Best shawarma in Scarborough, no debate. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and the garlic sauce is next level. Been coming here for 10 years and it never disappoints.

The mixed grill platter is incredible value. Huge portions, everything fresh, and the falafel is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. My go-to spot on Lawrence.

Shawarma on the Rocks is a must-try. The sizzling stone keeps everything hot and the presentation is great. Quick service even during the lunch rush.
