Aleppo Kebab

What is Aleppo Kebab? Tucked into a strip plaza at 2075 Lawrence Avenue East near Warden in Wexford-Maryvale, Aleppo Kebab is a dedicated Syrian grill founded by Zakaria Mokdad and Chef Antranig Kanajyan. The bright, unpretentious room centres on the aroma of meats searing over lava-rock grills. Dining is casual and family-friendly, featuring simple four-top tables and booths built for hearty platters rather than lingering bar visits.

Aleppo Kebab Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out authentic Syrian and Armenian grilled specialties, certified halal and seasoned with distinct northern Syrian spice blends. Order the Mixed Kebab Plate, which loads char-grilled Aleppo beef skewers and tender garlic-marinated shish taouk over fluffy rice with punchy garlic sauce and spiced flatbread. Be sure to add a side of muhammara, the cheese-and-beef pressed toshka, or a blistered sujuk manakish from the oven.

Know Before You Go Seating is first-come, first-served with no formal reservations, so expect brief waits during weekend dinner rushes and a steady flow of takeout traffic. Free surface parking is readily available throughout the strip mall plaza, and the 54 Lawrence East bus stops directly out front. The kitchen stays open late seven days a week, making it a dependable post-midnight pit stop.
