What User likes about Shawarma Star:
Fantastic food. I'm a big Shawarma fan, so I'm glad that's a nice independent, family-run place in the area. The food tasted great, the employee was nice, and the prices were justified for the portion sizes. We have the chicken-shawarma plate and really enjoyed it. Will definitely come back to try the packs and other menu items. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Shawarma Star:
I stopped here for lunch today and asked for half rice half salad with my chicken, they said they usually don't offer half/half, but made it for me anyway what was nice! I love shawarma and can certainly appreciate the flavors, but this time the spices had much too much clover (or perhaps star anise? it was almost bitter, and definitely overwhelming.

Always I have a tasty shawarma there. No skin no fat with the chicken like other stores. I like the arabic and turkish music they have.

Chicken on Rocks promises a unique dining experience with its flavorful shawarma offerings and friendly service. Diners rave about the freshness of the ingredients and the generous portions, making it a popular spot for shawarma enthusiasts. Many commend the attentive staff, particularly Mirna, whose exceptional service leaves a lasting impression. While some guests expressed disappointment with spice levels in certain dishes, the overall consensus highlights the restaurant's charm and quality. Whether indulging in a hearty platter or savoring homemade sauces, this independent, family-run establishment is quickly becoming a beloved gem in the community.

Friendly, clean, fresh ingredients, big portions... rice. Chicken Shawarma Platter was 2 years ago $13, now it's $17 HST. You decide if it's worth it.
