Every menu item is made fresh and made to be one of the best you've ever tasted. Shelby's is a fast casual shawarma chain born in London, Ontario, on a mission to modernize the shawarma in unspeakable ways while also helping to spread happiness and the appetite for good food and good flavour in communities.
A halal certificate is clearly visible on the premises. From the management: 'Shelby’s proudly serves 100% hand-slaughtered Halal meat at all our locations, ensuring adherence to Islamic dietary laws. We source all of our hand-slaughtered protein options from reputable suppliers from across Ontario.'
I’ve visited this Shelby’s location multiple times, and it has become one of my go-to spots when I’m craving a good shawarma bowl or wrap. The restaurant has a modern, energetic vibe with great wall art and a clean open kitchen. The atmosphere makes dining in here really enjoyable. As a vegetarian, I really appreciate the options they currently offer. The falafel is excellent — crispy, fresh, and very flavorful. I also really enjoy the tikka masala and the Bite the Bowl, both of which are well balanced, filling, and packed with flavor. It’s nice to see quick-service places putting effort into vegetarian-friendly choices. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is always clean and well organized, even when it gets busy. A couple of small things I noticed: Sometimes the food can take a little longer to come out, especially during peak hours, but that’s understandable because this location seems to be quite popular and busy most of the time. Also, I would love to see even more vegetarian options added to the menu in the future. Personally, the only item that didn’t quite work for me was the Zaatar fries with the pomegranate sauce, but that really comes down to personal taste. Overall, this is still a solid 5-star spot with great flavors, a lively atmosphere, and some really good vegetarian choices. Definitely a place I keep coming back to.
