Welcome to Dunya, a cozy spot at the corner of Sherbrooke and Saint Laurent in Montreal. 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. Come by and say hello!
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.
This is truly the best shawarma I've ever had, & trust me I tried a lot. Chicken shawarma with no freaking tomatoes or cucumbers like in other places, everything inside is pickled like it should be. The garlic sauce is to die for, yet you can still kiss your girlfriend afterwards with no weird smells, if you know you know & just 9$ which is a steel in this economy!
Everything was sooo delicious! We had the chicken Shawarma, fattouche salad, fries, ice cream, & the star of the show the Falafel plate (gluten free!). The prices are so affordable & staff are lovely!

My new favourite spot! The falafel & beef shawarma remind me of food back in Lebanon/ Dubai. I'm craving them while typing this review 15/10 would come again
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.
Got the beef shawarma, fattoush salad & a falafel! Everything was super fresh! Meat was tender, the salad was bright & the falafel was crispy on the outside & tender on the inside!
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. .
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 is the most authentic shawarma, the taste will take you back to lebanon. Easy, simple & straight to the point menu ! By far, the best shawarma in Montreal
The most authentic shawarma i have tasted in Montreal YUMMY❤️ Juicy chicken with garlic . Savoury beef with fresh vegies. Fries are succulant . The falafel took me back to my childhood. As for the creme glacée delicious: ashta pistachio is a must . Friendly staff too 😍❤️😍BRAVO .

One of the best shawarma in montreal. As close as you can get to the ones you would eat in Lebanon. I tried the beef & the chicken shawarmas both are super tasty. You can taste the meat is fresh. Flavours are just right. Their homemade iced tea is also really good! I crave it all the time now!
FINALLY some authentic, relatively affordable Lebanese street food in Montreal. This is the only actual shawarma & falafel restaurant in town. They are suuuper kind & welcoming, they gave us all (4 people) free amazing ashta ice cream because they were sold out of shawarma. Absolutely coming back!!
