Fast service, delicious food!! You have to try their shawarma! I will totally go back to this place

An absolutely wonderful restaurant hidden in a shopping plaza. The food is exquisite, and the owners make you feel at home. Taste the best of the best in Middle Eastern cuisine, and do not be fooled by the Shawarma in the restaurant's name as there are many choices to enjoy! 10 out o read more

The best Shawarma place by far. I've never gotten better food and service anywhere else!! The place is always clean and has gotten nicer decor the longer they have been in the area. Absolutely recommend 10/10 food. read more

Clean and good. Love everything. Authentic flavour. Food is fresh. Quite a place to eat in Kingston

Stopped in for a quick lunch. The decor was a little sparse. Waited in line as they had a little rush. Many options of wraps or platters. The Shawarma was tasty and the platter comes with many goodies, rice potatoes, salad, parsley, pita, etc. What made me uncomfortable was that they use their hands a lot. They do wear gloves but still a little too handsy. Maybe I'm too picky. Enjoy read more

This place is fantastic! I highly recommend it! Popped in here over the long weekend. I'm not sure when it opened but I think it's fairly new for the Kingston area. It's tucked away, nearly hidden between Bench and Magnotta, in the back of King's Crossing Outlet plaza. They have some small tables when you first enter. It's a tall, spacious and open feeling interior. Super friendly and polite service. We ordered the chicken shawarma plate (L), kafta kebab plate (L) and a poutine (S). All platters come with rice, potatoes, garden salad, garlic sauce, hummus and a pita. They said the pitas come in from Ottawa everyday and that they make all their own sauces. They give HUGE and generous portions! The chicken shawarma plate was really delicious. The chicken was well done, very flavourful and moist. Their turnips and pickles were super yummy. They tasted like they were also homemade too. The salad ingredients were all really fresh. The rice pilaf was superb. Well cooked and really well seasoned! The only thing I hope they improve is their potatoes. They weren't seasoned and a bit undercooked. They were still a good delivery vehicle for their sauces though. Their homemade garlic sauce is excellent! The kind where after you've eaten it, everyone in a 3 meter vicinity needs to know it! Their sauce really packs a punch. It has great texture and flavour. We ended up buying some to bring home. They also give you homemade garlic dressing sauce and homemade hummus. Both were tasty! The kafta kebab was good too! Well seasoned but with a slightly gamey taste. It was mildly dry/lacking moisture in comparison to other places we've had it at. Still enjoyable though! The poutine was also a good sized portion. You get a choice between fries or diced potatoes. We chose fries. The fries were a bit undercooked like the potatoes from our plates. The gravy lacked some flavour but the cheese curds he used were really fresh. Really great service, the guys are so nice there. He accidentally forgot to give us our pita and was so apologetic. He also gave us an extra pita for this mistake, which was appreciated! Overall, I really enjoyed the shawarma. Great portions and delicious food! I highly recommend this place! read more

It's been a long time since I had chicken shawarma and tonight's dinner fulfilled the tastes of my dear friend. She would make shawarma, hummus, garlic sauce at home. Never before had i experienced middle eastern flavour. The delicate spices, family recipes, stories about harvesting the family olive tree. The food at shawarma Damascus excels. Please try the fried cauliflower. I am so happy to witness their success. I will be a loyal customer. Shokran. read more

Shawarma Damascus - Mediterranean Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

Shawarma Damascus is the best shawarma in Kingston, even beating out its predecessor / sister restaurant Shawarma El Mina. Don't try to come here right after 5pm - it's just PACKED with people getting giant family platters. But come any other time and split a Large plate with a fellow food warrior; the portions are enormous. Amazing, fresh, delicious food, served up super fast any time there isn't a line out the door. This place is a must for us any time we're in the area, and a tots hidden gem! read more

Excellent food and great service! Ordered the Family Meal for Four. Came with chicken, beef, rice, spicy potatoes, various pickles, salad, pitas, and various sauces and spreads. Everyone including my kids devoured their meals and we brought lots of leaf overs home with us. Portions were very generous. Next time we are in Kingston, we will visit this restaurant again! read more

The shawerma plate is really delicious but it is really really big, so 2 can share in it. Also the sandwiches are good and the service is amazing. read more

Amazing!! Huge portions, fantastic flavours, everything is super fresh. The service was extremely friendly (but not obnoxious) and they patiently answered a bunch of questions we had. I had the falafel platter. Went in their super hungry and was only able to get through about a third of my food. I was able to get two more meals from the leftovers! Definitely terrific value for money, super yummy!! read more

This place is outstanding! We happened on it by chance while travelling along the 401 en route to Ottawa. Delicious food, massive portions, friendly staff. Our seven-year-old said 'This is WAY better than hamburgers!' Skip the big fastfood chains and come here. It is our new go-to. We ordered a large chicken shawarma plate and it came with salad, potatoes and fed our family of four. We will be back! read more
