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.

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.
