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.

Alright i wanted to add a picture but i had to dig in.
First of all, i thought this was'another shawarma spot' we had to try out.
Negative, this is a place that just happens to sell shawarma & excels at subs ! They have no business making subs that good but my goodness do they ever.

Also consistent, this is 3rd time in about 10 days we come here, every.single.time. blew it out of the park.

The portions are amazing, you will eat, you will enjoy & the price is right. Honestly, go for it. & the staff at st. Catherine location are great to deal & generous. 10/10

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.

Delicious food at an affordable price. Been there multiple times & the best place to get some authentic middle eastern food. I prefer to eat pita shawarma with the side of salad. They prepare it the authentic Lebanese way.

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