Shebaz’s Shawarma & Falafel St Thomas in St Thomas

great service, the guy was super nice has conversations with customers super happy guy great food

Best fries. Great deserts. Great food.

Good is always yummy, staff is always friendly! Glad we decided to stop. Love the falafel wraps.

Delicious! Friendly staff and would recommend the beef samosas

Great food, service and atmosphere. The ice cream was a bonus.

Absolutely love the quality and portions of the food. Its only topped by the incredibly friendly/quick service that we always receive when comming here. Food

Great food and service!

1st time here & sad to say it was rather disappointing! Ordered the chicken shawarma & it had absolutely no flavor, the entire thing was blah... and even though he grilled it it was not warm. So disappointed definitely wont be back!

Not worthy, taste was so bad.

Love the butter chicken here. Only place that actually has good butter chicken so far

Good food, great service.

I ve been consistently coming here with friends and family for years and it s never disappointed. It s the best shawarma you ll find in town.

Honestly, its too good here for my meager vocabulary, so Ill let this ice cream dish do the talking for me.

Amazing spot with an amazing food and amazing staff. Would highly recommend

Amazing staff! Guy was very welcoming, positive and friendly!

Best butter chicken sauce I ever tasted served on rice. Truly home made as server s as if. Lamb shawarma great and naan side bread outstanding. Toppped with in house made baklava! to top off.

To say that it was ok is giving it too much credit.food is overpriced for what u get (4 pieces of chicken including one that was half the size of the other pieces).rice had some dried out pieces in it.if we wanted leftovers (thats what it looked like) we would have gone to my friends place and raided the fridge.wish i checked before leaving but it was takeout.we didnt have to wait long but would have waited alittle to get fresher better quality food.

Absolutely delicious! Tried the fusion box and was blown away by the flavors. The butter chicken fries were a standout crispy, savory, and oh-so-satisfying. Cant wait to come back for more!

Food- DELICIOUS and fresh. Staff friendly and helpful.

nice service, amazing food

We thought we would give this place a try. We love Indian food. We ordered the butter chicken. The flavour was great but I need to share that there were six one inch cubes of chicken in the entire large dish. Next, we ordered the chicken kebab appetizer. This was so overcooked that you would have to guess what this was made of, it was dry and could not be cut with a knife. Finally, we ordered two samosas. These too, were overcooked and dry. To top it off, the Naan was a puffy thick bread, not like we are used to from many other Indian restaurants. We gave the place a shot but will not be back. Some work required to cook the food appropriately and change the contents of the butter chicken to represent a reasonable portion.

I used to order here as it was the best middle Eastern food in town. The original owners sold the place and the new owners are scamming everyone. I ordered double chicken. It was less than a regular order, just spread out atop my rice and cold, even though having picked it up promptly. Shelbys will have my business going forward.

Lamb shawarma sauces are always spilling..meat appears to be overcooked every time..ordered fish and kababs through door dash on separate occasions..virtually tasteless and didnt look fresh..gave them 4-5 chances, not visiting again now

First time at this restaurant. Came hungry and not disappointed. My wife had the lamb shawarma with the works and I had the Fusion box. Butter chicken a little overcooked but the flavors were perfect. Who new pickled turnip would taste so good. Best French fries Ive had in St Thomas. Next visit will include an order of fries to go with whatever else well try. Well done, Shebaz!

Good food good service

Unfortunately with the change of ownership, there s been a drastic change in portion size, quality of food & recipes. Shebaz was a favourite stop for us but after 2 disappointing orders, it s unlikely we will return. The butter chicken portion was very small, lacked chicken & the rice was very mushy. The shawarma fries had very little toppings & they added jalapeños which weren t typically on the menu prior to the change. This was disappointing as my husband hates spice. I understand wanting to make some recipes your own, but I think messing with a good thing was a mistake. Hopefully things improve in the future!

Loved the falafel plate

This place is a diamond in the rough. Delicious food and awesome staff. Butter chicken is amazing Definitely becoming a regular here

I ordered veg thali but it was not worth , taste of rice seems like they are old and taste of sabjis was also bad, Waste of 18.5$ For veg thali

Great good, and friendly service. Reasonably priced.

Fantastic food. Good prices. Everything is fresh. Great place

I ordered the chicken shawarma I honestly dont think ill come back I got a little order of taboui salad I didnt like it

Quality Food, worth the price.

Meat isn t on a spit. It s in a bin from the fridge cold. Poured a glass of water over the meat to heat it. No saj just pita bread. Not a good shawarma. First ever shawarma that I couldn t bring myself to eat all of it. Just NO

The only thing that was good were my fries because they werent microwaved.

Yummy food and the owners are always super kind!

Not the same as when Gabby and Doris owned it. The samosas are super spicy now and the sauce tastes like pure vodka...Im sure it isnt but it was gross. The veg curry was good, but I had to ask for it to get toppings...Gabby always just made it amazing. The shawarma fries they put on all the toppings and didnt ask what toppings my daughter wanted so she needed to pick off stuff. Its just not the same...its so sad.

Great food!!

Never once have had a bad experience with Shebaz. The food and service are always above and beyond! I highly recommend to anyone looking for something new to try.

The best falafel wrap I have ever had in my entire life was here. Don t ask questions just go

This place was like an episode on Seinfeld, without the comedy. Almost every menu item was not available... unfortunately we were not told this all at once, the 2 guys working would take the order, go to their deep freezer, fumble around, talk to each other than come to tell us they were out. This happened repeatedly. As we were waiting for our lamb kabobs we looked around.... the place was beyond filthy... even the counters and doors had layers of grime and dirt... All said and done both my partner and I got a bed of lettuce with 3 skewers of crispy burned lamb, that was microwaved from frozen, as it was precooked, and side of hummus. The lamb was still partially frozen in the centre, it was beyond gross. It tasted horrible. Only had the one grotesque bite, sorry but I hate semi frozen food. We threw our food in the garbage... first time for everything! We will never go back.

Good food, good service. I got my order on time, butter chicken was delicious. Definitely i will be back and will recommend everyone to go to this place if they are fan of shawarma and butter chicken. Food

Vegetarian options: I had roti, Chana masala and mix shawarma plate from this place. I am new to the area and went there believing the reviews. The food was really bad, not fresh, tasted as if they had just warmed some ready to eat packets. Also, the wash rooms were dirty, no soap in dispenser and no toilet papers . Never going there again.

I m giving 5 stars because there is only maximum of 5 stars

Simplely the best food around!

Always so friendly (even stayed late to make sure our skip order got picked up). Great customer service and food.. Their shawarmas are our go to!

Really good food! We got the thaali with butter chicken and daal and mixed shawarma (chicken/beef). The daal was really flavorful and authentic. The shawarma was great too. Perfect portions.

We were visiting and looked for Kabob. Paid more than would have in Toronto and kabob s very small and over spiced. Rice over cooked . Salad wilted. Will not return

We got the beef and chicken shawarmas. and it wasnt wrapped properly so it was spilling at the bottom. Ive had shawarmas before and even in the middle east but this was something else. The samosas was literally doused in oil and there was no taste at all. Normally they put the shawarma on the grill to serve it warm, but they didnt do exactly that. Money wasnt well spent but we were hungry.

Good Halal food with good price

The guy working was super nice, fast, but made the food properly. This is the most legit Indian food Ive had outside of Toronto. Best shawarma outside of Toronto, and possible in Ontario.

DELICIOUS! First time being there and I will definitely be a frequent customer!!

The best shawarma place in town or many towns around. These people make food from the heart. I recommend the shawarma bowl with rice or salad. AMAZING!!!

Amazing food & amazing value. Staff was great too!

There food is always fresh and delicious! The Staff are super friendly! Definitely recommend!!

Extremely welcoming and kind staff and outstanding food!

Wow! Just, absolutely amazing! I placed an order through skip the dishes, and after checking out, realized it was pickup not delivery. I called the store, and had the, I believe owner, argue with me about delivery... In a good humour way. She stated I could pay a delivery person (outside contract) 5 dollars for the delivery. I didnt have the cash, so owner insisted she pay the 5, and I get it back to her later, on a later date order. That isnt in my soul. I ended up finding some cash, spoke with owner on another call, and she found a cheap outside contract delivery company to deliver. All in all, great food, exceptional service, and great people. Let us all support one another through these tough times. Namaste

Enjoyed the food, service was friendly. I showed up a little earlier than my time and they were able to put it together quickly.

The food is spectacular and the staff is always friendly. One of my favourite places!

The quality of the food is good and service is also good however the options for delivery and the price increases have let me down as of late. Probably best to just pick up and enjoy !

The lamb shawarma pita is absolutely fantastic. Amazing flavour and a generous portion of lamb!

Picked up an assortment of food for supper and dessert, all of it was high quality, tasted great, and we had some extra for the next day.

Amazing food. Big portions and full of flavour. This was my first visit here and I will be returning for sure

Tonight I tried Shebazs for the first time. The portions are big and food is exceptional. Prices are very reasonable for the large amount of food you recieve. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Definitely a place Ill be returning to frequently.

Butter Chicken, somosas and curry Lamb are consistently great and fast...I had to amend my previous review. I visited yesterday and for the first time asked for the in house made hot sauce...IT IS WONDERFUL! you should totally bottle this stuff

This place is phenomenal, the portions are great and the flavour is beyond expectation! Highly recommend, and try their baklava if you have a sweet tooth!

Very tasty!

This place is amazing! The food is best in town and the owners make it a welcoming expirience!

Delicious shawarma, lots of flavour!

Amazing food! Had butter chicken and chicken shawarma plate. Both were excellent. The service here is so kind and welcoming. Definitely recommend and will definitely come back for more

Fantastic food, perfectly spiced and very fresh. Will definitely order again.

My sisters and I stopped for lunch yesterday. Shawarma chicken pita and chicken curry was delicious! Generous portions and friendly service. Thanks you...until next time.....

chicken was not cooked! And lady at counter was rude!

Fast friendly service, authentic flavours and good portions for the price. We had a mix of pita and rice bowl shawarmas.

Got a chicken salad bowl for lunch. Very fresh and filling. I liked how the lettuce was chopped thin, made stirring all the fixings in easier. Very friendly service.

Bit of a hidden gem. Tasty shawarma, Good portions, friendly staff.

Excellent customer service. The food really taste delicious especially shawarma and butter chicken and samosa

Excellent food!! Tried their beef shawarma and it was absolutely excellent.

Got the beef shawarma & lamb shawarma on pita, it was AMAZING. Great serving sizes and extremely friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back. They also have a great reusable program - bring your own container or rent a reusable container. Forward thinking

We have been to several Middle Eastern and Indian restaurants around Mississauga and London Ontario but the food at Shebaz restaurant in St. Thomas ON was superb. Delicious food and awesome hospitality. We are planning to use their catering facility for our next event.

Delicious.

Thanks for the tip Garry! I had one of the rice plates. Great variety of food to order. Friendly staff. Theres about a dozen other menu items that I must try. Ill definitely be back.

Tasty food. The baklava and Mumbai Fish Fry were super good.

Tasty and unique seasoning and flavor to their chicken shawarma when compared to other common franchises. Great service as well!!

The lamb shawarma is really good.

Didn t realize they were closing when we came in, but my man still took care of us. Food was great!

The food is authentic and delicious. A wonderful and friendly family run business. Generous portions too!!

This might just be my favourite restaurant. They have some of the best middle eastern and Indian food you will ever have. We come here every year when we go to Port Stanley for our summer vacation and we make a point of stopping at this restaurant on our way in and on our way home. Small owner-run place and they put so much love in the food you can t go wrong with anything you order. We love the Mumbai fish fry, chicken shawarma, and the lamb kabobs and get them every time. I ve also tried some of the other Indian curries and they are all excellent. Their baklava is also some of the best we have ever had! We will be back for sure next time we re in the area :)

Best shawarma in town!

Delicious food and really nice people. Highly recommend

Amazing food, shawarma fries are always a go to, amazing staff and owners

Enjoyed their fresh made Middle Eastern food

Best falafel for miles! Always fresh with the perfect blend of aromatic spices, tahini, and hot sauce. Vegetarian options: Vegan, vegetarian and meat dishes

Amazing food great service, everything is always fresh I Love this place and the owners are fantastic people, Gabriel, Doris and Staff are the best. Recommended dishes

One of the best shawarmas we have had from Windsor to Toronto

Very good food

All the food was so good! Try it!

Absolutely amazing. Love that they have the friendly takeout containers. Hopefully, more local restaurants join in. Everytime I go it seems to better

Amazing food and friendly service! We ordered the butter chicken thali and chicken shawarma plate and it was by far the best we have had in the area! Everything was fresh and portions were very generous. Highly recommend giving Shebaz a try!

Update: I reached out to the restaurant as per their reply and they ignored it and didn t respond again. I assume they only replied to look good on this review but had no intention of fixing the issue. I ordered take out from this place and called ahead. Not only was my order wrong, but they were unwilling to make the correct order, yelled at me that the wrong order received was what I ordered and overcharged me higher than their advertised price. Shouldn t be that difficult to get rice with chicken, garlic sauce, tahini sauce and hot sauce right . Will not return after the verbal abuse I received.

Always delicious and friendly customer service great portions Kid-friendliness: I order the shawarma poutine to split with the children they gobble it down everytime

Amazing food decent prices

Parking: big portion was served

Just enjoyed the mixed Shawarma on a pita! Absolutely amazing; will be back again!

Very tasty Vegan food, and full of flavour. Im so happy that there are two restaurants in my area, that have Vegan options. Ill definitely continue supporting this business. We ordered the Falafel dinner with fries, and rice. :)

Tried Shawarma platter, Taste is good,but quantity is way less for $17 platter,not enough for one young person,increase your quantity or reduce the price

Great food, and very friendly people!

The food which is available here is delicious and huge portions, friendly staff with fast serving. Mumbai Fish Fry rice bowl and Lamb Curry rice bowl are my favourite ones.

Good good lovely people. Really like the food here and enjoy the conversations with Doris and Gabriel. A must visit for Indian food in St Thomas

I love Shebaz! Both for the food and customer service. I just enjoyed a delicious lamb curry as my selected birthday lunch. Don t let the gas station location scare you. They are worth the visit!

Delicious

I love this place, whether Im just grabbing a snack for myself of dinner for the family theyre always at the top of my list.

We love the new location and the food and service is just as amazing as always! Doris and Gaby are doing it right!

Worst beef shwarma i ever had in my life

My absolute favorite place for takeout in St. Thomas! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is delicious and fresh. The owners are also lovely!

Amazing! Ive tried two things from shebaz so far, chicken Tikka masala and the butter chicken, and theyve been fantastic. The rice is perfect, the amount of meat and sauce is more than enough, and the flavour hits all the right places. the food gets to you really quickly, and the staff are all pleasant and helpful, especially the woman (whom I assume owns the restaurant) at the cash. THEY ALSO HAVE KULFI,!!! An amazing frozen treat with many unique and complex flavors to choose from. We eneded up grabbing the pistachio, turmeric, and dried fruit ones today, and all of them were SO GOOD. Definitely try one of these on a nice hot day. Thank you so much, shebaz, we will definitely be coming back soon! (So glad you guys moved closer to us. )

If your kids love chicken fingers and fries.. best place to go!

Say Hi to Gabby and Doris. This wonderful couple started this beautiful restaurant dream and it truly reflects in the food they serve. The fish is a must try but honestly try whats new on their menu as they keep reinventing dishes not known to many.

Yum! We loved our meal and the mango smoothie is delicious! The people there are super nice! Im definitely coming back to try everything!!

Hands down the best Middle Eastern / Indian food you will ever have. The friendliest staff too. Love the new location. Do yourself a favour and eat here.

Great service. Good food.

Absolutely amazing food and the service is just as amazing. The new place looks awesome. They hands down have the best butter chicken not to mention the shawarma fry. This is a must try family restaurant.

We love doris and Gabriel !!!! Best family owned business ever !!!! We will always be customers !!!

Always amazing food and service! My new go to for shawarma

Amazing food and super kind and pleasant owners

We absolutely love this place. The food is amazing and the owners are super friendly. The new location is beauitful.

It s is so great having this gem in St Thomas! The shawarma fries are the BOMB!

Extremely good food and service! Chefs and employees are very kind and helpful. Great prices and the baklava is homemade!!

My husband and I both got the tadka daal rice bowls with some Naan and samosas tonight and it was unreal! Weve ordered before when it was in the Ultramar, and its just so nice to see that theyve been able to expand. Consistently delicious food and the staff are just wonderful!!

Delicious

I have had .many different shawarmas before But Shebazs has been the best that Ive had so far. Great food and owners

amazing amazing amazing food! the best! great prices and great people! amazing! I cannot stress this enough!! these guys are the absolute best and make amazingly tasty food!!

Amazing

Good Shawarmas, check out the shawrma fries!

Love it... friendly and nice people... great food...

Giod food good selection amazing owners love this place

The very best. First experienced Shebaz s in Port Stanley ( Now Closed?) rediscovered new Resturant on Ross St. St. Thomas . High quality, generous products, made to your tastes. The line up at the door, at meal times, can be long so go early or a little later. Looks like I was a little too quick with my finger the first time. I gave corrected my rating to five stars. Sorry.

Ordered chicken and beef felafel wrap. It was gross. Could not identify the chicken. Will not order again. Maybe their other dishes are better. But I was not impressed.

FANTASTIC SERVICE and the food is out of this world! The flavors are amazing and its so fresh. I drive 45 mins for this place.

Food was great have the butter chicken...super good

Good food at a good price.

Food was amazing. My girlfriend went in and said they were super friendly. Will go back for sure

The lamb curry is always so delicious and the customer service is amazing!!

Excellent butter chicken

Great food. Fast friendly service

Best Indian food in St Thomas. Delicious food and friendly service. So happy theyre here! Best butter chicken Ive ever had.

We love Shebez Shawarma! First tried it in Port Stanley, followed to their old St Thomas location and now frequenting on Ross Street. Always tasty, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the food quality is great.

Nice food

Shebaz Shawarma is my lifeline when I have to skip my dishes. Doris and Team s magic and care are a blessing for even a vegetarian such as myself. Their non-veg options are absolute hits favoured by my friends. Definitely try their selection of platters, and please wash off your sins by meditating on every bite of Gabriel s hand-baked Mediterranean sweets! I must mention that these kind hearts and good samaritans care about the environment, should you bring your own clean glass food containers and wholeheartedly opt to skip plastic bags and cutlery. I am beyond excited to see them open their restaurant serving the community throughout the day. They certainly have come a long way as a business and businesspeople, hoping across from Port Stanley with the town s very first Shawarma 101 to a takeout place operating inside a convenience store complex in St. Thomas to a full-fledged restaurant, serving #StThomasProud.

It was okay. Not the biggest fan, shelbys is better in my opinion.

Swarma fries are delicious, friendly staff.

Friendly service. Reasonable pricing

Excellent place for Butter chicken on rice bowl. The shwarma wrap is mouth watering. Hungry for one right now. Its 647am. Wow!

Delicious food! Was VERY pleasantly surprised. What puts your location over the top, is the super friendly and down to earth employees :)

I had the butter chicken, it was really good and Id recommend to anyone thinking of getting it. No comment on the shawarma, looks fresh though

A wonderful fusion of Mediterranean food with Indian elements. Gives Shelbys a serious run for their money

Ordered from here for the first time on a whim and was happy I did. Food was delicious, Ingredients were all fresh, staff was extremely pleasant. I will definitely be ordering again.

Fantastic fresh food and great customer service!

Delicious food! Friendly people. Would definitely come again.

We were originally introduced to this restaurant in Port Stanley. We love the care put into the food and service, top notch. Great value and variety. Would highly recommend

Good food, good portions. My go to for my lunch break

The best shawarmas

I arrived for the Onion Rings and departed with Shawarma. The rings were crispy, lightly battered and not greasy. Light spices in the batter added a unique and delicious flavour. Beef Shawarma wrap was well seasoned, freshly garnished and satisfying. One of my top food picks in St. Thomas.

Glad to see an actual Lebanese shawarma place so far from Toronto....garlic nearly killed me....will have to try again when in st Thomas again ...

This place is great. New food to me but was extremely good. The people are very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place.

Best east Indian food in town

The owners are very friendly, the food very good and most important the place is extremely clean. They can also help you out work out a good menu depending on your needs. Highly recommend place for a meal or quick snack- Rohit

Best shawarma around. Incredibly friendly staff. If you enjoy shawarma than this is the place for you. Bonus points for not being a chain.

The chicken shawarma and the fries are to die for!! Its also super clean inside.

I am from London, I got a chance to try their food and I had the tandoori shrimp plate and it was the best . They are so friendly, especially there is an Indian tall guy he is so nice ..

The crew at the Shebaz Shawarma were very nice and friendly. I tried the sheesh tawook plate, the dish was mouthwatering and full of flavors. I recommend you guys to try it out.

Great shawarma at good prices. Well seasoned and loaded with toppings. Not very spicy but good flavour. Ask for extra pickles!

Has a wonderful Indian flair. Love it. We are use to traditional Lebanese style shawarma but this was really a nice touch. Wed have this again. And the samosa are the best Ive ever had! Any where. Easy to order. Great pricing. Friendly staff. Support local.

Fantastic food and the service to match ! Soooooo good !

Delicious shawarmas

We love Shebazs! We usually get shawarma but have been trying new things as well. Delicious! Butter chicken is so good!

Doris makes the best and freshest shawarma.

This was my second time getting take out and I am giving a 5 star rating for flavour and quality of food as well as how quickly the food was prepared. We had the salads, fish, chicken as well as the curries - highly recommended.

We recommend their grape leaves, samosas and falafel fries. The owners are wonderful people, but the quality of food and service is not the same when the owners are not there.

I LOVE the food here. The service is very quick & friendly. Keep up the good work.

My husband and I were celebrating my birthday with a lovely road trip along Lake Erie and we were looking for a restaurant that would excite our taste buds. Shebazs in St.Thomas didnt disappoint. The staff are so helpful with the choices and accommodated my food allergies. My husband had the lamb shawarma bowl and I had the chicken shawarma bowl. The portions are huge! We made a bit of a dent in the meal and look forward to having the leftovers! We also split an order of beef samosas and potatoes with garlic sauce - yum! You just cant walk out of Shebazs hungry. Great food. Great service. Reasonable prices. We definitely will be back anytime were craving a shawarma meal. Thanks to Shebazs staff for a lovely experience - its worth the drive to St.Thomas!

Looved this restaurant for great Indian food. Great prices, big portions, and great customer service!

I love this place. Every time I come in the service is efficient and the staff are very friendly. Food is fresh and is delicious. Keep it up.

Owners are great, shawarma is even better. Try the shawarma fries! Prices more than reasonable.

Love the food and the people very nice

Wonderful people have this hidden gem in St.Thomas. Best samosa I have ever had. Try the butter chicken fries, outa this world!

The food was absolutely amazing we loved it! The service and helpfulness of the staff was exemplary. I will definitely be buying from here regularly. Highly recommend, thank you .

Really good food with good prices!

I can only comment on the falafel pita, and I think its great. Staff is always very friendly and welcoming.

Oh my goodness we LOVE Shebaz Shawarma! Always so delicious, GREAT value for the price, and the sweetest owners. Very pleased that theyve moved a short walk away from our office! They are definitely a go-to for lunch for us!

We visited for lunch. Not only was the food amazingly delicious but the service was also wonderful. And portions were very generous. My son forgot his brand new winter coat at the restaurant and because we live nearly 2 hrs away, they offered to mail it to me! I am so thankful for such honest people in this world. Will definitely be back to this restaurant when we are back in the area!!

Love the food

Covid protocols in place. Eat in, take out. Generous serving of chicken shawarma in pita. Large menu with lots of options made in front of you. Not sure, ask for a recommendation. Friendly service.

Years they have kept me well fed on rice and various spice

Was only able to get really good Indian food when visiting Toronto until I stumbled across this amazing place! The butter chicken rice bowl is amazing and an extremely good deal for how much you get. I ll be a lifetime customer of this place. Thanks for the fantastic food and deals!
