Toronto's broader Middle Eastern scene — Mediterranean grills, mixed-Levantine spots, shawarma counters that don't fit a single national label — counts 10 kitchens in the past 12 months, with 2 licensed in the past 30 days. The City's registry doesn't enforce national borders; neither do these menus.
