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.

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.
Best shawarma restaurant in Montreal. Every bite of the chicken shawarma is an explosion of flavor, the staff is very welcoming & professional, & the atmosphere & music are great as well. Must try restaurant in Montreal.
Recommended by a Lebanese friend, my expectations were high. Not disappointed a bit, the food is great, homemade tea incredible, got some baba ghannouj almost like my home recipie
I never am the type to leave a review, but I felt so compelled to leave one after how much this place shocked me. I'm Lebanese & in Canada I never eat shawarma because it just never tastes the same as back home, it's been so long since I've had a shawarma that tasted like it was from Lebanon. The flavour, the quality of the meat, & the simplicity of Dunya's shawarma is like it's straight from Lebanon. So good!!!
It's a decent place, but every time I order from there there's an item missing. Sometimes sides, sometimes whole wraps! It's extra annoying because uber is never any help, & if I've ordered for a group of people, someone just doesn't get their meal? & then it's awkward. I wish they verified their delivery orders more because it's clearly a systemic problem, & is very frustrating to receive.

I had been curious about this place for a while, & now I completely understand all the great reviews.
We visited with our family & were still able to get seated, which was a nice surprise. It's a small, charming shawarma & falafel spot! simple, authentic, & full of flavor. The food brought back real memories of the original tastes we enjoyed in the Middle East.
You can truly taste the quality of the ingredients. Everything is fresh, generous, & incredibly affordable. Honestly, I can't remember the last time we paid so little for such a satisfying meal for a family of four.
The owner was exceptionally kind, making sure we enjoyed everything & even offering us complimentary ice cream, which was absolutely delicious. Everyone were super friendly too they serve you with a smile.
This place checks all the boxes of what you hope for in a restaurant. It was definitely worth the long drive, & we'll absolutely be coming back & recommending it to everyone.
Pretty good shawarma, but not huge fans of fries in the sandwich. Meat was very good & lots of garlic sauce which is great. Really cute place & atmosphere but not much seating. Iced tea was amazing!!
Great joint to hit the spot when you want fresh & flavourful middle eastern quick food.
Love that their wraps are slightly different from each other, instead of all the wraps being the same except for the protein. Different wraps, good wraps, happy tummy.
Love their fam size make-your-own falafel. My go to. How can you resist fresh made falafel? I mean the giant pan of oil is just staring at you, tempting you with its hot magic. Satisfying hot crispy balls. The power of fried goodness matched with very fresh garnishes to go. Delish!
Another thing this place does well is the few many sauces. All profiles, different tastes & spiceness. Yum yum.
Prices are very competitive. Thanks for keeping it real, Dunya!

It has been a while since I ate a shawarma that was this good. The quality of the ingredients is excellent, the portions & price ratio is actually amazing, i don't review often but I had to drop a 5 stars today.
