Mehfill Shawarma - Bowmanville — Restaurant in Clarington

EDIT 2025-05-20: To keep it brief, if you order from ubereats, expect errors. IF you're ordering for pickup, CHECK before you leave that everything is correct and there. The best option is for takeout or dining in. The food is still great, but despite assurances to the contrary, I am still getting parts of my orders missed or entirely wrong. I really do not know why this keeps happening. /END OF EDIT ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW

I deeply apologise for forgetting her name, I think it was Himani?, but the lovely cashier immediately recognised my name from all the orders I've placed over UberEats and offered me the deals on uber because of it.

I absolutely love the food. The chicken is the best I have ever had from a shawarma place. It's juicy, fresh, and flavourful. It easily puts all others to shame. The beef shawarma aren't so good, and I've given them a fair shake--the meat is usually hard and burnt, even if all the other ingredients are fresh. The beef KEBABS are heavenly, though, so try those if you haven't. They're so juicy and tender, my goodness.

Now, if I had to say one last negative it's that every single time I've ordered, whether it's pickup or delivery, there is always something missing, sometimes a few. As of this writing, I've just gotten another order 30 minutes ago where I practically begged in the notes to please make sure all the toppings were there BECAUSE of this trend, and yet, sure enough, there were many missing, including all the premium toppings I paid extra for. It's disappointing because I don't know what else as a customer I can do since I can't always go there and watch it being made.

Still, the place is clean, the staff are very friendly, the food is absolutely fire, and portion sizes are massive. I've worked in food and still work in service so I understand mistakes happen, but if the food wasn't 11/10 I might be a little less unforgiving by this point. If you can get pick up, probably best to do so you can make sure it's all there.

It's still an amazing time, so please...

Visited Mehfill Shawarma to pick up dinner one night after work for the first time.

When I arrived I was quickly greeted by Shila and I found him to be very personable and chatted with me beyond the typical discussion you encounter when you visit a fast food restaurant.

Shila took my order and informed me he had a few meals to prepare for some online food orders that came in.

I was fine with waiting and while I did Shila continued to have a conversation with me so it made me feel very welcome.

He made me a generous meal which I've included pictures of. That is a Chicken Shawarma plate and when I was asked what toppings I wanted I said everything.

The to-go tray had a tough time closing it was so packed with food.

Overall the meal was very tasty and the customer service experience was exceptional. I will definitely return...

This place was terrible! I was hoping to finally have a good shawarma place in Bowmanville but this is not it. Ordered 2 chicken shawarma and samosa. The samosa were out of the freezer and into the deep fryer. Went to go eat them and they were cold inside. The toppings for the shawarma were not fresh, lettuce was brown. The lady used the same tongs for everything and the same spoon for all sauces. Was going to dine in but since she didn’t ask and just bagged everything up we decided to make the 3 min drive home. We opened up the shawarma only for both to fall completely apart. I’ve eaten many shawarma and have never had this happen before. Definitely not going back. I will just wait until I’m in Ajax and eat at...
