I live downtown but my wife works up in Vaughn near this place. A few of her co-workers had mentioned that this place is good so a while ago she decided to pop by and grab a couple of Shawarma wraps to bring home for dinner.
I have to say that I was very impressed and that's not too easy to do when it comes to Shawarmas as I have travelled quite a bit and been exposed to some great great shawarmas across Europe and the Middle East!
There are two key things that make the Wraps super great here. The first is a unique house made Mango sauce that they invented. I've never tasted anything like this at other places. The second key, and perhaps this only appeals to my big appetite, is that they serve HUGE Shawarmas! Their wraps are packed with lots of meat which is prepared to perfection and the experience is always pure joy.
I have only had equally huge wraps on two other occasions. In the Middle East ordering a Laffa Shawarma where their wraps are just as good as Pita Golden Pocket and at Dr. Laffa, here in Toronto, where their Laffa bread is admittedly amazing but their meat, sauces, and other ingredients are so mediocre that I've decided to never bother going again.
If you're way uptown, Pita Golden Pocket should be a guaranteed stop for you!
