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)

The pita was warm, soft, lightly grilled, and perfect with the creamy, garlicky tzatziki. Simple, fresh, and exactly what you want from a Greek restaurant. Great place for a casual lunch or dinner, especially if you want something flavorful but not overly heavy. Would happily come back next time we're in Montreal.

The hubby and I wanted a break from all the bread Montreal has to offer so we ordered a salad, some cheese, a cup of soup, a dip, and some drinks. All the dishes came with pita - so much for cutting carbs. My favorites were the Horiatiki salad which is basically a Greek salad in the states. It was a large serving, incredibly refreshing, crisp, and had all the right notes of crunch, tangy, bright, salty I was looking for. The fried feta was my husband's favorite. We had two triangular portions served in a dish with tomatoes, olives, onions and a balsamic drizzle. The garlic dip was unremarkable and the soup was nice and lemony but I was too full to finish it. The lychee sangria was sweet, tart, and satisfying.

The owner and his staff of welcoming and friendly and are there to explain the menu and even gave us some sample to try. First dish was the hummus. It reminded me when I was back touring the Middle East. The hummus was so fresh and you can taste the ingredients with a hint of lemon juice. It was so good we order another one. Second dish Muhuhammara This is a dish with garlic, pepper, walnuts and outlive oil. This was a hit. I could not believe how good it tasted and how fresh it tatsted Third Roasted cauliflower This is one of my favorite things to eat and they did it perfectly. Roasted and seasoned just the way I like it. They put a touch of tahini on top. I would of gotten more but they sold out. 4th dish Grilled chicken in lemon Usually the chicken is dry. Not here it was supper moist and the Lemmon sauce was right on point. Not to overpowering. It blended well with all the spicies. This is a must try if you like Mediterranean food. not only is the food amazing the staff go out of the way to make you feel welcome

Decided on "Les Mezz-Plateaux, plateau de 6" to split between two ppl. It's a set menu that comes with hummus, taboulé, mouhammara, and zaatar potatos with choice on the protein and dessert. We chose the shawarma mignon for protein and almond and apricot for dessert. The food presents well aesthetically and appears fresh but nothing stood out to me taste wise. The pita was not made in-store, it was the store-bought pita pocket type and not even warmed up. Total came to $41 not incl tips. We added tip on top even though we shouldn't have, as you grab the food yourself from the counter. I wanted to like this place but sadly it was mediocre at best.

Upon entering the restaurant, I'm instantly reminded of the late nights waiting at a halal cart in nyc after a night out. This restaurant itself is not the cleanest and rather chaotic on weekend nights. Theres usually a long line to order, but it moves rather quickly and efficiently. The staff members aren't the friendliest, but they get the job done LOL. You'll find a bunch of hungry and probably drunk people sitting at the cafeteria styled seats at night. The food is the main selling point here though. I've gotten the mixed platter and shawarma platter; both with generous servings of protein all doused in a flavorful sauce. Ordered the poutine recently and was also impressed how much they loaded the protein. It was a little on the saltier side and wished they had more cheese curds, but still pretty enjoyable. The fries were also more like small potato wedges. I've recommended this place countless times for almost any point of the day, but they especially hit the spot after a long night.
