Review Summary

Reviewers consistently highlight Original Shawarma for generous portions, especially the mandi and shawarma, strong authentic flavors, and good value for money, with many calling it the best shawarma in Montreal or even Canada. The meat is described as juicy and well seasoned, sauces like garlic sauce are standout, and the rice and sides are noted as solid or excellent; the dine in experience is praised for atmosphere and service in many visits, while others complain about crowded, noisy rooms, long queues, and occasional slow or disorganized service. Some meals arrive cold or overly salty on certain visits, and parking is frequently cited as a challenge. Takeout and family platters are popular and price point is a strong positive, though quality can vary across visits. Overall the sentiment is that Original Shawarma delivers great flavor and generous portions, attracting repeat customers, while peak hours can stress the staff and space.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying the Lamb Mandi, & it was nothing short of spectacular! The lamb was cooked to perfection-so tender that it practically melted in my mouth. The flavors were rich & delightful, making each bite a true culinary treat. If you're looking for a dish that combines comfort & exquisite taste, I highly recommend trying the Mandi here. You won't be disappointed!

Shawarma Original is hands down the best spot for authentic, flavorful shawarma! The meat is always perfectly seasoned, juicy, & tender, & the portion sizes are generous. Their garlic sauce is out of this world, & the pita is always fresh. The service is friendly & fast, even during busy hours. If you're craving top-quality shawarma, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend!"

Décue de la qualité/prix, 10,99 très bonne viande mais un pain pita tenace, ne ressemble pas au photo, petite portion & pas bien grillé. Je n'est manger que du pain & peu de viande. Mais je vous conseille quand même d'essayer j'ai juste manqué de chance.
