Hamov shawarma & Grill — Restaurant in Toronto

The chicken shawarma wrap here is a must try! What makes this place stand out is their attention to detail. Let me explain how they do all the little things that most places often overlook. I just can’t promise that your mouth won’t be watering by the time you’re done reading this!

First, they start with cutting the chicken fresh off the rotisserie spit and throwing it on to the flat top which gets you some nice crispy bits, but also makes the chicken nice and hot in the wrap. No precooked chicken being scooped out of a hot steamer tray here lol.

While that’s frying away, they start to prepare the wrap starting with this uniquely thin, but surprisingly sturdy wrap. No need to worry about a messy dripping wrap falling apart half way through your meal.

Next, the hummus and veggies are thoughtfully spread evenly throughout the wrap, so you don’t find yourself eating all the tomatoes in your wrap after only two bites into the thing lol.

Then, the sizzling chicken gets placed generously on top of the veggies. Followed by a beautiful drizzle of the typical shawarma garlic sauce, tahini, and hot sauce.

Not done yet though…the wrap is then carefully and properly wrapped to ensure it holds everything together. It’s not like some other spots that just rush and mindlessly roll it into a paper wrapper without any thought.

Last, but not least, the wrap is put on the flat top and flattened ever so slightly so that more of the wrap gets toasted. This is done on both sides of the wrap, and it gives it a beautiful crisp texture to bite into! It took more time to prepare, but it is really worth the wait!

I know I’m only talking about a chicken shawarma wrap here lol, but it honestly was really good! I have Johnny (hope I spelled that right) to thank for the great first time experience. Really friendly and welcoming guy, always looking to make sure his customers are well taken care of. Look forward to coming...

This was a great experience considering that I don't have shawarma very often. My buddy and I had a mixed chicken and beef wrap with fries and a drink.

When we first walked in it was very quiet and we couldn't find any staff. But not long after we were warmly greeted and had a great conversation with the gentleman who took our order.

The food itself was pretty tasty, including the sauce used in the wrap. Though the meat felt a bit dry. I'm not sure if that's normal for shawarma but it would have been nice to have slightly more moisture in the meat to help retain the flavour and texture. The seasoning was nice though and overall it tasted pretty good. The fries were crisp and hot, and some ketchup was provided on the side. The carbonated mango drink was really nice and refreshing.

The restaurant itself appears clean and well managed. Basic but comfortable table and chair seating is available with self serve fridges for grabbing drinks you get with your meal.

The staff we met here were very polite and welcoming and we had a great conversation as we were ordering food. They were particularly accommodating for someone as annoying as me who asked a lot of questions given my unfamiliarity with this type of food.

Overall the experience was quite nice and I'd come here again. My buddy was slightly more critical, but that's probably down to his experience with many more shawarma places than me. For me though it was pretty tasty with great service and a nice bright and clean dining room....

Let me just start by saying, this spot is a hidden gem. If you get the chance to stop here, it’s a must. The food is incredible!!! My husband and I had a long trip to come out to Toronto (3.5 hours) and we stopped at this spot for a bite. From start to finish the hospitality, great price, the incredible flavors, and atmosphere just exceeded our expectations! We were treated like family! The business is family owned and we were offered to try a sample of the lentil soup which was the best lentil soup I have ever tasted and I come from a middle eastern family so that says a lot about the taste!! We ordered the mixed shawarma wrap combo x2 with garlic sauce & hot sauce which was just the perfect portion of fries and it came with a drink. We also ordered a mixed plate of chicken & beef to take home which looked and smelled incredible. If you are just considering stopping by, look no further because this is the...
