Quick Pita

Below average Shawarma, pre cut meat, small portion of add ons. Some grisly bits of chicken in finished product. Not heated at end of preparation leaves you with an unsatisfactory Shwarma experience. Possibly great when drunk… otherwise avoid.

this beats the street meat after hitting the entertainment district. Located on quiet Duncan St. Quick Pita has been here for years. They have a lot of specials for those who are running low on cash due to spending it at the clubs lol… 2 shawarmas for $ 8.99 is a good deal, and it tastes great! keep in mind this place can get packed at the wee morning hours. Great service, and the place was clean for the area it was in. SORRY no pictures this time… i was way too hungry after getting aquainted with Kettle One Vodka.

Ah, Quick Pita. Where do I begin?
The place is tiny and tucked away on Duncan, but that shouldn’t stop anyone from visiting at least once.
It can get crowded, but if you’re not in a hurry and want somewhere to sit, there are a few tables, as mentioned by fellow Unilocalers.
Unlike the other neighbourhood shawarma/​falafel joint, the people here are FRIENDLY, and they SMILE. And if they make a mistake in your order (which happened to me last week, when they accidentally gave my chicken shawarma to a guy who’d ordered a falafel), they will make it up to you, free of charge.
So … what about the shawarma? Apologies to the Simpsons, but … it’s like having a party in my mouth, where EVERYONE’s invited! SO. TASTY. And the price for a lunchtime meal is completely reasonable.
Sure, I’ve had shawarmas in other places which are just as good, even better. But they’re too far away to walk to by foot.
I first visited here in January, but I’ve been back a number of times since. And now that the weather is better, I will definitely be making regular visits.

Quick Pita is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shawarma spot on Duncan just south of Queen Street West. It’s pretty cramped inside with a pile of tall stools in the corner (and strangely, one lone stool bolted down), so you’ll probably want to take your pita to go. It’s got your standard shawarma offerings: chicken, beef, and falafel. They also have a massively stocked drink fridge. Seriously, there is stuff in here I have never heard of.
The pitas here are fine, but nothing exemplary and pretty light-​weight compared to other options in the city. I was pretty hungry an hour after having a chicken shawarma from this place. Not a bad place for a snack, but my quest for Toronto’s best shawarma rages on.
Obligatory Title Pun: The BREAD falls a little FLAT.
Menu Readability: Whatever.
Need to mention: They take debit with a $ 0.50 charge, but there is the world’s smallest ATM out front.
What this place teaches me about myself: If I was a Sierra Online game I’d be ShawarmaQuest III.

Worst chicken shawarma I’ve had in Toronto. It was ridiculously small and not very flavourful. So bland. Next time I’ll stick with Naz’s which is also in the area.

Eating with a vegan when you’re a die-​hard carnivore can be a feat in itself. Eating with a dead broke vegan when you’re a dead broke, die-​hard carnivore in Toronto is a feat of biblical proportions. So when we arrived on Friday night hungry and rip-​roaring to go.. . it was quite a feat finding something that both of us wanted. Then we stumbled upon this shop situated in a side road. I had the beef gyro and my friend had the veggie plate with some Falafel. It was delicious and didn’t eat up my drink funds. The two men working were so sweet and helpful! I will be paying this place another visit next time I’m in Toronto!

2 shwarmas for $ 8.99. I had the chicken shwarma and the S.O. had beef. Both were fresh, delicious, and packed with garlic sauce, tahini, pickled turnips and salad.
They’re pretty dainty as far as shwarmas go. I was still hungry after I devoured mine so you might just want to eat both by yourself. Or maybe I am just a pig.
And if it matters to you, they take greenbacks. Two Americans walked in asking if they could pay with US dollars. (Typical, isn’t it?) I didn’t stick around long enough to find out what their exchange rate is, though.
They only have a couple of seats in this tiny take-​out joint so you probably want take your food to go.
***ETA: I’ve been eating their falafels almost weekly for a few months now and they always hit the spot. The falafel is fresh, crisp and not too mealy, and they always take the time to grill the pita exterior so that it’s not the raw-​flour blanket I get at other places.***

Quick Pita is one of those off the main road pita places that offers fresh, delicious pitas. They open for lunch, but the times I’ve been here there’s been little to no line-​up. They accept debit, but there’s a service charge.
The place is pretty small, but there’s a few (not many though) chairs and tables for you to sit in. It’s really more of a take out place. In fact, if you’re just grabbing a pita, you could use this as a small meal, or rather a big snack. They also offer full meal options, all of which look delicious, but I’ve always stuck to the pitas.
