My first job, at 14 years old, for $5 an hour, was at a shawarma restaurant. It's fair to say I've been in the shawarma game a long time, and I've had my fair share. This is, in my opinion, the best shawarma plate in Toronto. Sumaq's shawarma is like a symphony – the chicken was the lead violin: perfectly seasoned, juicy and beautifully charred. The garlic sauce: the brass section - bold, powerful and impossible to ignore. The pickles: flutists. The salad kept the tempo, and the rice and potatoes provided the warm, dependable bass line holding the whole performance together. the hot sauce delicately dings the triangle. Every ingredient played its part, nothing was out of tune, and by the end, a single solitary tear ran down my cheek and I suddenly understood what it must have been like to be at Mozart's last performance. An absolutely outstanding plate.

The food was good but they really messed up my order. I asked for 3 wraps,, one with veal, 2 chicken, and one veal supreme on tanour bread, all spicy and no pickles. But the 3 wraps all had pickles, and they gave me a chicken supreme, which is $1 less than the veal supreme, and it was not spicy. Disappointed in the botched order. I recommend the, regular wrap to the supreme.

The Chicken shawarma tasted okay, slightly bland. The toppings were skimpy and Flavor was lacking. Mine extra hot and it tasted mild -medium. I excepted more from this place but didn't find it. I'll have to visit again and try other items. Maybe it will be better next time.

My kids insisted we come here over March Break and so happy I made the trek. I had the most delicious chicken shwarma wrap while my kids had the chicken supreme. The portion was big enough that I took home leftovers. The flavor and chargrilled taste were *chef's kiss*. We can't wait to visit again to try something new.

After hearing non-stop recommendations from friends, I finally made the trip to Sumaq, and it’s safe to say the hype is real. I opted for the chicken shawarma wrap on their signature tandoori bread, and it was a game-changer. The first thing you notice is the portion size—it is incredibly filling. The chicken was the highlight: perfectly tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. Unlike some spots that skimp on the greens, this wrap was packed with fresh, crunchy veggies that balanced the richness of the meat beautifully. The tandoori bread added a nice, authentic chew that elevated it above your standard pita wrap. The outlet stays buzzing with energy, which is usually a sign of quality. While the place is busy and finding a seat can be a bit of a gamble during peak hours, the staff is impressively efficient. I was in and out within 10 minutes, which is a feat considering the crowd. If you're looking for a fast, high-quality meal that doesn't compromise on flavor or freshness, Sumaq is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be heading back soon!
