Tarek's Cafe

Tried here in the late 90s or early 2000s and liked it a lot, but for no real reason hadn't been back until yesterday for lunch (July 2020). It's bigger and brighter inside than it used to be, with probably a dozen tables (half in use due to covid restrictions at the moment). Seems like there are a lot of regulars who come here, as many lined up while we ate. We arrived about 11:50 at the latest so were lucky to get a table. The place seems very popular for take-out though. When you walk in, the owner always offers a free small soup sample! I grabbed mine without listening too closely what it was (maybe a lentil something), and really enjoyed it, so if I had been in the mood for soup, would've ordered it. I came with a pita in mind so ordered the chicken schwarma (8.95) which is HUGE and very tasty, juicy and not too messy to eat. I didn't realize it was going to be so big, or wouldn't have ordered a side of linguini (an item I remembered loving all those years ago). Next time I must remember to be aware of the quantity. My friend got the 2-skewer chicken plate that comes with pita, two types of rice, a Mediterranean salad and dips. He found it very flavorful as well, decent quality, just overall satisfying. We will be back soon!

They have some amazing Juices there. Veggie Juice 100% pure YUM. Also big fan of the chicken shawarma and the really attractive looking males that work there.

Always greeted with a smile as soon as I walk in. Exceptional service and food.

A favourite of our household!! Can't say enough good things about this place... the food.. the people who work there. 5 stars all around - never change!!

Loved this place after being shown it by a good friend. The portions and prices are great. Delicious food and a great place to grab a healthy bite
