Shelby’s Shawarma – Talbot Village

Every menu item is made fresh and made to be 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.

Yazan and Yasser, two friends who met at college. One of them was business obsessed — couldn’t talk about anything else. And the other could not stop cooking for everyone. Both had Middle Eastern roots as well as a passion for their authentic food. The two boys started selling mom’s recipe of traditional chicken shawarma from a dingy little food trailer in Lambeth, Ontario. A much bigger idea clicked a year after — they needed to bring something different to the local market using this fantastic shawarma recipe. A legendary approach to traditional Arabian food was being developed, whereby alluring Arabian flavour is met with other world cuisines to create something that is both unique and down right delicious — the best of both worlds you could say.
