A Must-Try Kingston Gem My recent visit to this shawarma spot left a strong, positive impression. I ordered the falafel wrap, and while the flavor was excellent, the falafel itself was a touch undercooked in the center. However, this minor issue was a small blip in an otherwise great experience. The quality of the ingredients truly stood out—everything tasted fresh and clean. The dedication to using high-quality components is evident and sets this place apart. The restaurant was spotless, which is always a good sign. Tried their garlic potatoes on side also you cant go wrong with that. Despite the slight issue with the falafel, the overall quality and cleanliness make this a must-try restaurant in Kingston. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to try more of the menu. ( somewhat difficult to find street parking ).

From the second you step inside, the staff treat you like family—super friendly, attentive, and always ready to make sure you have a fantastic meal. They know their regulars, and even if it’s your first time, they welcome you like an old friend. And let’s talk about the food—wow! Their shawarma is the star of the show, bursting with flavor in every bite. You can tell they use the freshest ingredients and put a lot of love into their food.

This place truly deserves a 5-star rating! We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent quality of their shawarma and the warm, friendly service. We ordered one chicken platter and one mixed platter, both served with salad and garlic sauce on the side — everything was delicious.

I had a big craving for shawarma and came to Shawarma Dubai, and it was a great decision. Not only did it take my craving away, but everything was great, I got a small wrap combo; the wrap was delicious and well served (lots of chicken, very generous portions), the potato’s were amazing (try the spicy garlic sauce and the garlic sauce with it) and last, the staff was great, Moustapha attended me and he was very polite, explained to me what some stuff were and made suggestions (I gladly took on his suggestions). Great food, awesome service. I’ll for sure be coming back.

According to Reddit this is the favorite Shawarma place in Kingston. I ordered the mix platter and large wrap combo. Both were very jumbo serving, very filling. The beef seems fake and more sausage style, I wouldn't recommend.. But the chicken is terrific. Not as good as some Shawarma places in Ottawa, but still incredibly satisfying. Service was fast and friendly. Inside seating available. I recommend.

I had the pleasure of coming across this small shawarma joint in downtown Kingston. I found that they give large portions for your order which is a huge pro for me to visit. The food is great and they have a large selection of toppings and sauces. The building is relatively small so it gets full quick when there is a line. I recommend calling ahead or ordering online for pick up or delivery. I would visit again and recommend others to try out the food at this establishment!

Such good food! We ordered a large combo and small shawarma. Really good portion sizes, filled the wraps up with lots toppings and meat. The staff were super friendly, kept handing us potatoes to eat while we were ordering and even gave us extra potatoes with the combo since he overheard we were gonna share them! Definitely worth the price and visit :)

Best shawarma in Kingston, best food for the buck, best amount of food for the buck. Staff is amazing. I've had the chicken shawarma bowl with the off the chart potatoes and I've had the chicken shawarma wrap. Both where excellent. The bowl I couldn't finish. I highly recommend this place ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ . I put the bowl in my own and mixed it up.
