Sahebi Italian Food — Restaurant in Toronto

Came in for a checkup. Hungry.

Saw an Italian place that’s halal. Don’t often see that, so I thought I’d go with a standard pepperoni slice.

Imagine my surprise looking at the menu to see a large slice for $5 taxes included, with calzones that Ben Wyatt would want to try (the spinach and cheese calzone is my next visit, but their chicken calzone has a good set of flavours to try, too!)

I am Muslim but have always been wary of halal, as my experience has been that it compromises taste. Not so here.

The slice was delivered hot all the way through. The crust is what you want - crispy without being burnt, and the slice had very little grease - a DEFINITE plus. The cheese was mildly stringy, perfect for a slice that won’t mess up your clothes. The pepperoni despite being halal is pleasingly spicy without being overwhelming. $5 WITH taxes‽ Where else can you find that?

Something to point out, this place is tucked away in a hospital, you definitely don’t expect it to be as good as it is. The crust is soft with a good crispness and chew, the cheese isn’t dry or greasy, and one slice is big enough to be satisfying without being so big you don’t want to finish. It doesn’t leave you feeling heavy or bloated from grease or cheap cheese. It is the kind of slice people want when they say “I want some pizza”.

Are there better slices in Toronto? Torontos a pizza Mecca, you will find them if you look hard enough. Can they make it halal, under $6, and still turn out a slice that is worth the visit?

I finished the pizza, walked up to the counter and thanked them. It’s that good. Happy folks at the counter, good quality food at an extraordinary price considering our economy right now means you’ll be satisfied with a slice or a whole pizza, their calzones, ziti, or lasagna.

If you’re in Scarborough, this is a small tucked away place that offers dishes that punch well above their price, and should be a...

Sauce can be improved (flavour wise ) cheese can be layered in the lasagna with more ingredients you can charge higher accordingly the potential is there but quality and taste are below average more flavour is required and ricotta is important as well as parmigiana in lasagna. sauce is slightly acidic and tastes like it’s from a cheap tin . needs more vegetables (blended of course in lasagna) so the kids can eat it; each item should have its own flavour not the same sauce and you can make the toppings unique. Please get a better chef, it’s not too late to improve the sauce quality and recipes. Even going on YouTube to watch someone’s Italian Nonna make lasagna would make the food taste better. Seriously the taste is not good my ten year old rejected it please change the recipes. Lasagna needs white sauce mozzarella cheese and layering not just meat and noodles and sauce. Don’t call that lasagna. I wasted my credits. Out of the baked ziti,, spaghetti and sauce, and lasagna and garlic bread she only ate...

We're always hunting for a Halal Italian restaurant (as there aren't many) so we were super excited to try this place out and it did not disappoint. The food is SO GOOD!!

We tried a few things: the lasagna combo, pizza, calzone and chicken wings. Everything was really well made, super fresh and had great portions! I highly recommend trying them out! The lasagna came with a free side and trust me you need to try their grilled potatoes!! We forgot to take pictures (will take some next order) but pleased to see that everything was packaged safely and secured.

Great place, wonderful food and even better...
