What a lovely place. Most of our food was extremely spicy but it was still veryy delicious. They saw that it was too spicy for us and gave us two free cheesecake slices!That was so sweet of them. They were really, really nice and accommodating. Food was great, prices were decent, service was great, they had seating outside. If we're ever back in kingston, we'll pay another visit.

I had a great experience at Dr. Shawarma! I ordered the mango lassi and the vegetable biryani, and both were absolutely delicious. The mango lassi was super refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness.The vegetable biryani was flavourful, perfectly spiced, and came in a generous portion. The staff was friendly his name is (Deep) and the service was quick. Definitely coming back again!

This place was much needed after our Quebec trip. We stopped here on our way from Quebec to Whitby for dinner. It was a quick detour on 401.At 11 pm on Sunday I found the location very happening with nearby lit patios crowded with people. The place was busy with people and incoming orders.We had:1. Chicken Biryani2. Shahi Paneer with rice3. Daal Makhani with rice4. Falafal plateEverything freshly made in front of us, spice level customised as per choice and super delicious. After eating non desi food for 3 days, this food was much needed and was worth the detour.Thank you team for serving us this delicious food, all the best..!

After trying most of the shawarma/Middle Eastern places in Kingston I would say Dr. Shawarma is the best. The quality of the ingredients, portions, and flavour is fantastic (falafels are hand-shaped and fried fresh - and NOT dry) , and the passion of the owner to provide a good food experience is evident. Will be going back!

Amazing food. When they say spicy Chicken biryani, they mean SPICY! I LOVE it. I'm from the GTA and this is easily one of the best places I've been at.

Very nice food and serviceThe lamb shawarma wrap is awesome!That’s the lamb I love(Next time I will not order banana pepper again, that tastes like pickles which ruined everything)

Had low expectations for authentic Indian/Pakistani food in kingston. Saw this shop in downtown and ordered some beef paya with biryani today. It was exceptionally good, the masala mixture was on point and tasted great with the bread Naan.
