Pita Land

Omg!!! Amazing! Best pita, best sauce! Just what I needed when I needed it! Loved my pita!

The place is really small, just to take to go. They don’t have tables to sit.
But the food is really good, was the best experience eating shawarma. The chicken is amazing, I don’t know what is different on it, but taste so good.
The price is similar to others place. And the service is fast with nice workers.
I recommend it hardly

Excellent shawarma. Probably one of the best places in the city. The service is usually prompt, the food is good, and the prices are reasonable. Serving sizes for the plates are absurdly big (be warned).
There’s not much else to say. Go here for shawarma if you’re in the area.

I went with my friend and her children. The food was awful. Both my friend and I have eaten there before and it was average but today, we both felt sick afterwards (mildly nauseated). I don’t know if the management has changed? I had the chicken shawarma pita and 2 shawarma plates + an orange juice and the total came to $ 34. That is expensive for food that did not taste good and made us feel unwell for a few hours.

great tasting food, fast and friendly service, and reasonably priced. very flavourful sauces as well. definitely one of my favourite places to get shawarma in the city!

Excellent chicken shawarma, Reasonable price, Although hit or miss service depending on who is working the counter

I wouldn’t call it a great place for Shawarma just because of how much choice there is in Toronto in that area. But definitely edible and very affordable.

I loved this little joint. Not a place you hear about but it should be. I love middle eastern cuisine and these guys know how to make a DELICIOUS mouth watering shawarma. I had a tough time deciding what to order, it all looked so yummy.
The garlic potatoes were BOMB. I was skeptical because of bad previous experiences but this place has mastered garlic potatoes, with a drizzle of tzatziki you’re in heaven. Just avoid kissing anyone after. I also tried the rice. Super fluffy and light. Well done.
The service was my favourite part :) the guys who were working were so cute and friendly and made sure I was taken care of, ensuring my happiness and my loyalty. TIP THEM.
There’s not a lot of seating is the only thing. But it’s just a small fast food place on the corner so it’s no big deal. It’s like $ 10 for a meal here but it’s so filling and satisfying, you can’t go wrong.
ILL BE COMING BACK FOR YOU PITALAND

Not great
Come for the cold, lifeless shwarmera.
Stay for the cold, lifeless whooors.
Just kidding… or AM I?

Im not that big on middle eastern food. However this is the best Ive had.
The portions are humungous. I like this place and it has a cool patio. My experience was supreme at the Gerrard street location. They deserve a 5
However, the bloor street location had a very rude staff that deserves a 1 star.
So when I average both out — they get a 3 from me.

Pita land! The land of the pita! This place is good! I usually get a combo for 10 $. Chicken shawarma, garlic potatoes and a can of pop. Usually get mine loaded with everything in it. Average price for downtown. The chicken is nice and tender. I’m usually hungry still after, but that’s just me.

I visited this establishment on Monday and I had the upmost horrible experience imaginable. My friends and I visited this location after a few drinks, associating us with the drunk people who came in just prior and treated us with the same extreme ignorance. This location closes at 4:00 am and we were in at 3:20, only three of us and at first they refused to serve us and said they were closed. Then when we told them they were still open according to their hours they began to take our order. When my friend proceeded to pay they refused to take his money because the edge ripped off as he was taking it out of his pocket. Now noting that the complete serial code was still intact and the corner of the new bill was still in his hand as well I informed them it was against the law to decline the bill for such a reason, it is still currency. Once I said this the short plump man who refused to give his name yelled at his go worker to throw out at pita and threatened my friend by jerking the pita at his face. When I asked for his name he told me, and I quote, «it’s none of your f***ing business, get the f*** out, I’m calling the police.» I waiting for the people police outside to file a report against the man but no police ever came and they closed the shop half an hour early.
My friends and I, who give them great business will not be returning back. Who knows what will happen night time, he might not just threaten us…
If anyone has information on this mans name I would appreciate as I have filed a report.

My primary reason for visiting this establishment was to try a squire of chicken because its low carb friendly. While I agree that the chicken was one of the best I have ever had. The price for a squire of chicken is astronomical compared to other establishments that are near by. For that reason, I will have to make this my first and last experience at Pita Land. I can’t justify spending $ 4 on a squire of chicken when their competition is offering the same at $ 2.75.

I was here at 12:30am and the night crew was rude and all they had was the chicken shawarma and my shawarma was filled with more lettuce than chicken not worth it for the price !

Open later than the nearby shwarma places so I go here when the better places around have closed — ie donair kebab house on yonge/​gerrard by the big slice.
I suspect the restaurant was better before changing names from my experiences with the restaurant and what the other reviews suggest. Service was «ok» as was the food. I’ll be back but the other places have to be closed first.

One of my favorite Shawarma places in Toronto for many reasons.
For one thing, they are reasonably priced at $ 6 a sandwich. That’s a good deal to me, but it’s probably not the cheapest Shawarma in town though.
Their Shawarmas are also damn tasty. The meat is always hot and tender. The pickled radishes and vegetables are always fresh and crispy. They balance well, both in texture and temperature, with the soft-​warm meat. I also love their white sauce (tahini?) they serve. It is both creamy and garlicky.
They are open until 5 am on weekends, so it’s a dependable food option after a night of debauchery. Depending on when you go, it can get annoyingly packed and full of inebriated clientele. Even so, the service is usually friendly and fast. A staple late-​night food option for me in Toronto.

The absolute WORST falafel I’ve ever had… EVAR!
The rice had absolutely no flavour to it, just plain white basmati. Seriously? You couldn’t even bother to put some cumin seed or peas in it! Something, ANYTHING?! I couldn’t even finish my meal.

Open Super Late
Food was decent for what it is (hangover food)
Deceptively big place, with big seating area
not too shabby,
lots of weirdo’s around at 3am though

As noted in other reviews, this place used to be called La Zeez and it used to have some of the best shwarma in the city. I assume the owners changed when the name did because the food isn’t quite the same and neither is the service.
Pita Land is located on Gerrard basically on the edge of Ryerson’s campus and right beside Hooker Harveys. They have a separate area that’s covered outdoor seating (which is actually quite nice to lunch in on a sunny day) but next to no room in the actual restaurant itself. I came in today for lunch without much time to spare — I wanted something quick and fast that I could eat as I walked back to work before my next meeting and shwarma was it!
Today, Pita Land was a tad swamped. The guy before me had ordered 4 pitas and I think the guy that was making them was a bit flustered because another guy came in right after me and then three more after him. It took him a few minutes to acknowledge me and take my order but it was no biggie, he had a big order ahead of me so I didn’t mind. But once he took my order, he basically went on autopilot, only stopping once to ask me if I wanted the garlic sauce on my pita. I stopped him before he put onions on my pita but he just chucked everything else in, including hot peppers that I didn’t really want, but I wasn’t fast enough to stop him. By the time I was going to say something, he’d already half finished the other guy’s pita. He did ask if I wanted the two additional sauces, which I did, but he didn’t put that much on.
For under $ 7, the shwarma is reasonably priced but they really don’t put a hell of a lot into the pita. Most places, the shwarma is weighing your hand down because they’re not stingy with the toppings. I was disappointed with the pita for a few reasons: all the toppings went to one side and all the chicken to another, the result of a poorly put together pita; the chicken was boring, usually shwarma chicken has great flavor and those nice little hard bits from where its been all cooked — nope; I don’t like it when my food is made without care — if I wanted that, I’d eat at McDonalds.
Overall, an ok stop if you’re too lazy to journey further for some better shwarma. If I’d had time, I would have headed to College to go to the best shwarma place in the city (imo) or to the AMC plaza (see my reviews). I’ll note here that I’ve generally received good service at Pita Land; the staff are normally very friendly, accommodating and always trying to sell you up (which by the way, is worth it if you get the combos they advertise on the wall) and the food is normally very good.

I was getting an oil change next door and I had two hours to kill. This was also the day that I didn’t have time to make lunch and the cafeteria at work was closed.
Doner/​schwarma is one of my favorite foods so I was pleasantly surprised to find this place next door. For $ 6, I got a huge doner that was stuffed with vegetables and chicken. The staff all had warm smiles and were very friendly.
The exterior is, to put it bluntly, not so nice; however, I would like to come here again! :)
