Fantastic place! Great food, and speedy service. The owner is nice, and knows what he's doing. I'd add pictures, but I only thought of that after eating it all!

Their chicken shawarma wraps are very good. One of the best I've had. But it's their beef shawarma you really need to get. It's by far the best in the city. Very friendly staff and usually very quick service too. The place looks a bit run down but the food is great and it doesn't look dirty or unhygienic at all.

Every bad reviewer of this place doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Pita Way is a hidden gem of Toronto, the owner is friendly and remembers the customer’s orders. It is clear that he cares about students and people on a budget, as I’ve been coming here for 4 years and the price has only come up by 0.50. Not that it’d matter if he raised the prices, because i would easily pay 8-10 because the shawarma is one of the best I’ve had. It’s easily way better than any of the chain ones for a fraction of the price. I will be coming here until I die or move out of the city.

Can't really complain about 4 shawarma. Meat is seasoned quite well and packed with lots of tasty sauce. There's a steady stream of customers here and I can see why. One of the guys working here is just insanely nice, always striking up conversations with everyone. It adds a personal touch and makes all the difference. One thing that's interesting is that they use cabbage instead of lettuce for their shawarma.

I come back every so often and I get the 4.99 chicken shawarma. It is delicious and worth the price! I also just tried the baklava and it is amazing! Highly recommend coming here.
