Value

Shawarma Empire is a no-frills strip-mall shawarma shop on Lawrence Avenue East in Scarborough. blogTO ranked it third in its guide to the best shawarma in Toronto, and it often has a line.

The shawarma

The menu is focused on chicken and beef shawarma, served in a pita or on a plate. blogTO's tip: get it in a pita if you plan to eat in the car, since there is little room to sit.

Good to know

blogTO notes it is cash only, so bring cash.
Pickup and delivery are available through online ordering platforms.
Two other Scarborough favorites, Sumaq Iraqi Charcoal Grill and Johnny's Shawarma, are a short drive away.
