Relish Shawarma

I stopped by Relish Shawarma in Kitchener today and went for their Chicken Shawarma Poutine – what a treat! The chicken was juicy and seasoned beautifully, and the sauce tied everything together with a rich, flavorful kick. The fries were crisp yet soaked up just the right amount of goodness, making each bite a perfect balance of textures and flavors. The portion was generous without being overwhelming. If you’re craving something hearty and full of flavor, this spot won’t disappoint. Best ever in KW I had found though. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Absolutely delicious! The shawarma wrap here is a game-changer – juicy, tender chicken marinated perfectly with those authentic spices, wrapped in a soft pita with fresh veggies, tangy garlic sauce, and a hint of tahini. It's flavorful, not greasy, and the portion is generous for the price. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Highly recommend trying it! Will definitely be back.

Tucked away like a garlicky gem in a pita-lined crown, this little shawarma shop doesn’t just serve wraps—it wraps you up in warm, meaty joy with a side of speedy smiles. The service? Lightning-fast and friendlier than your aunt after two glasses of sangria. We barely had time to blink before the shawarma was served, lovingly assembled by the cheerful girls behind the counter like culinary cupids. My wife—usually the picture of polite conversation—was rendered speechless by her chicken shawarma and poutine fries. The chicken was freshly shaved from the spit, still sizzling with pride, and disappeared into her like a magician’s final act. She came up for air only long enough to declare it “delicious,” which, if you know her, is basically a standing ovation. I went beef, because beefy decisions must be made sometimes, and I was rewarded with tender, juicy slices and just enough spice to whisper sweet nothings to my tastebuds without kicking the door in. The girls behind the counter fixed it just how I like it, as if they’d read my wrap dreams in advance. Now, the poutine. Let's be real—this isn’t Quebec, folks. The fries weren’t fresh-cut, the cheese was cubed not curded, and the gravy had the unmistakable tang of something processed in a distant factory. But was it still scarfed down by my wife with the gusto of a Canadian lumberjack at brunch? Absolutely. And really, are we coming to a shawarma joint for the poutine? No. That’s like going to a barber for a facial peel—wrong mission, right vibe. The dine-in setup is... shall we say, functional. It’s more of a “snack-and-dash” than a “candlelit linger,” but it serves its purpose with utilitarian grace. Final verdict: Not haute cuisine, but hot, quick, tasty, and priced like it’s still 2017. A great example of Indian-style shawarma done right—because when the meat is juicy, the service is snappy, and your wife stops talking to eat, you know you’ve found a winner.

“Just had this chicken shawarma wrap and wow . Juicy chicken, fresh veggies, and that creamy garlic sauce hit differently! Every bite was packed with flavor and super satisfying. Definitely my new go-to comfort food.

If you enjoy a milder shawarma this may be a good choice for you. They have a lightly seasoned long grain rice as well as 3 sauces (spicy mayo, hot sauce, garlic sauce). As per the feedback of a few other reviewers it did taste a bit more like sriracha than some of the hot sauce you may be used to elsewhere; seasoning had a bit of an Indian flair. It was delicious and balanced, but may not be what everyone expects. The highlight of this menu is a lower base price with a few customizable options. You can choose between 3 different sizes and are only charged for the toppings you want to add - this means you aren't paying for extras if you don't want them. The quality of everything was great, and the falafels on this meal were some of the best I've ever had. It was clear the toppings were all cut fresh and rotated properly. This is a great shawarma spot if the seasoning is up your alley.
