Why Neighbour Shawarma is a Hamilton Favourite

Neighbour Shawarma has earned its place as a must-visit eatery thanks to our dedication to quality, authenticity, and variety. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch or planning a hearty family dinner, our menu offers something for everyone.

Fresh, Daily-Prepared Ingredients

Every morning, we prepare our meats, vegetables, sauces, and sides from scratch to ensure maximum freshness and flavor. By avoiding pre-packaged shortcuts, we deliver food that’s as vibrant and wholesome as it is delicious.

Authentic Recipes with a Local Twist

Our dishes are rooted in time-honored Middle Eastern recipes passed down through generations, but we’re not afraid to adapt to local tastes. This fusion of authenticity and creativity makes every bite both familiar and exciting.

Something for Every Taste – Meat Lovers to Veggie Fans

From juicy, slow-cooked meats to crispy falafel and fresh salads, our menu caters to a wide range of tastes and dietary preferences. Whether you’re a devoted carnivore or a dedicated vegetarian, you’ll find plenty to love.

Chicken Shawarma – The Classic Favourite

The chicken shawarma is our signature dish and a customer favorite for good reason. With its savory aroma and tender, flavorful meat, it’s a meal that satisfies every time.

Slow-Roasted Perfection

Our chicken is marinated in a carefully balanced blend of spices and slow-roasted on a vertical rotisserie. This method locks in moisture while creating the slightly crispy edges that shawarma lovers crave.

Signature Spices & Marinade

The marinade features a mix of garlic, cumin, paprika, and other hand-selected spices. Each bite delivers a perfect harmony of warmth, depth, and just the right amount of kick.

Served in Wraps, Plates, or Salads

Whether you prefer the convenience of a wrap, the fullness of a plate, or the lightness of a salad, our chicken shawarma adapts to your mood and appetite.

Shawarma Poutine – Canadian Comfort Meets Middle Eastern Flavor

This indulgent creation is where two worlds collide — and the results are mouthwatering. Shawarma poutine has become a fan favorite for those who like their comfort food with a flavorful twist.

Golden Fries, Cheese Curds & Savory Shawarma

We start with a base of crispy golden fries, add squeaky cheese curds, and top it with tender, spiced shawarma meat. It’s a hearty, satisfying dish perfect for treating yourself.

House-Made Garlic & Tahini Drizzle

To finish, we drizzle our signature garlic sauce and creamy tahini over the top. This combination ties together the savory, salty, and creamy elements for a truly unique bite.

Perfect for Sharing (or Not!)

While our shawarma poutine is generous enough to share, many customers find it too good to give away. It’s comfort food worth keeping all to yourself.

Gyro Wrap – A Flavour-Packed Alternative

For those who want something different from the classic shawarma, our gyro wrap offers another mouthwatering option.

Tender Slices of Spiced Meat

Our gyro meat is seasoned with a special blend of herbs and spices, then sliced thin for maximum tenderness and flavor.

Topped with Crisp Veggies & Creamy Sauce

We pair the gyro meat with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and a generous layer of creamy tzatziki sauce. Each bite is a refreshing mix of textures and tastes.

Ideal for a Grab-and-Go Lunch

Wrapped tightly for convenience, our gyro wrap is perfect for busy Hamilton locals looking for a quick, satisfying meal on the move.

Falafel – A Vegetarian Superstar

Falafel is proof that vegetarian dishes can be just as filling and flavorful as their meaty counterparts.

Crispy Outside, Soft Inside

We fry our falafel until golden and crispy on the outside while keeping the inside fluffy and moist. This contrast in textures is what makes great falafel irresistible.

Made Fresh from Chickpeas & Herbs

Our falafel mixture is made from scratch using chickpeas, fresh herbs, garlic, and spices, creating a wholesome, protein-rich bite.

Delicious in Wraps or Platters

Enjoy falafel tucked into a warm pita with vegetables and sauce, or as part of a platter with hummus, salad, and rice for a complete meal.

Shawarma Rice Plate – A Complete Meal

When you’re looking for something hearty and balanced, our shawarma rice plate delivers.

Fluffy Rice, Protein of Choice, Fresh Sides

We start with a base of fluffy seasoned rice, add your choice of protein, and round it out with fresh sides like salad, pickles, and sauce.

This plate offers a balanced mix of carbs, protein, and vegetables, making it both satisfying and nourishing.
