I am no Shawarma expert but I can tell how a shawarma should look and taste like with my limited experience. Tasty Shawarma’s version is just nasty. I think they have it all wrapped up like a taco pie on purpose so no one can see what they put inside, which is hardly anything. I know $ 10 for tax for 2 sounds cheap but you really get what you paid for. I could only finished the Chicken one but just could not get myself to eat the Beef one because it was just so dry. Skip the shawarma sandwich for sure. Maybe other options is better? But I won’t be wasting my time and money to bet on that.

Been passing by this place for years now and finally tried it. During my first visit I had the Falafel Sandwhich, which was one of their specials of the day. 2 Sandwhiches for $ 8.19 is a great deal in my opinion! They ask if you want hot sauce and I find that even a little bit has my tongue turning numb. Large Falafels, packed into a giant pita, filled with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. It was good and I ended up coming back for dinner the next day! They also have Chicken, Beef Shawarmas as well and plates you can get that come with rice or a choice of side. Great place to visit if you’re looking for something satisfying for under $ 10 before taxes. Their décor is simple, and you order your food at the counter. Even with one table that day, the wait was pretty long, but the food made up for it.

It’s gone down hill a bit since it opened. Service is still slow & prices are up… which would be ok if it was as good as before. Seeing flys in your restaurant is never a good sign either

All day special: two shawerma for $ 10($ 8.85 + taxes) is a good deal. It used to be cheaper around $ 9 when it first opened. They have giant shawerma spits spinning in the back; that’s how you know its good meat. We normally get the chicken shawerma sandwiches or the dinner(which comes with rice, salad and meat). During the last few visits, we noticed that they put less meat in the sandwiches which is disappointing. My hubby took two big bites out of his sandwich and unfortunately still didn’t get to the meat. We keep coming back every time we crave shawerma sandwich as there’s not other competition in the area. Service is a bit slow during lunch rush. You may have to wait a while to pick up your food.

The amount of meat in the shawarma has been continuously shrinking that it’s practically a veggie wrap now.

I’d give it 5 stars but it seems like everytime I visit the place the price of the 2 for 1 shawarma increases and the amount of meat they stuff in decreases. but I still come back and get my shawarma fix. I love the potato wedges as well. also, the shawarma dinner is decent. needs to work on their staff cause sometimes there’s a line and it takes a while for them to prepare the orders. happened to me a lot of times where I just went out and got a subway sandwich instead.

If you believe deep down that Markham isn’t the place for good shawarma… this place isn’t going to disabuse you of such stereotypes. It’s not BAD but it’s not the greatest Arab food you’ve ever had. If you get hungry and want to avoid the traffic on 14th, might be a good option.

Just tried the shawarma sandwich, wow what a let down. I know markham is pretty much devoid of any Arabic restaurants, but come on this has to be a cruel joke. Head lettuce, white field onions, garlic sauced watered down tahini no pickeled turnips, sliced tomatoes(really???). To call these shawarma, is an insult. Took two bites and threw it away. Should have known better. Do yourself a favor, try the places around Lawrence ave even arz bakery has a hands down better sandwich.

Went there the other day. Wont be back ordered falafel plate which came with rice, salad(which they should just say lettuce) cause they dont have dressing. Falafel its self was tasty however for $ 11 it should come with typical sides of hummus, tahini and tabule. Pictures showed it was suppose to come with pickled turnip but they didnt have any. When i asked if the could sub garlic and hot sauce for hummus the guy said yes but when he served my plate and i asked for the side if hummus he said i would have to pay 2.99 for it $ 15??? For 6 falafel and hummus. And a full plate of rice. Falafels were a 4. Hummus a 3 and service, because they dont seem to understand ppl very well. A zero

I needed a quick lunch and attracted by the fancy shawarma signs. I ordered the chicken shawarma, which tasted OK(not the best. The sandwich can be warmer). The price is good– 2 shawarma for $ 9($ 5 for 1, $ 7 for combo). I came during weekend lunch, it seems that there are alot of «eater» traffic. However you can find seats easily, as 85% of traffic takeouts. The cashier service is OK, a little slow waiting for food.

A friend had got me take out from this place. He’d gotten me the shawarma plate with the chicken and beef. And boy was I happy. The meat to veg ratio was great! I love the fact that they hadn’t tried to cheap out on the meat. Second the amount of veggies were amazing. I for one need veggies and this was great. What I would have to say is that there is A LOT of rice. But to be fair it was flavourful and quite yummy. Overall I’d definitely recommend what I had. I’m not sure about the sandwiches but Id def be back to give it a try. The plate can easily feed two; but if you’ve got a monstrous appetite; you’d want to have it for yourself. Also cannot comment on the restaurant itself as i’ve never been. But for the food alone; def worth take out.

Two shawarma sandwiches for $ 8.25. You can’t beat the price. But they are so so. Bread was stale and vegetables were not very fresh. Chicken was excellent though. I would give it a three stars because it is after all a fast food place. You can’t really expect too much. If you want really good authentic fresh shawarma, you gotta go downtown yonge street.

Good Value for Markham that’s 100% sure. But sometimes they could be light on the chicken so make sure u ask! Otherwise you’ll need two of the wraps to fill up. Overall, great place if you’re passing by and want a quick cheap but«tasty» quick eat.

Food: 4 – 4.5÷5… Excellent shawarma. Great value. $ 9 for 2 shawarmas. Quantity: great for lunch. You can have one for lunch and one for dinner… If you eat both– youll be stuffed. Service: friendly. Ordered at the front for take out. Sat and waited about 5−8mins. Ordered: Beef and chicken shawarma sandwiches.(you can order mixed as well which is now my order). Very good. Very Tasty and fresh. Takes a few minutes to make it. Been back now multiple times. Can’t go wrong with shawarma sandwich. Sauces: Hot sauce tahini & Garlic sauce– I request a bit more If you are a big eater– like me– you can eat both but youll be stuffed. Like bedtime and done for the day. Lol well worth it.

2 shawarma for $ 8.25 all day everyday. Good amount of meat and most importantly it tastes good. No line up on a Sunday night. Do take out as the place is not v warm.

I’m a sucker for a good falafel, and this place delivers. Ordered the combo with a side of hummus. Tasty, fresh falafel and good but a little loose hummus. Would definitely come here again.

Good food and employees. But terrible service in terms of wait time. Every time I go I have to wait an unreasonable amount of time for just ONE Shawarma wrap. It would help if they took orders on the phone but they don’t even do that.

This is by far the best value you can get for a good shawarma. The toppings are fresh and the shawarma has never fell apart on me(pet peeve of mine). Their shawarma plate is also something to consider trying. Good service Good Food Clean environment

It might not look much, but the Shawarma here taste really soft and good, as in it taste Fresh, unlike most other places where the stuffing is hard and/or dried. The price is right.
