Review Neighbour Shawarma And Subs - Hamilton

Excellent generous quantity of chicken ordered large chicken shawarma salad and was not disappointed with the sauce size and chicken quantity. They did miss the seasoned onions so one star less for missing their own order std instructions. I usually love their chicken rice items with the seasoned onions. Great !

review date: january 24, 2022 2nd review date: march 27, 2022 customer purchase date: january 24, 2022, march 27, 2022 neighbour shawarma (NS) caught my attention by happenstance, when i was looking at a google review of another shawarma place. 👀 upon looking the reviews, i decided to make a move during a snowstorm. NS is located on upper ottawa b/w mohawk and limeridge. their menu is straightforward - meat offerings are chicken and gyros with rice or on a pita. no beef options. a few salads and a bit of canadian food. upon arrival, the store was clean and bright, nice presentation of LED tv's for the menu, and the 2 staff workers on hand were warm and welcoming. the store became busy after i arrived, yet the workers did a good job of keeping it moving, getting orders punched in and filled out. i picked up a large chicken and rice, and a chicken shawarma pita. all-in was $27.95. do understand that NS has different sized servings for many of their items, to appeal to different needs and budgets. the prices that NS charges are very commensurate with the portion servings, they do give you a lot of food relative to what you are paying. imo the best bang-for-the-buck item is the chicken shawarma pita. the large chicken/rice: -had a bit of a greasy aftertaste but i would buy it again. -chicken provided was a good portion relative to the rice portion. -large size gets you a huge amount; the food is jam-packed in the container. this can easily be split into 2 servings and each split serve would leave you full, if not satisfied. -be advised that toppings (vegetables) are extra charge of 95c. -comes with a large naan bread to ensure there is no doubt you won't be starving after finishing this rice dinner. -rice was fresh and of proper texture. the chicken pita: -was very good. the vegetables tasted as if they just came from the garden. very fresh, and full of flavor. -good amount of chicken provided. -the garlic sauce is fine, not the best but not the worst either. -the seasoned onions and red sauce were excellent. -beautiful naan bread that the store bakes daily. -pita sandwich can get a bit sloppy when eating, so i would advise, not to eat it in a car. every day, NS has a special where they knock off a bit of $$ of the price of the selected item. march 27, 2022: NS continues to do all the wonderful things described from the 1st review. friendly staff, efficient with getting orders taken care of. these folks are not shy with piling on paid additional toppings for chicken and rice meal, which was much better than the 1st visit. the chicken wrap is a fantastic value relative to what you pay and get, and compared to what is available in the market. dialy, fresh baked nann bread, fresh vegetables and good quality chicken...overall, it was a good business decision for me to have come up the mountain to visit NS. 😁 bottom line: the store is out of my way as i live downtown. however on occasion, i would return to NS to purchase their food again. i would recommend NS to others also. the sheer amount of positive reviews are well-earned. they do chicken right. 👍

I really enjoyed this shawarma; this is saying something since I havent had a truly enjoyable shawarma in a long time. Good quantity of food, not overly messy, flavours on point. I love pickled turnips and they were plentiful 🤤 with just the right amount of hot sauce I was content. The reason I didnt give a 5 star was because I found some of the chicken to be a little dry. Also ordered chicken fingers which I would likely not get again - regardless, Ill be back!

We ordered the dinner for 3 combo and it's more like dinner for 5. It is such a great deal and the portions are huge. They pack the containers and load you up with sauce. I didn't have to ask for anything extra. One container is a shawarma poutine, the other is the shawarma rice and the third is the salad. All dishes were full of flavor and the meat was tender and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Great job!!! I'll be back very soon!

This place has been my favourite for years. Got a chicken & rice combo & it was amazing. So big I just finished the leftovers for lunch today. The veggies are so fresh in the salad (& plentiful & cut in a good size). The meat is tender & soo flavourful, nicely spiced. The seasoned onions here are my favourite. Can’t forget the fresh & perfectly chewy pita, the texture compliments everything so well. I like to mix the salad with my chicken & rice & use the pita to scoop up bites 😇 10/10

Huge portions!! HUGE PORTIONS!! Great service by the ladies working here! Food was tasty, we got the gyro plate, gyro wrap, shawarma plate and a chicken with fries.

Delicious dinner, thank you so much everything was spot on, definitely recommend

First time having the chicken shawarma and rice. Got the small, definitely filling, if I wanted to be greedy I could have gotten the regular. BEST shawarma I've ever had. Chicken was moist and flavorful, the rice was perfect and plenty of delicious white sauce. Highly recommend this place and will go back again and again.

There’s a good reason there’s always a lineup at this place and that’s the food. It’s really good and the portions are very generous. The staff are friendly and efficient in a way that should be taught at all restaurants. The Shawarma and rice are my favourite but the Shawarma Poutine is epic according to my son, who introduced me to this hidddn gem. Get extra white sauce. It’s soooo good.

Best shawarma in town. The staff and owner are friendly. Love love the shawarma rice!! �

Amazing shwarma poutine, rice and salad. Best on the mountain. Highly recommended :)

We had food catered for our party. Chicken kebabs, different flavors of rice, shawarma poutine, naan. Everyone loved it. An abundance of Delicious, warm and fresh food at very reasonable price! Thank you neighbor shawarma

Open late and even at 9 at night it was super fresh. It was our first time there and we will definitely be back. Really polite people and good service. Our meal was really good and they even gave me a generous sample to take home. It was nice to feel like they really valued and wanted me as a returning customer,most pleased!

Great food and wonderful customer service.I come here at least once a week and believe they are the BEST in Hammertown!! My bf and I usually come together he swears by these guys too! Ill be on my way shortly actually. ..lol

Some of the nicest people and greatest food! You have to try them out!

Great place..haven't disliked a single meal yet .

Tonight I had a shawarma and fatoush salad for my dinner. Delicious and I have some for tomorrow!

Amazing food! Great portions! Excellent service!

As a PREVIOUS REGULAR customer to this establishment, I AM BAFFLED by the HORRIBLE customer service I have received for the past 3 times I have gone to eat there!! It has been from a woman employee, and she has been a nightmare! She will not accommodate vegetarians who go there to try to eat the pizza (she would not exchange chicken on it for falafel...even when we asked to PAY EXTRA for it, even if she just gave it to us on the side since she thought it was hilarious that we would ask for it to be actually ON THE PIZZA...a side note: falafel is CHEAPER than the chicken, so I don't see why this is such an insane request????) She wouldn't take our money even when we were trying to give it to her for this request. Ridiculous. SO, that being said, I returned reluctantly again today for a falafel pita, and she gave attitude for no reason from the beginning of the order. She proceeded to ask me if I wanted: tomato, lettuce, and onions, I said yes please, then she added the falafel and asked if I wanted to white and hot sauces, I said yes please. Then before she moved to the far end where the pickles, turnips, etc were, she started closing the pita like it was done and so I POLITELY asked, "Oh sorry, can I actually get turnip on that as well please?" (thinking she just forgot to go to the far end) and then she said VERY RUDELY that I should have asked her for that before and she rolled her eyes and mumbled more words, and treated me like I was being a horrible annoyance to her! THE NERVE!??! I then told her that it would be my LAST TIME coming there, she lost a very good customer due to her being SO RUDE MULTIPLE TIMES. If you plan on eating here, watch out for this woman. If it is any of the men, they have been nothing but very nice and pleasant, but I am done supporting this place due to this one very BAD APPLE. I plan on telling the men what has happened if I ever see them around there, as I live just down the street. Good luck if you have to deal with her. End rant. - A very disappointed EX-CUSTOMER.
