The Specialty

Halal deli sandwiches, mortadella, Montreal smoked meat, shawarma — inside a grocery store

# El Gourmet Express A completely unique halal experience. El Gourmet is inside a grocery store in Pickering, and what they've built is something genuinely special — a halal deli counter with options you just can't find anywhere else. Mortadella, Montreal smoked meat, vegetarian options, all halal. It's the kind of place that barely exists in this city. ## What to Order The deli sandwiches. Whatever they're building at the deli counter that day — mortadella, smoked meat, the specialty options. The shawarma is decent too, but the deli is why you're here. ## Must Try The deli — go in with an open mind and try the mortadella or Montreal smoked meat option. It's a rare find in the halal world. ## The Verdict One of the most exciting halal concepts in the GTA for what it does in the deli space. If you're in the Pickering area, this is a must. Completely unique, genuinely delicious, and fills a gap that barely anyone else is addressing. The deli alone earns this a permanent spot on the Hit List.
