Some days, you’re on day 3 of your«I eat salads ALL the time» healthy eating kick, but it’s 4:30 pm and your stomach is not impressed. That loud grumbling? Um, me. I make it to the end of the work day, and see World Wrap Place like a desert hiker seeing a mirage, but this was real! I ordered a falafel wrap from the friendly gentleman at the counter, digging through my coin purse for the $ 6.85(cash and interact only). 3 minutes later, my wrap was ready — warm, flavourful, and with fresh falafel goodness. A couple of blocks later, I was full of happiness and deliciousness, thanks to World Wrap Place. Definitely recommended for a quick bite, salad kick or not :)

Probably the prettiest shwarma I’ve ever had! $ 8.50 for large chicken shwarma. I wouldn’t really consider it a large but it was JUST enough(or maybe I have a larger than average appetite, hmmm…) It comes with lettuce, tomato, onions and a bit of tabouli. They offer those pink pickled radishes at no extra cost but only by request. The wrap itself was a bit thin and I had some problems keeping all the insides on the inside, but that really only means it was loaded with delicious filling. The chicken had excellent flavour and was juicy on the inside with a bit of crisp on the outside — awesome! A literal hole in the wall, this place is next to the Rain nightclub and serves up some pretty delicious chicken shwarmas with friendly and quick service.

I came by this little gem of a place while strolling through Gastown, I had the beef donair and it was amazing, the portions are good and the customer service is excellent, this is the best beef donair in the city, I love donairs and I could not be happier to find this place, customer service was also excellent! Go World Wrap Place!

Okay. This one hit me in the face when I was least expecting it. One day when the skytrain was broken down(yes, you all know it) after work, I was walking around listlessly like a woman in the desert hoping to find water in Gastown. It was getting late and pretending to be a tourist in my own city wasn’t entertaining anymore because of growing hunger pangs. I just couldn’t justify spending $ 20 on dinner at some ritzy touristy pub and kept walking. It was about 6:45 when I came across this literal HOLE in the wall. It was a serving hole with a counter space and some welcoming lights. I saw two Eastern European tourists, a man and woman, sitting outside on one of their patio chairs. Loitering next to them were haggard looking street people smoking and talking loudly. The woman was stuffing her face so fast I thought she’d suffocate herself. Not bad for advertising. I became interested and asked her what she had and she looked up long enough to tell me her order. I said to the guy in the hole, ‘what she has’. He smiled big and went about his work. ITWASAMAZING. It was perfect. I mean this thing was lean, mean and bang on. I don’t know how exactly he had the meat flavoured or what kind of sauce he was drizzling on it, hot sauce and some kind of mayonaise dressing. It was on a bed of fresh lettuce and pure meat from heaven. GOHERE. Be prepared to stand and eat as seating is limited and who knows who’s loitering nearby. The prices aren’t cheap. This guy knows he can milk it. For the bed of lettuce and meat, it was about $ 10. For extra meat, it’s another $ 2.50 or $ 3. It’s way better than the touristy pubs.

Love this place. The small mexican is delish!!! The owner is really nice and will make your wrap the way you want. And the ingredients are always fresh. I work across the street so I come here at least once a month if more(I usually pack a lunch).

A true Hole-in-the-wall. And a gem. The donairs are deliciously fresh. Both the chicken and the beef donair are seasoned and cooked to perfection — juicy meat but with crispy bits throughout the wrap. A small is a decent lunch size though I’ll stuff my face with a large — I just can’t help myself!

solid 3.5 stars for location and good food. In my rare moments of weakness, if you want a quick place to grab fast food, good and cheap, while club hopping here in Gastown… but what I don’t like is them using bare hands to make food lol… used to workers wearing plastic gloves. Not a place to sit down, more for takeout. just one patio table for 2 – 4 ppl. Still think Koala Kebabs is best in town. beside lamplighter pub.

I love this little shack! It’s the perfect, quick, after-work meal when you are too hungry to wait and walk back home. You can smell the shawarma a block away and it makes my mouth water every time. Nearly every wrap I’ve had has been awesome. I love the chicken, the sauces, all the fresh veggies… very filling for the great price point of $ 8(for large). As I write this, I’m drooling… I plan to grab one tonight while heading home :)

This place isn’t exactly a classy eatery, it’s just a booth with a couple of tables on the street, but the food is good, the portions are generous and it’s extremely good value. Shawarma wrap for 6 $? Yes please! Oh, and they have Coke in a glass bottle which is the only way to drink cola. Seriously, there’s a by-law, look it up, I know you won’t. All in all this place is hard to heart if you want a good, quick, tasty bit of food for your lunch.

Pretty good. The hot sauce is the real deal.

Super quick, with service that was refreshingly friendly given dealing with a lot of drunk morons at 1am. The toppings weren’t very varied, but the speed/service made up for it. No seating beyond some plastic chairs outside.

During the recent trip to the BC exploring the gastown area we came across this small place squeezed between the shops and the nite club. We tried the falafal and the chicken wrap and was amazed with the taste and quality of the food. The hot sauce had the perfect blend of the sweetness and chilly. Unlike the other review the falafal we got werent dry and tasted good. The chicken was juicy and warm. The pita was also soft. Its in BC i have seen that they open the pita and put the filling inside may be that adds to the taste. In short we all liked the place. The location is good have a quick bite and hit the clubs :)
