Phenomenal food at extremely reasonable prices. Really expansive menu of Lebanese delights that I'm excited to explore. Hoping the owners succeed in getting the word out about the quality of what they're serving here, I'm looking forward to reading about it on BlogTO and having to line up next time I'm here :)

Best Lebanese restaurant i’ve tried so far! Felt so happy to have authentic mediterranean food and this place is my new to go to place. So far i have tried the Taouk sandwich, daily platter (kibbe), hummus, fries, Kunafa, and homemade pies. My favourite was the kunafa! Highly recommended!

Excellent food, amazing service! Truly exceptional catering. We ordered from El Gourmet for our Christmas gathering yesterday and they did not disappoint. The food was authentic, tasted amazing and their service is top notch. The Kibbeh was crunchy and tasted amazing, best Tabbouleh and Fattoush I have tried here and the chicken with rice reminded me of our Christmas gatherings in Lebanon. Highly recommended.

First time trying the new location on Church street Toronto. Absolutely amazing! Staff were very helpful and friendly. I love how they display all the skewers in the front fridge and grill all the meats to order. The chicken shawarma was so flavourful and juicy. Extremely affordable as well! 10/10

Have been waiting for a real authentic Lebanese take out downtown for so long then I found the El Gourmet Express at 820 church street, I took a friend with me and introduced her to the falafel, kibbeh and salad, she absolutely loved it, as I did. Service is excellent food is delicious and the ambiance is awesome. I was so impressed that I am having a family dinner this weekend and have ordered my food from there. I hope everyone reading this would try this awesome place. Thank you El Gourmet. The food was a big hit with all family members
