We serve up simple, delicious shawarma and falafel, made with care and consistency, just like back home with a touch of modern flair. Our goal is to offer tasty, affordable meals that everyone can enjoy, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with friends. We can’t wait to share our love for good food with you. Come by and say hello!
Reviews paint Dunya as a go-to for authentic Lebanese shawarma and falafel, with juicy chicken and beef shawarma, crispy fries, fresh fattoush, and house made toum, plus beloved peach iced tea and ashta ice cream at affordable prices. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive, making dining in or takeout feel easy and enjoyable. People praise quick service, good value, and consistent flavors that remind them of home, even as the venue can get crowded and seating is limited. Occasional notes include delivery mixups or small wraps, but these are outweighed by praise for quality, authenticity, and the overall experience.
Best Shawarma in Montreal by far. I've had the chicken, I've had the beef, I've had the falafel, I've had the fries, I've had the peach tea, I've had the fattouche… I've basically had the whole menu & loved every single thing. Fresh ingredients, amazing flavours & sweet staff. They are always so busy but stay kind & get the food out quickly. I'd give 100 stars if I could.
Also, don't forget to end your meal with an ice cream, also amazing!

Really good chicken shawarma honestly!! The garlic sauce is also bomb. However, there's been times Ive visited in the afternoon & they have ran out of chicken. Also, not really a friendly place to dine in, better to take out, as it's always really busy & there aren't enough tables.
If you're looking for the best authentic shawarma in the Montreal area, Dunya is the place to go! The quality is outstanding, the flavors are rich & authentic, & you can taste the freshness in every bite.
Both the chicken shawarma & the beef/meat shawarma are absolutely perfectly seasoned, juicy, & cooked to perfection. The garlic sauce, fresh ingredients, & generous portions make the experience even better.
You can really tell they care about quality & authenticity. Friendly service, great atmosphere, & consistently delicious food every time. Highly recommended to anyone who loves real shawarma one of the best in Montreal!
We were looking for gluten free options for my celiac buddy, & the person who took our order said they could do the falafel plate, & both mains (chicken & beef) on a plate without the bread or fries (said the fried weren't gf). When our order came there were fries on both plates & the wait staff explained that in fact the fries are gf because there's nothing else cooked in the frier (& no gluten used in the fries). There's definitely a busy kitchen, so definitely a risk of gluten cross contamination, but you can see it all being prepared in front of you. Everything was delicious my celiac bud was very happy!
loveee!! the chicken shawarma is SO good. i normally like beef more but this time the chicken takes it for sure with its toppings/sauce. the fries are super crispy & nice too. very cute spot to grab a quick bite :)
Hands down best in town, no contest. Meat is juicy, falafel amazing, chicken pita they add a French fry or two super delicious. Fries are perfect & portion is generous, can be shared. Get a Zamalek drink to go with it. Even their homemade hummus is amazing, better than average store ones
Went at around 9:15 PM on Friday night. I wanted beef shawarma, but they were all out. I guess this happens; it was getting late. Decided to try chicken & falafel then; was told I would have to wait 20 minutes for chicken. I waited closer to 25-30 minutes. Arrived home, opened the bag: 2 falafels… what a deception. Furthermore, I thought the falafel was mid at best, no texture, no little crunchy, just mushy. Mint sauce & parsley take over & I can't really taste anything else. Huge deception for a place that has such a hype online.
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.

As soon as you walk in you can feel that there's a high level energy. Sophia greeted me with a smile & was very helpful to walk me through the menu. Once you taste the chicken shawarma sandwich you will understand what the hype is all about. I even had their homemade Achta ice cream loaded with pistachio on top & it was absolutely delicious. Thanks to the owner Rami for welcoming me. Definitely recommend!
This restaurant epitomizes the Lebanese experience. I feel at home here. The food is phenomenal (especially the chicken shawerma), the people are amazing & the atmosphere is always so cool. By far the best shawerma restaurant in the city. It's a must visit!
Honestly, great! It definitely tastes the most like the shawarmas in Lebanon among the places in Mtl. For the chicken, it has way too much toum though. I encourage to ask for half the quantity. Great job for the place!

This place is OUT IF THIS WORLD! I had 2 chicken shawarma sandwiches with fatouch salad & the ice cream! Been looking for such a shawarma sandwich for the past 21 years since i left Lebanon.
The garlic sauce…. WOW
Highly recommended
Habibi! Come to Dunya! Forget the boustan & other Shawarma's of Montreal. Dunya is the place. Serving some of the most accurate Shawarmas. Falafel & Flavors of Lebanon, this place stays true to their roots.
Also, can we just point out that the Chicken Shawarma is under 10$!
Best shawarma restaurant in Montreal. Every bite of the chicken shawarma is an explosion of flavor, the staff is very welcoming & professional, & the atmosphere & music are great as well. Must try restaurant in Montreal.
