This takeout place is so small that only the first 4 people in the lineup fit inside, and this place ALWAYS has a lineup. The most popular location is the one on Robson/Granville corner facing Sears and Futureshop/Winners. The food quality is quite consistent and shawarmas are pretty easy to eat while walking on the street. When I have a shawarma craving, I always come here!

Chicken Shawarma ~$5

I always get this flavour because it smells the best. I usually don't get it with any hot sauce but I've been told that its quite good spicy. The chicken is really tasty with 'the works' but after eating it I usually feel a little heavy... :( But you must try this!!

This place is right beside the Broadway skytrain station and is always rolling out fresh pizza because of their continuous stream of customers. The people who work there and the people who eat there are pretty chill. Quality of their pizza is very consistent. Individual slices are $1.60/ea. Good value combo: 2 slices and pop add up to $4

Pesto Spinach and Cheese Pizza

You have the option of drizzling some ranch sauce which adds to the flavour. I like the pizzas for their thin crust and taste. Yummy! Every time I come here I have the pesto.

They've got a variety of items on their menu but so far I've only tried their toasted panini which are around $7 each. This is a great place to go for lunch but it does get quite packed because of its location. Unfortunately it closes around 8pm since it's not really not restaurant but I frequently see people come get take-out orders.

Tuna & Capers Panino

I love this sandwich! Its my ultimate comfort food when I'm craving tuna. Toasted crunchy thick bread, creamy lemony tuna...mmmMM I'll never forget the first time and all the subsequent times I have eaten this savory panino.

Prosciutto, Tomato, Bocconcini Panino

Very hearty! I like how the prosciutto isn't overly salty. The bocconcini really makes this taste good, it really hits the spot.

Vegetable Rigatoni ~$13

Fresh ingredients really make this pasta yummy. The asparagus, tomato, zucchini, spinach, mushroom were light and tasted refreshingly sweet. There was barely any oil residue left in the sauce making this pasta very delectable. You have to try this!!

Salsicca Pasta ~$13
Super tasty and I think its my favourite pasta from Brioche. Personally its too big for me to finish in one sitting, but I can keep eating it as long as the plate isn't empty yet. The tomato-based sauce is refreshing with meat bits mixed in.

Iced Cappuccino ~$4

This tall glass is very refreshing on a hot day. It has a good coffee flavour with real chocolate stirred in. The whipped cream on top is a yummy bonus!
