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.

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 was visiting from elsewhere & was recommended this place. The staff here is so friendly! I tried the falafel wrap & their homemade ice cream - both incredibly fresh & delicious. Will definitely be coming back when I visit the city again.

visite effectuée ce midi. Un accueil chaleureux du personnel notamment de la jeune personne de l'accueil très souriante & super sympa ; la shawarma poulet est délicieuse accompagnée de la sauce ranch. Je recommande
Just ate here & had the best service! The food is delicious (the fattoush salad & the ice cream were unreal) & it's a real vibe. Could not recommend enough.
Loooove this place, great authentic Lebanese shawarma. The design, branding & vibe is on point. Finish it off with their homemade ice-cream. Highly recommend!
Dunya is a Middle Eastern restaurant that offers shawarma & falafel on its menu. The staff is welcoming. We ordered a falafel plate & falafel sandwich & we really enjoyed. Absolutely the best falafel in town. Homemade ice cream. The food is very affordable & delicious! Highly recommend.

Hands down the BEST falafel in Montreal! The first bite took me back to my falafel experience in Lebanon. It's simply perfect, the ingredients are all fresh & tasty. I also had the shawarma sandwich as well which was really good but you can get good shawarma in Montreal. However, their falafel is in a league of its own. The fries was also very good. Highly recommended for anyone that wants to have a real falafel sandwich!
We enjoyed the most delicious & authentic falafel sandwich we've experienced outside of Lebanon! The falafel was warm & crunchy, & the many flavors beautifully balanced. Loved the fresh mint & parsley! The owner & employees were very warm & inviting. They shared how they make their falafel & offered my friend ashta, which he'd never tried before. We highly recommend a visit to this shop, & can't wait to visit again in our next trip to Montreal!

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.
The guys at Dunia are doing it right! Their beef shawarma is to die for.. juicy tender, flavorful, & exactly how you expect it; Lebanon's best version of Shawarma. The chicken is excellent also & the felafel is very good but a tiny bit dense. It could use some lightness. It's a very nice lively vibe, & the service is excellent & the value for the food is amazing. I recommend everyone to try this gem of a place.
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!
