I’ve been to this place many times pre-Covid and always had a average experience. Wanted to try it again, so I ordered on Skip but there were no drivers. I decided to pick up the order myself and the lady at the counter seemed nice, but I wish she didn’t microwave my food. I initially thought they just heat the rice and the chicken is prepared fresh/precooked. I was wrong, and how. . After coming home I realize they had heated cooked chicken in a microwave, which any amateur can tell you would ruin the chicken and make it dry n hard. Long story short, I had to throw away the food. Waste of effort and $15. From the other reviews I can see they make decent wraps, but I would not recommend the rice plates. Highly disappointed.
Not bad. Very authentic taste. One of the tastiest shawarmas in town. $11.30 for the chicken shawarma.
Had a great experience at Best Bite Restaurants! The service was top-notch, and the hospitality made the meal even better. The food was delicious, especially the shawarma, which was perfectly seasoned. And the baklava? Absolutely amazing—crispy, sweet, and a perfect ending to the meal. Definitely recommend!
Kudos to the guy who served me. He was so kind and friendly. I ordered my food ( which tasted great 💯), and the whole entire time, he was checking if everything was okay or if I needed anything. If you are looking into trying some new flavors, something different but delectable, and with great customer service, try them for sure! I'm definitely coming back.
Top quality shawarma! Great spot in town for Middle Eastern food!
I had an absolutely fantastic experience trying out this family restaurant in Thunder Bay. I had never experienced Lebanese food before, but I will definitely be back to continue exploring the menu at Best Bite Shawarma. The lady behind the counter greeted us with a wonderful smile and the man taking our order was friendly and helpful. My son and I decided to eat in rather than take out. The owner’s son (very young little guy) decided to keep us entertained during our meal. On top of a unique dining experience, this restaurant has an interesting variety of exotic groceries. (See pictures) Literally everything on the menu that we tried was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. I look forward to our next visit. Edit; our second visit, we did takeout. Every bit as friendly service. Another fantastic meal!
Best Bite Shawarma offers a delightful culinary experience with their vegetarian falafel wrap. The flavors are impeccable, with each bite bursting with freshness and savory goodness. The falafel itself is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, creating a satisfying crunch with every mouthful. The wrap is generously filled with vibrant veggies and topped with creamy tahini sauce, adding layers of texture and taste. Whether you're a vegetarian or a meat lover, this falafel wrap is a must-try. The ambiance of the place enhances the dining experience, making it a delightful spot for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. Overall, Best Bite Shawarma earns top marks for their delicious offering, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere.
Great little spot lots of random things like hookah, spices etc, small convenient store, great atmosphere and friendly worker, the food was not bad but the rice has no zafron in it, and kinda mushy, improve on your rice and add a spicy sauce option as there’s no heat at all. But great starts to making something great. Keep at it. Great attitude room to improve. I’d like to come back in a few weeks see if the improvements have been made. Thank you keep up the good work.

Visited Best Bite Shawarma for the first time, and it was fantastic! The meat shawarma was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming and to top it off, he even gave me a free drink! Highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service. I will be back again for the best shawarma in town.
WHAT A RIPOFF ! Ridiculously small portions, dry meat, and stale tabouli. Will never order here again.
Really good service which makes the experience of food even more better..loved it..
I love the food is so good the prices of the food is good
I ve lived in UAE and to be honest this place has the most authentic flavour of shawarma, best place in town for authentic shawarma
Really good shawarmas, the veggies are always fresh. My go to shawarma spot in town
I was beyond pleased with my takeout order tonight! I ordered from Best Bite Shawarma for the first time and got 3 chicken shawarma wraps and a large fattoush salad for my family. I have been on the hunt for Lebanese food that meets my expectations (locally and when in the GTA) and honestly this was the best by far! I love a good fattoush salad with a flavourful dressing and this one was exactly what I had been hoping for! The salad was tossed in the dressing which is my favourite way to get it and every bite was flavourful! The shawarma wraps are great too! I got extra garlic sauce and it was delicious! The owner is super nice and made my first experience a great one! Great value as well in my opinion. I ll surely be back often!
Yummy food, fast service, excellent customer care . Thank you.
The best Lebanese shawarma in the town,amazing service
Great taste and the welcoming was amazing must recommended
Best taste of chicken shawarma recommend
I love it top
Great was very good
Very unhygienic
Best Bite Shawarma stands out for its delicious, well-seasoned shawarma wraps and fresh ingredients. The generous portions and rich flavors make each bite satisfying. Adding to the experience, the owner is exceptionally friendly and welcoming, enhancing the overall atmosphere. Highly recommended for a great shawarma experience.
This is a very awesome Shawarma restaurant in Town, the owner is very nice and respectful, he offerd me a peace of baklava and it was very delicious, it was very pleasing to discover this restaurant, the owner is very polite and funny, the whole place in general is amazing, and it even has a little place where you could get sweets and some Arabic groceries, the food aswell is perfect, although it was 10/10!!
I passed by the restaurant today and it was one of the best experiences of the day! The atmosphere of the restaurant was totally authentic, I ordered fattoush plate and the vegetables were fresh, with a beef shawarma wrap, the meat was freshly cooked and it tasted amazing and the taste was savory delectable.
Best shawarmas, Service has been really good, Chef is a friendly guy.
Food and service is amazing. Recommendable place in town.
I went there to grab one cheeseburger around 4 pm. There was a young lady and if I had to guess, her 6 year old daughter. It took 25 minutes to warm up 1 burger. The lady told her daughter to get off her tablet and help warm up my burger. So, the little girl went to the stove to warm up the patty and the bun with her bare hands. My burger was not very good, because the bun was ice cold, and I m guessing it s because the little girl didn t know how to properly warm it up. The meat patty was warmed up, which I guess she did a good job at. I hate to leave a bad review, because usually the guy who works there is very nice and will give everyone a free baklava. I had to say though, this was not a good experience. I hope they will improve next time.
Great food.,the shawarma was so good. Best shawarma in town. The owner was super friendly and nice too
Best shawarma in thunder bay
Fantastic food, friendly staff. Ordered a beef shawarma and got a piece of baklava. They left me satiated with a smile on my face. I will be back and with friends. Would recommend.
By far the best shawarma weve ever had! We had the chicken shawarma pita and it was amazing! It is definitely one of the best restaurants in Thunder Bay!
Just stopping in town to get some food, decided on stopping at this place. I m glad I did! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was just as good. Highly recommend this shawarma spot. As good as it gets!
Delicious food as always. I am never disappointed by Best Bite! We always go to this restaurant when we are craving a Middle Eastern dish. Lovely people as well making and serving your food
Really good good, and customer service :)
Best shawarma in the area.The man was very kind and friendly. I highly recommend this place try it and you will love it.
The best Middle East shawarma one can have
the food is really delicious hygienic and multiple choices to choose from Vegetarian options: Flafel sandwich is really delicious it counts as a very good choice for vegan customers Food : 5/5 |
The best shwarama in town. Authentic Labenese style!
Abdul makes some fantastic shawarma and super friendly. I will definitely be returning!
Best food ever definitely recommend.
It is perfect place and very delicious foods
Great food, great servies, the best. Ive enjoy my time with their foods, 100 percent recommend to everyone
It has nearly everything! Everyone is nice and definitely understanding, they will help you about the ingredients and tell you more about it if you don t know what to eat or what to choose, the food comes very fast and fresh, everything on the menu is delicious and high quality, besides the food it has a little market where you can get every ingredient you might need or spices or even sweets, will go there often!!
Service was excellent. Food was not bad. Prices were great. I was really happy with how well we were treated by the staff. I would definitely go back.
Great customer service and delicious shawarma. Came in just at the time they were closing, yet the manager stayed back to take our orders.
Amazing authentic food, well priced, very friendly service and a relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend
This place sells drinks and food? absolute win! minus one star for being right beside my (superior CVI, which is a high school.) and dont visit during 12:10 - 1 PM.
Tasted better than Osmows
Absolutely lovely experience and the lebanese owner is super kind and excellent chef. Authentic shawarma taste
Best
Food was saw good and tasty
I had a plate of falafel and loved it. The service was great. I recommend this place.
The food was excellent and the host very friendly. Best halal place in Thunder bay. Had been there this afternoon with family, enjoyed the food Food
Good food
Food tasted excellent! I would come back. There werent huge portions but the quality was worth it.
Best poutine in town
We ordered chicken wings, mozzarella sticks, fries and fried cauliflower. The wings taste really bad, the mozzarella sticks and cauliflower taste like they are from the frozen aisle.
Brother in the best bite is such a wonderful person, very welcoming and always offers generous discounts.
Best and authentic shawarma!
Stopped at best bite with my baby on our walk around the neighbourhood and I am so glad I decided to stop in. I got the chicken shawarma for my husband and myself. The owner was friendly and offered me some pastry to try. (It was sooo tasty) My husband and I enjoyed every bite, glad I m a neighbour to this establishment.
Delicious. Im used to Jerusalem Shawarma in Calgary. This is a little smaller, but half the price. Quality excellent. Friendly service. Ill be back.
They never have their delivery orders ready. Zero hygiene.poor packaging. Tell drivers to wait for one second and make drivers wait for more than 15 minutes. They can improve customer service.
Amazing local authentic shawarmas in tbay. Better than all those franchises.
The best Shawrma in Thunder Bay. We had there Shawrma roll and decided to take away our dinner from the place. Abdul is very friendly welcoming guy. We also tasted the best baklava at this place and positive vibes
Great atmosphere and great food. The owner is very friendly. Best shawarma in Thunder Bay
Just got food from here and it was amazing! I got a shwarma wrap and it was stuffed full and delicious. The owners were very nice as well! Food : 5/5
Very small portion for the price. Chicken is old and chewy. Hummus has barely any Tahini. The pita is cold. Do not recommend.
Great food, grocery and service
Most authentic shawarma in Thunder Bay, osmows does not compare
Great service, prices, and the best shawarma in town!!
Really nice authentic syrian shawarma, lovely owners as well, worth checking it out
Delicious food! Would come again.
Stopped in on our way though and very friendly owners and great food!
I heard they sell some pantry items from middle-east. Do they perhaps have black lemons for sale?
The hummus is top notch and the Tabouleh & Fattoush are better than most.
Pretty much the best shawarma TB has to offer!
Everyone should try out the chicken shawarma..its good
Super great service and amazing food. Definitely worth the visit!!
Ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and it was good
Good food, so much variety, quite affordable but well made, wide range of middle eastern grocery items available as well. Ill definitely be coming here more often
Very good food
The best middle eastern food in Thunder Bay - maybe even in Canada!!
Chicken pita wrap was gross, the chicken is atleast couple days old to the point it hurt my teeth chewing on it from being so hard. Also added a few things to the wrap that was not supposed to be in it, dont trust the meat. Poutine 7/10. No idea what I found in the wrap in second picture
Delivered us old, gross food. Sfiha was so stale the pastry was rock hard. Ordered 2 types of Baklawa, which appeared to be 2 completely different desserts, and the portion size was minuscule. barely 2 inches they charged $3 for. PLUS came with a sticky gray hair in the package. I m disgusted.
Lovely spot and amazing food. Perfect place for a road trip stop.
Tasty, clean and friendly. Great little take out spot
Tasted nice the Lebanese style shawarma
Went in for take out. Generous portion sizes and tasty food.
Best bite Shawarma is the best of all the Shawarmas in tbay.!
Very nice owner and best food
Very nice owner !
One of the best shawramas I have ever had.
My tabbouleh had lots of sand in it. Gross. Will never order from here again.
food is disgusting, got an undercooked poutine. while waiting the owner/ worker was being a little too friendly with students
Great selection of food. Delicious
Best shwarma Ive found in town
I love everything about this place. Friendly service, amazing food, great people.
Great service, delicious authentic Lebanese food
Very rude behavior on the phone.
A nice change
Decent food but won t be returning as the owner has been rude to me each time I ve come and I even tip regardless of rude he is to me so he just won t receiving my business anymore
It gets 2 stars because they had rasberry barbican cold and by the case. If you have ever eaten shawarma this isnt it. Trying to add extra garlic and your spin on hummus was dissapointing to say the least. The pita wasnt fresh and the rice was barely there. Overall my first experience will make sure its my last.
Excellent authentic middle Eastern cuisine. The chicken shawarma was excellent. All the sides were perfect and the garlic sauce was delicious! Will definitely be going again!
I love everything i order... falafel wrap, kafta wrap.. all the salads are to die for...give the grape leaves a try...
Best shawarma in town by far!
Me and my wife are craving for shawarma and this place is the worst shawarma we ve ever had. It s tasteless and the meat that they used was old. Super small portion for the price. The good reviews for this place have to be fake.
Go to place for good shawarma in town. The proprietor, Tony, is always warm and welcoming. They have an assortment of packaged sweets and snacks too. I always browse around and get some sweets to try out while my order is getting ready.
Great food! Friendly service.
Appropriately named! Best Bite Shawarma is the spot you are looking for if you want authentic Lebanese cuisine, using all in-house fresh ingredients and spices. I had the beef shawarma with a side of fattoush salad. I think I found new taste buds that I never knew I had. The flavors are outstanding, the portions will fill you up to complete satisfaction. The flatbread and hummus was also delicious. Best Bite is not a sit down restaurant. They do offer take out or delivery through apps like Skip. Tony and his daughter are masters of their craft. They also sells imported goods from Lebanon if you want to take some of the flavors home with you for your own creations in the kitchen. The only thing that would improve Best Bite Shawarma is a better parking situation.
Friendly owner, fresh food, although the beef was quite dry. Otherwise the grocery store has all the halal products you need. Alhamdulila
Worst experience, dont like it at all.
Amazing food. Im an extremely picky eater and this knocked me off my feet. Great. Amazing. Fresh and oh so good.
Amazing staff, but the shawarma was not tasty. Hope they make it better in the future. It is also expensive for the small portion of meat.
Tony the owner is a real character. He makes a delicious chicken shawarma. We replaced any starches with his deep fried cauliflower. When in Thunder Bay, check him out. His shop is also a convenience store full of all sorts of Canadian and Lebanese food items.
Great food! A little pricey but still worth it :)
Good place to find best Shawarma. Had a chicken Shawarma and Onion rings from Best Bite Shawarma. It was tasty and was of good quantity with respect to the money. The environment was quite peaceful with some good Arabic music. The staffs whom I think the owners are very friendly and treated us with good service.
Although staff was great Very expensive
Really good food
Disappointed!
Really good falafel. Totally worth the visit.
Good fresh food
I do skip the dishes for this restaurant some times and its flavour all beat out my nose. The food smell remind me about my wife s cooking. So good. Tony is an old man and he s the only one run this restaurant. Actually, this is not a dine-in one and it s much more a grocery shop. I must tell this because many people complained about Tony and his restaurant. Tony is from Lebanon and he is old. I repeat this to let people know that if you want to enjoy Best bite shawarma, accept the culture. Of course this culture could annoy you. LoL. You should NOT require a western service from an Asian restaurant run by only one elderly. Enjoy its culture. Most people coming here behaved like neighbours. Food is good but the price is rather high for me. LoL. Everything has it price. LoL. Shawarma also has a lot of foods, spices ... from Lebanon or western asia. Come to talk and enjoy Tony s food and his culture. You may not like, just leave. :)
Nice owner and I enjoyed the Shawarma, and if I go to Thunder bay again will go back to test the food again.
Not fresh and over priced
Sweets are great. Rest total flop. Asked for something got something else. Pricey too
Definitely not the best shawarma restaurant in town. I have tried Arabian/Lebanese food but this was nothing close to it. Actually towards the worst. I ordered 2x chicken shawarma and ended up getting 2x chicken shawarma plate. Which i had to pay the money for later. Also tried kibbeh which he grabbed from the freezer with his cash held hands right in front of me and was poor taste as well. Very un-fresh and frozen. Tried the falafel with hummus and it tasted like paper dipped in oil. Overall was very bland. The only great thing i liked was their desserts. Worth the money. Customer service was not that great either. Which is why they get a 2 star.
Ok place to try the middle Eastern foods
flop
Such delicious food and the owner really knows how to make his customers feel welcome.
Nice service
Not halal
Restaurant which serves authentic middle eastern dishes and also teenager food to the students from the high school across the street. The shawarma, tabbouleh, baklava felafel all delicious. Teenager food is also yummy. Friendly service, mainly take out place.
When I first bit into my chicken schwarma wrap I came instantly. Thanks Tony Boneroni!
only place serving up a proper shawarma in thunder bay
I miss kaibab village......
10/10 would smash again
Ive been back a few times and have consistent good experiences. Good service. Good food. The guy who left a bad review was probably just grumpy that day from having a cold (which would explain why he couldnt taste anything too).
The quality is great! Wishing the rice and garlic potatos came standard with the shawarma plates. Also, I noticed the prices for the shawarma plates are outrageously more expensive than the equivalent youd fine in Ottawa or Toronto, yet you dont get the aforementioned items. So I hope they start including the garlic potatos, rice, pickled turnips, and more garlic sauce with their plates, especially given the price theyre charging. Also, way too much hummus for the pita bread provided. That being said, what you do get tastes great; these guys know how to cook awesome food. I will absolutely be coming back.
I mean really-- FRESH food - HEALTHY food - amazing Lebanese Culinary options - from Tabouleh, Falafel, Kibbeh, Shawarma (fresh from the pit spinner!) And more! Plus the seasoning! Extremely authentic seasoning and cooked to consistent perfection! Not willing to try something new? Fried Chicken and Wedges are alsoalso best in town! Nothing beats the amazing culinary experience this food offers as well as the exceptional, take out, customer service A true gem for our city!!!
I had a bad experience. Fist of all, the food was tasteless and pricy. Secondly, customer service was disgusting, there was a line and the old man (owner) was flirting wasting time with girls of almost his grand daughters age, while his own daughter was standing right behind him. They have a dine-in but no washrooms for customers, thats disgusting. All dine-in restaurants must have a washroom or two for customers. Will never go to this place again. Thats not true Mr. There were at least 10 people eating on two different tables. You dont keep tables with chairs for customers waiting for their take out order. I have pics to prove that. Most of my friends had similar experience here and they will never go back again. Pita Pit is much better than this place. The comment below is from one of his family member who probably got a free meal in exchange of his review.
Amazing food and friendly service
For Thunder Bay, this is pretty good authentic shawarma, would recommend to people who are used to Lebanese food from southern Ontario big cities. The Good: Juicy chicken, creamy garlic sauce. Very polite staff, great customer service. They also sell Lebanese pickles which are a must try. The Bad: Pita was a little dry and brittle, maybe it was in the panini press too long. No big deal but personally I like my pita a little chewier.
Family run, fast service and excellent food. Very unique dessert selection.
Tony is the best and so is the Mediterranean menu
Very nice food
If youre looking for authentic Lebanese food, give this recently upgraded place a try. They recently installed a new serving counter and there is a nice comfy couch and a couple of classic tables and chairs. They also have Corner Store products like chips and candy bars amongst other things. If youre looking for a homie environment and good food, no need to look further. The smell of shawarma cooking will make you salivate in anticipation.
Great service, amazing food
So good
I would highly recommend chicken shawarma. Really tasty. Owner is also a nice guy and recommended us a lot of products. Loved it and will go again.
Delicious food
Lethargic people . You order one , get a different one. I ordered a Chicken shawarma large (5) then a Kafta plate (18) and baklava (2) and i paid 38$. Hard to communicate, not easily approachable for sure. BAD EXPERIENCE.
Best shawarma.
Awesome food. True arabic taste. Loved it. Will definitely recommend.
Very tasty, but the wraps are a bit overpriced for the small portions, I expected something twice as big.
The owner is really polite. Food is amazing. I keep coming here for more.
Came in with a group an hour and a half before closing. Manager gave one person out of the four the actual shawarma meat, the rest recieved chicken skewers when paying for the full shawarma meal. The manager claimed this was due to them closing soon when the listed time for closing that day was still an hour from when we received our food. The quality of the chicken platter for the price was not ideal compared to established places like Osmows and Lazeez. Was not expecting much going in given the location in Thunder Bay but was at least expecting a decent meal and not a plate with 60% hummus. Probably not coming back.
Delicious food. And lovely owners!
New Lebanese restaurant. Simple, Inexpensive and DELICIOUS!!! Best Shawarmas I have tasted since we have moved to TBay from Montreal 15y ago. This is including our extensive traveling. I have a feeling this will become my favourite TBay restaurant.... Go try it. They have to stay open!
Portion size and flavours are good. Not spicy, has canadian food options. Cooks were friendly and fast. Avoid going at 12:10pm during school hours, they tend to get a lot of young ones wanting fries.
It is really good
Really awesome. I had the chicken shawarma and the poutine. The mozza poutine is so delicious. It tastes so good.
They dont call it Best Bite for nothing!
So so so good and good costumer service. Tried it yesterday and went back today. :)
The best shawarma ever in Thunder Bay
Lebanese people are wonderful people and this restaurant epitomizes the rich taste in food. Please try their Sharwama, it s a huge hit in Nigeria and they ve mastered the art which I discovered from them originated from Turkey.
