    Mixed meat platter on too and bottom is the magique Poutine.
    Katya P.

    I've heard a lot of good things about this location downtown, the food always looks appetizing and the pictures posted on social media are stunnning. If you are looking for lebanese style fast food, in the likes of Amir or Boustan, Shawarmaz will deliver a similar experience but with a bit more funk. They have awesome poutine creations, "sushi" style wraps and large portions of food, presented beautifully on modern plates if you are dining in. We opted for a magique poutine and mixed meat platter, served with your choice of sides. The salads were fresh and flavorful, the meats were tasty and the sesame sauce was delicious. However, for basics like garlic potatoes or garlic sauce, these were underwhelming in flavor. Just not seasoned enough and rather bland. The problem with these kinds of counters is that you never know how fresh the food is. While my poutine was being made, I saw an employee dump a fresh batch of potatoes into the serving area, so whoever was right behind me probably got much better tasting potatoes than my share. The food is prepared infront of you, just like at Amir/Boustan/Subway so at least before ordering you can get a feel of whether it looks appetizing or not. Not sure Shawarmaz won me over their competition, however it's a tasty option and worth trying if you are in the area. It is conveniently located in the same parking lot as Adonis and other small restaurants.

    I am so glad they are finally in Laval and even better a very short time walk from home. Say hello to the best late night food ever. Had a chicken pita and a magic poutine last night and it was heaven. So fresh and very tasty but to be honest I wasn't expecting less from these guys. The place is new, very clean and well decorated. Very open ans still cozy at the same time if you decide to eat there. The very was fairly quick and they guys working there where super friendly. Very happy all around that I no longer have to go to MTL again because another one of my favourite is right here in town. Will be going often so I can try a few more things on the menu!

    Being always on the run makes it hard to eat healthy. I prefer these types of restaurants over burger joints. They are located across from Adonis in Laval. Clean modern dining area. They offer the traditional options of chicken or beef on a spit. The options of toppings on the pita with meat were fresh and abondant. They have two pita size options which is cool. It was good and on my route.

    Poutine magique with chicken and beef

    I first heard of this place when I saw their poutine submission for Poutine Week a few years back, when fellow yelpers posted about their new Laval location, it was time to give it a try. I love how they give a fresh take to your typical Lebanese fast food. It really sets this chain apart from the typical Amir's and Basha's. We visited on a Sunday evening at 8 and the place was surprisingly packed. Although the line up was long, it moved along very well so bonus points for that. We tried the combo poutine magique and the beef and chicken sushi shawarma. Both were delicious, and the visual presentation was great as well (explains why my husband got to the food before I could even get a pic). Looking forward to trying some of their other options but this place will no doubt become a regular food option for us!

    The special poutine was one of a kind. Took the small portion (They have a small and a large one) and it was more than enough. It's a new good twist on the good old poutine. It tasted great and it's about 30$ for 2 "small" ones with 1 drink on the side. Really good and a must try's in Laval.

    So disappointed to be writing this review because I was really looking forward to trying a new shawarma especially so close to home. Me and my girl have this tradition of either going out or in recent times ordering in on Friday night and we decided tonight was the night to try something new. We made up our minds fairly late and we're happy to see that Shawarmaz was open late and available for delivery. We were excited to see that there was options that were also on the healthier side. Shawarmaz offers a salad plate which means you get that yummy chicken or meat without the guilt of the rice and potatoes we also saw there was the option to get a large size and thought we deafly be filled eating all that. Of course we also had to get a side of falafel's to see how they did them here and a small side of potatoes too. After patiently waiting For our delivery driver to drop off the food we opened up our bags and saw two massive plates of the chicken salad and our falafel's I was disappointed to see that the potatoes were missing but honestly it happens so we weren't too worried and we're ready to dig into our salads. My girlfriend doesn't particularly enjoy tomatoes so as we open up our plates she usually does she digs out the tomatoes from the dish and handsome over to me. While doing this she picked up what she thought was a piece of tomato and quickly realized it was a chunk of completely raw chicken. This was so disappointing because from the couple of bites that we did have a Food seemed great however once finding this in our Food our appetites quickly perished. We are hoping that this was a one off time for the restaurant and perhaps will be able to try more food from here but for the moment we're having a hard time. Hopefully if you do eat here you have a better experience and I'll be reading your review to see what you have to say.

    Tried this place for the first time. I finally know why it's always so busy. The crew was super nice. They seem to have a lot of fun working together. The poutine, a must-try! Get a small size, the large one is way too much for one person. LOL

Ok so came to this place on the weekend for brunch. Generally speaking the food is pretty good. The soujouk khachapouri was really good. They cook it more than most, but I actually liked that. I wish they didn't pre-cut it bc that doesn't photograph well, but I guess it makes it easier to eat so that's a win. I also tried the manti, which I really enjoyed! Cooked well, they give a decent portion, and the sauce is well flavored. But none of this matters because what you really need is that knafa french toast. It's like a sugary bomb dropped from heaven. It's delicious and overwhelming at the same time. Note this is NOT a one person dish... you gotta share it if you don't want to go into immediate diabetic shock. The flavors of the knafa french toast were so good... the rosewater syrup and the pistachio sauce mix so well with the melting cheese. It's just amazing. I will say after I finished this I had to go home and take a nap... but I wouldn't change it for the world. Cannot recommend this enough! There were definitely more things on the menu I'd want to try, but the knafa French toast is what will ensure I go back. Stay Cheerful ;)

    Rouby provides some authentic Lebanese/Armenian styled cuisine. The menu is quite big with a huge…read morevariety of hot and cold mezzes (tapas) as well as a variety of cooked meats to yourself indulge in. The menu is ideally suited to be shared in a friend or family setting. My extended family knows of this place quite well over the years as they've all been here in past events for birthdays/weddings or special dinners at some point in their lives. My recent visit is nothing so exciting however and I brought some work colleagues with me to introduce them to this type of cuisine. Here's my opinion on the plates that we shared: Hummus : Excellent! (5 stars). This menu item tends to be prepared so differently in a variety of cuisines but the Armenian way... is the best way! :) Fattouch : Fantastic!!! (5+ stars). My favorite salad without a doubt and Rouby does it justice. The salad ingredients are fresh, the fried pita pieces crunchy (freshly prepped) and the dressing makes this dish really come together. Truly spectacular. Soujouk : Decent 3/5. Soujouk (or sujuk depending where you're from) is a dry, spicy sausage that I swear is always prepped different at every single restaurant that services it. Unfortunately, I wasn't overly fond with the version provided here, a bit too dry for my taste and the portion less than expected. Meat Plate : Good (3/5). We took a family plate which consisted of 1 stick of kafta, shish-taouk and filet mignon. The meats were good, I was especially fond of the filet mignon. The plate comes with a selection of salad or fries/rice. Service is friendly albeit a little standoffish. Good was prepared quickly and efficiently. The establishment is clean and well presented, our banquet table was comfortable. Overall the food is good, with some of my particular tastes showing clear bias in my opinion of them, some of the mezze plates are not as generous as they should be and this went in particular for the Soujouk which didn't fill out a full plate. I also regularly find plates of meat at Lebanese restaurants being quite overpriced. The meat plate which was close to $25 only held 3 sticks of meat and anyone knows we could get these at Adonis for about $2 to $3 dollars each. I would hope to see more generous portions in the meat plates but alas that challenges seems to be seen everywhere. Conclusion? Worthy of a taste, try it out and enjoy this cuisine.
