I just had an amazing Shawarma. It was extremely juicy and they had premium toppings, like eggplant and roasted cauliflower.

Always a comforting meal. I love the fried eggplant they provide here, very delicious. My favourite is the chicken shawarma on salad, always an excellent choice. One thing to note is that I believe they use cardamom powder to season the rice. I personally love it, but it might not be something everybody is used to.

Truly a gem along the St Clair West strip serving fresh middle eastern food. Generous portions and made in front of you. Service was with a smile which is always appreciated and staff offered complimentary soup to taste.

Delicous halal food. Beautiful clean restaurant. Amazing staff. The portions are insane and so worth the price!!! The food was fresh and delicious. The best part was that the chef also gave us the most delicious complementary lentil soup, I will definitely be getting it next time. 10/10, highly recommend!!!

Chamsine has been a consistent middle Eastern spot along St. Clair west for quite some time now. They started closer to St. Clair and Bathurst and have now moved to their current spot.My favorite is the chicken shawarma but I'll admit that I haven't tried the beef shawarma. The felafel is made to order and amazing. Don't miss out on the rice and beans and everything that goes along with the platters they have here.Now, is this an 'authentic' shawarma spot? Yes, it is. The meats are well seasoned and I love the felafels. This is all good food for anyone who likes middle Eastern fare.Overall, I highly recommend Chamsine for a tasty, weeknight meal. The staff here are lovely and hard working which makes me want to support them even more.

So good! Great portions for the price. Chicken shawarma was awesome. The staff is also very nice. While I was eating a man unfortunately dropped his soup and the owner gave him another one no questions asked.

I order twice from here in the past week, consistently good and how did I not know this place so close to home? Portions are very large, tried the half and half meat plate with rice (oh that deliciously seasoned fluffy rice!) with garlic sauce and hummus, falafels (yummy moist and big!), beef wrap, and shish taouk (chicken kabob) plate, my favourite loaded with juicy chicken chunks, great value and feeds two. Highly recommend, nice to have in the neighborhood when hunger strikes!

Literally the best shawarma place ever. The only location I know in North America and Europe that has pomegranate sauce and such fresh veggies. I will definitely be a regular here.Also, the workers were amazing! I never know what to order and they were super helpful.
