A little about this place

About Sham Shawarma

Sham Shawarma is a family-run Syrian shawarma shop at 576 Montréal Road in Vanier, known for charcoal-grilled chicken shawarma. Charcoal saj wraps, shawarma trios and family saj platters with fries and pickles headline the menu, alongside beef shawarma, broasted chicken, falafel, shawarma poutine and potatoes with garlic sauce, plus cinnamon tea. Portions are large, and it stays open late; the room is simple, so most orders are taken to go.
