Went here with my friends and had heard it was one of the best shawarma's in the GTA from family members. My real rating would be 4.5/5. We ordered the mixed family platter and the chicken on stones: Pros: The food here is authentic, the garlic sauce does not contain mayo or sugar like many places. The rice was flavourful and had long separate grains. The shawarma holds itself well, and uses the basic authentic toppings. The beef and chicken were tender and not dry. The fries were crispy. The prices were also very fair, our total bill with 15% tip came out to be around $100 for 4 people. We were not able to finish all the food and took left overs home. Cons: I told the cashier that we would be dinning-in, but we still received our food in take out containers. Me and my friends thought the food was lacking spiciness. The shawarma wraps did not have any hot sauce. Our chicken on stones also did not have any hot sauces. The cashier did not ask us about our spice preferences. The fries did not seemed to be seasoned much. These are easy to fix and would have increased my rating to 5/5.

Mediocre at best! I had high expectation for this shawarma restaurant. The reviews are very high and my family/friends highly recommended it. So I decided to try for myself. The restaurant was packed with customers. I ordered Chicken On The Stones which is basically chicken/beef shawarma on rice with garlic sauce. The picture I uploaded to this review does not look appetizing. I tried it and blah was the first thing on my mind. It was regular, bland and nothing to write home about or even recommend it. The garlic sauce was ok, the chicken/beef was less than average and the rice was boring. I was very disappointed. I will never try this place again but I cannot say don't go there since the average rating is so high so there must be something to it I guess. My recommendation is to skip this shawarma restaurant, there are so many other better places to go especially in Lawrence/Pharmacy area. This shawarma was bad. I wish the owners all the best and hope they improve their product in future. Good luck.

The shawarma taste is very good. Comparable to the other two similar type shawarma shops (Original and Zaeem). I loved that Yaseen's is less oily than both of them which earned them a healthier star. However, what I ordered was the family meal and I was a little bit disappointed because compared to others who have the same type of family boxes, Yaseen's was the least value for money, I noticed there is much less meat in the shawarma bites and TOO much french fries while you pay for the same price as others, and that's where they lost one star from the review. They seriously need to consider adding more meat for the family boxes. In conclusion, being the least oily of the three competitors, Yaseen's will be my go-to shawarma place when I just want to have a sandwich on the go. But if I want to order a meal, I am for sure going to one of the other two shawarma shops as I will get more value for the dollar.

The taste was good! However I have to admit, I noticed big decrease in the amount of shawarma slices & portion (check the photo, it seems like I ordered bunch of fries with a bit of Shawarma🤣🤣🤣! Meanwhile, it suppose to be big family size shawarma)! And the food was not served or placed in the pan in a way to attract your appetite! When I opened the food, it felt like they just thrown the lil piece of shawarma into the pan without giving enough care to make it look good in the clients eyes! I’ve tried the shawarma family plate back in 2022,! The taste was really good & the portion was appropriate to the price back then! I went to try it again a few days ago, the I am really disappointed, and caused me so much damage! I paid way too much to get that type of service! I hope someone in charge read this honest review and take care of it

This place is near me so I decided to give it a try. As someone who loves shawarmas wraps and with many of them located all over Canada, it’s tough sometimes to differentiate between a typical wrap and a very good one. This is one of the very good wraps in my opinion. I came in and ordered a Saj chicken wrap with fries. It was mildly busy but workers in the back worked quick, got my food in minutes after placing my order. The chicken was extremely tender and the pink sauce is one of the best sauces I’ve ever had. It all went well together and the portions were generous even filling me up and I have a big appetite. Might be one of the best, if not the best shawarma places in Mississauga and I have been to dozens of them around here. A must try if you are a fan of shawarma and live in Mississauga.

Yaseens has been a regular destination for really really good shawarma. The staff is friendly, courteous and attentive to ensure you get your order on time. The meat is piled high on the rotating skewers and is always cut fresh to order. Never pre-cut and sitting in a container. You see the juices and the freshness always. I ordered their chicken shawarma family platter. I was NOT disappointed. The taste was amazing, the fries crisp, the extra chicken on top, and the added bonus during Ramadan - chicken fingers and samosas. I always add to the family platter a side of their rice. Smells amazing, tastes fresh and the hint of cinnamon completes the platter. I would highly recommend this restaurant and its a hidden gem.
