Meat lovers, you're in for a treat! I found the most delicious chicken and beef shawarma restaurant in Toronto's west end; The Empire (not to be confused with Shawarma Empire) at 1018 Bloor Street West. If you're like me in that you usually choose falafel sandwiches over shawarma because the meat is looking sub-par (ie: dry...fatty...overcooked as though it's been roasting on the skewer for days...) then you'll be happy to hear that the chicken and beef shawarma at Empire is succulent, juicy, fresh and melt-in-your month tender. Not sure what makes this place so different, but they're one of the only Sudanese restaurants in Toronto. I was so excited, I got a mixed beef and shawarma plate, for only $7! Added bonus: there's always free tables to eat at, unlike other falafel joints and you get a true taste for the middle east by watching Al Jazeera on the TV. Finally, if you are into falafels, theirs is pretty delicious and offers more toppings, spreads and spices than your average falafel place...but the quality runs neck and neck with the falafel at Ghazale and Sara's in the Annex.
