Chicken shawarma wraps and loaded fries, downtown Toronto
Alfa Shawarma
Probably one of the best shawarmas in the city, if not the best. The chicken shawarma wrap is exceptional — great meat, great sauce, and the fries here are seriously underrated. Really crispy, really well seasoned. I wish they had more locations outside of downtown.
What to Order
The chicken shawarma wrap is the go-to. And get the fries — don't skip the fries.
Must Try
Chicken shawarma wrap + fries. That's the combo. Simple, but it's one of the best meals you can have in downtown Toronto.
The Verdict
Top-tier shawarma. Alfa consistently delivers and the fries alone are worth the trip. The downtown locations are convenient if you're in the area — just wish it was more accessible across the city.
