Yum Shawarma — Restaurant in Brampton

Hello foodies …Today I bring another amazing food review but warning!!! This is not your typical Middle Eastern shawarma or chicken and rice. Yum Shawarma is on a whole other flavour level this is Shawarma with a strong touch of the Pakistani spices not at all your typical middle eastern style or spiced shawarma or spices. This place has some great reviews and now after having there chicken shawarma plate I understand why. I have been to well over 2 dozen different shawarma places in the GTA , give or take, they pretty much very similar to each other in taste and the spices they use are familiarly middle eastern. Yum Shawarma is run by Pakistani owners and they use some very strong curries and spices to really level up the flavors in their shawarma meat. FOOD 5/5 …I ordered the chicken shawarma plate, and let’s just say I was very impressed and thrown back with the juicy, very spicy, and loaded with flavor amazing chicken meat. I mean this was almost like eating a curried chicken in shawarma format, the taste was full and amazing with every morsel of meat. You could taste the curries and cumin and all the wonderful spices in every bite unlike the typical Middle Eastern shawarma however still very good but bland in comparison to Yum Shawarma. The rice again very different it had strong hints of cumin and cinnamon and very different then your typical middle eastern yellow rice , this rice was as close to biryani rice in flavor as it gets ,very nice and spicy. I was also impressed with their salad not because the salad was different then you normally get anywhere else but the dressing they used was just fantastic, it was tangy and yet a very nice hint of sweetness that went so perfectly with the spicy Shawarma meat and rice, the perfect salad dressing. The hot sauce was also very unique in flavor it had a strong kick again much different then typical middle eastern hot sauce , again it had hints of curries in it , for sure I could taste the Pakistani touches to this hot sauce however it has been made ,very unique and tasty hot sauce. I would recommend you get it on the side if you don’t have a tolerance as it has a good kick to it Service 5/5 was greeted by the owner who was very friendly and the service was great, food was served within less than five minutes freshly cut of the rotating spit, doesn’t get any fresher than that. Everything tasted fresh and looked fresh, restaurant looked clean. If you’re looking for shawarma with a kick and up ten notches in flavor, then check these guys out! They are located in a plaza with plenty of parking and...

Leaving a 1 star because the portion sizes are absolutely horrific, especially when adding extras to your order. For instance: i ordered a shawarma plate with turnips added on. No lie, i am not in any way exaggerating here, i got 3 turnip pieces on my food. 3. Three pieces. There's absolutely no excuse for this, and because of it, this store deserves 1 star. I'm not sure if the staff are dumb, but they need better training. If it's the management/owners who decide that a customer who orders a shawarma platter should get 3 pieces of turnip, then this business even moreso deserves 1 star.

I ordered a chicken shawarma plate from this location as well, and the salad on the platter was so depressingly pathetic that it inspired me to write this 1 star review. You can visibly see how it doesnt even fill up the take out box next to the shawarma/rice portion. Im looking at it right now.

Save your money. The portions are terrible at this restaurant. Ive tried leaving a review on uber eats with this exact same message but they dont allow it for some reason. Really ask yourself (owners, employees) do you really think its acceptable to give paying customers LITERALLY 3 pieces of turnip on their order? An order they asked for extra turnips? 3 pieces?

Just an awful shawarma spot. They penny pinch, they have no respect for customers' money. Go somewhere else.

Edit: June 8th, 2025 I'd really like to re-iterate my hatred of this restaurant. I still think about the pathetically bad portions to this day, and how my money was wasted here. Please, if you stumble upon this review, it's not an exaggeration. Save your money. The 4.5 star reviews on uber eats is...

I recently visited this restaurant for the first time,I wanted to try something small, so I started with one of their mini cakes and honestly, it was love at first bite. The flavors were so rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced that I immediately knew I had to come back for more. I tried their Milk Cake, Biscoff Cake, and Pista Cake, and each one had its own unique charm. The Milk Cake was soft, moist, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious it had that perfect traditional taste with a modern touch. The Biscoff Cake was a total standout rich, creamy, and loaded with that caramelized Biscoff flavor that every dessert lover dreams of. The Pista Cake was another favorite light, nutty, and beautifully flavored, with just the right sweetness. After that first visit, I couldn’t resist as well as I ordered a full tray for a family gathering, and it was a huge hit. Everyone kept asking where I got the cakes from because they were so fresh and flavorful. It honestly made our celebration extra special. The presentation was beautiful, the service was great, and the overall quality was outstanding. You can tell they put a lot of love and care into their desserts. If u r looking for fresh, delicious, and beautifully made cakes, I’d definitely recommend this place. Whether it is for a small treat or a big family event, they never disappoint. Definitely I will be going back to try more...
