A great place to stop by, I love their food
First time here. The food was really amazing. Taste and quality were top notch. Special shout out to Lina. She helped me to get familiar with the cuisine since it was my first time here and as I don’t eat meat. Definitely coming back. Very recommended.
What can I say? Fantastic & fresh! If I didn’t live 7 hours away, I’d eat here everyday! I’m not embarrassed to say that it dripped down my arm and I licked it off of my arm. It was THAT good!
I always have a positive experience here. Their shawarma plate and Iraqi kabobs are amazing. They make the kabobs fresh in front of you and have a wide selection of drinks in their coolers. The staff is always kind and greet us with smiles.
Good food and decent portions. We were lucky that we didn't have to wait for our food when we got there around 12:30pm. A lot of people came in to order takeout around 1pm. Very tasty and juicy wrap.
Wonderful location, lots of traffic usually on the street so might be difficult to take left turn. Lots of free parking spot. Taste is good. Quantity of food was good. Prices are ok just like any other. Combo option available so it's kind of good deal. Customer service was ok. The lady who served me had no smile nothing and was not wearing a hair net. Dine in option available. Good enough space for dine in. Public washroom available. Quick serving time. Overall was good experience
The grape leaves are the best I have ever tasted in Windsor. Hummus was really good and they have spicy 🌶 hummus and spicy garlic sauce. We didn’t try the spicy options, but I was impressed to know it was an option. 5 Stars for sure.
I must say their menu is big and confusing. Ordered Salad bowl and cost 21 buck. With 6 pieces of chicken not counting the burned tough pieces. Salad was ok, not so crunchy but bearable. May be shawarma Salad is not their thing. In the future if I'm back in Windsor I will try their kebab. As they look good on the picture.
Very friendly staff! The food is delicious and nice size portions. Best Shawarma place on this side of the city!!! Highly recommend!
Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entrance and washrooms Food
It was my first time visiting, and I liked it!
Good food. Friendly staff.
If you like good food. Don t go here Shawarma was dry and just not what I expected. Food : 1/5
Yummy advice
Not very happy. Shawarma lacked the flavor, sauces were very little, whole shawarma was dry, didnt taste anywhere near for a good shawarma.
Highly recommend the Iraqi bread shawarma. It s fire! And the falafel is beautifully made fresh and delicious. Shoutout to Reham for the great service!
Decent food, Ive only had the chicken shawarma, my only complaint is the garlic sauce is a lil tame, I wanna stink like garlic after a chicken shawarma
The food in this restaurant is colorless, tasteless and odorless, and the prices are very expensive
We had the best experience with our house party catered by East side shawarma. Our guests had fresh food all day long and loved it! So flavourful! Thank you so much for catering to us at all of our summer events! Looking forward to the next one
Tried this place for the first time and wasnt disappointed! Got a Shawarma sandwich, was very good and nice staff . I will definitely return to try more food there
Will not be returning. Got a sandwich and garlic was too sour. Only 3 tawoot in the sandwich. Not grilled well too. Meat has no flavour. Not how this place use to be
High prices for the food you get. Average combo plate is around $18-20 and they don t even come with a drink. Food taste good, but it s nothing unique. I would honestly just go across the plaza to the Greek place, they give larger portions and a drink for around the same price.
Enjoyed my meal very much and the lady that served me was amazing
The first time I came the service was friendly but a bit slow but wow the food was well worth the wait! I had the veggie plate the spicy potatoes which is plenty of food and delicious It was so good I went back the next day highly recommend!
I enjoy this place. Good-sized portions and good flavour. The only thing to improve would be to serve whole grain pitas, but I know almost no restaurant does.
Excellent well-priced food! This place is kept CLEAN. Vegetarian options: Youll have plenty of options to choose from! Dietary restrictions: The staff is very understanding, and accommodating. Parking: Its a strip mall, with no room to expand, parking is usually available. Kid-friendliness: Have not observed any creeps like the one who frequents Tim Hortons at the 1501 Lauzon Rd location. Wheelchair accessibility: Automated doors, accessible, and CLEAN washrooms!
Updated review: I have been a regular customer at East Side Shawarma for quite some time now, and have always enjoyed the food they serve. However, on my last visit, I was disappointed with the service provided by the new employees. I ordered the mixed grill plate, and was asked to wait for 10 minutes. When my order was finally ready, it was already packed and I was not given the opportunity to choose my vegetables or rice/potatoes. Additionally, I had specifically mentioned that I do not eat all the veggies especially no pickles/turnips, when I said this to the employee named Zee she put on a gloves and just removed the pickles from the top When I tried to ask about the other vegetables on my plate, Zee was rude and dismissive. It was a frustrating experience, and my partner and I ended up just grabbing what we got and leaving the restaurant. I hope that the management at East Side Shawarma addresses these issues with their new employees, as it has definitely affected my overall experience at the restaurant.
We ordered to give it a try since the previous owner sold the business. All I will say is the quality of the food has gone WAY down. The fries were soggy, the beef was not seasoned and the garlic sauce did not have the same garlic flavor, it was very bland. 1 star is being nice. If you like bland food with no flavor this is the place for you. Wont be ordering again
Great food & large portions. My favorite spot to eat in Cambridge. Vegetarian options: Salads Food : 5/5 |
Always quick and friendly service, and the shawarmas are delicious!
Excellent food, great service, everyone should try it
Food is always delicious!!! I love the variety and freshness!!
I always get the mixed plate, and the garlic sauce is sooooo good
The food was amazing it was so so good the service was great I m coming here again the shawarma was so good.
great food, super friendly service! veggie combo plate is amazing!
The spinach pies were absolutely delicious, as well as the toum and fattoush. Service was fast and friendly. I was sorely disappointed with the Shish kafta and the spicy potatoes unfortunately, both lacked seasoning immensely.
Great food, great service.
Getting expensive, but the food ok
We find that they have excellent service and very good and delicious meals at reasonable prices. Thank you to all the eastside shawarma team.
Tasty food Friendly customer service Very clean restaurant Food : 5/5
Found a small rock inside my falafel. Please talk to the person who makes your falafel.
Shawarma taste good. But its very small for the price. Barely any meat. Across them is house of donair and for a $ less you get a lot more .
Beef shawarma & spicy potatoes are my go to. Love their hummus & garlic sauce. Always clean inside. Always friendly staff!! Recommended dishes
The beef shawarma combo that I ordered was delicious and filling. It is slightly on the pricey side when compared to other shawarma options in town but all of the ingredients taste fresh & yum. They have spicy tahini and garlic sauce options. Their in-house seating is adequate to hold 20 - 30 customers but watch out for those peak hours. Their staff are very friendly and definitely looking forward to going back here to try something different.
Good food with nice experience
Most bland beef shawarma Ive ever had in Windsor. Staff was nice service was good but the food had almost no flavour and the garlic sauce was extremly bland as well, like it was watered down or something.
The shawarma wrap was falling all over, taste is horrible I don t recommend beef shawarma at all full or lettuce only. Chicken Shawarma the chicken is burned and I looks not from today. Do Better please
Food was very bland tasteless at best I had the chicken shawarma with everything on it when I say tasteless at best I mean it the pickles an even the onions could not even taste them themselves
One of the top 3 shawarma places in Windsor. Shawarma was juicy and garlic sauce was great!! Staff is friendly and smiling as well. Avg prices and portion size. Liked their spiced potatoes but it was a little more on the oily side. However, the flavours were good. Dont miss to try their pomegranate sauce. Vegetarian options: Falafel wraps, sandwiches, salads, potato dishes etc. Parking: Parking lot
Tried I once was good, tried a 2nd time was iffy , wasnt sure I would return , 3rd time definitely never going back . The wrap hardly had any meat at all, with horrible lettuce that should have been put in the garbage. The potatoes, I dont even know what to say about these things. They are never freshly cooked but they always say they just came out. They were drowning in oil and garlic sauce couldnt even taste the potatoes. Lost my business for good. Parking: Close parking to door.
My go to
Always excellent
Quick and easy
Shawarma is great here , get the spicy garlic sauce. Has some zing to it . For salads felt the pricing was too much but still great food..!! Food
First time there, I went knowing what I wanted just not the name. I called it a Mala Salad but its called a fattoush salad. Maybe just made a little different for me?? Anyways I cannot say enough how delicious it was, the service was great with a beautiful smile to go along with the fantastic food. Thank you.... I will be back!!!!
I have never been more appalled at the service I received today I purchased a chicken Shawarma and a spinach pie a pound coming home I noticed my spinach pie was burn so bad that it was rock hard when I called to complain about the situation they were very rude unprofessional they asked me why I was upset they accuse me of making a complaint before which I have never done !!!!! Then when I bring my food back they tell me it s just a little crispy and try to give me two other ones and when I say no thank you I just like a refund they then tell me that I ve ordered food from them before and have not came back and purchased it which is a complete fabrication so not only are they unprofessional there also storytellers and they just can t take accountability for having messed up my order I wouldn t waste my time on this establishment the overpriced food does not match the quality
Went from best to worst in Windsor. Zero taste, all salad and no chicken in the shawarma dry and zero sauce....ZERO EFFORT
Good service but the food just is not good. The beef is super blubbery and both chicken and beef were under seasoned. Even the pickles were not good, soggy.
I used to love their food. But honestly lately it has been terrible. Tonight was my last order from them its throwing money away at this point. Threw 80% of it away. No taste, salad tastes rotten, chicken was in tiny pieces like i was given the ones dropped on the bottom from previous orders or from yesterday, the garlic sauce had zero taste. I ate the pita bread and hummus dip only. I think ive seen enough.
Havent been there for a while. The Sharma is still good and Biryani was awesome. My friend had the same thing except that his Sharma was made with Iraqi bread. Food : 4/5
Great food and service.
I was greeted right when I walked in. Was next in line. Super friendly staff. Food was delicious made how I liked and price was very reasonable for the amount of food I received.
Great wrap
We have good food and drinks and we have a great service ° Food
Very delicious food, with perfect taste, and excellent service
The service of this place is very good and there is no addition to great food.
Actually it s gorgeous
Literally the best shawarma shop in East Windsor, Ive tried several of their dishes and their catering meals during Ramadan and I think its safe to say that they do an amazing job with everything, though it does get busy around 12-3pm.
I love this place. Great food, amazing customer service and they sell their fattoush dressing by the bottle!
Bought 6 shawarma, it tasted nothing but a pickled wrap with some chicken meat chopped in cube, by mistake I told them to put spicy garlic and they paste they put was neither spicy or garlicky. I will never go back there to have a shawarma again Food
Absolutely delicious food! I always get the shish tawook skewers with fatoush salad and biryani rice! With EXTRA garlic sauce (the best to dip fries in) and Baklava for dessert! Amazing service 10/10. Always the most kind and friendly people serving us, keep up the great work! One of my fave spots in Windsor to eat! Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves the food here and always orders the Baklava for desert! Soooo yummy!
Food was really good
My favorite Shawarma place in town! Food is always fresh, delicious and Riham and the team are always nice and friendly. 5 hands down.
Great people, awesome food, cant ask for more.
Used to be great. Not sure what happened. Fries were not cooked all the way and service was very unfriendly.
Food always fresh and on point, staff are very friendly and welcoming.
good
My imagination
Morning staff is slow
Food was hot, the beef was good but was not seasoned enough for flavour. The hummus was bland but creamy, the portions could be more generous for the price you are paying. Each time I go in there is 1 poor girl working by her self, even we she is busy the man in the back does not help her. If you are in a hurry and there is a line, go some where else or you will be waiting a long time.
Your place is always a favourite, however the potatoes were fire burning , mouth on fire hot spicy. Why are you changing things? The garlic sauce had no garlic flavour.
Excellent food service .
Shawarma was soggy, no flavour, the garlic wasn t even garlicky. was craving a late night shawarma and it didn t satisfy what so ever. Great staff however!
Keep up the great taste of you food.
Mohamad was amazing, he provides great service and the food never misses!
Good shawarma! Spicy garlic is the way to go!
Food was great and staff was very friendly
My wife & l have been going to Eastside Shawarma since 2017, & never had a bad experience, I recommend them. Food
Everything looks fresh but fries fries are not recommended at all (old fries fries in old oil). The rest is normal, nothing tasty.
I am speechless. Their food and catering services are great and tasty.
Fresh healthy ingredients.
Good shwarma
Amazing service from baneen she makes sure to provide the best service and best sandwiches!! Good vibes!! Good food !! I will be back again thanks
Great food. Great service! Thank you :)
Its my favourite shawarma place around. Everything is delicious. Staff is great and so fast. I can barely go a week without stopping in.
Good food always fresh
Good food and great people behind the counter, you have stop bye and try there food you wont be sorry my first time there and it wont be my last
Delicious!! Service was pretty quick, especially since it was a busy lunch rush. Very friendly too.
Clean environment. Friendly staff. Great food.
Not bad
The best food ever! So fresh and great prices! The staff are so friendly!
Good food always
Nice and polite staff thanks for the service
Great vegetarian options!
This is favorite shawarma place. Always fresh and great. Try their Iraqi bread with falafel or shawarma or kabob. Absolutely yummy!!! Customer service is amazing and quality is consistently excellent!
Found stone inside falafel in my sandwich. Never going back.
Amazing food, amazing service. Must try!
Got Falafel sandwiches ... Service is good .. Food too is good... The Falafel Balls were prepared fresh after we ordered (which was gr8) but could taste better... Not sure if its the parsley that was missing or any other ingredient... Id rate them closer to the 5... But Google doesnt allow half star or 2 third ratings... And also... Im a repeat customer and will go in the near future for sure...
Taste is amazing! Really like this place. The gentleman work was hit with a wave of people but he kept his head and made everyone their food just fine! Even apologized for the wait which obviously people understood lol give this place a go
Had chicken swarms excellent
Very good one of the best shawarma places in the city
I love this place,,, super tasty food and healthy.
today i was there i get a Family platter for 4 the food was amazing grate service and friendly guys everything was fresh I will definitely come again thank you guys
When I arrived to the restaurant I was welcomed with a smile by the employee and smell of kabobs! I ordered the shawarma poutine with nix of beef and chicken with everything on it, the order has a great portion of everything( could feed 2 people ) and the chicken and beef were marinated to perfection.definitely recommend this spot for anyone whose looking to dine in or a quick bite. Couldnt take photo of food was too hungry! Lol
Always fresh, well prepared food by very friendly staff and owner!
Best shawarma in Windsor.
My wife saw the sign and decided to pick up a Shawarma as she doesn t care for the ones out our way in Tecumseh. She had a good feeling as they were using freshly prepared ingredients. Took it home and said it was delicious! Now she has a new Shawarma place.
One of the best in Windsor. They gave me chicken shawarma on saj bread. I request them to add that to the menu. Tha saj bread shawarma is the best.
Good service. I had the chicken chawrma, was ok , their salad was pretty good for a fast food restaurant!
Delicious, good quantity and reasonably priced. Pictured: Shawarma plate with a side of rice.
Excellent service, and great portions no matter what you order.
Best Shawarma place Ive found in Windsor! The Plates and Shawarma Sandwich/Wraps are amazing, and the best deal - I recommend these over ordering anything separately as the individual items are more expensive. The meat is very good quality. Tried the lentil soup which was just okay, a bit too thick more like stew than I prefer, but still tasted alright. Great food overall!
10/10 subs and gyros
Always fresh always amazing every time! Never been dissatisfied ever. So good
A unique taste. East Side Shawarma has some of the best biryani rice, and with their chicken cream chops (deep-fried chicken breast) it becomes a winning combination. Their family platter is our go-to for special events and family dinners. My preferred choice of places to go in Windsor-Essex.
Must recommend to visit this place Staff is very friendly and polite
Wonderful, clean and delicious Shawarma wraps
Really good food and good customer service.
The shish tawook is amazing and the falafel is very delicious
Food is delicious and on point! It s freshly made and served quick. I tried the mixed grill platter. You guys are amazing. Going to come back soon.
it was my best restaurant, but after it was sold to different owner now Shawarma is bad quality of meat and less quantity inside Sandwich, you have to order Extra & Extra & Extra Shawarma to meet the traditional size. I told them 4 times. they want to make money by offering smaller sandwich with bad quality,
Nothing special mediocre
Really tasty and full of flavour. Not your average shawarma plate - its got that extra special touch you always want.
Quick bite, chicken shawarma, super tasty!! Always delicious!
Very good customer service, delicious food.. Grape leaves were in a reddish sauce, first time Ive had them from here, they Werth good!
First time trying this place wow just wow.yummy
EAST SIDE
Me and my friends went to try a new shawarma experience, and as soon as I took the first bite, I knew it was worthy of a five star rating. Not only was the food great, the waiters and chefs were very nice and the service was amazing. I really recommend you try it. Its definitely the best in the city.
Why there is no garlic (toom) enough in the chicken shawarma sandwiches!!!! You need to improve this point, and you need to stop putting vegetables in the sandwich unless it is not shawarma. The falafel was good
I consider myself a regular patron of this establishment. I must say, my chicken shawarma sandwich today was a true work of art. The chicken was juicy, seasoned and grilled to perfection. Next level stuff. Thank you and Im looking forward to more East Side Shawarma goodness.
Second time I found a metal piece in my fattoush. My 3 ur old nearly choked on the piece. Disgusting and unacceptable
Ordered take out for delivery .. chicken shawarma ×2 and both of them had the chicken super burnt and the shawarmas were ice cold... super disappointing
Nice food etc
I only go there for a poutine but hey, the poutines are delicious
Decent rice horible service barely got any food and i payed 15$ for it total scam
This has to the worst shawarma Ive ever tried. The chicken and beef were both dry with no taste.
Always a good meal!
Best Shawarma place in Windsor.
Real good shawarmas for the cheap. The falafels are great and freshly fried everytime.
The go to
Amazing food and professional teem service Thanks guys
I love their chicken shawrma and the shawrma plate. My favorite spot by far! Ive notice that the portions are getting smaller though....
Had a fantastic meal here on Friday the shawarma was fresh & tasty & the hummus was like silk. Cannot wait to go back to Windsor & visit again. So jealous that my friends in town can just drop in anytime. Highly recommend this restaurant
Good shawarma but since last year they are putting less meat compare to before... every time I have to tell them to put extra meat which mean extra money.
Great service and delicious food, definitely worth visiting!!
Wow. Best shawarma in wWindsor! I ve been loyal to another spot for three years but when I was dragged here last week, I was blown away. Such nice flavor on the meat and AMAZING green hot sauce. The lady was singing all these classic vocal jazz tunes while she wrapped up our sandwiches. Haha. Was so great! Please give it a try.
Really good food, go here atleast once a week.
This place is amazing. Food is delicious! Staff are super friendly.
Very good food you must try the shawarma and kabab if you visit Windsor
Excellent service, great food.I recommended ordering food for your up coming holidays
Delicious, juicy, quality, taste, smell, all the best. Anyone who hasnt tried wont regret it
Great food and service,eat here all the time!!
Not bad probably go back again ...not bad
I was pretty blown away by their fries & tabouleh! I have yet to try an actual meal here, but I feel like it will be tasty. I was watching how they put together food too it seems like an art to them. It was quite entertaining! Way to go for bomb east end food! You gotta try it here
Great food. Love the local and fresh beef shawarma. Great staff.
Great food and great service
