A little about this place
About Uncle Sal's Shawarma Richmond
Uncle Sal's Shawarma serves chicken and lamb shawarma, beef donair, falafel wraps and shawarma plates with fries, salads and house sauces. Recent Google reviewers praise the flavourful chicken-and-rice plates, garlic sauce, hot fries and kind service. Low-rated reviews report inconsistent freshness or shawarma flavour, uneven service and isolated cleanliness concerns such as dirty utensils or hair; those allegations are not independently verified.
Google Maps explicitly does not list a washroom, but lists wheelchair-accessible seating, entrance and parking and free lot and street parking with plentiful capacity; HFP has not inspected them. The business describes continuity from the former Al Basha Richmond operation, so retain manual review of the historical identity and current image-based menu.
