" We were able to visit Maggi's for the 1st time today. We love to give our business to smaller family run businesses if we can, and we will definitely be visiting here again. Service was very good. We had the pita falafel and pita shawarma (large) and really enjoyed them both. The pickled veg in the falafel is so good. We will be recommending this place to others for sure. "

" Just stopped by for some Baklava and were so happy with the quality of their homemade rendition of this pastry. The phyllo was flaky, the pistachio layer was thick, and the honey syrup was perfectly portioned. We were not disappointed. Wouldn't hesitate to say it's the best in the city! "

" Good food! Had the beef shawarma platter and the chicken shawarma. The beef platter was amazing. The beef was very unique and tender. Came with fries and a salad. Prices are very reasonable. "

" It is easy to get distracted by all the chain restos on Regent, BUT don't! Go a little further for this hidden gem of a takeout place. I had the kebab wrap and the flavors were awesome — tahini, nice hit of garlic and the kebab so tender and beautifully spiced. Looking forward to trying the soups and the shawarma. Yum. "

" Loved my food so much. I had the beef shawarma platter. So delicious and the hummus was amazing. And so much hummus. Also had coffee which was yummy and baklava. So happy a friend told us about this delicious place. "
