Shawarma Empire

Came right as they opened and both chicken and beef spits looked mouth watering. We obviously got both a chicken and beef shawarma. Both meats were packed with flavour and specifically for the beef, it is definitely in the top for me. I like the idea of a shawarma sandwich in the circular pita. Definitely coming back next time I’m in town.

Every time I place an order, it is prepared incorrectly. When I call to address the issue, I receive repeated apologies, but the same mistakes continue to happen. I always provide simple and clear instructions—both through the app and by phone—yet the orders are not followed properly. Ingredients that I specifically request to be excluded are still added, which is especially concerning as I have allergies. On top of this, the food often arrives soggy and unappetizing. This is not acceptable or fair to customers. I strongly urge improvements in order accuracy and food preparation, especially when health and safety are at risk.

We wanted to get some delicious shawarma while visiting Toronto and this spot in Scarborough definitely hit the spot! The portions were generous for a reasonable price.

Amazing food and excellent service !! Quantity is best compared to any other shawarma place❤️❤️❤️must visit

Saw Shawarma Empire listed as one of the top shawarma spots in the GTA, so my friend and I decided to check it out. First time trying the pita pocket style shawarma. I got the beef shawarma, while my friend went for the chicken, and both were pretty solid. The portions were great for the price, and you definitely get your money's worth. That said, I found the beef a little dry, especially compared to the juicy, flavorful chicken, which was hands down the better pick. If I go back, I'll be grabbing the chicken for sure! Overall, it's a solid spot, good value, and worth trying if you're in the area.

Visited recently as one of the highly rated shawarma spots in the Lawrence West/Scarborough area. Shawarma Empire is one of the many Middle Eastern spots along Lawrence, and best known for their shawarma wraps and shawarma plates. Their shawarma plates come fully packed in a takeout box, fully filled to the top with rice (or fries), salad, hummus, garlic sauce and choice of meat along with a pita on the side. What was great was the rice, which was a marinated rice dish that paired very well with the meat chosen as part of the shawarma plate. The value alone for this is well worth it given the quantity provided in a single takeout box. If you are looking to try their shawarma plates, getting the Mix Sharwarma is a good way to try both of their meat offerings at the same time. Highly recommended just for the portion size and value alone. Note that they mainly take cash or debit, and seating is limited inside their restaurant so expect to take any orders to-go.

I can see why this place is iconic in the area! Their prices are amazing and the portion sizes are very generous. I really enjoyed all the fresh toppings they provide with the shawarmas. I found the chicken shawarma to be juicy, but it was a little short on flavour for me. Tried their lentil soup as well and found it to be decent. I still recommend this shop for good value meals.

Probably one of the top 5 shawarma places in the GTA in a small, no frills simple place which does things right The food is fresh and tasty, portions are generous, and low prices. I've been coming here for almost 8 years on different days of the week n times and the quality has been great and consistent each time. Come early as it can get super busy with limited seating.
