| - I go here several times a month and the quality is consistently great. The staff are always extremely friendly and the food arrives quickly. The usual options are available like samosas and tandoori chicken, but they also have some less standard things like grilled quail and curry fish.
As others have mentioned, the price can't be beat, you will never pay even $10 for a filling, flavorful, fast meal. The homemade bread is excellent, always just a little crispy but still soft.
The place is a bit threadbare in appearance e.g. there is often cardboard on the floor during the bad weather and there are fake potted plants. They're not licensed so the drink options are just a few sodas or water.
Makkah is a little too greasy to ever earn a five-star rating, but for the price it's often the perfect weeknight option. They also offer big platters for parties which I'd like to try at some point.
There are lots of cheap takeout places on the Danforth - LOTS. Within a block of Makkah there is square boy, a turkish kebab place, various fried chicken places, Danforth Dragon, Danforth Pizza house, it's ground zero of cheap takeout on the east side. Yet Makkah thrives which suggests it's got something pretty good to offer.
