I ordered a platter for three today and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The kebab and chicken were both burned, the potatoes tasted old, and the rice portion was very small. The biggest issue was the quality of the meat, which did not meet expectations at all. I purchased this meal for a family new to the city for iftar, and they were genuinely excited, so it was frustrating when the food did not reflect what we hoped for. It felt like a waste of money, and based on this experience, the food quality seems much better only if you dine in and monitor the order closely. I hope the restaurant improves consistency and pays more attention to take-out orders.

This is not your average Jerusalem Shawarma. I tried to stop by the other day but it was so busy I couldnt even find a parking spot. I guess being open late on a weekend is like that though. Today I found a spot and im glad I tried again. I think his name was Shaif? Was super friendly and personable. You can really tell he cares about his craft above and beyond. I went in to try a donair poutine on my buddy's recommendations and although I missed my veggies it was still a super awesome twist on a Canadian classic. Middle Eastern meats with fries, cheese curds and gravy. It was pretty great and it came in a large bowl that I probably could have shared haha! P.s. the non alcoholic drinks are fantastic! 10/10 would recommend.

Tonight was amazing! We enjoyed delicious seafood prepared by Jerusalem Shawarma, along with sushi dessert(as in photo), and refreshing cocktail (in photo). The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this place!

I really like the breakfast here. The variety and flavor of the products are excellent. The pastries are delicious. I think a Turkish lady makes them. Maybe that's why she felt they were so close to our palate and delicious. But regardless, they were excellent. I also want to thank you for your hospitality. I'd like to offer a little advice. The stuffed vine leaves used to be very good, but lately, I haven't been enjoying them as much. I recommend reconsidering the stuffed vine leaves.

Food was incredibly fresh and the service was great. We watched a World Cup game as well and the environment was fun. They passed out free Tea to everyone which was a very nice touch. Shout to Nadeen for the great customer service!

Order the falafel too

It is made fresh rather than frozen, so it is worth having alongside the shawarma rather than skipping straight to the wrap.
