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.

The restaurant is exceptionally organized for how big it is & the amount of customers it serves. I don't know about the beef but I've always had the chicken shawarma & it has a very unique taste you won't find anywhere else in mtl. Restaurant is clean & well managed

I'm from New York. I never knew from last 30'year that Montreal has such a great Arabic food same as from Middle East. I enjoyed the food. It was delicious, huge in quantity, I also bought extra to bring it back in New York & enjoyed throughout the week. I will now go there more often after discovering this great food places in Montreal. They were quick in service & it's more like fast food service style where you take your food from the counter once your ticket number is announced or displayed & go sit in a place to enjoy with your family & friends. Very organized & clean menu place. Thank you I will come again.

I've tried their beef & chicken shawarma (plate & sandwich), mandi beef & fried chicken - Its all been exceptional! The staff & service is amazing, waiting time is reasonable. Only wish they had a bigger restaurant as its always so busy & its tough getting a table. Highly recommend this place!
