The shawarma's are hot and as big as your face. Delicious! This is just a little falafel shop in a corner-store, with plastic patio furniture outside. This place is always busy (but not too much) because it's worth it!

This place is a TRIP. The decor is kitschy, and the food is delicious. The presentation will be snap-worthy, too! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but worth it if you like Thai food!

Neighbourhoods
Inglewood is one of my favourite neighbourhoods in the city. There are plenty of little microbreweries, a nice selection of shops, and it's close to the river and downtown. I like to grab a snack and coffee in the East Village, swing through the Central Library, and then wander over to Inglewood for an afternoon of window-shopping. Check out Moonstone Creations for local Indigenous beadwork and other crafts, among many other great shops in the area!
