Parallel - Toronto

The food was pretty good and the service was excellent and friendly. The heated terrace had a high ceiling and felt really spacious. I liked the Casual Vibe a lot and it is one of the few restaurants in the area with high-quality food that opens at 10 a.m. on Sunday.

The best hummus! as well as all other delicious items on their menu. Fluffiest pitas. Huge Falafel! Many vegetarian / vegan and GF options. Many meals and dives also available.

A beautiful brunch on the terrace! Loved the food and aromas and it tastes even better than it looks. We had the chicken shawarma hummus, falafel and hearty knafeh and enjoyed every bite. Loved the terrace and summer vibes! We will definitely be back

Israel lands seriously in Toronto. Parallel has one of the best collections of Middle Eastern food. First, you must have one of the two salads. They are both massive and full of taste. No meal is complete without the hummus and the selection is perfect from traditional to adventure with a truffle hummus. When it comes to falafel, you hit the jackpot with one of the best falafels I had for years. The crunch and the amount of parsley is from the hook. Finishing the food, you have to try the Babka. The cinnamon and nourishes a litter. Once you finish this meal, you need to enjoy a Turkish coffee or mint tea and talk how amazing this meal meets home.

Very solid middle eastern restaurant with exceptional hummus, pitas, and lots of goodies to go (in their store). Bit out of the way but worth the drive. Not usually a salad guy (and most places highly overrate their salad) but this place?s ?parallel salad? has to be one of the best salads in the city. Really well balanced and well seasoned with kale, green onions, lentils, feta, sweet potatoes, etc. They also have some of the best pitas and hummus around- you can purchase these to take home at their store inside (pitas both fresh and frozen) and stockpile these for late night munchies. Their shakshuka is quite good but I would say not quite as solid as Cafe Landwer- bit watery and bit oily but flavours are there. Phenomenal falafels- exactly how falafels should taste- too many bad falafels exist in the city, this place corrects that. I like how you can order off the main menu (with the exception of the mains) for their weekend brunch, and unlike many places- it?s not limited to just the brunch menu. It?s a bit out of the way but it?s right by Blood Brothers, Good Behaviour, Dark Horse, and some really nice little shops (and Famiglia on the weekdays). Well worth a visit
