Review Summary

Dunya is widely celebrated as one of the best and most authentic Lebanese shawarma spots in Montreal, frequently described by visitors as tasting exactly like home. Patrons consistently praise the high quality and freshness of the ingredients, particularly highlighting the juicy chicken, tender beef, crispy fries, and perfectly balanced garlic sauce. The falafels, made fresh to order, are frequently noted as being moist and flavorful, and many reviewers consider the house made ice cream an essential finish to the meal. While the restaurant is often very busy with long lines, the staff is consistently lauded for being professional, warm, and exceptionally friendly, contributing to an inviting and lively atmosphere. Although seating is limited and some guests find the portions small or the music loud, the combination of excellent food, affordable prices, and genuine hospitality makes Dunya a highly recommended destination for anyone seeking an authentic Middle Eastern dining experience.

I'm not really a fan of shawarma but this place changed my mind!!! I had a chicken shawarma which includes garlic sauce, pickles, & fries in the sandwich. It was AMAZING. I also ordered fries & a side of pickled peppers. This is a must if you like shawarma.

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!
