Diners frequently highlight the generous portion sizes, fair pricing, and consistent food quality as key reasons for their return visits.

Original shawarma is my go to spot because it never disappoint & always delivers. The prices & portions are very fair & everything in the menu is delicious. They also provide free sauces if you ask them which is very generous considering it is so good.

Easily the best shawarma I've tried in my life, & thats me comparing it to my home country which tells you a lot, liked mandi with lamb better than chicken, but both still really good, their garlic sauce is to die for & their prices are just insane in comparison with the amount of food you get, will be back a 100%

Very bad place to eat shawarma especially when I order through Uber I don't understand how it can be given such a high rating because it really doesn't deserve it in terms of taste & high price. When I order from Uber, I receive an order that is completely different from what I ordered, as if it's something left over that they want to get rid of through the order.
I do not recommend it.

Yesterday, February 24th, I ordered the family-sized lamb mandi, & it was one of the worst experiences I've had. The rice wasn't the same as before in terms of taste for me & my family; it was bad. In addition, the amount of meat was not commensurate with the price. Although I asked which type of rice was better when placing the order, & the employee explained that there were two types, I was surprised to find that there was only one type when I got home.my order number was 37 at 5pm & total 106$

A good place to try halal lamb & chicken mandi! However the place is always crowded & mostly loud. But the quantity & quality of food at a great price makes up for it! Have come back to the place 4 times. Worth it!

The price, the taste, & the atmosphere were all incredible. I've never had a lamb shank this delicious & definitely not at this price anywhere else. Honestly, I even forgot to take a picture because it was that good & I was too busy enjoying the food.
A thousand percent recommended!

Massive, & I mean Massive platters. The pricepoint can't be beat. Great flavours. You can feed a family of 6 with the platter easily.

The chicken shawarma though had tons of sauce in it, which is extra creamy & garlicky. I'd definitely get less of it.

At this price though, you can't go wrong. Worth the drive.
