Whether you're crossing the Vimy Memorial Bridge or coming down Limebank, a fresh, homemade Mediterranean meal is only a short drive away.
We believe fresh food is worth the visit. Our shawarma isn't processed; it’s hand-stacked, marinated in-house, and flame-grilled daily. Our garlic sauce (Toum) is whipped fresh in our kitchen. When you order from us, you get a quality, home-cooked style meal without the commute.
