Shawarma Tangy and Tasty

Shawarma Tangy and Tasty has earned its reputation as a beloved Guelph institution, where diners consistently praise the warm, family-run atmosphere and owners who remember regulars by name. The star attraction is their unique African-spiced chicken shawarma—a flavorful fusion that stands apart from traditional Middle Eastern versions—alongside crowd-pleasing samosas, falafel, and butter chicken. While some note the beef can be inconsistent and the cozy space fills quickly, most agree the generous portions, reasonable prices, and made-from-scratch quality more than compensate. This downtown gem delivers both memorable hospitality and satisfying meals that keep locals coming back for more.
