About

Original Shawarma specializes in the preparation of authentic Middle Eastern staples centered around vertical rotisserie meats and fresh vegetable accompaniments. Thinly sliced chicken and beef are seasoned with traditional spice blends before being seared to optimal texture. These proteins are served within soft pita bread or alongside fragrant rice platters accompanied by house-made garlic sauce and creamy tahini. The menu features a variety of mezze options including freshly prepared hummus and crispy falafel that highlight classic culinary techniques. Diners select from numerous customizable topping configurations that emphasize the freshness of pickled vegetables and crisp greens. The establishment focuses on efficient food preparation and consistent flavor profiles to provide a straightforward representation of regional staples. Every dish reflects a commitment to traditional flavor palettes through the use of high-quality ingredients and classic preparation methods.

Review Summary

Original Shawarma is widely recognized as a top-tier destination for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine in Montreal, with many diners praising the generous portions, flavorful chicken and lamb shawarma, and the standout Mandi dishes. While the restaurant earns high marks for its fresh, high-quality ingredients and generally professional service, its immense popularity often leads to significant wait times, crowded seating areas, and occasional challenges with order consistency. Despite these busy conditions, the staff is frequently commended for their welcoming and accommodating attitude, making the establishment a highly recommended spot for those seeking satisfying and reliable meals at a great value.

Awesome food. A1 really. Taste amazing. I had written off shawarma since I had an incident at a certain chain store that made me sick for 3 days. Quite literally revived my love for the food.

Price is also amazing for what you get. Honestly, never change & you got a winning business in my opinion.

The ONLY downside is that the above brings a lot of traffic. That being said, a busy restaurant isn't a bad thing. However, the caveat here (& only reason I didn't give 5 star) is that with the amount of foot traffic this place gets, it is super disorganized.

If you decide to go, DO NOT order online if you during peak hours. I had ordered at 4:34 & came at 5:10. Came being told'5 more minutes' while people who had ordered in person after I had arrived we're getting their food. This really bothered me. Although, it never was a problem when I went off peak hours (e,g 10 pm).
