Shawarma and Falafel City
Reviews of Shawarma and Falafel City
from GoogleWe got the 16'' donair for $25 and split it between the 2 of us. The wrap around it was light and flaky and filling was good but wish there was more sauce. The falafel balla where nice and crispy.
I order from here regularly, and most the time it’s not too bad. Today I ordered from Uber Eats and the potato’s were so hard you can’t even poke a fork through them. The lettuce is completely brown and welted. I know they’re on the more affordable side but I think I’ll spend the few extra dollars elsewhere from here on out.
The food was delicious and full of flavour. The shawarma was delicious, and the baklava was fresh and sweet without being too heavy. Overall, the dishes were impressive and I really enjoyed them.
Food and service - stellar! Wasn’t sure what to order. Went for a large 10” chicken shawarma. And a large beef donair. Both excellent! Likely the best over ever had. The ingredients so fresh. Their home made hot sauce loaded with flavor. Not over the top spicy. And MUCH better than the typical franks or Sriracha. The key here was a thinner wrap. Not a thick, fake, doughy pita bread. Atmosphere - not stellar, hence the 3. BUT keep in mind that’s NOT what you’re coming in for. Delicious! Highly recommended!
The food was good and delicious. The chicken was awesome. They didn’t have soap in a washroom which was silly. The place has pictures and explanations of foods they make. It was a good restaurant and I really recommend it for Shawarma Lovers.
Great food, fresh ingredients, and friendly service. The shawarma was delicious and honestly better than Shawarma Palace. Definitely worth trying!
Great food and great conversations. What can go wrong
Best place , clean , good taste . The workers are very respectful with the customers ♥️♥️
This is the place to get a shawarma on the go, the staff are really nice here and they take care of you really well. I really recommend this place to try. 😁
Delicious food! Restaurant is very clean, and the menu is labeled with foods that may contain gluten, which as a celiac is awesome. The staff members who made my food were so incredibly kind. Great place to eat!
About Shawarma and Falafel City
On Kensington Road NW, this small independent halal shawarma shop serves chicken shawarma and beef donair in a light, flaky wrap. The room is clean, and pictures and short notes explain the food, which helps on a first visit.
Get the large 10-inch chicken shawarma or the beef donair, both in a thin, flaky wrap. A 16-inch donair is big enough to split between two. Ask for the house hot sauce, which is made in-house and is not overly spicy, and ask for extra sauce if you like it wet. The falafel comes out crisp, and the baklava is fresh.
What diners say
Diners praise the flavour and freshness, and one called the house hot sauce better than the usual franks or sriracha. The falafel and the baklava both get good marks, and the menu is labelled for gluten, which a celiac diner found reassuring. Diners say the donair is filling, and the baklava is sweet without being too heavy.
Before you order
Ordering in person gets the food to you at its freshest. The menu marks what may contain gluten, so check the labels if you are avoiding it.
