Whenever I'm in this area, I stop by Royal Shwarma. Compared to many places I've been to, it's soooo tasty! Today I also slammed their creamy expresso. Highly recommend the shawarmas in this place. Other Shwarma places may be more modern, but pale in comparison to the quality here. read more

Always have had excellent service and yummy shawarma for last 20 years I order extra when I visit my kid's university

Over priced poor quality food, I was hungry and craving a shawarma to find paying over 23$ for rice and cheap oily beef and sauce...couldn't finish 1/4 of my meal and feel like crap, don't eat here unless you want to disappointed, should change name to ROYAL CRAP read more

Royal Shawarma - My dissatisfying meal - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

totally the best shawarma I've ever tasted ! Looking forward to my next visit!!

Great customer service and good food. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma. Price is comparatively higher than other places, but I am happy with the portion. read more

See all

This place is literally a hole in the wall. Was greeted by the cashier and read the menu on the board and went for the chicken and rice shawarma. The cook slices off a small amount of meat and proceeded to re-cook it on the grill. A takeout container full of rice and topped with over cooked meat was provided. No salad, no toppings, no pita, just meat on rice. Salty - dry - flavourless All this and a pop for the low cost of $18 Avoid this place. read more

Listen. Listen. Listen. I not only drove from Michigan to eat here but I'm taking 3x home with me - just because people don't believe me when I talk about this place all year long #BestHappyBirthdayGift2Me read more

Royal Shawarma - a bottle of water in a bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

I used to love this place. Over time they have dramatically reduced the portions. My pita today super disappointing. Not how I remember from last year at all. Price is definitely not worth what you get anymore. Lots of other better shawarma places out there. read more

They never charge you the same if you see your recipe for same thing is different price They charge me for a coke $3 this place is a rip-off never going back read more

Alright. Don't let the few satisfactory reviews fool you. This place is a hidden gem. A diamond in the rough. This is some of the best Shawarma chicken you will ever have. Why? Because they not only slow cook it on that Shawarma Showtime rotisserie thing. They slice it off and chop it up on the flat top quickly, to get it crispy. They're not "re-cooking" the chicken. Order the Chicken Shawarma plate with Rice. Have them put some of that heavenly hot and garlic sauce on the top and you will have one of the most addictive it delicious things you have ever eaten. You won't want to stop eating it. read more

STAY AWAy! Terrible experience. Grossly overpriced, poor quality of food and THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! We ordered a large Shawarma plate that cost $22.95! Since the chef does not run his rotisseries we had to wait about 25 min for the food to be ready only to find it was mostly rice and a very basic salad (lettuce and tomatoes) topped off with the Shawarma and sauce. When compared to the Chef's Door also in Oakville where you get a plate for $11 that has rice, potatoes, nicely appointed salad and meat you cannot even start to compare. Worst of all you will feel very uncomfortable in the place, the owner and employees are not friendly AT ALL and you get the distinct feeling they are saying rude things about you in their own language. I dont know how he stays in business. I gave this place a second change but found the experience to be the worst on both occasions. read more

I really love this place. I had the chicken pineapple shawarma a few times now ane it is awesomeness on a plate. The rice that it comes with is fluffy and the sauces are crazy good. It is on the pricey side, but the portion is huge so it is not bad in value in the end. read more

This was literally the worst shawarma I've ever had. It was a joke. Asked for a chicken shawarma and the attached photo is what I actually got. A pile of half burnt half raw chicken and some lettuce. Where I come from that is not even close to a shawarma. Where's the tomatoes? The onions? The turnips? The pickles? Etc. For $8 - do not waste your time or money. read more

Royal Shawarma - Just brutal. Had two bites and tossed it. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Wandered in since extreme pita closed down, I regret NOTHING! Best falafel I've had in Canada for sure. Super crispy with fresh vegetables. The garlic sauce was awesome and they were liberal with it! Just a touch of heat and they served it in foil then put it in a wrap-shaped bag so you don't get sauce on yourself. Genius! It was huge, filling, and fresh. I watched them pour the oil so the falafel were still crispy in the pita. Awesome. Will be back when I'm in oakville for sure! read more

Not sure why this place gets bad reviews. I went in yesterday for a quick bite. I was looking for some chicken over a salad. The guy behind the counter made a recommendation, answered all my questions. The portion for the small salad was quite large. The amount of chicken they give you is sizeable and the chicken was delicious! It wasn't dry at all and was seasoned really well. I gave a 4 star and not 5 because I did pay $13 for a small salad which is a little overpriced, even with the amount of chicken they give you. I'll be back to try out other items on the menu. read more

I've been here for lunch numerous times. The chicken shawarma is what I get and it's always consistent. I don't find the owners rude. They're just getting though it like the rest of us. read more

I eat a lot of shawarma. I like the food here. They were very friendly to me. I've looked at the other reviews and did not have a bad experience. The chicken is nicely seasoned and this has turned out to be one of my favourite places. The shawarma is large compared to most other places. It's been busy every time I go which is a good indicator that other people like it. The place isn't fancy but I'm not there for decorations I'm there for FOOD. I also love the bread they use to wrap it. It not the normal pita bread you get most other places. I've also tried the falafel which was good. I saw someone complain about the large chicken dinner being over $20. He was correct and it does mostly have rice. What he didn't tell you is that it the family size and fed me for 3 days. They recently opened Oakville Pizza next door which I haven't tried yet. read more

Bad service. Pricey. And limited toppings. Very basic. Do not recommend. Better shawarma places.

It's always hard trying to find a good shawarma spot. I pulled into Petro to get gas and my hunger kicked in. I thought I give this place a shot. It took about 10 minutes to make my rice and chicken but it was definitely worth it. The salad was good too. The chicken was tender and juicy unlike a lot of other places where it's dry and just sitting on the grill. Everyone else eating seemed to be satisfied. I always go in with low expectations and found out this place exceeded them. It was 2 younger gentlemen that served me and they were polite. Will come back here next time I drive by. read more

Only thing I order is the chicken Greek salad. It is tasty but I find it expensive ($16 for regular size)so it is a treat. I have found that when the younger staff are around the quality of my salad is better - I.e fresher ingredients. Ive has a couple of situations where my stomach has been upset and I truly believe that's because the tomatoes used were not fresh (you can taste the difference). Also a few times key ingredients like feta were missing. I always do take out so I find out when I get home and can't be bothered to go back. read more

This is my go to Chicken Shawarma /w rice restaurant. It is perfect every time! I recommend a liberal amount of their "hot" sauce and garlic sauce to go along with this dish. I have tried their other dishes and they are also very good. It' is a bit on the pricey side though. read more

Worst Customer service EVER. I was standing waiting to order and the guy had no customers and he didn't ask me How Can I help you, or what can I get you. So I said I'll have beef shawarma, but he didn't proceed to make my shawarma. I asked him if he was going to make it and he said, "why don't you just f off"!!! Needless to say I walked out for good. I spoke to other people who said he made them wait an exceptionally long time. Bad Customer service deserves NO Business. read more

The shawarma was tasteless. The chef was rude. I actually had to go to the near by gas station to buy a candy bar after just so I could confirm my taste buds were still working. Go to Chef's door instead (either location). Just to re-iterate. This place was so bad, I actually made a yelp account in hopes that others won't dare venture here. read more

Their hot sauce tastes like ketchup.if you hate ketchup like me, I suggest you stay away

This place usually pumps out the best chicken and rice shawarma ever, but on this particular occasion a couple of kids were working the kitchen and the food just wasn't nearly as bang on as it usually is. read more

Royal Shawarma - Chicken and rice shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Went in with colleagues for lunch, we were all so suprised upon encountering these very very rude people ... didn't understand a word we said so their son came in to help....plus they were out of beef shawarma which was the whole point of going there in the first place at what I expect was their busiest hour! Very pricey too! read more

I'd say this shawarma is pretty average - meat was good but they went pretty light on the turnips and didn't offer hummus. It was also poorly wrapped, he warned me it would be messy but literally it ended up pouring down my hair and shirt. XD read more

Stopped in for lunch, save yourself the trouble and just get the small portion - the large was just too much food for one person! The Shawarma with pineapple was delicious! read more

Litterly the best Shawarma's ever ,,, during spring my boyfriend worked in oakville and tried this place he loved it then one night after he was done work he brought me here and omg i loved there Shawarmas sooo yummy and i loved there sauces read more

I struggle with this place. The food is okay and when there was less shawarma competition I put up with the prices and the rude owner and wife....but no longer. It was so uncomfortable being served I started to send my husband and he didn't want to go. It's expensive and no longer worth it. read more

Overpriced. Quality is ok at best and they are not always at their best. Service was terrible. Not really much else to say. 2 stars because it's edible in a pinch and I think 1 star should be reserved for inedible only ... read more

Horrible restaurant, they serve old food, small portions and rude owner!!!!..Don't recommend this place to anybody!...People don't get this place mixed up with Shawarma Royal on Albion Rd, that one there is excellent, good food, big portion and nice owner exactly the opposite of Royal Shawarma!!!! read more

the chicken is rubbery, not many options on the menu. the place seems dirty and the customer service is non-existent
