This is my favourite comfort food when I need to warm up in the winter or even an alternative to chicken soup when getting over a cold. The owners are always so attentive to my family and their chicken shawerma is delicious!

I got the chicken shawarma plate with extra hot sauce, fattoush and rice as the sides. The chicken was very flavourful. The hot sauce was not hot at all in my opinion (actually I'd prefer it with more heat) and the creamy garlic sauce was too rich for me (it really tastes like mayo). The fattoush was great with the fried pita chips. I found it quite refreshing after the rich garlic sauce. It's... more

My department at the University of Waterloo used Shawerma Plus to cater lunches for five days for 30 instructors. The individuals were from Saudi Arabia, so they know good Middle Eastern food when they encounter it! Without exception, they said that the lunches were superb (and I agree with them -- the entrees and the desserts were delicious).

I ordered here yesterday, forgot to leave a review.. It was very tasty, so I don't comprehend how I forgot. I got the chicken and basmati rice dinner with garlic sauce and a bit of hot sauce on top.

This place is great, don't get me wrong I think that if this place existed in the burbs of the GTA it'd be a 4.5 star. But it doesn't, it exists in every close proximity to mozy's. If nothing else shawerma plus makes a shawerma that's as good as mozy's but at roughly half the size and at equivalent cost. The value proposition of this place is just off. Why would I pay $8 for a smaller shawerma... more

I have tried shawarmas from Mozy's, Al-Madina, Villa Madina, Arabesque, pretty much every shawarma place around, but Shawerma Plus is hands down the best shawarma place in KW. The Shawarma Combo gets you a shawarma, can of pop and either fries or a salad for around the same price as just a shawarma from Mozy's, to put pricing into perspective. On top of that, the shawarmas are much richer in... more

The defining characteristic of this restaurant for me is how the food tastes homecooked. It's hard to pinpoint, but each element of their dish is made with care. At many shawarma places, the wrap is essentially mass produced, possibly delicious and filling but with no soul. Here, the wrap is just a little bit softer, the meat just a little bit tastier with a touch more herbs and spices. The... more

Service is nice and friendly. Football is playing on a large flatscreen TV on one of the walls. Food there is good, but prices are on the high side. Had a chicken shawarma combo with drink and fries and I found the shawarma to be on the small side for $8.69 (wish I could order it by itself!). Many of the meals are in the $12 - $15 range so this place is not just for fast food.
