I was excited to try this shawarma spot, but unfortunately, my experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate, and while the portion looked decent at first glance, the quality just wasn’t there.
The rice was dry and lacked flavour, making it hard to enjoy. The salad was a very small portion, and while they were out of salad dressing, the staff member still poured the last few drops onto my salad instead of topping it up. The woman who took my order seemed quite dazed and unsure — perhaps she was new — but it made the ordering process feel very awkward.
On a more positive note, the woman at the register was friendly and helpful. She let me know about their Wednesday deal, which included a can of pop with the plate — a nice little bonus.
Overall, the flavours were just “meh,” and the experience left me underwhelmed. I wouldn’t rush back.

This is the best Shawarma in Kitchener!

The food is made fresh, the falafels are formed and fried fresh, been going here for years. The owner rocks and the hot sauce is not generic sriracha it has more flavor.
Update: Still killing it here

I have had better tasting shawarma. Probably not going back to this location.

Our first experience of Lancaster Shawarma was a good one.
The Shawarma platter, the Shawarma wrap, the Chicken Samosa and the Poutine were very much enjoyed.
The menu is basic but there's enough choice to please a range of tastes and appetites.
The restaurant is basically a counter with no real space to eat in, so take out it is.

She gifted us baklava and talked nice. Plate could be filled with a bit more meat than rice.

Best shawarma I've had in ages. We got the chicken shawarma plate from here another time a few months ago and it was good but this time was even better. Smart change of takeout packaging too.

I had the butter chicken plate, the rice was okay, the salad I wasn't keen on and the butter chicken was just fine, I felt it needed more flavour and a bit more spice but the chicken itself wasn't bad. I was recommended this place but even they said it went downhill since they went last 4 years ago.

Chicken seems to be old. Less quantity. You can get better shawarma somewhere else with much quantity. Sticky chicken seems suspicious. Not recommended

A hidden gem if you want to try some really good shawarma. They serve the best falafel in town.I tried falafel at multiple restaurants and the big shawarma chains as well, no one can beat the falafel of this place. Always fresh and amazing quantity. Highly recommend.
