Better smuggle a little bottle in, because dry pita bread is no fun while you wait long and hard for your disappointing and ultimately disgusting shawarma plate.
Any middle eastern place worth its falafel serves fresh pita with olive oil and zaater. But not this one. Though every palate free torontonian keeps handing them out 4+ stars like 4 stars are going out of style.
0 stars!!! Next time I'm just gonna go to jimmy the greek. or any other non descript shwarma place, because it is going to be just as disappointing, if not way way less so.
