Sinbad Bakery and Grill

Sinbad Bakery and Grill has quickly become Barrie's go-to destination for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, with diners consistently praising the fresh, homemade quality of their signature dishes. The chicken shawarma wraps receive rave reviews for their generous portions and perfect seasoning, while the manakeesh—particularly the za'atar, cheese, and meat varieties—are celebrated as some of the best in the GTA. Owner Sharif and his family create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like visiting relatives, often surprising guests with complimentary treats like baklava or samples. While some note occasional inconsistency in portion sizes or wish for more robust garlic sauce, most agree this family-run gem delivers exceptional value and authentic flavors that transport you straight to the Levant.
