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!
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!

Being an avid fan of Ukie food this was a very disappointing dinner today. Cabbage rolls seemed to be made with watered down tomatoe soup, perogies tasteless, had the cottage cheese crepe another disappointment. Meal mediocre at the best, served Luke warm not hot, the server was a very pleasant young lady. Small portions, I asked for a glass of water, got a paper cup with warm water. Bare Basic Menu with little variety. Prices average to high
Walk in the front door of entry & the Bathroom door wide open as you walk in, beside the food Cooler.
Very Disappointed, will definitely NOT return.
Exceptional shawarma, fries are loaded to the roof, absolutely recommend, staff is so nice they even gifted me an ice cream cuz somehow their machine'didnt work' trust me given the ice cream it did lol. Amazing place, best shawarma I've ever had.
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 is one of my favorite restaurants where I eat frequently, but today I saw a man & a dog come in, & the girls sitting at the table got up & started petting the dog. I think this is unacceptable in the food & beverage industry & not befitting a Middle Eastern restaurant.
This restaurant epitomizes the Lebanese experience. I feel at home here. The food is phenomenal (especially the chicken shawerma), the people are amazing & the atmosphere is always so cool. By far the best shawerma restaurant in the city. It's a must visit!
