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.
Absolutely fantastic experience at this restaurant! Hands down the best in the area. The staff is incredibly friendly & welcoming. They went above & beyond to make me feel comfortable, even offering me a delicious soup while I waited for my meal. Highly recommend dining here for top-notch service & mouthwatering dishes. Definitely deserving of 5 stars!"
Best shawarma in town, their service is top notch & the staff is extremely friendly! 🤍The food is delicious, their lentils soup is my favorite. You absolutely have to try their mendi! Washrooms are clean & restocked & the restaurant is also clean & well taken care of!

Beau petit endroit qui offre de super bon shawarma, des plats familiales ou encore du Mandi. Le service fut simple & rapide. Salah-Eddine, une personne super sympathique s'est chargé de finaliser notre commande, il avait fait notre journée littéralement.
5 for their amazing tasty food 1 for their horrible service & disrespectful bahavior at the cashier 10 minutes waiting for the cashier guy to order, he's talking on his mobile then he finished the call to talk on another mobile, the restaurant was NOT busy & kiosks were offline I had to leave & eat in another restaurant
Very disappointing. I was expecting to eat the best Mandi & best shawarma ( from the really high reviews) . Mandi is not actually Mandi specially the chicken was dry & not good , please visit MONASABA in mississauga to see what is Mandi . Tried the beef shawarma it was not bad but nothing special at all . At the end of the day that's my opinion .
