We stumbled across this shawarma spot while driving across Canada, and I’m really glad we did. It was my son’s first time trying shawarma, and this was the perfect place for that to happen. He went with the chicken, I had the steak with the works, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly put together. The pickled vegetables especially stood out, added a depth of flavor I haven’t tasted in a long time. Great balance of spice, texture, and care in every bite. Locals, you’ve got a real gem here. Definitely one of those unexpected food finds that makes a road trip even better.

The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous inside and a very pleasant place to dine in. Bright and open and welcoming! The staff is extremely friendly and so accommodating - really nice people, you will feel so welcomed. Once you walk in, you will be enticed by the intoxicating aroma and the recipes they use are perfect. We had the chicken shawarma sandwiches and could not pass up the potatoes and garlic sauce. They brought out FRESH potatoes for us and all of the food was so delicious and satisfying. Huge portions - I am glad they have a small version! Renfrew - if you haven't tried them yet, you HAVE TO. It will be your new favourite spot!

Stopped by on a whim! Delicious chicken sandwich (generously portioned) and really garlicky potatoes! The owner served us and was really nice and even gave us an extra complimentary garlic potato! Definitely recommend this place

The portions are incredible and so reasonably priced!! The food is exceptional, best shawarma ever by far! For freshness and flavour can’t recommend enough. The platter is easily 2 full meals for me. Even the rice is amazing!

I was here yesterday. What an amazing spot! I’ve been to many shawarma places, but this gem truly stands out. The food is packed with authentic flavor, the chicken is always fresh and sliced right off the spit, and the service is quick and friendly. Definitely a must-visit if you’re craving real shawarma!

Shawarma here is really good. their garlic sauce and hummus is really delicious and their platter that can feed 2-3 is a very good price. The staff is very kind and they care about their customers.
