Top 5 Middle Eastern Restaurant in Ontario

1177 Ritson Rd N, Oshawa, ON L1G 3V2, Canada

“This pita restaurant is one of my favorites. It's easily accessible with ample parking in the plaza. We have had the chicken and beef shawarma wraps so far. Their wraps are generally enormous in size and stuffed with fillings. My only complaint was that the sauces with additional charges weren't clearly labelled.. So during my first visit, I added two sauces and some pickled veggies that all had extra charges. Lesson learned (This has since been fixed and they're all clearly shown) The meat and sauces are all flavorful. They make an in house hot sauce that packs a punch. If you're looking to get a good bang for your buck, you'll definitely want to check them out.”

“Where do I begin? Perhaps that this place is worth the 2 hour drive. As someone who has to eat GF (gluten free) imagine my joy in finding a place that offers gluten free pita bread and they’re HUGE. They have all the other offerings too of course, not a small menu! I appreciate finding little spots that you know has regulars, and more than a few - that’s how you know it’s good. I recommend the Kofta - delicious place. Will be back again soon.”

“I recently visited this Shawarma restaurant and had a fantastic dining experience. The best part? The food was served quickly, there was no wait, and the ambiance was delightful! 😋 The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was prepared with care and bursting with flavors. 🤤Despite the quick service, there was no compromise on the quality or taste of the food. 🌯🧆 The deals are awesome and plenty of options too choose from the menu. Also, have Ice cream 🍦 parlour inside the outlet which is great for ice cream 🍨 lovers.”

“I went there for their Winterlicious menu. We ordered the following dishes: (appetizers) bissara, dokka; (main) koshari, hawawshi (we ordered both the beef and chicken/goat cheese); (desserts) bird nest konafa, konafa Canadiana. We also ordered their two available ice-teas (saffron and hisbiscus) First, the place is quite small. It has only about 8-9 tables. There is only one person in the front room serving everyone so the service can be a bit slow. It is not a problem if you don't need anything, but if you ask for anything extra, like more spicy sauce, it will take a while to arrive. Second, the food is quite good, but nothing special. It's not a place I would go out of my way to come back to. For the appetizers, one was a hummus-liie dip with 2 small pieces of pitas bread. The other was dry dip with 2 small pieces of pita bread. I felt that they were really stingy with the pita bread. The hawawshi is described as a burger but it isn't really, it's more like a calzone. The koshari tastes similar to a pasta/rice/chickpea salad. The konafas were ok. I think the bird nest one tasted better than the Canadiana. In sum, the food was enjoyable but not memorable. If I could give a rating of between 3.5-4 I think that's more accurate for me. As for the ice-teas, I wouldn't order them again and I do not recommend them. They tasted like low quality powdered drink of some sort. The saffron one had a weird taste, and not sure how I could describe it. My dinner mate said maybe plasticky. the hisbiscus one didn't have much flavour. I saw them take the drinks pre-made from the fridge. I doubt they made the drinks themselves. Also, they handed us the receipt before we even finished our meal, which I thought was a bit odd. We had late dinner so it wasn't like there was a lineup of people looking for a table.”

“We were in the area and decided to grab food here. I ordered the beef shwarma which I didn't like too much. The meat wasn't very tender rather chewy. My partner ordered chicken shwarma which he really enjoyed. The rice however was well undercooked. The staff were nice and hospitable.”

“My expectations were very low, but as always I go in with an open mind. I don't usually eat at specifically kosher restaurants so I don't have a comparison. That being said the food was pretty good, I ordered chicken kabobs, and a chicken …”

Aga Khan Museum, 77 Wynford Dr, North York, ON M3C 1K1, Canada

“This was my first visit to Diwan at Aga Khan Museum. We took a look online to find out there are 2 options: a) a set menu, b) a la carte menu. We chose the a la carte menu and ordered 1 drink, 1 appetizer, and 2 mains. The food tasted very good but the price was on the higher end in my opinion. The server was great and checked on us during our meal. There is a $10 parking fee at the museum.”

8707 Dufferin St, Thornhill, ON L4J 0A6, Canada

“Been coming here for a couple years now. It's my go-to whenever I'm looking for a chicken breast wrap (which I recommend). I've tried a couple of other things on the menu and while what I've had is average, I will give them that they give you large portion sizes. The cost per person is a bit pricey (but so is everything now a days). The girls at the counter are always friendly and provide customer oriented service.”

“I didn’t have high hopes for Middle Eastern food in a mall, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was authentic, tasty, and really great value as well. I ordered off the prix fixe and added a side of falafels. Really great portion sizes. Highly recommend the dips and falafels here. Really well done!”

“This is a take out place only. It very convenient as you can pick up your food quite quickly if you call ahead. We order for kobideh and joujeh along with a yogurt drink. The joujeh was very tender and tasty and the kobideh was good. Would order again and would recommend this dish.”

10 Hawthorne Rd unit #2, London, ON N6G 2H5, Canada

“Honestly, it's the best shawarma I've ever had. The wife and I have only had the chicken platter, but we've loved it every time. The owner makes everything fresh daily and is as hospitable as anyone can be. The portion size is the best around for the price, and everything is made in the house daily. My favorite garlic sauce was anywhere, and I had manakeesh for the 1st time on my last visit. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it was amazing. Also, they have the best hours for any restaurant in London. I'm heading there shortly, tbh lol 😆”

2219 Arch St, Ottawa, ON K1G 2H5, Canada

“Sometimes you forget to put up a review because you get very busy but I am aware that they do help small business so this is mine. We have lived on Arch st. since 2009 and are going to move in the spring this restaurant has been our go to as long as we've been here the food is always amazingly fresh the portions crazy big when ordering the family meals we always had enough left overs to enjoy the next day. I will very much miss being down the street. I'm sure even though I won't be as close I will sneak back from time to time. Thanks for all you do in our community and I wish this restaurant all the very best in 2024!!!!♥️”

“I tried the shrimp burrito bowl and it was really good! The last time I had one this good was at burrito boys, which is not available in Windsor sadly. But the shrimp burrito from this place was just as satisfying. Highly recommend!”
