chicken shawarma...so full of chicken it spills out

Two streets north of wellesley on yonge is Yummis. It might look like just another shawarma place on yonge st. but inside is where magic happens...well maybe not quite but they do make a pretty damn good shawarma and burger. So good in fact I've been ignoring my food blogging duties lately and just going back here. Great value and friendly service too. I think for cheap quick lunch downtown, Yummis is hard to beat.

The chicken shawarma ($4.99 + tax), I'd rank as one of the best downtown and the fact that it comes with a drink is just icing on the pie. Unlike most places that roll up their shawarmas, Yummis just stuffs the pita full of delicious chicken. They also put tzatziki sauce, mixed with I think dill, in the shawarma which gives it a unique taste compared to other places...but in a good way. So to sum up, reasons for trying the chicken shawarma at Yummis? Cheap, tasty, big, and comes with drink. Reasons not to? None.

Another one of their offerings is the Yummis burger ($4.99 + tax, cheese extra $0.50) though this one doesn't come with a drink. It's just a simple massive 10oz unpretentious burger for $5...what's not to like? I don't think I've seen hamburger buns that big before and the pictures really don't do it justice, it's alot bigger than it looks in the pictures. Even though the patty is so big, the meat wasn't dry at all and much like the shawarma, gets the thumbs up.

Cheap and tasty...now if they just had a bunch of busty asian waitresses I'd I've died and gone to heaven but even still, Yummis is probably one of my favourite lunch spots downtown.
