Review Summary

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.

Came in just for drinks because we were dying of thirst… ended up discovering their homemade peach iced tea & WOW, exactly what we needed 😋 So refreshing. Then somehow that turned into trying their ice cream (because obviously), & it was actually sooo good! Didn't even plan to eat here but 10/10 accidental stop 😂 Will definitely go back to try their Shawarma. The staff were really friendly, too.

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.

Great spot for shawarma & tasty boza (ice cream). The atmosphere & workers are very welcoming & generous. Chicken shawarma is much better than beef but both are great price & quality. The falafel are filling & made authentically.

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!

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.

Honestly, great! It definitely tastes the most like the shawarmas in Lebanon among the places in Mtl. For the chicken, it has way too much toum though. I encourage to ask for half the quantity. Great job for the place!

great quick place to stop by for affordable shawarmas. the food is made very quickly as there are a lot of staff, & the quality of the food you get for such a low price is amazing.

it can be crowded sometimes & there aren't that many seats, take out is best.

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

Habibi! Come to Dunya! Forget the boustan & other Shawarma's of Montreal. Dunya is the place. Serving some of the most accurate Shawarmas. Falafel & Flavors of Lebanon, this place stays true to their roots.

Also, can we just point out that the Chicken Shawarma is under 10$!

Absolutely delishhhhh! Shawarma poulet was juicy, filling & perfect 🤯 it took maybe 10min to get our order. We noticed it's cheaper to order to eat out instead of having it there, like $3 difference. Anyway, you must try this place 💗💗💗
