Sham

Have been to Sh a few times and each time ,the food has been on point ! For a vegan restaurant it serves amazing meat alternatives. Another special is the mint lemonade,where fresh mint is added to the lemonade making it one of the best in the world ! I look forward to visiting Montreal and then Sham.

A nice, open vegetarian spot that was perfect for quick dinner while running around the city. The staff were very friendly and communicative. I enjoy finding small local restaurants for their hospitality and we found it here. My non-vegetarian friends were very happy with their meals as well ☺️ The shawarma was a treat as I haven't found a plant-based option elsewhere, I didn't know how much I missed it until I took my first bite. The small poutine was a perfect portion to share with our wraps. All around great for sitting in, and clearly convenient for on-the-go!

Came in for a quick bite on our first day visiting Montreal and the food was absolutely amazing as well as the service! Would highly recommend

Absolutely delicious food at the restaurant where the warmth of the staff will fill you with joy. I would recommend Sham to everyone who wishes to venture out to see what vegan food tastes like in a different (non) traditional cuisine. The spices are well balanced, the spreads are mouth-watering and the food fills the soul - highly recommended!

Food was great with appropriate portion sizes, samosas were amazing, lots of options for vegan food, even as a non-vegan. Atmosphere was quaint, and they have a little bodega on the size. I got the General Tso's, which was alright, but I didn't have expectations for it.

Hands down one of the tastiest and most delicious vegan food I’ve ever had here!! My go to is the half-half plate of the shawarma and the shish taouk along with their vegan poutine! Their gravy sauce and potato wedges are amazing!! I decided to try their falafel and they were pretty decent as well! Will definitely recommend to friends and family to come here!! Can’t wait to come here again!!

Cannot give this place a high enough rating. The food is lovingly made with so many awesome flavour options and the owner is so good at recommending what you're looking for. There's loads of dishes and we enjoyed it so much we went 2 days in a row. 2 very happy vegans!

We were in town due to a business meeting and since we had a vegan amongst us, we decided to come to Sham's. It's kind of a food store for vegans that serve lunch too. I'm not vegan but I like a lot of vegan dishes because they're very tasty and many times super healthy. We ordered pita wrapped falafel and shawarma sandwiches along with fries & poutine. We also got vegan baklava too. Wow what a lunch. Definitely enjoyed it and would certainly recommend this place especially if you're vegan. They have a lot of stuff and even if you're not vegan, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy the food. The flavors are probably amazing.

This was one of the best meals I had in Montreal. Casual, spacious and comfortable place -- you order at the counter. They offer plates, sandwiches, wraps, and other items, mostly Middle Eastern style but they push the boundaries. I ordered plate with vegan shawarma ("beef") and kebab ("chicken"), which came with salad and rice ($15.99 plus tax). I got a massive bowl. Very generous portion of both types of vegan meat, fresh salad leaves among other veggies, a big portion of yellow rice underneath, and a dollop of what seemed like vegan tzatziki or something. Everything was absolutely delicious. Super friendly service, reasonably priced, generous portions, delicious food -- what more can you ask for? Highly recommended.

A new Vegetarian/Vegan place I have to check it out, they sell Vegan Shawarma I must check it out, Syrian style- I am there !!!! They place has a very new-age/ hip vibe not what you expect from a falafel (unless you are the green panther), selling a lot of veggie side products (none are real Syrian stuff ... quiet disappointing). Price: 8$ for a wrap or 12$ for a plate, a little pricy but the quality is good Food: Very tasty, all the "'meat" is made from mushrooms real nice. Btw my son had the "chicken" nuggets made from tofu but they tasted like a frozen product that was cooked not made on the spot. Overall it was very tasty and very good and if I am in the area I will defiantly re-visit

Sham has an extensive menu comprising many Middle Eastern classics (like shawarma, shish taouk, falafel, tajine, hummus, kibbeh, etc.) - but veganized! I was delightfully surprised to find vegan baklava too. I ordered the shawarma plate, which came with lots of salad and rice. The portion was generous and filling, and the food was delectable. The shawarma was flavorful and its soft but chewy texture was on point. Bonus points: the takeout containers are compostable. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I've come back to Sham and I am so happy that they now serve and even sell the Beyond Burger patty. The food was great as usual, I recommend trying their harissa!

The shwarma was so incredible-- get the "assiete" (plate) with salad and yellow rice, which includes a white garlic sauce that I could swim in, it was so delectable. The woman who works there is warm and welcoming, and I was tempted to buy a gallon of garlic sauce to go. Please go here. Support local immigrant businesses (and it's delicious!!)

What an amazing find! Like someone else mentioned, my friend and I were on our way to the Jean-Talon Market and unexpectedly saw the large window signs on the building which showed some eye-catching vegan food. The owner is super friendly. He openly shared with us his story, passion, and reasons for opening a great vegan restaurant with nutritious offerings. The vegan meat that they have is a delicious original creation that is flavored in multiple different sauces. The food was super fresh, colorful, flavorful, affordable, beautiful and interesting. It had great appeal. I highly recommend this place. If I lived in Montreal, I would be a regular - no question!

Delicious food with lots of flavour. We had the shish taouk plate and a shwarma combo along with khebe (our favourites were the spinach ones). Everything was fresh and hot and much better than similar dishes we've had elsewhere - vegan or non vegan. Will be back!

Great vegan Lebanese food! My boyfriend (not vegan) and I were really impressed by the shish taouk! Only complaint is it's a little on the pricey side, my boyfriend was still hungry afterwards but I was okay.

I just happened to drive by on my way to the Jean Talon market and saw the sign saying Vegetarian/Vegan. So of course I had to come try it out. I didn't expect to have another delicious option nearby. I've had Gusto last time. I've never had vegetarian shawarma before and it exceeded my expectations. I believed it was seitan based but the owner said mushroom and soy and they season and marinate it so it's really tender and flavorful. I just got the shawarma wrap and 6 falafel. The falafel were also amazing but I saw a lot of people getting shawarma plates. They were huge! Probably enough to share for 2 people. Next time I'm definitely going to try that and their shish taouk (chicken). I wish I lived nearby it's nice to have more options than just salad dips and falafel for Syrian food. They seem really friendly as well. Such a nice surprise to find.

Excellent and fresh vegan fare with delicious flavor. It's addictive:) Sham is our favorite family food especially when we're ultra hungry (which is often). Even the non-vegans in our fam love it. Try the baklava! Highly recommend Sham.

Simply amazing!! We had the best service ever... We wanted a vegan lunch and we sure got it. I recommend this place 110%!!
