It has the word "Shawarma" in it, so I had to check it out. On my quest to find the best shawarma in Toronto, I came across this one. I ordered a Boss Box of mixed shawarma (chicken, beef) on a bed of salad (since not eating grains) and the garlic and tahini sauce. When he squeezed it on, it appeared very watery, so it let me to believe this is probably the same sauce used for coleslaw (which was an option). The size of the portion us AWESOME. The box is huge. The chicken and beef were dry, though with enough of that sauce on in, it made it palatable. Overall is was decent, the Boss Box size is worth a visit. read more

Ordered a take away at this restaurant. The location has enough parking. The ingredients were fresh and the sauces tasted great. But the rice was a let down. I liked the packing as it was easy for take away and allowed to stack boxes on top of one another. Also felt a bit on the pricey side. I tried out once and it was okay but I don't think I would be a repeat customer. read more

I wanted to wrap up my latest Toronto visit with some good shawarma, and this place had good reviews, plus the name. If you say you're the boss, you gotta mean what you say. It's a pretty lofty expectation that this venue sets by its name alone. Unfortunately, the boss wasn't in today. I usually love hole in the wall spots like this, but this entire experience showed that shawarma boss is the boss...of mediocrity. After eating a "boss box" consisting of chicken, yellow rice, lettuce, onions and tomato, there's no doubt I was satiated (despite the small amount of chicken in the box). Unfortunately, I left with hunger pangs for a better shawarma experience. The man behind the counter was telling customers he was out of a particular meat (I didn't hear which) and to come back in a half hour. Pros: they give you plenty of napkins Cons: value for money, location, no cutlery or drinks other than bottles of water and soda. If you're at the nearby flea market or in the immediate area of Warden and Eglinton, it may be worth stopping in for a bite. Otherwise I would keep looking. Price paid: $13.50 for small water bottle and the "boss box" that was more rice and vegetables than meat. read more

It was getting late and we came here on a whim. Plus we were hungry and it was just around the corner from where we were. The food was actually not bad. The place was clean. The lady behind the counter was really friendly and had good suggestions. The prices were reasonable and the portions were more than decent! We had one boss sized chicken Shawarma with rice. The chicken was flavourful but the garlic sauce could've been a little more garlicky. And, one felafel sandwich. The sandwich was even grilled on a Panini press. Next time I'm in the area and need something quick, I will be coming back. read more

Very decent. HUGE portions. Even the small sized box I can't finish. Lots of options for what goes in your box. It's really close to my work so we get it most weeks. read more

It's for a much nicer interior that most shawarma places on Lawrence that look run down and seem like noone cares cz it's cheap. (Talking bout Decor) Flavour wise, it's good. Not the worst neither the best. I always their their BOX - specially the shawarma poutine box - it's filling and good! Usually get Regular size (which is enough for one person) - but got the "BOSS'" size (large $10.99) - but ...the quantity of fries was the same as regular :/ kind of sad. Hopefully they explain how this size works. It's HALAL - gets his chicken from a halal meat store down the road The beef comes from the costco in the area that is Business Costco -, they serve Islamic hand slaughtered beef read more

Mainstream Shawarma for an okkkk price. I did like that the chicken meat was all white, but the quality of the rest of the food was average. If you love Shawarma, you're better off going to an authentic place anywhere along Lawrence Ave in Scarborough where the restaurants are family owned and offer authentic Shawarma at a better price. read more

This time they serve the rice in the shawarma cold. It was busy Saturday evening and am guessing they make a lot of it and it was fast order. I always come here on weekdays and sometimes am the only customer. They cook the rice in the pan and served hot with crispy meat and fresh vegetables. Week ends are busier so better come in weekdays. read more

I was so hungry I ordered a boss size chicken shawarma salad...gosh...that was a mistake. I should of ordered a regular because I was stuffed half way through my meal. Decent portion and yummy! It's comparable to other shawarma places. I would probably hit it up again if I'm in the area. read more

Shawarma Boss - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is the worst place I have ever been in 2018. The owner is very rowdy and disrespectful. He placed a board outside his shop showing the pics of chicken and beef shawarma wraps both 2 for 9.99. When I placed the order for 1 chicken and 1 beef shawarma he charged me $12+tax. When i pointed out at the board outside his shop having the pics of both chicken or beef shawarma 2 for 9.99. He said most of the people complaint about it and gave me an attitude when I told him that this is misleading advertising and if only chicken shawarma wraps are for 2 for 9.99 then he should remove the pic of beef from the advertising board, he said rudely its only $2 more. I told him that its not a matter of $2 but principle, integrity and honesty to which he returned $2 very disrespectfully. This guy must remember that this is Canada where he cannot make people fool and misbehaves with the customers with arrogance. I would never even recommend this place to my enemy. The owner has attitude problem. I will go back to Bliss shawarma across the road where the owner is really nice and friendly and taste and quality of his food is far better than Shawarma boss who is trying to be bossy with his customers or will go to Ibrahim Shawarma on Lawrence av. east. If there is any star less than 1 I would have given him that for his worst customer service and cold shawarmas. Extremely Disappointed :( read more

Great food and great service! Chicken shawarma wrap was excellent. Recommended if you are in the area.

Delicious sharwama poutine, the combination of the sauces and veggies make it a very unique meal. If you're in the area this place is a must try! The store is clean + has a fantastic layout & the staff are really friendly. Will definitely return for a sharwama next time ! read more

Very clean and spacious establishment. We were looking for a quick lunch and ordered the boss box. I got the chicken with salad and it was delicious. Not the best shawarma I've ever had but the service was great and the food was ready almost instantaneously. The price was comparable with most shawarma places. I would recommend this place. read more

Fantastic shawarma and fries! I don't usually venture down here but I was running some errands and was close by. I did a quick check on Yelp for some good eats and found this place. I was not disappointed. The chicken shawarma was tasty with all the right fixtins. What actually surprised me were the fries. They were nice and crispy. I honestly wish this place was closer to where I live. read more

I will not be coming back. After sending my girlfriend in to pick up my doordash order from here, she came out very upset saying the worker who served her had been very rude and aggressive when serving her, complaining that she had used doordash to order food instead of the normal walk in ordering. Nobody should ever have to experience service like this especially not normal customer. I will never be coming back to Shawarma Boss as I've lost all respect for this establishment and it's employees. Great way to lose customers. I will be ordering from elsewhere next time. read more

Walked into this place after craving some shawarma and having found nothing good in the area. The guy behind the counter (I think the owner) was super nice. Had a nice little chat before he helped me and my girlfriend order. The food was very fresh, veggies at places like this are usually pretty bad so I was impressed. We got the shawarma box and the portion is good for $9, maybe a bit more chicken would've been cool but it was still satisfying. I will definitely be coming back the owner was a nice guy and the food was good, especially in this area which has some lacklustre dining. read more

Had a lovely experience here. There seemed to be a husband and wife duo working that day and they were quite friendly. Much cleaner than the typical shawarma place im scarborough. I was also pleased to see that the pricing was very fair; i figured it would be more expensive considering it was a nicer venue. I got a regular sized shawarma box, which was about $9. The portion was very generous, and overall it was delicious. It came with this orange rice, which was good, and it also cam with a spring mix instead of regular lettuce. Overall it was a good shawarma, however it wasn't spectacular in the taste. If youre looking to try a new place in the area, highly reccomend! Try splitting a boss size box, and save yourself a few bucks. read more

Shawarma Boss - Beef shawarma box - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a good place for a quick bite if your hungry and happen to be in the area. Daily special: 2 sandwiches for $9.99 is a good deal. We got chicken shawerrma; meat was well seasoned; toppings were fresh. I got a water bottle and it was $1.7 with tax. That's expensive for just Kirland water bottle. read more

Hmm what to say about this place. Well first let me say it has a nice and cozy eating area the people who own the place are very nice the food was good. I got the chicken shawarma and the beef shawarma both we quite good in size and taste overall the food was good and the price was right. Next time I'm in the area I will give the shawarma poutine a try. My wife gave the box shawarma a try it just as good as the wrap but a bit more bang for your buck read more

I came here the second day it was open as ordered a small shawarma wrap. The staff were very friendly and the price for a small shawarma was reasonable ($3.99). Everything tasted fresh and I loved the spicy sauce they added. The shawarma was full of flavour but the only downside was the pita was not warm. The pita was actually kind of cold and dry. I also thought they they folded the pita strangely, compared to other shawarma places. However I can appreciate that it was their opening weekend and they were working out a few kinks. I would definitely go back to try them again because their food is tasty and I'm happy to have a new place to eat that offers vegetarian options. read more

I got a falafel here and it was great. It appeared to be toasted on a panini grill however it was delicious. The restaurant decor is nice, and unlike most of the shawarma places on Lawrence Ave., it is spacious, and has good ventilation. The staff are friendly. Under the glass at the counter, there was Nutella and maple syrup, I suppose they serve a dessert with those as toppings, I will have to check those out another time! read more

2 chicken shawermas for $9.99. Chicken was juicy and had good flavour. Fresh veggies. Nice clean place. Good service.

Came around 2:00pm on a weekday and it wasn't busy. Ordered the regular shawarma box. Comes with all the typical fixings shawarma places have to offer. Chicken was very good, tender and juicy, everything else was fresh. Place was very clean too. Will come back again when I'm in the area. Damage was about $10. read more

I had the beef shawarma wrap, and it was fantastic. Everything I expect and hope for in a shawarma, better than most I've had. Wife got the chicken poutine, also amazing. They were super friendly as well. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

This is definitely my favourite go to spot for shawarma. The place is very clean and has nice decor and the staff are extremely nice.

Standard run of your mill shawarma, I would expect this kind of shawarma wrap if a school cafeteria was serving one. The interior has a little more atmosphere than other middle eastern restaurants and seems pretty clean. One plus for the wrap I received was that the shawarma artist mixed all the ingredients up which I really appreciated. Pushed it from a 2 to a 3. Cheers to him read more

Really love this place. Great service and consistent with the food. The shawarma box & falafel box are both great! I just can't understand why the extra charge for a spoon of hummus & tabouli. Literally you get a spoon added to your order. read more

Meat portions are small. Food is average at best. The manager was showing attitude after I asked him to split the order into two transactions... Poor customer service. Much better shawarma places (such as Ruby's that is nearby in the mall) read more

This is my favorite shawarma place in Toronto. The way they cook the meat, making it slightly crispy (at least if you get the top layer before lunch rush) is amazing. Even without that crispy bit it is delicious. The food is so flavorful. Been loving this place for years, figured it was time to review since I signed up on Yelp. They have a nice interior design ad friendly staff. I totally recommend. read more

The Shawarma Boss has great iceberg lettuce. their rice is warm and plentiful. Don't let a lack of tabbouleh, hummus, proper garlic sauce, pita, or meat portion prevent you from ordering the $13 boss box of rice lettuce. On to the poutine... somewhere amongst the lettuce there are some fries, gravy, and a cheese curd or two. You might be able to tell if you ordered meat with it, depending on your eye sight or acute sense of taste. Maybe i'm just bitter about never having experienced good poutine. Or maybe my poutine standards are just too high. Both meals don't really come together texture wise. The portions are out of balance. The place is new and clean and the people running the place were pleasant. read more

too far away for me to get delivery during this time but this place has the best shawarma i've ever had.

My shawarma tasted dry overall and the server never asked me if I wanted any sauce added to mine. My shawarma was not folded properly, it was folded like a quesadilla. It was COLD compared to my boyfriend's shawarma. The selection of toppings are minimal and the tabouleh was an extra 50 cents. I ended up just throwing it out. In addition to my shawarma looking and tasting less than satisfactory, my boyfriend's shawarma was completely disproportionate to mine. His was totally flat and lacked toppings. I don't recommend this place, unless you're into buying cold dry and flat shawarma. $6.17 straight to the trash. Shawarma boss? More like shawarma intern. read more

Waited 25 minutes for my boss shawarma box. During business days, I cannot come back to this place.

This place is horrible! The chicken I had was cold the pita barley toasted and not to mention they charge extra for everything other places give for free smh! And the service girl was super rude as well! Needless to say I won't be returning back to this place for a Shawarma Ibirhams all the way!!! read more

What in the world is going on here. Friday night busy crowd and only 1 worker in entire store. Took forever to get our order and it was burnt because she was trying to do cash and cook. Never washed her hands after touching the money. I feel bad for her she was trying her best but the management is at fault here. She had so many orders she had to complete she wasn't even able to take new orders for over 15 mins; customers were just sitting and waiting for her to be free again. On the plus side the worker was friendly and tried her best to serve you. On to the food, nothing much to rave about, got the Chicken/Beef mixed Boss box and it was mostly salad and lack of meat. It could be she was running out so she made the portion smaller. Not too impress with the meat quality so it was dry and rubbery for the beef. Chicken was decent but they ran out so I only got a few pieces. read more

We decided to give this place another try, 3 weeks later to see if they could improve. My husband initially made a post her that portion sizes were to small and lacked meat protein. I went back yesterday and was happy to see that I had significantly had more food in their box. Food was delicious. I hope it now remains consistent the next time I bring my husband back! read more

I was craving a shawarma plate and figured I would give this spot a chance. Compared to other places in scarborough this spot is just okay.

Got the boss shawarma (2 wraps) and boss shawarma poutine. The two wraps are a good value for money if you and another person aren't ridiculously hungry. Had enough chicken and veges in there to satisfy. Only cost $10 so had no problem with that. Ordered the boss size of the shawarma poutine and while it tasted great, it disappointed since they consistently only fill up to half the height of the box. Felt like I paid an extra ~$2 for a couple more fries. I have no problem with the amount of chicken in the poutine but it annoys me they skimp out on such a cheap ingredient. Boss box really doesn't feel boss. read more

Not sure why the rating so high in my opinion. Went there based off the reviews and I got the shawarma and the shawarma salad regular box or whatever it's called and it was no good. Shawarma was no good and the salad was horrible very salty. Only thing that was good was the chicken and that was also mediocre at best. Only ate the chicken and had to throw out the rest. read more

Really good. Downtown indie feel in Scarborough. Come here once in a while mom and pop operation. So you know the food is good.
