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.

45 minutes d'attente pour avoir un plat familial plus un crispy, enfin de compte très déçu de mon expérience. Recevoir un plat froid alors que j'avais des invités à table était vraiment gênant. De plus le crispy arrivé 8 minutes plus tard 😞. Je m'attendais à un minimum de qualité & d'attention. Malheureusement, cela a complètement gâché le repas & laissé une mauvaise impression à tout le monde.
