Dunya est largement reconnu comme l'un des meilleurs restaurants de shawarma libanais authentique à Montréal, souvent décrit par les clients comme un véritable goût du pays. Les visiteurs soulignent systématiquement la grande qualité et la fraîcheur des ingrédients, en mettant particulièrement en avant le poulet juteux, le bœuf tendre, les frites croustillantes et une sauce à l'ail parfaitement équilibrée. Les falafels, préparés à la demande, sont souvent qualifiés de moelleux et savoureux, et la crème glacée maison est considérée par beaucoup comme une conclusion incontournable du repas. Bien que l'endroit soit souvent très fréquenté avec de longues files d'attente, le personnel est constamment félicité pour son professionnalisme, sa chaleur et son amabilité exceptionnelle, ce qui contribue à une atmosphère accueillante et dynamique. Malgré un espace limité et des portions parfois jugées petites par certains, la combinaison d'une cuisine excellente, de prix abordables et d'une hospitalité sincère fait de Dunya une destination hautement recommandée pour tous ceux qui recherchent une expérience culinaire libanaise authentique.
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!
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.

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.
Absolutely love it! Unarguably the most authentic shawarma in Montréal, & it's also really affordable. Both their beef & chicken shawarma taste exactly like Lebanon's.
Am writing this in faire professional way considering myself a foodie & a shawerma eater.
About the resto, when I decided to go I had to run to catch it before they close at 10:00 pm which I find a bit odd specially on the weekend. very good location in downtown & a bit tricky to park if you're driving, but still worth it for me. Very cozy nice warm contemporary little place. The guy taking the orders seems new in training & not familiar with the Middle Eastern cuisine the restaurant is offering which I find it's very important specially when the clients of such place could be demanding. That being said The manager/owner was simply giving him a hand & she took care of the confusions & language barrier leaving me in a positive experience.
A first time visitor ordered 1 chicken & 1 beef shawarma. Size & value is good enough for average person.
The ingredients of both sandwiches are very well prepared & cooked. The sauces (tahini & garlic) are super tasty & dominates the Lebanese taste of the sandwich. I personally think that a little more meat in both sandwiches will bring it to perfection & make it more rich & better value. Good luck to the owner this could be my favorite shawerma place for now
Suggestions :
-add more meat in the sandwich
-more familiar person with the cuisine at the cashier
Hands down the best & most authentic Lebanese beef & chicken shawarma in Montreal. If you're looking for an authentic taste with no extra frills, this is the place to try.
I went randomly there as it was close to where i stayed. I was impressed by the quality of the shawarmas. Tried both beef & chicken, great authentic taste! Falafel has a homemade feeling to it, still very good.
