Welcome to Dunya, a cozy spot at the corner of Sherbrooke and Saint Laurent in Montreal. 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!
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.
Came in just for drinks because we were dying of thirst… ended up discovering their homemade peach iced tea & WOW, exactly what we needed 😋 So refreshing. Then somehow that turned into trying their ice cream (because obviously), & it was actually sooo good! Didn't even plan to eat here but 10/10 accidental stop 😂 Will definitely go back to try their Shawarma. The staff were really friendly, too.
Exceptional shawarma, fries are loaded to the roof, absolutely recommend, staff is so nice they even gifted me an ice cream cuz somehow their machine'didnt work' trust me given the ice cream it did lol. Amazing place, best shawarma I've ever had.
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!
Recommended by a Lebanese friend, my expectations were high. Not disappointed a bit, the food is great, homemade tea incredible, got some baba ghannouj almost like my home recipie

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.
Pretty good shawarma, but not huge fans of fries in the sandwich. Meat was very good & lots of garlic sauce which is great. Really cute place & atmosphere but not much seating. Iced tea was amazing!!
Great joint to hit the spot when you want fresh & flavourful middle eastern quick food.
Love that their wraps are slightly different from each other, instead of all the wraps being the same except for the protein. Different wraps, good wraps, happy tummy.
Love their fam size make-your-own falafel. My go to. How can you resist fresh made falafel? I mean the giant pan of oil is just staring at you, tempting you with its hot magic. Satisfying hot crispy balls. The power of fried goodness matched with very fresh garnishes to go. Delish!
Another thing this place does well is the few many sauces. All profiles, different tastes & spiceness. Yum yum.
Prices are very competitive. Thanks for keeping it real, Dunya!

One of the best shawarmas I've ever eaten in Montreal. Their peach lemonade is excellent, & the fries are super crunchy!!! New favorite place for Lebanese shawarma. The staff is very nice & welcoming!! 10/10
Unfortunately, my sandwich was incredibly disappointing. It was so small with very little Chicken, few fries & I took 4 bites before finding a pickle. I looked at other pictures of the chicken sandwich, full. That's not what I got. The toum sauce was delicious
I am from the Middle East & this is the best shawerma in town. Their side dips are very good & the staff are so friendly & helpful. Strongly recommend it!
Amazing shawarma, came here twice during my stay. It's simple & flavourful. We also tried their falafel & it was delicious. Can get really busy but staff are really friendly!

I went to Dunya in Montreal & tried the beef shawarma & the falafel sandwich - both were amazing. The customer service was just as great, super friendly & welcoming. Honestly, if I lived in Montreal I'd eat here every day. Highly recommend!
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.
Tried the chicken shawarma pita at & it was excellent. You know it's going to be great when the first bite has French fries right inside the pita. The sauce, chicken, & fresh ingredients are perfectly balanced.
The place is small, so it's best for takeout or a quick stop with a small group. Definitely a solid spot for a delicious shawarma pita!
