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 celebrated by customers as one of the best spots in Montreal for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly for its highly flavorful shawarma and impressive mandi dishes. Diners frequently highlight the generous portion sizes, fair pricing, and consistent food quality as key reasons for their return visits. While the atmosphere is often described as warm and welcoming, the restaurant is consistently busy, which can lead to long wait times and a crowded seating area. Although the majority of feedback regarding service is positive, citing the staff as friendly, professional, and accommodating, some visitors have noted occasional inconsistencies with order accuracy or temperature. Despite minor challenges regarding space and parking, the overall consensus remains strongly positive, with many customers considering it a go-to destination for high-quality, reliable, and delicious meals.

The value here is absolutely insane & the food is better than your typical Amir/Boustan. They give you SO MUCH food for the price, wow. Shawarma with rice was great & the fried chicken tenders were very big, fresh & crispy. I will have to go back & try other items which they unfortunately did not have when I went at 8pm on a Monday night (lamb shawarma & lamb mandi). Edit: I have since tried both of the above (lamb mandi & shawarma)...both incredible! Same goes for the chicken mandi, it's so aromatic & tender & has a very appetizing appearance! The lamb shawarma is by far the closest thing I've had in Montreal to shawarma in the middle East. Strongly recommend!!

I've been here many times. Lamb & chicken Mandi are delicious, But the chicken shawarma is normal. I didn't try meet shawarma yet. One more thing really important for the owner, this is my second time i came here & the cashier says you have to wait 40 minutes cuz some order are not available for the time being or some orders are not available at all the whole day . I know that's a good sign. But it gets me & everyone mad when you drive 40 minutes then you can't eat. Last thing : They should open in Downtown Montreal.

I came from Ottawa to try this shawarma restaurant because I heard great reviews about this specific shawarma restaurant. The service was very excellent & Roua Kayal was very friendly & welcoming. The food I ordered was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.
