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.
We were returning from a few days of road trip & wanted to try something different on the way back home. When searching for a shawarma place, found this one & felt lucky. Ordered shish taouk poulet bowl & a shish taouk shawarma; the rice was having a great flavor & the chicken was great too. Portion size was reasonable & we ended up buying rice & chicken on the side for later. 🙂 the price was felt to be a little on the higher side though but the quality balanced to most extent.
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 spot for a quick & filling meal! Baba Shawarma serves generous portions that definitely hit the spot. The place was clean & well-kept, with plenty of parking available. It wasn't busy when I went, so service was fast & smooth. Perfect if you're looking for something tasty without the wait.
We didn't like the Lebanese place near our house so we went looking for an alternative. This one is a bit further but well worth it. Staff is friendly, it looked like dad & his son working the counter. The food is very good & they portions are generous at a fair price. We ordered a shishtaouk plate for everyone & it was enough for supper & two good lunches.

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!
