Took the family to try Schwarma Trap tonight. We got 4 Chicken schwarma plates and they were so delicious! Everyone was happy and so super full. Service was great and it was very clean inside. Can't wait to go back and try something else!

A Hidden Gem! I stumbled into Shawarma Trap by accident just to grab a drink, and I’m so glad I did. The place is spotless — super clean, tidy, and welcoming the second you walk in. The staff are incredibly pleasant, personal, and genuinely kind. I ended up trying the shawarma poutine and a baklava dessert, and both were absolutely delicious. The portions are generous, the presentation is on point, and the prices are very reasonable. This is definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to. If you haven’t tried Shawarma Trap yet, do yourself a favour and check it out — it’s a total win.

Good place for shawarma and quick bites. The fries were nice and crispy, and both the paneer and chicken rice bowls tasted really good. Must try!

Shawarma heaven right here! Tried both the shawarma wrap and the shawarma bowl — and wow, both were delicious The wrap was soft, warm, and packed with juicy chicken, fresh veggies, and those perfect sauces that hit every note — creamy, tangy, and a little spicy. Total comfort food! The shawarma plate was just as good — super fresh salad base, loaded with chicken, flavoured rice, crunchy fried onions, and all those sauces mixed together… every bite was a flavor bomb Honestly, can’t pick a favorite — both hit differently but equally delicious. Definitely coming back for more!
