We’ve visited Sham Shawarma several times, but our most recent experience truly stood out. We ordered the mixed shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavour was rich, and everything tasted fresh. What really made this visit exceptional was the service we received from Ahmed. He genuinely went above and beyond to make sure our food was prepared perfectly. The mixed shawarma he made for us was hands down the best we’ve ever tried in the city. The pita was toasted to a perfect crispy, crunchy texture, and the meat was cooked and seasoned so well that every bite was packed with flavor. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is also clean and welcoming, and dining in makes a big difference. Overall, we highly recommend Sham Shawarma and we’ll definitely visit again.

I ordered the chicken plate and it exceeded my expectations. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portion was generous, and the pickled veggies with the creamy garlic sauce balanced everything so well. Ahmad served us and he was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. No wonder this place gets all the hype. Great food and great service. We will definitely be back.

Went there yesterday for lunch with a customer of mine and it was not our first time and it won't be our last either. I ordered the donair platter and everything was so delicious and the portions were fairly generous for the price. The complimentary tea offered to us as we walked in was simply amazing. My customer ordered the usual which is the chicken shawarma and she loved it as usual. Great customer service and very friendly staff. Keep it up guys!

First time going to this place. This evening. It was a bit chilly and as soon as we walked in. The person offered some complementary tea. It was delicious. I love cinnamon. He was so welcoming and nice. We got a platter to share to we try a bit of everything. It was worth it. Blessed the food. Typically I'm not a big fan of the potatoes in shawarma. But I wish we would of gotten more. They were soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. And with that blob of garlic. It hit the spot. We will be coming back
