Zein shawarma in Scarborough

I was their first customer one morning and was in for a treat. I asked for the original chicken shawarma w/fries inside - no mods. Not even extra spicy. Prep was clean, fast, and detailed. Pita prep was also perfect. They nailed it. You can t miss this spot - go get em! Parking: Crowded.

The chicken shawarma was moist and slightly crispy in that perfect family run shawarma restaurant way. The real highlight is the combination of sauces. The garlic, house sauce, tahini and pomegranate sauce complement the chicken without overpowering and make for a wonderful experience. The portion size was perfect. The potatoes and coleslaw were delicious, and while nothing experimental or particularly interesting, the rice was solid. I normally love unique rice approaches at shawarma restaurants, but Im not sure if it would distract a bit from the amazing chicken taste so it might actually be a great call to keep it simple there. Not the most seating but its a clean and welcoming space. Its also not the most important thing, but I also want to highlight the great logo.

RUBA AND KHALIL SERVED US AN AWSUM Shawarma. Great service will definitely be back for its Spicy Chicken Wrap Shawarma.

Hadi was amazing! Perfect chicken shawarma with filling portion size. Went relatively late ( 9pm ), but quality was super good and everything was fresh. Easy recommend 10/10. Food : 5/5

The beef wrap was awesome - beef to veggies to sauce ratio was just right!! I love that they sear the wrap so it has a slight crust. Will definitely be going back to this place!

Great food and warm friendly service. Give it a try.

What a fantastic Shawarma the beef was amazing. The chicken had amazing spices on it, and you have to try the garlic potatoes with the garlic sauce. The reception was amazing and people were super friendly. They even brushed the pita with spicy sauce and it made it all that much better.. I must try have to go to this place.

So innovative & delicious!! The mixture of the different sauces added the wow factor and made this place stand out from the many other shawarma shops nearby. We ordered 2 Arabi platters and one 1 shawarma all on Saj. The platters came with sandwiches & a thin pizza-like concoction. The owners couldn t have been more kind and gave us each a sample of the beef to tempt us for next time. Which there will definitely be!

Great customer service and food. Very quick prep too while explaining all the options. Will definitely go back

I ve tried countless shawarma spots across the city, and Zein s stands out as top tier. The portions are generous, the food quality is exceptional, and the flavors are unmatched. The staff are incredibly friendly, the sauces are phenomenal, and I can t recommend this place enough. Absolutely amazing. 10/10! Would recommend the mixed shawarma wrap or the mixed plate!

The red spicy shawarma was absolutely to die for! It had the perfect balance of sauciness and crunch, bursting with incredible flavors. Every bite tasted amazing! The service was fantastic as well, making the experience even better. Definitely a 5/5! I ll be coming back for sure!

Ten out of ten food

Beef shawarma is very delicious really enjoyed

It was lovely shawarma

Best tasting beef shawarma I ve had in town

Absolutely loved the spicy chicken shawarma It was juicy and just the right amount of sauce.

Amazing shawarma we tried the spicy chicken. Love the flavours and taste. This is one of the underrated shawarma place.

BIG RED SHAWARMA THE BEST

Was surprised that dishes had the same taste as back home! Delicious!

Great food and service. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap with all the usual shawerma toppings. The wrap was toasted on the charcoal for extra smoke. Highly recommend and would come again!

Best shawarma i have had in GTA

Very tasty Shawarma. Next level compared to grocery or other stores. Crafted. Feels home-made. I had the beef. Typically in other restaurants, beef is dry. This was charred but juicy. Potatoes were moist. The people were very friendly. We got a taste of falafel too on the house.

Best ever!

Hands down the best shawarma

Just a solid shawarma. Honestly this is a top 10 place in the GTA easy.

amazing! eat here all the time

Saw this place on Tik Tok and decided to give it a try! Delicious shawarma at a great price! Definitely a tier above the chains, but not quite the best shawarma I ve had in Scarborough.

Really nice falafel wrap

Delicious food, great service

Staff is very friendly, food is delicious Dietary restrictions: Halal Service : 5/5 |

We had the mixed wrap, and shawarma meal. The saj bread was real crisp, and the garlic sauce was a wonderful burst of flavour. The sauces taste fresher than most other places. Staff were great. Definitely a gem in Lawrences necklace of shawarma shops. Food : 5/5

Just tried my first Zein Shawarma. Chicken Shawarma with all the fixings. Delish! All the toppings were fresh. Will have to come back to try the beef as it wasn t ready yet . Great and friendly service from the pretty girl behind the counter!

We arrived almost their closing time but they still accomodate us. Amazing service! Very friendly staff! Delicious food! We will try the other stuff soon! We will recommend this Shawarma restaurant to all of my friends and family

Food was so delicious and fresh.

Great Shawarmas. Highly recommended!

Most amazing taste ever for beef shawarma. Must try the shawarma here, its heavenly tasting shawarma.

Their beef is fire. No cap!

The chicken shawarma wrap was really good

Excellent shawarma try the new spicy shawarma that they just released, really good! Khalil making the shawarma is really kind and hospitable! Highly recommend.

The shawarma is very yum thanks to the authentic saj bread and prefect toast.

The beef is fire Highly recommend the saj bread wraps Food

Staff were very kind and welcoming. Food was amazing.

Decent portions for the price, welcoming staff, lots of options, very tasty! Amazing for take out but the dine in area could be improved.

Recently had their new spicy chicken shawarma wrap which is a little pricy. But it was really delicious and definitely a must have for spicy shawarma lovers.

We came late at night, the service was really good. The ingredients were fresh. Overall great food and customer service!

The spicy shawarma was awesome

The spicy shawarma is worth a try.

It is great

Tried the spicy chicken sandwich and loved it! The chicken was juicy with just the right amount of heat, and the spices were spot on. Fresh toppings and soft bread made it even better. Definitely recommend for a quick, flavorful bite! I appreciate your fantastic suggestion and excellent service. Thank you!!

Amazing food loved the service!

Fantastic value, generous portions, food is delicious!!

Ordered on Uber Eats. Tipped $2 to restaurant. Probably the worst shawarma Ive ever eaten. Ordered quick since I was in a pinch for work. The beef shawarma plate wasnt particularly expensive, so I was curious. Bad quality, fatty meat which lacked flavour. I asked for spicy and was covered with chili paste which didnt taste good - my fault there, but nothing otherwise beneath it in terms of sauce or meat flavour. Like, there was basically no sauce. What there was, bland. Rice was entirely plain. Pure white. Potatoes were okay. Prepackaged coleslaw side and some tahini/hummus on the side but no bread. Ive eaten lots of shawarma but this takes the cake for uninspired and lazy. Its like a microwave dinner.

Love

Relatively new place, excellent food. It s hard to compete in this market especially on Lawrence but this establishment holds its own.

Great food, friendly staff. Spicy sauce super flavourful and made in house

Food was really good, really fast service. MUST RECOMMEND!!

I would like to say that I have not eaten this kind of shawarma since long time ago, you should definitely try this place!!

Ive been on this shawarma kick for the past month or so, so Ive been going to different spots almost weekly. Zein was tonights spot and to be quite honest, its hard to even compare their shawarma to others and I mean that in the best way. The mount of thought and love they put into their food just makes it so special. Their spicy chicken shawarma hit the spot for sure. If you cant handle spice, dont even worry so much about their house sauce because it has just the right amount of spice. Just enough that it didnt take the flavour away from the chicken. I give it a 5/5. On the side I had the garlic potatoes which was also so so good. Another 5/5 for me. The service was so hospitable which made the whole dining experience even better. It felt like you were at someones home while the owner put in so much love and passion in their food. I hope this part especially never changes. Congrats to Zein on what has been a successful first 6 months. Wishing you many more years to come! Ill definitely be back.

Every-bite of the shawarma was delicious. The meat was tender and juicy. Perfect balanced flavour of all the sauces. Highly recommended.

Very tasty shawarma. Wonderful service.

Very tasty shwarma. Perfect amount of spicy.

I had the spicy chicken wrap and can say was one of the most flavorful wraps i have had with a great kick to it...will definitly come again

We visited this shawarma spot for the first time, and it was fantastic! The staff welcomed us warmly and helped us pick some of their best options. The shawarma was delicious juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. Their sauces were incredible, especially the garlic and hot sauce, which added the perfect kick! The team was attentive and made sure we had a great experience. Well definitely be back for more. Highly recommended if youre a shawarma lover!

Amazing

amazing shawarma!!

Out of all the new shawarma places in Scarborough, Zein along with Karaza Shawarma at Kennedy (north of Lawrence) are pretty damn good. Definitely better than the newly opened Mandi s Original Shawarma at Victoria Park & Lawrence. My Number #1 is still Sumaq because of their in-house made bread, but Zein is definitely a great alternative if the wait at Sumaq is way too busy. The only feedback is for the bread to be slightly less toasted as it tasted slightly burnt, but overall a great shawarma especially with their secret sauce .

Great food , great people, made me a new spicy shawarma and I loved it. Will return.

The food is excellent, the service is outstanding.

One of the best shawarma I ve ever had in Scarborough loved it! Try their spicy red shawarma in the menu. One of the best I would suggest

The Shawarma was really great and I highly recommend it. The staffs were very friendly and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

This place was a 10/10. Service is incredible and food is delicious!!

Zein is one of the best shawarma restaurant that I have tried, Authentic and very reasonable for the price! Ali did a great job with his flavors!

Ghadir , nasib, original , Johnnys line them all up They got nothing on the beef shawarma here. Hands down best beef shawarma in TO.

Had spicy bread chicken shawarma and it was too yum and owner was so humble he served by his own

I had a spicy chicken wrap that was exceptionally delicious. The owner s exceptional hospitality and humility further enhanced the dining experience.

The servers were really nice and attentive, food was decent.

Great food

Fire Sharwama was amazing, I highly recommend this place. Food

Awesome, ordered twice in 10 mins....

Found this place through an Instagram video (a guy who reviews food) we walked in, the place was clean which was amazing considering the location. We were instantly greeted by a friendly woman, and big smiles. We were looking to grab a wrap, and they suggested a new wrap that wasn t listed on the menu. When I tell you this wrap was amazing, I am not lying. It was MASSIVE and the spice level was perfect, chicken was moist, the sauces were creamy! 100% would recommend everyone goes and tries this place! Only thing I wish that they had were cucumbers to add to the wrap. Haha Amazing job! We will be back!!

Very good shawarma. Simple clean and as authentic as possible

Tried the new spicy Shawarma , Amazing Taste and great service

Spicy Shawarma is best!! must try the si

The food is really good along with the staff.

Good food and the customer service was excellent. Would come back again

I recently visited Zein Shawarma Spot and was thoroughly impressed! As someone who s a bit of a shawarma enthusiast, I ve tried many places, but this one definitely stands out. The chicken shawarma was perfectly seasoned with just the right balance of spices juicy, tender, and flavorful with a nice char on the outside. The garlic sauce was creamy and tangy, complementing the meat beautifully, and the pita was fresh and soft.

Yummy food would go again great service Kid-friendliness: They don t get mad at kids Food : 5/5 |

I order regularly. Good price and taste

Loved the beef shwarma. One of the best I have tasted in GTA. Pro tip ask them to grill the wrap with hot sauce (it s a bit spicy but sooo worth it. Will definitely be back soon to try more dishes.

Traditional Lebanese shawarma. I had the chicken shawarma which was amazing with the perfect amount of chicken and sauces. They make it based on your preferences. The service is even better than the food. A must try!

Best shawarma on Lawrence!

Wallah wallah wallah one of/the best Shawarma in Scarbro

Zein Shawarma is hands down the best shawarma I ve had in Toronto! The flavors are absolutely incredible, with perfectly seasoned meats that are tender and juicy. The staff is extremely warm and welcoming, paying close attention to every detail of your order and the preparation process. You can tell they take pride in crafting each shawarma to perfection. From the generous portions to the unbeatable taste, this place stands out. If you re looking for top-notch shawarma, Zein is the spot to visit! Parking: The plaza Zein is located at has plenty of free parking available.

This place is sooooo good! The best chicken shawarma plate I ve had in a while

Hi everyone, on my journey today I was taken to Zein shawarma restaurant! The owners are friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to their art. I ordered two wraps one beef and chicken, I was ask authentic style or custom since this was my first time there I said authentic. Both wraps taste amazing I cant wait to go back and try a different dish. Thank you Zein shawarma for 2 great sandwiches.

The girl named ruba is very kind and makes me want to come to the store more often even if it makes me have to buy a shawarma from her positive attitude and serves from the heart! Shes a keeper !!!

Lebanese taste. Good marination on the beef. Just a little dry for everything. But the service is excellent.

Found this place by accident the other day and the food was great , the service was even better . would 100% recommend it . Best spot on Lawrence

Amazing taste

I love their spicy pita!! I got it with the chicken shawarma and we got the regular beef shawarma. The serving is soooo huge, the meat for both sandwiches are overloaded as well as the sauce. We really liked all our orders and we ll surely coming back soon. They re also open until 12mn! This is definitely our new go-to shawarma place in Scarborough now! Vegetarian options: They have veggie wrap (potato wrap with other veggies)

The shawarmas were delicious and reasonably priced, offering a good variety of fillings and sauces. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which added to the enjoyable atmosphere. The shop itself was clean and well-maintained. I would definitely recommend stopping by if youre in the area and craving a satisfying shawarma experience with great service.

Food is amazing, best shawarma I had in awhile on Lawrence strip. Owner is friendly and welcoming

This place is amazing the food was delicious and the customer clientele great I would really recommend this place to friends

The chicken shawarma wrap made in the traditional way was just fire so flavourful

Not much veggies are added

Great food. Shawarma made simple and good. Not to much toppings. Will be back

They have the best shawarma in the GTA

I got food to go. It was one of the worst beef shawarma plates I have ever eaten. The beef was not cooked nicely. They did not add any sauces on top of the beef. They only gave me some garlic paste on the side of the plate. I was very disappointed.

Delicious food and great people!

Good food and very nice staff

10/10 service and food

Alhumduilliah it was very delicious. The cashier was amazing.

Truely Awesome. THE BEST SHAWARMA EVER. The taste is awesome. So much fresh ingredients. Happy faces to welcome you. I loved the hospitality the warmth the food. The best part is chicken shawarma.It tastes different in every bite you take. Loved it .Highly recommended

Highly recommend- the food is amazing and Ruba has the warmest hospitality.

Honestly the best beef shawarma I had in Canada, nothing is compared to Zein Shawrma. Highly recommend!!

I recently had the pleasure of trying Zein Shawarma, and it did not disappoint! The shawarma was packed with flavor, with perfectly seasoned meat that was tender and juicy. The pita was fresh, and the generous portion of toppings added a delightful crunch and freshness to every bite. The garlic sauce was spot-on, adding just the right amount of zing. Whether you re in the mood for a quick bite or a hearty meal, Zein Shawarma is a must-try. Ill definitely be returning to explore more of their menu!

awesome food and friendly staff had the chicken shawarma plate and it was really tasty and filling especially try the fries

Best shawarma i had in awhile I found this place through Tiktok And honestly i would rate it 9/10 MUST TRY FOR YOUR SELF !

Really good food and amazing staff!

We ordered shawerma and it was so delicious and the customer service was spectacular, so professional and very generous and the place is very neat. I would absolutely recommend it to everyone.

The best shawarma in the city. You guys should definitely go there and get your wrap.

Well made, good service ....and Beef meat.....no joke with that....crispy, crunchy and tasty

Great Shwarma!!! Fresh beef

Ali customized our shawarma and made it really well, had a good experience

tasty

Very good restaurant good employees

The best shawarma I ve had in a while

I recently visited Zein Shawarma and had an amazing dining experience! I had the mixed shawarma on saj bread and it was absolutely delicious - the wrap was juicy and packed with flavor. But what truly sets this place apart is their signature hot sauce - it added a depth of flavor that took the shawarma to the next level! My wifes falafel was also a hit, crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was welcoming. The hot sauce is the game-changer, though - its a must-try for anyone looking to elevate their shawarma experience. We cant wait to go back and try more of their mouth-watering options. 5 stars, highly recommended!

I was pleasantly surprised this was so yummy very flavourful. my chicken shawarma plate was cooked to perfection . Definitely recommend 9.5/10. Wish I lived closer.

The food is very good, awesome costumer service very nice.

Syrian shawarma and a quality mark as well! I strongly advise

Taste exactly like back home shawarma yummy we order 4 sandwiches stuff are polite and professional

Great shawarma, great staff!

We went for the first time and we will definitely go back. We tried the spicy chicken wrap on the outside and we loved it.

Its wonderful

Amazing food and amazing prices favourite shawarma spot all time

They didn t have falafel wrap and charged $1 extra without telling me. Pickle and veggies. Could be more guy was really counting pickles

My husband and I had the mixed sharwama and it was so delicious. Friendly staff. Awesome service. Cant wait to bring my kids.

Ruba and Hadi Were great guys whose services were exceptional. My wife and I got the Mixed wrap of Chicken and Beef and OMG!!! The taste and feel was out of this world. Definitely I would be coming back with my Crew again and again. 10 stars to you guys Parking: Free Parking available

Simply the best shawarma in Scarborough
