Reviewers consistently praise Baba Shawarma for flavorful, generously portioned Lebanese dishes with juicy meat, fresh sauces, and homemade saj bread, often calling it the best shawarma in the south shore. The service is described as fast, friendly and welcoming, with a clean, cozy vibe and portions that feel like good value. Menu highlights such as shawarma (beef and chicken), shish taouk, kafta, and plates with pickled veggies on saj are noted for authenticity and generous toppings, with many mentioning leftovers that still taste great. A few comments mention minor issues like occasional busy moments or table cleanliness, but overall the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive and the restaurant is recommended as a top choice for shawarma and Lebanese flavors in the area.

Amazing shawarma!
Juicy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, & super fresh. Great portions, delicious sauces, & fast friendly service. Definitely one of the best shawarma spots highly recommended!
Even though the service was fast, the counter waiter was wearing an earpiece & was almost shouting when taking our orders. He was still respectful but it just felt a bit distant & unpleasant. The food itself was tasty. I really enjoyed the thin bread that they offee. Unlike the thick pita bread, the thinner bread has a much crispier texture & it makes the ratio of bread & toppings much more balanced in my opinion & I enjoyed it so much more. The meat inside was also tender & enjoyable. While the sauce was leaking a hit everywhere, it was pretty flavourful & complemented the rest of the ingredients pretty well. The overall was quite tasty & filling as well. For around 10$ , you can enjoy a large shhawarma bread which tasted great. The restaurant was also surprisingly clean. Considering how messy it gets when we eat, I was happy to see that the tables were not greasy nor sticky. I do wish though that they would serve the food on plates or trays. It would make me feel less guilty when I am making a mess when eating my food. Finally, we were the only table that night & the fire kept opening for take out orders which made the dining experience a bit less pleasant but the overall was still quite enjoyable.
Delicious Shawarma Spot in Montreal!
Stumbled upon this gem while exploring the city, so glad we did! The shawarma was perfectly spiced, & loaded with fresh toppings. Portions were generous, & the garlic sauce was next level. Friendly staff & quick service made the experience even better. Highly recommend for a quick, satisfying bite in Montreal!
Great food, simple seating arrangement. They give you a few extra touches that you don't get from the chains, making it a tad more authentic. Tasty vine leaves, well balanced garlic sauce & delicious meat! Well done baba!
I literally cried eating this. Baba Shawarma is the BEST shawarma place I've ever been to. The veggies were extremely juicy, the chicken was seasoned perfectly, the potatoes had an amazing texture, the sauces were the best, the rice was an amazing filler, & the salads I picked has nice distinct flavours. We paid around $21 (tax + tip included) for a platter. My dad & I both couldn't finish it, & will happily eat the rest later. I'm genuinely so happy I came to try this restaurant out.
Très belle découverte! À la hauteur de sa réputation, les "Shish Taouk" sont Excellents ; le poulet, la sauce, le pain maison (Saj) en font un met signature savoureux! Impossible d'être déçu!
