I tried Shawarmaz's new sourdough sandwiches, & they're a fantastic addition to the menu! I had all four options: the beef shawarma, Bomb chicken shawarma, falafel, & lamb soujouk. Each sandwich had its own signature sauce that complemented the fillings really well. My favorites were the lamb soujouk with the cilantro lime sauce & the Bomb chicken shawarma with the dynamite sauce. The sourdough was fresh with a nice crisp exterior, & every sandwich was well balanced. Definitely a menu item I'll be ordering again!

Great delicious food, we tried the magic routine but I forgot to take a before picture. I am posting the after picture. We also had Philly bomb & a chicken shawarma. They were all good & we enjoyed. They are also open late so we went late at night & loved the food. Worker was very helpful & helped us with our food.

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

Quality of food has degraded. Last time I ordered chicken shawarma meal. Chicken was overcooked & the garlic potato was old. I wanted to eat in but it was too noisy.

The chicken sandwich in Saj bread is really good. 29$ for two sandwiches is crazy tho. These prices are mad.
