Stopped in to get a shawarma. The restaurant was very spacious and clean, and the staff was extremely friendly. But most importantly, the shawarma was probably one of the best I've ever had. I will definitely be coming by again next time I'm in Pickering.

After a game of pickleball nearby, we stopped by Shawarma Royale for a quick bite. The place has a cozy yet spacious vibe, and I appreciated the open counter where you can see your food being prepared—it adds a nice touch of transparency. We were lucky enough to meet the owner, who personally helped with our order since the cashier was busy assisting a family. The service was absolutely fantastic, making the visit even more enjoyable. We went with the Queen Chicken Wrap Lunch Special, and it did not disappoint! The wrap was packed with flavour—filling, savoury, and so tasty that I was tempted to go back for seconds. The care and skill the owner put into preparing it really stood out. Overall, Shawarma Royale is a great spot to satisfy your shawarma cravings. Highly recommended!

I always order a Falafel wrap and a side of rice. I visit this location 2-3 times a week. The food is always amazing and fresh. The 2 gentlemen are extremely welcoming and friendly. Yes the food is great but its the staff that makes each visit awesome. Thanks guys for the service and making me feel like family. See you at lunch. Many blessings!

“I had a fantastic dining experience, thanks to the incredibly friendly staff , From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and made to feel welcome. The waitstaff was attentive without being overbearing, offering great recommendations and checking in at just the right moments. They were patient, approachable, and made sure that everything was perfect throughout the meal. Their positive energy really enhanced the overall atmosphere, making it a delightful place to dine. I can’t wait to return!”

Probably my favorite Shawarma in Pickering so far. It is not the fastest to order, but I think it’s because they make everything as it comes in. The meat was tender, juicy, and well cooked. And unlike a lot of places, they don’t fry it on the grill in a massive steaming batch, which is awesome! The pomegranate molasses are a nice touch. The falafel we got was well seasoned and cooked to order from a refrigerated mix, which was great to see. The only mistake, and I blame no one but myself, is getting onion rings. They were six onion rings for $3.50 which isn’t a super great price and they were just pretty standard onion rings.

Best Shawarma in Town - Exceptional Service! I recently visited Shawarma Royale in Pickering, and I have to say, it was an outstanding experience! Malik, who took my order, was incredibly genuine and attentive. He took care of every detail of my order and went above and beyond my expectations. The shawarma was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked just as I requested. From the moment I walked in, I received top-notch service. The level of professionalism and attention to detail was exceptional, and the taste of the shawarma was out of this world. If you're looking for the best shawarma in town, Shawarma Royale is the place to go. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning!

The food was AMAZING!!! Have tried other locations but this one, the best so far. The staff were really patient and friendly. The store, clean with plenty of seating so bring a friend or your family and come check out this location. Got a Queen beef and lamb wrap as well as a Royal mix wrap. Was made to perfection. The wrap was the perfect amount of crisp with such juicy and flavourful meat. And they didn’t disappoint with packing it - were very generous with the meat, toppings as well as sauces. Definitely coming back for more 😊

We went there because we were heading east and they were on the way. I personally wasnt too excited because I thought it was a restaurant chain (I dont do shawaarma chain restaurants- you guys know what Im talking about). It was just before closing, so we expected the last dry up pieces of chicken and wilted salad. What they gave us, right before closing, was the most succulent chicken, the crispest, freshest salad, veggies and coleslaw, as if they just opened, not about to close. And on top of that, the food was absolutely delicious! I had to call them to let them know. Thank you both for the great service and exceptional meal! We will be back for sure! Excellent shawaarma in Pickering! Vegetarian options: Yes Parking: Enough Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

October 22, 2024

Paid $36 for 2 shawarmas and waited 50mins after ordering..... Came during a rush of 10 ppl and understandable, you need some time but almost an hour is crazy - should hire some waiters at that point. They ran out of chicken and placed a new stack to cook but witnessed the employee cutting pieces of chicken that clearly wasnt ready (pink under cuts..praying for those ppls stomachs) due to pressure of lines. The food itself tastes like you could make it at home - should be your last place to go for food, spend the extra time and take a drive to Shelbys or even Osmows....

This place is kind of a mixed bag. The shawarma is good in terms of flavour. But if you are used to the tight wraps at Shelbys and Tahinis, then this seems kind of messy. The guy working here was really nice, I am just not sure if I would chose it over the other places on the reg.

Restaurant is clean and bright. The staff, which I suspect are the owners, were polite and very helpful, even made a custom chicken wrap to accommodate my elderly mother s bland taste buds. I ordered and enjoyed a hot/spicy king-sized beef & lamb wrap it was delicious! I was thrilled that they were open until 11pm because finding a nice dinner at that late hour usually impossible but not so now, Shawarma Royale is a wonderful addition (ok, improvement) to the late night food offerings! (I m happy that I no longer have to resort to eating only pizza or Chinese food). Parking: This shop is located in a plaza so there is plenty of (free) parking available for any size vehicle. Wheelchair accessibility: Chairs can be removed to accommodate a wheelchair(s) at the dining table.

Food was meh. I got a queen chicken shawarma, took 15 minutes for the two guys to make it, there were 2 other people who had ordered before I did which means it was slow service. The wrap was just meh first if you re going to put the price of a chicken wrap for $13 then maybe put some chicken in it yeah? There was on a guesstimate about maybe 8-10 small tiny shreds of chicken in a wrap that s about a foot long. There was mostly veggies and wayyy way too much sauce. The wrap tasted like they buttered it then grilled it which I didn t like because the wrap then had a butter taste to it I felt a little ripped off to be honest, there was very little meat and the wrap looked like it was ran over by a car, that s how flat it was probably from not putting much toppings in the wrap then pressing the wrap down on the grill. I came here because I was in the area and didn t know it well but i don t think I d come back and order here again. The guys who worked there were nice. Washrooms were both flooded word to the manager, don t be so damn stingy with the meat topping, if you re going to be stingy don t call it a chicken shawarma wrap.

Went to pick up my chicken family platter yesterday and fell down immediately after entering through the door. Two kind men who were also customers came to help me up and offered me water and a seat. After gathering my stuff which fell on the floor, I went to the cashier to pick up my order. Told him his floors are slippery and theres a trip at the entrance which is dangerous and which resulted in my fall. They just said really, you fell down? just now? and went on the explain that the extra step under the entrance is to keep the rats out. Didnt seem remorseful at all. I paid for my order and drove back. Still in pain today. Needless to say Im never going there again. Also my hubby is so mad he wants to sue.

Thought I would try this place out on a whim as I m a regular at Osmows Shawarma. Unfortunately, I did not find the food here to be of good value. The shawarma practically had no ingredients inside. The only redeeming quality was the wrap itself - the bread was quite tasty. But I felt ripped off paying so much for so little. I wouldn t return to this franchise or recommend to others. I ll stick with Osmows Shawarma for now.

Food is very tasty. Amongst the best wraps weve had in the Pickering area. Fries are especially tasty. Deep fried and crunchy and flavoured with a mild seasoning that is just right.

I stopped in for a shawarma wrap because I was curious about this place. Ive eaten a lot of shawarma. I enjoy the comingling of the flavors of alllllll the toppings. I normally go a little extra on the garlic sauce and hot sauce as well. In this place, they do things a little differently in my opinion. They have a very short menu of toppings and sauces on a paper by the cash. I ordered all the toppings (lettuce, onion, tomato, tunips) and garlic and hot sauce. Waited 5-10 minutes and took my order out. The chicken is seasoned with garam masala, its delicious chicken, but not what I was expecting or wanting in a shawarma. It didnt blend with the other flavors so well. The serving was ok, not generous with the toppings or sauces. And you cant see them making it to ask for it the way you like it.... but it was enough for lunch. I am sad to report i wasnt impressed with this menu item. However, the restaurant was clean, the cashier very friendly and inviting. Id go back, but not for the shawarma - Id try something new here and stick to my regular shawarma spots for a tasty wrap or platter.

We went to the pickering location for dine in with our 2 years old baby.It was so cold inside.May be the employees are working near the grill thats why they dont feel the necessity of turning the heating on, but they should think about customers too We ordered chicken shwarma on the rice.The food was average.Rice was too oily and not properly cooked.The chicken was hard too,not soft and juicy. The staffs were amazing. Their service and behavior was nice. The restaurant was very neat and clean too. Kid-friendliness: No

By far my worst shawarma experience in my life yesterday. I asked for tomatoes, onions, lettuce, turnip can someone spot all those items in the picture cause I couldn t. The guy doing the wraps hates his job and has a terrible attitude. Chicken was cold. Do the franchise a favour and shut this location down. Waste of $13

Very mediocre and tasteless shawarma. The bread is also very bland and the entire wrap just tastes of sauce. However, it s still better than osmows.

Horrible sense of running a restaurant, I ordered the filial wrap from the vegetarian section. Being a pure veg I had to ask them to change their gloves that was constantly touching various meats before making my wrap. This should have been common knowledge They did change the gloves but then they continued and put the wrap on the same grill with all the meat wraps. I felt horrible, and could not even taking a bite of food covered with meat fat, so I ended up throwing the entire wrap. Absolute disrespect to vegetarians

Newly opened in Pickering Area. Very spacious, has big windows and the restaurant looks neat and clean. The chef was very friendly, and he gave us exactly how we wanted the shawarma. I have been to other shawarma royal franchises in GTA and this is is really good. I got the King Shawarma Meal and chicken was cooked to perfection and the wrap was crunchy yet soft. The lady at the counter was also very patient and nice. Definitely coming back here again!

This is easily my new favourite restaurant in the Scarborough area! I have never written a review before for a restaurant but my expirience was so good I just had to. The food was spectacular, easily the best shawarma I ever had, the service was straight to the point, and the owner was very nice to talk to. Will definately be frequenting this place for the rest of my life! /10 would reccomend.

Family platter is small and overpriced. No salad, rice, humus tabouli and that great white oil lemon spread were included. I suspect most places in Toronto are like this. In Ottawa there is TWICE AS MUCH FOOD and twice as many things for same price. In ottawa shawarmas taste authentic Lebanese or Arabic. Here not. :-( Probably, not for sure, higher tip amount was auto added not withstanding I chose a lower amount. They Spoke neither good English nor Arabic.

The food here is amazing. One thing I love about it is the platter. With a platter the shawarma is cut into pieces. One thing I love about the platter is no wasting food. Thats why the name it self is SHAWARMA ROYALE!!! :)

Not satisfied with the Mix platter that I received from shawarma Royale. First of all, I preordered my mix platter at 11:30am to be picked up for 9:30pm. When I arrived at 9:30pm, the man making the shawarmas advised that it will take 5-6minutes to complete my order. At 9:50pm, I received my order I asked the lady behind the counter to confirm my order that I placed initially with half chicken and half kabob wrap. She confirmed yes twice. The minute I opened my platter it was beef wrap instead of a Kebob wrap. Prior to leaving the store the man tried apologizing, by than it s too late. Word to the wise when you forget to make an order you should apologize for your error to the customer right away and not wait until after you receive your platter and forget to make the order to your specification. I normally do not write reviews, but for the money you pay for this platter and the level of service you receive, It should go hand in hand. please make sure to take care of your customers and offer some incentives for your error it s just good customer service..

One of the best shawarma s in Durham region. Amazing taste, reminds me of proper middle eastern flavour. Staff is very friendly. The ambience beats some of the leading 5 star luxurious joints. I will be visiting more for sure and recommend this without doubt. On the hind side, the size of their wraps or meals are half of the regular shawarma s given by competitors. I would love to see more quantity or even see a super king size wraps. I had to take 2 wraps to fulfill my hunger, which felt a bit pricy for shawarma.

The worst customer service Ive ever experienced. I ordered 2 plates. One chicken one beef. One with fries One with rice. Both came with rice. I took one back and said no I ordered one with fries. How hard is it to follow instructions on the slip? Or maybe get someone who can speak English behind the counter...

The King Shawarma was extremely disappointing and really nothing special to it. You would think for the price and the added word king it would be bigger than normal. Its infact just a regular sized overpriced mediocre shawarma that barely had any meat in it.

Customer service is non existent here. EXTREMELY OVERPRICED!! The cook was wearing very dirty clothes that exposed his neck and back hair a ton. I can only imagine how many times people must ve found hair in their food, guess I got lucky. I hope they put some money into buying their employees shirts, surely they have enough with how renovated this place was. Shawarma was below average. Nothing crazy. Im not coming back here unfortunately

Love this location! I have been here many times. The shawarma plates and wraps here are amazing. However, I d say the wraps here are my favourite. Perfect amount of fillings and sauce. Plus the bread they use for the wrap is so good! All the workers are very nice and friendly. They go above and beyond. One of the times I went they accidentally put hot sauce on mine. They were very nice about the mistake and quickly remade it for me no problem. This location is my go to to shawarma spot! Definitely try the coleslaw here as well!

Pickering location- friendly staff, clean restaurant, food looks fresh. I ordered the the Chicken Shawarma with everything aside from pomegranate molasses. Unfortunately it was flavourless, greasy and toppings minimal.

Sorry to post such review but I did not enjoy the food at all! They let go to all the professional men who used to work there and hired females only. Their employees did not know how to wrap the shawarma without adding pita bread (which I do not prefer) but I didn t mind it. I ordered two meals and happened to find tiny black hair to two shawarmas in the same box. Their recipe is different now and if they didn t add hot sauce to the chicken, it wouldn t taste fair.

The hijabi at the front was very rude, no customer service skills what s so ever. The cook was in dirty clothes and sweatpants, and you could see his joe boxers, 2 shawarmas and a coke $36.

The food is second to none in Pickering for what they serve. Yes it is pricier than other places but the quality and the staff make it worth the difference.

I was really excited to try this place as it recently opened up in my area, but the slow service was really disappointing. I was out running some errands on the Saturday afternoon and decided to stop by here to get a shawarma wrap for lunch. Usually, when ordered from a fast casual restaurant, the orders are made within a pretty fast window of time, but here the time it took from me to order and actually receive my food was more than 20min for one single wrap. I decided to go with the Queen Chicken Wrap, which is a bit smaller than the King Wrap, but a bit larger than the Prince Chicken Wrap. The wrap was pretty good, but the options they had for toppings wasnt much, so I was slightly disappointed. Overall, the staff were kind and tried their best, but based on the food and slow service, I dont think I will be back. Something to note, is that this style of shawarma is Syrian style which means they use a different type of pita bread and add pomegranate molasses to their dishes.

Not bad. They need a better workflow, more similar to other Shawarma restaurants. The chicken was tasty. Falafel is below average. The sauces are good, but they need to give you much more than is in those small 1oz containers.

Incredible service and food was so delicious. It was really nice that they asked after how my meal was. Such a loving, friendly energy plus the environment is super clean. Portion size for the Queen Beef and Lamb Wrap was bigger than I expected, which was awesome. Great price value. I love what they also did with the wrap. So crisp! Perfect texture. Ive never had it like that before. Really nice touch. Thank you for such a great experience. I was really craving shawarma haha!
