M'Zaar Restaurant - Toronto

I placed an order here with Ritual. First they increased the time estimate for pick-up, and then claimed they never received my order. They then closed so I got no food despite being billed for it, no dinner for me. Oh and you think they bothered to even apologize for their error? Nope. FAIL.

Options for Mediterranean food are not hard to find in downtown Toronto, and fall into either being cheaper and of poorer quality, or more expensive and of better quality. This is in the latter category, and a bit pricey compared to some alternatives nearby, but the quality is pretty good. We ended up spending about $40 for what would probably cost half that at another place nearby, though the food was good.

I visited the place with my wife today and i can easily say this is going to be one of our favourite stops. We frequently walk through this part of young street together in the evening since we live close by. We've ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich, char grilled kafta sandwich, kibbeh and a side order of french fries. We enjoyed every single bite. Honestly speaking, the place is highly recommended.

I'm used to the excellent shawarma in Montreal and Ottawa, and Toronto has disappointed on this front so far. However, this place comes closest to a great shawarma or Lebanese food joint in town. The food is fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. Service is usually pretty quick, and it's a centrally located on Yonge. You can sit down or take it to go.

After going to the Chihuly exhibit we when looking for a place for lunch. We happened upon this small restaurant and thought we would give it a try. There was a bit of a line up - always a good sign.The food was really good, fresh and well presented. Lunch for a Chicken Shawarma bowl and the appetizer plate was 15.00 and more than enough for 2 of us. Favourful and plentiful.The owner chef was a breathe of fresh air- He really cared about what we thought about the food.I don't often go into the city but wouldn't hesitate to recommend or to return.Great food for very little money and a chef who cares about his food and his customers. Well done!
