Picked up a platter for four for just $49.99 which was amazing value! It came with shawarma wraps, chicken Biryani, beef seekh kebabs, tandoori chicken kebabs, white rice, 10 samosas, fries and 4 pops. It fed us for days! The food was freshly prepared and tasty. Not the best we've had but still quite good. I do wish the samosas had more spices and seasoning to it. It's mostly a takeout spot and staff are friendly and efficient.

Went here Friday after finding this restaurant online and reading other good reviews. Location isn’t the best, it is kind of hidden away, but what a great place to eat. The food was amazing, great flavours, crispy, fresh vegetables and friendly service. Top notch, and what made it better was that they put the hummus on the chicken and rice, not on the side. 👌🏻

Ordered online and went to pickup. Storefront is not the greatest but I was quite surprised by the freshness of the salad and food in general. Everything was tasty and good portion size. Chicken while flavorful had several chewy sinew pieces but would still recommend.

I got a chicken shawarma plate, with their house garlic sauce. It was so amazing! Very filling and Perfect portion! The quality of the shawarma is excellent and Grilled. They don’t hold back on the meat. Combination of delicious cooked Shawarma rice or Pilaf was the best. Great toppings.The staff were all so friendly, the restaurant clean and spacious.

Staff was very friendly and kind, food was made fresh and to order. The Platter for 4 people was huge! 4 large guys post gym could barely finish this, it's more than enough for a regular family of 5/6. Prices were reasonable as well. The Chicken Shawarma was delicious, the Chicken Biryani was delicious as well. Will definitely be coming back.

For a quaint take out thats only a year old and tucked away in a discreet lane, the food was pretty good and the chutney was literally mind-boggling (mint and chilli ) The staff were kind and the restaurant was clean. It is a take-out only place so dont expect frills but for reasonably priced good food, they definitely hit the mark. [Picture of platter for 4 taken after wed already had a first go-around as we were hungry :) ]

Tasty Shawarma Salad!!!

November 22, 2024

Asked for chicken on rice and to add turnips was told they cannot do it. I don t understand why adding a topping to my chicken and rice can t be done? I said I will pay extra but was still told no. Just surprised to hear if you want toppings you neeed to order the whole plate .

I ordered because of the reviews but it wasnt up to the standard. The chicken on rice barely has anything chicken and whatever chicken was there was drowning in the sauce. Barely ate, going to cook something now still hungry

Changing my review. Weve ordered from here a few times and food has been good. However, they do not take food allergies seriously. So please be careful and triple check with them about your order. Dont just take their word. Disappointed with the latest service we received.

The wrap I had was awesome!! I eat a fair amount of Shawarma and dont usually leave reviews unless something really stands out. the wrap was like a hybrid between a regular and Saj wrap and the portion (Meat/Toppings) was much larger than most places I visit regularly. Of course, it would not mean much if it didnt taste good and let me tell you it was really good, lots of flavor and toppings were fresh. Would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area, price was also much less than what Im used to paying, paid sub $12.00 for a massive wrap and a drink.

Ordered a platter for 4 for the first time from here and it was really good. All items were carefully made and tasty. It was very reasonably priced as well.

Mainly serving take-out shawarma and kababs, Aashiana Shawarma and Kabab offers very tasty food at a reasonable price. The house-made sauces are delicious, and the chicken in the chicken shawarma was so fresh tasting! Staff is friendly, kind and helpful. They were out of biryani, but based on other reviews, I will be back to try some. I returned the next day, and got some biryani. It is excellent. I totally recommend Aashiana Kabab!

I was excited to get my food from here got the Shawarma plate and Kebab .. 1st off Chicken did not taste like it was off the rotisserie. I would know it would have been crunchy. The chicken was all dark meat not seasoned very well chewy and drowning in sauce. 2. The vegetables were very bland not fresh was kinda sad 3. The Kebab stuck on top of random veggies was not hitting the mark. Over all not a bad place if your hungry but wont be going back unless they totally up their game.

I saw the glowing reviews on Google beforehand, and was still pleasantly surprised by my first visit. I visited around 1:30 for a chicken shawarma wrap for a quick lunch. The owner was polite and welcoming, and made it clear that hes trying his best to provide good service to customers. I could tell right away that the pita was freshly made. It had the right amount of chewiness and was very satisfyingly toasted. I could honestly eat it on its own! The sauces were a highlight too; very flavourful and nicely creamy. Also didnt soak straight through the pita like other places. The toppings were all fresh, with crunchy veggies and sizeable chunks of chicken. Overall a delicious shawarma and definitely one of the best in the area! Ill be coming back again, and recommending it to my family as well!
