Shawarma is comfort food: I'm always up for it. Thanks for sharing these great spots. It was awesome watching you have these meaty, juicy, treats. I thought the presentation of Shawarma Saj at Zaad was awesome. But, the Shawarma Poutine at Johnny's was marvellous! It's so innovative! Special mention of Dr. Laffa's mega sized shawarma: it was heavenly! Thank you for explaining the different nationalities of the proprietors, and their unique breads :) Happy weekend, Clark!
Haha, so glad you enjoyed the video. Shawarma is definitely a food that puts a smile on my face. It was fun to experience how each spot had their own unique qualities. Have a good one my friend!
There are so many shawarma spots in the city and I've always wanted to try some of the best. Thank you for this top 5 Clark. I love how you explored shawarma from different countries. I did not realize how many countries made this dish.
I was surprised too when I began diving into other shawarma spots other than my usual go to's. I was also pleasantly surprised by how much nuance there is between each region's approach to the dish. So glad you enjoyed the video
Yeah, it’s so great that each one had it’s own nuance on the dish. Enough commonality to remain recognizable as shawarma, but also unique in its own way. Hope you get to satisfy that craving soon
As I clicked the video I was thinking "It's too bad this won't include Mississauga because Lezzet Shawarma is one of the best I've ever had anywhere in GTA." However you did include one in Mississauga that I always drive past and didn't know it was so highly rated. Thank you for the suggestion! I will try Yaseen's and hopefully you can try Lezzet sometime (on Dixie Rd.) 👍 If you go on Friday or Saturday night expect a line all the way out the door.
A lot of great places in this list no doubt. Shawarma I think is the perfect food to represent the GTA (greater Toronto area) it's comfort food to showcase the diversity of each culture who bring their own unique spin. One spot I highly recommend is Shawarma Frenzy in East York near Pape and Cosburn. Their shawarma sauce is amazing especially if you love garlic plus they are super friendly and treat you like family. There's a reason why I ate there 3-4 times a week.
My go to spot is near my home: www.mainstgreek.com/ but I really need to try some places in the city. Maybe time to research spots for a future video perhaps?
@@IGetFood Thanks for the recommendation! I find it hard to find a good gyro place that does proper meat stack spit. But the fact it has a melitzanosalata on the menu is pretty special, makes it worth trying it out.
@@matthoffman6962 Did a video featuring Shawarma Empire awhile ago so thought to highlight a few other places for this one but yes, I’ve heard a lot of great things about Sumaq. Will have to feature them in a future video.

I loved that of the five, most of them have their own cultural twist on the food. Now im hungry.

Yaseen has the best Beef Shawarma in all of GTA
Gotta love Yaseen’s! Thanks for watching

@@IGetFood if you go to shelbys tell the owner I said hi
Shelby is not as good as Yaseen and other spots here, I tried it today
You missed Sumaq and Shawarma Empire.
