★★★★★ Best Shawarma joint I'm GTA, I dare anyone to find a tastier shawarma anywhere in Toronto. If you're a Seinfeld fan then this place is like the soup nazi but we call him the "shawarma nazi" lol, they have a system in place and they will not mess up your order no matter how busy. Small takeout place with a couple small tables for eat in, can't beat fresh so have one right away. A must try! Please like my review after you try it and love it. Posted on May 3, 2016 |

★★★★★ This little hole-in-the-wall, serves amazing Palestinian Shawarma's, and that's it. They really dont aim to provide decor, or drinks or extra offerings. Parking is a little tight, but still worth the effort. The best Shawarma's in the area. Posted on February 20, 2019 |

★★★★★ Best chicken shawarma in the GTA. They use smaller pitas but you can buy 2 for the price of a regular sizes one. Always fresh and always delicious.
Be warned they are CASH ONLY. No interac, no credit card. Posted on June 22, 2014 |

★★★★☆ amazing shawarmas, their usp is the hot gravy they add which is very close to the Indian spicy tomato gravy. Meat is always fresh and tender, found the beef to be tastier. Must try for the Shawarma lovers, just one block away from Victoria/Lawrence intersection. Posted on May 19, 2014 |

★★★★☆ Best spicey shawarma in Toronto. What sets them apart from everyone else is their spicy gravy they put in top, its not too spicy but it has a nice taste to it that compliments the meat.
Only issues, is they have long line ups (waited 25 mins before i ordered) , they don't except any card transaction, only cash. They don't do phone orders, as in order over the phone and pick up. Very small dining area. And a huge issue is that they don't used gloves while handling the food. Some of them had hairy and sweaty knuckles.
But even with all it's flaws its still one of the most busiest halal fast food joints in scarborough and its arguably the best tasting shawarma i have ever eaten. They should franchise. Posted on May 30, 2013 |

★★★★★ My husband and his friend like this place a lot. The food is good the seating is a small area but that is part of the good atmosphere I understand. Not to pricey either. Posted on March 19, 2013 |

★★★★★ Recently tried this Empire as I've long been a customer of another restaurant in the area. I'm surprised it's not reviewed - whenever I've passed by there is always a line-up!
We had the chicken shawarmas here and they were delicious! One order includes two sandwiches and is more than enough for one person. It's PACKED with meat (seasoned just right) and toppings and their special in-house sauce is one of kind! We loved it! Will be back very soon.
One last thing: the restaurant is fairly small and basically meant for take-out. If you're going during lunch/dinner time, be prepared for a short wait while the guys behind the counter work feverishly to prepare everyones order. Posted on January 14, 2012 |
