We LOVE crossing the bridge to go to Georgie’s. When you walk in you’re greeted and treated like family that’s come to visit. The food is homemade and delicious. We always order too much and bring it home. The story of Georgie’s immigration to Canada is posted from the newspaper- a happy ending. Highly recommend.

Falafel plate so good it brought actual tears to my eyes. Vegan tears of joy- so nourishing and delicious. So grateful to have the opportunity to eat here 🥹💙🙏🙌

Delicious Syrian food. The seasoning in the slow cooked chicken thigh shawarma made for such a memorable meal. Also, meeting Georgie was such a treat. You can tell he puts a lot of love into his food and customer experience. He served us a cup of lentil soup on the house while we waited for our takeout meal.

WOW!!! Being an Arab myself from the Middle East, I know what the authentic taste of so many dishes should be and this restaurant is for sure delivering the authentic taste for everything. The chicken shawarma is so fresh and marinated with the right spices wrapped in a delicate saj bread. The presentation of the dish is savoury yet gives you that feeling that this food was prepared by a family member with love. The falafel are so good, it's very rare to find a restaurant that knows how to make falafel. This one knows what they are doing, though I would suggest they serve the falafel plate with a side plate of bread so one would enjoy assembling their own wrap. I'm glad we decided to try Georgies during our visit and I encourage everyone who visits the city to come by and try the food. The complimentary tea is so good, it have a cinnamon flavour. So proud of you guys.

Travelled from Vancouver to see family in the Sault and was told I had to visit this spot for the best shawarma and it was amazing. The bread was fresh and the hummus dip is an absolute must. So good. We will be back!

Great for authentic Syrian fare. As a seasoned traveler and confirmed food lover I have to say this was the best Baklava I've ever had. I tried to order some to go after my meal but they had sold out and were making more. All food is fresh and made to order. A nice hidden gem in Sault Ste Marie.

This is my absolute favourite restaurant in the Soo! I’m moving in a couple of days and had to have the falafel wrap and best hummus one more time! I will miss you Georgie’s!

Terrible customer service. Will never go there again.

December 16, 2024

I m shook by this and still shaking I went to Georgie s Shawarma for a falafel wrap and dessert today. The dessert was posted at $4 and noticed I was charged $10. Very nicely I asked the cashier about it and she said they ran out of the small portions. Given that I did not get the dessert yet, I said could you please refund it. She said George has to do that. I went and sat down at my table on my phone when George came speaking down at me and saying I ve to be nice to him and his staff. For a second, I thought he was joking. So I smiled and said, are you serious? He started yelling. Took the food back and the whole way back to the kitchen talked about banning me. I went back to the cashier and asked for my money back please. Since I had no food and was told I wasn t welcome there. He charged out of the kitchen took the receipt and crumbled it and told me to go complain. I got my jacket and came back again when I recorded this video and asked if he ll give me my money. He refused. I stopped recording and left! I am in shock and extremely upset for receiving such mistreatment and embarrassment. Still no food and he took $27 plus from me. Anyone with ideas on how to get my money back please? Definitely not going back there again! I can t believe I was treated this way even though I was not agressive or mean or did anything to deserve such abuse.

Wow! So impressive! I came from Ottawa. I eat at Shwarma places there all the time. Georgies is off the scale good! The falafels must be homemade. They were crispy on the outside and the inside was a perfect texture and level of moistness. The sesame seeds popped with flavour. I had the falafel plate and everything was super fresh and delicious. Ill definitely return.

We all make choices in life. Ive never spoken to Georgie, other than maybe saying thanks for holding a door for me. I think its him? Seemed nice. I should tell him now: For 3 or 4 years now this is my favourite falafel north of Ottawa. You walk in. You know this is not a place where bullying or hurtful could ever happen. The feel of the place is not ascribing to any doctrine but inclusive love. But you know. YOU KNOW. You know this is a place built on love. I prefer to cross Ontario on smaller roads. I cross often. The bread, babaganoush, and, well, everything is worth the detour. Good intention makes the best food. And this is that. Vegetarian options: Yes.

Never had such an amazing shawarma in my life. I got the untraditional one and the serving, the size, the price was super great. Normally where ve I have had shawarma before they just add more and more salads n veg stuff and chicken or meat is always too little. This shawarma great meat portion and well balanced salads as well. It was an overall awesome experience. By the way, they gave a complementary tea n it reminded me of middle eastern time n flavours. Highly recommend for all, specially Halal food lovers

Fantastic spot. Wasn t able to check it out during my first visit to the Soo, but was keen to try it s the next opportunity. So glad I was able to make it here. It was the best chicken shawarma I have ever tasted. The Staff was very kind, excellent service. They offered a sample of the lentil soup and seeing I had to head out quickly, very thoughtfully brought it in a to-go cup. Only great things to say and hope to see them continue to thrive!

Everything was delicious, the flavors are absolutely divine! The best traditional shawarma Ive ever eaten, the basmatti rice with cumin and caraway topped with cashews. Hummus to die for, so smooth...the garlic sauce just right. Salad with pickles and a whole pepper. Definitely returning. Very authentic!

My wife and I stopped in our way across the border. The servings were large so we decided to split one. We ve had swarma down state but this was an interesting twist on flavors. Maybe it was a Syrian thing. The owner stopped by to talk with us and gave us some hummus. It was a great lunch.

Just loved our experience at Georgie s! We needed takeout to bring back to our hotel and this hit the spot. Food was fresh, and so delicious. They served free chai tea while I waited for my food. Got the traditional shawarma and untraditional, and falafel rice bowl. The traditional shawarma was our favourite - we are used the untraditional one but this one had pickles and a sweet sauce. Super well balanced. Generous portions. The falafel might be one of the best we ve had. Must try spot!!

As a customer the restaurant is Syrian Middle Eastern. As for parking simply park at the shopping mall and walk over to eat and then walk back over to the shopping mall and look inside for some other things to do. The mall is kid friendly in the evening as I have children and they really like that place but only late afternoon opening. Late lunch then a evening children s play date at the mall shopping center close by. Just my personal thoughts!

★★★★★
August 23, 2024

Food is always delicious and quite refreshing because it is a different flavour palate than what is typically offered in the Soo. I would say this is the best middle eastern restaurant in town.

Ive eaten here before and the food is spectacular. We tried a bit of everything. As soon as you walk in the smell of the complimentary chai tea fills the air. 11/10 stars for the over-the-top customer service. I came in to buy a gift card and a water bottle and the staff offered the water at no cost. If you want to feel like family, in a clean vibrant atmosphere with excellent customer service. I highly suggest coming here!

WOW. Super glad I found this little gem. It might be the best damn shawarma I have ever had in Canada. I got the traditional and was originally thinking that $15+ tax was a bit pricey for the Soo. But its like a foot long and packed with meat. I could only eat half lol. A colleague got the falahel plate and it was amazing as well. Highly recommend

Had lunch there today with my daughters. We all had chicken shawarma. Amazing flavour from the spices, hummus, garlic sauce, pickled veg. Tried the falafel with the homemade Hummus and sauces. Very very good. The saj bread was really incredible, warm and chewy, great for dipping in all the sauces. The owner came over a few times, extremely nice and welcoming( treated us to some baklava). Looking forward the next visit already.

Georgies Shawarma offers an ambiance that authentically captures Turkish vibes, setting the stage for a delightful culinary experience. Opting for the chicken shawarma, I found the portion size to be more than generous for a single individual, boasting an impressive quantity that leaves one satisfied. The flavors and sauces were nothing short of outstanding, elevating the dish to a memorable level. However, I must express some reservation regarding the pricing; at $16 to $18 for a single shawarma, it veers towards the expensive side. Despite this concern, the experience proved worthwhile, particularly given the complimentary Turkish Coffee a thoughtful touch that adds to the overall charm of Georgies Shawarma.

This is a gem of a restaurant. Amazing service, food, and staff. Large portions, extremely flavourful. This isnt fast food shawarma (although they certainly are fast at preparing it). This is the real deal, everything is fresh and every recipe is clearly a well honed dish. Much appreciated by a guy who used to think the Italian restaurants were the best our city had to offer. Georgies certainly contends with the best.

Best shawarma wrap in the Sault. The portion of their shawarma is huge. The spices in their wrap are not overpowering. I love it. The price range is affordable. They have a friendly staff. The dining table, as well as the toilet room, is very clean.

Not food intolerance or allergy friendly. We stopped at Georgies at the beginning of a nine hour road trip for lunch. I ordered a falafel, and made a request for specific vegetables to be omitted from the usual construction because I have a severe food intolerance. To their credit, the counter staff tried to honor that request, but a stubborn chef in the kitchen refused to respect my explicit dietary need. He told the wait staff--and me--that the sandwich would not work without the usual vegetables. I had to pick out what I know makes me sick from the falafel. I ended up missing some, and ultimately vomiting in severe distress for the entire length of our road trip home....Respecting customer wishes about their own dietary requirements is basic health and safety. Be better Georgies.

De-LICIOUS food. Their sauce gives the Falafel a unique flavour that is not matched in any other falafel sandwich Ive eaten in Canada, and their untraditional shawarma mixes delicious Indian rice with their seasoned chicken and pomegranate pieces. Absolutely recommend going to this restaurant if you are in the area

We go here all the time, foods always been great. Since they changed staff, food quality has been changed. Today food was super cold, chiken was hard as rock, falafal was cold directly came from freezer, pita bread was super cold, asked to change it, kitchen lady denied and said that s the food we serve. New kitchen staff is rude, don t know what she is doing. If this kind of food being served by this staff, would never visit again. Old staff was way better and service was up to the mark but not anymore.

Georgie s untraditional Shawarma on rice is the best Shawarma we ve ever had, with a beautiful blend of spices and warm Saj bread. The complexity of flavours and textures was notable, between the pickled turnip and peppers, lemon, the sweetness/bitterness of the pomegranate, and fluffy, creamy rice. The chicken was tender, not greasy. So good that we came back a couple of days later and ordered the same thing again.

Its been sometime after I visited this place and it had trained its excellent cuisine. The falafel are an all time favorites for me but the chicken shawarma is amazing too. This time I saw shawarma on rice on the menu. I dunno whether this has been there forever but it is a wholesome meal as my friend commended. The yellow rice is flaky and full of flavor topped with chicken shawarma and salad.u also get a serving of saj bread as well. Dont eat before u come here...koz u will leave belly full and satisfied. Vegetarian options: Falafel wrap and chips combo is very filling and tasty

I ve never had lamb before, but I will certainly be trying it again; it was absolutely phenomenal! The staff are incredibly kind and you can tell that they genuinely love what they do.

So, every once in a while, I am pleasantly surprised by food offerings in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. Typically, the Soo is known for its Italian cuisine, but recently, I have had the pleasure of dining at Georgies Shawarma. The flavors and combinations in your wraps or on your plate work so well. Yes you can get some spicy or garlic induced dishes, but hey, all the better. The food is amazing and the costumer service is spot on. If youre after some authentic, flavorful food, try Georgies Shawarma on Elgin Street ..a small place with tonnes of authenticity.

Ordered this untraditional shawarma sandwich and it was filled with overpowering flavors in the wrap which actually made me a bit sick. The garlic was way too much, I ordered no onions however they still put them in, and there was a sweetness in the wrap. There was definitely too many flavours going on and they missed the point of making the chicken the highlight. I was told that there falafel is good and I would give them the benefit of the doubt and come back to try that instead. I wish this place the best of luck as it seems that the locals admire this establishment.

Stayed the night in Sault Ste Marie and was looking for something good to eat. Went to Google trying to find any kebab or chicken spots with a good reputation and came across Georgies. Im glad we did. We had a nice simple lunch. I had the traditional chicken shawarma, my friend had the untraditional chicken plate on rice. We were impressed with the first bite. Halfway thru our meal the owner came out and greeted us. Great guy. You can tell he takes pride in his food. I am hard to impress when it comes to food from Al-Sham area (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine) and his food was VERY impressive. The residents of Sault Ste Marie have a gem in their downtown. And visitors should definitely check him out.

This is hands down the best food you can probably get in Ontario. Literally the first thing I do when I visit my father in the Soo, which luckily I do a few times a year, I go straight to this place. I have no idea what they are doing so much differently than other shawarma places, but it is to die for. This is an absolute must if you live in the Soo and have not tried it. If you are visiting, make this your first stop. Had to write this as I await my shawarma now, which is on its way to me while I write this!
