Reviews of Shawarma Garden (Gardener)

Rachel Thomas

Good place to eat. The portions are large and everything was tasty. A bit pricey, but you'll have leftovers so look at it like you bought lunch and dinner ????

Dru M

Love it. Excellent Shwarma. So glad to have this in Brockville.

So fortunate to have such a great place to get delicious Shawarma in Brockville. The New Owner is friendly, and fun... with an obvious passion for good food, and excellent service! I HIGHLY recommend!

Amanda Davidson

Absolutely delicious! My daughter and I had a girl's day and stopped for lunch. Amazing!! Did not disappoint. The portions and quality of the food was on point. Donair was INCREDIBLE. Fries are crispy and hot!! We'll be back next time we're in town!!!

Ahamed Abbas

Great shawarma and amazing potatoes. Food is always very well seasoned and great freshness. Service is excellent. Favorite place in Brockville ON. It’s our weekly spot for an amazing Shawarma! Generous with their portions. Owner was very nice and humble. Thank you ????

Joshua Oommen

One of the best shawarmas of my life! Amazing service and the guy was really funny! Would definitely recommend and come back again!

Joel Mueller

Danika Degarris

Very lovely owners, easy to talk to and very accommodating. We ordered our food (Which was delicious!) and sat outside on the lovely patio which was clean and spacious. In the middle of our meal the man personally came out and brought us all water bottles free of charge! It was a hot day and they were really looking out for us <3

Nicolas Fortier

Fantastic! Finally a Shawarma place in Brockville. I had their Shawarma platter... delicious. Great chicken, crispy, hot, well seasoned and juicy. Potatoes were perfect and the hummus/ garlic sauce was great. Service was top notch, and best of all its a clean place.

Samantha Jennings

Wonderful service and perfectly friendly staff. Got the family platter and all the food was fresh and delicious. Authentic Lebanese shawarma and will definitely go back.

Ali A

Very good service. Mix plate was more than enough food for one person. I got there just before closing so I didn't get to see the full selection but they served me anyways. I'll be back to try out other items on the menu

Keith Lloyd

*Edit* After being refunded by skip, the owner has gone above and beyond in correcting the issue.

Donna Toffelmire

Very good food and super nice workers.

Mike Smith

OMG, best Shawarma in Brockville! SO GOOD! Friendly staff and a great pick-up experience. Highly recommend!

Fassel Hussain

It was a great place. We went there in March and it was quiet. The Lebanese owner was very friendly. The food was ample and tasty. The place gets very busy once the river starts flowing and the ships start moving. They also have an outside patio for summer which I bet would be an amazing place to sit in summer and enjoy the hustle and bustle of river traffic.

Calder MacPherson

I ordered a falafel sandwich today and it was great. Service was exceptional and the contents of the sandwich were fresh, sliced properly, and heated to perfection!

Siva U. Shankar

By taste not anything to complain. Pretty clean environment. They've got outside open seating accommodation. But for a town of this size the price is on above average.

Hind Taoufiq

The food is so delicious and healthy! Great service. MUST TRY! The portions are so big, prices are very reasonable and below the market standards. Keep up the good work!!! You rock!!!!

Mc Towers

Fresh food with friendly service. We always come back as a family. It has become a favourite!

Vernon Ashby

Nice friendly shawarma place. Had a small chicken shawarma sandwich with a side of potatoes and taboulleh. Small shawarma was nicely cooked and served with a good variety of the normal toppings. Potatoes were freshly cooked (not dried out) and served with toum(garlic sauce). Taboulleh was light and slightly minty which I loved. Lunch for two including drinks was around $32. Sat on the deck/patio and watched the shoppers go by. My only wish is that they had a receptacle for recycling cans and bottles.

Jennie Brundige

Food is amazing! Prices are spot on! Locally run, and very friendly service! Highly recommend the family of 4 meal (enough for more than 4!) eat here and you won’t be disappointed!

dhaval lad

Food quality and quantity was amazing. Loved flafel wrap and falafel salad ????????

Clint House

The ONLY choice for quality Shawarma in Brockville!

Leeds Learning

On Friday, May 28 we picked up a take out order. This was our first visit since the change in ownership. It was excellent as always! The portions were still generous, the food was still fresh and delicious, and the staff were still friendly and efficient. Love the toum! I could eat it every day!

GeorgeandLorri Pringle

Perfect portions...tastes great!

Ritwik Chitrabhanu

Ordered mixed shawarma platter last week. Not so great and quantity was not bad either. I went by the reviews but I would review it only 3 out of 5. The staff was good

Bennett James

The food is very good. My only complaint is the guy comes out from the back room and starts making food. I’d like to at least see him wash his hands if he’s not going to wear gloves. If he’s touching his phone or whatever really and then making food it’s gross. I’ve never seen him wash his hands.

Ihssane Lghazaoui

When I read that people were driving from ottawa to there just for the shawarma I thought they were exaggerating... But it's really worth it. We had the shawarma sandwiches and the plates and it's really tasty. Huge portions too. The best halal options if you're on the 401 and don't want a long detour.

Nathan Rabbe

Fantastic restaurant. They loaded my platter to the brim and even included a whole pita on the house. The owner is very charismatic with a big heart for the community. Between filling your portions UNLIKE OSMOWS, you really get a sense of family. Make sure to come visit!

Philip Cloutier

Good food after a walk through the tunnel

Siddy Usman

Their shawarma is amazing

Aj Ajeal

Don't read, just go, super friendly, food is delicious, well priced and the lady gave us so much food!!

Eric McKenzie

Great food and friendly service!

Michelle Beaudry

One of the absolute best Shwarma places in Canada. Everything is delicious and fresh. You can tell how much love is put into everything that is made here. Super nice and friendly service and awesome prices. I could literally eat here everyday! Better than any shwarma place in Ottawa by far as you can tell the quality of the food is A+. Fully recommend!!!

Gustavo Cadar

I tried this small restaurant during a work travel to Brockville and I absolutely loved their donnair beef shawarma. I found the mix of vegetables and spices very unique. The new owner told me it was Moroccan style. The next week I had to go to Brockville again and didn’t think twice. Went back to Shawarma Harden and this time tried the flame grilled kebob shawarma. Mmmmm. It takes a little longer to prepare, but it’s worth, believe me. Delicious, even better than the donnair. The day after I was still in town and came again, this time to try the kefta shawarma. I am at the restaurant waiting for it yet, but I am sure it will be just as good as everything else here. I wish I had more days here to keep trying their whole menu. Fresh, authentic food. I highly recommend it.

Christa Guthrie Vincent

It tasted good at first but then I ended up having to sit on the toliet all night. Also they are not very sanitary. They leave meat out in the counter in the back and they dispose of there grease behind the restaurant in the alleyway. Knowing that I will NEVER eat there ever again!

Taylor Halladay

Absolutely amazing food, and great portion sizes for a really good price! Very friendly employees with excellent customer service. Best place to eat downtown!!

Vanessa Ring

Excellent! So delicious. Plus good value and friendly service.

Christine N

I asked if they had some place for customers to wash their hands before eating the guy said "No." Then I asked if there was at least hand sanitizer available, again another unapologetic, impolite "No." The kicker though was that my husband found a thread of metal laying in the sauce on top of his falafel. Appeared to be a piece off a metal scouring pad. They need to be more careful! The food was good but wish I had known about their lack of health and sanitation protocols before purchasing anything here. I can't recommend this place to anyone and can only hope that they improve themselves.

Ralf Winter

I enjoy Lebanese food and Shawarma Garden really hits the spot. Delicious every time. Wonderful food, very good freindly service, you will not leave the table hungry.

Peter Feig

These guys hit it out of the park every single time! It's clear their focus is on Fresh quality ingredients and their portions are enormous! Bring the family and get fed you won't be disappointed

Dave Warren

Great quantity of food. I found this meat not as spicy as I am used to in the Greater Toronto Area. Salad was fresh.

Trail Report

Amazing ... Little pricey

Jeremy Dutton

This place was excellent. Very tasty and generous portions.

Jaydon Patry élève

The restaurant was clean, the staff were very nice, and it was the best shawarma i had ever had!

Angelo Zgheib

Best Shawarma ive ever eaten!!!! The chicken is so tender and juicy, the hummus and garlic sauces are????, fresh vegetables and really good potatoes too! Everybody should try out this place???? P.S. the staff are amazing

Jessie Popkie

Seriously SO delicious - one of my favourite places in Brockville to eat (and I am tough to please with food!). The garlic sauce is to die for... We tried the "other" shawarma place in Brockville and regretted it immediately when we knew we could have got food from here instead. The crew is extremely friendly, and huge portions. A plate is usually 2-3 servings... so extrememly great value!

Gabriel Moussa

Fast, friendly and fresh food. If you want real authentic Lebanese food this is the place. Owner is generous and knows all the locals and regulars. You will not be disappointed.

Cameron Tarle

Fantastic place! New ownership shows good value and flavour!!

Tim Bresee

Just ordered a mix family plate. WOW is all I can say. Highly recommend everybody try it. If the food doesn't get you coming back, the hospitality will !!

Samuel Charlebois

I have been going to shawarma garden alot recently and everyrime the food is amazing the portion are perfect and the quality is great. I have and will never complain about the price bc during rough times soothing need to change but the food is still amazing. I recommend it 100% a great place to eat.

Aleatha Aiken-Sherrer

I got a shawarma poutine, because of course I did. The fellow who made our meals was cheery, happy to help us choose what to get, and the chicken was incredible. Also love the big patio right downtown.

Shom T

Generous quantity of food. Two of us shared one platter of chicken shawarma.

Husain Campwala

Nice place. Loved the food

Mohammad Shafayet Islam

Nice and big shwarmas. Price is quite reasonable regarding the sizes. Nice ambience too. Washrooms were clean as well.

Pete Deacon

I've had shawarma in some big cities and it was good... this is great! I've tried both the chicken and veg version and would highly recommend either! Tasty and LARGE! Bring your appetite and you'll be going back for more! Support our local businesses.. they've been good to us... let's reciprocate!!

Megan Ward

Third time tonight we pick up shawarma meals. Every time food is delicious. Tonight we both had a shawarma trio combo, so much food! Great customer service. Looking forward to trying other menu items!

Pete

Great food.

R G

Food is really good. Comparable to Shawarma Palace in Ottawa. Two large foil trays for a family was $49 plus tax. Fed 8 plus people. Fallaffels are well seasoned and not greasy. Staff were friendly. Small outdoor dining area when covid is done. Portions are generous. Parking at rear.

Jarrod Wenborn

Best Shawarma my family has ever had. Highly recommend this place. The portions are of the best value I’ve experienced. Weekly customer.

Steven King

Ordered the family meal and it was excellent! Plenty of fresh delicious healthy food that easily feeds 4 adults. Authentic Lebanese flavours, family run, it will definitely be a regular takeout choice.

Very pleased with customer service

Barbara Harris

Generous servings, great food! They even stayed open a few minutes late for our pick up order

I moved from Brockville to Toronto area , but still nothing like this store shawarma. I hope I can go back and eat there ????

Molly Hurtubise

Horrible.. waited 45 minutes for my order. I ordered a mixed platter and a sandwich for me and my starving 4 yr old waiting for me at home. This was supposed to make my night easier but instead I paid money to wait longer than it would have taken me to cook our own god damn dinner.. I still wait here while he serves EVERY person who came in after me, before me.. will never be back again.

Taylor Roddick

Shawarma Garden is my favourite place to eat in Brockville hands down! The food has always been incredible, portions are generous, restaurant is clean and the staff is always friendly. One of the owners, Nikolas always makes my day. He remembers my order and is one of the most genuinely wonderful people I've ever met. I definitely recommend it! (Also they have a outdoor patio opening in the next few days which is going to be amazing!!)

azza kammoun

Great food! Very generous portions!

Karley Hoyland

Worth every dollar. Love the garlic sauce

Dan Armstrong

Best shawarma ever king Arthur woodwork approved!!

Carl Knights

I have been craving Shawarma for almost a full week and I must have come here on a good night but if this is how it is every night then I sure hope the owners and employees are being recognized for it. Service is good, as it's always been, but the preparation of my meal was a whole lot quicker than I remember it being because I paid in under a few minutes and had my meal in 10 minutes, and the only thing being waited for was the meat because I guess the oven had to be fired up again. For reference, this restaurant used to have a different owner and my aunt and I knew him because we all helped out with the refugee program. Nut he has since moved out and I believe he relocated to Montreal but I could be wrong. Nice guy but he'd been having a rough time with personal issues and I hope he's doing better now. The new owner seems to know what he is doing. Prices have gone up just a bit but service is faster and it isn't as difficult to let the servers know what you want. And as per pandemic restrictions, masks are required and there is a line with sanitizer near the front door. You cannot eat in here and were never able to since the lockdown began in March of 2020. Nor do you really need to phone ahead. You can walk in, order your meal, watch it being prepared, and walk out in a reasonable amount of time. 10 minutes is the upper limit; if the oven's already going then you'll be out of there faster. The atmosphere is great, better in the afternoon but good in the evening as well. Servers are friendly and know what they are doing. And the food...my craving was sooo justified tonight because within half an hour everything is gone now. My ONLY critique would be that there needs to be a better way to let people know the place is open in the evenings because it always looks so dark inside. Anyway, I've rambled long enough. Shawarma Garden is a wonderful establishment and adds more diversity to the usual fast food assortment we have in Brockville. Thanks for reading!

Don Geiger

Always fresh and delicious Friendly owners

Nathan Driver

Friendly staff great food

Rajaa Ha

The best place to eat in brockville, amazing taste, very clean, awesome owner him and his wife both friendly and welcoming. Definitely going back for more tasty food????????

Karen Whalen

Ohhhh this is a secret that needs to get out. They make the BEST Shawarma!!!! It's a treat any day of the week. The customer service is awesome. You can call ahead to have your order ready. YUMMY ????????????????????

Samantha Burns

Was there today at lunch and picked up a Chicken Shawarma and small side of potatoes (which I could have easily shared with another person, if they weren't so good!). I was impressed by the cleanliness, quick service and amazing staff. Everyone was nice and patient as I tried to navigate my 1st shawarma experience. The food was well prepared, fresh and so tasty. I will likely ask for just a little garlic butter on my potatoes next time, not because it wasn't yummy, it's just strong garlic that sticks with you :) I highly recommend you try it.

angelo petrocelli

This is an amazing restaurant. The food is so delicious and 5 stars for Customer service. I ordered mixed kabab I couldn't finish my plate. Definitely will continue to order from them.

Penny Wood

Service is excellent, Great food

Mohammed Siddiqui

Great food, great owner awesome service

Tiffany Christina

For a visitor from Toronto, this place was a nice delight for ethnic eating. The portion of mixed platter I got was huge, and cost $20 which included rice potatoes salad chicken and gyro, with lots of hummus and garlic sauce. The meat tasted good quality but very dry from being overcooked. The owner who also makes the food recipes and serves them added a "sweet sauce" which was an interesting addition to the meat. I think it tasted great with the chicken, but does not compliment the gyro well at all. I would get tahini instead.
