Roy’s Restaurant — Restaurant in Lower Sackville

Tonight we wanted to try something different so we went to Shawarma King in Lower Sackville.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was clean and tidy. I thought it was nice that they have authentic food that you can purchase there as well. Kind of like a small convenience store within the restaurant.

I was quite surprised with the menu options they had. We ordered the chicken/beef shawarma plays and a shawarma poutine for my daughter's daughter which she liked.

As always I try to be fair and honest as I can be on my reviews. Personally I found their shawarma to be different than what I am used to. Not that it a bad thing, as the flavor was good. I am not sure but I believe there may be curry in the shawarma as I seemed to get hints of it throughout my meal. I do enjoy a good curry so nothing against curry, but it is not what I have become accustomed to when I order shawarma. I did try my daughter's shawarma poutine which was very good. The fries were wedges that were cooked crispy which is great when your adding cheese and gravy. I couldn't tell but it looked like mozzarella instead of cheese curds but was still good regardless.

On another note they did give a good helping of food, but do have higher prices than we typically spend for similar cuisine.

If I was going to give some recommendations on improvement they would be as follows:

I really missed the garlic sauce with my shawarma plate which typically comes with the meal. If that was included it would be great.

I would recommend fresh made hummus and slightly increasing the amount given. I did not ask if it was fresh but I would guess store bought (I could be wrong on this). I have eaten at another shawarma restaurant that makes theirs from scratch and once you have that, it is hard to go back to store bought. These are small things but add A LOT of value to the price of the meal and would make the price a little more palatable.

Overall I would rate 4 stars due mostly because of the combination of pricing and difference in flavor. At the end of the day I would still return as a customer because I did feel welcomed there and I would like to try some other items on the menu. Thank you for your...

I really had high hopes to try Roy’s, I had only heard great things from family and friends who had been, but our experience was not a great one. Our visit started off on a bad note when one of the servers borderline yelled at me as she was walking behind me as I slightly adjusted in my seat to make sure my jacket was not a tripping hazard. Yes she was behind me, but there was adequate space to move between my seat and the nearest table, but, I chose to move my spot at the table to avoid being scolded again. We did unfortunately have issues with some of the food not being fully cooked (runny egg whites in two dishes), which Roy apologized for and promptly remade the dishes without hesitation, so kudos for that. As our server, who was lovely, asked the rest of us how our meal was while our friends meals were being remade, she was apparently too loud for the other server working as she promptly, and loudly shushed her from across the dining room.

Overall we found the food lacklustre, and had the service experience been different we may have considered coming back and trying items not on the brunch menu, but seeing the attitude of the older of the two servers, all 5 of us left without feeling the need to go back. People have bad days, I can appreciate that, but to take it out on customers and coworkers is not appreciated. I can only hope others can continue to leave the 5 star reviews, but sadly there are 5 families who won’t...

My Mom and I went to Roy's for the first time today and opted for the breakfast. So many options, including fried bologna! Might sound strange that this option made me happy, but, it tells me someone took the time to research maritime food and fried bologna is classic and I've not seen this offered anywhere else. I still went for bacon, lol, but fried bologna next time. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the service was exceptional, the prices were great and we can't wait to go back! I'm not a fan of spice as I'm a spice wimp, but my boyfriend loves it, so we have the perfect place that will offer the best of both worlds. Too many choices to list here, but there is something for everyone. I highly recommend Roy's for a great night out for family, couples or friends. You will not be disappointed!! Thank you, Roy's, for a fabulous dining experience!...
