Sumaq Iraqi Charcoal Grill - Scarborough

Verified by N49

I ordered a few chicken shawarma wraps on the tandoor bread. Even though there were about 6 to 7 people waiting with me, the order was made fast and delivered correctly.

The wrap is definitely filling but its not because of the inside filling, its the thick tandoor bread thats wrapped tightly.

There wasn’t enough chicken in the wrap at all. All i could taste is the pita more than anything else.
The chicken wasn’t too flavourful and did not taste like it was cut out from the shawarma spit.

I am not sure if its because it was busy at the time but i would say its an average shawarma and there are many other stores in the area with better tasting shawarma.

I've been wanting to try Sumaq for ages after seeing it in so many top 10 shawarma videos around the GTA. Finally went with a friend and I got the chicken and veal shawarma on tanoor bread (first time trying that bread). Right away, I noticed they're super generous with the meat-way more than most places I've been to.

The chicken shawarma was incredible. Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Easily in my top 5. The veal had good seasoning, but the meat was a bit dry or it felt slightly overcooked.

Overall, great experience. I honestly wish I lived on Lawrence Ave just to be able to eat here more often!

Good food. Bought a beef shawarma sandwich.
However I found some chicken pieces not much in my sandwich. Found a small piece of bone. I grabbed a can of pop had little dirt on top. Place is noisy during dinner time. Staff need a better training dealing with customers. Food portion is good. I’ll definitely go back hoping what I mentioned is rectified.

Bought the shawarma platter. Impressed by the quantity and quality. With 4 people we found it difficult to finish off. Definitely worth the money. But can’t say lot about the taste. I find It normal. Not worth the hype. Too busy afternoon, had to stand for a long time. Even for dine in you have to wait. Hopefully they will find some solution for the rush, since they have grown.

First time visiting after hearing a-lot about it!
Definitely a yummy shawarma spot. Is it my favourite? probably not. However i would still come here time and time again. Not enough seating but thats understandable especially during busy times! I got the mix shawarma. Bread is made fresh which makes a world of a difference! I usually go to Empire shawarma (which is still my favourite) but ill add this to the shuffle.

I got the chicken shawarma wrap with tanoor bread, omg it was delicious! It’s a heavy meal, so I couldn’t finish it in one sitting. It made for great leftovers the next day and it was still good! I often dream about eating this 🥹

Torontos staple shawarma. I have not found a better shawarma in Toronto yet- and u live fin Dubai for 10 years. This is a go to place to order. Chicken Arbita platter for my parties

delicious shawarma and falafel wraps! definitely get the freshly made tandoor bread which is standout. fillings were decent but not as substantial as their scarborough location. they also did not finish it enough on the grill like they do in scarborough, so there’s room for improvement. falafel wrap comes with lots of veggies, chicken shawarma not as much. very good nonetheless.

Service and atmosphere can def be better! But the food cannot be beaten! Sumaq definitely lives up to the hype !! The chicken Shawarma wrap is very flavourful and also huge !!! More than enough to fill you up :)

I tried the Mixed Kebab Plate and Mixed Shawarma at Sumaq, and both were absolutely wonderful! The meat was juicy, fresh, and perfectly tender—so easy to enjoy. Highly recommend this place Bonus: they have plenty of free parking, which makes the experience even better!
