I used to love this place now it’s a place I do not rate.

This place used to be Alpha shawarma now it’s only Alpha when I step in.

Late nights used to count on the chicken wrap so many times now it’s a place that has lost all of its shine.

The customer service is still nice and the food is at a good price but it’s not a place that’s worth my bite.

I used to recommend this place to everyone, now it’s a place I would tell no one.

I miss the old Alpha not this new Beta.

The food was really delicious. The portion size was generous, the flavors were authentic, and everything was fresh. The service was also friendly and fast. Definitely a place I’d go back to!

Every time I come from New York, I make sure to stop at Alpha’s Shawarma. The chicken is always juicy, the garlic sauce is perfect, and the portions are huge. Consistently great food and super friendly service — one of my favorite spots in Toronto! I hope they one day open a branch in New York!

I ordered the chicken shawarma plate at Alpha’s Shawarma, and it was absolutely fantastic! The portion was generous and loaded, and the flavors were amazing. It came with a fresh salad, and everything tasted authentic and well-prepared.

The staff were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was lively with great music playing, few staff members was even dancing along, which made the experience even more fun.

The only downside was that the garbage bin was full and the washrooms weren’t very clean. It’s something I think should be monitored and maintained more regularly, as it would make the overall experience perfect.

We took some friends from out of town for delicious shawarma at Alpha's and Malek and the rest of the crew there did not disappoint. The family platter was delicious and everyone there was very kind, generous, and friendly. Needless to say, there wasn't much left to take home. 😂

Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic shawarma experience in the downtown area.

Update: Came back here to dine-in yesterday and ordered take outs as well, but unfortunately, they missed to add our 2 large order garlic sauces in the bag🥴… I guess when you dine-in, tell them to prep everything all at once so you have time to check what’s in the bag especially when they’re crazy busy at lunch time… Anyway, posted pictures this time!

Past review: Delicious shawarmas! Sorry, didn’t have the chance to take photos because we were just too hungry, but will post next time… We’ll be back! Thanks for being there guys 🙌🏼

Alpha’s Shawarma on King is a brand new spot, but they’re already moving like veterans. Easily one of the cleanest, fastest, and most consistent shawarma joints downtown. Staff run it like a tight unit, military-level precision, no sloppiness, no delays. You feel the pride in the operation the second you walk in. The owners clearly care about both the craft and the customer experience.

Wraps come out fast but never rushed. Crispy press on the flat top, loaded evenly, balanced flavours. Fries stay crunchy, veggies are fresh, and the sauces never overpower. No overstuffed messes or dry gaps, every bite lands.

You can tell this isn’t just a cash-grab food spot. They’re building reputation, not just volume. Super friendly vibe, but dialed-in and efficient. Perfect post-club fix or sober quality check. Brand new and already outclassing the veterans. Never missed.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious full of flavor and reminded me of real home-cooked meals. A special thank you to Chef Malek his passion truly shows in every dish. He was not only kind and welcoming, but also made sure everything was perfect. The service was great, the atmosphere was warm, and the whole experience felt special. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Perfect Shawarma experience! We really miss this authentic shawarma taste, and we are so glad to finally get it here in Alpha Shawarma. We ordered Beef and Chicken Platter so delicious. Staffs are great! Mumtaz! 💯 Shokran!

I recently visited Alpha’s Shawarma and was seriously impressed. The shawarma was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and wrapped just right. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and the flavor really stands out. If you’re craving good shawarma, this place definitely delivers. Highly recommend!

I live a few minutes from this place and it is always delicious. Quick service, nice people, and reasonably priced. We come here often and don’t plan to stop! Best Shawarma in the area!

Good shawarma but didn’t live up to the hype imo. Flavour is alright but I found the chicken a little dry. Busy restaurant but the service is quick and efficient.

By Madeleine Cormack on Feb 05, 2025 Verified by Business

Honestly the BEST shawarma I’ve ever had in Toronto. The chicken was thick and juicy, the rice was so flavourful and everything was extremely fresh and delicious.
Even the salad slapped!! They were also super quick and efficient, I waited maybe 5 minutes?? 11/10 tell everyone you know!!!
