First time grabbing a Shawarma at the establishment. The gentleman that helped us (possibly the owner), was a very kind person. The food is absolutely incredible. He packed it full of chicken and overloaded the fries for our child. Definitely worthy of the five stars.

Generous portions. I had the chicken with rice today and it was really good. Reasonable prices and the gentleman who prepared my order was really nice. He said it was "made with love". Definitely ordering again.

This is hands down, the BEST shawarma joint in Ontario! I drive the hour from Guelph to eat here! If you're on your way to the cottage on Lake Huron make this stop a priority, you will not be disappointed!!

Ended up temporarily snowed in to this small town of Palmerston for a few hours waiting for snow squalls to subside. Seemingly a very friendly town, as was evident from my experiences had in several stores visited while killing time. Ended up eating at Minto Shawarma and I am very happy that I did. I love shawarma, and I am fussy. Okay, I am pretty demanding actually. So... Ahmed does have his own personal touch on his homemade sauces (which he is proud of). As mentioned in other reviews he takes a bar b q style sauce approach and at first I was like "what's this?" and the unexpected flavour did first hit me as different, but a bite or two in I realized this is really delicious! Funny how something unexpected or different can garner less positive reviews. I assure you, in fact, this variation of sauce warrants your culinary investigation into this Westernized variant of a middle east staple. The salad ingredients were fresh and the generous portion of meat and sauces was satisfying. The meat (I had a mix of both beef and chicken) and they were fresh and delicious as well. I ate every last morsel of my left overs once I got safely home. Hey you, review reader, I challenge you to check out the pictures I took of my food and not salivate! Ahmed is a very pleasant, friendly and generous man. It was enjoyable listening to his banter with his local regulars. Thank you sir, for taking time to show me some different routes I could take to get back home. I will certainly stop in again if my path goes anywhere near to your town, would love to have my family try your food (I didn't even think to share my leftovers!!). - Kevin

I order take-out last night & I had to come back to leave a review! There was a little hiccup with the order & I appreciated getting a phone call for clarification. The delivery was a little longer than expected but it was understandable for a Friday night. The quality was on point & it was great value for how much food we received. I’ll definitely be back!
