Chez Talal

My friend took me here saying the Chez Talal has the most fresh and tastiest food. I was excited to try and it was the BEST quality shawarma I've ever had. I ordered the cauliflower dinner with a side order of chicken shawarma and I absolutely loved it! The staff is friendly and provide great service! can't wait to be back :

We were served very friendly. Dips including hummus and garlic were very good. Shawarma dishes were decent however just a bit too salty for us.Recommended dishesSauces

Heading to nearby Newmarket Courthouse can be a chore from the westside of York Region. But not if there's lunch to look forward to Chez Talal! Following Kris' advice hasn't done me wrong yet, even when his meals are from 2-4 years ago. I guess something can be said for restaurant consistency! There's many rave reviews for the food here so I knew I had to try it out for myself as a fan of good shawarmas, gyros and döner kebabs. The meal here seems quite popular with young & old alike judging by the senior couple and then the mom with strollers. All of whom trekked here shortly after me. Now after visiting, I'm happy to report back that I was not disappointed. It was certainly one of the better shawarmas that I've had. A super friendly young lady at the counter expertly rolled the hunk of meat and veggies together before toasting for the crispy skin. Chicken Shawarma came with garlic & tahini sauces that were savoury though watery. The moist and flavourful chicken chunks melded well with the fresh veggies, sweet sesame, hot peppers & sour pickles for a flavourful affordable meal. It's true, Chez Talal is located at an awkward plaza, but the standalone restaurant itself looks fresh even having an outdoor patio if you're in the mood to watch road traffic. You're in a good mood anyways after a mini-food coma of a meal. Heck even the ordering counter with the strange UV lighting is fun and eye-catching!

Best shawarma and kebob place! The flavours are delicious, the food is always fresh & outstanding, the staff are friendly and super hardworking, and the menu is huge with many vegan and vegetarian options as well! Been coming here for years now and I highly recommend

I'm not a fan of this place because the portion of meat they gave isn't good or enough. Its not packed enough. They have good fries. They gave you a pop with the rice platter. I wouldn't eat here again in my opinion.

Really not bad for what it is, the food is in the top tier of all the middle eastern restaurant out there and they give you a lot of meat. But if you are ordering the kabob be sure the order ahead since it is going to take you about 10-15 minutes

Excellent food, service & management! I drive all the way from hw7 and woodbine at least once a week to visit this place because they have the best shawarma. Today My wife and I got the mixed shawarma plates on rice. Everything is always fresh and the portions are huge. I've never had shawarma as amazing as this place! It definitely stands out from other shawarma places from the kebobs to the shawarma to the salads. The taste has always been beyond satisfying every time we have been We have tried shawarma practically everywhere from Toronto, Aurora, Richmond Hill, Scarborough etc and Chez Talal is by far the best! Highly recommend!

My wife and I had a lunch here today. I had the chicken shawarma dinner with rice with the works and a drink and my wife had the lamb kabob dinner with fries the works of toppings and a drink. The service was very friendly and the food was fresh tasting with great flavours. The total cost was around $38.

Updating from a 1 star to a 3 star New post: Came here after going to the sauna next door and gentleman working was very friendly and polite I ordered the chicken shawarma plate w. potatoes and my friend ordered the cauliflower wrap meal that came with a side of fries My meal was good and made fresh and potatoes were nice and piping hot. The cauliflower wrap was tasty as well however the fries were a weak portion size Despite the clean appearance of the restaurant, there was a strong smoky/burnt smell inside which was a bit off putting Original post: Absolute GARBAGE: Fatoush salad wasn’t even a typical fatoush salad, it was merely iceberg lettuce with a few tomatoes, cucumber and carrots and 5 burnt pieces of unappetizing looking pita. But even worse… the Chicken shawarma poutine DIDN’T EVEN COME WITH GRAVY…BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE GRAVY! Can you even call it a poutine when there’s no gravy?!? And they used shredded cheese instead of cheese curds? Don’t waste your money coming here. We only came because Shawarmaland was closed.

Great food, 100% better in every way than all the very average chain places around. I struggle to finish a whole dinner plate, which is priced comsideably lower than the chains also. And I can eat! Run by those that love the food, i have nothing but good things to say. Order online and pickup in store is fast, do not hesitate to try Chez Talal! Vegetarian options: Most of the food is veggie friendly and falafels are a great meat alternative! Parking: Large parking plaza, seems to have spots right in front of the restaurant at all times. Wheelchair accessibility: I believe the resaurant is wheelchair accessible, I don't recall steps and the door seems wide enough.
