One of the most authentic dining experiences in Brandon when it comes to food and atmosphere. Once I am eating delicious chicken shawarma with homemade baklava for dessert and listening my country's music, I feel I'm returning to my hometown. Very clean, cozy dining environment. Staff are always extremely polite and welcoming. Even though they face rude customers, they were still smiling. Very nice people. I highly recommend this place if you haven't tried it!
Today was my first time with my family in this establishment and the last time! 1. very dirty, the floor, dirty showcase ,and the interior itself needs repair! 2. I do not advise taking drinks from the machine, Pepsi smelled very strongly of chlorine, you need to put a filter on the water from the tap!!! 3. the service was average, the woman was not friendly, and it seems that she has problems with understanding customers! as she very rudely replied that everyone should eat their own dish and not share it, which was very strange because we each ordered 4 dishes for 4 people!!!!! 4. I would say the prices are average, for 4 we spent about $ 80, but I would not pay that much for such dishes! 5. We no longer trust Google ratings because in practice everything is completely different, unfortunately! I don't understand if the people who wrote such good reviews have never eaten truly delicious shawarma or sat in clean and cozy establishments with pleasant waiters!?
Shawarma Queen is an absolute treasure in Brandon. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the warmest smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The food? Simply out of this world! Their shawarma is perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavors that will make your taste buds dance. The sides and sauces complement the main dishes so well, making every bite a delight. But what truly sets Shawarma Queen apart is the owner. They’re not just running a restaurant; they’re creating a community. Every visit feels like catching up with an old friend because the owner is always eager for a friendly conversation. They genuinely care about their customers, asking about your day and ensuring you have the best dining experience possible. It’s this personal touch that makes Shawarma Queen more than just a place to eat—it’s a place to feel at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food and heartfelt hospitality!
One of the more authentic dining experiences in Brandon when it comes to food and atmosphere. Owner is always extremely polite and welcoming, and tries to remember his returning customers. Big portions so come hungry.
I have tried shawarma all over Canada, and this one was by far my favorite! The meat is moist, the ingredients are fresh and crunchy! The flavour is out of this world. The chicken marinate and the garlic sauce! My friend partner got the lamb donair and got the large and I kid you not it was the size of an Italian loaf! Well priced and worth every bite! Will be coming back and unhealthy amount!
Had a wonderful dinner here. The food was great with generous amount of serving. Will definitely come back here. The staff are great as well.
I'm SO GLAD I found this place! I was wondering how I'd be able to sit down and have a couple pounds of assorted meats, and lo and behold, Shawarma Queen pops up on my Google maps. We were greeted by a very friendly host, who went on to explain the various dishes and sauces, how they were all fresh and homemade. He wasn't wrong. Everything here was fantastic! The lamb, butter chicken, chicken shawarma, donairs meat, EVERYTHING was great. If you haven't tried Shawarma Queen, you really, really should.
Perfect place to spend your meal time, great food, and large meals, so you get more than you pay for, I've been eating here for the last 2 years and never had any problems with the food or the service. 100% recommend this place! (Only thing is, some times waiting time is long)
Amazing Shawarma right here in Brandon. Ive had shawarma around the world and this is just as delicious as Ive had in the Middle East. Kyle is a warm welcoming owner who puts the effort in to make great food.
AWESOME, WE LOVE IT HERE. One of our FAVORITE places
I Eat here all the time, the food is amazing! The owner and workers were very nice, friendly and helpful. Was clean and well looked after inside. When I take it to go it s always wrapped well and stays warm in foil. Great takeout containers too. Eating in is great, especially the buffet! The buffet just as good as the made to order meals with the same quality and flavour! The meat is always juicy and cooked perfectly and vegetables are fresh. Tried the Greek salad recently and it was divine. My daughter really enjoys eating here, our favourite restaurant in town that never fails to impress! Parking: Easily accessible parking lot with plenty of spaces. Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves the food and there are good options for them.
Very good and tasty food. Staff is also very friendly would definitely recommend this place
I order lamb shawarma and it was so bad. Meat wasnt cooked properly. It is so expensive and taste was . We noticed, the man there has very rude behaviour with the delivery guys. Always long wait. Food : 1/5
Absolutely love the food here the staff are great and kind
Excellent food, great portion sizes, fair prices and super friendly customer service! Well worth stopping in for a meal anytime I am in the Brandon!!
Good food good service
Horrible experience. was treated extremely poorly.As a food review person.I took a picture of the menu and some dishes.The owner who works in the back accused me of taking pictures of her she called the police made false allegations .She also refused to give me the food I paid for.The server was rude and disrespectful.Honestly the worse experience in 40 years I never had at a restaurant.Obviously the owners claim was diss proven and the police wasted time and energy very sad Horrible experience I was treated extremely poorly. As a food critic. I took a photo of the menu and some of the dishes. The owner who works in the back accused me of taking photos of her, called the police and made false allegations. She also refused to give me the food I paid for. The server was rude and disrespectful. Honestly, the worst experience Ive ever had in 40 years in a restaurant. Clearly the owners claim was proven and the police wasted time and energy. very sad Kid-friendliness: Extremely unkind rude disrespectful owner and server The owner is a liar to make things even worse. I showed the police the pictures. They agreed with me only pictures of the menu and food was taken. I have class and respect. No the police did not ban me neither. They told me you the owner does not want me back. Further more the server was telling customers that he was paying me to take pictures and do a review. Absolutely pathetic for this lady to tell lies
i was a regular customer . i was eating buffet that day, i saw a man was shooting a video of a lady who work at front. and owner was trying to tell him to remove the video. he refused and treaten him by bad review on google. he also tried to be close to the lady and point his finger on her face. he was very rude to that lady. then someone called police to take him.
Very friendly people good food, Kid-friendliness: Very friendly staff They are amazing with kids and keep the place very clean Food : 5/5 |
great place to eat for students and family with affordable price
Very impressed visiting! Food was delicious and service was beyond! I have gluten and dairy allergies. The lady who took my order was very patient listening my concern and providing me with several options and suggestions. The portion is huge, I left half of the shawarma for tomorrow lunch. Yummy!

One of my favourite places to eat in Brandon
As we are from out of town, we found this place and decided to check it out based on the 4.9 rating. While the staff were friendly, the person taking our order was not overly helpful or knowledgeable on the menu. It was an incredibly painful process to get in our order for 2 people and honestly wasn t sure what we were going to get. When we got the food, my dish was plastered with the garlic sauce which, had I known, I wouldn t have ordered a side of the sauce for an additional fee and never touched. The 1lb side of meat seemed like an amazing idea, my brother ordered a side of beef that ended up being a pile of over cooked beef donair pieces. There were other beef options that he could have had if he knew OR if the person taking our order had asked him. I m going to chalk it up to a really bad night on their part but we won t be back in Brandon anytime soon to give them a second chance.
Food was high in sodium. I had beef donair rice bowl. Quantity and taste was good but too salty. After an hour of eating, I ended up drinking 1 litre of water before bedtime. It was Hypernatremia and caused excess thirst. Mention about less salt before ordering.
Such a wonderful place! Customer service was excellent, the owner helped me order, spent time with me and was so kind- even though they were extremely busy! The food was very tasteful and prepared to perfection! I will definitely be back! Thank you so much!
Mmmm very good food.

Shawarma Queen is hands down one of our favorite restaurants in Brandon! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. But what truly sets this place apart is the owner wholesome, hardworking, and welcoming. You can feel the care and love that goes into every dish, and it keeps us coming back again and again. If youre looking for amazing shawarma served with a big heart, this is the place!

Best shawerma ever!!
Food was amazing like always
10/10 Excellent Parking: Available
Had the dinner buffet.Overall , buffet was ok.I found some things which they need to improve. They call chicken pieces in sugar sauce butter chicken .Some kind of pita bought from grocery store was given saying it is naan. Grilled meat skewers were put in some kind of watery sauce and they were soggy and tasteless.Waitress has an attitude and is rude , so if you need something, just skip the waitress and ask the owner directly as he is helpful.
Wraps are delicious and customer service is beyond expectations. Very good atmosphere and staff is very helpful and welcoming.
Love the lamb poutine.
Always gives a warm and welcoming smile as you walk in A huge thank you for coming in In my opinion the BEST in Manitoba!!! Exceptional flavour in every dish served Food : 5/5 |

Best Donair Ive had in a very long time!!!
Food was good, service was just EXTREEEMELY slow. Needed to be somewhere, so was looking for a place to get a meal and go but it took so long. Waited 30 minutes for a platter. Not coming back here EDIT: it took 45 minutes to get 2 chicken platters, and that s not even what we ordered. Boss said chicken platters will take faster so we went for that instead. Plus, no fries?? The only other option they had was baked potatoes????
This place is absolutely amazing! The service was wonderful and I believe the owner was so kind. Portions are filling, you definitely leave feeling full! Would highly recommend!! Kid-friendliness: My daughters loved every minute being here!
Always wonderful. The owner is a tireless and wonderful person who is always ready with a smile. The food is fantastic every time and they customize how you like. We come back again and again! Parking: In a strip mall with plenty of parking. Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entrance.
The food is incredible, you won t be disappointed! Great service as well. Nice little Brandon Gem!
