Honestly I had no idea that some people made their shwarma with Fries. Where I'm from, it is made with mostly spicy chicken and some vegetables like onions but there are less vegetables when compared to other countries
Thank you for the review, we will fix the bread issue soon. To everyone in the comments, There is no war between us and Shelby’s 😂. We are all working to increase awareness for Shawarmas. We respect all other players in the market. Our focus is our customers and our product and we will always be improving both. Hope to collab with you soon Bilal ❤
Recently tried out both. Shelby's bread was amazing and beats out Tahini's, but both places had great chicken and veggies. I recommend the Jerk Chicken Shawarma at Tahini's, the sauce was great. Shelby's gets a 9/10, and Tahini's gets an 8.7/10. Wish they had locations in Mississauga, theres too many shitty shawarma spots here right now, and too many disappointing meals almost killed my appetite for shawarma in general. Its great seeing these new guys set a new standard for quality.
In my country there is no tahini’s or Shelby’s, there is only baba rafi’s shawarma place 😭 I mean they taste good but I wanna taste or try tahinis or shelbys 😖😖
I tried Shelby's the other day for the first time, got the Bacon Halloumi Shawarma Wrap. Omg it was BEYOND, amazing. Gully, you should do more food reviews!
Thanks for your video.. Every day, I learn about new shawarma places. So far, Yassen and Aljazeera are at my top list, but i'm still interested in trying other spots. I never considered Lazeez and Osmou's as an authentic shawarma spots. it's a Frenchise business chains mainly target customers with minimum experience of middle eastern food. And that's not any different than staff working behind the counter. Mostly international students and sometimes vegetarians too. That could be ok but not for me when it comes to find well balanced tasty shawarma wrap 😊 i will try to get to those couple of stores you mentioned.. thanks
@@urekmazino5125 will never understand it. ketchup always overpowers the shawarma thats why its not good for it. garlic sauce or tzatziki is all you need. plus with some hot sauce
@@talal3c people who put ketchup on their shawarma should be shipped to a remote island together with people who likes pineapple on their pizza and people who eat steak well done☠️☠️☠️
In Turkey chicken and meat wraps like these are served mostly with seasoned onions, tomatoes, parsley and sumac. We call it Tablacı salad and it’s wonderful with wraps like these.
I'm from middle east I just traveled to Canada for me tahinis is a bit better cuz the thin chicken is better than big chunk it doesn't overpower ur shawarma and there pickles are so good the wrap is tight and good same for Shelly's but there pickles are alot salty wich may overpower the shawarma the friez are fresh but the taste of it i feel it more in my mouth and for the spice levels tahinis hot sauce is really good and spicy doesn't overpower the shawarma and gives really good taste for Shellby the hot suace is good but I think tahinis like a bit better they're both really good restraunts to eat from tahinis has more shawarmas and food like Jamaican jerk shawarma or Habibi bowel they create food Shellbys has food but not that much well I like Shellbys and tahinis both are rlly good restaurants and I think they will improve more.

Without watching the full video, I’m going to guess you picked Shelby’s because they make that wrap fresh with Saj. They also use fresh fries instead of French fries which makes a huge difference. The sbicey garlic also pairs well with the bomagranite molasses for that sweet taste. You also can’t forgot the getchup and the bepsi.

While their shawarma's look kinda identical,their marketing are literally the complete opposite of each other and I just love that Tahini's shorts are more calm and cheesy and shelby's is just plain chaos
The most delicious, authentic chicken Shawarma that I have ever had was at Noor's Shawarma and Variety, London, Ontario. The ingredients were fresh, and the Fatoush salad was delicious. Long live Middle Eastern foods!
Chicken, pickles and toum is what an authentic shawarma is. I love the new mixes and how everyone changes upon shawarma but every restaurant should provide the authentic experience first
@@awsan111it also depends which country you’re having it from. Lebanese differs from Syrian which differs from Egyptian which differs from Turkish. Each country has their own variation which uses different ingredients.
So I finally found the right shelbys in canada, and I can 100% confirm that shelby's has the best tasting shawarma in the west. They were not exaggerating that its za best in za west
I've tried both, I can confirm that Shelby's is better. Tahini's is better for someone that likes a soft juicy wrap, while Shelby's gets the delicious charred bread and authentic shawarma flavour.
I'd eat at shelby's simply because of the name but the shawarma looks grilled to perfection, and secondly I've seen a couple of videos and the owner looks like chill guy who really likes feeding people his food rather than tahini's where even if the CEO is a chill guy, i have no clue what he looks like. Shelby's is doing some real nice marketing i won't lie
Damn I wish both of these guys would open up places in the Eastern section of US.. I've been seeing both their foods so much on the net lately and both looks absolutely great and delicious! Pls at least one of you guys open a place in a tri state area preferably plz plz.. or at least close by reasonable driving distance 😅😅😅
Both are very good actually, wouldnt call one better than the other at this point considering the quality, but one thing that really bothers me is how Shelbys uses sriracha as their hot sauce lol 1. Sriracha is asian and goes on asian food best, the flavor profile is bad on shawarmas. 2. Normally they should use a richer hot sauce like a harissa type sauce that blends in better with the meat and tahini. The sriracha is the lazy choice but everything else about Shelby's is good. Hope they come up with their own in-house hot sauce soon ! As for Tahini's i wasn't a fan of the parsley but everything else was good. Here in Montreal we got Boustan which is the only "decent" shawarma joint since Amir is basically garbage and Basha is ghetto tier and both really went downhill in the last 10 years.
@@Egg-um Part of Russia is in asia, therefore it’s an asian country. You see the intellectual shortcut ? Middle eastern food has it’s own identity and is arabic, turkish and persian food for the most part. Asian food (REAL asian food not a fucking geographical definition) has it’s own identity too.
@@magellan8232 but the middle east is in asia so it is REAL asian food. india is in asia so it's REAL asian food. the food that is from asian russia is REAL asian food 😊😊

Maybe it's because Shelby's in Canada... I remembered from their channel, they had something called shawarma poutine(?)
@@dana_0612no, chicken shawarma traditionally has fries in it in many places , poutine being popular in Canada isn’t the reason for them having fries
It's very common thing to do in Lebanon.
here in malaysia, arabs make shawarma with fries too
Classic combo

Finally, the battle at the final first quarter of this year. Let’s see how it goes 😂
I always questioned who is better but I never got to try any of them, good thing you tried it!
Chicken, pickles and toum is what an authentic shawarma is.
I love the new mixes and how everyone changes upon shawarma but every restaurant should provide the authentic experience first
I think that is a variant. Isn't the authentic shawarma made out of lamb meat?
@@Edwinschuur Both are authentic.
The meat variant of shawarma should be with tahini and onions with parsley.
@@awsan111it also depends which country you’re having it from. Lebanese differs from Syrian which differs from Egyptian which differs from Turkish. Each country has their own variation which uses different ingredients.
Lets be honest, we need a collab with the two restaurants. And never forget za bebsi.
Shelby's always on top. Remember friends if it's not tight it's not right
*And remember kidz never put za ketchup in shawarma. Zon't ruin za tradition* 🗿
You should definitely try the Jamaican jerk shawarma at tahinis, many recommend it.
I feepm like these two shawarma company should not be judged with each other, they should be collabed with each other
