Introduced in 1995, Johnny’s Shawarma is a quick service Middle Eastern restaurant in Scarborough known for its ‘Addiction Guaranteed’ promise and authentic flavours rooted in the culinary traditions of the Levant, the region along the eastern Mediterranean coast of Western Asia. Founded by husband-and-wife team Johnny and Ani Iskandar, the eatery features classic shawarma wraps, grilled kebabs, falafel, and hearty dinner plates. The menu includes marinated chicken and beef shawarma, vegetarian and vegan options, and a variety of sides and salads, all prepared with fresh ingredients and signature sauces. With a proven operating model, the company is now exploring expansion options across the GTA and has retained Beverly Wilson at Value Insight Realty to handle its site selection. Suited for highly visible streetfront retail locations, power centres, and high-traffic urban location, Johnny’s Shawarma is targeting locations in the 800 to 2000 square foot range, initially targeting the Toronto, Ajax, Pickering, Scarborough, Mississauga, North York, Markham and Whitby markets. Its proven model makes Johnny’s Shawarma well-suited for streetfront retail, power centres, and high-traffic urban locations, supporting continued, disciplined expansion across Ontario.
