Reviews for Shawarma G in Guelph, ON
In the plaza for a quick grocery stop, tried this place for a takeaway lunch. Was going to order 3 falafel wraps instead ordered... two and one fries wrap. The place has a oven (wood burning?) that is non functional, but perhaps it was made for making pitas.Wishing it was active, would have bought lots of pitas on an ongoing basis. The falafel wraps were good and usual standardfare. The size good and the falafels freshly made. Tons of toppings to select and the best option Sumac, Nigella Seeds, parsley,peppermint and to top it all pomegranate sauce. The fries wrap was huge and very different from the falafel wrap we have often.The pomegranate sauce was good, but I wish I had asked for more. The two guys on the counter super nice and very accommodating.Would definitely return back and support local non franchisee stores first. Read more
This place used to be good. Always my go-to when I went out for food. Ordered a platter, they drowned the meat in sauce, and... then half way through I noticed a weird texture to the meat only to find that some of the chicken they served me was raw. I willbe calling public health if I get food poisoning. Read more
Beware of this place. Poor portions, poor time management and poor people skills. There?s better shawarma places in Guelph than... this one. The owner gives great insight into the foul people that work here, read the responses to other reviews and see howimmature they are. Imagine the mockery and disgusting customer service that comes with an attitude from a sad owner likethat. I guess anyone can try their hand at opening a ?restaurant? these days. I would be highly embarrassed to be this ownerwith this childlike mindset. And before your offer, no I am not interested in your sketchy and weird (probably illegal) ?$500giftcard? to prove my visit.

Shawarma G and I have a special relationship. I stumbled upon their restaurant when I was in my first year at the University of... Guelph, as a group of friends and I went on a drive to momentarily avoid the stresses of school. Pulling into the plaza for somegood old fashioned Tim Hortons, the restaurant stuck out to me like a leather jacket clad Aggie on campus. With its vibrantcolours and Arabic script, the sign immediately draws passerby?s in, and in my case makes them think ?What the hell is ashawarma restaurant doing in a place like this?. I figured that any place so far from the busy traffic of downtown would havesome decent quality food, so I convinced my friends to give the spot a try, and we went in. The thing that stuck out to mefirst and foremost was the Saj bread. Now I've lived in the middle east (Bahrain specifically), and all the shawarma there wasmade with Saj bread. When I came back to Canada, the pita wraps of Osmow?s and Lazeez just didn't even come close to the qualityof those shawarmas. For years and years I yearned for that original shawarma flavour, and while some restaurants like Paramountwere able to procure the bread, the taste was still lacking. So when I saw that Shawarma G wrapped their shawarmas in that goodgood, I immediately had good hopes. The first bite of that wrap transported me back to my childhood a la Anton Ego inRatatouille. The way that the sauce melded with that succulent chicken, paired with the acidic hit of the pickle, was more thanenough to have a grown man reminiscing on memories he didn't even know he had. After years of searching for that authenticshawarma experience, I had finally found it. The seasoning on the chicken was perfect, and there were crispy bits spreadthroughout the wrap. The bread was crisp and soft, swaddling the meat for the perfect bite time and time again. The saucesprovided an excellent creaminess in texture while also packing that garlicky hit that everyone loves. The components worke Read more
Great shawarma place. The interior is done very nicely. Clean. Reasonably priced. The chicken shawarma was a little different... than most other places. The chicken pieces were cut in large slices and grilled nicely. The poutine shawarma is a good too. Read more
