A little about this place
About Shelby's Kingston
Shelby's Legendary Shawarma operates at 575 Princess Street, Unit 107, as confirmed by the chain's Kingston opening announcement. The fast-casual menu features Shelby's Famous Shawarma Wrab and Bowl, Shawarma Boutine, halloumi-and-halal-beef-bacon wraps, butter chicken and other fusion shawarma bowls, build-your-own chicken or beef shawarma, falafel, fries, dips, smoothies and kids' meals. Online ordering is available, while the exact Kingston seating, parking and washroom setup was not independently checked.
Shelby's current policy page says all locations use 100% hand-slaughtered halal meat; however, the chicken certificate image displayed there expired on August 14, 2026, before this September 3 check, so present certificate coverage needs direct confirmation. HFP has not certified the chain. Visible Google reviewers praise flavour, service and the self-order kiosks, while the recent low-rated sample repeatedly criticizes smaller portions, reduced value and dry or reheated-tasting chicken.
Maps lists a washroom and wheelchair-accessible washroom plus free and paid street parking. The expired displayed halal certificate remains a material scope issue, so publication stays manual.
