Monday evening, I wandered east of Eglinton West and Weston looking for some Mexican food but Enchilados Taqueria and Tacontento were closed. I walked all the way to Westside Mall (Freshco, Canadian Tire) near Caledonia and got a croissant ($2.50) from Caldense Bakery (whose production center was nearby). Although there were a few blocks of businesses between Keele and Kane, it was an unpleasant road. This stretch of Eglinton felt quite pedestrian-unfriendly with multiple lanes of heavy and fast traffic.
There were mostly meat-heavy options (J.J. Fried Chicken, numerous Caribbean take-outs) so on the way back, I finally stopped at Two Brothers Shawarma. Were 2 of the 5 people behind the counter the epynomous siblings? Probably not as there were 2 other locations in Toronto. I ordered the falafel plate ($13.99) for dinner.
It was similar to the veggie plate I usually have at Laziza. The rice wasn't as fragrant (since it was only steamed) and there were less options for the toppings to but they were fresh. The 5 falafel balls were large, nutty, and nicely fried. Overall it was a better offering for both flavour and food-to-price ratio than similar choices in Ottawa.
