Overall, reviews describe Dunya as one of the best shawarma spots in Montreal with authentic Lebanese flavor, a simple but high quality menu, and very reasonable prices. The chicken shawarma is consistently juicy and well seasoned, the beef shawarma earns praise for depth of flavor, and the garlic toum sauce is a standout. The falafel is often called the best in town, and the fattoush and fresh sides are regularly praised. Fries are crispy and the homemade sauces and dips are a highlight, with ice cream and peach iced tea winning fans as well. The atmosphere is cozy and clean, with friendly, attentive staff and a welcoming vibe that makes it feel like home. Some notes mention occasional order mix ups with delivery and limited seating, and a few people found portions lighter or the chicken a touch salty, but the overall experience remains reliable and consistently delicious. Dunya is a go to for takeout or dine in for authentic Lebanese shawarma in Montreal.
Yoooo this place is a 20/10, fair prices, delicious food , I mean amazing food . I took the beef shawarma but it was so good I went ahead & ordered a second one chicken shawarma, it was even more delicious. Everything was fresh & made with love & it is HALAL. Let's give some love to our lebanese brothers , I will surely be back & bring my friends.

Well as a Lebanese who has been away for a while, Dunia is one of the rare spots, if not the only one that truly made me feel like I was back home. From the very first bite of shawarma, a smile lit up my face, like a kid rediscovering happiness, with memories of Lebanon rushing back in every bite. Both the chicken & beef shawarma were perfectly seasoned & authentic, hitting every nostalgic note.
The Ashta ice cream was rich & simple with the delicate flavor of miske, perfectly paired with pistachios. We also tried their homemade peach iced tea, which was refreshing & just sweet enough.
Sometimes, the magic lies in doing things the way they're meant to be, without unnecessary twists or adaptations. I really hope they hold on to their spirit & continue delivering the same level of authenticity & quality!!
I've tried the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, fries, & falafel plate-pretty much everything on the menu-& every item has been delicious! Plus, the prices are very reasonable.

Great experience! Loved the food-I tried the falafel, beef, & chicken shawarma, & the chicken was my favorite. As a Lebanese, I can say the chicken shawarma is a must-try-it tastes just like the ones back home! Plus, the prices are super affordable-you can get a side of fries for just $3 & a Fattoush salad for $4. Definitely worth it!
Old school shawarma, like the one from back home. No unnecessary stuffings like lettuce to make it seem larger than it is. The beef & chicken are tender & grilled to perfection. The garlic sauce tastes like garlic, as it should. Reasonably priced in today's economy.
Finally a real Lebanese shawarma in Montreal…me & my wife tried the meat & the chicken shawarma as well as the falafel , & everything was delicious! I'm so happy!
The best Shawarma I've tried in Canada, made me reminisce home. Tried the beef, chicken & the falafel, all three were phenomenal. The Pistachio ice cream was also really good - I will definitely be recommending this place to anyone that's craving an authentic Lebanese experience. The staff were very friendly as well - thank you Dunya for the experience.
The Beef shawarma & the chicken shawarma were phenomenal. Very tasty. The falafel was ok, tasty but not the best. The fattoush is not fattoush at all: it didn't have the pomegranate molasses which is very essential to the authentic fattoush. Fries & garlic are spot on. The homemade ice tea peach was incredible.
This is truly the best shawarma I've ever had, & trust me I tried a lot. Chicken shawarma with no freaking tomatoes or cucumbers like in other places, everything inside is pickled like it should be. The garlic sauce is to die for, yet you can still kiss your girlfriend afterwards with no weird smells, if you know you know & just 9$ which is a steel in this economy!
Everything was sooo delicious! We had the chicken Shawarma, fattouche salad, fries, ice cream, & the star of the show the Falafel plate (gluten free!). The prices are so affordable & staff are lovely!
I tried falafel, beef, & chicken shawarma sandwiches. My personal favorite is falafel, followed by beef. The chicken is just okay for me because it has a strong garlic sauce, which makes it my least favorite. The usual waiting time for an order is 15-20 minutes. .
