Very good food
Keep the work gys
It was amazing experience
Best shawarma in Montréal
28 December 2023 21:52
Worst food ever
Basmati rice? Spicy potatoes? The meat is so dry. Basha or boustan is way better
07 November 2023 12:35
I went in the other day to order as I had it many times in the past. Unfortunately as I was about to order I see a cockroach on top of shawarma wall. They need a food inspector asap.
06 November 2023 23:12
The food is good better than all food tastes of montreal so far.but they need to make the place cleaner not only focus on bringing more customers but to give them à good experience
01 November 2023 4:03
It was good experience, friendly staff, good quality food. Clean and organized place recommended.
04 October 2023 14:07
Le shawarma est delicieux et frais et le staff offre un tres bon service je recommande a tout le monde
22 September 2023 20:47
Super bon)
Malheureusement, les plats sont servis dans des contenants et couvercles en plastique à usage unique qu'on utilise rarement plus de 5 minutes!: - (
Ils offrent toutefois la boisson en fontaine.

The best poutine in Montreal. Those garlic potatoes are on another level. Staff are great at what they do, and I will be returning again soon.

Something was in that chicken shawarma that made me so sick. I went on July 16th, and was sick for 2 days after.

The place is usually good. I don't know what happened this time. It was probably the chicken tbh, by how sick I got.

Stay safe

We tried their Chicken Shawarmaz. Taste was okay, but customer service was horrible. No smile. Long lines. If you ask a question.they get angry.
22 January 2022 4:52
Very rude and arrogant lebanese cashier: the tone, the yelling, rolling eyes. Humble yourself or go get another job. Not welcoming at all
22 January 2022 2:17
This poutine magic is magical! Boustan nor Amir cannot compete! Even if it’s 9 am or 5pm! It’s all I can think about! I’m getting broke just from ordering so much but I MOST SUPPORT THE BEST ARAB-LEBANESE-TAKE OUT EVER!
01 January 2022 17:44
They have great variety of salads and magic poutine. Last time i came here the staff behind the counter was too friendly and polite.
31 December 2021 22:43
I tried alot of shawarma but honestly this is best.
Highly recommended to come and enjoy food.
14 December 2021 13:26
Got the Large Salad Plate - you have a choice of 4 of 5 salads they offer: Fattouche, Tabouleh, Coleslaw, Beets and a Pasta Salad. All the salads are well seasoned and taste good. I find that the beef is usually fresher and tastes better than the chicken.

Service is quick and efficient.

Very reasonable portion of the price.
09 December 2021 20:18
Amazing food. Very efficient and welcoming staff. Tabouleh was the best Ive had in a while. Their beef was so tender and juicy. Hit the spot tbh. Keep up the great work!
01 December 2021 19:18
I like how the people keep coming to this place, the taste of shawarma is delicious, i recommended badly to visit the place.
17 November 2021 11:54
Je mets 4 étoiles juste parce qu'il manque un peu de propreté mais en revanche la poutine magic est délicieuse ainsi que leur shawarma service efficace je le recommande sans hésiter
16 November 2021 9:57
The got the trio - a chicken shawarma, potatoes and a soda.
The shawarma was okay nothing great. The potatoes were a disappointment.

I recommend the bomb shawarma. My friend ordered that, it looked and tasted amazing.

The place is reasonable, so as a student I'll go back anytime for a filling meal.
14 November 2021 6:32
Was visiting MTL for 7 days. We had shawarmaz 5 times during my visit. Everytime it was perfect and amazing with every bite. Fast service. And always amazing.
13 November 2021 15:14
Great food for a good price. If you order the magic poutine you will need to go to the washroom afterwards
10 November 2021 6:48
Bons shawarmas, je vous conseille fortement la sauce à la pomme grenade, très savoureuse! Seul chose à améliorer: le décor et la propreté de l'endroit, ce n'est pas très invitant.
29 October 2021 7:05
Best Poutine ever, the taste is Amazing
Some of the staff is not friendly and gets irritated if you ask something.

I am still giving 5 stars, owners should work on the customer service now as they dont have to work on taste as its already amazing.
23 October 2021 16:39
Really nice of shwarmaz for giving out free food for their brand new menu, in my opinion the taste was a bid blend and needs a tweak this recipe.
17 October 2021 6:24
Great menu, alsoo great staff, each and every thing is on Time. Also great Price list thankyou so much guys
15 October 2021 15:57
Horrible customer service. Asked for falafel sandwiches, they said it would take 5 min. Waited 25 min and then when I asked why did it take so long I was yelled back at. I do not expect to be yelled at when I am just asking why my sandwich is 20 min late.
Would give 0 stars, probably the worst experience I have had in a middle Eastern restaurant ever.
11 October 2021 21:39
Our family went for a quick dinner. This was one of the best shawarmas I had. The guys serving are amazing and friendly. The portions are more than enough amd prices are very reasonable.
I will be back to this place if I'm coming to downtown for a delicious shawarma and Poutine.
11 October 2021 2:00
Ahhhh Shawarmaz. Là où se trouve à mon avis l'une des meilleure poutine au Canada.

J'ai facilement commandés 60+ poutines depuis Janvier cette année. Elle est extrêmement addictive (et très calorique?) mais le mélange de saveurs avec les patates à l'ail en vaut vraiment la peine.

Les Shawarma sont aussi vraiment délicieux.:)

J'ai découvert l'endroit en 2018 et c'est facilement un de mes restos préférés à Montréal.
04 October 2021 14:14
Good shawarma. Nothing exceptional but not bad either. I would visit again if I visit Montreal.
04 October 2021 3:50
Great service and good portions! Consistent with other reviews - good poutine with garlic fries (more like hash browns) and great platters. Meat was a little dry but all the veggies were fresh and good sauces (garlic, hummus) Will be back next time we are in Montreal!
15 September 2021 14:09
Both chicken and beef shawarmaz are the best and no one compared to it in the town. Highly recommended
13 September 2021 20:36
J'avais l'habitude de me rendre à ce restaurant quatre ou cinq fois par année, puisqu'ils sont situés à deux minutes de mon bureau. Par contre, je trouve que la qualité varie d'une fois à l'autre et que c'est un endroit un peu crasseux. Les gens derrière le comptoir sont dépourvus de courtoisie. Cela reflète sans doute l'administration en place.
06 September 2021 4:14
Definitely a winning shawarma. Bustling with customers for good reason. The potatoes that come with the trio are fire. A lot of shawarma places in Montreal. Not sure I can compare them but I’d head back to this place in a heartbeat.
14 August 2021 2:51
I wanted to like this place. Based on the reviews, I was expecting the shawarma to be mind-blowing. Unfortunately it was dry and bland. Also why is a different type of bread used for a small v.large shawarma? It doesn’t make much sense to me.
31 July 2021 10:42
Loved the Garlic potatoe poutine. Extremely fresh and crispy. I admire the garnishing with celantro and sesame seed. The Gravy is also really exceptional quality and very unique. Customer service is very friendly considering the location and rush. The efficiency, and attention to detail was noticed right away. The Only improvement I would make is the price, since 13.99 for a large poutine is kind of expensive. Other than this, I would come visit again
26 July 2021 22:14
Vous avez définitivement une des meilleures poutines à Montréal. Please stay open until I return to Canada!
25 July 2021 6:02
Food is really good. The portions a bit small but close to st. Catherines Street and open late. Had the mix platter.
28 June 2021 19:11
Very good fast food, great portions, quick and easy service. The pita and poutine was so tasty! If you're nearby I recommend!
19 September 2019 17:04
Always a good place to survive when you are in a hurry, the menu of the day for 9cad medium or 12cad big, it is a lot and good taste for the price.
13 September 2019 8:49
Super nice Place, Best Food ever, And they have Very freindly stuff Working With efficiency and speed. I highly recommended
27 August 2019 8:52
Most authentic Shawarma I have had in Canada till this day! Absolutely recommend that you get the shawarma the way arabs eat it, chicken, garlic sauce and the cucumber pickles only, get a side of pomegranate molasses and Indulge! Kudoos to the owners for maintaining that authentic taste and amazing service
25 August 2019 15:23
Loved the taste. It is different. Service is good. Location is very nice. Definitely would go to eat it again whenever in Montreal.
19 August 2019 20:24
Went there today, I read in some reviews that their portion size was massive and yes indeed it is. Service was fast as it wasn’t that busy around or under 5 mins. Food was good salad was great ordered a Mix plate and a Pita sandwich both were very good and served in time. Taste wise I would say its nothing different than what you will get at Basha or Amir’s it all taste the same. Ambience can be improved some room for cleanliness. Restrooms were in a reasonable state. Can’t complain for the price. Good Attentive staff. Over all nice happy experience.
14 August 2019 8:22
I can’t visit Montreal without stopping by Shawarmaz
It’s one of the best shawarma makers in Canada.
Real authentic, tasty, and affordable.
Mix shawarma plate is my favorite, and I love their Poutine with chicken or beef.
Portions are good enough.
Place is cool and located in downtown, all the staff are nice and friendly.
I highly recommend.
10 August 2019 3:42
Honestly, very disappointed. I called yesterday afternoon to ask how does it work for a big order. The gentleman on the phone told me no problem please come to the restaurant to place the order. The next day, i arrive to the place and the man serving refuses to take my order. I asked why and he said rush hour. I said I called the day before to ask and this is what I was told. He told me to wait till his rush hour is over to place my order. Absolutely not! No customer service whatsoever. Lets say, I were to order 3 sandwiches for myself.you would deny and refuse my order because I am 1 person standing in? Ridiculous. Worst customer service. The lady working at subway was nice enough to try and fix the issue and offer a platter from them. I kindly refused as the order was meant for Shawarmaz.
07 August 2019 23:25
I come from Ottawa where there is a shawarma shop on ever corner. I usually evaluate the quality based on:
1. Freshness of meat: is the burner hot and orange? Do the chefs give you old, cold and crusty meat or is it juicy and fresh? Shawarmaz is super fresh.
2. Large shawarma under $10. Yes
3. Good garlic sauce and fresh veggies. Yes
4. Service is quick. Yes

Shawarmaz meets all the basic criteria for a good shawarma but surpasses everyone else with a few other things they generously add:

1. Pomegranate sauce. Delicious, a bit tart and sweet. Amazing. Not offered anywhere else I’ve been to;
2. Homemade pita for the large option: soft and super fresh, gets super crispy on the grill. Much better than regular standard pita at everywhere else;
3. Parsley on the pita. Not many places offer this. Definitely adds to the flavour;
4. Perfectly wrapped with a wrapper that describes the type of meat. It was wrapped in such a way that it didn’t drip from the bottom (an incredible feat of engineering) and I was able to pull down the wrapper as I ate so I didn’t have to touch the sandwich with my hands. I was able to eat the entire sandwich while walking and there was no mess and everything held together.

Shawarmaz is the best pita I’ve ever had. I imagine maybe somewhere in the Middle East there might be a better shawarma but this is the best shawarma I’ve had in Canada
28 July 2019 1:20
Amazing Chicken Shawarma, amazing with everything added and Tahini sauce. Been here 2nd year in row, definitely recommend to anyone in the area who doesn't want to super heavy meal, yet still remaning satisfying.
24 July 2019 10:16
Definitely recommended! I don’t give 5 stars unless they are really good. Portion size is very good and fulfilling- price is also very good. This must be the best shawarma place in Montreal. Many other places make you pay for less! 5 stars to shawarmaz!
21 July 2019 1:37
Super fast and nice staff. The chicken sandwich is so good. The shawarma bread is unique, fresh and crispy. Good option if you’re in a hurry.
19 July 2019 1:14
Extremely tasty, late night service, good location in down town,
Good variety of shawarma and dressings, highly recommended
18 July 2019 10:58
One of our favourite places for good shawarma in Montreal! I would advise against taking anything not shawarma related (we tried the mixed grillades which was very disappointing, low quality of meat and a tiny portion for the price paid!) however, the magic poutine is truly magical! We get the large mixed shawarma magic poutine to share and it is probably enough for 3-4 people or as a meal for 1-2! Delicious fried garlic potatoes, juicy shawarma, lots of cheese and sauce and topped with their special sauce and toppings! Highly recommend
16 July 2019 22:48
Really nice place to eat and i like all menu they have there wraps and salad are delicious i want to try everything there, they are super busy
10 July 2019 23:37
Temps d'attente inimaginable, la nourriture ce n'est rien que Shawarma que vous pouvez manger partout. Personnel jamais organisé (ce qui justifie l'attente).
Continuez vôtre chemin si vous aimez les endroits calme.
27 June 2019 8:30
Best meat chicken rice and overall lebanses food in all mtl.

Place is packed with people 24/7 which indicates its popularity and excellent food.

The poutine is just amazing.

It is pricey for fast food (between 15 to 20$ for one meal) but worth the try.
21 June 2019 14:54
Great place for shawarma and plates. Went there Sunday June 2 2019. From Toronto. Great location and clean place. If you ever visit Montreal, male sure to go this place for sure. It's something different than your regular shawarma place. I found this place by mistake late at night lol. But I definitely recommend this.
18 June 2019 5:37
I have made an order and i have been waiting two hours and the driver still didn't arrive. Delivery and customer service are so bad. They do not respect the client time.
11 May 2019 7:01
The Shawarma they serve are decent and all staff is very friendly. Best part is that it's open late nights so perfect place to grab a bite in downtown specially late at night, spacious and clean.
08 May 2019 2:23
Ordered through Uber eats came in a nice seal tight container. With rice, chicken, potatoes and salad I wasn’t even able to finish it.really good and definitely recommend.
08 May 2019 0:10
I've been here solely for their magic poutine and it has not disappointed me so far. The only thing is that the overall quality is very dependent on how fresh their potatoes are, but regardless it is still enjoyable!
22 April 2019 1:02
A great place for libanese food.
The restaurant is shared with Subway, and the place is not so clean. The service may be slow, but overall it's a good place to eat if you are hungry or fond of this type of cuisine.
21 April 2019 19:34
This place is awesome! The portions are HUGE. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate. Came with rice, roasted potatoes, choice of salad, hummus and garlic sauce. The food was not greasy at all and very flavorful and fresh. It was my first time there and I wasn’t really sure which salad to get but the guy that took my order was super nice and patient. I also asked for extra garlic sauce and he happily gave me another scoop. I finished the whole plate but that was because I had a late lunch and didn’t eat much earlier in the day. I was pretty full afterwards. The food was probably enough to feed 2 people. If I lived or worked around here I would be a frequent customer. It’s been several days and I still think about how much I enjoyed my meal here. Wish they had a store where I lived.
07 April 2019 10:14
Great spot to grab a quick bite. Meat is juicy and shawarma wrap got the right amount of spice in it. Customer service is great, place is not very clean. Place is shared with subway. They got no seating of their own but you can use subways.
Food: ***
Customer Service: ****
Ambience: ***
