Acacia Fine Foods

HALAL
We always drove by this place and wanted to try it. Finally did!
This is a nice restaurant that’s located in a busy little area. The restaurant inside is very clean and the atmosphere is inviting and fun. They have Arabic music playing and you can smell the food.
The food is delicious! We tried the chicken shawarma sandwich and the mixed shawarma plate. The chicken sandwich tasted delicious! There was just the right amount of garlic sauce, tender chicken, and none of that unnecessary tomato or other vegetables that should not be in a shawarma. The plate was also just as delicious. Their beef shawarma surprised me because it was tender and cooked to perfection and marinated perfectly, Every bite of the beef strip was savoury. I’ve been to other places where the beef wasn’t cooked proper or some pieces were undercooked and others overcooked. Not this place.
To top it off, their service was great! So attentive and on-​point! Hope they keep it up!

Worst service i have ever seen. ordered sisha, requested for filter and we got dat after 30 min.

Live very close to this place and I have never checked it out. Came here around 3pm and the place was completely dead. I thought this was my first flag. Ordered a half moon falafel sandwich and the wait was a tad bit long. But the bread was made fresh in their oven. I have to say though, the falafel sandwich was the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve tried them everywhere). I even ate the sandwich way later than when I bought it. I must try it here again fresh. The manakeesh looked intriguing as well as I order it at other places.

The manakeesh is delicious! I’d especially recommend the Buffalo Chicken Pizza and the Beef with Cheese. Great late-​night assignment fuel ;)

Not the best kebab and rice option in Mississauga for sure.
I do like their fatoush salad though. They make their own pita so when they make the pita chips it comes out great.
This place has potential only if they find a more dedicated kitchen staff
Server staff are friendly.

I give this 2 stars just because the waiters are really friendly but the food is bland and the grilled items are just «overcooked» and missing flavor!
Wouldn’t recommend it!

So I ordered delivery from this restaurant today through SkipTheDishes and trust that I was incredibly surprised at the quality of the food.
I was expecting average food at best — let me just say — as someone who is picky and expects robust and intense flavours — this hit the spot on so many levels.
The sausage and beef manakesh is possibly better than at Paramount which I went to often as a child. Their shawarma is huge, seemingly made with freshly baked pita! They don’t hold back on filling it with tahini and meat. It’s huge — I have a big appetite but I could barely finish that shawarma.
I wish I had ordered from this establishment sooner — I plan to order again in the near future. The food is well priced, intensely flavoured and fresh — how can you go wrong?

This was a rediculous venue for something to eat… empty fridges… place looks like a ware house… went in and right away went out… it didn’t give any feel of a restaurant at all… ugly décor and lots of TV screens with ugly menu colors… will never step in again… there was on table only at the restaurant… very arrogant owner..

The best shawarma in Mississauga so far. The toppings are not cold and fresh which is perfect for the sandwich temperature. They press the sandwich in the panini machine which make it warm and tiny crispy

The best middle eastern food in Mississauga. We eat there every week. Good service and clean restaurant.

I would usually start a review with a few pros about the restaurant, but my experience left such a sour taste in my mouth I actually cant think of any. I didnt see one server or cashier with a smile, I could sense an attitude with every word uttered from any of them. We never received anything after asking the first time. We didnt get our pitas until after our meal came, were not offered drinks or were given water even after we asked 2 times. The servers dont even try to make eye contact as they walk past you, the food wasnt anything special either. The rice was bland, the kafta was extremely oily, the lettuce looked like it was scooped from a week old plate of left overs. Overall, do yourself a favor and do NOT even give this place a thought. Avoid it, there are 2 paramounts within 5 minutes of this place (Erin mills town centre, Heartland).

Like the food, very authentic, hate the sitting area, seems large and open in unusual way, waiting time is long for such ‘almost empty’ place.

Seriously, nothing particularly tasty. Food is bland, service very sparse and slow despite being a slow night overall. Don’t waste your time or money.

Gr8 place, but getting bored of the same menus all Mediterranean restaurants have these days, I hope they add some good items to freshen it up.

I’ve grown up eating a lot of Lebanese food — every time I go to different areas in Toronto for Lebanese food I am disappointed BUT Acacia is now our go to! Discovered it last year when I was driving along Burnhamthorpe and I’m glad I did! This place is so welcoming, clean and sooooo delicious! The taste is so authentic and the prices are cheap considering the flavours and portions. Always leave here happy!

First visit here last night for take out and it was great. Got the chicken shawrma and shish tawouk plates. The owner is really friendly, as was the cook and server.
The food was really tasty. The meat for the shawrma I noticed was partially breast meat which speaks to their quality. The pita bread that comes with the meal is ahhhhhmazing. I think its made fresh in their round oven. The garlic sauce is great too. The only part of the meal that could be improved on is the salad. Its just different items. Probably be better if everything was combined with a nice sauce.
They also have different baklava which was $ 25/​kg. I got 0.3 kg which came to around $ 7 and got about 12 pieces.
Acacia is now going to be my go to place for shawrma cravings!

Hands down the most Authentic Lebanese joint in the GTA.
Keep in mind this is not a full service style restaurant. It is the Lebanese version of a fast food joint.
Being Lebanese myself this is the closest thing to back home eating I’ve had. The falafel is always fresh made to order and made from scratch, no powdered mix. The Foul is delicious and don’t get me started on the kabobs. Hummus tastes like my mom makes.
My whole family are now regulars here. Soo happy there is finally some good Lebanese food in Mississauga.

With the amount of Middle Eastern restaurants popping up all over the city, these restaurants really need to stand out to be remembered and revisited.
Acadia is a pretty new place that has opened in the past year. It’s very large and the tables are very spaced out.
They have a main menu and a separate dessert menu with a variety of desserts and juices. These were pretty pricy.
I had the Chicken Shawarma plate. It was decent, but there just wasn’t anything about it that would get me to come back. I also enjoyed their chocolate cake, but there just wasn’t a wow factor with any of it. I didn’t have any problems with the service or the food, but it’s not a place I would jump out of my seat to recommend.

(Sorry sweet server who constantly had a smile on her face and gave us free cookies! My experience was dampered by your fellow waitress who looked as though she ate something rotten and couldn’t care less.)
Good:
— portion size
— large, newly reno’ed restaurant that looks as though it can accommodate large groups
— food-​wise, everything tasted fresh
— falafel tasted nicely seasoned
— meals come with 2 fresh, puffed pitas
Needs Improvement:
— menu NEEDS either photos/​description. It looks more like a take-​out menu!
— waitress with don’t care/​sour face
— had to flag staff down for help
— water never refilled
— after asking for takeout box, sour waitress just flung it onto the table and left
— I don’t think cookies/​baklava are made in-​house. Baklava is pre-​packaged in clear containers, so you can’t buy different pieces
Dinner Plate comes with either rice/​fries. I got the rice, lots of it, but it was NOT seasoned, therefore a bit difficult to eat it all! I would prefer less rice, but better tasting. And «side salad» that came with dinner plate was more like sandwich fixings, so I found it hard to eat on its own.
Minus *s due to service. A coupla of the waitresses looked as though they were doing whatever they could to avoid coming to tables. I also had to ask how the ordering worked, no one greeted us. Food is not good enough to come back for more attitude.

New middle Eastern Lebanese food restaurant at the corner of Central parkway West and Burnhamthorpe Rd.
Large and spacious, clean and very well renovated. Super friendly waitresses and became even friendlier, when we were told them we were Unilocalers. They asked why we were taking photos. Huge selection of fresh fruit juices and exotic desserts. Also very tasty. A little on the pricey side though; $ 5 per fruit juice.
We had the lamb, chicken skewer plate with long, grain basmati rice. Meat was moist and tasty. We also ordered a dip made of egg plant called Kebbeh. The garlic sauce that went with the meats was awesome. Just breathe hard on someone after that!
The washrooms were very clean and brand new. Place is also brightly lit with LED pot lights and pretty, sparkly chandeliers.
Oh, forgot to mention that the hummus was very tasty too but the hot sauce mixed with the hummus was even better! Gave it a punch!
We’ll definitely be back here!
