Me Va Me

I order from this location twice a week for my family dinners with wife and kids
Food is delicious
service is great
Schnitzel dinner I highly recommend my family loves the chicken and beef kebabs.
Their sandwiches have a lot more meat then all the other shawarma/​kebab restaurants in the area
They deliver as well which most restaurant in the area don’t
Overall I’d rate this place #1 in Thornhil and north York

The food here is great and it’s a place I frequently visit. The staff can occasionally have an attitude and act rude but I always take the food to go. It usually doesn’t take too long to get your order. All in all its great food at a fair price and I would highly recommend giving it a try.
UPDATE
The prices have gone up and they cut a few corners. Very unimpressed. I will return but I won’t be running there any time soon.

Great mix of food. I love to visit Toronto often, and this place is always welcoming. Their atmosphere is very elegant and hummos is amazing. I would defiantly recommend it

Pros:
–Chicken skewers, roasted potatoes, and regular salad were tasty.
Cons:
–Beef skewers were ordered as medium-​well but were medium rare. Several pieces were bloody red!
–Side dishes were not served with the correct skewer. My sister’s side dish was packaged with my skewer and vice versa.

I’ve been to the Leslie York Mills location plenty of times. So I know the food is food, the service great and fast. This particular location is named «Express» and once you order you get told your wait time for two shawarma pitas is 20 minutes? Someone care to explain how that works to me please? Can’t imagine ever coming here for a work lunch.

Never disappoints! Been my go-​to Christmas Eve dinner for a few years now.
Always busy, but the wait time goes by pretty quick.
Service is good, and they will change things (in your meal) how you want them to be.
I would recommend the lemonada drink, the appetizer dip trio (the babaganouuuuuuush tho), shawarma platters, and salmon skewers.
Great salads too.

The meats are done very here. This was my first time here and it is an instant favourite for me. They have several locations but this is their take out location. I’ve been to both types and the food is on point. I ordered the chicken on pita, baba ganoush, chicken schnitzel dinner. This was ample for 2 people and it was delicious. They were also generous with their toppings too.

Rude staff, they were out of shawarma and could not serve us half of their menu items. Didn’t have any menus to provide us. Wouldn’t go there again

Really really good food! The hipe is real. Service is a hit or miss due to the high turn over of the servers. Must try! My fave is defnly the Falafel!!! Hands down the most flavourful ones I have ever had.

We are a regular here and every time they make some mistake on our orders because we order around 15 meals at a time… Today they did not make a mistake but had to fight over $ 1.73 of extra sauce on a $ 150 order… I can understand if I ordered one meal and asked for free sauce…

Slowest service ever. Ordered a lunch box and everybody after me got their order before I did.

Good service, but always a line. It’s ok tho Good but a lil bit over priced for that small ass shawarma blyat hahahaha.

Went for delivery
Pros:
+ large portions
+ friendly service
Cons:
— not made for eating in.
Atmosphere: (³⁄₅)
This is not a sit down place, it is only for take out. There are bars stools and tables, but it is more for a single person eating rather than a group. The place is clean and well lit. The sides you can order with the meal and the toppings are displayed in front you. The view of the kitchen is open, so you can see what they are doing there..
Service: (4.5÷5)
We interacted only with the server (who took us to another cashier since there was a line), and the person who filled in our pittas. Both were friendly and helpful. The person who was filling in the pitas suggested a different order. We waited for around 10 minutes for the food to be made.
Food: (⁵⁄₅ stars)
We ordered two shawarma and one felafel. For every one they gave us a choice of which toppings we wanted. On everything we put on tahini sauce, humus, babaganush, eggplant salad, lettuce and tomatoes. It cost $ 21 with tax.
The portions were large and tasty. Would recommend it when you want to eat a large portion for decent prices.
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a large tasty meal to eat at home. I would not recommend to eat in the restaurant.

The food is very fresh and delicious as it is in all locations but here you get a bit of a larger portion, and even extra pickles :-) the salad and their dressing is excellent! We also really enjoy their hot sauce very unique flavour its bare able and delicious!
But the place is starting to show its age quiet a bit,
I used to come here over 10 years ago, and it looks like nothing has been changed or updated…

Excellent food. Dark chicken on a skewer was amazing. Tasty and cooked perfectly. Great salads, apetisers as well. Large portions.
Will be back :)

Making my way along Steeles Ave West, I was craving some good bites in the area, and Me Va Me was right there! This small place certaintly has big flavor from your Meditterranean/​MIddle Eastern Favorites like baba ganoush, humus, and beef skewers to their falafels, Morrocan cigars and pitas.
Coming here on a Good Friday, and not being able to consume any meat, I opted for their Falafels, and my oh my was it delicious! considering it was a small wait, it was totally worth it. You can’t really put a price on FRESHLY made food, this Falafel was a perfect 5! and it was huge. Thankfully the lovely lady decided to cut the falafel in half since I was unable to finish the other half.
In addition to the falafel, i ordered their creamy baba ganoush (mixed with mayo) though heavy, no signs of faults hence it was a 5!
Their baba ganoush (without mayo) was another hit, mixed with cilantro, was a beauty.
without a doubt ill be back to this place! job well done Me VA mE

The hummus is creamy and smooth, the smoothest I’ve ever had. It’s definitely nothing like grocery store hummus *shudders*. It’s delicious. It’s even better if you add a touch of olive oil to smooth things out a tad, cuz the hummus is really thick.
The fried eggplant is almost sweet and sour like, heavier on the sweet. For something with so much oil, it’s incredibly fresh and almost light tasting.
Their baba ganoush is delicious as well. It’s creamy and it’s a big hit at parties.
They also have a salad called a matbuha (sp?), I believe, that is almost like a not particularly chunky salsa, and is made with cooked tomatoes and sweet peppers with herbs and spices. I quite enjoyed this too.
I usually get the four in their four dip combo for $ 13.95 (for 32 oz).
The lady who served me this time was super friendly. It was my first time getting the matbuha and she explained to me what it was. She also let me sample things so that I could know what I was buying before I bought them.
The two most unfortunate things about this me va me express is that 1) they don’t include pita with dip purchases (you can buy it at an additional charge), and 2) they don’t have fresh laffa the way their restaurant does.
(the part that comes next doesn’t particularly apply to this particular location but is a shameless plug for their sit down restaurant).
Just down the street at Bathurst and Steeles is their sit down restaurant. They have the same dips (for a tad bit more, money-​wise), but these come with fresh laffa. Laffa is a type of flatbread. They make the laffa in house and you can ask for more (they don’t charge you for this). It’s fresh and warm and delicious, and I wish the express locations would provide laffa with dip purchases. I wouldn’t mind paying a bit more if they would include the laffa.

A Persian coworker highly suggested this place so decided to check it out. Oh wow, the crowd in this place got me even more excited. However, after I tried the food I don’t get the hype at all. We ordered their Moroccan Cigars, lamb chops, grilled beef pita and chicken pita. With the exception of the lamb chop which my friend found amazing because of the superior meat quality, we found the rest of the food a shame to Mediterranean cuisine.
Spending most of my earlier years growing up in the Middle East, I know my Shawarma’s and other middle eastern cuisine well and have enhanced taste buds for the same. Given the size of their pita and generous fillings I had high hopes but we were all very, very, very disappointed.

Loveeeee the shawarma pita here!
Quality of chicken is the best I’ve tried in Toronto. Toppings are flavourful and the portion is most definitely generous!
Finger licking good!
It’s more of a eat real quick type place not many seats or really good for take out!
Service is quite speedy.
Staff is pleasant.
Price is fair you can eat for under
$ 10!
Def try!

***This location is Express, so it’s mainly for takeout. There is only counter seating, no tables or waiter service.***
After years of my last visit — it’s definitely NOT in my ‘hood — I was glad that I dropped by again! Apparently the non-​Express has changed owners a few times within the last few years and their dine-​in service was hit ‘n miss.
(I had one server tell me that they didn’t serve baguettes, but they had pitas due to Passover. Obviously, I’m not a Jew, but if you’re trying to keep Kosher by not serving baguettes, you wouldn’t serve pitas either! Another time, I observed that only certain diners would get the basket of pickles/​pitas while my table was overlooked.)
So if it’s just for casual dining, I’d just prefer to skip the more ‘miss’ service than deal with any slightly discriminatory attitudes.
Onto the Express…
Me Va Me is Middle Eastern/​Sephardic food with delicious sides + sauces. I especially loved their hot sauce which you can get… on the side.
The Chicken Schnitzel itself was HUGE, slightly under seasoned, but beautifully fried. Fries were good, very crispy, even as a takeout. Dinner portion was enough for 2+ppl to share!
I ordered a Lamb Burger, but they didn’t have any, so I ordered the skewer in a baguette instead. Baguette was the size of a foot long! I dunno what it’s called, but it’s a topping that has chunks of eggplant in it, GET THAT FOR SURE! It’s delicious.
Lamb was a bit cold by the time I ate it. Not sure if the cold, salad toppings cooled it off, but it wasn’t the softest, but still good, especially due to the bread + yummy toppings. If you’re gonna order it, it may help to eat it ASAP!
