About Original Shawarma

Original Shawarma offers delicious food, with standout dishes like Shawarma Rice, Mandy, Chicken Shawarma, and Chicken Kabob Platter. The family platter is generously sized and excellent value. Service is satisfactory, but could improve by ensuring all needed items are served proactively. The atmosphere is pleasant, although cleanliness and table arrangements could be enhanced. Despite being consistently busy, the food quality remains consistently high. Free parking is available for all stores. Customers often praise the restaurant for its authentic taste, especially the shawarma, which reminds many of Middle Eastern flavors. The restaurant is self-service, and the environment can be improved in terms of ambience. Portions are generous, and both lamb and chicken shawarmas are tender and tasty, offered in wraps or platters with garlic sauce, rice, and fries. The restaurant is very clean, and the kitchen appears well-maintained. A complimentary kettle of lentil soup adds to the experience, described as flavorful, spicy, and warming. Overall, it is highly recommended for its fresh, non-greasy flavors, and most visitors look forward to returning.

Recently, customers have praised the amazing service by the staff, noting the food was really good and served quickly, creating a great vibe for those wanting a quick meal or a sit-down with friends. Their chicken and rice is considered the best comfort food, often served with nuts and raisins, which go well with many dishes—though not with shawarma wraps, which some say would be a crime. The lamb mandi is described as melt-in-mouth tender. Many wish there was a store nearby, as it is far from some locations. It is also recognized as one of the top shawarma places in the GTA, with flavors similar to those back home, and extra garlic sauce is provided for free. Customers recommend asking for Shami style for an authentic taste. The falafel is also highly recommended, but most visit primarily for the shawarma.
