Red Castle

The place is fairly new, being a year old. Serves up Mediterranean dishes, specifically Moroccan. Has a cafeteria feel to it. Food is fresh. Cabbage salads are really good. My plate scores 3.7÷5 because the shish tawouk skewers were bland. Adding spices to them would have made the chicken much more flavourful. Otherwise, the chicken was tender and the rice, fries and sides were good.
Place is clean. Tables require upkeep though with two people working, it can be hard to maintain especially when one’s shift is about to end. Nonetheless, service was relatively quick. 4.5÷5.

I came in since I saw all the great reviews and honestly I don’t think I would come back.
First off, I ordered a grilled veggie plate and took over 40 minutes to make it. I don’t think it takes 40 minutes to grill some veggies especially if the place isn’t busy.
Also the food was okay. Nothing special. I’ve been to other medditeranean places that were better.

Great food for the price. Really enjoy the shawarmas — staff are friendly, good place for kids — a welcome addition to the neighbor hood.

Friendly service although it’s more of a fast food restaurant, they had a clean seating area and offered to clean our table after we paid. The chicken tagine was dry not very flavourful but had came with a lot of chicken which we couldn’t finish. It also came with salad, pita, hummus and babaganoush which was tasteful. The shish tawouk was my favourite as the chicken was juicy and it came with two types of salad and garlic dip and the rice which was also flavoured. Would definitely come back here again!

Nothing wrong with the place I just didn’t enjoy it. The quality of the food is good, portion size good and service good. For me, it was over seasoned, perhaps that’s how middle eastern food is to taste so I can’t be critical of that. I like a more natural taste to my food. And for what I had, I found it to be very expensive.

This place has great food. You can smell it as soon as you walk in. The shawarma is great and made with care. The falafel is formed into balls and deep fried right in front of you unlike other some places.
Prices are reasonable and the menu has some interesting options. No negatives here. Just a great place to grab a bite.

Ordered the lamb shanks. It was bland but also had hints of unpleasant seasoning and marinade.

Great chicken, excellent flavour! Everything was great. Service was personable. The potatoes were lovely too

I eat middle eastern food of all types from time to time and this place gets my vote for the one best overall.
I’ve been here twice and ordered different things each time. Their shawarma is succulent whether it’s beef or chicken. I tried their shish tawouk. It’s so tender and well seasoned. Their falafel is only $ 4 and very decent sized. The falafel ball ingredients seem more fresh than most places I’ve tried. What makes them stand out is their tagine dishes. This is a clay pot stewed dish which I haven’t seen in Toronto before. My eyes are set on their shawarma poutine which I’ll try next time.
Reasonable prices and awesome taste makes it a win in my books. I’ll definitely visit again when I’m in the area.

Ordered through Just Eat and it was pretty good.
Got falafel sandwiches, tabbouleh, potatoes, salad, and french fries.
The falafel, tabbouleh, salad, and french fries were great, but the potatoes were a touch oily.
Next time I’ll try their falafel plate so I can sample their rice and other salad dishes.

We decided to give the newly opened Red Castle a try and are really glad we did. The cabbage roll was beautifully spiced, the salad really fresh and the lamb tagine was delicious! The Danforth was desperate for this place! Welcome to the hood, Red Castle!

This place is AMAZING. I was feeling adventurous (as usual) and had the SHWARMA POUTINE. Oh wow. Its was something else. It was next level and only be described as HEAVEN IN MY MOUTH. This is totally my new favorite food! I am in love with Red Castle. The food is absolutely divine and the prices are great as well. So worth it! I’m so glad that this place opened up! I’ll see you soon Red Castle. :)

Just visited this new place a couple of days ago — great service and very tasty shawarma. Pricing is very competitive as well! A welcome addition to Danforth food landscape — will definitely be coming back soon.

I am so happy this new addition to the Danforth didn’t disappoint — everything fresh and the owners are so proud of their food and friendly. Falafels are fried to order (not sitting around to be nuked). Had the hummus, beef shawarma plate with rice. Coming back for more!
