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.
You put way too much salt on your chicken, i think we are getting a dessent size now, but its too salty. You are adding french fries that have salt inside the sandwich that is already super salted... My recommendation is that you lower the salt on the chicken.

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.
Amateurs de cuisine libanaise, j'ai mangé le pire sandwich shawarma dans ce restaurant :(
La viande trop cuite, sec, difficile à mâcher. Pas de pickles dans le sandwich, que des tomates. La salade fattouche trop vinaigrée.
Bref ce qui a été sensé être un moment de plaisir s'est transformé en cauchemar
Les 2* pour le service.
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!
As a frequent customer of Dunya, I've always enjoyed their delicious, authentic shawarma. However, my recent experience was disappointing. When I tried to order 10 sandwiches to pick up, I was told it was considered catering & couldn't be fulfilled on the spot. They also refused to accept an order of 4+ sandwiches in-store. If they can't handle such requests, they should reconsider their operations.

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 !
I tried falafel, beef, & chicken shawarma sandwiches. My personal favorite is falafel, followed by beef. The chicken is just okay for me because it has a strong garlic sauce, which makes it my least favorite. The usual waiting time for an order is 15-20 minutes. .
