A good place to try halal lamb & chicken mandi! However the place is always crowded & mostly loud. But the quantity & quality of food at a great price makes up for it! Have come back to the place 4 times. Worth it!

It was very good before, but last time the taste was not like shawarma. I think they added some spice that tasted like curry to the chicken shawarma. The special saj which is very thin not as regular saj, which isn't good for the sandwich.

Although the photo wasn't focused on each dish, food was for 8 individuals but can go up to 10 at least. The food was amazing! The rice & whole chicken is a must! The others were Family Mix shawarma & veal. The sauces, pickles & garlic potatoes were excellent! Beef shawarma Sai wraps a bit salty but tasty nonetheless.

If you have other options or restaurants aside from this one, please go for them. Unfortunately, they were the best! However, as usual, like most Middle Eastern restaurants, they are not capable of maintaining the high quality & service.
Message to the management: please don't ask me to send an email. I've spoken with the owner in person twice, & the third time he kept showing a surprised face & denying it. I simply don't want to eat raw chicken anymore.

Some meals don't wait for photos - they attack your hunger first. That's precisely what happened here. We started eating immediately, forgot about the picture, & only remembered when the plates were already halfway gone. Honestly? That's usually the best review a restaurant can get.
🍽? What We Actually Ordered
✔? Chicken Shawarma Plate (fries base) - $12
✔? Jarret d'agneau EXTRA (Lamb Shank) - $25 (comes with 2 lamb shanks, rice, nuts & raisins, mandi sauce)
✔? A small garlic sauce, which the staff gave it for free
✔? mandi sauce & a house mayo & tahini included
Everything else in the photo came with these two dishes.
✨ Experience & Atmosphere
We went on a Sunday night, calm but not empty. & you could tell this wasn't their'real' traffic - the setup, speed, & vibe show they're used to heavy crowds.
Ordering was smooth, the reception was patient & helpful, & the menu is much larger than at a typical'shawarma place.' It feels more like a Middle Eastern canteen with a wide comfort-food lineup.
🔥 Service That Stands Out
The garlic sauce is labelled as $X extra, but when I asked for a small one, the staff said:
'No worries, you can have it.'
Small gestures like this change everything.
& another thing:
Since they don't provide table service & don't ask for tips, it's a place that matches expectations with reality. Respect.
🍗 Taste & Quality
• Lamb shank: shockingly good. Soft, flavorful, no frozen taste, no dryness. I've paid double at other places & had meat that tasted as if it had travelled from Antarctica.
• Rice: warm, colourful, lightly spiced, & the nuts/raisins gave it an authentic eastern mandi taste.
• Chicken shawarma: juicy, well-seasoned, & NOT oily. Fries were fresh.
• Sauces: garlic sauce was excellent, smooth, creamy, not too sharp.
Even half-eaten, the plates still looked good in the photo.
That alone says enough.
💡 Practical Tips
• If you're a lamb lover, take the Jarret d'agneau, great value for two shanks.
• Garlic sauce is a must.
• The menu is larger than expected; check it thoroughly before ordering.
• Good for parties, take-out or quick dine-in. No table service.
Final Verdict:
Original Shawarma surprised me, real flavour, generous portions, no attitude, & no sneaky tipping screens. The kind of place that focuses on food, not theatrics. Given what you pay, it's really worth it.
⭐ 4.8/5 - Amazing lamb, great shawarma, honest service

the place is the best in town if you're looking for delicious shawarma.
My favorite is their saj chicken shawrma.
It can get crammed with customers inside, so there isn't that many tables to dine in.
Parking spots are limited.

Massive, & I mean Massive platters. The pricepoint can't be beat. Great flavours. You can feed a family of 6 with the platter easily.
The chicken shawarma though had tons of sauce in it, which is extra creamy & garlicky. I'd definitely get less of it.
At this price though, you can't go wrong. Worth the drive.

Very good food. Their chicken shawarma is the best shawarma I've ever had! & the fries crazy good!!
Abdulfattah
'Original Shawarma' is a must-visit for shawarma lovers! Their meat & chicken shawarma are a flavor explosion. The portions are generous, & the quality shines through in every bite. Local ingredients make a difference! My only issue is that Doordash no longer delivers. Highly recommended for a satisfying shawarma sandwich fix!

Mohammad
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.

Best shawarma I've had. The chicken was super tender & flavourful & perfectly spicy. The potatoes were well seasoned & the garlic sauce was delicious. Opens at 12 on the dot, so if you're hoping get lunch, give yourself some time or order in advance for pickup.

It's ok. I wouldn't drive out of the way to go here. I had the original sandwich since the one I wanted was not available. The meat is lacking in flavor. I find them generous with the amount of lamb & veal they put in but it could also seem like too much. I'd prefer a more balanced sandwich with less meat & more of the other stuffings they put in. I also ordered the crispy chicken & it was ok. A little oilier than I like. Parking here is a mess. I'd recommend parking a short walk away. I also found that it's chaotic once you pay & wait for your number to be called. Everyone that comes in for an Uber order floods the cash area & it's very annoying. It's seems nobody can stand aside & actually wait for a number to be called.

Busy place for lunch. I ordered for takeout. I got mostly rice. No veggies like in the pictures. The chicken was quite good. The house sauce is delicious. Friendly lady at the counter. I was disappointed because it was dry with only rice & chicken. I will return & give them another try. I will try the lamb next time.

I always get the chicken on rice plate from here. Delicious & filling!!!!!!!!!
Ashley
We are in Montreal from Alberta & heard this is THE place for shawarma. Garlic sauce for the chicken shawarma was delicious. Meat shawarma was juicy. Woman at the friend was so sweet & friendly. Definitely worth checking out!
C
Very delicious food & well priced for taste & quantity. Only problem is they often get your order wrong or miss something. & sometimes hit or miss with the tenderness of the chicken shawarma. But overall great place to eat.

This place is one of the best Shawarma you can have. I first tried this place at work, we ordered a take out for lunch, the food was amazing. Their rice & chicken is really on point. The shawarma sandwich with fries is delicious as well, crispy fries with a seasoning on the top, also the pita is made differently but it's tasty. I came back with my wife the next week & she loved it. The portions are very generous, I totally recommand.

Hands down the best chicken shawarma sandwiches I've had in Montreal.
