Chicken shawarma was pretty good. The meat was quite tasty & there was a good amount of it. The sauces were decent. The kubbah was hot, crispy & tasty. There was a lot of minced meat inside & the slight sourness offset the savory taste well. The grape leaves were decent. The rice inside was a bit mushed up but they were well wrapped & the leaves were firm.

Shawarma is not photogenic.

So "Aurora" and "Shawarma" aren't really the two words you frequently hear in the same sentence. When I was in the area, my intention was to try one fo the great Italian or Persian restaraunts. However, the largely positive reviews and personal recomendations persuaded me to give Shawarma Land a try. I am glad I did. On a saturday afternoon, the restraunt was busy, which is a good sign. There was a small lineup which lasted about 5 minutes. Most patrons were served quickly and took their orders to go. The guys behind the counter were efficient, friendly and respectful. When I try a shawarma spot for the first time, I usually order a fully loaded plate with as much variety as possible. That way, I know exactly what to order if/when I return. With that in mind, I ordered a shawarma plate with both chicken and beef. For the sdies, I ordered rice, potatoes, humus, coleslaw and turnips. I also asked for garlic sauce, tahini and hot sause. The order comes with a grocery store pita. After a very enjoyable meal, I still don't know whether I prefer beef or chicken. Both were tender, juicy and properly seasoned. The meat wasn't too chewy or too dry. I also don't know whether I prefer rice or potatoes. I was expecting the potatoes to be starchy and flavourless, but got a nice smoky flavour instead. The rice was also very good, though it doesn't really have a distinct flavour to write about (nor should it). The humus (served in extremely generous quantities) was bland. I would not order it on its own. However, it was really tasty when mixed with the shawarma meat. The coleslaw was surprisingly good. It was not overly sour or mushy. The turnips were a little salty for my liking and are the only item I wouldn't ask for again. The portions are generous. However, the proportions between the sides could be a lot better. I felt like there was too much rice and humus and not enough of everything else. My plate had only a bit of the veggies and several slices of potato. By the end of my meal, I was left with a bunch of rice and humus on my plate (which don't really go well on their own). A meal like this is best served with a bottle of Ayran (a yogurt drink) which is pretty common at middle-eastern restraraunts. Perhaps the management team at Shawarma Land should offer it as well.

Been craving shawarma and decided to finally check this place out after yelping our new neighbourhood. It's a nice, clean space with plenty of seating. We ordered the chicken and beef mixed shawarma plate (though I don't think it was on the menu). I felt the sauces were a bit thinner than my liking and the beef was a bit dry and tougher that I usually have. Overall though it was still delicious and I would go back if I'm ever craving shawarma in the area!

Yikes. I expected better. I was in Aurora a few nights ago and was looking for a quick fix so naturally, I went on Yelp to find a good recommendation. My all time favourite quick fix meal is shawarma so I found myself here. At the time I arrived, there were a little under 10 people in the shop so it seemed that business was doing well. I ordered a standard chicken shawarma wrap and to my disappointment, it was cold. I'm not sure if it was because it was a busier night and the staff were rushing, but they hadn't warmed the wrap for long enough and the pita was actually cold. Not even room temperature - it was fridge-level cold. The chicken and toppings were also a disappointment. The chicken wasn't seasoned well nor roasted enough so it was bland tasting and the toppings weren't fresh. The turnips were soggy and falling apart. Overall, my order was a sad, cold, soggy, tasteless wrap. I don't see myself back in Aurora anytime soon but I'm sad this meal will be my one impression of it.

This is my first trip to Shawarma Land. These guys are fast. Fresh food ready fast. I always enjoy watching a well oiled machine. The guys are organized and the service is fast and friendly. The place is modern, and the food tastes good. I had the hummus and chicken shawarma. It was a very generous portion of food, and the pricing was fair. I need to be careful and eat gluten free, so they were able to pull out a fresh tub of hummus for me and the shawarma was freshly cut. If you are celiac or have a serious allergy, avoid everything in the fryer and notice that anything server from the service area can be risky. I got mine fresh. They seem to do a very brisk business and the place is very busy. Typically a sign of a good restaurant.

Their menu board! Lots of choose from  !

If this was a food challenge...sharwarma vs. me! The insane amount of food got me pulling the white flag instantly !! We came in very hungry on a Saturday lunch, the place was somewhat busy. There were two staffs working and they were both very friendly and efficient with the service !! I liked the choices on the menu from burritos to platters and various meats including chicken sharwarma/kebob and beef. Ultimately, I wanted try their chicken sharwarma plate ($13.71)- it comes with a mountain full of chicken , potatoes, rice, salad, pita and hummus. Being very hungry stepping in the store, I thought I had no problem finishing up this plate. Oh boy... I was soooo wrong....Just the pita and hummus already got me packing home. I barely made 1/4 of my food...!! Honestly , you need TWO people to finish this. Sharing is caring...sometimes.... :) They should put up as a food challenge. No way...anybody can finish this by himself/herself in one sitting? Don't believe me ? Go try it...and let me know. The chicken sharwarma plate had surpass my expectations, not only was my tummy stuffed but the flavour of the food was spot on. The salad was a nice contrast with all the meat and sauce it had. I just wished there was a little more salad ! If I'm ever around the area ( way too far from my usual hangout area!!!), I would love to come back and have another battle!!

Chicken Shawarma Plate ($13.30) comes with a pita as well
