Royal Shawarma, located in Oakville, Ontario, is quickly becoming a local favorite for Mediterranean cuisine lovers. This quaint eatery excels in delivering flavorful offerings, highlighted by their chicken shawarma, which many customers laud as the best they've ever tasted. The chicken is expertly cooked, moist, and complemented by unique additions like grilled pineapple and zesty garlic sauce, making each bite a burst of flavor. Patrons appreciate the generous portions, particularly the chicken shawarma plated with rice or home fries. Aside from the shawarma, the establishment also serves delightful sides such as baba ganoush and hummus, alongside a fresh Greek salad. While some reviews note that wait times can be longer due to the meals being made fresh to order, the quality of the food far outweighs this minor inconvenience. Customers value the friendly atmosphere created by the staff, who go above and beyond to ensure an enjoyable dining experience. Even amidst a simple setting, the restaurant's world-class shawarmas have left many, including myself, eager to return. Overall, Royal Shawarma is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking authentic Mediterranean flavors that won't disappoint.

Excellent food! Chicken is cooked better than almost any other shawarma place. The sauces and pineapple make it so much better. Like others mentioned, the hot sauce isn't that spicy but still has a great taste.

I don't understand why the ratings are so low here. This hands down the best shawarma I've had in my life. Ordered chicken with pineapple wrap and the seasoning was perfect. Juicy as well. Maybe the negative reviews stem from the beef eaters... Wait times are a little long as it's made fresh to order.

10/10 shawarma joint. The two gentleman working today were down to earth, weren’t on their phones but instead just wanted to chat. The shawarma on rice was phenomenal, seared on the grill giving you a crispy bite, enough meat so that you’re not left with 50% rice afterwards... garlic sauce was amazing too with a very generous portion. If I was to give any constructive criticism is a little less ketchup in your hot sauce and a little more kick. Otherwise this has now become my go to shawarma spot. The reviews don’t align with the service and quality of food!

Mouth watering, authentic Shwarmas!! Beats all other places in my books! Thick and juicy. You get more bang for the buck. Place is not upgraded, but the Shwarma is world class!

Super tasty shawarmas and very big! The place is not modern but I’ll take it over all the other polished Shwarma places. Delicious. Honestly my favourite Shwarma place here in the west part of GTA.

Was in the area and decided to revisit this place. Been over 15 years, the sons are running the place now. Not much have changed, decor still the same. They are using the wraps now instead of the original buns. I opted for the chicken salad, pricey but tasty. I remember it being very busy during lunch on weekdays but this Saturday was not busy, chicken shawarma was reheated on the grill as normal, with added spice, but it could have been grilled a bit more. I remember it being more crispy. Garlic sauce and the homemade spicy BBQ is delicious. They need to bottle that and sell it. Grill the chicken more next time please, I like it crispy. Recommend this place even though it's a bit pricey.

Hands down best spot in Oakville. Please don’t look at the 3 star review and be deterred. Best flavour, freshness and it’s loaded to the brim. Get extra hot sauce. It’s not too spicy, has loads of flavour.
