Kababia — Restaurant in Toronto

I placed an order directly from the Kababia’s website at 10am to pick up when they open( I believe they are open at 11:00am) Owner called me as soon as I placed an order to inform me that order will be ready around 11:20am.

I ordered a family platter for 3-4 people($49.99 plus tax $56.49). They were served on a 15 inch long take out platter. My family platter had a combination of shish tawook(chicken kebob) lamb kofta chicken kofta (spinach and feta cheese chicken shawarma beef shawarma lentil rice basmati rice tabbouleh salad cabbage salad pickled turnips & a large selection of vegetables hummus garlic sauce(toum) tahini hot sauce pita bread Bonus Dolma( with stuffed rice)

All the items on the platter were fantastic. I especially liked kofta (over shawarma), lentil rice, homemade hot sauce & garlic sauce (toum).

We made three pita wraps and three meat+salad+rice dinner out of this platter.

The presentation/ taste of this platter can be easily a party crowd pleaser when you have guests over but you don’t feel cooking. You can add some falafels to this platter for extra proteins as well.

Also three pieces of extra dolmadakia( not included in menu description) were really good. Stuffed rice inside grapes leaves was...

Kababia is just up the street from where we live and I got to say it’s such a great place to have in the neighbourhood. I got two platters I got the smaller platter which I think is about $67 and the large platter which is $99 and I got the add-ons of the falafels, fries and the potatoes $13 xtra. It also comes with hummus, a garlic sauce, hot sauce & tahini, lots of fresh pita as well. I wish I took pictures of it, but everybody dug into it before I even had a chance (there is many photos of the platters in other reviews). They make fresh to order which I love and the owner Abdul is very approachable and he can help you sort out what you need especially if you have vegetarians, he said he can even separate the meat from all the rice and the veggies on the platter. I had 10 people mostly young adults (who eat a lot ) and we had leftovers for 4 lunches the next day that I packed up...

I wish if I could give less than 1 star but this place is very cheap when it comes to giving alternative options. I wanted their Friday special which was 21.99 for two platters so I ordered two chicken platters and the guy preparing the order asked if I wanted rice I said no rice, only salad and chicken, and he said that will be 14.99 for each meal. it will cancel the deal. I have never seen anything like this before. I have been to Naan Kabob, Bamiyan and Ali Baba restaurant before, and if a dish comes with rice you can substitute it for a salad with no extra charge but this place is so cheap they don’t allow other options and try to over charge you. The guy behind the counter was very rude. The food was below average. They drenched the food with so much sauce that you can taste more sauce than the food. That shows there is no flavour and it’s...
