Summary: 

Depending on where in Montreal you order it you will have to ask for
it with a different name!  The following are not definitions, but the
result of inductive learning that allowed me to get about what I wanted
most of the time :-)

Souvlaki:         meat grilled on a stick
Souflaki in pita: as described in first message, but with (strong) onions.
Doner:            same as souflaki in pita, but the meat (sometimes lamb)
                  is cut from a big roasted piece of meat
Shawarma:         Same as doner, lebanese style (the first "a" is silent).
                  Sometimes, however, served on a plate instead of in a pita

Pita is the greek name for what is otherwise know as syrian or lebanese
bread. It is a round bread cooked without whey, which forms a pouch when
opened at one end, and can be stuffed with rice and chicken or tuna chunks
to introduce variety in your sandwich diet.
