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.

We are in Montreal from Alberta & heard this is THE place for shawarma. Garlic sauce for the chicken shawarma was delicious. Meat shawarma was juicy. Woman at the friend was so sweet & friendly. Definitely worth checking out!

It's my fav place when it comes to shawarma, very delicious, flavourful, generous portions. But I have one thing that bothers me every time I visit.. the women on cash is literally not friendly at all, she doesn't seem to be welcoming any customer, she looks serious most of the time & doesn't wanna work. I wish they'd do something..

Very delicious food & well priced for taste & quantity. Only problem is they often get your order wrong or miss something. & sometimes hit or miss with the tenderness of the chicken shawarma. But overall great place to eat.
