$6.25 for 2 Sandwiches...What a Deal!!!

Here is a quick post.

A friend told me about a shawarma place in Scarborough so one day we decided to head there for lunch.

Family Shawarma is a small resto which seats about 16 people or so. When we arrived there was a long lineup.

I was drooling over the meat here. Just look at it. It was so juicy looking. Om nom nom.

Ultimate Laffananza Challenge

Ok the title is deceiving since I did not take this challenge at all. I love to eat but c'mon there's no way my stomach can handle that.

My boyfriend took me to Best Grill for dinner one night. Upon entering, this is what caught my eye. A gallery of all the contenders who took the Ultimate Laffananza Challenge. Actually it was the wall of shame, where food conquered man.

Bamiyan Kabob

Twice in one week.

My friend recommended Bamiyan Kabob to me. She said it was cheap and filling. Those are the two words that I love to hear when it comes to food.

Joe's Hamburgers

EAT ME!!! That's what the burger said to me so I obligingly listened.

Oh-mi-god it was goooood.

I was craving for a burger so got my boyfriend to drive me to Joe's Hamburgers in Richmond Hill.

The owner recommended that I get the Big Joe's 8oz burger. Of course I had to add cheese and bacon to it. It's not a burger unless you have those 2 components on it. Not one or the other, BOTH. He told me not to order fries since the burger itself will be filling for me. Wow first time I heard someone telling me NOT to order fries rather than hearing "Would you like fries with that?".

La Grill

My boyfriend has been raving about the chicken kebobs at La Grill so I finally made the trip to see what the fuss was all about.

You see he's a picky eater so if he likes something then it definitely is worth checking out.

La Grill serves up Lebanese food but with a bit of a Western twist on some of their traditional dishes.

We started off with the baba ghanoug which is made of eggplant, tahini, lemon juice and garlic served with warm pita. It was full of garlic flavor and pretty tasty.

The calamari was crispy and cooked perfectly. I really liked the seasoning. It was a perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness. I never tasted sweet calamari before and this was a hit. Wonder what was in the seasoning.

Me Va Me

Me Va Me. I am not making up some words here it's actually the name of a Middle Eastern restaurant.

Paramount

Think this used to be The Friendly Greek before it became the restaurant Paramount.

At first I couldn't tell where you place the order. The counter is situated at the far end of the restaurant. I think the layout is terrible. If I was ordering takeout I would prefer the counter to be located near the entrance. I placed the order and the cashier told us that they would bring the food to our table. Make sure to grab a seat first so you know what your table number is.
