A little about this place
About Yaseen's Shawarma
Yaseen's Shawarma is a Syrian-style halal shawarma restaurant on Maingate Drive in Mississauga, serving shawarma wrapped in freshly toasted saj bread with signature garlic sauce, alongside plates, family platters and lentil soup, for dine-in, takeout and delivery. Multiple reviewers describe the chicken and beef shawarma as excellent, some calling it among the best Syrian shawarma in the GTA, and more than one praised helpful, hospitable staff. Google's own review-topic counts list beef shawarma, chicken shawarma plate, authentic/Syrian shawarma and a prayer room among the most-mentioned aspects. A separate set of reviewers described a different, more recent experience: a perceived decline in the amount of meat relative to sauce and lettuce, and orders not prepared to the instructions given, in one case described as a recurring problem across repeat visits. No halal certifier is stated on the Google listing, though the menu is described by a reviewer as fully halal.
