I’ve lived in Hamilton for 2 years and never tried this place, and boy have I been missing out. I got the mixed meat option which was chicken, lamb, and beef and it was delicious. I personally preferred the lamb/beef. The spicy garlic and hot sauce are so good! I got my food pretty fast (I used the tablets). The workers were also friendly and welcoming :) would definitely go again! Also, the place was super clean!

Tried there burrito it was fulfilling and was more than enough for single serving. The taste was okish as I found it bland whereas they told me it was spicy. Overall, the place is well maintained the staff is corporative and it was a pleasant experience

every detail is thoughtfully curated to delight the senses. The food is bursting with flavor, showcasing the finest ingredients in beautifully crafted dishes. A special shoutout to guy, Sudeep, who went above and beyond to make visit unforgettable. His friendly demeanor, excellent recommendations, and attentiveness truly elevated our meal, adding a personal touch that made us feel genuinely welcomed. Selbys is best🔥🔥🔥

The meat was grilled with plastic wrap still on it for 10 minutes, The plastic would have easily melted into the meat. There was utter mismanagement on Shawarma Day. The sign indicated a wait time of about 50 minutes, but I ended up waiting for over an hour and a half without receiving the food I ordered. There is no option for lamb only; they only offer a mix of lamb and beef, which is cooked right next to the chicken on the same grill. Overall, it was a very bad experience, and I do not plan to visit again.

I've raved about Shelby's since they open and have been a regular customer. The bread is made fresh to order and delicious. It's a chain but the quality was fantastic. Unfortunately it has gone downhill in the last few months. Slow service and small portion sizes. My last visit I recieved the smaller of the 2 bowls despite paying for the larger one. I reached out via email and did not hear back. My most recent visit I ordered a legendary traditional wrap and was extremely disappointed in the portion size. Shelby's has never been the value option, it was the quality that made the difference, but this size is unacceptable for the price. The meat is not as fresh as it was either. I will no longer recommend Shelby's to my friends and family.

Boy oh boy... Where do I even begin? The shawarma—juicy, perfectly seasoned, with just the right balance of tangy sauces and fresh veggies—hits every note. And don't even get me started on the burgers. Thick, juicy patties, nestled between fluffy buns, with toppings that bring everything together like a symphony of flavors. Whether you're craving a wrap or a burger, Shelby's delivers comfort food at its finest.

Came down for a dinner at this Shelby’s location, the food was pretty good but definitely did feel like we were eating at a chain restaurant. The portion size was doable, it got the job done - I opted for the chicken plate which maybe could have had a bit more chicken. I’m a huge fan of the sauces and hummus however, both elevate the plate to another level

I DEFINITELY REGRET WITH THIS PLACE. I regretted as I have been in Hamilton for more than 8 months and I didn’t tried it earlier. Definitely recommend this place and I will continue to visit it in future. Funny part😂: There bill actually consists an agreement that one should not use ketchup on there food.
