I really want to give this place more stars because the food is not too bad, but the service experience is always unpleasant. The older guy who works there (usually take orders) who I think was very rude to me on multiple occasions. Not sure if he's just trying to brand himself as an old friend of customers or just trying to joke around, but his attitude is quite rude and lack of manners as a customer service provider. I don't think I'll be coming back here as my first choice from now on.

Right off the bat, super friendly. Everyone there had a smile which was nice to see after so long. I ordered a big monster plate to go.Food was really good, beef was well seasoned and marinated so it wasn't chewy. Spicy chicken was also well seasoned and tasted great. Last few times I've gone to other shawarma shops I was getting fatty chicken. How is chicken fatty? I don't know, but here it was just pure chicken meat, didn't taste or see any fillers.And of course, the garlic. I wanted a strong garlic and this didn't disappoint. Excellent texture, was well done and they were very generous with it as well.Tabouli was also surprising, it had the perfect texture and lemon/salt/oil ratio and you don't feel like you're choking on a big piece of dry parsley.Only thing I would do differently next time is order extra meat because it was so good it flew off the plate. Wish I'd taken a photo of what the plate looked like before it got eaten because there's nothing left of it now.

(Still) The Best shawarma place I’ve ever tried.The food is perfect. Huge selection of sides, salads. The meats are delightful, and the garlic sauce is by far the best one I’ve ever had. They also have my favourite garlic potatoes and rice.The portions are big which is a huge plus, and for the price it’s definitely worth it. I can get two full meals for myself out of a large platter.The only critique I have is that the chicken is a little dry, but the variety of juicy salads and sauces more than make up for that minimal flaw. 5 stars!

I absolutely love this place and everytime I go in, the food is always perfect.Unfortunately, whenever I order through a delivery service (Skipthedishes, Ubereats) the order is always messed up :( I get my shawarma a very specific way and i’m not sure if they don’t read the order notes but i’ve even put in the notes very clearly what i want. i’ve given them many tries but unfortunately i will not order delivery anymore as it’s not enjoyable :( if you’re going to order, go in!

Thank you garlic king for your amazing food and your hard work prepping with long hours even after your closed, your foods amazing and I see your fixing up the place , that won’t stop me from buying food from you, amazing work keep it up. I am long time customer and nobody delivers to me I drive everytime because I don’t like my food soggy. Fresh as fresh can be

I met the guy 8 or 9 years ago one night trying his place. The place was nice (different location), and guy was very passionate of his business and his city. Food was fantastic.Fast-Forward 8 or 9 years, I give it a go again.Location was not as nice. Inside looked like a construction site. The staff were odd to say the least. Unprofessional, yes. Food was nothing like it was. Garlic was still more than decent, but the rest of it really fell flat_Did see the crown van again.

Best Shawarma in town!! Always great service and fresh food. They have a great designated area for Gluten Free options which is great for someone Celiac or gluten intolerant. Great for all the family with a big variety and portion are generous. Oh and the garlic sauce is so tasty!! Definitely worth the drive there.

Ordering from the staff at this location was somehow even better than the food, and the food was Fantastic. Shout out to Dave and Hyatt for the pleasant experience. See you guys soon.

Honestly, I was disappointed when skip the dishes canceled my order.So I went directly to the restaurant to order the same thing lol.They were so kind and the service was great.The food is so delightful and delicious! MiammNext time, I won't use skip the dishes and I'll just go directly

Very good food! Celiac safe including separate workstations, separate toppings and gluten free pita and desserts! Met the king he is very kind and welcoming. We will be back for sure-your friends from Montreal
