Review Summary

Shawarmaz earns broad praise for its flavorful shawarma, generous portions and reasonable prices, with many noting flaky saj bread, crispy potatoes and bowls packed with tender meat and fresh ingredients. The service is frequently described as friendly and efficient, with a welcoming atmosphere, though a few reviews mention the restaurant feeling busy and more takeout oriented with limited seating. A standout is the ability to customize sauces, especially garlic sauce on the side, which many say makes the meal. While experiences are mostly positive and some call it the best shawarma in Montreal, there are occasional complaints about inconsistent quality, over saucing, overcooked chicken, or bland potatoes, and at least one note about allergen concerns. Overall, Shawarmaz is seen as a reliable, value-driven spot for authentic Middle Eastern flavors that draws repeat visitors.

I've tried their shawarma wraps several times & wanted to try the shawarma bowl & it did not disappoint.

The bowl was filled to the brim with tender beef, & everything was flavorful & fresh!

It comes with basmati rice, potatoes, fattoush salad, & coleslaw.

Definitely a meal that will keep you full for several hours.

P.S. Make sure to order garlic sauce on the side-it makes all the difference.

Was in Montreal for one night, & walked into this spot for a quick bite heading back to the hotel. AMAZING shawarma. Just amazing flavors.

The flakey saaj bread, the crispy potatoes, the savory marinated chicken & beef. & super reasonable price for a considerate amount of food.

It's been a year & I still remember how I tasty it was. If you're in Montreal, I highly recommend

Overall, I had a really good experience at Shawarmaz on Crescent St-Catherine. I ordered the beef shawarma & really enjoyed it, great taste, good portion size, & very good quality for the price. The staff were nice & the environment was perfectly fine for a quick bite. Would definitely come back.
