The prices at this restaurant are extremely high compared to what they offer in terms of food quality, ingredients, & portion sizes. The prices are also much higher than other restaurants that serve the same type of food. I ordered two sandwiches, two poutines, & fries, & I paid $135.
Absolutely loved the food! Everything was fresh, flavourful, & beautifully prepared. The portions were generous, & you can really tell care goes into every dish. The flavors were well balanced & incredibly satisfying. Great value for the quality, & the overall experience was excellent. I'll definitely be coming back & recommending this place to others!

Top-tier shawarma spot. The food is consistently on point, full of flavor, & clearly made with care. You can tell they really know their food. The service is just as good as the food - fast, friendly, & professional.
Big shoutout to Wali & Adnan, they're amazing & always make sure everything is perfect. Overall quality, service, & experience are all excellent.
Highly recommend - definitely one of the best shawarma places around.
My 1st visit. I ordered 3 beef plates but my beef was dry & chewy. The portions were a bit small & I find food quality not as good as Basha. The food variety was good though.
I'm a big fan of Shawarmaz & have tried all the branches in Montreal-I really enjoy it overall. However, the quality at this particular branch is noticeably different from the others. I've had bad experiences twice now. The vegetables, like onions & turnips, were not only not fresh but had actually gone bad. The portions were also smaller, with less beef than usual, & the bread wasn't toasted properly either. Totally disappointed
Updating my previous review: I haven't visited other locations recently, but it's disappointing to witness the consistent decline in quality at the West Island location. There are now many better options available in the area. ______________________________ I have tried Shawarmaz in multiple locations - Laval, Vaudreuil, & now in the west island - & I must say, this place outshines every other Shawarma joint on the island. It is disappointing to think about other places charging the same price while offering anything less than the exceptional quality found here. Shawarmaz is not the type of place that simply stuffs lettuce & cabbage with a small amount of meat. They understand that Shawarma is all about the meat, & they have truly mastered it. From the superb meat quality to the perfectly balanced seasoning, & the ideal ratio of meat to condiments, Shawarmaz has thought of every detail. While it can be challenging for any Shawarma restaurant to fully replicate the exact Middle Eastern experience due to the unavailability of lamb tail fat in the Canadian market (which provides a unique flavor to Shawarma), Shawarmaz manages to replicate to a great degree almost the same experience you would have on the streets of Damascus or Beirut. I am thoroughly impressed with Shawarmaz & highly recommend it for anyone looking for an authentic & delicious Shawarma experience.
