Ruby's Mediterranean Cuisine - Toronto

We have been here many times, my husband and I love the food, the staff are great, I love the fish, but all the dishes are good.

My family and I have been eating at Ruby's for almost 10 years now, what's crazy is that most places usually go down in service however, Ruby's food was been consistently delicious for over a decade. Theres almost always a line because of the quality of the food and the fresh ingredients! The owners are great, it's a family run business and the workers are always happy and smiling. Great customer service, we can't say enough good things about them! Defimietly try the chicken shawarma, easily one of the best in Toronto

Their food is a real treat and offers many options, small portions, large portions, vegetarian as well, extra meat is an option too..fish, mixed (chicken and beef), falafel, salads, hummus...toum (a paste of garlic)......Overall their rice is the best I have ever eaten in Toronto, I love the food there and I love the combination I get on my plate when I get home (we buy take out). The combination of rice and meat (we buy mixed, beef and chicken), with garlic and hummus on the side, the tahini sauce and hot sauce...waw, it's simply delicious! Not cheap (29-30 CAD for two meals, large size plates, and my husband buys extra meat)..but very good! And their wraps are also amazing, I used to buy wraps for some time, but switched to plate because I missed their rice. I kept trying to find the recipe for the rice to make it myself :) I've known the staff there for years, I used to be a regular customer, they are all very nice and friendly. You have to try it once. And if you hate rice, they also serve the shaorma with French fries..what more can you ask? They are very flexible, they can adapt to one's own creativity for food, like mix and match the dishes..the sides...the salads...Overall, it's a "hidden gem", as someone said in a review about this place.

Many people argue that the best shawarma in Toronto is found on Lawrence Ave East. After trying out multiple places along that stretch, I realized that none of them gave me the satisfaction that I found at Ruby's. I usually order the chicken shawarma wrap, and the meat is always moist and marinated to perfection. They have a variety of toppings, and you can ask for a whole wheat pita if you are health-conscious. Although you may find their prices to be higher than competitor's; I have noticed that their portions are also larger. Ruby's Shawarma is truly a hidden gem that makes a trip to Eglinton Square totally worth it.

Worth a trip to Eglinton Square just for a couple falafel wraps to go. fresh ingredients, sizeable sandwhich, good value, delicious taste. And the staff are generally very bright and friendly. It is hard to buy falafel anywhere else.
