Middle Eastern Restaurants in Scarborough, ON

“Delicious Middle Eastern restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere“

“This place has excellent quality food and friendly service. I ordered the chicken breast kebab dinner. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, juicy and tasty! The naan bread is soft and fluffy. In fact, I can eat it by itself. The Greek salad is so fresh and I love the dressing. I like their Greek salad better than those at Greek restaurants. Overall, I am just happy to have a quality restaurant near my home where I can go to get quality food anytime.“

“5/5 – THE UNDISPUTED SHAWARMA CHAMPION OF SCARBOROUGH ⭐

I’ve eaten shawarma from Toronto to the Middle East — but Shawarma & Fries in Scarborough is on another level entirely. This place doesn’t just serve food — they serve an experience.

Let’s start with the fries: golden, crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside. Seasoned to perfection. These aren’t just fries — they’re a masterpiece. You taste them once, and you're hooked for life.

Then comes the shawarma — beef and chicken both absolutely next-level. Juicy, tender, and packed with rich, bold spices. Every bite hits like flavour fireworks. No dry meat. No shortcuts. Just quality and care in every bite. This isn’t just the best shawarma in Scarborough — it’s a must-try for anyone visiting Canada.

And just when you think it can’t get better — you take a sip of their mango smoothie.
OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD.
Thick, refreshing, and perfectly sweet. It’s like tropical heaven in a cup.

Even better — the menu is loaded with more options I haven’t even tried yet. Platters, wraps, sides — the variety is incredible. This place has layers of greatness waiting to be discovered.

Whether you’re from Scarborough, the GTA, across Canada — or even visiting from another country — this is the spot that will make your trip unforgettable. It’s not just food… it’s a destination.

🔥 Certified global must-try.
🌍 One bite, and you’ll understand the hype.
💯 Shawarma & Fries is LEGENDARY.“

“It’s my go-to spot for a quick and delicious lunch. What sets this location apart is the consistently friendly service. The staff always greets you with a smile, and they're super patient, even when there's a line-up out the door. The pitas themselves are always fresh and generously filled. I'm a big fan of their falafel pita - the falafel is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained. It's a great place to grab a quick and tasty lunch or dinner.“

“I think it's safe by now to say that everyone has heard of the term that abs are made in the kitchen... I will add something to this by saying that it doesn't have to be in your kitchen at home or by eating bland and boring food! I had the opportunity today to pass by and visit my old friend Johnny at his shawarma restaurant on Kennedy Road not far off the 401... @johnnysshawarma is consistently ranked in the top handful of shawarma restaurants in the city and I can honestly say that I've never had better shawarma anywhere (not even when visiting Israel!)... And that says a lot considering with my middle eastern roots (my Dad was from Egypt) this is one of my favorite foods as it's delicious as it is nutritious especially when given the option to swap out the starchy carbs like the insanely good rice and potatoes with equally amazing salads and dips... Make sure to stop by and grab a bite if you are heading anywhere East of the DVP off the 401 and let them know Andre sent you 💪💪💪“

“I've been visiting this place every Sunday, it's turned into a ritual. My Sundays are incomplete if I don't visit BRO'S. My favorite shawarma place and the shawarma is top quality. Quick shout-out to Mohammad his service is really spot-on and pays attention to every detail. A quick suggestion to add in just a fries wrap to your menu cuz sometimes I don't feel like eating chicken and only wanna have fries! Thankyou“

“Best Shawarma ever! Emad is very welcoming & friendly. Have tried many other places, but no comparison. He is the best!!“

“When I first entered the shop, there was someone inside, and I thought it was owned by an Arab or Syrian, since shawarma originated in Syria or is considered Arab. But the shawarma is amazing, the taste is delicious. They are kind people. There was a man inside who was from India, a very polite person. I really liked this restaurant.“

“great staff,tasty food🤤🤤🤤“

“This shawarma place is always a win. Surprisingly, the burgers are so good and come with a generous amount of fries—definitely a must-try. The shawarma plates are just as impressive, with great flavor and very large portions that leave you more than satisfied. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the place is always busy, which says a lot about the quality. Ever since we tried it for the first time, we’ve been coming back at least twice a month. Highly recommended!“

“I had an amazing experience at this place! The shawarma was absolutely delicious — packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and super satisfying. What really stood out was the excellent customer service by Nisar. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and top-notch service“

“So far, very enjoyable! Try it.“

“This place is a must-visit for two key reasons: mouth-watering food and top-notch service. The food is always fresh, and the staff are super friendly. Plus, they offered us a taste of their special falafel, which was crispy outside and fluffy inside. Delicious!“

“Great food. Fresh & healthy. Excellent service. 10/10 would recommend“

“Thanks for the clean and delicious food. Fantastic شكرا علي الاكل النظيف واللذيذ .روعة“

“Best in town .We enjoyed hospitality and customer service of staff.Must visit.“

“If I said it was okay, I'd be lying. I don't think I'll go anywhere else for shawarma in Scarborough unless god makes the food. Their deals are great for the portions and the sauces are delicious. I got the mixed shawarma with no spice and I'll get it again and again.“

“The food was really good the owner was working the owner is one of the nicest people I've ever met I love the food I love the service it's a very nice restaurant in general the wraps are big and it's really filling every bite that I took was like biting into Heaven if you have 20 bucks to spend for you and your friend or something go there and spend it best shawarma place ever“

“Highly recommended ‼️
I’ve got to say, their chicken poutine is hands down the best I’ve had so far – perfectly crispy fries, just the right amount of sauce, melty cheese, and tender, flavorful chicken.
I also really enjoyed their butter chicken wrap – full of flavor and super satisfying.
On top of that, the customer service was great, and the atmosphere was welcoming. The place was super clean and felt fresh, which made the whole experience even better.“

“We love the Shwarma , we enjoyed the food. even the line was long but Service was excellent.“

“The best doubles in the east end and the city!
3$ doubles can’t beat that price ,6polouri for 1$ mawdness ! Soooooo good ! I’ve heard the jerk chicken is good too ! I drove half way across Scarborough to come here when I crave doubled“

“Osmow’s on Markham Road is always a go-to spot for great wraps and bowls, especially with their hot sauce that hits just right. But what truly makes the experience special is the amazing employee, Preet. She was super hospitable, professional, and kept a genuine smile throughout the entire service. Her friendly attitude and attention to detail made the visit way more enjoyable. It’s rare to see someone so passionate about customer satisfaction, and it’s because of her that I’d love to visit Osmow’s again and again. Preet truly adds flavor beyond the food!“

“Amazing taste, and they don't skimp out on the meat.

I came here for the 2 for 1 shawarma and was expecting a deal, or at least similar pricing as all the other places along the Lawrence strip - but 12.99 for a single chicken shawarma? Man...it tastes good but I can't afford to buy this too often.“

“I had a chance to stop by this place for the Poutine, I must say this is the best poutine in town, the worker Mr. Ali who served us was an amazing and heard working person.
I truly appreciate the business they’re serving for our community.“

“perfect food and yummy taste“

“I could hear Afghan music playing softly in the background—it reminded me so much of old Indian classic songs. I didn’t understand the Pashto lyrics, but I could feel the soul of the music. There was even a little singing bird on the counter, adding to the charm. I ordered the Pulao Uzbeki, and it was absolutely amazing. A beautiful experience overall—authentic, warm, and memorable.“
