The banner says “Istanbul Kabab”! We had seen these gentlemen on our way to In n Out, and we decided to stop by next time we thought about burgers… And it was a great decision! We were treated to fresh Lentil soup and dessert tasting, before deciding on a chicken shawarma wrap and a plate, with bowls of soup on the side (it was that good). These guys were so nice and professional, and clearly already had a few regulars eating and arriving as we waited. Just housed the shawarma and soup, holy MOLY was it delicious. I almost never leave reviews but these guys were so kind and the food was so refreshingly delicious and high quality that I had to pay it forward. I will be back!

Bilal and his crew are incredible. Come for the delicious food, stay for a cup of hot tea and lovely conversation. This stand is a service to the community, serving up delicious, clean and healthy food at an unbeatable price point, even into late hours of the night. Come regularly because Bilal will regularly have specials, complimentary desserts or new toppings.

A street stand off the road wafting a fantastic smell- it's not where Google Maps says it is, so just walk along the main road and keep your eyes peeled (see photos for reference). I had the chicken and beef shawarma. At $10 each, it was a bit smaller than I expected and took a bit to prepare, but was tasty and satiating; the beef was especially flavourful, and the one I would definitely recommend. The chicken was also tasty, but relatively bland until the last few bites; all of the juices had pooled down there for some truly delicious final bites.

I come here at least twice a week since it is close to my co-working space. Its nice to have halal food and it be tasty too. I always just feel good after having a meal here. The owner seems to genuinely be good to his customers and is always smiling.
