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.
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!
Wow, what a great discovery, Dunya really impressed me. The place was packed, but everything ran smoothly & the service was great. I had the shawarma & it was super filling, packed with flavor, & honestly just really satisfying. The sauces were a standout too, sooooooo good. Definitely a spot I'd recommend & will be going back to.
As soon as you walk in you can feel that there's a high level energy. Sophia greeted me with a smile & was very helpful to walk me through the menu. Once you taste the chicken shawarma sandwich you will understand what the hype is all about. I even had their homemade Achta ice cream loaded with pistachio on top & it was absolutely delicious. Thanks to the owner Rami for welcoming me. Definitely recommend!
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.
This place is OUT IF THIS WORLD! I had 2 chicken shawarma sandwiches with fatouch salad & the ice cream! Been looking for such a shawarma sandwich for the past 21 years since i left Lebanon.
The garlic sauce…. WOW

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!
My boyfriend & I left completely satisfied! We tried both the shawarma & the falafel, & they were absolutely delicious - amazing flavor, super fresh, & very well prepared.
The service was impeccable; everyone was extremely polite & attentive. The place is very clean & organized, & you can really see how harmoniously the staff works together.

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!
Absolutely love it! Unarguably the most authentic shawarma in Montréal, & it's also really affordable. Both their beef & chicken shawarma taste exactly like Lebanon's.
