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.

Occasional notes include delivery mixups or small wraps, but these are outweighed by praise for quality, authenticity, and the overall experience.
Really good chicken shawarma honestly!! The garlic sauce is also bomb. However, there's been times Ive visited in the afternoon & they have ran out of chicken. Also, not really a friendly place to dine in, better to take out, as it's always really busy & there aren't enough tables.
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!

loveee!! the chicken shawarma is SO good. i normally like beef more but this time the chicken takes it for sure with its toppings/sauce. the fries are super crispy & nice too. very cute spot to grab a quick bite :)
A must eat in Montreal! It is hands down the most authentic & delicious shawarma, you'll ever have there. Inexpensive but high quality ingredients, the garlic sauce so fragrant, the sandwich served to you perfectly hot! Their iced teas are made in house & are just perfect to quench your thirst! The fries perfectly thin & crispy & the falafels are even a hit! Do not walk out of there without the soft serve.
Personally even the ambiance is a 10. Do not skip this stop if 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.
Went at around 9:15 PM on Friday night. I wanted beef shawarma, but they were all out. I guess this happens; it was getting late. Decided to try chicken & falafel then; was told I would have to wait 20 minutes for chicken. I waited closer to 25-30 minutes. Arrived home, opened the bag: 2 falafels… what a deception. Furthermore, I thought the falafel was mid at best, no texture, no little crunchy, just mushy. Mint sauce & parsley take over & I can't really taste anything else. Huge deception for a place that has such a hype online.
Le shawarma au poulet est absolument exquis! Beaucoup de sauce, la fraîcheur des ingrédients se devine dès la première bouchée, super savoureux. J'aime l'idée d'avoir ajouté quelques frites dans le sandwich, ce qui le rend encore plus gourmand & ajoute une belle texture. Service des plus chaleureux. Ambiance agréable, même la musique est bonne! Que du positif.
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
Highly recommended
Pretty good shawarma, but not huge fans of fries in the sandwich. Meat was very good & lots of garlic sauce which is great. Really cute place & atmosphere but not much seating. Iced tea was amazing!!
Great joint to hit the spot when you want fresh & flavourful middle eastern quick food.
Love that their wraps are slightly different from each other, instead of all the wraps being the same except for the protein. Different wraps, good wraps, happy tummy.
Love their fam size make-your-own falafel. My go to. How can you resist fresh made falafel? I mean the giant pan of oil is just staring at you, tempting you with its hot magic. Satisfying hot crispy balls. The power of fried goodness matched with very fresh garnishes to go. Delish!
Another thing this place does well is the few many sauces. All profiles, different tastes & spiceness. Yum yum.
Prices are very competitive. Thanks for keeping it real, Dunya!
Unfortunately, my sandwich was incredibly disappointing. It was so small with very little Chicken, few fries & I took 4 bites before finding a pickle. I looked at other pictures of the chicken sandwich, full. That's not what I got. The toum sauce was delicious

Authentic & delicious falafel!
The taste is truly amazing - crispy on the outside, fresh & flavorful on the inside. You can really tell the difference with the parsley & mint; it adds a bright, authentic touch. The portions are generous, & the tarator sauce is so good, it takes everything to another level.
Yes, $9 feels a bit expensive, but considering the quality & the location, it's understandable. Overall, very satisfying & worth trying if you love real, well-made falafel.
Tried the chicken shawarma pita at & it was excellent. You know it's going to be great when the first bite has French fries right inside the pita. The sauce, chicken, & fresh ingredients are perfectly balanced.
The place is small, so it's best for takeout or a quick stop with a small group. Definitely a solid spot for a delicious shawarma pita!
