The quality has gone down significantly. I was there a year and a half ago and it was one of the best shwarma's I've ever had. Went today and the food was not fresh, it was cold and there was no flavor. I got 2 beef shwarmas ad well and was given two donairs. The worker didn't seem know his mistake when I came back for a refund. And thought it was the same thing. Seems like the management has changed and so had the quality.

Used to be GREAT? What happened? Oh, new management and the platter I used to order is now considered a "LARGE", so the price is higher. The medium is really small at the old price, which was LARGE. Taste wise the food is good and nicely spiced. I like the platters and the wraps, spicy, flavourful and the vegetation seems to be "freshish". I've been going for years here and venturing out on -20+ nights to treat myself but it's just not the same warm vibe. One guy there now to greet you, cook and take your order. Will I still go? Sure, I'll support them but if the food starts to take more of a dive I'll just go to the restaurant across the street, McDonalds. Nice people that I used to visit with.... where are you?

For years this place was my go to. When in the middle east I would tell everyone that Shawarma Knight was superior and it was. But everything must change and it did here, just not for the better. Quality is not a priority and the value is gone. I don't care but 21 dollars for a Shawarma wrap is just not happening man. Don't love it that much.

I used to love going to this place when I was a kid, it was by far my favourite Shawarma place in town. There a very nice gentleman that was behind the counter, and the wraps were made with care.
I'm unsure when, but the quality has dropped off a cliff. The food was cold, the chicken was not seasoned, and the flavors were bland.
Please try to get back to your roots or won't be visiting anymore

Food was delivered straight to me, but it was cold. That's the second time. The restaurant didn't honor the buy one get one promotion on Uber eats. I won't return.

2025: Had to edit my review. Ordered from them recently and was so disappointed in the quality of food. Everything just taste... bland to put it kindly. I used to recommend this place but no more.
2019: Best place to grab a beef donair platter in downtown! Owner is always so friendly with a smile on his face. The portions are good and always so tasty.

Chicken shawarma has little to no sauce. Beef donair platter was overall okay. The portion is small compared to other establishment, but their donair was overall very good.
Listen I have had a lot shawarma in this and NO WHERE will ever compare to this place. I wanted to try something new and found an absolute gem of a shawarma place. 1000/10 this will be the only place I’m be going to. PLEASE try this place I guarantee you will feel how I feel.

Heart breaking. Appears to be under new management. This WAS the best shawarma in town. Came today for lunch and the vibe was off from the moment we walked in. First sign that something was off, they now offering burgers and fries? Portions are now smaller and meat was burnt, fatty and not seasoned like it normally is. What a shame, been coming here for over 10 years and today will be my last visit.

Very tasty shawarma. I mean a shawarma is a shawarma in most cases, it really just depends on the quality of foods being out in it. And this guy makes a pretty dece shawarma.
