Best WLM Reviews

I was excited to see a Lebanese place near my new house, I did not know it will be my first and last meal there. I'm Arab, so I know what I'm talking about.. The kibbeh was not fresh, portions are huge, but unfortunately, bland, dry, and generic combinations with no authentic flavors. I used the washroom, and I saw in the hallway a huge bag of dry chickpeas open, just next to the washroom!! To be fair, they have a lot of potential if they fix these issues or just focus on a few items, and perfect them instead of having a long list of dishes they rail to deliver on. The service was great, and the dude at the cashier was helpful.. The place is lively, but you won't enjoy it if you are here for the food. Many other places offer better quality for similar or lower cost.
Way overpriced - $34 for seitan shawarma salad and side of falafel, before tip. Salad was swimming in dressing - see pic. Pita had mold on it - see pic. Never going back.
I love this place and they have one of the best spots to be in on Centre Street.
They always ready and the food is always hot. I love there Pita bread. The rice. The lamb! The shrimp is made so perfect this place makes my mouth water. I love it.
not a picky eater and not one to leave negative reviews but beef shawarma was pretty much inedible / rubbery. Portions sizes are large, salad is fine, but that shawarma should not be served to anyone unless you don’t like them
This is some of the best middle eastern food I’ve ever eaten anywhere. Vegetarian dishes are exquisite - highly recommend the seitan shawarma, the halloumi shish (so well grilled!!), and the fried okra. Dolmas are also amazing. Every bite of the pita wraps were dripping in flavor. Portion sizes are huge and food is very reasonably priced. I’ll be back many many more times.
The food was delicious! Staff very nice and accommodating. We tried fried cauliflower, pumpkin kibee, and olives and pickles on our mezza. Perfect! Then had shawarmas. Great atmosphere to relax and eat yummy food.
Always great to see vegan options clearly labeled. The portions were very generous. I had the pumpkin king roll up which had great seasonal flavors. Nice modern decor.
I liked the vegetarian dish, also the red snapper. The kabobs were a little bit overcooked. Overall I think the red meat and kabobs are not top notch in this place. But their fish, vegetarian dish and stews are good. They do not have dine in in the pandemic. Maybe it will become available in the future...
