There is plenty of seating, including a long table for a larger group, and a bar height table with 5 chairs. The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful, even suggesting I order a combo plate to save money. I ordered a plate of chicken shawarma with rice, and a fatoush salad. I started with the fatoush. It was easily the best fatoush I’ve had in years. It was fresh, the flavours were incredible, and the presentation was excellent. The portions were extremely generous. I was full after only eating the fatoush. The rice was so flavourful, and the chicken was outstanding. The hummus and garlic sauce were equally amazing. It’s obvious that Mashawi’s takes great pride in their food, and deservedly so. The service was also impressive, but not at all intrusive. Everything was perfect, but considering the attention I was given after having been served, I have no doubt that had anything required attention, it would’ve been resolved with efficiency and courtesy. I ended up packing half of my meal as take out, so I will be able to enjoy eating the leftovers at home. I even received a complimentary tea to finish my meal. Don’t miss out...this is the best Shawarma restaurant I’ve ever found in any city (including Ottawa and Montreal). Apologies for the photo of the meal. I forgot to take the photo before I started eating.

Also, my wife wanted to order the Lentil Soup later, and she actually got it for free! About the food, I highly believe that this was one of the best wraps I had in Waterloo, the bread was very fresh. The fries were awesome, crispy at the outside and moist in the inside. We got to taste 2 different kinds of Salads which was also the courtesy of great customer service. Its surely a go-again restaurant for me.
