Haida Sandwich restaurant is almost known for its Halal Persian style sandwiches and pizzas. The restaurant menu has a wide variety of different Halal sandwiches and pizzas (with no limitation on the toppings), which turned only visiting customers to a regular client. This restaurant is located at Yonge street with great access to the North York Centre and Finch subway stations.

Located in the shopping center where customers will surprisingly find the cutest little shop that serves sandwiches and pizza, only a true Middle-Eastern knows. One of their unique dishes is “Soosis Bandari Sandwich” (kind of Halal hotdog sandwich). It sounds plain, but trust me, it’s not a regular sandwich. Soosis Bandari is stuffed with lettuce, tomato, pickles, special sauce, and Shoestring Potatoes. When then put them all together, it tastes heavenly. The restaurant atmosphere is cute and cozy, the waitstaffs working there are very friendly and helpful.
