Johnny’s Shawarma

JOHNNYS the best shawarma in town… and trust me ive had a ton in the GTA.
The meat is juicy and flavourful… without any unwanted fat or dry taste.
Its healthy, filling, and priced fairly. If you are in the kennedy/​401 area definitely stop by and you will leave with a full and satisfied stomach.

I enjoyed their sharwarma: chicken was warm & everything was fresh ! My dear friend took me there for late lunch. We took our sharwarma TO GO.
Bad? too far from downtown core !

Just had lunch at this place and I got the falafel wrap, with hot sauce. It was seriously delicious — warm, with crispy and really flavourful falafel, a great garlic sauce, pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion and parsley. I loved it — will definitely go back. Also, the service was great — the guys were really busy, but super nice and made everyone welcome.

You know the routine, it’s past 1pm and you haven’t had your lunch yet. So you hop on Unilocal and seek your next meal. You see shawarma and giggle like a little girl. But you haven’t been there yet, but then see some good reviews about how scrumptious the shawarmas are and decide to give it a go based on many good reviews.
ABORT! I REPEAT, ABORT MISSION! ITS A CODE RED!
But in all seriousness. The décor is somewhat welcoming, as is the persons. When you walk in they greet you like you’re related, which is odd because I’m East Asian and they’re not. If you’re a talkative guy, prepare to have a nice conversation about your life.
I got a chicken shawarma wrap, quick and easy. When I took it out of the bag, I thought something wasn’t right. I then realized it was the shawarma… it was the smallest shawarma wrap I have ever seen. $ 5.49 plus tax.
The wrap was just fine, nothing exciting. Maybe I was just too hungry, who knows. But the amount of chicken and veggies in there was virtually nonexistent. If you’re looking for a nice conversation with some nice people, this is your spot. But if it’s for a decent sized shawarma that takes great, I would abort mission.

Fast efficient service, with a good selection of toppings for shwarma dinner plates, good humus and hot sauce. Good portions with the offer of a pita for more.

It’s a friendly mom n pop shop in scarborough. The people are so nice, make great conversation, and of course the food is decent as well. I haven’t had anything that I wouldn’t eat again. The tabouli is very tasty here as well.

My coworkers and I come here for lunch a few times a month. The shawarma’s that we have had were always fresh and delicious. I have recently tried the shawarma meat over salad and was not disappointed. The staff members are always so kind and welcoming the moment you walk through the door. The portions and prices are great! I would highly recommend this place!

Great tasting chicken shawarma wrap but there was hardly any chicken smh cheap on the meat not a good way to keep ppl coming back. Stay away from the fries too yuck!

Delicious and addicting Shawarma Wraps. The folks behind the counter are friendly and keep the line moving. Clean and inviting atmosphere. I come back at least once a month or more. The Samosas are excellent too.

Worse sharwarma place ever! It’s expensive for the quality you’re getting and nothing is fresh in there. I ordered a beef sharwarma plate and was so very disappointed. The meat didn’t taste very good and was extremely greasy, the sauces were watered down and the rice was microwaved. Literally, I watched the guy put the rice in the bowl, threw it in the microwave and then dumped the rice in the box. I’m not a picky eater and I’ve eaten in some of the worse buffets and still thought it was OK. Here, no, this place absolutely sucks. It’s the kind of food that you have regrets eating for days to come. Every bite is really a mouthful of sadness.
I shouldn’t known the place wasn’t very good given there was not a single soul in the restaurant during the dinner rush hour. Not recommended!

Ordered the 2 for $ 10.00 shawarma sandwich special, one chicken and one beef. I must say the staff here are extremely welcoming, friendly and courteous. Dining room is clean, inviting. Wraps tasted very good, garlic sauce especially. Very disappointed with the portion size though Wraps just didn’t seem «stuffed» enough, I expected more veggies inside.
Sorry guys, but there’s other places better.

I’ve given this place a few chances but I’ve never liked anything I’ve had here. Friends of mine tell me they like it here but in my opinion there are better shawarma places nearby

For real fresh food that is unbelievably tasty do yourself a favor and come to johnny’s shawarma to satisfy your hunger and taste buds. Fresh ingredients, great quality meats, quick and friendly service with a pleasant atmosphere and great location. In fact I think I’ll be going there soon it’s been too long, see you there.

It’s the best food I’ve eaten. the place is small but super cozy, modern and clean, and the staff is the best of all, they are super friendly, attentive, always serving with a smile. 100% recommended!

I work next to the place and its the only thing I like to eat for lunch, it’s fresh, filling, and tastes really good, not to mention their outstanding prices. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Overall it’s the best halal food place in the area if you need something that’s quick and tastes good.

I have been going to Johnny’s Shawarma for years. I usually get the Chicken Shawarma platter about 4 times a year and whenever I go, it is such a treat.
First, I gotta mention the staff. There are 2 guys that work there and they are fun, energetic, care about where you come from and what you’re eating. If you’re an introvert, you may find them a bit forward but hey, they’re really nice. Second, the food. The Chicken Shawarma platter is a heaping good time. Here’s what my order contains:
Chicken Shawarma (White Meat)
Lentils & Rice
Greek Salad
Potato Salad
Pita with Garlic Sauce
Hummus
Weekday nights after 5 PM or 6 PM, the Shawarma platter is discounted to $ 8.25. They give you a 10 punch card so the 10^th Shwarma sandwich is free or $ 5 off the platter, which keeps you coming back.
The thing about Johnny’s is that their Shawarma is DISTINCT. It has a homely, healthy kinda feel. It is not oily or greasy. If you are looking for the best shawarma in town, I find that it is all depends on people’s taste so you can be searching according to your palatte. But if you want to have 100% excellent service, generous portions, you have come to the right place.
Love this place and will definitely return again and again.

We ordered 3 chicken shawarmas, a beef shawarma and a beef samosa. The beef samosa was very big and packed with meat. It was a bit spicy but not so strong that it would burn your mouth.
The shawarma wasn’t that big compared to other places but I liked that it was warmed on a panini press first. They were 2 for $ 8.50 so for the price, it was good.

You cannot go wrong with this place if you want a Shawarma sandwich or plate. Open late. I’ve been coming here on and off for over 10 years and it’s been the same owner since it opened. This is not a full service restaurant. It’s more of a quick fast food style but the food is really good. The tabouli salad is always good with fresh parsley, olive oil, chunks of tomatoes, onions and lemon juice and sea salt compared to some of the franchised Middle Eastern fast food places where they skimp on everything to the point that it doesn’t look or taste anything like a real tabouli. Cool when owner speaks Arabic to the many Middle Eastern customers that come here which speaks volume about the place.
Very basic place with great shawarma that everyone appreciates at great prices that does not break the wallet.
I recommend without hesitation. Eat up! :)

Insanely friendly owner is very accommodating. Great food at a cheat price along with that and you just can’t go wrong.
Only thing is you really need to watch it or you will drive right by this hidden gem.

THis is a little shawarma place located on the west side of kennedy road is this shawarma place. It’s almost too small to see. Johnny is a nice guy, and he seems to be real earnest in his attempts. He said that his Shawarma was better than Dearborn Michigans, which is quite the boast. While I applaud his gaul, he doesn’t quite match up to the best in Dearborn. But then again, outside of the Middle East, who does?
Despite the falls braggadicio the food was decent. The prices were good, and I was happy being there. It was definitely A-​ok
