When you enter, you have to order via the computers to your right. We got two Abba's mix smoothies because it caught my eye. It's a beautiful rainbow color. It was too sweet though. My daughter and I shared a beef shawarma bowl with half salad, half rice. She said it had too much beef and not enough cheese so I ate most of the beef. The rice looked like shredded carrots. My husband had the Shelby's famous boutine and my son had a shawarma bowl with fries. The saj bread was excellent! Service was great and the owner also stopped by to ask how our food was. I thought that was nice. My son likes the food here and was excited to come. I think we didn't know how to order and added too much sauce to the bowl. Will be back to try again. read more

I ordered the legendary mixed meat. I noticed the beef was so dry. Friendly staff. Quick service. Nice area. But am not so wow of it. Tastes the same as Witt other shawarma place. read more

They had a BOGO promo on Uber Eats for their shawarma rice bowl. Shawarma isn't usually my go-to for dinner but this was a nice surprise. The portions were pretty big, I even had some leftovers for lunch the next day. Lots of protein and toppings with the rice. I have had some pretty dry shawarma but the meat was cooked perfectly and everything was very flavourful. I wouldn't hesitate to order here again! read more

I saw this place when I went to D-spot and came back to try it after a work out. I was starving. Walked on and the inside is great, nice set up, places to sit and eat and an impressive menu of items. I ordered the garlic potato bowl. Service was friendly and they were really fast! Everything came out hot and fresh and looked and smelled amazing! The potatoes were ok, not crispy, kind of soggy, with a little hint of garlic. Getting a bite of potato and the hummus and a bit of chicken was a yummy bite. The hummus was delicious, the garlic sauce wasn't great and the chicken shawarma on top was very sparse and there were so many fatty pieces. The chicken shawarma itself I don't find flavourful. That being said, I think I ordered the wrong thing. I will have to go back and try a wrap or a plate to fully appreciate the food here! read more

The restaurant has tablets for which you place your order. If there's no line you can walk up to the cashier and they will do your order there. The food is on the definitely the expensive side and the portion is kind of small. I definitely had much larger and more filling Shawarma for less money. We went to try as there was lots of talk about Shelby's legendary Shawarma especially with all these stores popping around. The food I would say is very middle ground. Not amazing and not bad. Will definitely fit your Shawarma cravings if this is the closest one to you. The restaurant had a bunch of tables and is pretty clean from what I remember they either did not have music or they played it very low volume. When I went, there wasn't too many other people so we took it to go. read more

Nice atmosphere with a good buzz. The flavours and intensity of them I really enjoyed in the chicken shawarma bowl. It was actually my wife who complained that the portion size is too small and she actually had to have another meal later to compensate. Portion size in comparison to other shawarma places that offer a box instead of a circular shallow bowl. read more

I tried this place because I heard a lot about it. I ordered a regular chicken shawarma wrab. First, I will compliment the cashier, upon seeing I was dining in and after giving me my order, he quickly wiped one of the tables so I could sit on a clean table. That's one extra star given. Otherwise on to the food which is already high at 1 star at best. I don't know why this place is so highly rated. I saw another review that they came and had a horrible experience but came back numerous times only then to be satisfied and to give this place many tries. I'm sorry, that won't happen here. I will describe the wrab as they call it, it had a funky smell and taste to it right from the get go. The chicken shawarma was borderline gross and sickening. The meat was literally dark brown and closer to the black scale. Now btw I love wraps. But, I will not be coming here again for their wrabs and I won't give them another chance just to see their other offerings and maybe like it. I will stick to a Greek souvlaki or gyros on a pita, as it is 1000 times better than this absolutely gross chicken shawarma wrab. read more

IF IT'S NOT TIGHT, IT'S NOT RIGHT! Shawarma man was literally all over my youtube feed after I watched ONE Shelby's vid. Dude is hilarious I'll give him that. The food also looked incredible from the videos he was shooting. I had been to Shelby's flagship in Oakville in the past so I was hoping that this location would live up as it's fairly new. It didn't disappoint! While I still prefer the Oakville location, this one is close enough to me in terms of distance. The place is absolutely packed most days still so when I order here I usually order ahead and do pickup. I've tried the legendary wrap, legendary bowl, shawarma mac n' cheese and also the limited time shawarma tikka masala. All very good. HUGE portion sizes. The tikka masala came w/ fresh saj bread on the side so the leftover rice lasted me for 2 meals (and I'm a pretty big eater). Mac n' cheese was just ok imo. I don't think I'd order it again cuz the noodles were a lil overcooked. The chipotle sauce was good but overall, the dish was a lil too salty for my liking. I will be returning to try the shawarma biryani! Shoutout to Raj for helping me w/ speedy pickup when I arrived! read more

Heard about all the hype of Shelby's to had to see what everyone was raving about. My first time I got one of the bacon shawarma wraps (not sure if it was bacon halloumi or bacon caesar) but it was not good for my palette at all. It tasted very strong of spices and I actually couldn't finish the wrap since I didn't enjoy the taste of it at all. However, I did give it a second chance and went back to try their beef/ lamb wrap which came with beef and lamb, wrapped in a baked saj bread stuffed with fries, pickles, tomatoes, sumac onions, tahini, hummus, and regular or spicy garlic. This time around it was much better than the first and would get this again. I didn't think it was as amazing as everyone said it was but can understand why it was so tasty and why everyone loved it. Packed with flavours and nicely wrapped. Give it a try, and maybe try more than one thing before making your judgement on if this place is good or not. read more

A couple of friends have been raving about how yummy Shelby's Legendary Shawarma is. One friend loves getting a shawarma wrap from this place. The other likes getting the shawarma bowl. They order from this place weekly. Over a week ago, we decided to have dinner together and order in at their business. We ordered from Uber Eats. I got to share a bit of the legendary Shelby's chicken wrap with spicy garlic sauce and turnips. I ordered the regular chicken shawarma bowl with garlic sauce and turnips. We got it delivered. It took maybe twenty minutes tops for our food to arrive. We then chowed down. I got to sample the chicken shawarma wrap. It was yummy. The spicy garlic sauce provided a subtle kick to the wrap. There were generous chunks of tender, flavourful chicken, with turnips, tomatoes, and more. I loved it. I also loved my chicken shawarma bowl so much that I ate it all and didn't take any photos. Ugh! I got it with half fries and half salad as my base. It was perfect. The fries were crispy and yummy. The salad satisfied my cravings. The garlic sauce was so good with everything, including the generous morsels of chicken that I got. This eatery takes over from the old Teriyaki Experience location. It's another bittersweet change. I had been going to this eatery for over a decade and miss it already. Seating is limited. Shelby's basically extended the kitchen space out from where it used to be with Teriyaki Experience. Seating is closest to windows. I'm happy that Shelby's is in Markham. The food is excellent. I'll be back to get another bowl and hope that I'll remember to take photos before I devour my food!

Decent taste but feels like the skimp on the portion size. Got the extra meat portion and still didnt seem as much as regular size bowl at other places read more

I've been to Shelby's Shawarma before and usually go for the shawarma wraps, but I decided to try the beef and lamb bowl this time--and loved it! Definitely one of the better shawarma spots in the city. I'd recommend others give it a try too. read more

This is the best shawarma I have eaten. The warps are made fresh to order and they load it with your protein of choice. The service was a little slow as it took a while to get my wrap but it was worth the wait. The interior is quite small but there is still ample seating. read more

If you're looking for a shawarma place with quality and good value, then you have to try Shelby's. I got their Mixed Bowl Legendary (lamb and beef) with rice and fries, I cannot express in words how flavourful this combination tasted. The meat tasted very juice and the sauces gave it a little kick, but balances it out with the hummus. For a legendary size meal under $20, this was absolutely value in my eyes. The Legendary Bowl is really big, so if you don't plan to save for next day, I would suggest regular size. The service here is what really would bring me back again. They have machines where you can order directly there and a screen to track your order. It is one of the better ones I've seen handling big crowds (yes, this place can get busy!). I went on Happy Shawarma Day where it was half price and orders had at least 1.5 hour wait. They handled it like a champ. They were willing to give a call back when your order is ready so the place won't get crowded. It's the little things that make the experience great and they nailed it! Kudos to the owner. Will I come back again when craving for some shawarma? Heck ya! read more

Tried the classic shawarma wrap. Flavors were good, and the meat was fresh. Portions were about average, a little on the smaller side. Prices were about average. read more

I really like Shelby's! I've ordered from Uber Eats with their BOGO offer, and I've also visited in store. They really care about quality and have very friendly service. The chicken tastes great! I love the ambience and vibe of the store with the bright orange and quirky messaging which aligns with their social media marketing. Will be back! read more

The flavor was awful. The sauces tasted old. We ordered the shawarma and biryani bowl and we threw them out as they tasted terrible

I've only ever ordered the Bacon Halloumi wrap from this franchise and I have never been disappointed. It is phenomenal, from the bacon, to the chunks of halloumi, to the saaj wrap. I order takeout online, and it is reliably ready before the order time so I'm able to pick it up when I arrive. The inside of the restaurant does have available seating, and it is very much like a fast food spot with the open kitchen and simple seating by the ordering kiosks. I have returned and will be returning in the future. Maybe next time I'll remember to take a picture before eating! read more

This place is great for your quick fix to shawarma. Lots to select from in the toppings are relatively generous. Pricing seems relatively fair, especially when you compare to the inflating prices around town. While we don't have it often, if we're having shawarma, and this will probably be our go-to in Markham! read more

Absolutely Awful, very chewy meet, dry, so expensive for so little. Service wasnt that bad.

Love how the wraps are in their own cardboard packaging, great for eating on the go. Been here a couple times now and ordered something different every time and every time it's hits the spot. Definitely in my top 3 Shwarma spots read more

Delicious food, I especially like the Shelby Wrap and the guava drink, and the people are friendly

Disgusting soggy lettuce bag salad sold as 'fattoush' with an italian dressing. Maybe not give arabic food a curry twist or don't call this sad salad a fattoush. Straight up robbery read more

First time trying Shelby's and I thought the food tastes great! And service and ambiance were nice!

Food amazing. Service even better. Their beef incomparable. Ambiance is quite nice. Must try. Thank you.
