Jordan's Shawarma - Markham

The food at this restaurant is fantastic! I tried the chicken shawarma fries bowl and it was perfect in terms of texture, flavor, and smell. I can't speak for the other items on the menu, but this dish is a must-try. Nada, who served me, was very friendly. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant at least once a week.

I adore this place. If I could, I would give them more stars. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. The food is consistently excellent. The falafels are perfectly crispy on the outside and moist inside. It's definitely worth the journey from Cambridge even though I no longer live in the area.

Amazing shawarma!! Very clean, filling and large portion and the staff working here are amazing! Family owned and feels like food your mom would make at home! Highly recommended!

Got takeout about a week ago: two chicken shawarma wraps (both massive and enough for two people) and a lamb souvlaki rice bowl. Both were yummy and really filling will be back to try the falafel! Great service.

After reading the reviews I decided to try this place against my better judgement as I've never had any luck with good sharwama. I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl and chicken sharwama sandwich (more like a wrap . Plenty of chicken provided in both food items, wrap was toasted in a panani press which gave the wrap a nice crunch. Should have asked for extra dressing as after a couple of bites the wrap/chicken was quite dry flavorless. Chicken for the wrap was taken from a plastic container (who knows how long the chicken pieces were sitting in that container whereas the chicken for the bowl was sliced off directly from a rotating skewer containing the large chicken meat pieces. The downfall of both items and previous sharwamas I've had is the chicken is always overcooked, flavorless and dry (so dry it almost had a powdery texture and disintegrated on your tongue as you bit into the chicken meat This place was no exception. Compare this with chicken meat from Mary Brown's (moist, tender and you will see/taste the huge difference. Luckily the sharwama bowl and wrap was mixed with rice, salad and dressing (ask for extra dressing! which somewhat compensated for the dryness and lack of flavor of the chicken meat. Maybe I caught them on a bad day as the chicken is definitely not moist as described in previous reviews or my benchmark for properly cooked chicken is too high. Also the lady behind the counter never smiled during the entire process of accepting and preparing my food order. Chicken shawarma may be a viable delicious food option for some people but this a hard pass for me.
