The Short Version: Popular shawarma place on Sainte…read moreCatherine Street. The beef shawarma was pretty good. The Long Version: My husband and I were chilling in our hotel when my husband had a hankering for some shawarma. He didn't want to go too far, and I encouraged him to try a new-to-us place, lol. So a quick search led him to Shawarmaz. Shawarmaz is a Canadian company that started 2013 in Montreal. It has several locations but they are all in the Greater Montreal Area. My husband got the beef shawarma in a pita $9.79. They have the option of getting your shawarma in Saj bread or a baguette and those options are more expensive. He got lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, turnips and onions. For his sauces he got hummus, spicy garlic and chipotle. He enjoyed the shawarma. I had a bite so I could review it (I also went with him so I could see the restaurant and take pictures) haha. I thought it was pretty good. They give you a decent amount of protein. And the beef was flavourful and not gristly. I was surprised that the wrap was not too spicy considering the sauces he chose. The decor is fast food restaurant-like. Service was good but it did take a while for the food, although it's likely because there was a pretty long line up. Review #205 (2025)

I arrived in Montreal late afternoon on a Monday which is not the easiest time to find food…read moreanywhere but at fast food establishment. I ordered a mixed shawarma wrap, tabouleh salad and a side of hummus. Everything was pretty tasty and served quickly. The tabouleh was different than I've had before, mostly parsley, barely any bulgar but it was very fresh and tasty. The meat on the shawarma was juicy and tasty. I would visit this chain again for a quick meal.

My friend was really hyping up the Lebanese chain Boustan and even mentioned that they had vegan…read morefriendly menu items. I had to see it for myself and low-and-behold, they actually did. They have a vegan pita that uses faux meat that tastes just like shawarma, with all the fixings like hummus, tomatoes, lettuce, etc. in a warm pita wrap. I was very surprised at how good it was and they really seemed to be happy to provide plant-based options. I also tried a side of their potatoes and falafels with a vegan garlic sauce that they happened to provide upon request. Both were fine - neither were the best I've had by a long shot, but fine for being fast food. Given the nature of the restaurant, there is absolutely cross-contamination, but I'm sure you knew that already.

She was also on her way back home that day so we wanted to send her off with some good food memories. We needed spicy, vegetarian, and filling. The way I was googling, flipping through Eater. Woo - the pressure! Sumac was it because like who doesn't love falafel?? (If you don't, then be quiet and keep scrolling). We kept it simple with 3 pitas and a large order of spicy lamb fries without the lamb, but with the spice. I've never seen such huge pita in my life. Even at the very bottom there were still falafel. And the fries. I could cry. The pita was very soft and flavorful. The food was a work of art. Things: -chair and bench style seating. I was comfortable in the chair which is always a win. -service was excellent. You choose a seat then order at the counter. Someone clears your plates and mess. -they don't take AMEX

I got a Roma sandwich. They portions are HUGE for the price and it's always so hard to finish the whole meal but worth the price you pay. Not an expensive place and you HAVE to get their fresh lemonade. Staff takes a lot of pride in their work and you can tell that everything is fresh and made with love. Overall food was a 10, service was a 10, and although it was a little hot in the establishment when we arrived the staff easily accommodated and closed any open doors to put on the a/c they have indoors. Ate here atleast 3 times while I was on my trip. Small shop but worth the wait to get a table. They also have outside seating if you prefer.
