I had the one of the best shawarmas in Kitchener, fresh ingredients and good customer service. While we waited for our shawarma’s they gave us a falafel to try, it was the most delicious falafel I have tried so far. I will be back for a full serving of falafels for sure!

Some of the best shawarma I’ve had in the city! I’ve tried the Chicken Pita, The saj wrap, and the chicken on the rock, all have been great! I’m surprised the restaurant isn’t busier, definitely a hidden gem!

This place never disappoints! Clean and very tasty food. We are regulars here. Good portion size- I'm talking about the protein and not rice and salad. Most places load up the plate with rice and fill in bits of protein. This time the washroom was dirty. Great service as always.

Fantastic food. I'm a big shawarma fan so I'm glad a nice independent, family-owned place is in the area. The food tasted great, the employee was nice, and the prices were justifiable for the portion sizes. We got the chicken shawarma platter and really enjoyed it. Will definitely be coming back to try the wraps and other menu items. Came here two years later after they've rebranded. Still going with 5 stars. I was in a rush and she got my order ready really quick. They also serve dine-in orders on these stone plates which is a really nice touch.

I've been coming to this place for years now. The food tastes great, it is prepared quickly and people are friendly. Best chicken shawarma poutine in town. Prices have increased a lot over the years. The restaurant also changed its name but they told me it's the same owner. Weird. I liked the old decorations more.

I recently visited this restaurant and had the shawarma salad—let me tell you, it was not only massive but absolutely delicious! And that was the medium size lol The best part? The owner is always on-site, working alongside the team and clearly takes immense pride in his craft. It’s so refreshing to see someone so dedicated to the quality of their food. Everything is made from scratch, from the sauces to the hummus, which makes a huge difference in taste. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and give it a try—you won’t be disappointed!
