Steak & Cheese & Quick Pita Restaurant

Came for a steak and cheese sub for $ 6.5. Was smaller than expected with mushrooms and onions and very salty, but decent for the price. Quick service, waited around 5 minutes, and the place was completely empty. I’d only be returning out of convenience though.

had the gyro across the street from uoft. I placed my order and somehow this Caucasian girl who ordered a gyro after me got her order before mines when the store owner can clearly see that I was waiting a lot earlier than she was.
Ive never had a gyro before so take this review with a grain of salt. The meal didnt look anything like it did on the google images and the meat was very salty and had the consistency of rubber. So I guess you can say i was eating salty rubber.
The rice wasnt good quality, neither was the salad. I couldnt finish this meal even though I was hungry when I came.
I wont be coming back.

This place is amazing for steak and cheese. Go there every time I want a sub, never disappointed.
Though I’ve never tried their other things.

The falafel wrap I ordered was actually so bad (dry, cheap ingredients), that I couldn’t even finish it.
The first meal I’ve ever ordered in Toronto that deserved spitting out.

Positive: very tasty and home made food (I tried sheesh kabab plater — thus, no idea about their wraps or shawarmas), which is thus different than the good but Americanized and standardized Ali baba food. Staff is nice!
Negative: store and seatings do not look very appealing… price for a combo platers are relatively high for a fast food place.

I decided to give this place another try. The gyros were horrible the first time so I tried the falafels this time. Big mistake. Bland and stale seem to be the main ingredients for this place. It also took more than 10 minutes for them to make it too. I thought it was a fast food type place, not a sit-​down type place judging by the name but I guess I was wrong. It’s a shame because the owner seems quite nice. I just can’t bring myself to give this place more than 1 star because the food is just so bad.

Considering your options in the area, it’s not that bad. My shawarma sandwich was pretty good and fairly priced. The Philly cheese steak sandwich was all right too, maybe not quite as good as my shawarma.
This isn’t the kind of place you go to for any sort of dining experience. It’s fast food, and as far as fast food goes, it’s OK.

I had been here once before and had a gyro pita. It was passable, but much to small to make a decent lunch for me. After the reviews on here, I was skeptical, but I thought I would give it another try.
I decided to head back today for the falafel special. The falafel was delicious! I’m no expert, but all I know is that I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I’ll be back again.

The people working at this place are really nice but the food after 6pm is just awful! Everything is old and I think they are just selling week old leftovers at night!

I am sorry, I tried. At least three times.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been here, so I don’t want to condemn them without a retrial, but I was left deeply dissatisfied with what I got every single time, back when they moved into this area. As I mentioned with Queenslice, I find their lack of focus represented in the signage– «Toronto’s #1 shawarma house!”/“the original philly style sandwich!”/“juice bar!» to be indicative of greater problems in the kitchen. But, it has managed to stick around for probably close to two years, so you never know.
All I know:
–the falafel balls were dry, bordering on stale,
–the shawarma was gristly, with too many of those *hard* chunks that never fail to disturb me,
–i was charged extra for tabouli and pickles… I think the only included toppings were the straight, base veggies of everyplace (tomatoes, lettuce, onion). This was probably what bothered me the most.
Not cool, guys.

I’m sorry but this place doesn’t deserve me spending time writing a review about it… just DON’T GO THERE and hopefully something better will appear there soon. Man I feel like an ass, I apologize to the owners who are very nice people but COME ON, serve some proper food!
Everything tastes bad, but it’s super cheap especially on their daily specials (usually prices $ 3 – 4). I’ve never had such bland, tasteless food in my life.
