Like the Israeli fruit, the sabra, this sit-down/takeout restaurant is rough on the outside, yet sweet on the inside. The establishment does not present well; it is hidden away in a darkish alcove, in a rather sketchy strip mall, with Russian hip-hop music blaring from the video store next door. Inside, there's a cheesy mural of Jerusalem on the entire west wall. (Shouldn't it be on the east wall!?).
But everything else is good. The servers are friendly, it's clean, the food is excellent, and an overall worthwhile experience. The washrooms are in the basement, past the supplies, but are clean and well maintained. The prices are reasonable. There is a good selection of Middle-Eastern-style food (falafel, shwarma, and the like in pita or lafa, great toppings, etc). It has the best shwarma I've tasted in Toronto (kosher, of course).I checked the Toronto DineSafe inspections. No problems.
