The dips were all delicious and rich, and the pita was fresh and warm. The garlic aioli was also strong and creamy. The atmosphere was very family friendly with an almost cafeteria-like feel. Very casual and comfortable environment, with fast and easy service. The washrooms also surprised me with tampons and pads for anyone who needed one. All in all, food was authentic, delicious, and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.

After walking inside you get the same cozy feeling and the smells just warm your soul up. They put so much dedication from the way they speak with you to the quality of the food, I was really satisfied. I didn't know this but you actually get $5 off your first order of $25 or more if you order online through their website shawermaplus.com - love supporting local! Since I was really craving mediterranean I decided to go all out and order. First, there was so much variety on the menu that there wasn't anything I couldn't order. Shawerma Plus has some of the best value meals so I decided to order the Saj Super Family Tray, Chicken Shawerma Poutine, and Baqlawah for dessert. My Saj Super Family Tray came out so crispy and flavorful - seriously filled with so much umami. I love how the poutine uses their own sauce and it really made for a unique combo. To finish, the baqlawah was the perfect finish with the sweet drizzle. For a Mediterranean craving, I will definitely be back. Thank you for all that you do!

They were super welcoming and friendly. The portions are huge!! And the quality is better than every other shawarma place I've been to in the other area. So much flavor in every bite. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and was pleasantly surprised how much I got for the price. They have a quaint little patio in the back that gives you that "backyard patio" feeling. I'll gladly make my way down this way again just for Queen Shawarma!

On November 8 2025, our party of four -- celebrating my lawyer brother's 68th birthday -- had what…read moreshould have been a pleasant evening at SOLE Restaurant in Waterloo. It turned into an embarrassing and disappointing experience. I am a retired Air Force Captain, a veteran of the Gulf War, and that evening I was joined by my brother and our spouses, we all choose to drink red wine. After enjoying dinner and ordering our second bottle of wine, a female manager approached our table to ask how we were getting home. I explained that my wife and I were staying at the Delta Hotel across the street and walked here and were walking back, while my brother mentioned that his daughter would be picking them up. Later, when we ordered a fourth bottle of wine to enjoy with dessert, the same manager returned and refused to serve us, claiming that it would amount to "one bottle per person" and could "put us over the limit." In all my 64 years, I have never been refused service ever -- especially while being responsible, polite, and transparent about our arrangements. Feeling insulted and unwelcome, we decided to take our business to the Delta Hotel, where we were treated with courtesy and common sense. Needless to say, SOLE will never see my face again, and I will make sure others are aware of how this restaurant treats paying, respectful customers celebrating a special occasion. Sincerely, Capt. (Ret'd) Martin Mattes Canadian Air Force Veteran

Very solid restaurant with great food! Place is classy but cozy. We ordered the seasonal soup which…read morewas a hearty beef and vegetable orzo soup, pear & blue pizza, and the roasted squash & duck fiorelli. Soup was perfect for the cold weather, and enough for two of us to share. Pizza had good chew to the crust and the combination of blue cheese and pears and honey was delicious. A little greasy. Pasta was delicious and cooked perfectly, the duck confit was so tender and flavourful, squash was also perfectly tender. They were also nice enough to bring a little birthday dessert for us! Only thing I'll say is that this might be the only restaurant I've felt like I'm doing something wrong... not that the servers were mean but the vibes are just something I've never felt before. Total bill for us before tax & tip was $67. Great pricing for great food. Highly recommend!

A gem that recently opened!…read more I believe this is a family business. We stopped by on one of the days when they just opened. We came across the restaurant when we were making our way to the highway. The family is SUPER friendly, kind and generous. The food is made fresh and service is quite fast. Customer service and quality seems to be some of their priorities. Most of the staff that we spoke to there were very friendly and down to have a conversation while we wait for food (as the restaurant wasn't too busy). The shawarma take out deal was a steal and portions were right on. The shawarma is filling enough and food is served fresh and hot.

I've been 3 times once for lunch and twice for dinner and it was only busy one of the times (dinner). It is a little bit on the pricey side but I think completely worth it because they give you 4 appetizer dips and bread at the start on the house, as well as the most heart-warming tea on the house to finish off your meal. The staff are very friendly and welcoming! There isn't a lot of choices on the menu, but everything I've tried has been delicious. The portion sizes are pretty big. For someone with a smaller appetite you may have to take some food home! Now I'll rate the things I've tried: Their meat dishes come with your choice of rice or fries and a salad. The salad is amazingly satisfying and the rice is the kind of pillowy fluffy comfort rice from your childhood. I've tried fries from friends and they were alright but not special. There are a ton of meat options and the quality IS AMAZING. Some of the best quality and tasting meat I've had. It's juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. I've tried the lamb chops: they were delicious and that's coming from someone that's not a massive lamb lover. A bit expensive ($30) though since there are only 3 chops. So I wouldn't get them again. Adana kebab: DELICIOUS. Perfectly seasoned. Comes with a bit of thin bread to eat it with. This was my favourite order. Shashlik (forgive me I forget how to spell it): again a little pricier ($30 I think) but delicious!! Its a skewer with onion and perfectly delicious meat. Cheese pide: another favourite!!! This item is so affordable and is HUGE!! it tastes incredible I genuinely felt like I was in Turkey munching on the soft doughy cheesy delight that it was. The garlic sauce it comes with is heavenly. Lahamchun: yummy! Its a thinner dough than the pide so it's not as filling. But it's tasty and the portion size is huge as well. Good if you don't want to order a main meat dish. Cigar borek: good! Its a cylinder shaped pastry filled with cheese. Doesn't come with a lot. I probably wouldn't get again. Grape leaves: My friend LOVED these but I personally didn't. It didnt come with many though so its a bit pricier! All the "on-the-house" appetizers are delicious and fun to eat. My favourite is the beet one. The tea is amazing as well. A bit strong but it goes extremely well with the food. I think that's everything I wanted to mention. Highly recommend this place and I will be going often :)
