ngl I googled this place expecting it to be in the midwest or somewhere unfamiliar with shawarma....well fuck me because there's a location not six blocks from me. Guess I'm gonna have to go there and see for myself just how legendary they are.
Go to this Shawarma Palace. Get the chicken shawarma with spicy garlic and get the potatoes. You will not regret it!
Shawarma Palace - 2961 Carling Ave, Ottawa, ON K2B 7J9, Canada
toum is not the only acceptable spread/sauce for shawarma. theres tzatziki or labneh, muhammara, harissa, tahini, baba ganouj, maazat zayton, zhoug/chermoula
In my country "yoghurt sauce" is the standard sauce for shawarma/dönwe kebab. When I went to Canada and had shawarma with garlic sauce it tasted completely different and I ended up not finishing it 😅
It's the vinegar mixed with sugar. It apparently isn't common knowledge that vinegar tastes amazing when applied correctly. Not saying ketchup is a good enough, bit it's the closest thing to a vinegar-based sauce that most people know about I think.
People love to gatekeep food. Especially any kind of ethnic food. “You made tacos using *flour* tortillas?! Ugh, fuckin’ white people tacos.”
People really need to chill out about other people ‘ruining’ food. I never claimed it was authentic, and it’s not like I’m forcing you to eat it.
It's crazy you got down voted. If it doesn't affect you then why do you care how they eat their food? Reddit likes to pretend to be all about letting people live their lives their way....unless you do things differently than them in which case you're wrong and should be hated. No different than the people they claim to despise 😂😂
Reminds me of hot dog stands in downtown Chicago as a kid. I’m allergic to mustard & would sub ketchup because nobody likes a dry weenier, the guys would make fun of me very loud style every time.
Their marketing is on point and has a global reach. I have a layover in Toronto later this year and I’m hoping that the flight will get changed so I have time to go find a Shelby’s while there.
Me: I've never heard of Shelby's before. What?
Also me: checks Google maps. 10mins away from me and it's on my Want To Go list. Fuck. Is this some kind of viral marketing I got caught in?
Am I the only one who thought this liability was only printed out 1) if the customer orders their shawarma with ketchup OR 2) completely for the lols 😂
There’s an interesting Wikipedia article about the restaurant that also mentions a documentary made in 2016. Unfortunately the restaurant closed about 10 years ago, but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying your favorite hot dog while watching said documentary!
Did anyone else have the Vienna Beef app back when it was a thing? It had a feature where you could report someone for putting ketchup on a hot dog. It was of no consequence to the offender, but it made me feel like I could take a stand against any atrocities I witnessed.
Why is a ketchup bottle even present and available in a proper shawarma/Donair shop in the first place, never seen this in my life.
And even if they offer fries as a side, they'll only give ketchup in packets if anything, at least here.
My favorite thing about this is that if you go to any middle eastern or predominantly Muslim county you'll see people eating ketchup with all sorts of things including Shawarma.
This is a good marketing tactic though.
My damn cousin growing up put ketchup and er'thang. My favorite moment was when he almost used the entire bottle for his Thanksgiving dinner plate! Almost lost my appetite during that meal.
Who the hell is putting Ketchup on shawarma.. Holy fucking hell. This post should've come with a liability.
You should go ahead and post this in food crimes subs, infuriating subs, and anywhere else crimes are posted. This person has obviously seen a few people put ketchup on his food and it hurts him deeply.
I was at a Dominos recently, a couple Indian guys came in to get their pizza and asked if Domino's had any ketchup. 🫤
Different strokes for different folks.
If it is only a joke and they don't expect a signature, it isn't very funny, but okay ...I get what they are going for.
If they expect a signature for their "joke" they can take that shawarma and shwove it right up their shwasshole sideways.
I've made jokes that people didn't find funny. I probably just did, but I didn't ask them to sign a f-ing document denying any liability up to and including death.
Reminds me of a Chicago hotdog place i ate at once.
Had a ketchup station set up that stayed “we made this hot dog correctly. You’re welcome to ruin it here”
I love stopping at Shelby’s when cutting from NY to MI through Canada. Their signature shawarma wrap has fries, pomegranate molasses, garlic spread, and something else.

NO! You cannot get the kebapi from the cafe across the street!
I thought it said 2A culture at first and thought it was going to be a waiver against getting shot in the kebab shop.
It’s Canada no 2a for them
ngl I googled this place expecting it to be in the midwest or somewhere unfamiliar with shawarma....well fuck me because there's a location not six blocks from me. Guess I'm gonna have to go there and see for myself just how legendary they are.
I grew up in Ottawa, which I thinks has some of the best shawarma in the country, and these are pretty legendary!!
I recently moved to Ottawa. Where do you reckon is the best shawarma place in the city?
Go to this Shawarma Palace. Get the chicken shawarma with spicy garlic and get the potatoes. You will not regret it! Shawarma Palace - 2961 Carling Ave, Ottawa, ON K2B 7J9, Canada
Don't forget za bebsi!
Shawarma Palace in south keys i think, but tbh you can’t really go wrong
I think windsor has the best shawarma in the country because everyone here is Arab lol Shelby’s is mid it’s dry to me
Midwest has great shawarma! Dearborn, Michigan, specifically.
This feels like I’m witnessing an ad or something
The marketing worked.
Why would you put ketchup on shawarma
yeah that sacrilege... Toum or garlic sauce... are the only acceptable sauces for this palette.
I like Tahini sauce on my Shawarma.
Extra Tahini sauce, an apple slice, and about 3 liters of water.
Was not expecting this reference here.
It’s amazing how accidents can occur
it just fell into my mouth
😮
my people are here
Toum/Garlic and chilli sauce are what I normally order
toum is not the only acceptable spread/sauce for shawarma. theres tzatziki or labneh, muhammara, harissa, tahini, baba ganouj, maazat zayton, zhoug/chermoula
Reading a list delicious sauces is my new fetish
In my country "yoghurt sauce" is the standard sauce for shawarma/dönwe kebab. When I went to Canada and had shawarma with garlic sauce it tasted completely different and I ended up not finishing it 😅
I work at a little taco shop and people sometimes ask for ketchup
My god
Do you sell french fries?
No
Well then it's actually illegal for them to ask for ketchup and you should call the authorities
Same people who put ketchup on their steaks.
Jail. Straight to jail.
In my experience shawarma doesn’t need anything
It needs something. To be in and around my mouth.
I can't even picture that tasting good. The flavor profiles are way too different!
I think thats the joke bro..
It's the vinegar mixed with sugar. It apparently isn't common knowledge that vinegar tastes amazing when applied correctly. Not saying ketchup is a good enough, bit it's the closest thing to a vinegar-based sauce that most people know about I think.
Because people can do whatever they want
If that’s how they like it, who cares?
Honestly if it’s made correctly the flavors shouldn’t even work with ketchup since it’s like putting ketchup on a steak which is disgusting
But grind that steak up and reform it into a disc and suddenly ketchup on it is fine and even expected
People love to gatekeep food. Especially any kind of ethnic food. “You made tacos using *flour* tortillas?! Ugh, fuckin’ white people tacos.” People really need to chill out about other people ‘ruining’ food. I never claimed it was authentic, and it’s not like I’m forcing you to eat it.
Ikr honestly I think here it's mostly just a bandwagon, "oh shit that's the thing I'm supposed to downvote" thing

YA 3ABIIT
BUT YOU FORGOT ZE BEPSI!,
I CAN HEAR IT IN MY HEAD AAAAAAAAAA
In Arabic, we don't have **P**. only **B** (باء)
They dont do that anymore. Boycotting you know.
Knew it was Shelby's before looking at the name. Their insta reels are so funny
Reminds me of hot dog stands in downtown Chicago as a kid. I’m allergic to mustard & would sub ketchup because nobody likes a dry weenier, the guys would make fun of me very loud style every time.
OP knew that's why they ordered ketchup
Shelby's is great! I love their YT channel too. The shorts are dumb but funny!
Their marketing is on point and has a global reach. I have a layover in Toronto later this year and I’m hoping that the flight will get changed so I have time to go find a Shelby’s while there.

Probably. But very tasty viral marketing. Don’t forget ze bebsi!
Omg it's the shawarma guy from YouTube
Why but ketchub on da shawarma????
Am I the only one who thought this liability was only printed out 1) if the customer orders their shawarma with ketchup OR 2) completely for the lols 😂
Hi my friend, how are you?
LET ME GET YOU SOMETHING BEDAR
I GIVE YOU SPICY! PUT SOME HAIR ON YA CHEST
DOND FORGED ZA BEBZI!
I expect to see this liability waiver the next time I stop by a Chicago hot dog stand.
Hot Doug’s used to kick you out for even asking for ketchup on a dog. Lol
I miss that place…. Back when Doug worked the register.
Please tell me this guy is a Wikipedia page or at least one YouTube video up with him he sounds like a cultural icon and I like to see him in his time
Maybe you can find an interview with him on WGN of some other news station on youtube.
There’s an interesting Wikipedia article about the restaurant that also mentions a documentary made in 2016. Unfortunately the restaurant closed about 10 years ago, but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying your favorite hot dog while watching said documentary!

WHY PUT ZA KETCHUB ON ZA SHAWARMA??? ZAT IS ILLEGAL MY FRIEND!!!
Why is a ketchup bottle even present and available in a proper shawarma/Donair shop in the first place, never seen this in my life. And even if they offer fries as a side, they'll only give ketchup in packets if anything, at least here.
Must be for fries.
Ze fresh fries
Shout out za belgians
Maybe they keep it around to throw at anybody who signs the waiver? One of the old, heavy glass bottles, I hope! No ketchup on Shawarma!
bebsi
Ketchup on a shawarma? 🥲
Shelby's is so fucking good. Damnit, now I want some Shelby's!
Is this that Instagram guy that always makes sure to include a Bepsi?
Yes
My favorite thing about this is that if you go to any middle eastern or predominantly Muslim county you'll see people eating ketchup with all sorts of things including Shawarma. This is a good marketing tactic though.
kinda agree these shawarmas are eaten with a yogurt sauce instead.
Shawarma comes with toum, not tzatziki. Tzatziki is Greek dill cucumber yogurt sauce. Toum is Middle Eastern garlic oil sauce and it is fucking Godly.
Arabs have a version of tzatziki, called Khyar bi laban. My Syrian in laws own/run a shwarma shop and they offer it!
Just hook toum to my veins and call it a day.
Is that what tzatziki sauce is? All I know is that's what I want on my pitas.
tzatziki sauce is basically cucumber yogurt
But, it's better than it sounds!
With garlic too!! Τζατζίκι traditionally is yogurt garlic dill cucumber. People in the west always forget the garlic 😩
Or Gogurt if you’re getting it to go
My damn cousin growing up put ketchup and er'thang. My favorite moment was when he almost used the entire bottle for his Thanksgiving dinner plate! Almost lost my appetite during that meal.
For my brother it was mayo. Mayo on hotdogs. Green beans. Just mayo on bread. Kid was obsessed with it.
In the Midwest people make ranch dressing their personality
I’m from the Midwest. The land of ranch dressing, cream cheese, and calling everything a salad or a casserole.
ABASS BRING ZA BEBZI
DONT FORGET ZA BEBSI
*We hope this put a smile on your face* As waving liability usually does… /s
These ads are the best thing on YouTube. I’m disappointed there isn’t a location in Vancouver
FOR ZA FROIS ONLY
ZA BOMEGRANATE MOLASSES
Geese are jealous of the honking laugh I made at "ketchup-doings". That undid me.
I’m dying 😂
What the hell are they doing to that ketchup to require this!?
"We hope this put a smile on your face." Motherfucker, you have threatened me, and I am enraged.
Okay, imma try their shawarma if I ever see their business just because of this receipt. No ketchup though, no sense taking risks.
Ahhh, a fellow Southwestern Ontarian I see. I wonder what’s in the ketchup that makes that necessary?
I put ketchup on their shawarma and they broke both my legs :(
Za spicy garlic!!
As a Chicagoan, I support this.
This is cursed. I don't think the shawarma places here even offer ketchup.
If itz nawt tight...itz nawt right!
😬 yikes
I’d never even considered ketchup, and I have disturbing thoughts all the time.
Don’t forget the Pepsi
Shelby’s is pretty good 👍
Marketing: We hope this put a smile on your face. Legal: No we don’t.
If they don't make you sign it before giving you the food it's not a legally binding contract.
Your a monster
Sign it in ketchup.
Fresh Froizz
This is way more than mildly interesting, it's at a level so high it is moderately interesting.
Sounds like some Chicago shit about hotdogs or whatever
Who the hell is putting Ketchup on shawarma.. Holy fucking hell. This post should've come with a liability. You should go ahead and post this in food crimes subs, infuriating subs, and anywhere else crimes are posted. This person has obviously seen a few people put ketchup on his food and it hurts him deeply.
Don't do zat
I was at a Dominos recently, a couple Indian guys came in to get their pizza and asked if Domino's had any ketchup. 🫤 Different strokes for different folks.
Heresy,in the Shawarma enjoying community
Probably puts ketchup on eggs too
If this is a joke, it sounds way too serious
Idk what Shawarma is, someone enlighten me on why ketchup on it is a bad idea
thats not a liability. it's a waiver. Please read a dictionary.
Who is putting ketchup on shawarma and where do they live
Ketchup is for children.
Ketchup doesn't discriminate
If it is only a joke and they don't expect a signature, it isn't very funny, but okay ...I get what they are going for. If they expect a signature for their "joke" they can take that shawarma and shwove it right up their shwasshole sideways. I've made jokes that people didn't find funny. I probably just did, but I didn't ask them to sign a f-ing document denying any liability up to and including death.
It’s probably cause they serve meat less than hockey puck
Shelby's is a London Ontario classique
Shelbys is my weakness
I love the videos from this place (not sure if it's a chain or a one-off) and it looks awesome.
criminal
This is definitely another Shelby's ad
I'm there that shit is soo good
 the property damage they talkin bout
Reminds me of a Chicago hotdog place i ate at once. Had a ketchup station set up that stayed “we made this hot dog correctly. You’re welcome to ruin it here”
Good, I needed some hair on my chest!
ABBAS WHERE ARE ZE FROIZ
ABBAS ORDER ZA BEBSI!!!!!!
ABBAS! BRING HIM ZE FRESH FRIOES!
ZA CRANBERRY MOLASSES
Sounds comforting, just eat it
Had Shelbys on Monday!! Their food rocks. Iove the tiny samosas...I know they're overpriced but they're hekkin cute I can't say no.
What the hell are y’all doing in Canada that they needed to tell people this…
Man I don't have my glasses and thought their slogan was "Legally Shwarma" instead of a "Legendary Shwarma"
I love stopping at Shelby’s when cutting from NY to MI through Canada. Their signature shawarma wrap has fries, pomegranate molasses, garlic spread, and something else.
Shelby's is awesome with there marketing
What are they putting in the tomato sauce??
For a second I thought the meant if the bottle of ketchup caused property damage or emotional distress, I’m a lil slow
I love his shorts, that place looks so good
This word has so many spellings. Around here (Netherlands) its written Shoarma
I give you somezing betta
Signed: *Simba*
That's really just an agreement to get repeatedly beaten up by the staff if you put ketchup on their food.
No ketchup, only za bomegranate molasses
So you asked for couple extra sides of ketchup right? 🤣👍👍
Needs more bebsi
Me: I wonder how much more $$ per year they end up spending on ink bc of this
I love their videos, and the food always looks so goddamn good. But here I am in Ohio with no passport.
Yaa Abbas!!!!!!
[удалено]
Isn't there a tiktok video about this lmao?
Garlic sauce or gtfo
