Shawarma Alley Guelph — Restaurant in Guelph

I've had pleasant times at Shawarma Alley the Harry Potter decor inspired shawarma spot tucked away in downtown Guelph on Macdonnell St.

The food pn my visits and orders have always been delicious and well portioned. It's good shawarma though perhaps not like other places you're used to but I approve personally.

There's a good selection of meals to try and vegetarian friendly dishes not so much vegan friendly but it's not trying to be is it.

Honourable side/snack mentions would be their fries and baklava oh my goodness.

The spot is quite modest space wise it's not the largest but the space is well utilised and clean. Staff has been kind on my visits and generous dealing out portions.

Shawarma Alley's Harry Potter-esque design of the store is "wicked" I'm sure the magic community appreciate it and most likely you'll be able to sit in and eat without issue if you want. Usually very quiet between orders and pickups.

If you're looking for a big order for a family/group they have plenty specialty/platter deals on the menu you just don't see much these days. Nice to see.

You'll find weekly deals available to dine-in or takeout and if you order for delivery I believe the usual places like uber eats and door dash usually offer the occasional BOGO free deal worth taking advantage of at times too.

I can only speak on my experience but I'm happy to visit and order again. I've had pleasant times at Shawarma Alley the Harry Potter decor inspired shawarma spot tucked away in downtown Guelph on Macdonnell St.

Worst shawarma I have ever had.

I came in and asked for a chicken shawarma plate and was met with a confused look. I had to explain that I was looking for chicken shawarma on rice, with sauces and a side salad (a pretty standard option at a shawarma place). After describing what I wanted I was still met with a confused looked and was told sure, I guess you can have a salad too if you want. I was thrown off by the confusion and once again explained what I wanted, they nodded and did there thing.

The first thing I noticed that was off when receiving my order was the box was a narrow, single compartment take out box rather than a typical three compartment box where your hot rice and chicken would be in the large spot and your cold salad and maybe some hummus would be in the other two separated smaller areas.

When I got home and opened it, I was met with a monstrosity of both the rice and salad mixed together all covered in garlic and hot sauce.

The rice was overcooked, bland and cold. The chicken was cold and probably quite old and the salad was just drenched in garlic and hot sauce.

I was hungry after a late soccer game and just wanted something to fill me and this was truly disappointing.

Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else if...

Extremely Disappointing … (1) I ordered a beef Swarma; and I did not smell any beef in it (2) One half of the Swarma was cold and the other part was little warm ! (3) while making the Swarma I noticed the staff was smelling the ingredients (may be he was checking if the ingredients were rotten or not) with his nose almost into there!!! (4) they keep cooked things in fridge and warm up those once an order is received. Does not serve freshly cooked. (5) most terrible drama is .. this restaurant has dine in facility but does not have a wash room; you cannot do number one or number two .. and you cannot wash hands. (6) It’s extremely impractical.. may be they have chosen me to tell that they did not have any washroom. BUT I have almost spent 16 dollars ( sixteen) ! I am not sure for what extent of spending you willl be allowed to use the...
