Shelby's Legendary Shawarma - Kanata

Shelby's Legendary Shawarma in Ottawa delivers a distinctive fusion experience that divides opinion among shawarma enthusiasts. Regulars rave about the freshly baked saj bread, tender chicken shawarma, and loaded Shelby wraps featuring fries, pickles, and flavorful sauces. The modern atmosphere and friendly staff, particularly servers like Tarun and Gurjant, receive consistent praise for creating a welcoming vibe. However, some diners encounter inconsistent portion sizes and occasional greasiness, while others note this isn't traditional Lebanese shawarma but rather a unique Pakistani-influenced interpretation. Despite occasional long wait times during peak hours, most agree it's worth trying for those seeking something different from Ottawa's classic shawarma scene.
