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.

I placed a large order before the restaurant even opened at 11:00 AM, & they handled it perfectly. The food was excellent, & everyone was more than satisfied. I ordered two Mandi meals, two chicken over rice dishes, & a family-sized chicken shawarma. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take a photo-the smell was just too tempting, & we had to dig in right away!

A big thank you to Abu Farouq & the entire team for your great work. You truly made our day!

Had to update this review as I went so many times after the first & they were all good but today I picked up my food $50 worth & it was all too salty & we could barely eat half of it before feeling like our blood pressure would become so high. It was too salty to a level that's inedible, like everything was full of salt, the poutine, the chicken shawarma, the meat shawarma. I feel bad about wasting the food & the money & that the quality is lower now. & sadly I think this will be my last time eating there.

This spot suffers from its own popularity. Went on a Sunday evening, the place was jam-packed with a long queue inside. We ordered takeout, not being too familiar with their online menu & no descriptions what so ever, we took a guess to order a mixed platter. By the time we got home, all had become mushy & soggy. The fries buried underneath the meat were soft & greasy. The falafels had turned cold & tough.
