I came here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised.
I ordered the lunch special (vegetarian heaven), which came with 3 falafel, salad, grilled veggies and 3 dips of your choice. The 3 dips (I chose hummus, babaganoush and fried eggplant) were delicious and went very well with the freshly baked complimentary laffa. If you like spicy food, I also highly recommend the hot sauce- I was expecting a siracha or Franks Red Hot-esque sauce but this sauce is much more flavourful and has a nice kick to it.
The portion sizes were generous and I left with a full container of leftovers.
The lemonana was refreshing but warning- it is sour!
The service was wonderful. -

This location is really good. It is a lot better than the location at Bathurst and steeles. The ambience is a lot nicer than the other location and the servers are very polite and efficient. The servers continuously checked on us to ensure we were enjoying our meal and they continuously refilled or water glasses.
The service was really good and the food was delicious. We ordered the mushroom hummus as our appetizer. It was really flavourful and the appetizer was both gluten and lactose. I used the hummus to add flavour to my lamb entree.
I ordered a lamb kebab with a salad and a baked potato. My friend ordered the schnitzel and he really enjoyed it. The portions are really big and I would definitely go back. -

I like their signature dips and lunch specials, but I feel like the owners have diversified their efforts with Mi Va Me, Mi Va Me Express and corporate catering that the soul of the restaurant is gone. It feels too commercial and North Americanized. It does not feel authentic enough to me.
When I'm talking about places that are authentic, I'm primarily talking about places like:
- Sofra Grill (8707 Dufferin St, Thornhill)
- Suliko (1311 Alness St #8, Concord)
- Maha's (226 Greenwood Ave, Toronto)
- Aish Tanoor (994 Eglinton Ave W, Toronto)
- Jerusalem (955 Eglinton Ave W, Toronto)
- Tabülè (2009 Yonge St, Toronto)
The above restaurants offer you an authentic experience. Mi Va Me, on the other hand, offers a good, but a watered down experience. A middle of the road type experience. You will leave full and content with the quality of food and service, but there will be something missing. That something, IMHO, is authenticity, care, and love that goes into making food. -

Honestly the best reason to come to the place is a big plate of hummus with big chunks of chicken shawarma. Take a honking piece of freshly baked Oita and go to town. Seriously, no real other reason to go there. Service is pedestrian at best, but who cares? Gicee those complementary pickled peppers and olives and fresh bread. You can't go wrong.
We stopped I'm for a quick bite, ordered a few overpriced salads and shared a sandwich with some fries. But my thought go back to that mecca of goodness. A big platter of hummus that a bunch of people can share, family style. Honestly, I went a while back and that is the only thing I remember. Overall it's a good place for some middle eastern flair type food. Pretty much something for everyone. However, just do the take away if you can and enjoy at home
There are takeway locations which I will definitely try next time. -

Let me start by saying that this was my first visit ever to Me Va Me. We had to wait about 15 mins for a table but were seated within a shorter timeframe. Their menu seems to be quite extensive. We decided to do two chicken shawarma with chickpeas. I also ordered the mint lemonade.
The food and out rather quickly and the chicken was nice and tender and went well with the hummus. The fresh wraps they provide definitely made the experience enjoyable for the kids and myself. By far the highlight of my meal was the Mint Lemonade which reminded me of a virgin mojito and was just that extra that added to my meal. The food was fresh and tasted great, but a little disappointed with the lack of flavour other than garlic.
Word of advice don't wear something there that you don't want smelling of food bec it took two days of airing out our jackets, and glad I tried but not sure if I would go back
