Review Summary

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.

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!!

Absolutely delicious! Price is very fair for what you get & how good it is. Their falafels are legit. The shawarmas are also top notch. Fries & ice cream are stand outs as well. Staff are friendly & efficient. Excellent experience!

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.

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!

FINALLY some authentic, relatively affordable Lebanese street food in Montreal. This is the only actual shawarma & falafel restaurant in town. They are suuuper kind & welcoming, they gave us all (4 people) free amazing ashta ice cream because they were sold out of shawarma. Absolutely coming back!!

I popped in on my bike ride home from work, & was disappointed to see they had sold out. Rather than be turned away, I was offered the last ball of falafel, on the house. It was DELICIOUS! I then learned that nearly everything served is made in-house, including the ice cream, which I was also offered a sampling of. I can't even describe how good it was. Not your typical ice cream, & obviously made with quality ingredients. My only disappointment with the place was that I couldn't enjoy more. Next time! This place will become a staple one for me.

This must be the best shawarma, falafel, home-made iced tea, & ashta ice cream that I ever had in Canada! It's fresh & flavorful. Above all, the service & staff are welcoming & kind. I loved the experience & I would love to be a regular customer of this place. Very highly recommended!
