Àashiana Shawarma and Kebab in Pickering

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!!!

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 went for takeout and was greeted with fantastic customer service and pride in their food. Had a chicken shawarma and seekh kebab dinner and great portion and flavor. Will be going back for sure!

Amazing afghan food made by wonderful people. definitely give them a try.

Two bites in - this has to be one of the best shawarma places in the GTA. Absolutely unreal flavour, gigantic portion, very reasonable price. I wish I lived closer to here!

The Kabab plate was amazing, fresh quality authentic Afghan food. The customer service was outstanding i recommend all to try this restaurant.

Just awesome.. It s worth trying it out.

Best food i have tried yet

Friendly staff, fresh food and super aware of allergies and sensitivities.

Excellent and quick service. They were out of Samosas for the Big Platter but replaced them with other stuff. Very Generous portions and great price point. Will keep coming back.

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.

Our very white family loves this restaurant, the flavour and quality of the food is perfect and the prices cant be beat.

Best chicken shawarma in Durham.

Dam, best falafel Ive ever had. Will be back!!

Amazing quality of food and large portion size for the price. We will definitely be coming back for more.

Absolutely delicious wraps, very satisfying.

I had the Chicken Tandoori wrap today, excellent taste and service.

We had the Chicken and Salad and a Chicken Shawarma wrap, both were really flavourful, the sauce, fresh vegetables and pickles were so good. Will definitely be ordering food here again!

Awesome Shawarma !! The highlight is the bread and the juicy chicken..

Best shawarma

Loved the Shwarama and Biryani. Reasonable pricing and tastes great.

Fantastic food and service. I was greeted warmly and treated incredibly well as a first-time customer. The chicken shawarma was extremely good, especially with the little green sauce. Im glad to find my favourite shawarma place in Pickering!

Delicious shawarma and rice platters. Fresh vegetables and prepared with care

New restaurant in the community. The food is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is very humble and open-minded, allowing guests to enjoy the food with a choice of either the house recipe or a creative blend of their own. Id highly recommend this restaurant!

Amazing shawarma! Very tasty, fresh, filling and great toppings. I also tried the chicken biryani which was hot and fresh. Great staff and very clean people. Will definitely go again!

Vegetarian options: It s so much delicious I love this Recommended dishes

Good shawarma, good sauces, fresh ingredients. Reasonable price

Service and food were great, good quality and quantity.

Good service or nice food

Really flavourful chicken biryani. The chicken shawarma plate was really good and loaded with lots of veggies in the salad. Highly recommend and would totally come back again to try the chicken shawarma wrap.

Delicious chicken shawarma! Loved the freshness of the vegetables and the fact they freshly bake their pita. Sauces were tasty too! Well be back :)

One of the hidden gems really good food and very nice people. Food is always fresh and serving size are always generous.

We had the dinner for 4 and it was very good. Everything was warm and tasted great. The customer service was also very good.

Really enjoyed our meal! Will visit again

Friendly owner great value for the price fresh toppings

Amazing food, amazing service and friendly staff. Go and see the down to earth person hussain. Thumbs up

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.

The mixed platter was delicious! Everything was cooked perfectly and portions were generous.

very flavourful, would recommend trying it out!

Good shawarma

Very clean and fresh. Amazing food.

Great place for great food. Really clean and sanitary, ensured top quality taste and ensured top cleanliness. They even offered us an extra free plate of kabuli palao on the house for which tasted amazing .

Amazing food. Employees are kind and friendly.

So good foods

Food is really good, fresh and tasty. Made with so much care and patience

Amazing service and food

Great service, very clean, very nice atmosphere, well priced, Best shawarma I ve had in Canada!! Highly recommend

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. Its a family owned establishment and the owners are very friendly and courteous. Just be aware that its more of a takeout place and probably dine-in is for 5-6 ppl only.

Excellent food. The meat wraps and dinners were fresh and tasty. The staff were extremely courteous.

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!

Very courteous and friendly owners. Really, really good, flavourful and authentic food. Reasonably priced. We had the beef kebab roll, chicken shawarma plate, biryani, and chicken shawarma wrap. Can t wait to go back for more. Definitely a hidden gem in Pickering!

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.

Delicious food with fantastic service and caring staff.

Family owned place food super fresh if you go call in advance for their specialty items and you won t be disappointed Fresh bread made constantly

Amazing service and food, kind staff. This place needs to be more known best shawarma Ive had so far in Canada, I had the chicken shawarma.

I finally had a chance to try this place out. I had the chicken shawarma wrap and fries. They were both so delicious. They use only the freshest toppings and provide quite a generous portion of chicken on the shawarma. Amazing customer service. Im so glad that I finally found a proper authentic shawarma spot in the Pickering area. I will definitely be returning and will make sure to refer my friends and family here. Parking: Plaza with ample amount of parking.

Great little family run shawarma shop. Good size wrap - I really enjoy the fresh bread they use for the wrap and the sauces. Friendly staff and amazing food. Will definitely be back here.

Very friendly staff that take pride in their food . Great prices and quality . Will go again !!

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!

Weve tried Aashiana a few times now, and its always been a good experience. The food is flavourful and fresh, and the service has always been great.

Amazing food and great customer service.

Delicious!! Went there for the second time and the staff are so nice and the food is amazing. Would definitely visit again. This place is better than any chain shawarma spot

Amazing place!! Came here for the second time today and the staff are so kind and the food is great! I got the half rice and half fries shawarma plate and the fries are amazing. Couldn t recommend more.

Amazing food and must try this gem located in pickering! Value for money and the quantity served. Had a chance to have the chicken shawarma and biryani both were amazing and meat was very tender and cooked to perfection! Absolutely loved it. Cheers

Absolutely incredible food!

The people working are so friendly and the food was amazing! We live in Montreal and love shawarma and haven t been able to find one quite as good as we find there when travelling. This far beyond exceeded my expectations! Excellent food and great service. I ate it too fast to take a picture. I had the shawarma on salad with garlic sauce and hummus. Vegetarian options: They have falafels Kid-friendliness: My son (7) and daughter (2 1/2) enjoyed a chicken shawarma wrap. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is

AMAZING. I never review places, but this one deserves one. Stand out shawarma, so glad to have found this place in Pickering!!!!

The place is really clean and hygienic, the food quality is great especially rice and fries with great garlic sauce, they give me a free pop

Best shawarma this side if the GTA. Friendly and courteous staff, generous portions, quality fresh ingredients but the sauce really stood out for me. Support this local joint !! Glad I found it Parking: Loads of free parking

Best afghani food in the area! The customer service is top notch as well. Highly recommended!

Food was delicious and fresh great portion for price. The man making the food took precise care and detail to putting plate together overall good experience. I would return back

The shawarma spot exceeded expectations! The freshness of the ingredients made a noticeable difference, and the kindness and helpfulness of the two ladies added a warm touch to the experience. A must-try for shawarma enthusiasts!

Two employees were really nice and the food is great. Highly recommend visiting if you are in the area!

Naan is made in a tandoor oven. Everything is freshly made to order

Parking: The guy who served us was super nice and food was yummy. Thanks Food : 5/5

Ordered the chicken wrap and chicken plate. Both very tasty. Loved the chicken wrap!

This Afghan gem offers an unforgettable culinary journey. The Uzbeki palau with lamb shank steals the spotlight with its tantalizing flavors and authenticity. Each bite is a symphony of taste, leaving you craving more. The attentive customer service elevates the dining experience, making you feel valued and appreciated. Its a must-visit destination for anyone seeking exceptional Middle Eastern cuisine and top-notch hospitality. Parking: There is plenty of room for free parking, easy access to 401

One of the most underrated places, got the shawarma and the sauces were amazing. Definitely coming back Kid-friendliness: Very nice employees

huge shawarma, without further ado, the most delicious shawarma in GTA

Probably the best shawarma I ve had in Pickering.

I have been here twice. First visit, tried the chicken shawarma plate (pictured as such). And second time, through Uber Eats with a co worker, trying the chicken shawarma wrap, fries, and roll sauce. One of the best shawarma places in all of the GTA! The chicken is seasoned well and not dry, vegetables taste fresh, the rice tasted fresh and fragrant. Service was fast and friendly, no complaints!

Amazing

My family and I had 4 chicken shawarma wraps. And they were amazing. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned along with crunchy vegetables . Also, the bell peppers gave it a spicy kick. The service was excellent the owners are very friendly, they gave the kids free fries. All in all, it was a great experience, and I would go back there. Great food, great service.

I had a great experience at this place. So friendly and amazing food.

This is a great shawarma place. The ingredients were fresh even when i went late at night. The chicken was tender and filled with flavour. The pita and sauces are made in house and you can get your wrap extra toasted. 2 wraps for $15 plus taxes and they were decent sized wraps.

One of the best foods I ever tasted! Great food and great service!

The best in the area

Amazing food and service! Highly recommend!!

Wonderful owners and even better food! Absolutely love this place and will definitely come back for more. Their shawarma is a must try!!!

Very pleased with the family platter that I recently ordered. The food was delicious and fresh, and the customer service was excellent! Looking forward to visiting again!

I had Shawarma in many places. But this place has taken the top of my list. I would definitely come again with my mates to try their other things from the menu.

Always fresh and absolutely delicious Shawarma and kebabs.Generous portions amazing customer experience. Love the place, will come back soon.

This place has the best Uzbaki palow and Shawarma wraps. Chicken kabab is very tasty. Best place for family, my kids love the food. Generous portions. Great customer service. Love the place!!!!!

The owner was very friendly, food was great and environment is super.

I found this place on a fluke and absolutely love it! The food is amazing and portioned appropriately and the staff here are great! Ill definitely be back.

Food was great, and owners are very nice

Had a chicken shwarma , great portion and one of the best shwarma i ever had. Excellent service and very friendly owners will be back for more

Briyani was fresh and delicious. It was packaged directly from the pot, so was piping hot. Riata was the best I ever had. Ask and pay for extra.

Amazing food!

First time dining at this establishment and the food was excellent, service was great and food was responsibly priced. As we were sitting and eating a server came over with another meal for free to try out. That was a nice touch. Will definitely come back.

Amazing food!

So delicious and so fresh!!! Really good service. A new favourite.

New to the city but very original taste. Have had it twice and i recommend!

Amazing shwarma deal. Great portion size especially for the price. Probably one of the largest shwarmas Ive ever had and for $9 it was worth every penny

chicken biriyani was really flavourful/fresh some of the best ive had

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. Absolutely incredible food, all homemade, and very kind people running the shop. 11/10 would recommend and will absolutely be returning. Edit: I ve returned and food was still excellent. Consistent quality, large portions and friendly service. It is my go-to for shawarma in Pickering.

Best I ever had !!! Food is cooked infront of you, everything is fresh and halal and recommend it !!!

Had the shawarma wrap and honestly the best I ever had! Would definitely be coming back!

Moved from Brampton to Durham, hard to find a shawarma spot in the area that tops this! Food was freshly made, service was top tier, definitely will be coming back.

Extremely good service extremely good people they delivered to me after they closed and personally. So kind fast and absolutely delicious amazing food I ordered 3 days in a row.

Very great place. Nice TV with sports playing, great food, kind people working there. 5 stars would come again

Best shawarmas in Pickering

Great food full of flavour. Service is very kind and friendly. Our new go-to spot!

Love the food here everything is great. Personally I think there are better hot sauces you can use for your shawarma and shawarma plates. The one you currently use is a bit salty.

The tastiest shawarma Ive had since I came to Toronto

Owner is a very humble guy ! Food speaks for itself... great prices and even better flavor. Congrats on opening your business wish you the best and more orders from me soon

Great shawarma and excellent portions. Great work!

Homely food feeling. My all time go-to place for Kebab, Shawarma and Biryani.
