Our family had a wonderful ifthar dine-in experience at Kababia. Staff were pleasant, welcoming and accommodating to our large group. Food portions were very generous and tasted delicious. The bathrooms here are THE BEST compared with others on Danforth. Overall, it was great experience and I highly recommend them to everyone looking for a beautiful, clean, reasonably priced, Halal venue in this neighbourhood!
Holy fuck, this food slaps - portion size is good and the food quality is amazing. I’ve had a couple misses in the middleastern food category lately as I’ve been looking for a new regular spot. I found it. This place is amazing
Amazing value! You get a huge meal for a really reasonable price. Very flavourful, and the portions are super generous. Near the end of the meal I did find it to be a little heavy because of all the sauce, so I might ask for less or to have it on the side next time (but that’s just my own preference). I saw that they have a special for 30 family platters on Sundays, which I have to try! One of the best shawarma places I’ve been to in the city for sure.
My bro literally makes the best Shawarma in the entire GTA area. Garlic sauce is top tier. You are missing out if you never try this place before.
We ordered the family platter. Delicious flavours and generous portions. One of our family members has a gluten allergy, and everything was separated with care. We will definitely order again.
Tried the vegetarian family platter, large size for 99. I’m very impressed. It had 20-30 falafels, grilled vegetables, and several other items (maybe 10 things in total, so much variety). They construct the platter with great care — it looked very presentable for my party. They provided lots of pita and dips. The hummus is particularly good quality! And the garlic spread is great. It also came with tahini and hot sauce. Everything tasted great. It’s a lot of food, seriously. They say it feeds 6-7 people but those people would be stuffed and would have second helpings. Overall I’m quite happy and it’s a great thing for a party. You just have to decide if the price makes sense for you.
I placed an order directly from the Kababia’s website at 10am to pick up when they open( I believe they are open at 11:00am) Owner called me as soon as I placed an order to inform me that order will be ready around 11:20am. I ordered a family platter for 3-4 people(49.99 plus tax 56.49). They were served on a 15 inch long take out platter. My family platter had a combination of 1. shish tawook(chicken kebob) 2. lamb kofta 3. chicken kofta (spinach and feta cheese 4. chicken shawarma 5. beef shawarma 6. lentil rice 7. basmati rice 8. tabbouleh salad 9. cabbage salad 10. pickled turnips & a large selection of vegetables 11. hummus 12. garlic sauce(toum) 13. tahini 14. hot sauce 15. pita bread 16. Bonus Dolma( with stuffed rice) All the items on the platter were fantastic. I especially liked kofta (over shawarma), lentil rice, homemade hot sauce & garlic sauce (toum). We made three pita wraps and three meatsaladrice dinner out of this platter. The presentation/ taste of this platter can be easily a party crowd pleaser when you have guests over but you don’t feel cooking. You can add some falafels to this platter for extra proteins as well. Also three pieces of extra dolmadakia( not included in menu description) were really good. Stuffed rice inside grapes leaves was super moist!
Really great Middle Eastern food on The Danforth. I really like their chicken shawarma plate which is very flavourful and has fresh ingredients.
