  During school Mozy's was always the place for late night munchies and I have always remembered it as my favourite shawarma place. 3 years after graduation, I paid another visit to Waterloo and decided to try Mozy's again to see how it stacks up to GTA shawarma.
  
  You order at the cashier and are able to watch as your shawarma is put together. I usually get the regular chicken shawarma in a pita and it costs around $10 after tax. The service is always quick and the verdict is... Mozy's is just as delicious as I remembered it! Definitely holds true as one of the best Shawarma I have ever had in Canada. They give a generous serving of moist and flavourful chicken balanced with a perfect amount of veggies and garlic sauce. The thin and crispy pita wraps it together beautifully.
  
  I have seen many restaurants in the King and University plaza come and go and I really really hope that Mozy will be there forever.

  It was a late night and I wanted a quick dinner, so I swang by to pick up a falafel shawarma. I ordered mine without pickles. Some people like a lot of sauce, but I prefer less (unless it's hot sauce!) There was too much garlic sauce for my liking that it overpowered the rest of the flavours in the shawarma. This was the same case for my previous visit when I tried the chicken shawarma. The falafel tasted pretty average. I think it would have tasted better if the pita was toasted longer. Service was fast and friendly though. Portions are also huge - one wrap lasted me two meals! Maybe I'm just spoiled from all the good shawarmas in Scarbs, so Mozys didn't hit the spot for me. If you're looking for a quick, filling meal and you're a fan of lots of sauce, I'd say it doesn't hurt to try this place out!

  Food is good, quality and quantity has gone down a little since I first came to Waterloo (2014) but the chicken is still good. It's usually really fast but it can get busy especially around lunch and dinner. Can't really make any comments on service since there isn't any table service but none of the staff are particularly friendly, they're just there to do their job so I have no complaints. The owner/manager is a little rude though, witnessed him yelling at an employee for not speaking loud enough. Having worked in the service industry as a student, I felt for the guy and it is the difference between a 3 and 4 star review.

  Coming from the Middle East I wasn't impressed by it but it did taste good. I ordered a chicken shawarma platter. The chicken is good. The veggies and fries with garlic sauce is good. The pita on the other hand was stale. Unsure if it's made in house or commercial bought. The price is appropriate to portion size. I would eat here again when I'm craving a shawarma. However, there is another shawarma place in Toronto that tastes close to home. The service was good and parking space is decent. Being in the hub of students I think it's easily accessible for anyone.

  Best Shawarma in Waterloo! The shawarma plate with rice is my go to! Lots of meat on top of half a container of rice and the other half of veggies plus a grilled pita on top.
  
  The garlic sauce is amazing! I even order extra on top of my rice plus extra hot sauce!
  
  They now also have an online ordering system to help skip the wait!
  
  Check it out! You won't regret it!
