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.

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.
Très bon goût, j'ai aimé que le menu soit simple qu'il n'y ait pas trop de choix juste poulet ou boeuf , seul point négatif que je metterai en avant c'est que le sandwich est très léger pas de quoi vous rassasier, donc ça serait apprécié d'augmenter un peu les quantités.

Had the chicken shawarma. The best most authentic Lebanese style shawarma sandwich. Best ever in Canada, no question about it. Will come back again & again!!!!
I ordered 10 sandwiches - the beef & falafel were quite good, but the chicken was too greasy & didn't taste as fresh as I had hoped. Overall, the quality was mixed.
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.
Absolutely the best place for chicken & beef shawarma, falafel, fattoush, sauces & drinks.
A small menu that they have mastered to perfection.
Rami,Imad,Megan & Michael are nothing but welcoming & nice to all customers who walk in.
If you want to taste what authentic sandwiches in Lebanon taste like, save yourself the ticket & go visit Dunya

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. .
