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.
I visited from Toronto & I can tell you hands down, this is the best Lebanese shawarma place I have tried between Toronto & Montreal. As a Lebanese, I won't go anywhere else!
Loooove this place, great authentic Lebanese shawarma. The design, branding & vibe is on point. Finish it off with their homemade ice-cream. Highly recommend!
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!!
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!
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.

A true restaurant oasis in terms of quality, taste, value, friendliness & vibe. Our quick Lebanese lunch of fallafal & fries wound up being the highlite of our trip to Montreal, we are still talking about how I felt actual tingles up & down my spine biting into a perfect fallafal with distinct crunch, juicy tomatoes, marinated turnip & fresh mint leaves. Cannot recommend anything more highly.
Went to try Dunya during the weekend & it was a blast. Their shawarma is the best in montreal. They serve it the authentic way. The fries were super crunchy. Everything was super fresh & the staff were very welcoming & accommodating. We were two people & we order 2 shawarmas each. & 1 was more than enough for a person. Generous portions. & the garlic sauce to sandwich ratio was perfect. Props to the team for not re-inventing the wheel & keeping the authentic Lebanese shawarma scene in montreal alive !
Outstanding & authentic lebanese food. Extra points for them accomodating my celiac by replacing pita with fries in my chicken plate. Great ownership & customer service.
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!!
Phenomenal Experience. Tried all shawarma amd falafel restaurant, Dunya restaurant stands by itself when it comes to authenticity & epic services. My favorite place now for lebanese authenticity Shawarma & falafel. Chapeaux bas
