I remember trying it (takeout) years ago but this is the first time I came in for dine-in. I love the cozy interiors and aesthetics. Decor is nice especially the booth seatings. Menu has a wide variety of options to choose from, but we opted for the family platter since it seemed like the best option for sharing. Portion was quite generous and a decent amount to share. We got the BBQ chicken ($74.99) which came with either rice or fries (or you could do half/half), salad of your choice (we opted for fattoush), 2 dips of your choice (we chose baba ghanoush & muhammara), 4 fresh pitas & a whole chicken. Restaurant has a lot of parking and seating. Staff were nice but it was a bit of a slow service (had to constantly ask for things, such as cutlery, plates, etc). The washroom had the A/C on blast and it was freezing cold but at least it was clean. Now for the food - everything we had was pretty good. I usually don't like garlic sauce but the one that came with the food was pretty creamy and delicious. As for the baba ghanoush, it didn't taste like it but it still had a nice flavour. The Muhammara was amazing, not overly spicy. As for the fattoush, I found it just OK. I've had better ones elsewhere and I find that it lacked the crispy pita bites, as there was only a few. However, it's worth noting that the chicken took around 30-40 minutes to be ready, which I didn't mind because it came well seasoned and well done. It was not too dry, but not juicy either but seasoned well. The rice was also ok and I like that the food wasn't too greasy, but the plate came with way too many onions... I'd recommend this spot and would come back if I'm ever in the area. Would love to try other dishes on the menu.

    An absolute standout spot! The dishes are fragrant, fresh, and beautifully plated. Loved the…read morechicken mousahab and mixed sharwarma, rice plate. Perfect spot for solo, family dinners or special occasions. The hospitality here is top-tier. Will definitely be back!

    What a wonderful new local business!…read more I want to make this prominent: They make the viral Dubai Kunafa chocolate bars! I had a whole meal first that was fantastic, but if you are wanting to try these chocolate bars, go there now! So creamy and crunchy and delicious! Now, the store is bright and welcoming, spotlessly clean with a small dining area for casual meals. This is not a cozy romantic place, but if you want to try some new things it would make for a fun date night, and certainly a great place to grab a meal with friends or family. The staff are enthusiastic and accommodating, and the owner is very warm and interested in making you happy. We had the smoked meat sandwich and the Jordanian mansaf lamb. The smoked meat was better than what I had a Schwartz's Deli in Montreal; very lean, moisture and flavourful with a creamy mustard sauce. The fries that came with it were feshly made skin-on fries that were perfectly crispy. The mansaf was wonderful too. The meat was so tender, it almost didn't need to be chewed. It was served with minimal sauce on the dish and a side bowl of sauce so you could add just the right amount for your liking. The yogurt sauce had just the right amount of yogurt tang, which balance well with the lamb without being overwhelming. The portion sizes were big. I actually thought I might end up taking home leftovers, but I did manage to eat it all. I did take home an assortment of desserts, including some baklava that had more pistachios in it than I'd ever seen! And the nuts were stuck together with exactly the right amount of honey to hold them together so they didn't fall out when I bit into the pastry. The owner made us some Karak tea to ask our opinion of his recipe. This warmly spiced tea, much like very strong Chai, was a very satisfying end to the meal. Another patron who had had Karak tea before suggested he use a bit less cinnamon to allow the other spices to shine. The owner thanked her for her feedback and said he would adjust his recipe accordingly. This place has only been open for a couple of weeks, so they're just getting the word out that they exist. They are open late, until 11pm each night, and have lots of free parking available. They can do curbside pickup if you wish, and they also do catering for events of any size. Please do visit this lovely place and welcome them to the neighbourhood!

After walking inside you get the same cozy feeling and the smells just warm your soul up. They put so much dedication from the way they speak with you to the quality of the food, I was really satisfied. I didn't know this but you actually get $5 off your first order of $25 or more if you order online through their website shawermaplus.com - love supporting local! Since I was really craving mediterranean I decided to go all out and order. First, there was so much variety on the menu that there wasn't anything I couldn't order. Shawerma Plus has some of the best value meals so I decided to order the Saj Super Family Tray, Chicken Shawerma Poutine, and Baqlawah for dessert. My Saj Super Family Tray came out so crispy and flavorful - seriously filled with so much umami. I love how the poutine uses their own sauce and it really made for a unique combo. To finish, the baqlawah was the perfect finish with the sweet drizzle. For a Mediterranean craving, I will definitely be back. Thank you for all that you do!

    Holy moly! I don't know where to start…read more First things first, 8:30 is too early for you to have the chicken off the spits. Shawarma is late night food. You should be rocking that spit until the last minute. Second things second, if you pull the chicken out of a Tupperware container and throw it on a flat top, you're destroying any caramelization that you got from the rotisserie. It also points to the business models origin. Pita pit. Next if you have a giant sign on your wall that says "authentic Syrian cuisine" you can't be using the pita pit business model. Additionally, tomatoes shouldn't be green. Pickled turnip shouldn't be dry and brown. Ice burg lettuce shouldn't be floppy and old. The pickles were too salty, but that's nitpicking. To top it all off they got my order wrong. I ordered a plate and a wrap. I only got a plate. Ok, I can understand that mistake, but if you thought we were sharing a plate you should give us an empty plate to allow sharing. The guys behind the line were too stunted to understand what I was on about, so I just grabbed a plate for myself. Dirty. Greasy. Whatever, I was only using it to keep their table clean from pita drop off. What you call garlic sauce I call mayonnaise, by the way. There's a much better much cheaper shawarma place just up the road called Pita Hut. Go there. Don't go here.
