| - This is a fairly new shawarma place in Meadowvale Town Centre. It's not located inside the centre itself, it's in the row of strip mall stores just beside the centre, in between the Popeye's Supplements, the Vietnamese restaurant, EB Games, and TheSource. You can sit and eat there, they have tables and have improved it a bit so you can go there for lunch though it still feels a bit like a take-out place.
The food....the shawarma wraps are good, I think they only have chicken wraps and not beef but they do have kabobs. The chicken wrap here is a bit distinct from the other ones I've head (mainly the 4+ in Streetsville). The reason is because they add a bit more of some type of seasoning to the chicken and also because of their garlic sauce. It has a very seasoned tomato type of taste, I can't really describe it. Most shawarma places use a garlic sauce which really improves the taste but they use a garlic paste which is a bit too strong and doesn't work as well. It is good though but not the best shawarma you'll have and not better than the Streetsville ones. The platters are also good but again, nothing special. The menu doesn't have a lot of variety, just the basic sides like rice and falafel.
The problem though is that the prices are slightly higher than the other shawarma places without the shawarma being better. You can usually get just the wrap for $5 or a wrap + pop and sometimes side for $5-7 at lots of other Mississauga places. Over here, just the wrap costs $6 and the plates are all above $11. They do however have some lunch specials for students like a $4 chicken wrap. The platter/plates have decent quantity and taste good but the exact same thing is cheaper at several other shawarma places. There's other food options in Meadowvale Town Centre but this is the only place that sells shawarmas. I'm fairly sure based on taste and the sauce they use that the shawarma has high sodium content so it's not unhealthy but not exactly a healthy or cheap meal to make going here on a regular basis worth it, more of a once in a while place.
