A little about this place
About Shawarma La Joie Gatineau
La Joie Shawarma is an exact Google Maps match for HFP's Promenade du Portage address and unusual 613 phone number. Google showed 4.7 stars from 165 reviews. Relevant reviewers repeatedly praised tender beef shawarma, fresh food, falafel, potatoes, generous successful portions and friendly service. The small low-rated set, much of it several years old, raised small portions, soggy potatoes, limited hours and one cross-contact allegation; current recurrence is unclear. Google lists a washroom and free street parking but explicitly says the entrance and seating are not wheelchair accessible. No stable restaurant-owned menu, current halal statement or named certifier was found, so signature dishes remain withheld and the record stays manual.
