The portion was a little on the small side but I guess not bad for the price. It tasted okay, but not as flavourful as I was expecting. My friends opted for the regular portions at regular price. Their total was a little over $40, with drinks, but they had leftovers to take home. They had the Chicken Shawarma with rice and fries, and the Beef Shawarma with Fries. While waiting for our food, I noticed remnants of past decor hanging from the surrounding walls and ceiling. Really? Overall, the food was just okay and the ambiance was below average. With similar restaurants in nearby proximity, I would think twice before returning.

We had come to this restaurant on a Saturday evening at around 6:30 pm for dinner. When we had…read morearrived, there was a large soccer team there having dinner therefore, it was quite busy. We were able to secure a booth near the side of the restaurant which didn't have any members of the team, which was large enough for the both of us. We then placed our order, which was the chicken kabob meal for my husband, and the butter chicken meal for myself. We then sat down, and waited about 10-12 minutes for the meal to arrive, which was perfect timing considering that there was a large team to serve while we were there. In the butter chicken meal, I was given a large container of butter chicken, along with pita bread, rice, and salad. I was impressed with how well everything tasted, as the chicken was tender, and the rice with the salad was abundant. I couldn't even eat all of the food, as there was too much of it! Overall, this place was definitely top-notch; excellent amount of food choices, great value, and nice service; would definitely come back if I am in the area again, and would highly-recommend to anyone that is looking for an authentic and delicious meal!

There are lots of choices on their menu, including Chicken Shawarma, Gyro, Butter Chicken, Falafel, Halloumi, Jerk Chicken, and more. These are all available as wraps, bowls, salads, or even poutine. With lots of great choices, I settled on their large Gyro Bowl, served on top of rice with my choice of five toppings. The meat was tender and tasted great. Overall, it was a generous serving of deliciousness, filled with lots of flavour, although I would have preferred a tad bit less sauce. The staff were very friendly and provided quick service with a smile. Check them out at 1899 Brock Rd in Pickering.

Both dishes were flavourful and satisfying. Just before ours was being prepared, we saw them preparing a falafel bowl which looked quite good. I might give that one a try next time.

Tip: The chicken shawarma salad was excellent!…read more I have frequented Perkins Restaurant in Pickering a couple of times. To get to it by vehicle, you need to drive by this Shawarma Royale. I've made a mental note to drop by Shawarma Royale. I've been to its Scarborough location years ago. I needed a refresher. I drove around the building and parked fairly close to the entrance. I then walked in. This eatery is spacious. There are lots of places to sit down and enjoy your meal. The tables are generously spaced out. I headed over to the order area. There was a couple in front of me. I looked at the menu to see what I wanted. I saw chicken shawarma salad. Perfect! The woman taking my order was so sweet and nice. She asked me if I wanted any sauces. I went with tahini and garlic sauce. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I got my receipt and joined others waiting for their food. I saw a man slice the chicken shawarma that would comprise my salad. I saw another man putting my salad together. Watching my food being prepared was wonderful. It also made me hungry. My order was ready. The woman asked me whether I was dining in or doing takeout. It was the latter. She put my container of happiness in a clear plastic bag, with a fork and napkins. I thanked her. What's special about this place is that all three staffers said thanks and hoped that I'd enjoy my food. i liked that nice touch. I put my food in an insulated bag and drove home. I then had dinner. The chicken shawarma on my salad was still warm. I loved my meal. The veggies were crisp. This place was generous with the pickles and pickled radishes. I loved how yummy the chicken shawarma was. Each slice was tender. The tahini and garlic sauce brought every ingredient together. I'd get this salad again. I should try a bowl, too. I had a great experience. I'd return for more when I'm in the area. (465)

Updated review May 18 Victoria day…read more I decided to grab some shawarmas after our walk at Frenchman's Bay. When I entered the restaurant there some people dining in and others waiting for their orders. The chicken duo deal $16.99 is an online only deal. The cashier was trying to ring in my order but didn't realize it's an online offer. The food prep staff told me to order online. The online order process is pretty easy to use and you can customize your wrap and bowl. The Queen wrap comes with pickles, garlic sauce and pomegranate molasses. You have the option to choose your own toppings up to 3 choices. The Queen regular bowl has similar toppings and it's served on top of rice. The food was pretty good but I would say the chicken portions left more to be desired. The only downside here is that restaurant was understaffed and I waited about 30 minutes for my order. If the wait wasnt too long I would give them 4 stars.

Bowls are called 'Signature Creations'. With each, you choose a protein along with toppings, sauces and heat level. The bowls and boxes also come with either rice, fries or veggies. The rice are called 'rocks', the fries are called 'stix'. So for example, you can order a beef on the rocks, or chicken on the stix . You can also have both fries and rice, this is called 'half and half'. Boxes are considered full meals that incorporate everything mentioned above, along with a salad. When we arrived, the staff were very friendly, location was clean. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak bowl - half and half, with medium heat and a Coke... it was awesome!!! If you're a vegan, they also have a Philly Beyond Meat option. Definitely going back!

This is a bit of an odd place. It's located at what appears to be the back of a building. Although…read morethere are signs on the sides of the tiny building and on the door, it could easily be mistaken for the service entrance to one of the other two businesses occupying the building. Despite my reservations, I entered and walked into a tiny space that actually had seating for 6-8 diners. The really odd thing about this place, it has no windows! There was a very young fellow taking orders at the cash and two adults who I'm going to assume were his parents. I was the only guest at the time and I was looking over their menu on the wall above the counter, deciding what to order. None of them offered any suggestions and actually didn't say anything unless I asked a question, you know, like "What do you recommend?" Silence. No points for customer service. Noticing the two vertical rotisseries, I ordered the dinner plate to go, which included a choice of beef or chicken shawarma, rice, potatoes, and salad. I chose the large size for 11.99. The medium was 9.99. No price shown for small. It ended up being a lot of food crammed into a styrofoam box. And then he asked me if it was "for here or to go?" It was already in a takeout box! I had no desire to sit and eat in this tiny little closet. Anyway, there really was a lot of food stuffed into the box. The salad was delicious. I'm not sure what all the components were but it tasted really good. The fries had gotten a bit soggy but they were still okay. The rice was tasty and plentiful. I had gotten a combination of beef and chicken shawarma and both tasted good but the serving was a bit small compared to all the sides, making it not so great value for the price. But it did taste good. If the atmosphere and customer service were more inviting, I would probably go back but there are too many other places to consider.
