This is the best shawarma I've tried in KW! Everything is fresh, flavorful and delicious. The chicken is tender and perfectly spiced, and there is a perfect ratio of meat, veggies and sauces in the wrap. Extra points for the crisp iceberg lettuce and sweet onion. The falafel is served up golden brown on the outside and deliciously soft and aromatic on the inside. Very friendly and attentive staff. Small location, best for take-out.
Very small shop but very nice people! The food tastes good and is decently sized for the price. Usually wait 10 min but they let you know.
Had the chicken shawarma plate for lunch today. Fries and chicken were very dry. Felt like I was eating reheated leftovers from last night. The salad was the only thing that was fresh. The garlic sauce was a bit salty.
Maybe the wraps are their best based on reviews. The sharwama plate didn't even come anywhere near their ratings.

Best shawarma wraps in town. Plates are good too, only complaint is that sometimes the fries are overcooked. Overall they are quite consistent and I keep coming back. Whatever hot sauce they used in my wrap today was amazing - not sure if it's new?
This spot was recommended by a colleague and is very unassuming from the outside but definitely worth the visit!
I am a huge shawarma fan and have tried many places in the Waterloo region, but this was definitely one of the best! I ordered a shawarma poutine - the portion size was massive but the flavours? Absolutely delicious! Sometimes I worry about ordering a poutine from a place where it isn't the main speciality because you can often end up with soggy freezer fries and artificial tasting gravy, but this was not the case here. Everything from the fries to the chicken and sauces was perfect! A total flavour bomb.

Neither VFM nor good taste and the food was flavourless and bland! The quantity abysmal & mediocre for over 16$ & overall pricey for a Shawarma plate! Seems like the reviews are concocted & definitely 💯 not going back again! More importantly, I don’t understand why had to wait 15 minutes to eat uncooked rice. Heck, even had to go home and do my own spices & seasoning 🧂 including salt! Honestly can’t trust Google reviews nowadays & one must check recent reviews too. Period.
Great food at a great price.
On my last visit, my family ordered the Full Flavour Shawarma and the Shawarma Plate with Rice, along with a side of fries. The portions are generously sized and we had leftovers. The meat was tender, juicy, and well seasoned. All of the fillings/toppings were fresh. The fries were a little over-cooked and dried, though on another visit they were great. Still, I would return again for another order the next time I get the urge for shawarma.
