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.

I've been coming to Original Shawarma (Montreal branch) pretty often now, & it's easily become one of my go-to spots in the city.

The chicken shawarma is always on point - juicy, flavorful, & perfectly wrapped every time. But honestly, don't stop there. The roasted chicken is just as impressive, super tender with amazing seasoning, & the mandi is a must-try too - rich, aromatic, & seriously satisfying.

Everything tastes fresh & well-prepared, & the portions are generous. The staff are always friendly & welcoming, even during busy times, which makes the experience even better. The place is clean & has a nice, relaxed vibe.

You can tell they're consistent with their quality, which is why I keep coming back. Highly recommend if you're in Montreal & want something delicious & reliable!

The food is really good & definitely worth trying. The seating area is a bit crowded & tight, & in the summer it can get quite warm, but the food makes it worth it.

Very bad place to eat shawarma especially when I order through Uber I don't understand how it can be given such a high rating because it really doesn't deserve it in terms of taste & high price. When I order from Uber, I receive an order that is completely different from what I ordered, as if it's something left over that they want to get rid of through the order.
I do not recommend it.
