First time trying and it was not disappointing. Ordered a Halal Bacon Halloumi Wrap and it was tasty. The portion for a regular was larger than I had expected and it was quite filling. The staff were very friendly. They were extremely patient and helpful when asking them questions and made me feel comfortable with the ordering process. Only thing I'd nitpick would be the slightly loud music right above the seated area. It just made it a bit hard to talk with others over it. All in all, a great experience. I would order the same wrap again.

Food is great. Had their legendary beef+ lamb and chicken shawarma. Both times it was good. The kunefe is surprisingly very good. Wasn’t expecting it to be that good. Place is a little small, but thats all.

Amazing delicious shawarma ever. If it is not tight it is not right 😂 Zont forget za babsi

I recently ordered from Shelby Shawarma during lunchtime, hoping for a great meal, but it fell short of expectations. While the flavor was decent, the beef and lamb were both disappointingly dry and not warm enough. Given that this was a lunchtime order, I expected the meat to be fresh and hot. Additionally, the portion sizes were smaller than anticipated, especially for the price. Overall, while the taste was good, the quality and serving size could definitely be improved.

Food was amazing and staff were very courteous. This is a new location and quite busy on weekdays as well. We tried traditional chicken shawarma bite box and rice/fries chicken bowl. This was enough for 2 people. Sitting space is limited so takeout recommended. Overall great place to eat!

Just opened up in Kingston! Fully halal. Good service, great food!! Many different options that other shawarma places don’t have. I just wish they didn’t hate on ketchup so much! Heads up they don’t have a lot of seating.

Me and wife wanted to treat ourselves to a nice late night meal. Got two bowls of chicken shawarma. Mandi rice??? With French fries??? With three pcs of shady looking chicken shawarma and a mix of pickles!!! Guys, you horrified the meal when you mixed the ingredients in a bowl. Very disappointing for the price and for the portion and contents of the meal. The person who prepared the food also mixed the stickers and caused wife to having a allergic reaction to tahini. This is what made me write the review. I admit, nice store and clean but the food, is not all that great. Thank you but no thank you.

Ordered a chicken shawarma bowl. The bowl packaging it comes in is a problem salad, sauces and rice shouldnt all be mashed up together like a soup. Un edible and unfortunate- i think it could have been good with a proper shawarma platter container separating items that should be separated.

Staff dont change gloves between orders. Saw my vegetarian order prepared with same gloves used for a meat order. Be ethical and respect someones believes. I bet the staff is either forced to not change gloves to save cost. Traumatized and not going back again

The restaurant doesn t have a Halal certificate of their own. The only certificate they show is of their supplier, which does not ensure that they really carry meat from same supplier. The certificate also does not mention any thing about Zabiha. I took Rice with Chicken. No idea why they put tons of sauces on it, which made it impossible to eat. Finally threw all. I have never eaten such food in any middle Eastern country, no idea which cuisine they are serving.

Ordered a chicken bowl for 15 dollars, got three chunks of chicken max, so much for a Legendary meal not even a good meal aside from the missing chicken. Osmows and house of doniar are the only places I ll be going to in the future. What a joke maybe just some new workers that don t understand portion sizs

The shawarma bowl is probably the most delicious I have had in kingston . We had bowl and legendary wrap. The use of crunchiness in the shawarma bowl is apt. The legendary shawarma too was full of meat unlike few others which go scarce with use of chicken . The take out service was very quick . The location of the restaurant is also very convenient to park and get around

Both the Bowl and Wrap are balanced with flavour and I m pretty sure none of the place has food like this. Vegetarian options: And now the best vegetarian option that I recommend is FRIES BOUTINE with HALOUMI CHEESE, I can t appreciate the taste enough, it has so many balanced flavours and the Fresh Fries were crispy with the garlic sauce.
