Manouche Express Shawarma and Falafel
Very friendly staff. It's a small place, so it's best to take to go but you can eat right outside the door. The chicken shawarma with garlic and hot sauce was fantastic. The lentil soup was made in house and tasted amazing. I would definitely recommend this place.
I haven’t been to Manouche in two years and after returning , I’ve noticed a huge decline in the flavours and quality of the food. I was a big fan and now I’m so disappointed. Something has changed- it felt like a completely different restaurant, lacking the authenticity and quality that I used to love. The mutabal was grainy and lacked flavour and the salad was like going to Subway. It’s too bad. Service was lovely as always.
Sandwiched between couple of big places, this small space restaurant provides amazing meal options Great authentic taste of food with portions enough as full meal serving both ur hunger as well as taste buds Food prepared with love and affection served with a smile and always been asked about taste style and levels of spices. Customized to your needs. Though space is cramped but very nicely organized and perfectly clean Love it overall
I usually don’t have high hopes for middle eastern places outside of Paterson ,but Manouche was just as great! A fresh, authentic, & satisfying mixed grill for an unbeatable price! Absolutely ordering more often ,being that they’re close to home ♥️
Bar far the best chicken shawarma poutin that I’ve had in Guelph. The portions are huge and the food is very fresh. Definitely going back again. The staff are very nice and helpful. Overall very satisfied!
I love their shawarma sauce. It is good and similar to Osmow's. Students of the University of Guelph also get good value deals at this food place. I didn't see the half fries and half rice chicken shawarma option available in their menu, but good thing the person serving our food was kind enough to accommodate that configuration. The place is small and there is not a lot seating available to dine in. We situated ourselves by the lone table with 2 seats near the door. By the time we were finishing up our meal, I did appreciate the person over the counter being kind enough to check up with us and ask how the food was.
Made a quick stop for a bite to eat. Was not dissapointed with the decision. Fast friendly service. Tasty food. Reasonably sized portions for a good price. Took it over to a picnic table at the park across to eat.
Good flavors, big serving of their platters and friendly staff! Although the place is a little bit small (it's clean tho!), no wonder people still go and buy their food in here and just take it out. Quality of the food taste amazing. Their chicken, beef and lamb taste bomb! Add the greek salad and youll be so full for the rest of the day! Keep it up!
The people here are super kind and the food is fantastic and well priced.

Very nice staff and great 10 percent off.
Very friendly service! Unassuming from the outside but it s quite nice and clean inside. Not a ton of seats for dining in but it s right by the park so we got takeout for a nice lunch by the water.
Great experience! Super friendly staff, and the food is delicious. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Good value for money food. We bought plate and shawarma sandwich. Unlike other places, food was prepared with care. Definitely now our go to place for shawarmas in guelph!
Some of the juiciest chicken I ve had in a shawarma. I m sad I was driving while eating it because I couldn t get a chance to fully enjoy it. The cashier was also really lovely and asked me about my day. This is on my favourites list now and I hope I can be in Guelph more often to stop by
Good stuff
The food,atmosphere 1!: the service was so good . This place also provide student discounts .
Food was too salty and customer service was too rude. I ordered tandoori shawarma and the food wasn t too good. I recommend guys not to visit this place again.
Such a lovely place with some persian taste . I highly recommend it to persian who are interested in Felafel or Sambuseh
Nice and clean and food is delicious service of SHAMI is amazing I recommends if you like to eat sharwama please go and try you will enjoy it again I thanks to Shami for her good service. Sohail Khan. Food
Falafel wraps very delicious you must try
Excellent spot for shawarma! The customer service is always top-notch!
I love the falafel! Best falafel in the city, hands down. Place is clean, food is fresh. Come here almost every week. Highly recommend.
I like the taste
I ordered the gyro wrap and fries! Great food, friendly staff. Highly recommended if youre looking for a quick and tasty meal.
Chicken on Stix Heaven is a must-visit! Their chicken skewers are juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. The Garlic Parmesan and Spicy Sriracha varieties are standouts. The fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and casual atmosphere make it a great spot for a quick, delicious meal. Don t miss out!
Trash store dont go in there
this is so awesome and delicious! thank you.
Super nice guy, good music!
I have always loved this place but today was awful. There was no chicken cooking on the roaster - the chicken was reheated on the flat top and tasted awful. I threw away half my wrap because it was inedible. You can t reheat meat and tell me it s fresh. Won t be back.
Great food. Fresh squeezed mango and orange juice. Fantastic
Definitely a place if you like chicken shawarma. Theres tandoori chicken that is amazing as well
Great tasty food and friendly!
Lovely Persian family, Generous portions. Food is great best shawarma in guelph
Awesome chicken shawarma
Very nice guy best food and shawarm is the best
Yummy it was really good and great customer service
The tandoori chicken wrap was great.
Best shawarma. Super friendly staff. They even let me put falafel into my chicken shawarma wrap. 10/10 will eat again
Really good place for Mediterranean food, been there twice now and both times have had excellent dishes. Friendly as well.
This place has seriously gone down hill. We were there yesterday for shawarma wraps. The chicken wasn t fresh, just reheated leftovers on the flat top. The 2 employees were arguing the entire time. We re unlikely to go back. They are bribing people for 5 star google reviews (which is against the rules). If the food was better the good reviews would come naturally.
Great falafel wraps!
Super friendly customer service and delicious food. My go to shawarma in Guelph!! Make sure to get extra garlic sauce.
Very friendly staff. Great food.
Awesome food and good service
Manouche: A Humble beast. Before I go into describing, the absolute marvel of a meal I acquired at Manouche; I would urge the readers to consider a few things about me as a consumer and a Shawarma Connoisseur. I have lived in 3 continents (including the middle east and northern african region), and chased shawarma wraps all my life. The first bite I had of a Shawarma, was at a heritage hotel in India at age 10, that changed my life forever and I havent turned back. Also, my Canadian hometown is Ottawa, that has often been boasted as the Shawarma capital of North America by my people. But most importantly, I dont write food reviews, so very my effort here has to speak towards the exuberance of my experience at Manouche. The restaurant itself epitomizes the phrase hole in the wall joint, a humble front, waiting to engulf you in a sensory experience of flavors. True to the narrative of hole in the wall culinary genius; the food at manouche excels in its authenticity, flavor and truly MAJOR points for freshness of ingredients and spices. The sincerity with which the food is prepped speaks to the passion of wanting to serve quality; by the team in the kitchen at Manouche. My first bite into the mixed Shawarma Wrap at Manouche, and I was transported to age 10, when my mother first introduced me to what then was called an Authentic Arabian Shawarma, at the Jehan-Numa Palace Hotel in my home town of Bhopal India. (And this particular Shawarma had been a top contender, despite of my adventures and many wraps annihilated, even from some of the world famous joints in the middle east) Quite the Disneys Ratatouille moment if you ask me - when the esteemed food critic takes a bite of said Ratatouille. Not that my novice review here will hold, any such value as that of Anton Egos in the film. But transcendence of my experience, has led me to write this essay here, an effort I barely was motivated enough to put in, even when it came to my academics in university. Indeed this is the power of great food; It transports you ! and the experience, dare I say - can be - spiritual. Needless to say, my wife and I absolutely loved the food. We coupled our order with some fresh & delicious Fattoush salad; and a side order of Crip Fallafel. I am deeply grateful for the decadence of Manouche. If you havent been to Manouche, youre missing out. So go out there and grab yourself a wrap or a platter, some sides; on God, its all epic food. I seriously cant wait to grab some more after writing this. The wait till they open in 4 hours from now, is a tall order for me. (perhaps not as tall; as the one they are about to get from me hahahahaha) Cheers ! and all the very best to the team at Manouche :) Yall Rock. Keep that Gyro grill turnin Rock on ! (Oh and perhaps, next time I could get a little cup of Toum/Garlic Aioli style dip, with my order hahaha, sorry about the cheeky request at the end here :P) Kid-friendliness: This planet needs to be Kid Friendly, They sure are.

So happy that I have experienced her before I die. I had supreme felafel meal and let me tell It Was AMAZING . I think I never had a good felafel for thousands of years. But Here you just need to go there and see what is happening for the real food. Go there and taste the meals. You barely find a meal as good as theirs. We also had sambusa and it was gorgeous . Thanks Behzad for the all the love you use as spice of the food. Vegetarian options: Felafel Dietary restrictions: No sugar
The best falafel I have ever had. I highly recommend it. It was special.
Amazing
Its a great place to visit and eat they have nice customer service and great shawarma
Orange Juice is very delicious.
Best place!!!
Loved it
My son says Really good fries We cancelled a march break trip last minute because he was so sick in the morning. When he woke up at 11 am, he spent the next 5 hours talking about wanting fries from manouche to make up for missing his first trip to the US. Food : 5/5 |
Hands down best shawarma place in Guelph!
I love the chicken shawarma platter on rice. I get it all the time. Thank you so much I was excited to hear about the mango juice so I gave it a try.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
Amazing orange juice. Freshly squeezed
Ordered takeout on a Friday night, the staff was very helpful suggesting menu items. Food was ready in 15 minutes and it was DELICIOUS. Perfect portion and so so tasty. We got chicken shawarma platters and the humus appetizer. We will be back!
Best lunch spot!!
Great stuff.
Great food
Excellent shwarma w rice and fried!

Best in town, just bought Hummus and Chicken Shawarma
Very nice people, delicious food
It s a great place Vegetarian options: They hot falafel Food : 5/5 |
Sooo good, we love the chicken shwarma wrap its my boyfriends favourite spot!
My local spot! Best shawarma and falafel in the city
Best shawarma in Guelph so far, I come weekly for lunch! Dont waste your time with Osmows or Lazeez, these guys always give you the respectable portion sizes you expect. I like their longer grain yellow rice too. My favourite is the tandoori chicken on rice for a spicier/more flavourful experience, but the normal chicken on rice/chicken shawarma wrap always hits the spot in a milder way too. Give these guys a shot if you havent already.
Called to have order ready they said 10 minutes, got there after 15 minutes and still hadnt started my order. Got a gyro wrap combo and the quality of food has seriously dropped and the portion sizes have decreased by more then half, but prices have increased. Used to come here but will find another restaurant
nice food loved it
Best shawarma in guelph, needs to improve hours!!!
Always very inconsistent with there Uber eats I would not recommend planning on getting manouche on Uber eats as you will more than likely be let down
When this place opened the food was fantastic, portion sizes were great and the service was always warm, friendly and accommodating. There mustve been a change in ownership because now the portions are much smaller and they act like they cant be bothered to serve their customers on a good day...on a bad one they practically snarl at you. Ive given them three chances just in case I caught them on a bad day but theyve struck out with their attitude and I wont be back. Its a shame when good places are ruined by nasty people who dont care about their customers.
I ordered food through Uber for my boyfriend. They had a deal for buy one get one. Firstly the quantity was very less. I called the restaurant and they said call Uber. Then my boyfriend started eating the food, and he got a strand of hair out of his food. I feel so disgusted by this. And the person on the phone from the restaurant is telling me that if you have a problem why are you contacting us. We are not getting paid by you, we are getting paid by uber. Call Uber. And then he starts giggling on the phone. Please do not order from this restaurant. Unhygienic food and bad customer service explains it all.
Amazing food, amazing employees
Why go to chain when you can get better and cheaper shawarma here
The worst shawarma ever. If you like a salad disguised as a shawarma wrap then this is perfect for you. Has absolutely no meat at all. Just pure stinginess.
Delicious, authentic and fresh. Staff is always so accommodating and kind. Food is always exactly how I ordered it. 100% my daughter and I s favourite shawarma plates in Guelph. Love when Uber eats has a BOGO deal too! Love it on fries, or on rice! **Tried tonight with the new owners and I don t like the changes. Less garlic sauce (hardly covering the top of chicken) less chicken (different spice) and the fries are now spicy.** I guess we just don t like change.
Very good Mediterranean food with friendly and helpful staff. Wraps are decent sized and tastes authentic .
this place had really good food. the workers were kind and efficient. very generous with their portions. Great bang for your buck, definitely would recommend
overpriced
Ive been here a few times and had wraps which were fine, but this time tried the beef shawarma platter. Not impressed with the portion size for charging $18... it felt light when he handed me the container and I could see the bottom of the container through the rice/beef so about 2/3 what you typically get when you order a shawarma platter. And the salad was tiny I could eat it in 2 bites, mainly iceberg lettuce, 2 tiny slices of pickle, 2 little turnip and 1 slice of tomato? For 18..? There is better value shawarma around guelph
I love these guys
Small restaurant the best food, clean and friendly service, I had delicious chicken shawarma, reasonable price, very polite people, I recommend everyone to try the food and service, big parking available
Great food and even better service! Always consistent in their flavours! I can t wait to go back!
Really good food
Worse place in Guelph by far horrible customer service such less food paid 12 dollars for lettuce and tomato s never going back my first and time for sure
So cheap on food what I dont how these people still in business
AmaIng food amazing place; great music Behzad the server did me very right and gave me huge portions for a platter I paid only 15.99 for. Going to visit again soon and I hope I see Behzad, his customer service was genuinely unmatched, the presence he himself added makes me want to be a frequent visitor. I wouldn t take my wife cause she might get jealous
I have purchased baklava from this place three times on different occasions. Each time, they served soggy and badly tasting baklava. I will never get food from this place again.
Small and cute place. They have fresh juices. The prices are decent too. You definitely should try the lentil soup and samosas too.
Best shawarma place in Guelph
Amazing food and even better service.
Great affordable food especially for students
Great place Good food Good service Food : 5/5
Best Shawerma in town, so tasty
One of the best shawarma places in town
The food was terrible. No flavor or spices in any of it including the hummus, kafta, fries and salad! Flavorless and overpriced!
delicious and always a good choice
Very good food. Fresh
this the spot
Best shawarma in Guelph! Highly recommend
I love their food its good and the service was kind
The shawarmas were awesome. Must try.
very friendly, great food!
Friday staff & good food, highly recommended
Super nice people, good food, affordable!
Very tasty Shawarama
Been coming here for years.
Manouche has my favourite shawarma in Guelph!
food goes very hard and the employees are always super nice
10/10 middle eastern foods
This place slays
Love getting food here when ever I order Great service Pleasant atmosphere and great food
Good service
reminded me of my favourite shawarma place from my home town.
Amazing food and fast friendly service. Shwarma is so full of delicious chicken and crunchy veg. Absolutely top notch .
I use to be a good customer of this place it s always something with them ..I waited over an hour for an order of chicken on rice..finally was able to cancel won t be ordering again ..try tangy tasty their much better..
The place is small in a plaza, I ordered chicken tandoori shawarma and falafel premium wrap, the salt in the wrap was but on low side but over all the quantity and quality was good. I have never had chicken tandoori shawarma , but it was very good and something unique.
Very good shwarma, one of the best in the guelph area. Will try their plates next time.
Disappointed! I was so excited to have found a middle eastern food in Guelph. But you guys ruined it. How dare you just wrap a burnt hawawshi completely blackened on the outside and the meat is dry like an old rubber shoe. The chicken shawarma wrap I ordered specifically without lettuce, because it turns the wrap cold and soggy. You ignore the order of course, because if you didn t fill it up with lettuce, what else would you put? Chicken? The kofta was too salty and was cooked beyond recognition. It makes me wonder if it was already cooked and you had to microwave the life out of it. Utterly disappointed.
Employees are friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The place itself small but clean and tidy. Keep it up manouche team.
Shawarma here is great! Way better than Osmows. We wanted hot sauce and they missed it. Only 1 table for eat in so we took food home....didnt notice the hot sauce was missing until it was too late. I thought the food was so good I still have 5 stars. WINNER!
I eat there every week. Love the chicken shwama platter. Great people!!!
Went on a Friday before a long weekend and they didnt have any rice... Service was less than standard, food was okay.
I was excited to come to this establishment but to find out their gyro was not from the spigot and it was frozen meat dont think Ill be coming back to this restaurant
Never here again have one India guys working its total unfriendly and yelld for people I just got oder now its take longer please seat here and already I order last half hours only 2 wraps 5 minute job today aug 26 morning time first and last time no more this restaurant any oder
I came in to get chicken shawarma platter. The food isn t bad, I just saw the guy serving my fries without gloves after it was fried and cooked. I asked him kindly to wear gloves and give me new fries especially with Covid restrictions. He did that but argued that look this is how I served it. I saw it with my naked eyes and he basically said that I lied. I don t want to be rude I think he might be not educated about food and restaurant culture and Covid rules. I don t care if he argued, I just minded that he tried serving me with his bare hands touching the counters and his clothes. I don t think I trust the quality and sanitation of your restaurant anymore.
Just asking so you guys don t sell manoushe here right?
What an amazing family run restaurant. Omar and family are Wonderful people that are passionate about their culture and their food. Best shawarma on the plant. Come up to Fergus Omar and l can see more of you
Their shawarma sauce is flavourful. Chicken shawarma wrap is good.
Best chicken shawarma wrap in Guelph
Horrible. Food was inedible. I ordered a Mixed Shawarma Combo. Fries were pure SALT. The wrap was awful as well.
Great food. Good quality and always my hunger buster
Very nice excellent food and service
The tandoori shawarma is really tasty. Service is quick, if unsmiling.
The food is very delicious
Wonderful middle-eastern takeout. The owner is always playing nice Jazz/Classical music. Ive been going here for years, I cannot comment on the meat but their falafel is superb.
Liked it. Taste was like tradtional mediterrean food. Serving size was good.
This was our first time there. Excellent Hummus just the way it should be. The Falafel wrap was extremely flavourful, loaded with veggies.We tried Tandoori Shawarma as well. Super fantastic. Cant wait to try other things on the menu.
Delicious and fresh.
Amazing shawarma!!!
Got falafel wrap combos as takeout for dinner and was so delicious! So much food for a great price too. Will definitely be getting food from here again!
Love Love Love this place, fast takeout, great food and good sized portions. My husband and I usually share one meal and have difficulty finishing it. Always fresh and tasty!
This is my new spot best service and the shwarma plate was the best Ive had in a long time. Clean and friendly staff...officially my go to place
Love it!
Excellent food and service
I have NEVER been disappointed by this spot. Always so tasty, never a long wait, and the staff are so friendly! My go to is the chicken shawarma wrap with hot sauce and extra garlic sauce
nice clean decent place
Need improvement in beef quality and some time chicken over done but I love to go their for Shawarmas
Hari is amazing, thanks for the great food
I love this place, I truly do. The lentil soup, falafel wrap, portion sizes, prices... amazing! But the food is inconsistent based on the chef that day. And just a thought, why is the place called Manouche when there s no manouche on the menu...?
Food is great. Unfortunately the prices have just increased which is understandable but the new containers they are using now has like 40% less food.
I tried this place the very first time and i am really disappointed with their quantity, price and charging extra to give sauce on the side instead of on the top just because the have to use a tiny container. The quantity of gravy on poutine was not even enough to cover all fries. Prices are way too high than their quality there re serving .
Ordered for take out. Food was wonderful, great prices and fast delivery. The babaganoosh was one of the best I ve had and the grilled veggies were delicious.
Used to be my fav shawarma spot but the last 2 times Ive gone its been extreamly disappointing, the new workers make everything very very bland, stood infront of the dude at the counter he didnt say a word for a few minutes until I started to just order. Didnt even finish half my mixed platter. I will give it 1 more chance, cause the food was very upsetting and I know it can be much better
2 hours still waiting for cold food I guess ! Received the food cold as expected and missing items very disappointed!!
Disgusting ! The gyro was baloney. The falafel tested like old, dirty oil. And as I watched it being prepared, I wish I had not already paid. The food prep person had gloves on but he dug into everything and everyones food with the same gloves. I was there 10 minutes and he didnt change the gloves. So, if he got the virus on these gloves then at least 10 people contacted the virus from those 10 minutes. But, the worse was watching him slop the food around. Cancer forming styrofoam containers. Yuk ! we didnt eat it any of it. Threw it in the garbage
