Ibrahim Pizza & Bbq

Decent shawarma. $ 10.99 for 2 shawarma (beef or chicken). Best thing about this place is it’s opened late until (2am or 4am in the summer). Inside there is only seating for around 10 people. Outdoor seating is available in the summer (about 20 seats; 10 tables).
Good if you are hungry late night.

This is hands down my favorite shawarma place. Huge servings and their 2 for 1 shawarma deal is amazing, i always had the 1 chicken 1 beef shawarma in the middle of the night (taxis line up here in the evening as the food is really good) on late nights and really starving situation, their shawarma platter will fix you up for sure! I live just around the corner so i am a regular here, at least 2x a week

Best place to get shawarmas in Toronto. By far. Great place! Been going here for years. There’s usually a line, but that’s to be expected.

The establishment is a hole in the wall with a couple crappy tables. The places with the best food usually are. They are the best shwarma and falafel place I’ve ever been to. I have moved further away but I would rather drive 15 minutes each way to go there than walk 3 minutes to a local place. Always a line up, even at 11:00pm

My first visit to this place would have had me walking out with a 5 star review! I had their Shawarma plate, and the amount of food that came with it was worth the price. Now what really had me pleased was the meat itself. It wasn’t like other shawarma places, it had it’s own distinct recipe as well as the edges of the chicken were nice and crispy… it was HEAVEN in my mouth.
The meat was so good, I was craving it all week, and decided to go again the week after. Instead of getting the plate, I just wanted the meat, and grabbed it for $ 30/​KG. Which I found later to be a rip off. Now he had two racks of chicken going and I noticed that he gave the other customers that ate the wraps/​plates off of one rack, and when I asked for the meat he gave it off a separate rack. I took it home and realized this wasn’t the same chicken I had the week before, well it was, just wasn’t cooked to perfection like the other rack he gave the other customers. The spices were still not cooked but I ate it anyway with my family.
Next day, everyone that ate it had diarrhea. He gave us the rack that wasn’t fully cooked and tasted nothing like what I had the week before. WHY? I had paid just for the meat and he gave me the bad rack. If I had ordered 3 plates which would have come with the potatoes/​rice/​salad I would have paid an extra $ 5 and got the good meat. I paid more and got the bad meat. Very disappointed.

Bogus tastless shawarma. Felt nauseated after having it. Unprofessional staff. Dont reccomend this place as they are rip offs. Much better tasting joints nearby

The reviews claiming this place never runs out of anything are wrong. Despite having four menu items that include falafel, they have consistently not made it available since the new year. My bf and I frequented this place very often and they have always been happy to accommodate vegetarians diets in the past, but the last five visits they’ve offered the same explanation: «sorry, not today. We usually do, come back tomorrow!» We figured maybe it was late and sold out and to come back earlier but it seems they just can’t be bothered to make some of the menu items if it slows down the line, regardless of the time of day.
Not a fan of the prices doubling either. Two shawarma sandwiches for 10.99 is ludicrous for a shawarma joint in Scarborough. The sandwiches are pretty good and the salad filling options are consistently fresh, but they buy all their pitas and veggies from Arz across the street, where the prices haven’t changed at all.
Getting arrogant about your product and service is the best way to steer away loyal customers.

The 2 stars I am giving are for the TASTE of the shawarma wrap and plates. Up until summer of 2015 they use to give amazing generous portions and great price of 2 for 7.99 which went to 8.99 then 9.99 then 10.99 and I think it’s 11.99 now probably since I’ve refused to go in the last 9 months. The portions are considerably skimped out now with more vegetables and barely any meat. Me, my mom, and dad use to drive 60 – 70 KM’s (40mins –1hr) just to buy 6 – 8 at a time for the week. Since the very quick shot up in price and receding amount of ingredients in our wraps we no longer go there and have found some where closer. I was there ⁴⁄₇ days of every week and trust me I know the difference going that often. It’s great for once or twice but as a student it’s a rip off when you see just 2 minutes down there’s a 2 for $ 8 available. Will not be going back.

I work in the area close by so I get shawarma a lot.
I really don’t like this place because of the unprofessional staff. (they wear everyday street cloth to serve you food).
I like to watch my weight so I always ask for no sauce.
The first time they messed it up, it was an understandable mistake.
The second time, they made a mistake again, i was a bit annoyed.
This past weekend, I visited the store again because it was on my way to my office.
They messed up my order a third time. The staff was also giving me a lot of attitude.
I walked out of the store, food is okay, but not worth it to suffer from idiot staff who always put sauce on your food when you ask them specifically not to put sauce.

The best. Everything so fresh. Always get mix and take home a wrap to take home to eat later…

Hahahaha. I can’t believe this place doesn’t have a straight five star rating. They never run out of anything. There is a reason why there’s always a line up out the door for this place when there are probably about two dozen Shwarma shops up and down Lawrence that you could probably walk to.Hahaha.people are going to hate I guess. I hope these guys stay in business for ever, everyone know the spicy green sauce they make (Must be a family recipe) and the way they do both beef and chicken so good consistently. the meat is good every. time. I am convinced its cause they sell it so fast its impossible for it to ever get dry or old.
But just be prepared. those 5,6,7 people in line in font of you aren’t just ordering a single plate or sandwich. They are probably ordering for 5,6,7 other people. Despite the insane amount of people that are always ordering food the people who work there are always super nice and friendly. and its so worth it and hey sometimes you get lucky and you’re in and out in a few minutes. I wouldn’t have them change a thing.

Came here on Thanksgiving Monday. the two nearby shwarma places were closed because of the holiday. Which is what I’m going to say accounted for the super long line up. It couldn’t possibly have been because of the food. Or the employees/​service.
I walked in and there was at least 5 – 8 people ahead of me. I mentally prepared for slow service. Before I even got to order, I saw several people be told that what they wanted (whole chicken, falefals, potatoes, etc) was not available today/​anymore. This place is generally open until 2am… before 7pm they have run out of several items or simply did not have them at all that day.
Literally before I go to order, the man who was making all the shwarma sandwiches/​servicing the dinner entrees throws a fit. Facing the customers, he starts yelling to the kitchen staff. I’m still not sure what happened, but it seems people were not sure what their tasks were. He yelled something along the lines of if you want me to be in the kitchen, get out of the kitchen/​if you’re in the kitchen, stay in the kitchen. So he storms off, throwing things about. Eventually he goes into the kitchen and some other dude comes to make the sandwiches I’m ordering.
He barely listens to what I say (I have four sandwiches and not everyone wants everything). He sloppily wraps the sandwiches. I pay, grab the food, and leave.
It’s about 5 min drive to my place and as my family eats their sandwiches, we, despite our hunger, decide never to return. It doesn’t even taste that good. It’s definitely not worth a second chance after the first experience. The worst part of the dismal service is that not a single customer was complaining about the lack of food or the wait or the tantrum. If you’re going to be slow, at least make the food properly!

Yes it’s good food but
they are charging for the drinks double then the other places charge!
It’s almost same price of the shawarma wrap.
Ask them how much is the ayran or airan a drink made of yogurt and water.

As others have commented, the shawarmas here contain some fatty parts. However, I don’t find this a bad thing as some fatty chicken is pretty delicious. These parts are also lower cost than lean cuts thus a much larger product can be afforded for the typical shawarma price. They also open late for those owl cravings. Give them a try!

Great place for take out and super cheap

Best shawarma I’ve ever had. There are better times to go. Seems like earlier in the day they have fresher veggies, their green hot sauce is more vibrant in colour and spicier. Nonetheless you can’t go wrong. They kill it. Although I do dig their rival (Empire) down the street, I find myself returning to Ib’s more often than not. Because it’s delicious.

Im surprised this place has such a good overall rating. I must say I’ll never understand the constant crowd. I grew up on Wayne and have tried eating here out of curiosity. There are several reasons why I think this is the grossest shawarma I have ever had!!!
1. Yes its a big sandwich. and full. Full of crap that is! Chunks of fat and greasy chicken pieces which happen to be the cheaper chicken cuts. REAL shawarma is made out of breast meat and this is far from it!
2. Next, if you walk by often enough, you will often get a glimpse of their filthy kitchen in the back when the door is open. You’ll see the lack of cleanliness and sometimes even a lack of hygiene in the form of sweaty fore heads.
3. Also, workers don’t wear gloves or hairnets.
4. Their service is sub-​par at best.
5. They have minimal seating…
Bonus Reason: My friend also had food poisoning here. Just don’t eat here!!!
The only 2 reasons I can think of to explain why he’s still in business. He opens late and serves very large Shawarmas…
If you want a clean good tasting shawarma try Ruby’s in Eglinton square mall. Pure lean chicken breast meat… very clean, tasty and friendly service. Tastes similar to the real deal that I get back home in Lebanon.

This place serves the best shawarma sandwiches in town. Well worth the drive to Lawrence East in Scarborough.
The toppings are always fresh, the green paste hot sauce kicks, and the beef is the way to go in my opinion.
Strong selection of authentic beverages including mango and guava juices, and kefir.
Enjoy!

Ate here several times while visiting my in-​laws. Some of the best shawarma I’ve ever had, almost as good as in the motherland. My favorite is the chicken, ask for it spicy. One sandwich is big enough to share!
Not the friendliest guys working there but efficient workers, we were usually in and out within out 10 minutes.

Shawarma is good and portion u is pretty big. Their sign is a little deceiving. It looks like it sat 2 for 1 shawarmas for 4.99 but when u go in its 8.99 for 2.
