This Year’s National Shawarma Day Specials
These prices are available Thursday, October 15th only. In-store only.
🥙 $4.99 Pita — Chicken Shawarma or Falafel
The lowest price we have ever offered on a pita wrap in seven years of business.
Chicken Shawarma Pita — Our signature. Chicken marinated overnight in a Syrian spice blend dating back to 1940 — sumac, seven-spice, cardamom, garlic, lemon — slow-cooked on the vertical spit all day and shaved fresh for every single order. Wrapped in warm pita with house-made garlic sauce, pickled turnips brined in our kitchen, and fresh vegetables.
This is the wrap people drive across the GTA for. The one with hundreds of five-star Google reviews. The one that makes first-timers stop mid-bite and say “wait, what is in this garlic sauce?” On October 15th — $4.99.
Falafel Pita — Crispy, golden, herb-packed falafel made fresh and fried to order. Wrapped in warm pita with house-made tahini, fresh vegetables, and pickled turnips. The vegetarian wrap that meat-eaters order just as often. Also $4.99 on October 15th.
🍚 $8.99 Bowl on Basmati Rice — Chicken Shawarma or Falafel
The full Mooring Eats bowl experience at our most generous price ever.
Chicken shawarma or crispy falafel over fragrant basmati rice — topped with fresh vegetables, house-made sauces, and all the flavours that have made our rice bowl one of the most talked-about dishes in South Etobicoke. The bowl that comes with that drizzle of pomegranate molasses that makes every first-timer stop and ask what it is. On October 15th — $8.99.

What Is National Shawarma Day?
For anyone discovering this for the first time — National Shawarma Day falls on October 15th every year and is celebrated across Canada and beyond. It’s a day dedicated to one of the world’s most beloved street foods: slow-roasted, spice-marinated meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie and served in fresh bread with house-made sauces and pickled vegetables.
Shawarma traces its roots to the Ottoman Empire and evolved differently across Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, and Egypt over centuries. Syrian shawarma — the tradition at the heart of Mooring Eats — is built on a layered spice profile, generous house-made condiments, and a commitment to cooking that simply cannot be rushed. Our recipe dates back to 1940, and we’ve been bringing it to South Etobicoke every day since 2019.
National Shawarma Day is the one day a year this dish gets the global celebration it deserves. And at Mooring Eats, we’ve been showing up for it bigger every year.
Seven Years of Shawarma in South Etobicoke
This year’s National Shawarma Day hits differently. We celebrated our 7th anniversary in July, and October 15th feels like the perfect bookend to a year that reminded us why we do this.
Seven years of the spit running every day. Seven years of making the garlic sauce from scratch every morning. Seven years of brining our own pickled turnips, making our own tahini, and refusing to pour anything out of a commercial bag. Seven years of the South Etobicoke community — Mimico, New Toronto, Long Branch, and beyond — walking through our doors and making Mooring Eats their shawarma spot.
The $4.99 pita and $8.99 bowl on October 15th are our way of saying thank you. Not with words — with food at the price it deserves to be on a day like this.
