Great spot for shawarma & tasty boza (ice cream). The atmosphere & workers are very welcoming & generous. Chicken shawarma is much better than beef but both are great price & quality. The falafel are filling & made authentically.
I honestly felt like I was back home the moment I took my first bite!
The shawarma tasted exactly like the one we grew up eating, perfectly seasoned, juicy, & fries inside just right. It's so rare to find that true homemade Lebanese flavor… but they absolutely nailed it.
The fattouche was incredible: fresh, flavorful, & so authentic. It genuinely reminded me of my mom's homemade salad & they do the mixing on the spot!
We also had some falafel! Crunchy on the outside, soft & delicious on the inside. Simply perfect combination.
MUST ORDER THE FRIES!
The service was incredible & the girl on the cashier took her time to explain & was very patient with our picky order!
PS: didn't have time to take pictures as my kids started eating on the spot!
I had been curious about this place for a while, & now I completely understand all the great reviews.
We visited with our family & were still able to get seated, which was a nice surprise. It's a small, charming shawarma & falafel spot! simple, authentic, & full of flavor. The food brought back real memories of the original tastes we enjoyed in the Middle East.
You can truly taste the quality of the ingredients. Everything is fresh, generous, & incredibly affordable. Honestly, I can't remember the last time we paid so little for such a satisfying meal for a family of four.
The owner was exceptionally kind, making sure we enjoyed everything & even offering us complimentary ice cream, which was absolutely delicious. Everyone were super friendly too they serve you with a smile.
This place checks all the boxes of what you hope for in a restaurant. It was definitely worth the long drive, & we'll absolutely be coming back & recommending it to everyone.
Authentic & delicious falafel!
The taste is truly amazing - crispy on the outside, fresh & flavorful on the inside. You can really tell the difference with the parsley & mint; it adds a bright, authentic touch. The portions are generous, & the tarator sauce is so good, it takes everything to another level.
Yes, $9 feels a bit expensive, but considering the quality & the location, it's understandable. Overall, very satisfying & worth trying if you love real, well-made falafel.
The only authentic lebanese shawarma place in Montréal. The beef, chicken & even falafel sandwiches are made to perfection with the proper ingredients & spices. Definitely reminds me of home. I have been going back on a weekly basis since I discovered it. Can get busy but they're very efficient. Keep it up.

Dunya is hands down the best shawarma spot in Montreal. It honestly reminds me of the kind you find across the Levant, simple, authentic, & full of flavor. The chicken is always juicy, the fries are perfectly crisp, the pickles add just the right amount of tang, & the toum is exactly how it should be. No unnecessary extras, no overcomplication, just a classic, perfectly delicious shawarma that hits every time.
This is hands down the best & most authentic shawarma spot I've been to. You can really taste that everything is made with love. The vibe of the restaurant is super cool & welcoming, making it a place you actually want to hang out in, not just grab food & leave. If you're craving real shawarma, this is the place to go.

Hands down the best & most authentic Lebanese shawarma in Montreal. Both the beef & the chicken meat are very well seasoned & very juicy & tender, & they really nailed the fixings inside both sandwiches.
Absolutely love it! Unarguably the most authentic shawarma in Montréal, & it's also really affordable. Both their beef & chicken shawarma taste exactly like Lebanon's.
Hands down the best & most authentic Lebanese beef & chicken shawarma in Montreal. If you're looking for an authentic taste with no extra frills, this is the place to try.
I went randomly there as it was close to where i stayed. I was impressed by the quality of the shawarmas. Tried both beef & chicken, great authentic taste! Falafel has a homemade feeling to it, still very good.
