I keep seeing people buying goods from places like Bakery Pompette at 7:18 am or 4:10 pm, but when I check the app, most of the options are Tim Hortons or 7 11. I like the rating filter, which allows you to rank them, from better rating to worse!
Available at 2:07 pm today (Friday)
I think the trick is to go to places with a rating that is higher than 4, if you can!
At 4:50 pm, I took a moment to consider whether I could drive from Avenue and Lawrence to Gouter, and still get to Earl Bales Park by 5:30 pm, decided it was worth a try, and by the time I clicked reserve at 4:51 pm, it was gone
Needing a quick dinner in the neighbourhood of Yonge and Davisville, we finally crossed Flaming Stove off our list. Located inside a Hasty Mart, they have plenty of packaged Middle Eastern salads, dishes to warm up (e.g., Egyptian kusherie), dips, and desserts. But what people come in for are the saj wraps.
As you are waiting for an order, you can watch the staff skilfully stretch a wad of dough out into a large disc (within a few seconds), then drape it over a pillow to shape it further:
The saj are the base for 4 basic wraps. We tried the chicken shawarma and the falafel, both of which come with options of lettuce, tomato, onions, two kinds of pickles, cabbage, tahini, garlic sauce, hot sauce, and amba sauce. The result is slightly shorter than my forearm and about the same girth (the pictures below are of half each wrap). All this for $14.99.
Both were very enjoyable and enough food for two meals. The saj was particularly appealing - thin and light, with a lovely subtle flavour. We also sampled the hummus, which was good, although we are not sure why Toronto Life highlighted it as one of the best in the city.
Ya, Tabule is good but I never go there for the shawarma, too many other options. I have no problem driving to Scarbs for the best shawarma in the city when the craving hits me tho.
Funny. Shawarma Empire for their hot sauce. So good. I told them they should retail their shirts too. I know quite a few people would sport their colours proudly.
Out here in Pickering, I’m struggling to find a replacement. I think I’ll have to cross the border into Ajax to try Laymoon. https://instagram.com/laymoon.ca
