Adonis

What is Adonis? Anchored just off Eglinton Avenue East on Ashtonbee Road in Wexford/Maryvale, Adonis is a sprawling Lebanese-Mediterranean supermarket powerhouse with an energized prepared-foods counter at its core. The room is a sensory rush of blistered dough rolling off conveyor belts, garlic-scented steam, and overflowing crates of imported specialties. Seating is no-frills, cafeteria-style, built for diving straight into heaping hot plates before or after working through your grocery list.

Adonis Menu & What to Order Make a beeline for the hot bar for crisp-edged chicken shawarma carved straight from the spit and whole rotisserie chickens spiced with garlic and sumac. The bakery case shines with blistered manaeesh, savoury mini lahmajoun, and golden spinach-feta hand pies that easily rival standalone bakeries. Balance the meats with silky hummus, brine-cured akkawi or halloumi from the cheese counter, and a fresh carton of honeyed baklava.

Know Before You Go It is strictly walk-in cafeteria service, meaning you order at the counters, pay, and claim an open table in the bustling dining section. The massive front parking lot gets congested during peak weekend hours, making weekday mornings and late afternoons the smartest time to avoid long deli lines. The market runs Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with an 8:00 p.m. close on Sundays.
