A little about this place
About Alzaeem (Ridgeway)
Shawarma Alzaeem at 3960 Eglinton Avenue West, Unit 21, brings the Syrian shawarma brand to Ridgeway Plaza, with chicken and beef shawarma served in saj or pita wraps, plates and family platters, alongside falafel, fried and rotisserie chicken and other Middle Eastern staples. The restaurant identifies its food as halal. Reviewers most often praise the well-seasoned meat, garlic sauce, filling portions and saj wraps, with family platters also drawing positive comments for quantity and value. The recurring complaints are less consistent: some diners have received dry chicken, while others report that portions of meat or sides can feel light for the price.
