What to Order
Chicken Shawarma
This shawarma is a local favorite, praised for its beautifully caramelized chicken, crispy bits, and generous portions, often served with a delicious garlic sauce.
"The shawarma is beautifully caramelized and has plenty of crispy bits, the curry rice is the perfect comfort accompaniment offering silky smooth potatoes in a tangy curry sauce."

Donair Plate/Wrap
A highly recommended dish, the donair is noted for its legit, flavorful meat, often described as superior to many others, and can be customized with various toppings.
"The best wraps and donair I’ve had in the city."
Joey Beiglee

Baklava
This sweet pastry is a must-try, with reviewers raving about its taste and quality, often comparing it to childhood favorites.
"They have the best baklava I’ve had anywhere. It reminds me of eating Frosted Flakes as a kid."
Navraaj Sandhu
Garlic Sauce
A house-made condiment that perfectly complements the savory dishes, offering a fresh, dairy taste that cuts through richer flavors.
"Speaking of tangy the sauces are a must, the garlic sauce in particular had a wonder fresh dairy taste that cuts through the spicy (the hot sauce is really good) and perfectly charred grilled chicken."
