Hands down the best & most authentic Lebanese shawarma in Montreal. Both the beef & the chicken meat are very well seasoned & very juicy & tender, & they really nailed the fixings inside both sandwiches.

such a great spot! i love their beef shawarma & pistachio ice cream. cute atmosphere, it gets busy though so expect a little wait
Nassib
This is what a shawarma should taste like like!!! Loved the atmosphere & great service.
Laith
Awesome restaurant, super clean presentation & food is top-notch. Staff are very friendly too. Some of the best fattouche I've ever had with extremely crispy fried pita bread chips
Josh
Hit up this spot on a recent food tour, & about half of the group said this was their favourite spot.
The beef shawarma hit different than most others I've tried - maybe it's the seasoning, maybe the sauce? Whatever it is, it's delicious.
Falafel is cheap, several commented on how tasty it was.
Food: 9/10, will be back

I'm so happy that we decided to finally stop by! We ordered the chicken shawarma (originally my husband ordered the beef but as they had ran out, they nicely offered a refund of the difference between the two items, or a drink/ice cream/sauces) & while the content of the wrap is simple, the flavors blend so well. I was especially impressed with the pickles & the toum. The falafel is also crunchy on the outside, but so soft & flavorful on the inside. & less than $9 for a wrap, considering what's in it, is not a bad deal at all. Nice people, well run, good ingredients, & simple but absolutely delicious. We'll for sure be back!

The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. With every bite of their sandwiches, you feel transported with flavours & spices!! The atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the staff were super friendly & attentive. Definetly one of Montreal's hidden gems - can't wait to go back, it is my comfort food 😀

I've heard a lot of good things about Dunya & I always see it on tiktok. I finally tried it & it was delicious! I had the chicken shawarma. They put a lot of garlic sauce. I definitely want to try the beef shawarma next! Great location as well!

Heard many people speak very highly of this place & I was not disappointed. It's a small but very cozy & clean joint. Service was prompt & friendly. The menu is a bit limited compared to other shawarma/lebanese fast-food restaurants, but the quality is much higher than most places. They do not have any sides other than fries, fattoush & various dipping sauces (not baba ghanoush or hummus or muhammara or tabouleh)
They do not have the usual herbed garlic potatoes, however the fries are some of the best fries to be had in Montreal. Freshly made, unlike every other cheap lebanese/greek/south asian fastfood places that use frozen, but at the same time not dark brown greasy like in most French Canadian joints. Seemed to be about 1/4 inch thick, perfectly golden & crispy. I much rather have those fries than garlic potatoes that have been sitting on the tray for way too long, which a lot of joints don't even bother reheating when you order & when they do, they use the microwave.
I had the chicken shawarma sandwich & it was pretty good. I don't particularly care for putting fries in sandwiches/wraps but it wasn't bad either. The wraps do not contain any lettuce or tomatoes unlike every other shawarma place in Montreal, which is a good thing, it doesn't end up being a soggy wet sour mess that overpowers the meat. This place only puts chicken, pickles & toum in their chicken shawarma. You have to like garlic though, because the toum does take over quite a lot. One of the drawbacks maybe is that it seems like the chicken does not have as much seasoning from baharat, or maybe I can't taste it because the toum in the sandwich just overpowers it completely. Also they do not offer platters for their chicken & beef shawarma, only for the falafel option. It's not like most Montreal shawarma/shishtaouk places taste much of cinnamon/allspice/cloves (especially the old school joints), but here it's definitely not a highlight.
I saw a deep purple squirt bottle in the prep area, looked like it might have been pomegranate molasses, but my chicken shawarma didn't really taste like it had any in it.
They offer self serve ice cold water, free of charge.
The prices & portions are on par with other shawarma restaurants in Montreal. The pitas are not huge, or stuffed with a lot of meat, but is okay sized. The fries portion is good. Paid $14.72 tax in. Pretty comparable to a lot of places out there & somewhat proportionate to the increase in minimum wage, but yes in the grand scheme of things it is a bit expensive, but it's the same everywhere.

Really great place to go with friends or Solo. I had falafel & i can say my fav falafel in Mtl. They're soft & crunchy with their own tahini sauce 🥙

Tessia
Dunya has to be the best food ever in my opinion.Its so delicious. My go-to order is beef shawarma with extra turnips & pickles, with fries & the homemade ranch & mustard sauce on the side, & a peach ice tea. Its actually the best theres no words to describe how good it is. They also give out a loyalty card which allows you to get a free shawarma after multiple visits which is awesome.

Great shawarmas (especially the beef) & love the fattoush & fries. Reasonable prices!
