Coming soon: Grill 4 U express to open in days

As you probably know, the Indian take-out restaurant Harbour Tandoori Grille at 218 Queens Quay West closed down in late March. It was a little sad because it's not a bad thing if the little businesses can survive, even thrive, on our street.

We've noticed in the past week or so that there was some renovations happening in that spot and today, the workers unveiled the sign for a new Middle Eastern restaurant.



We did a little search and found that this is part of a business in Vaughan and that the new store is set to open on June 1, Monday. From the Grill 4 U website, this is what we can glean.

Menu: Falafel, shawarma, kebobs, grilled chicken, burgers along with such sides as hummus, baba ganoush, tabouleh, greek salad.

The restaurant is based in Woodbridge and has two 'express' stores in Vaughan and on Queens Quay in a few days. The restaurant's description from its website.

Middle Eastern cuisine has never tasted better or been so enjoyably affordable than at Grill 4 U, winner of the 2008 Vaughan Citizen Reader’s Choice Award. The family run eatery, in only two short years, has built an enviable reputation for authentic, homemade falafel, shawarma, hummus and other Middle Eastern cuisine.

“Everything is made fresh daily, from scratch using only the finest ingredients,” says chef/owner Nihad Hazboun. “By using wholesome ingredients and our signature spices, we provide delicious natural foods of the Middle East, while catering to our customers’ increasing awareness of health and nutrition.”

The key to the success of Grill 4 U, is the tangy blend of shawarma spices prepared and perfected over a number of years by Nihad. “We use 15 different Mediterranean spices, passed down from generation to generation to create the perfectly spiced shawarma sandwich. It’s become my own creation and it keeps people coming back, day after day,” he says.
