Liberty Shawarma

BEST EVER. So fresh. So many amazing toppings. You get tons of food for an awesome price. Staff are nice, place is clean. Food is amazing. I am addicted.

This is the best Shawarma in Liberty village. Period! There are a couple of other shawarma places (on king), but they fall far behind in the quality of the ingredients.
Shawarma is not rocket science — you need fresh and quality ingredients and fresh cooking. That’s it. This place hits the spot! The chicken and beef they use are a class above similar joints in quality, and their sides (so many of them! including pan-​fried eggplant which nobody else offers as a free side!) are so many and always fresh!
I cut one star off since their platters/​dinners (what I usually get) are pricey at $ 13, and also they sometimes burn the chicken on the outside of the shawarma roll. Not a big deal, and some people like it, but I’d rather not have it.
The ambiance is pretty basic, fast-​food type, but clean. The owner is awesome, usually working the cash register during lunch hours, and has free snacks on the counter for you to munch on while you wait in line. Great place!

Went there for the first time today and ordered shawarma dinner. The best thing is that I was able to park my car for free. They have two spots of their own.
The serving size was great!
All the items in the platter were flavorful.
The person was very courteous.
Overall good experience

Loved the chicken shawarma here and the pickled beets are especially good. Went on Sunday for the great specials!

Definitely one of the best shawarma places in the city. The other location on Spadina is constantly failing their health inspections, but thankfully this location doesn’t have the same issues. Their dinner platters may be a bit on the pricey side compared to Ali Baba’s, but you get a ton of food for the cost, though the amount of meat (and quality of service) you get sometimes varies with who is serving you and time of day. I find it you’re there dinner instead of lunch, they tend to be a bit more generous with the meat. Speaking of the meat, it is much better seasoned and much tastier than other places I’ve tried, and their vegetable selection is also extremely varied (the garlic potatoes are incredible), so I always make sure to ask for half the rice and extra veg instead. Also beware that their hot sauce is quite tasty (and looks homemade), but is also super spicy. Perfect post-​workout meal.

Had a kafta sandwich that was OK but not heated enough. However waited in line for a salad which was supposed to include feta — had nothing resembling that and was mostly filled with large hunks on raw onion!

Excellent Shawarma & Falafel, probably my favourite in the city. They also deliver which is cool. I recommend their chicken shawarma with a side of potatoes with garlic & hot sauce.

NO STARS!!! WORST SERVICE EVER!!! It seemed like the people behind the counter were inconvenienced by selling us 30 $ worth of shawarmas. Super rude and sour faced people. NEVER AGAIN! Food was nothing to brag about.

This has to be the worst shawarma place I have ever been to. They provide you with barely any chicken/​meat (I tested this a couple times, and others at my work have stated the same). So basically, I’m being charged for condiments and pita bread.
I think the only thing that is good here is the baklava — which is overpriced.
Other than that, the owner and all his staff are rude except maybe 1 guy there. The place is pretty ghetto considering its in Liberty Village. I guess the area is so desperate for lunch places around here that it gets business. I can’t see there to be any other good reason. Never again!

Chicken Shawarma is OK. I usually get it on Mondays when it’s on special. The portions are big and you won’t leave hungry. I do not leave a higher rating because some people that I know have gotten sick from their beef. I’ve never had an issue but just throwing it out there.

When you eat something that lacks this much heart and soul you just have to look down at the floor and say to yourself, «okay… I paid money for this». Then you let out a sigh and try to soldier through it… Shame I threw it out before I could even finish half… Couldn’t bring myself to take another bite.
This is the epitome of the word «hot mess» in food form… It was like eating a brick of hot salt with shredded lettuce… Just TERRIBLE.
Wasting food is just as sad as having to complain about it, but I will stand my ground on how this place should be STEERED CLEAR OF… Not to mention the place smells like OLD, gross mop water when you walk into the place (think musty basement + pee… mmmm way to whet the appetite, guys!!)
If you are smart, heed my words and stay far, far away from this rubbish… WORST food in Liberty Village…

I eat out pretty often. Always willing to try new things. I love Shawarma and have tried many Shawarma places. This is by far the best Shawarma in the city!
I always get the Shawarma plate because I love the rice and salads.
They have mountains of fresh and different salads that no other place has. The meat is delicious and pilled on high. The outside crispy bits of the chicken are my favorite and still moist on the inside. The rice is also amazing and one of a kind, mixed with lentils in it. The salads include chickpea salad, tomato salad, mixed vegetable. And they top it off with these grilled eggplant chips, garlic sauce and hummus.
The best part is its under $ 14 and it easlily feeds 2 people!
It is really unique and the best Shawarma I have ever had! Love it, Love it, love it! I will continue to go once a week! :)

I was told by a friend that I must try out the place if I want really good chicken shawerma with good portions of meat.
One big problem that I have with shawerma these days, is there’s too little chicken and a lot of salad which ends up tasting like a salad sandwich. I have to admit, compared to the other places iv tried in the downtown core, they definately don’t stack up to this place when it comes to taste and size. To make things more interesting, before I left I decided to try the falafel which to my surprise, ended up being even better than the sandwich I just had.
Being a big-​time Sherman critic, I have to give the place two thumbs up especially if you’re in the downtown core

Best Shawarma place I’ve ever been to! Good price, and friendly people! Of your in the area, you NEED yo go. Its a prerequisite!

I have had a variety of different foods here, probably most things on the menu.
²⁄₅ the service here tends to be crappy in Canadian standards, but if you don’t care about their shitty attitudes, and believe that they are still good at heart, the food aint so bad.
³⁄₅ the food usually is delicious, doesnt scream fresh at you, but overall a decent offering and the sandwich sauce is not too bad. consistently tastes the same.
⁴⁄₅ prices are quite good, with many specials for 12 $ for two wraps
³⁄₅ the place is conveniently located, but somewhat greasy and sometimes even skiddish?
so not too bad, but dont jump out of bed to come here

I’ve been here a few times and had the chicken shawarma and the falafel, always with the works. The prices are reasonable when buying items at the daily special price, though often a dollar or two higher on non-​special days.
Food service has always been prompt and courteous, though the establishment itself always feels a bit dirty. For takeaway it’s fine. I don’t know that I’d actually want to sit here and eat though.
The food itself is always fresh with generous portions, and I’ve never had a bad bite of food. I’ll keep coming and ordering off the specials menu, but perhaps go elsewhere if I want to dine in.

This place is hit or miss.
I have had incredibly tasty chicken here and other times it’s dry and no flavour.
This time around I’ll give it 4 stars as it was delicious!!! I still don’t love the jalapeño based hot sauce.
It’s definitely worth popping in for lunch. Just don’t be first in the door or the chicken will be burnt on the exterior.

Walked into the place and my girlfriend nearly wiped out on some grease on the floor. Not a good start.
First thing I noticed is that the prices are jacked up a little higher, possibly trying to take advantage of the Liberty Village location. Their combo platters were a good $ 3 more than most places downtown. Cans of pop are $ 1.75 for crying out loud.
Dude preparing our order used his hands to scoop ingredients. He was wearing plastic gloves, but it still sort of surprised me. The restaurant itself isn’t very pleasant-​looking.
Food was decent. I’ve had better and I’ve had worse, but certainly not willing to pay more in the future. I’ll stick with my usual trusted spots.

On my afternoon walk today I wanted to try something that wasn’t a bar or anywhere a hipster was hanging out at. On the last bit of the journey, Liberty Shawarma was staring at my face. I love those spontaneous type of moments.
I ordered a large beef shawarma. Maybe the guy serving me read my mind. He asked me if I wanted it to be spicy. From my bit of a tired look I nodded my head in agreement. Very tasty, right amount of spices and not a lot of garlic, even though I never mind that. That added with an iced tea came out to under $ 13.
It’s a very clean place with enough seating, even though I beat out the rush. Maybe people don’t like middle eastern food. Hey if you don’t like it or never tried it, check this place out. They have a TV which happened to be on the news of the latest in the Rob Ford saga (UGH)!
The only knock I’d say was that I wanted to sit on the stools to people watch and unfortunately the AC did not reach there. So I had to sit at one of the tables where I needed to cool off from the humid temps today.
I would definitely go back to try out other dishes if I visit the area again.

I tired out Liberty Shawarma for the first time yesterday for dinner. I have to say I was impressed, the service was quick and food was great. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma entrée plate — it was filled to the brim. The chicken was well seasoned and moist. The sides and salad complemented the meal. For $ 12 (including tax), my hunger was squashed.
I will definitely be back to try out the sandwiches and other items on their menu.
