I had to get this twice while visiting Vancouver because it was so good the first time. It was just as good the second time I got it too! My husband tried the lamb the second time and he preferred the chicken. Making it a "Jumbo" for $4 was so worth it, we couldn't get over the size! We had them add all of the toppings and extra hot peppers. Everything went well so together in the wrap! Also, the wrap itself was one of the things we liked the most. read more

We tried the bbq plate. Meat was tender and all the other accompanying items were delicious. The falafels ordered on the side weren't the best we've had and probably wouldn't order them again. They were busy and seating is limited. This is not a table service established. Chipotle model and that's all great if you're in a hurry. If you eat in and don't get a carry out box, the portion on their platter is larger. We didn't ask for carry-out but that's what we received. We're not sure why? Plenty of staff on duty and they were friendly as we went through the line. Would we go back, maybe if they were the only shawarma shop around and maybe they are best in the area. They were busy. read more

We had dinner here on our first day in Vancouver before boarding our Alaska cruise, and it was a fantastic way to kick off the trip! The food was genuinely delicious. The seasoning was spot-on, and the meats were perfectly cooked: juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. We especially loved the warm sweet mint tea that a staff member brought around; it was so refreshing and calming after a long travel day. The only downside was the salad dressing. It was overwhelmingly sour and far too heavy, to the point where we couldn't eat the salad at all. Such a shame, as we were really looking forward to the greens! The setup is counter-service style: you order at the counter and then pick up your food and drinks. It's casual and efficient. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back whenever we visit Vancouver again. Highly recommend! read more

Ambience: Indoor seating available Options: Plenty of choices, especially for meat eaters Price: Reasonable for the quantity and location (downtown) Service: Good Taste: Amazing Went there for lunch and ordered the falafel roll. The price was very reasonable for such a huge portion, especially given the downtown location. The taste was amazing and definitely lived up to its popularity. The falafel was soft, fresh, and really well made. Overall, I loved it here and would definitely come back again! read more

I reivisted Jerusalem Shawarma after the soccer game. This place is always very very busy. We were lucky, our waiting time was not too long. We ordered Shawarma mix wrap(Beef and chicken ), Mix Shawarma meat rice bowl(beef and chicken) I did not try wrap, I was told it was delicious as usual. The portion was very large. Beef and chicken rice bowl was great, too. I liked hummus on the top and sour cream on the top and provided great flavor to meats. Chicken and beef were a bit dry, but, hummus and sour cream balanced niccely. Portion was large, too. Oveall, I highly recommend this place. A lot of customers ordered take out because it was very hard to grab table. Very popular place. read more

Food: 2.5/3 Service: 1/1 Ambiance: 0.5/1 We ordered their 1kg bbq platter and got a big batch of meat which was good, but we weren't aware that it lacked veggies of any sort. We got some wraps, a ton of meat, and some fries, so the meal overall felt way too heavy and lacking. We dined in and so was offered some really good tea which was nice. However what was the biggest negative for me was that the tables and chairs were not clean and was kind of all over the place. I had trouble finding a table to sit down at that had been cleaned. There were stains and leftover bits on the tables and there were chairs blocking the aisles that made it hard to navigate and sit down. Overall not bad and since it's close by I wouldn't mind coming back, but probably take-out would be better as the menus onlinenseem to be more explicit about what are in the dishes and I wouldn't need to worry about dirty tables and chairs. read more

The food here is amazing! We drove all the way from Seattle, WA because we've heard so much about Jerusalem Shawarma! The service is top-notch and the ambience is just like being back home. Please come and check this place out if you're in this area! read more

OMG. I saw this place on some list on social media about needing to check it out and I am so glad I did. I think it was the best Shawarma place I've ever been to in my life... Better than Germany.. better than anything else, I have tried at least in Canada... I got a beef Shawarma plate and everything on the plate was absolutely phenomenal. The hummus was a ridiculous creaminess that I can't even compare it to anywhere else. The potatoes with a garlic sauce on top... I could eat that all day seriously!! The beef on the rice were amazing together and the crunchy pita on top of the salad added a really nice texture. Wasifa came by with some tea samples, and I also got to try a falafel and baklava sample and everything was heavenly. The price at first felt a little bit steep, but you're getting a solid plate of food. Bigger than most platters you'll find out there so definitely feels worth the money. Staff were really friendly and I like the order at the counter and grab your food to eat at a table vibe. I liked the beautiful Arabic Palestinian tiles and will definitely be returning. read more

Here's a case where the reviews led me to believe that this place was perfection. Was it very good? Yes! Was it amazing? No. You order at the counter then wait for them to call your number. There was plenty of indoor seating on a sunday for lunch. We ordered the chicken tawook salad and the mixed schwarma salad. The chicken was tasty but there just was not enough salad in my bowl. The hot dressing was spicy but I found it way too sweet. Hubby really enjoyed his schwarma bowl. The complimentary hit sweet tea was lovely. read more

I Love Lamb. And of all the Shawarma, Wrap, Sandwich, Flatbread..whatever places you wanna call it ....Jerusalem Shawarma is the only one that quenches my Lamb Thirst. Ok. This is what I think of the place. You walk in and you feel the instant change in culture, energy and vibe. Your eyes catch their extensive menu offering so many of that region's exquisite dishes. You witness right in front of you from their open kitchen the friendly and hardworking staff. Greeting, smiling, rapidly servicing guests and constantly cleaning and maintaining prep. stations to uphold hygiene standards. This is how it works: You order at the very front. You pay. You get a number. You wait. Your number is called you walk up to the toppings section. You pick your toppings. You move slightly to the left to the end station. Grab your stuff and enjoy. This busy, bustling, high pace, have-all-your-senses-on kinda vibe is part of the experience. That's what I'm trying to tell you. When you step into "Jerusalem Shawarma" it's like....you've stepped into .... Well...That stunning part of the world. Jerusalem. So, when I tell you it's an experience. I mean it literally. You don't just get a great Shawarma, but an incredibly similar experience picking up lunch as you would there. If you're into traveling, experiencing scrumptious foods, and wonderful people....take it in. Have fun. Enjoy. Because this place will be different than any other lunch spot you've been to in Vancouver. That is pretty much a guarantee. Loved everything about my wrap. The cool thing is that you choose what you want on it. You can go more on the crisp carb and protein combo, or you can have all the veggies, or you can make it saucy..... Next time, I think I'll have the Lamb just with their incredible regional toasted flat bread with just a couple of veggies.....giving it that juicy lamb with crisp pickled taste embraced into the toasted wrap. Grabbing my order with their kind appreciative farewell. Leaving beautiful Jerusalem. Arriving back in Vancouver. read more

I got take out. Cant comment on dine in experience. Counter service was fine. Restaurant seemed clean enough. It is new after all. I got the shawarma plate, added Falafel. Got some garlic sauce and hot sauce. Falafel came with some tahini. The shawarma meat itself - excellent. Might be the best in town. I spent several years living in Ottawa which has abundant amazing Shawarma, arguably Canada's shawarma capital, and this place reminds me of it. Kudos to them for their meat. roast potatoes - excellent, crisp outside, flavourful rice - standard, well cooked, not over/under. Pickles - excellent. Salad - standard, not much to say here. garlic sauce - excellent Falafel balls - hot, crisp, flavorful. But just too salty. Tahini - average Hot sauce - not hot, at all, and too sweet for me. Hummus - average - a little too runny for my taste but it is rich and creamy. For Vancouver Shawarma, this is the place to go. Easy recommend. Just avoid their hot sauce, and falafel is too salty. Solid 4/5, probably 4.5/5. Its not 5/5 though. read more

Lived up to hype! I got there just before the lunch rush so everything was super fresh. For sure recommend to try, will definitely go again and try a plate. Huge portion size, I couldn't finish it and packed it for later. It was about $18 incl tip for a takeout chicken wrap, didn't even get eye contact or a thanks for the tip though read more

The food here was delicious and staff was friendly. The space was nicely decorated and looked clean. Various tables indoors. Ventilation could be better, it was a bit warm (I felt the food smell stuck on to our clothes) and the wait time was a bit long since they call you over to choose the toppings, but it was worth it and we just waited by the entrance until we heard our number called. We had the poutine with chicken and beef along with a beef shawarma and a chicken shawarma - all very tasty and had generous portions! They have a selection of fruit juices, had the pineapple and it was good. Recommend and would go back if I had this spot close to home. :) read more

There's a reason why this place has got pretty much a 5/5 star rating! I got the meat lovers combo plate for togo and BOY was it hella loaded. So many different components and yet everything worked sososo well together. Every bite was an enjoyable one. I just wish they provided extra sauces for free because the meats weren't super seasoned. I got all the sauces they offered and it was like a medley in my mouth. My favorite protein was definitely the donair (chicken and beef were alright too, but just not as good). The garlic sauce was amazinggg with the potatoes. Hummus and salad were also delicious. I think they forgot my pita, so I just had the hummus with the potatoes. The staff came off a bit intimidating at first but were actually friendly. The interior of the store was nice, clean, and bright. Definitely will be back the next time I am in Vancouver! read more

Overwhelming number of fake reviews on Google lured us in, but after we ate we checked Yelp. We knew something was up when there were only 30 reviews on Yelp, compared to 7k+ on Google after only one year. The food is mid tier, nothing to write home about. The restaurant on the other hand, is a terrible layout. There is nowhere to sit, tables are dirty, and the staff is rude and dismissive. Something is wrong with the kitchen exhaust hoods because our clothes reeked afterwards from the smoky restaurant. In a town with plenty of great donair, don't fall for the (fake) hype. read more

Deliciously Chaotic! It was easily the best meal from our weekend trip to Vancouver but they really need to revamp their ordering system. On a busy night, there's no room for anyone (staff or patrons) between the counter and the seating area. Also, a nice woman offered us her table but as we're cleaning it off before we sit, an entitled teenager jumps in a seat, waves over her friends and said it doesn't look like there's room for us. Unbelievable...Next time, we'll just get the food for takeout. read more

Absolutely excellent. I had the beef wrap and lentil soup. Their wraps are a bit different than typical shawarma places. Instead of a regular pita, they use a thinner, chewier flatbread. They have a wide selection of juices and I was kindly offered a small cup of tea. Quite busy, a well-deserved success for some Palestinian brothers. read more

WOW. The food is so full of flavor. We ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and mixed shawarma plate. Either can easily feed 2 people each - and my husband and I are both big eaters. Pineapple juice is also very sweet and dense with fruit pulp. I went 2 days later and had the falafel wrap with spicy sauce. Everything is amazing. Easily one of the top 20 restaurants I have been to in my lifetime. All staff were extremely friendly and served free hot sweet tea and a small dessert. Overall, great experience. read more
