★★★★★ Warm friendly staff, top quality ingredients, value for your meal. This is what you can expect at your next visit. Posted on November 5, 2021

★★★☆☆ I've been going to this place for years. Though there isn't really any space to sit and eat it's great for take-out food. The staff is funny and sincere, and the food is decent. These guys did a great job. Definately a must try. Plus, almost all the items on their menu are under $5! Posted on October 19, 2014

★★★★★ If you're going there for the shwarma you'll get great customer service too. Ibrahim is the man! You just need to voice how you want it (well done or medium). Been going there since '96 and still standing strong. Posted on July 13, 2014

★★★★★ Great shawarmas! Posted on September 28, 2013

★★★★★ pretty good value for money Posted on August 21, 2013

★★★★★ Always enjoy the food here. The owner is very courteous and a pleasant man. Been visiting this place for over 13 yrs. Posted on March 23, 2011

★★★★☆ Nice little takeout place. Owner is very friendly and the place is clean. I had a beef burger combo which was very good, the burger was grilled to pefection! I will be back for the chicken shawaramas. No clue why only "kids or teens would find it amazing Posted on November 7, 2010

★★★☆☆ Absolutely average. Kids & teens might find it 'AMAZING.' The reviews below are over 5+ years old. It's a take-out place. Posted on August 13, 2010

★☆☆☆☆ These reviews are fake! I saw the glowing reviews and went there to eat today. The owner is neither very funny or friendly, and worst of all, the food is below average! Seriously, I expected some super-sick shawarma after reading all these reviews, but I swear I could make a better one at home. The meat tasted so stale. There was absolutely nothing special about this place. I'm quite certain the enormous amounts of reviews about this place are fake. Just check out the number of reviews posted by "anonymous".

★★★★★ Very friendly staff. Ibrahim is always nice. Food is great. Posted on May 14, 2010

★★★★☆ Food was very good and owner is very nice. However place is small, it is for take away. Posted on April 22, 2010

★★★☆☆ really good shawarmas Posted on October 6, 2009

★★★★★ Amazing shawarmas and burgers/sandwiches. Awsome prices, consistently always well made. Posted on September 19, 2009

★★★☆☆ the shwarma is good but you wont be able to taste it with all the lettuce, tomato and cabbage in it. I know its good because i paid double once for extra meat. people who eat here dont know what a real shwarma should look like. Other than the lack of meat...its good...service is great! Posted on April 25, 2009

★★★★★ Delicious Shawarmas, fresh and crisp all over. Owner used gives out free soup during Ramadan, always tasty. Very friendly people, service is usually good until it gets busy in small cramped space. Masjid close by too, so can eat and pray quickly. Posted on March 18, 2009

★★★★☆ Good shawarma place. take out only. ppl are friendly. open late. Simply best shawarmas in the town. Posted on February 29, 2008

★★★☆☆ Good place great people. One bad rap they put very little meat or chicken on swarma compared to Farhat. Now you dont pay 4 dollar to eat lettus, tomato and parsley roll on Pita. Overall good place. Posted on November 7, 2007

★★★★☆ The shawarma roll is quite delicious. Place is best for takeouts only as there isnt much in way of seating. I didnt like shawarma on a plate very much as there wasnt much variety for vegetables but the shawarma roll is definitely delicious and worth it. They are way cheaper than other shawarma places too. Posted on September 3, 2007

★★★★★ Salaam... I think its the best arabic food!! keep up the good work!! you guys should think of expanding!! Posted on August 1, 2007

★★★★★ Amazing shawarmas,great prices!! Posted on June 19, 2007

★★★★★ Excellent Food! This is the BEST place for shwarama and burgers in all of GTA, hands down. The best is the double cheesburger! Posted on January 8, 2007

★★★★★ This is by far the best place for Shawarmas. I haven't tried anything but their beef and chicken shawarmas and they are both really good. The prices are good as well. Posted on November 16, 2006

★★★★★ The best Shawarmas anywhere! The service and price is great as well! Posted on July 14, 2006

★★★★★ Best Shawarmas in Toronto! Well, that I've had anyway, and I've had quite a few. They could really expand with a nice sitting area. Posted on May 5, 2006

★★★★★ We have been to many Middle Eastern take out/restaurants. El-sabils friendly service and delicious food makes it the best by far! Yummy in my tummy!... :p lol Posted on April 23, 2006

★★★★☆ The quality of food is very good and the customer service is really friendly. But I cannot say that these are the best shwaramas in the world or that I felt like I died and had gone to heaven. Still, worth the trip although you will have to order take-out, due to non-existent seating. Posted on April 9, 2006

★★★★★ I've literally tried almost every shawarma place in Toronto - and this place is the BEST! Posted on February 17, 2006

★★★★☆ good shawermas...take out only though - 4 stars Posted on October 7, 2005

★★★★☆ Very Good Grilled Shawarma. Definately worth a try. Posted on July 20, 2005

★★★★★ Hands down the best shawarma in GTA...there is simply no comparison!!! We don't mind driving 1 hour to eat the shawarmas in our car (because seating is limited)- because it's worth it! The only better shawarma I had outside of Saudi was at a Lebanese restaurant in Montreal. The owner and staff, are extremely funny and the cook is a pleasure to chat with. The burgers are great also, plus the price is very reasonable. I would recommend this restaurant to everybody who likes Middle Eastern food! Keep up the great work guys-you make the drive to Scarborough worth it!!! Posted on May 19, 2005

★★★★★ Salaam, I've only tried their burgers and fries, but I just wanted to say they're really good,and the prices are amazing. Posted on May 1, 2005

★★★★★ It's the best burger I've ever had:Huge, fresh, and deilicious. Best of all The owner is very friendly. During the month of Ramadan he gave all his muslim customers a Free home made soup and Dates to break the fast. God bless him. Posted on December 8, 2004

★★★★★ AAHh brother Ibrahim lol yea they got the best shawarmas....to bad they wont franchise ;) Posted on October 27, 2004

★★★★☆ Assalamalaikum. Beef shawarma is excellent, but they don't really have Chicken Shawarma. It's more like Chicken Shish taouk, but it still tastes great! Above all, the staff are very friendly and generous with the portions. Highly recommended. Posted on October 26, 2004

★★★★★ By the name of Allah. I ordered about 5-6 Shawarma sandwiches from here. Normally, all shawarmas taste the same, but for some reason, these tasted different. I think it might be the marinade. He did not make it the typical way, i.e. off of a rotating chunk of meat. He made the shawarma on the grill - maybe that explains the really different (and excellent) taste. What impressed me most, however, was that before the chef put each skewer on the grill, he would say bismillah. You gotta respect a brother who does that. Posted on October 3, 2004

★★★★★ Excellent Shawarmas and burgers, reasonably priced, Also very nice and friendly staff/owners. Posted on August 7, 2004

★★★★★ I was interested in this restaraunt after readiing all the good reviews on this web site. It seemed after reading the reviews that this may be too good to be true( maybe they were honking their own horn}, but i can assure all the synical people reading this that eveything that is written here is true and more....i look forward to trying all the items. What I was able to try were the beef shwarmas..... all i can say is amazing and at $3.75 your getting a great value. Posted on November 26, 2003
