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.

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.
Well as a Lebanese who has been away for a while, Dunia is one of the rare spots, if not the only one that truly made me feel like I was back home. From the very first bite of shawarma, a smile lit up my face, like a kid rediscovering happiness, with memories of Lebanon rushing back in every bite. Both the chicken & beef shawarma were perfectly seasoned & authentic, hitting every nostalgic note.
The Ashta ice cream was rich & simple with the delicate flavor of miske, perfectly paired with pistachios. We also tried their homemade peach iced tea, which was refreshing & just sweet enough.
Sometimes, the magic lies in doing things the way they're meant to be, without unnecessary twists or adaptations. I really hope they hold on to their spirit & continue delivering the same level of authenticity & quality!!
Absolutely delicious! Price is very fair for what you get & how good it is. Their falafels are legit. The shawarmas are also top notch. Fries & ice cream are stand outs as well. Staff are friendly & efficient. Excellent experience!
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.
I don't say this lightly, the best Shawarma I've ever had. The ingredients, the knowledge, the love - it's all there. Michael & the rest of the crew were extremely kind & welcoming. The spicy beef shawarma with fries inside is my favorite. The falafel, homemade sauces, & the fries were all amazing. A lot of love & care in everything. The homemade iced tea is perfect.Coming back whenever I'm in Montreal.
I've tried the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, fries, & falafel plate-pretty much everything on the menu-& every item has been delicious! Plus, the prices are very reasonable.
Great experience! Loved the food-I tried the falafel, beef, & chicken shawarma, & the chicken was my favorite. As a Lebanese, I can say the chicken shawarma is a must-try-it tastes just like the ones back home! Plus, the prices are super affordable-you can get a side of fries for just $3 & a Fattoush salad for $4. Definitely worth it!
