Food was pretty good, though my cheese pie didn't have enough cheese. On the other hand, my friend's meat and cheese was perfect. They have a great selection of drinks, desserts and food with reasonable prices. The staff was quiet, but friendly. I wish they had more seating and the "cash only" policy is definitely sketchy.
The king of pies (Lebanese meat pies, that is).
Great bakery with a range of meat, cheese and veggie pies. All are warmed up in their oven and served piping hot. Personal favourites include the meat/cheese and spinach/cheese versions. The zaatar has a nice spice mix but some may find it too thick/doughy.
Everything is within CAD 3.50 and makes a cheap/tasty lunch paired with a bottle of juice from their vast beverage cabinet. Go adventurous and try something different (pineapple or mango juice, or a bottle of jellab with hints of date and honey).
The older gent in the cashier is very chatty and helpful: feel free to ask for suggestions (if he's not too busy).
All in all, a great experience and hope they open more branches (or franchises) in future.
Very good,. Their pies are awesome & very inexpensive. You should definitely try it...
Good snack. Dropped in last night for the first time. The staff was very nice, the pies (we had meat and cheese) were tasty, and the baklava were just like I like them: well stuffed and moist with honey.
Buy extra & have them later!!. When I visit, I purchase enough for a couple of days worth. Just reheat in the microwave & make sure you leave the parchment paper wrapper on. DELICIOUS!!!
I finally agreed to try my meat & cheese pie with "lemon & spices" and it's not as spicy as you may think. If you aren't sure, ask them to put a little bit of lemon & spices on and taste it - you'll be hooked!!
I've tried: meat & cheese (my favourite), meat, cheese, spinach, spinach & cheese, yogurt & olive (my hubby's favourite) and zatar (it's a mix of spices - very interesting tasting and worth a try).
They've grown.... The place is a little bigger now - they've got a nut and baklava section, as well as an ice cream/gelato section.
The nuts are fresh, fresh, fresh!
The Lebanese pies are their usual awesomeness... Best in town!
Tasty "Meat & Cheese with Spice" Please!. DELICIOUS, crispy, flavourful meat, spinach, cream cheese & olive pies along with fresh Zaatar breads and Baklawa. You wanna EAT CHEAP? This is the place!
Two 'meat & cheese with spice" will set you back 4$ or less and they're really filling. My favourite is the spinach, but really...they're ALL GOOD! Friendly fast service as well and an ATM machine is on the premises.
Parking for the Aladdin sucks, and don't park at the neighboring Pizza Pizza! There are plenty of side streets to park on, right nearby.
Love this place - in terms of food and service! I used to drive all the way from Janata to get his pies (meat, cheese, spinach yummm).
He's always friendly and the prices are incredible!
My holy sweet hairpins! I love love their delicate and delicious pies!
Amazing! I can't get enough of these cheese and zaatar and meat pies. Yummm!
