The Magical World of Shawarma Pizza!
Very very delicious food. I loved it. Great chef made my delicious wrap. I definitely recommend to everyone to try the food here. Its amazing. Thanks and keep up the delicious work
Daman was very helpful in preparing my food with utmost attention, was friendly and ensured to follow the instructions clearly so food is prepared as per customization. Food was tasty and delicious as well.
The vegetable in the wrap is super fresh. I’m not a big fan of the sauce. It’s more like mayo than garlic imo. The spice level is also not there. The chicken was also kinda shredded chicken. So overall I still enjoyed the wrap but it did not feel like I was eating shawarma. Harry Potter decor is cool and staff was nice though
Lamb wrap was amazing, turnips were very tasty, would recommend to everyone. Meenu gave great customer service and made good conversation. Will be back!!!
I had the ultimate poutine shawarma. It was a novel experience, and I enjoyed the meal. Note that I wasn't expecting this to be exactly shawarma or poutine, but a fun fusion of each. I wasn't disappointed. Service was very good and the food enjoyable. The restaurant has an amusing play on Diagon Alley from Harry Potter in its decor. My only negative comment is that the table needed a wipe down. It wasn't really dirty, just looked like maybe it had been missed since the last customer. Will return when able to try more traditional versions of shawarma.
!!!MISLEADING/WRONG ORDER 2 TIMES IN A ROW!!! (Photo proof included) I ordered the Alley plate on Uber Eats and the photo of the food they showed did NOT MATCH the food delivered to me. They FORGOT to include the pickles and turnips and the potatoes are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (Small baked potatoes I can easily make at home myself vs Big Lemon Potatoes that were shown in the photo). Also I requested ketchup on the side BOTH times I ordered here and I DID NOT RECEIVE IT, extremely frustrating. Additionally, the first time I ordered here they also got my chicken shawarma wrap sauces mixed up. I tried calling the store to confirm my order and to remind them of the ketchup but the phone rang for a solid minute before I hung up. ZERO Customer service and MISADVERTISED food. Take your business and get your shawarma someplace else in Guelph.
The positive reviews are likely fake. None of us finished our food. Food had no flavour. Service was painfully slow. Music was blaring. The person serving us had gloves, but touched many surfaces between touching our food.
By far the worst shawarma I've ever had. The rest of the review must be close friends of the owner, because I have no idea why this has over 2 stars. I had a couple bites but couldn't finish, the rice was bad and the chicken was not fresh and tasted off.
One of the best chicken shawarma and chicken shawarma poutines in Guelph. I would highly recommend this place!
Best shawarma poutine in town
Very good food and very tasty

Very friendly people and good deals here
Good food and great service
Great food always. Super reliable late night place. Always delicious
Food was good and raj is very friendly
Had to wait too long to get my wrap and it was served cold. Not a great experience.
I had a really good experience in this restaurant. One of the best restaurants for shawarma in Ontario. Especially the chef is very friendly. There are so many varieties here. Food : 5/5 |
I never had this good shawarma roll.
They dont have a washroom
Nice place
Good service
Very tasty shawarma with great service! Will return if I m in the area
Great service and great people
Best service
Great food and great service! Food is fresh. The salads are so so so good! I love how we can make the food as saucy and spicey as we like! Adding chicken to the salad amps it up a new notch! Instead of salad I sometimes will do rice or fries with the chicken.
Very good experience with this restaurant, best ever shawarma i ever had. Service provided was the best. Highly recommend. Food
Good service
Very good food and excellent customer service.
Kamal gave us a wonderful service great place
The food here sucks in quality and taste. I dont run into many restaurants that do bad shawarma, but this place is a nightmare. The two medium chicken shawarma pizza special for Sunday was over 30 bucks. Not a special deal at all. Barely had any cheese or chicken on it. Chicken was so dry and looked like it was stored in the fridge for days. Innocent people wouldnt be able to tell because of all the sauce, but trust me, you can do much better. Overall, lacked any good flavour. Not worth even 20 bucks. The crust was decent. Crunchy. Place smelled musty and windows and tables were dirty. I dont trust the cleanliness of their kitchen. Luckily, my friends and I didnt get food poisoning. The guy at the counter was friendly, at least. Im going to Shawarma G next time.
Good store with good food budget friendly
Sooooo amazing!!!!!!!! Fav place after the bar
Ive had pleasant times at Shawarma Alley the Harry Potter decor inspired shawarma spot tucked away in downtown Guelph on Macdonnell St. The food pn my visits and orders have always been delicious and well portioned. Its good shawarma though perhaps not like other places youre used to but I approve personally. Theres a good selection of meals to try and vegetarian friendly dishes not so much vegan friendly but its not trying to be is it. Honourable side/snack mentions would be their fries and baklava oh my goodness. The spot is quite modest space wise its not the largest but the space is well utilised and clean. Staff has been kind on my visits and generous dealing out portions. Shawarma Alleys Harry Potter-esque design of the store is wicked Im sure the magic community appreciate it and most likely youll be able to sit in and eat without issue if you want. Usually very quiet between orders and pickups. If youre looking for a big order for a family/group they have plenty specialty/platter deals on the menu you just dont see much these days. Nice to see. Youll find weekly deals available to dine-in or takeout and if you order for delivery I believe the usual places like uber eats and door dash usually offer the occasional BOGO free deal worth taking advantage of at times too. I can only speak on my experience but Im happy to visit and order again.

Extremely Disappointing (1) I ordered a beef Swarma; and I did not smell any beef in it (2) One half of the Swarma was cold and the other part was little warm ! (3) while making the Swarma I noticed the staff was smelling the ingredients (may be he was checking if the ingredients were rotten or not) with his nose almost into there!!! (4) they keep cooked things in fridge and warm up those once an order is received. Does not serve freshly cooked. (5) most terrible drama is .. this restaurant has dine in facility but does not have a wash room; you cannot do number one or number two .. and you cannot wash hands. (6) It s extremely impractical.. may be they have chosen me to tell that they did not have any washroom. BUT I have almost spent 16 dollars ( sixteen) ! I am not sure for what extent of spending you willl be allowed to use the washroom or not.
Very good service and best ever shawrma i ever had. Highly recommended.
Absolutely loved this shawarma alley! The meat was juicy, seasoned perfectly, and wrapped in warm, soft pita. Fresh veggies and the creamy garlic sauce made each bite delicious. Portions are generous, and the staff is super friendly. Great spot for a quick, tasty meal. Can t wait to visit again!
Tried first time and wasnt disappointed, crunchy and taste on point. Must visit
Raj was quite amazing with treating customers
Terrible service
Tried this place out for the first time I ordered a large chicken shawarma on rice. It was very good. BUT It was kind of expensive compared to other Shawarma places in guelph. They really should start giving cans of pop with some of the food on the menu. Update: they are starting to give smaller portions when I order chicken shawarma on rice
It wasnt my favorite
first its not Arabic shawarma at all second its not real shawarma very very disappointed I spent 32 dollars for 2 wrap because I ordered it with Saj bread one chicken another is beef , honestly I couldnt eat it so throw in garbage Notice do not believe the good rate about this shawarma
Food is gas
I really appreciate the hospitality and ambiance in the shawarma alley.
I really liked the food here and the employees are also very friendly and helpful. I will really recommend this place...
Very peaceful atmosphere great customer service
Yashmica , was well done with the customer service and was very friendly to ask what and how you Wano make it. Happy with her service. Keep up this good work.
Super good for Guelph
Very good place
RAJ s service was good thank you
Bland, no flavour, overly sauced, gross. and bad customer service :(((
Service from Raj and Meenu was nice . Thank you
Shawarma was very good especially the person working over there Mr Raj was very helpful
Service from Raj was nice Thank you Food
The food was amazing and sever Mr Raj was very attentive
Super shawarma
Great Shawarma!
Great service and great food
Such a shit service I ordered something and went there after 30 min and still they were saying oh it will take 40 min . Not gonna recommend
Shawarma/Alley on rice tastes more like mayo than garlic in sauce. Meat needs more Shawarma spices.
Meh
Dhaman was very helpful. Great customer service and the shawarmas are the best in the city!
I got food poisoning on 14 Oct 2024 (1230am)
Honestly hate reviewing places like this.. Just got food poisoning
If I could give it one star I would. I got food poisoning from the food. BE AWARE.
Quantity was not worth of price on shawarma day, its like 2 dollar worth....asking for extra sauce makes them askings for extra money,even wrap size was drastically reduced
Very delicious
Great shawarma, tastes great and the atmosphere is very calm and nice
Muni was great will definitely be returning
The service is really good
Amazing place best shawarma place in Guelph
Best shawarma in Town
Worst shawarma I have ever had. I came in and asked for a chicken shawarma plate and was met with a confused look. I had to explain that I was looking for chicken shawarma on rice, with sauces and a side salad (a pretty standard option at a shawarma place). After describing what I wanted I was still met with a confused looked and was told sure, I guess you can have a salad too if you want. I was thrown off by the confusion and once again explained what I wanted, they nodded and did there thing. The first thing I noticed that was off when receiving my order was the box was a narrow, single compartment take out box rather than a typical three compartment box where your hot rice and chicken would be in the large spot and your cold salad and maybe some hummus would be in the other two separated smaller areas. When I got home and opened it, I was met with a monstrosity of both the rice and salad mixed together all covered in garlic and hot sauce. The rice was overcooked, bland and cold. The chicken was cold and probably quite old and the salad was just drenched in garlic and hot sauce. I was hungry after a late soccer game and just wanted something to fill me and this was truly disappointing. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else if you enjoy food.
Very tasty
Food very tasty, and served very good
Kamal was amazing great service and even better food!
Not a great spot. Not sure where these reviews are coming from
Great Experience
I ordered shawarma it was really amazing, must recommend place.
Nice place, good taste
Have never waited so long for food in my entire life I hate this place 1 hour for a wrap and how was it 22$ for one wrap
Great, good, friendly, respectful staff Food : 5/5
good place.
Good food great service
I do take in consideration that I went late at night but I was expecting a lot more meat for what I ordered it just barley covers the top of the food and for the cost I would expect more spending almost $14 for a small shawarma on rice it should not be that expensive for the meat ratio.also had to edit this but I was not expecting chunks of unions and tomatoes can t say I ve had that before in my shawarma but can t say I enjoy that
Good food keep it up guys
Real decent shawarma. Fair prices. Parking: Parking right in front, 15 min spots. Usually one available at lunch. Food : 5/5 |
I got an opportunity to have delicious and the best shawarma from Shawarma Alley and the staff Raj and Meenu whose extremely friendly approach to customers were appreciable
The best service! Loved the atmosphere! Raj and meenu are the best service! Thank you guys !
Food good, service is very good. Great customer service of raj and meenu
The food is really good. The service is friendly. Loved the place lots of dishes to chose. I especially like the service done by Raj kamal he was really friend and was quick on his feet.
The food was really delicious and customer service was fantastic. Meenu was too great in preparing shawarma and friendly service.
Great guys good food
Raj and meenu approach was nice
Such a nice people... especially Raj
Bestest shawrma i had ever, price is budget friendly, you can have one pop with chicken on the rocks within 8.84$. Staff is very calm & respectful. Highly recommended. Guys must try it.
Theyre open late into the night and I sometimes go there after work. I usually get the shawarma poutine. Staff are nice and the food is pretty good. Try em out!
Really good service from raj and meenu
I went today to have half & half the service provided by Raj and Meenu was mind blowing and food was in great taste.
Raj and meenu, they were really good at their work.. They provided best customer service.
Raj and Meenu with good customer service and friendly appearance
Raj and meenus customer service was excellent will surely visit often
Got the chicken saj wrap - chicken tasted stale & none of the topping s were fresh. Also the saj tasted like grocery store pita.
Rajs service was really good
The shawarma tastes really good like I never got the taste like this in Brampton so , I got all the way to Guelph.
Just, Holy cow...I got the buy one get one chicken on the rocks through door dash...i cannot express how bad this meal was. No flavour, at all...you could not even tell it was chicken that you were eating..the portion size was pretty small in comparison to any other chicken on the rocks meals ive had from other places. Maybe it was a bad batch, but this order was probably the worst shawarma meal i have ever had.. which is unfortunate, as I heard good things about this place. Sorry, not again.
One of the worst shawarma ever tasted from Guelph, got food poisoned and was bed ridden worst quantity worst taste worst quality, not gonna buy anymore and not recommended
Best shawarma i had in my life. Good guality & quantity. Highly recommended.
Yesterday i got chicken on the rocks deal & it was too scrumptious with unbeatable price. The staff is really cooperative & friendly specially the punjabi guy i met with moustaches. Highly recommended to everyone.
Best Restaurant in town
Nice place, food and service. Everything is amazing. will highly recommend.
First time visit, and late night to boot. Appreciate the good service.
Great food
Thanks for Raj and meenu for your great service.
i love shawarma alley. the food is amazing and the service is always friendly. definitely one of the best take out places downtown
Ordered online, but they didn t start the order until after we were there. They then rushed the order. We ended up with an undercooked pizza crust, and dark burnt tasting fries. As well, we ordered cheese crust for an extra $4, but there was no cheese crust.
Good Food
Amazing food!!! Great for late nights big backs need this place.
I got Gyro on fries and Seekh Kabab, both quantity and quality were superb and staff was very helpful and supportive as well specially Kamal.
Taste was delicious and good hygiene. Fast service. Nature of staff was great and friendly
Best Shawrma in the town great atmosphere nice people nice dealing with kamal
I love shawarma especially on sticks! I ordered half and half chicken (on rice and fries) and it was horrible. The rice was undercooked and tasted horrible. My Wife said It tastes like burnt pan. Go somewhere else Habibi!
Extremely friendly staff, Raj was very welcoming and helped serve us delicious food !
Very nice food and very friendly staff, Raj was on shift that time.
I had an amazing experience at this shawarma store. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Raj was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend
Placed an order for a Shawarma Pizza for delivery and when I received it is completely shocking. The smell was so bad that it almost made me vomit. Ive bought from this store before when they opened and the quality has went downhill completely. The past couple orders have all been completely bad. Previous order before this one was a Shawarma with rice where the rice was completely old and hard while the chicken was dry and overcooked. And before that was the same thing but the Shawarma was so damn salty that it could not even be eaten. I tried it giving another go with the Pizza today but I will not be ordering here again after another bad experience.
Meenu, Raj, Harman were so good.
It was a nice experience Raj and Meenu was really helpful. Thanks to them Food : 5/5
Shawarma wrap was a good choice. Not overwhelming with sauce like some places. Very quick as well
Nice place and good staff
Great good at great prices
Good
Great food. Good service. Kamal is very helpful
Always met with such kindness, great service and amazing shawarma!
Not good , less filling of chicken and sauses are not that much inside the shawarma wrap
Tasty food.

Amazing food
The best fries in downtown! Delicious food and friendly service.
Great place, great guys, great food
Vgood
I love to visited at this place and best part of this place is its available till 3.a.m and food is very fresh and yummy .
It was great! Very good service from kamaljeet
Kamal and jot service is the best. I really love the food. Highly recommended to everyone.
i love the place and the food. The staff are courteous and amazing at their job.
Fireeeeeee
This place is a quick grab and go type place for shawarma. The food is okay, might be a bit too acidic but its alright for a quick bite. The staff are lovely and helpful but as you can see theres not much sitting space to actually sit and eat. Parking: Its in downtown Guelph, its hard to find parking anywhere unless youre lucky Wheelchair accessibility: Its on the ground floor but theres no accessibility access
Great food with affordable price
Fast service.
Nice offers Adipwoli
Smallest portion of shawarma I ve ever had. Not even just the chicken but the rice too. Less than half the bottom of the container. Wasnt impressed.
Good food and services
Good customer care,
Amazing shawarma! Fresh, flavorful, and generous portions. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Mr. Raj served us for a delicious meal.!
Great food and customer service
Really great food, especially if you get it in a bowl. The wrap is impossible to eat without half of it ending in your lap. Had it twice already and both times I became covered in sauce. Not sure if they do them wrong, or if its the quality of the wrap. Not giving up on this place, but Ill be sticking to bowls from now on, because the food really is excellent, and the garlic sauce is to die for. Later edit: Shrinked the rating by one star, just like they shrinked the portion sizes.
Ill always have a preference for shawarma alley over all ther shawarma spots in guelph, especially because of the service here. The guy at the counter who served me, Raj, is a really nice guy and he helped me. I rely on his suggestions to get the best food from here with the best offers. I guarantee that everybody will get a great experience here.
