Great place. Always clean and friendly service. Your orders are on time or made quickly if you walk in. Great place to run into friends you haven't seen in a while as well. Everyone I know that has tried food here is a repeat customer as it's always on point. Shwarma and fatoosh salads can be a bit sauce heavy, so I always ask for half, and it's perfect. Meat always cooked just right, and the cuts are nice and lean. Veggies fresh and nice. I am very pleased, my mouth waters the minute I get my order. Try them out. You will not regret it.

For my 30th birthday I wanted to come eat here because I was here a few days ago and had the beef shawarma wrap and it was delicious! This time I wanted to go all out and get the plate combo and wow was it amazing! The food tastes so fresh and flavourful, the texture, the tenderness of the meat, everything is balanced and blends well together. My buddies and I agree this place is a gem. It has great food and great service. Give them a try, you won't regret it!

Food is good staff is friendly .my frustration is about the constant missing sauce, I can't be the only one...can I?? I always place my order via phone to save time,this time I had to wait 29mins after I arrived, even though I called at 4 to be ready by 6 They wrap the bags so good it's not easy to check when you get your order and it's busy to hold up the counter...I even try confirming multiple times: at time I place the phone order, When i arrive to pay When i retreive my order to when they hand it to me...I even try to watch I have caught it a few times...but sometimes have been met with "yes we know extra sauce, or that's not your oder" I have multiple times had this problem, I ask for extra sauce and I get none I've asked for sauce on the side, I get none This time I had to pay for extra garlic sauce which is fine, but I got Tahini, I called as I was annoyed I had to pay and didn't even get what I paid for, they offered me a small salad, I don't really want anything, just what I ask at the time I order. This has over time caused me to reduce the amount of times I eat here, just the frustration on a simple thing, to me it's not the same without sauce, and I don't enjoy it.

I have always loved la Luna. This location lacks a bit of the luster that the full restaurants have but with big prices and a smaller menu. A rice, chicken, and small salad combo is around $21+HST. I upgraded to a large salad. Came to about $26 and change. If you don't have a big appetite it's big enough for 2 meals though. Today's meal came with mostly rice and salad. Very little chicken on top which was disappointing. The pieces were big which is ok but more appropriate for a sandwich in my opinion. Would have looked fuller spread out at least. Fattoush is still great - fresh and flavourful with some vegetables (tomato, raddish, peppers, onion) with the best deep fried pita bits. The server was friendly and helpful when asked about options too. I recommend takeout or a quickstop for a break in this location. Not much to look at really

La Luna was the perfect quick and tasty dinner for our family. The servers were very friendly and accommodating, offering us free fountain drinks to go with our shawarma sandwhich and the Mediterranean platter we ordered. The kafta was the tastiest item by a mile- I highly recommend it! The fattoush salad was really oily however and tasted a bit too vinegary… I’d ask for the dressing on the side if it’s possible. Parking here is a nightmare though, so be prepared to find a nook or crannie to squeeze your vehicle into.

Ordered through Uber Eats and experienced very little effort on La Luna's part. Ordered a shwarma. Chicken was extremely dry, the shwarma was room temperature maybe, and frankly the shwarma tasted maybe a 4 / 10, if I'm being generous.

Had their family feast again. Never disappoints. Lots of fresh ingredients, full of flavour. Tip, for take out ask for pita chips and dressing on the side for the fattoush salad. So when you eat it, mix it yourself and super fresh, even for leftovers!
