    Lamb shank and salad buried in sauce
    Ross H.

    Had a very disappointing dinner there tonight with my wife. Reviews on here were very good but not true. Dinning in you get styrofoam to eat off of not plates and you get plastic utensils. Server barely spoke English There was hardly any meat on my lamb shank but you couldn't tell as sauce was slopped over everything even the salad. My wife did get a decent amount of meat. The humus tasted nice as did the abundant supply of rice. Took about ten minutes of conversation with the server before they were able to inform us they had none of the three deserts advertised. Will probably not be back as will save my middle eastern eating for when I'm in Toronto I've been eating middle eastern food for over 45 years now and this was the worst presentation I have ever had.

    Solid meal! I just wish the portions were slightly bigger. I forgot my favorite spot in Peterborough is closed Sundays and Mondays so I needed to find an alternative. Yelp recommended this shawarma spot across the street. Decent rating and I didn't have to find new parking. This place is no frills. Limited seating. Seems very popular with the local university's students.i ordered the chicken shawarma over salad. There was some confusion because they don't offer this. I then asked for the chicken shawarma plate, no rice, extra salad. I wish they filled the plate with more salad and delicious toppings. I felt like they just deleted my rice and I had empty space left. The chicken was very juicy and seasoned perfectly. All their toppings were very fresh. The garlic sauce wasn't thick and pasty like traditional it was more like ranch sauce but garlic. It tasted good but not what I'm used to. Overall my food was super tasty, i would like to try a few more dishes to see if they can earn that last star.

    Chicken Shawarma and Koobideh kebab

    Small cosy family run restaurant. The owner was really nice and friendly. Food was excellent. We had the Chicken Shawarma, Spinach curry, Koobideh kebab, eggplant stew and chicken biryani. Everything was delicious! Chicken shawarma was specially soft, juicy and flavorful; prolly one of the best I've had in North America!

    Excellent shawarma. Chicken is flavorful and the rice was perfect. Very reasonable prices. Definitely recommend.

    VERY INCONSISTENT food. Some times it's pretty good, sometimes absolutely horrible. They are starting to lessen their portions as well.

    I was excited to find Shawarma in Peterborough, as I was previously driving to Oshawa to a place I…read morefound and liked. I'm a bit on the fence at the moment. The value for money is excellent - a large dinner (they call it medium) for $6. Chicken shawarma, grilled vegetables, rice, salad, pita, pickles, hot and garlic sauces. I have gone a few times now and can report that consistency of freshness is somewhat spotty - for example sometimes (like today) the rice was very fresh, but previously it has been crunchy after sitting too long and then being heated in a frying pan. Pickles and salad have always been excellent. Today the pita was stale (I'm not sure if there wasn't actually a bit of mold starting to appear on one of them, but it could have just been a small spot of natural colouration.). There could be more chicken, or at least larger pieces of chicken, as they simply become lost among all the various grilled vegetables and other items, and I have previously thought I had lots of chicken and then discovered it was actually okra, I believe (part of the grilled vegetables). All things considered, and particularly given the low price, I hesitate to not give 3 stars, but Yelp's criteria is that 2 stars = "Mey, I've experienced better" and, indeed, I have experienced better Shawarma/Middle Eastern cuisine, even in the low budget range. The owner/staff are great and friendly, and certainly work hard (they also own/operate Free Topping Pizza).

    Stumbled in this place and glad I did. It was the juiciest ans tender skewers. We got a mix of the…read moreskewers from the Koobideh, chicken and Barg skewers. The Barg is thr best followed by the koobideh and chicken. Something to get is the Mast-o-Khiar, it's a great add to eat with the rice and the Pita bread. Can't wait to come back again! The food was soo good, we didn't get to take pictures cause we devoured it so fast.

    Barg Wrap (Steak) Shawarma Plate…read more We stopped in today and ordered take out for lunch, after a friend had recommended this place to us. We spoke with the hostess and she was an absolute sweetheart. We did not know they have been around since 2008! However, there is new ownership this last year. I must say there's a reason people are recommending the food. There is free parking in behind the restaurant. The interior is cozy and has tables for dining in. We opted for a wrap and a plate; splitting both. The plate was loaded with rice, garlic sauce, hummus and lots of chicken shawarma. Topped with another sauce, this was the perfect combo. The meat was juicy and flavorful. There were multiple dressings to choose from for the salad. The Barg wrap was a steak wrap and my hubby commented on how tender the meat was. The wrap was an ok size and was a nice mix of veggies. All in all we had a solid experience and will definitely be back to try more of their menu.
