Finjan, a standout restaurant nestled in the heart of Mississauga, has been earning loyal fans with its elevated take on Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Whether you're a longtime local or a first-time visitor, one question tends to come up again and again:
What should I order at Finjan?
The answer isn’t simple because there’s a lot to love. From perfectly grilled kebabs to creamy hummus and signature wraps, Finjan’s menu is a journey through bold spices, authentic techniques, and uncompromising quality.
We’re breaking down the most popular dishes that keep customers coming back, whether it’s for dine-in, takeout, or late-night cravings on a delivery app.
Kebabs: A Grilled Classic Done Right
Finjan’s Kebabs are another top-tier favorite, offering deep, smoky flavor and juicy texture with every bite. Made from high-quality ground beef or lamb, the Kofta Kebabs are mixed with onions, parsley, and house spices, then grilled to perfection. If you prefer whole cuts, the Shish Kebabs chunks of marinated beef or chicken skewered and flame-grilled are equally popular. Served with fluffy rice, grilled vegetables, and your choice of garlic or tahini sauce, these kebabs deliver that authentic, straight-from-the-grill experience that keeps regulars coming back for more.
Shawarma: Finjan’s Must-Try
No visit to Finjan is complete without trying their Shawarma. Available in both chicken and beef, it’s arguably the most talked-about dish on the menu.
What sets it apart?
-
Flavorful Marinade: The meat is marinated for hours in a house blend of spices, garlic, and herbs.
-
Perfect Texture: It’s slow-roasted on a vertical spit until it’s crispy on the outside and juicy inside.
-
Customizable: Served as a plate with rice and salad, or wrapped in fresh pita with pickles and garlic sauce.
Customers often rave about the Chicken Shawarma Wrap, which balances savory protein with creamy garlic toum and a punch of acidity from pickled turnips.
If you're hungry, upgrade to the Shawarma Plate which comes loaded with rice, hummus, salad, and freshly baked pita.
Falafel: Crispy, Golden, and Vegan-Friendly
Another Finjan favorite? The Falafel.
These chickpea-based fritters are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection.
Unlike many fast-food falafels that can be dry or bland, Finjan’s version is:
-
Made fresh to order
-
Spiced with cumin, coriander, and garlic
-
Paired with tahini and fresh veggies
They’re a top pick for vegetarians and vegans or anyone who appreciates a satisfying, plant-based bite. Order them solo, in a wrap, or as part of a combo plate.
Mixed Grill Platter: For the Protein Lovers
Looking for variety on one plate? The Mixed Grill Platter is a carnivore’s dream.
This dish showcases Finjan’s mastery of charcoal grilling and includes:
-
Shish Tawook (grilled chicken breast cubes)
-
Kofta Kebabs (minced beef with onions and herbs)
-
Grilled Beef or Lamb Skewers
Served with rice, grilled vegetables, and garlic or tahini sauce, this platter is perfect for sharing or keeping all to yourself.
It’s one of the most popular dishes among groups, especially for dinner or catering events.
Hummus & Appetizers: Small Plates, Big Flavor
Middle Eastern dining is all about the mezze—the small plates that start the meal and set the tone.
Finjan delivers on that front with:
-
Hummus: Creamy, rich, and drizzled with olive oil. Simple, but elevated.
-
Baba Ghanoush: Smoky eggplant dip that’s perfect with fresh pita.
-
Tabbouleh & Fattoush: Fresh herb salads with bright lemony notes.
These starters are often ordered alongside mains, but many customers build an entire meal out of mezze alone.
Pro tip: get the Appetizer Combo for a little bit of everything.
Why These Dishes Keep Customers Coming Back
So what’s behind the popularity of these dishes?
It comes down to consistency and authenticity. Whether it’s the juicy shawarma or the rich hummus, Finjan’s team led by passionate cooks prioritizes:
-
Freshness: Ingredients are prepped daily.
-
Authentic Recipes: Inspired by Middle Eastern culinary traditions.
-
Hygiene & Quality Control: Especially important for takeout and delivery orders.
In an area as diverse as Mississauga, Finjan has found a way to stand out—not just with flavor, but with trust.
Final Thoughts
If you’re visiting Finjan for the first time, start with the classics: Kebab, Shawarma Wrap, Lentil Soup, and a side of hummus. From there, explore deeper into the menu with Saj wraps or the Mixed Grill Platter.
Each bite offers a taste of tradition, balanced with a modern, customer-focused approach. That’s what makes Finjan more than just a Middle Eastern restaurant it’s a community favorite with something for everyone
