Amazing food. Fast service. Clean. Made right in front of you. We always go there every time we're in Windsor.

Eating Shawarma at this place alone makes the trip from Detroit to Windsor worth it! Chicken shawarma was so good I wanted to eat another, but was too full. Beef Shawarma was very good but just a little bit salty. Falafel balls were among the best. Tahini sauce was perfect to dip and this experience couldn't have been any better. Ordering was a little funky but it figures itself out once the guys get going. (It was dead and then suddenly 6 people were in line). Tables and chairs basically. A plain interior normally found in Halal restaurants. Fine with me, I'm here to eat! Come to the palace and see the king of shawarma in Windsor. read more

I may as well be crying writing this poor review, but it's truly the end of an era for me here. This place was an institution downtown, and at least a weekly shawarma (or more) for me. I understand prices have gone up, but that does not excuse quantity going down, severely. Looking at my bill, I was just charged .50c for asking for Tahini on my $8.49 mixed shawarma. Apparently that's considered an "extra" topping? No lie it is probably about half the amount of meat, but now they're going to charge you for extra sauce and toppings-sorry new owners, this is not the Shawarma Palace it used to be. read more

The best chicken shawarma in downtown Windsor. Quick, hot, and fresh. The interior is clean and suitable for dining in, which is not true of some of this establishment's competitors. I've been treated well whenever I've patronized Shawarma Palace. read more

So good. Came here 3 times in a 2 day stay, food is great, staff was incredibly nice and the late hours make it the perfect late night spot.

The food was ok, the guy working didn't seem to understand anything even though we were speaking the same language. A small shawarma for $8.50 is not worth it. Definitely better spots available. Don't recommend, save your money!!! read more

The shawarma is okay. They don't put much chicken in it, but the rest of the toppings are nice & fresh. Sadly neither the garlic or humus have much flavour. The A wrap is just $6 so for an inexpensive quick meal it will do the job. Next time I'm in Windsor I'll try somewhere else for a quick lunch. read more

Okay so, came here drunk and L-O-V-E-D it so of course came back sober to see if it was actually good or just drunken taste buds. Anyways, turns out nope it's actually just straight delish. The garlic sauce is creamed and flavoured to the heavens. Everything was fresh and put together with perfection! Honestly, just a cornucopia of delicious flavours! Tip: ask for extra creamy garlic sauce to elevate the shawarma to a whole other level Pro tip: make sure you get extra napkins read more

Shawarma Palace - The whole set up - Lebanese Near Me - Windsor, Ontario

I used to go here all the time and it was very good. The last two times I went right before the rush for lunch and it wasn't busy yet so they should have had time to do things right. Unfortuantely, the one male employee came from doing some work the back room. He did not wash his hands or put gloves on. he could have been cleaning, taking the garbage out, going to the washroom, picking his nose or scratching his butt, who knows... He used his bare hands, picked up the pita bread and started going through the toppings. Then he rang the guy through and still didn't wash or put gloves on. Needless to say, I changed my mind and did not but anything. The second time one guy had one glove on but that was on the hand that he held the knife with so it sure as heck wasn't for the customers. His other hand had no glove on and again he held the pita bread and started going through the toppings and making the schwarma wrap without washing his hands and using his bare hand rather than the gloved one. A second male came from doing work in the back, didn't wash his hands and started handling the bread and toppings. Did we not just get through Covid? Did people not learn any hygiene? What is wrong with these people that can't wash or put gloves on? No respect. No manners. I don't want Hepatitis A, B or C, Influenza, Covid, E. Coli, Salmonella, dead skin, fingernails, dirt, etc. with my lunch thank you very much. To top it off these guys are not friendly anymore either. I will never go back again unfortunately. So dissapointed! Disgusting. Schwarma Palace? I don't think so. Not anymore. Well, maybe Schwarma Germ Palace. read more

The food is not bad but their service is terrible. I have had several experiences in the past with the owner and staff being rude, talking down to customers which is why I stopped going to this location for a couple of years. Today against my better judgment I went with a friend on our lunch break and was yelled at and talked down to for trying to order a second shawarma because I "already ordered chicken". When my friend then went to oder he was yelled at because "his sandwich was already made" but we were ordering separately and he assumed we were together. We were the only two customers in there ordering so he wasn't busy. He then rushed making our sandwiches and when we returned to work all three sandwiches turned to complete mush and fell apart because he was too bothered to cook them long enough. I will never return to this restaurant and I will never recommend it to anyone after this final incident. There is a much better shawarma place with much better service just down the road, which I will be recommending to all of my coworkers over this place. This restaurant clearly doesn't value their customers. read more

Why haven't I reviewed this place yet? I was introduced to this place by my niece who was attending UofW at the time. She and her friends would grab shawarmas after a bit too much drinking and it is conveniently located right after crossing the border from Michigan. Not only that, it is priced perfectly for students and other frugal folks and it also tastes heavenly. You can get beef or chicken shawarma wraps or plates with rice or fries. I prefer just the wraps with everything in it and toasted to perfection. Sometimes I order two for myself which comes to about $10-$12. Make sure you're not kissing or talking anybody's ear off because you'll smell of extreme garlic breath with no mercy. The chicken shawarma is my favorite. Recently tried the fried kibbee stuffed with meat and I wasn't a fan. It was overly dry and barely stuffed with meat and it cost $2 a piece. No thanks to that. Anyway drop by, delicious joint. Lovely workers that greet you like family :-) read more

I spent a few days in Windsor for a tournament and this place was located close to the Windsor Aquatic Centre, where the tournament was being held. The location is great since it's on Oullette. I came for lunch and it was busy which is always a good sign. They did an excellent job in moving the line fairly quickly. I decided to go for the lunch special: $8.99 for a Shawarma wrap, side and drink. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap with a salad and drink. You get a choice of ingredients but I just asked for everything. They toasted the wrap and the chicken was delicious. Very good place! I was very happy with my choice and if you are in the area and craving Shawarma, this is the place. #20 of 2018 read more

Still serves a great Beef Shawarma! Only ever really get a sandwich and drink, never had an issue. Usually pretty quick too.

This is probably my favorite shawarma spot EVER. I used to come here all the time when I lived in Windsor and I still make a trip to this restaurant whenever I visit. I love their beef shawarma, I think it's the garlic sauce and the pickles and the moist shreds of beef that make the wrap so good! Windsor is great for their Mediterranean food and this place is number one on my list. read more

Overall 4 stars Food: 4 stars Atmosphere 3 stars Service 4 stars value 4 stars Will I go back? when I'm in town, a must. I am a windsor native, but live elsewhere now. Shawarma Palace, Capri Pizza and Armandos Pizza are the 3 Windsor places I miss. This place is fantastic. Food: Food is great. Shawarma, regardless of meat is fantastic and fresh. Service: Great also--helpful to newbies making recommendations Value: Priced well. Most places charge a lot on canned soda, but their prices are reasonable. Atmosphere: here's my only ding -- dining area was clean, but bathrooms weren't. Will I go back? Absolutely. read more

Pretty good place right on Oulette street before you get to the river side. Located right on the strip next to all the clubs and bars, so it's the best spot for a bite after hours leaving the club scene..they open late as well, so always available. The quality of the food itself isn't the best, you can find much better, healthier and tastier options during regular hours, but it's the convenience of this place that makes it successful. I have been there on the grand opening and always been a customer since. Usually get the chicken shawarma which is their top seller, their wraps are huge in size and price is reasonable. Mustafa used to be the owner, a friendly and professional guy, not sure if he's still there or not..but whoever it is, the place is running well. If you're clubbing and looking for a quick light bite afterwards, this is your spot. read more

Went in at 2 am, service was a bit off as they were quick to say it's to go service only for the night. Ordered a beef shawarma plate and falafel plate and both were decent. No real complaints on the food...Hit the spot for a late night fix. Interested to see what service is like outside of late night hours, as this was reason for the lower stars. read more

Not a bad place. Ordering was a bit confusing. The plates are all listed up top, so I ordered a plate, but then someone later ordered just a pita sandwich, and they had those as well. That's actually what I wanted. I'll know for next time. Food itself wasn't bad, but I've had better. read more

We ordered over 60 dollars of food and the waiter treated us like trash... Will not come back again... We even bought food for the homeless as well as 2 of their premium plates for ourselves . BOYCOT If you had of known who we were when treating us like this your outcome would have been different .. As a downtown business we use to promote your business to people that would ask.. Now we will not mention you at all... Good job on your hospitality... read more

Open late, small restaurant on a street where all the bars and clubs are- awesome post partying meal.huge portions and reasonable price...kinda healthy ..it definitely made my next day hangover more tolerable than usual. Always ask for extra garlic sauce... because what's more awesome than garlic sauce! They will give u tabouli for free too if you just ask nicely;)!!! read more

Amazing prices, open late, flavorful food with fresh tasting ingredients. Nice open sitting area, light fixtures are pretty and it's clean inside. read more

I'm drunk... I'm in canadia... and I need food... NOW! If ever there was a better post-drink food this side of the N. America I do not know it. This is deliciousness and filling! And oddly enough you are more than likely to be bumping elbows in line for this grilled wonder with the mall rats that you saw earlier in the day just as much as you would expect with the hoochies and douches that you probably tried to cock block or hit on (depending on your persuasion) down the street at one of Windsors fine night time establishments. I should point out that these bad boys are juicy and will, if left unchecked while eating, get all over the place... again that can be good or bad depending on ones interests. lulz ;D read more

I have been going to the palace since they opened. Once a week, sometimes more... the staff are all personable, friendly and quick to serve you a wonderful meal. For a quick, cheap lunch with great portions - this is the place to go! The meat is always fresh and delicious, the garlic sauce and hummus can't be beat. I like to go right at lunch when the Falaffal is fresh from the fryer. The hours are great, for those occasional late nights when the craving hits - no matter what time of day, the service and food never disappoints. read more

Chicken plate tasted so good, probably the most delicious in 2021, and the service was amazing!

Excellent small authentic restaurant. I tried the mix shawarma meat platter it included chicken and beef, salad and potatoes or rice; with a side plate of hummas, garlic sauce, pickles and pickled turnup (I think that is what the pink things are) and a pita. It was really delcious. I also tried the spinach pie which was warm and fresh. The side of potatoes were drenched in oil, not healthy but tasty as hell! Definitely highly recommend this place. The portion sizes are very good for the price and the service was fast. read more

Very low key establishment. Friendly staff. Amazing food. I had the Mixed Shawarma Plate. Very flavorful.

great place, but not the best i've had by any means. extra emphasis on the friendlyness of the owners and guys making your plate - that alone changes my rating of 3 for the food to an overall 4. they are extremely talkative and will let you sample anything you want. if you want "certain items" that aren't included by default with your plate (i wanted roasted cauliflower) they will happily let you have it. the meat itself was VERY small portion however. read more

Have been going here since 2009 when we first started looking for our home in Windsor. This is they best Shawarma in the city. We have the 5.99 special and are always so full afterwards. The garlic sauce is perfection! And I am in love with the lentils and rice. Yum! But I think What really makes the place is the owners! They are as friendly as can be an always seem to go the extra mile to make sure you are happy! It is a great downtown spot!! read more

This would be another restaurant in Windsor where I have searched high and low for someone that can beat their food and there is no one! This is the best shwarma you will find. Period. Fresh, great toppings, well-prepared, quick service. It's all there. And the owner practically lives in the place (someone in another review said he's not there as much, anymore - not sure what they mean - I see Steve in there constantly). While I'm at it, I feel I must address some of the other negative comments: yes, the price has gone up over the years (it's called inflation folks). Try going to other shwarma shops, though. Oftentimes, a sandwich at these other places is, at least, $1.50 above what the Palace is charging. And to those who claim to be "getting sick off the food". Could it be that, since you were downtown, you might have been drinking alcohol before you went for your shwarma? Alcohol has been known to induce nausea! May want to think this through a bit before you discredit someone's business! I've never gotten sick from the place and have eaten there countless times. But I'm not a heavy drinker so that may be a factor! What impresses me most about the Palace is that it has been standing downtown for so long but hasn't lowered its standards. You can even tell that his staff is well-treated as many of them have been working there forever and there's very little turnover. Support this place, folks. Even on the busiest nights, the wait is never long. And this is the best shwarma you will ever eat. They go to pain-staking lengths to ensure it always tastes amazing. read more

Best shawarma in downtown, but not in Windsor! El-Mayor has best authentic shawarma in Windsor. Falafel is not good, very big in size which leads to being raw inside. read more

Really good shawarma here! It's very filling and you can get a combo for a good price. I had a really good experience here. The people serving me were all smiles and laughs. There used to be another shawarma restaurant almost right next to this one. It's too bad it closed, because I liked their food better. The potatoes were fresher, the garlic was creamier, and the bread was less gummy. read more

Professional staff, clean and good pricing. My number 1 shawarma place in windsor. Used to go to a different shawarma place but every time I paid the prices changed and that turned me off. Also the quality of food at shawarma palace is number 1. read more

Probably the best Shawarma in Windsor! I've been to a few other places and nothing compares. The toppings in the display are always piled high and fresh. The staff is great and they're always willing to accommodate special requests. If you're thinking of adding those small green pickled peppers to your sandwich, I would suggest getting them on the side because they tend to make the sandwich soggy. read more

Wait for it, ,,,,,,,,AWSOME is the best way to describe the shawarma I had the roasted chicken and a beef. They were AWSOME. I was working at Windsor hospital and the staff had ordered lunch. I missed the ordering, I did get to be teased by the aroma and all the raving going on at the table. I had to try this place out. I found the place and did a to go order and dragged it back to the hotel. I again was teased by the aroma that filled the car. I just finished them and they were AWSOME! I love garlic and wow. The place is very neat a spacious. The staff was AWSOME too. As what I wanted was just served 11:00 am to 2:00pm the girl working front counter talked with cook and they fixed me up! Only bummer is being a traveler they do not take Amex so travelers be prepared to whip out some cash as they do take cash! Defiantly will return on my next visit to Windsor. I do not believe they serve beer either. I had to stop at store and get somE. LOL read more

This is Windsor's best shawarma! The meat is always fresh and cooking, I've been here many times in the past and seen them replacing the meat meaning they must go through it quickly and it must always be new meat. I sometimes think about how long meat has been there in the less popular shawarma places.... The display of toppings is organized in a very appetizing manner. The glass is clean, the counter is clean. I like to get hot sauce on my shawarma and my husband likes how they warm up the shawarma on a grill to warm the bread. I am not sure if they still do this, but I wish the potatoes and rice would be heated on the steam line and not in the microwave.. They put Styrofoam plates in the microwave which is bad for your health...this was a few years ago perhaps they have stopped that. Overall they make an amazing shawarma and prices are good. It's a Windsor favourite! read more

Every time I come to Windsor to see my boyfriend, we always come to eat at Shawarma Palace at least once during my visit. The beef shawarma itself is heaven in your mouth. If you like spicy food, make sure to tell them to put hot peppers in your shawarma (definitely kicks it up a level)! We also love their garlic spread so we tell them to put extra garlic spread on it too. Just thinking about this place is making my mouth water. Lol read more

Delicious food great atmosphere for late night bites. Cannot be anything more perfect on a evening like tonight
