The best shawarma.... In Canada .... Sorry but Amo Samis in dearborn MI is still the goat but just because you're not the number 1 in North America doesn't mean it isn't great we're arguing Jordan and Kobe right now. The packaging btw... A+ 10/10 . The spicy garlic... chefs kiss. My only wish... all four sides got grilled not just top and bottom. I had high hopes and it lived up to the hype read more

I had high hopes for Shelby's but felt like it was just okay, nothing spectacular. Ordered the falafel bowl over rice and salad in a regular size. Notes: - falafels were nice and crispy and well done - salad and toppings were pretty standard - hummus was good but maybe a bit too much for the portion, I would have appreciated more salad or rice instead to cut the heaviness - price at 12.99 is very reasonable - I like the crispy pita chips mixed in the bowl - service was quick and restaurant looked relatively clean with a few tables available for dine in With that said, i think there's a lot of strong contenders in this category within the city and Shelby's did not stand out for me. I will come back to try the wraps sometime! read more

Ordered lunch via Ritual. Mainly wanted just chicken (from their Extra Sides menu), each scoop at 3.99 they give you that in value. Quick service, large space, nonstop traffic. Recommended. I'll try something else (maybe their chicken bowl next time). read more

Shelby's Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

They know what they are doing with this one. I am impressed by many of Shelby's offerings. It begins right at the door. You are given a good impression by the nice branding and design of the place's signage, wallpaper, etc. Everything is professionally done. The place looks very well maintained and stylish. Careful thought was given to portray a certain modern vibe. Even the order receipt has a short write-up about ketchup that is easy to miss for those who are not paying attention. Service was also good. The person taking my order was very patient and polite in waiting for my order. Employee training is not lacking at all. The food was equally amazing. Their shawarma comes in Shelby's branded carton packaging. There is an easy to open pulltab that makes eating the shawarma easy and not messy. And, they do not even have to, but there is a wet napkin provided for the customer to clean up after. The shawarma is stuffed, and the meat with sauce is savory. Overall, I am extremely impressed. I would not think twice about recommending this shawama place. read more

Food was great and a lot better than expected! I was craving a good shawarma and this place followed through. I didn't expect the crispy yet chewy texture of the wrap that I loved. Service it's self-order at the kiosk then you simply go up to pick it up when they call your order. Ambiance was laid back and not too loud with minimal seating area. I do recommend however it might be difficult finding a seat to dine in. read more

HUGE shawarma for a really good price! This place has really interesting fusion options, like mac & cheese shawarma. Loved the bacon halloumi shawarma. Great garlicky sauce (definitely not a dry wrap), lots of protein (I got chicken, which was super flavorful), and nice addition of crispy fries too. I wish there was more halloumi though! It felt like the whole wrap had 2 small pieces total. The wrap itself is also super yummy -- really thin and light. It's a huge portion so super filling and satisfying! Also love how customizable it is. Service at this location is self order on a kiosk, and food does take a bit of time to come out. Staff are friendly. Very limited seating inside but it's super clean. read more

We ordered the beef and lamb shawarma bowl with spicy garlic sauce on rice and Shelby's salad. This bowl was super tasty. The spicy garlic and hot sauce hit just right. They did not skimp on the beef and lamb shawarma either. And the rice was very tasty. There were crunchy pita chips as well adding flavour and texture to the salad mix. And of course super creamy hummus and tahini to top everything off. The bowl is quite filling. read more

This Shawarma chain is such a hit on social media that I actually heard of it via someone abroad, who urged me to try it. Their advertising is pretty funny, but their menu is also creative, with some fusion dishes. And the shawarma is pretty good, too. Traditional wrap with beef & lamb was pretty good. The packaging of the wrap was good: slick yet practical - definitely a cut above that of other shawarma places. There was a lot of meat which tasted decent & it had a nice torched exterior. Legendary bowl with chicken on fattoush salad & fried cauliflower was good. The fried cauliflower & fattoush salad were both pretty good, though I had to top up for the former. The chicken was decent & there was a lot of it. The turnip (free add on) was decent (pretty standard) & the garlic sauce was potent. Both chicken & beef and lamb were cut thicker & were higher quality meat than that at other shawarma places. Also tried the churros. Those weren't so good - they were very chewy & had a flavour less rich than that of regular churros. Stick to the Spanish/Mexican version. read more

Overall, I felt that this place is lacking a bit of service in terms of customer attentiveness. The decor that's going for what I feel is a more modern minimalistic vibe. The shawarma wrap that I got was great! read more

I was so excited to try the famous Shelby's for the first time and really enjoyed their basic wrap. The lamb beef mix was actually a little too strong in taste for me but I loved the sauces, potatoes, and gorgeous saj bread. For sure would try their chicken options instead next time. Also love the component the wrap comes in, super convenient for to go and for keeping leftovers. read more

I won't call it one of the best but it's really good. The prices are bit higher compared to average middle eastern restaurants serving shawarmas. Flavors are really good and they make fresh bread which is a big one. We try to go there once on every trip to canada. read more

I got a falafel bowl to go and didn't love it. I requested sauce on the side which didn't happen so I basically got a tiny bit of lettuce and WAY too much sauce smothered over the whole meal. I think there was more sauce then there was even lettuce. If you like saucy bowls you may like this, my bf really enjoyed their protein bowls on rice. read more

On a recent trip to Canada, after hearing all the social media buzz about Shelby's Shawarma, we decided to check it out--and it did not disappoint! My son and I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, while my wife went for the chicken shawarma bowl. Both were fantastic--juicy, flavorful, and incredibly fresh. Every bite was packed with delicious spices and tenderness. The food definitely lives up to the hype! What made the experience even better was the warm hospitality. I had a quick chat with the store manager, Anjith, and when he found out we had traveled from the US and were first-time visitors, he surprised my son with a freshly made churro on the house. It was a sweet and thoughtful gesture that made us feel so welcome. Shelby's is definitely on our list for a return visit, and we can't wait to explore more of their outlets in the future. If you're in Canada, Shelby's is a must-try! read more

Good Shawarma, full of meat, crispy. Came in a well organized box which you can eat out of.

Service is great. Food is generally good. I ordered a bowl and the order had very little of the protein (chicken) and was largely all fries and vegetables. read more

The food was AMAZING! The service was beyond excellent. They went far and beyond accommodating me being out of town and did not have any Canadian dollars. The manager made sure that my first time visit was memorable with the quality of the food and service. I would highly recommend this to my friends and family if they ever find themselves in that area. Thanks again to the management and staff. I do hope your chain makes it to Southern California. You guys would kill in SoCal! read more

If you want a fusion version of shawarma, this might appeal to you, but didn't do it for me, and even their traditional shawarma wrap has way too much sauce for my taste. Staff was friendly but they got my order wrong, giving me 2 beef wraps instead of a beef and chicken wrap. Really liked their bread though, and the portions are filling with great value for money. Limited amount of seating inside. read more

Went to the Shelby off of Lawrence Ave E. It was great. Had the Brotien Shawwarma and chicken boutine. Also had a bebsi, can't forget about the bebsi. Staff was friendly and nice. Area looked a little sketchy but safe enough. read more

I ordered their bites box with falafel and chipotle sauce. I ordered online about 1hr before the scheduled pickup time and went straight to their store around the time. At around 5pm on a Saturday afternoon, there were about 5 people in-line waiting for their order. Seems for them most orders come from delivery apps because I kept seeing Uber eats order coming in on their screens. There are places to sit down and eat but they are definitely more of a takeout/delivery restaurant. There are also some machines inside so you can place an order without going to the counter. Unfortunately my food was somehow mistook by people came before me. But when they learned about it they quickly prepared a new order for me on the spot in ~5min without any problem. I was slightly disappointed but again this is not really their fault. But maybe don't place your order way too ahead The food was amazing. It's my first time trying falafel shawarma wraps and fell in love immediately. Slightly disappointed because unlike the picture online, my order did not come in a box but just regular plastic bowl, with fries on the top and wraps on the bottom. But again they didn't promise that the food will look exactly like pictures and nothing is missing so I'm okay with it. read more

Service was nice, got to order via tablet. Limited menu, not too crowded, not really a line. The food was good, loved za pickles on the chicken shawarma. Although it was definitely 60% sauces, the chicken was okay and not bad. Fries were top tier, easily one of the best fries I had. Menu could use some adjustments. Distance was not too far, but not local. Overall 6.7/10 read more

We made the wrong order. Nischal, one of the servers, was kind enough to change our order. The food is pretty good.

The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is tahini's. I would recommend Shelby's no doubt food taste excellent for your buck

This is the best shawarma in Canada , hands down I love it . My kids go crazy for his food aswell I recommend to all my friends the service and quality of food is amazing . Great place to dine out read more

Absolutely za best in za west. The falafel is amazing and customer service is great. Edit: I went in for the second time to try their shawerma. One of the bearded guys that work here started stalking me as I was leaving and followed me to my car. He confronted me and started yelling at me for no reason. Told me to never come to his restaurant ever again. Unfortunately I can't change the rating for this post anymore. Despite the rude behavior, the shawerma was amazing, especially when you dip it with some ketchup. Note: this post above is just a joke. None of this actually happened. This place is amazing though and food/service is good for real. read more

Should not be listed as a dine in. This location also has no AC or bathrooms. The shawarmas are not amazing, I don't understand why this place has high ratings at all. read more

I just went to the Queen and Spadina location in Toronto and was blown away. My husband, son and I thought the customer service was above and beyond. They were just so friendly and helpful! The restaurant was clean and welcoming. Most importantly though, the food was absolutely delicious!!! We all had different menu items and each one of us agreed it was the best shawarma we'd ever tasted. We will be back for sure!! read more

Just came to the new location in Vaughan. The menu is awesome and the staff is super quick since they have so many on the line. Great place ! read more

pretty decent meat variety n they put fries in your shawarma. little pricey at like 12$+.

Great Shawarma. You should try it for sure. The manager is nice. When I visit again, it will be my first choice to try it again

The portions are insulting. I've tried the "legendary" bowl three times now and the third was the last time. Supposedly it's a "double" serving of protein, but each time, the amount of chicken has been a quarter (at most!) of what you'd get in a regular platter at any other restaurant, and at twice the price. I never thought I'd be the kind of person who posts a review of a restaurant - this is the first time I've even been tempted, and it's because of what a consistent absolute rip-off this place is. If you've got money to waste and want a tonne of rice with hummus, pickles, and five little bites of chicken, go for it, I guess. read more

Food could have been better and it definitely wasn't "legendary". There is far better shawarma in the area just a few blocks away. Most importantly, however, the food left our whole group ill. Portion size was okay and service was nice even though you just order on a computer. Place was packed with people with no sitting room. read more
