I forgot how amazing Queen Shawarma is! Got the chicken shawarma plate - it’s delicious and enough food for almost two people.

Delicious quality & filling quantity for such great price!! The warm hospitality & special flavours of a family proud to serve the dishes from generations of culture. Great, uplifting stories shared too, with laughter & respect! Queen Shwarma is an all around pleasant meal to eat in or take home. And SO much food for $20!! I even had desert!Vegetarian options: Lots of flavourful, fresh vegetable mixing options!!Kid-friendliness: Family quality environment. Bright & very clean.Parking: Places right beside their building reserved for Queen Shwarma.Wheelchair accessibility: One level, flat from the sidewalk.Dietary restrictions: They make everything fresh there, deli style to ask ingredients and choose your contents.

I purchased the shawarma wrap, and it was delicious, the chicken had a great flavour, it was tender and fresh, the sauces were house made and were so good. Even the hot sauce, it wasn't those hot sauces that just burned, it had great flavour and the right amount of burn (for me anyways). And the vegetables were all fresh and really good. And the service was teriffic, the couple that own and work there, work hard and are very wholesome and generous. I really recommend Queen Shawarma and Kabab!

Fabulous food, super sweet people, great little patio in the back (feels like you're in a tropical country). They have the best falafel I've found in town, made from fava beans, and lots of other vegan options ... including stuffed grape leaves and baklava! Everything made from scratch, very reasonably priced, and always served with a friendly smile and a kind word. They cater and do festivals too, folks.

Tonight was our first visit to Queen Shawarma & Kabab. Karim was very friendly and took his time to explain the different foods to us; we could sense his passion. The look, the smell, and especially the taste confirmed this.We ordered a chicken shawarma plate and a beef shawarma plate for dinner. Karim cooked a 'special' beef shawarma for my girlfriend, which was amazing!! Tip: if you like a little heat, definitely try the homemade hot sauce.I could tell that Karim was really enjoying cooking and preparing our meals. It made me want to try everything else. So, we ordered 1 of each flavour of samosa, a type of borek, and 2 of each type of desert offered. Karim carefully packed everything to-go and continued to explain the flavours to us. We opted for take-out, but you can dine-in or sit on the very cozy patio out back.The food was fantastic!! Everything tasted so fresh, cooked from scratch, homemade. Even the parsley in the salad tasted as fresh as the parsley we grow and cook from our garden. The hot sauce had some kick and was full of flavour, just right. The portions were very generous, there's no way we could finish everything. We were happy to order so much so we could taste it all (and have lots of leftovers).Everything about Queen Shawarma & Kabab is fantastic, from Karim to his food. The restaurant is cozy, there's a patio out back, the portions are generous, the meat or veggie options are just enough, the flavour is fantastic, and the prices are very fair.We'll definitely be back to support this local gem!!

Delicious Turkish style shawarma and samosa. The lady behind the counter was running the whole show herself, and still managed to be really friendly and explained all the food items we asked about. Small patio out front is a nice option too. The place is not fancy at all but the food is good and the prices are too. Vegan options available.

This was our first time ordering takeout here and our experience was phenomenal. The service was extremely friendly and they made sure to make our first experience special. We shared a piece of homemade baklava while we waited for our shawarma plates and it was the best I’ve ever had. As a local, I will definitely be coming back.

Visit to the shopStopped by to pick up some of my favourite veggie patties and picked up a few extra items apparently ? There is no Shawarma shop around here that is so welcoming to veggie folks and provides as many options as they do.Previous reviewThey are so lovely! Mom & Pop shop that do both veggie and meat options. They have veggie patties that are really tasty! Falafels, Samosas, Baclava and other options. You will often find them at events and festivals around town. Today they were at Vegfest.

Had a day trip in Kitchener yesterday tried out this place turned out be the best choice! We ordered 2 plates and chicken poutine all taste soo good! The poutine comes with salad which I have never seen before. The owner was very very friendly and generous which is gem in Ontario tbh....Haven't met such friendly restaurant owner for a long time. Oh Yes, their dessert is a must try especially Bakalava like the one I had in UAE. Highly recommend. I will definitely visit this place again if I ever visit Kitchner. Thank you

This is a MUST for you to visit. Tasty, flavourful and fresh. The best part is the owner… she is absolutely the sweetest! I enjoy our visit as much as the food. Chicken shawarma plate is my go to. *hand cut fries too if that’s your thing.
Ordered the Doner plate hoping for some Turkish cuisine. Unfortunately it ended up being Gyro! So either they should make Doner or advertise it as Gyro. Their sauces weren't the greatest either.On the other hand the portion size was large and they were friendly.

Authentic Turkish cuisine. Great food at a good price. They could do a little better with the serving size but the overall quality of the food is amazing. I wouldn’t mind going back for more.

If you like Shawarma then you must try this one! Is the best in Kitchener! Downtown Kitchener next to Charles bus terminal. Staff is amazing! You will not regret it! Price is great too!
