Still some of the best donair in town, and the staff are speedy and friendly. Try their baklava as well!
Amazing place and staff! A must try! The best of the best!
Friendly staff, clean dining area and quality food at a good value. Nice portion and ingredients on the chicken shawarma. Also, the baklava here are OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Was a tasty quick meal, I enjoyed it. If I could give 3.8, I would have. Good combination and good sauce mixture, a bit sweet and a bit spicy. Quite busy at lunch time during the weekdays. Just not sure if the beef is 100% beef, as it looked like a mixture of beef and starch?
AMAZING FOOD
AMAZING STAFF
I used the Chick Pea to cater an office meeting recently and everything was fantastic. Will definitely be using them again
I've been going here for 10 years... And never tried their falafel salad until now. If any of you know me, I don't eat meat and this has only been recent.
It's small interior is nothing fancy. You can find tables for a quick bite or sit along the windows. The newer owners are nice, maybe not as friendly as the originals. The chicken shawarma was my favourite when I are chicken. Always delicious. This time I settled with their falafel and it was still moist and not dry.
This place gets busy at the noon hour, usually before and after 1:30 you don't have to wait as long. Always a favourite of mine.
Finally came here for a lunch wrap. A donair shop on the ground floor of an older downtown office building. Interior was spartan. Had seating for about 30 diners. Tried the donair (beef) wrap ($9). There was a set of roasters, but the served beef was pre-sliced, and kept warm. You choose the type and amount of sauces (garlic, chili and sweet) and vegetables (hummus, parsley, pickled cabbage - neon pink, lettuce, tomato, onion, olives, pickles, cucumber) for the wrap. I couldn't walk past the baklava without trying one ($1.25) and 2 falafels (@$1) a la carte.
The donair was a flavourful and salty, but OK with all the veggies in the wrap. The bakalva was good, but I suspect it used corn syrup instead of honey. The falafels were crisp and full sized, but too salty for my taste. It had a fair kick of spicy flavour too. May be better in a wrap with veggies.
Overall the wrap was tasted good and was good value, better priced than most food trucks.
I would return.
Great place, nice and cozy, food is excellent, service is great. I personally loved the chicken shawarma, makes you feel you're back in the old country.
My favorite go to place for donairs at lunch. Decent price, super tasty. Really can't go wrong. Should definitely try the beef donair with cheese!
The aroma will beckon you to the door and the taste will bring you back - over and over again.
Don't forget to get there early as the anticipating customers are lined up to outside the door.
Everything is good!
Ew! The food sucks. I never knew tahini is a watered down yogurt drink... Gross... Anyway it's probably the only place around so people go ... Also from the reviews it's clear that many people haven't actually had good Mediterranean food cause this is definetly not it.
Always a delight. Just had lunch there again today, have been going for years. It's always fresh and a delight. I don't know what they do different, but everything at Chick Pea is amazing, fantastic donairs and shawarma.
