Reviewers consistently highlight Original Shawarma for generous portions, especially the mandi and shawarma, strong authentic flavors, and good value for money, with many calling it the best shawarma in Montreal or even Canada. The meat is described as juicy and well seasoned, sauces like garlic sauce are standout, and the rice and sides are noted as solid or excellent; the dine in experience is praised for atmosphere and service in many visits, while others complain about crowded, noisy rooms, long queues, and occasional slow or disorganized service. Some meals arrive cold or overly salty on certain visits, and parking is frequently cited as a challenge. Takeout and family platters are popular and price point is a strong positive, though quality can vary across visits. Overall the sentiment is that Original Shawarma delivers great flavor and generous portions, attracting repeat customers, while peak hours can stress the staff and space.
Very good restaurant... If you're looking for authentic, high-quality shawarma, this place is a must-visit. I will definitely be coming back & highly recommend it to anyone who loves Middle Eastern cuisine.
Excellent restaurant du coin que j'ai jamais trouvé meilleur que lui dans tout Montréal . Très bonne qualité du service, magnifique endroit, excellent personnel ( Très accueillant). Diverses qualités de nourriture que je trouve superbe l'une après l'autre. Si j'attribue une note sur 10 sa serait 10/10. Merci les soeurs Rookie, Sara & Adam braaaaaaavo
If your a big fan of shawarma, you should definitely check this place out. Its absolutely perfect & the customer service is excellent. It reminded me of my favourite shawarma shop back in Syria.
Everything was really good, cooked perfectly & everything was good. I'm not a fan of spice & they put the perfect combination of those. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area.
