Olive Kebab — Restaurant in Toronto

This is a very unique concept of “build your own” wrap and bowl. Definitely in a league of its own and not a regular shawarma shop, more like a premium ingredient / health food joint which is anchored in Middle Eastern food tradition. For starters, they have vegan meats besides high quality regular meat and falafel. Then you can choose from about 16 veggies of impeccable freshness incl items such as kale or red cabbage. The sauces and condiments are house made and include unusual picks such as Beet tahini. If you’re going for a wrap, you can choose between two sizes, and I find the smaller one is usually enough unless I’m starving. The owners/operators are very nice and hard working, and take great pride in the nutritious food they prepare. In the past year, I’ve bought wraps there about ten times, and the quality has always been consistent. It’s possible to do takeout or eat inside (the space is not very big though). On some days they also serve delicious home made lemonade-like beverage, Lemonana, that’s been marvellous for...

Edited post: I went here a 3rd time. This time the owners were not as friendly nor did they provide good customer service. Waited about 5 mins before the acknowledged our presence.

Original Post: The owners are really nice. They will explain the menu to you and how they make their own ingredients. Make sure you ask questions. They have different menu items for everyone including vegetarian. Prices very reasonable. You can eat...

Best shawarma I've ever had. Osmo's and Lazees has nothing on this place in terms of quality, freshness and taste.

My steak lafa wrap was perfect. No flavour overpowered any other flavour and it all has a very fresh taste and palate feel. 10/10 from me.

My fiancée's large-sized falafel avocado bowl was huge and appealing to all the senses. It looked really nice and was surprisingly big. The falafel appeared and tasted like it was made in-house. 9/10 from vegan fiancée.

When my fiancée and I came in, the place was empty with no-one at the counter but that's because the owner and operator was in the kitchen preparing fresh chicken for shawarma. He did see us arrive though, and greeted us through the monitoring system he's set up for himself.

All-in-all, a very dedicated man who cares a lot about the food he serves. I will definitely be a...
