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.

Great place to try the delicious spinning meats. The mixed large wrap was great & the sauces were just right. I could still smell the tasty goodness on my hands the next day.

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.

The staff was very nice. I have a nut allergy, & they assured me that the restaurant doesn't have any nuts. I got a wrap & tabbouleh. The wrap was great. When I ate the tabbouleh it tasted nice & fresh but I felt something hard in there. Worried I took it out & it was a slightly tear shaped nut like item. My husband talked to the staff & they said that there were no nuts in the tabbouleh only bulgar. I stopped eating it because I felt a little funny & bulgar doesn't have that shape typically. We went back to our hotel shortly after. About 1 hr later I was vomiting which is my standard reaction I have after nuts. Honestly I get so scared eating out with this allergy.
