Restaurant Shawarmaz offers a variety of high quality Mediterranean dishes. We are known for our succulent Shawarmas, delicious Shish Taouk, as well as our famous Sushi Shawarmas.
Shawarmaz is widely praised for flavorful, fresh shawarma with generous portions and good value, and many reviewers say it’s among the best in Montreal with friendly, efficient service. The atmosphere is described as clean and organized, with consistent care in preparation and a strong emphasis on fresh ingredients and balanced flavors, and the staff is repeatedly cited as welcoming and helpful. Some reviews note the variety, the poutine twist, bowls, and Lebanese style flair, while a few point out downsides such as occasional greasiness, portion sizes not always meeting expectations for jumbo options, and inconsistency between visits, including ventilation or freshness issues. A number of families and regulars express loyalty and say they will return when in the area, and several reviewers strongly recommend Shawarmaz and encourage others to try it. Overall, the consensus is that Shawarmaz delivers delicious food, generous portions, and solid service, with room for improvement in consistency and some branch-specific issues.
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.
Une véritable expérience culinaire afghane ! J'ai eu la chance de découvrir ce restaurant, & je suis ravi de l'avoir fait. Dès que vous entrez, vous êtes accueilli par une ambiance chaleureuse & authentique, avec une décoration qui transporte directement en Afghanistan. La nourriture est absolument délicieuse. Chaque plat regorge de saveurs complexes & parfaitement équilibrées. Le kabuli palaw était exceptionnel, avec du riz parfumé, des épices subtiles, & une touche sucrée grâce aux raisins secs & aux carottes. Les mantous (raviolis afghans) étaient un délice fondant en bouche, & les brochettes étaient tendres, juteuses & savamment grillées. Le service était impeccable : souriant, attentif & prêt à expliquer chaque plat pour ceux qui ne sont pas familiers avec la cuisine afghane. C'est une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de gastronomie & ceux qui veulent découvrir une cuisine unique & pleine d'histoire. Je recommande sans hésiter ce restaurant & je suis impatient d'y retourner pour essayer d'autres plats.
Amazing service really nice employees specially naik & solen (super friendly people). Food 10/10, the chicken saj & the garlic potatoes were delicious. Also they put really good music. :))
Le goût était bon, mais honnêtement les portions très petites. Je ne m'attendais pas à ça. Je n'y retournerai pas, 2 assiettes mixtes avec patates froides ne valent pas 50$.
Never seen a team work so hard & so in synch. The orders they pounded out was remarkable to say the least. & i still got served so nicely & without feeling rushed.
