Aljood Middle Eastern Cuisine

A Middle Eastern wrap and plate kitchen offering Shawarma, Falafel vegetarian options across a straightforward counter menu.

West Toronto1430 QUEEN ST W

The newest Middle Eastern restaurant registered in Toronto, as of July 15, 2026. First seen in official City of Toronto records on July 15, 2026.

The differentiator here is format and price point: Chicken Shawarma Wraps run $10.49, beef at $10.99, positioning the kitchen as accessible weekday lunch territory rather than sit-down dining. The menu reads as a diaspora standard, marinated chicken and beef Shawarma with tahini and garlic sauces, crispy Falafel with Hummus and pickled vegetables, a vegetable plate, the kind of reliable output that serves the neighbourhood commute. The Chicken Shawarma Plate ($16.49) is the calling card: tender marinated chicken seasoned with traditional Middle Eastern spices, served with creamy garlic sauce and warm pita, the foundational dish that anchors a kitchen like this.
