“Today, I went to Jerusalem Shawarma in Southwest Edmonton with my family. In addition to the delicious food, I want to highlight the excellent customer service provided by Fatih, whose kind smile and warm welcome, along with complimentary tea and baklava, made our experience even more enjoyable. I also want to thank the kind and friendly young woman who took our order. I highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely return to enjoy their delicious food and the respectful, warm hospitality of the staff.“

“Amazing food, delicious and fresh. Great service, all the best guys.“

“The kebab was juicy, tender, and cooked just right. The rice was good but needed a little butter, so I asked for some. The yogurt was creamy and tasty. The Sofran ice cream wasn't exactly like traditional Persian ice cream, but it was still pretty good. The vibe was nice, and the place felt warm and welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try more, especially the shawarma and the lamb kebab.“

“Yesterday my husband and I were looking for a great shawarma place and unexpectedly found a hidden gem - Osmow's.

It’s a small, cozy cafe with such a warm and welcoming vibe. The food honestly impressed me: fresh, clean, and perfectly balanced. My shawarma was packed with chicken and vegetables, and I loved that it wasn’t overloaded with heavy sauces it felt light but still very satisfying as I am on Keto Diet, which they offer options for it.

You can really taste the quality and care in what they serve. It’s rare to find a place that makes shawarma feel both delicious and not heavy at the same time.

We loved it so much that we came back again today and it was just as good. Definitely a spot we’ll keep coming back to!“

“Amazing pizza! Delicious and fresh, quality ingredients. Both the regular and gluten free pizzas were amazing!“

“I can't say enough about the quality of food but the quality of service goes above and beyond anywhere I have honestly experienced anywhere I've been in the world. I've never experienced such a sense of community as of 87 Pizza & Donair. I will forever be a customer and avid supporter. Keep doing what you are doing 🫶👏👏“

“This is hands down the most underrated restaurant in all of Edmonton. Everything about the food was absolutely delicious and the service was just filled with pure kindness. I really appreciated every aspect and if I could choose only one restaurant to eat from in Edmonton , I would choose this one ! I recommend everyone too come try food from here at least once in your life“

“Very fresh food and outstanding customer service by the team at Top Donair & Pizza. Definitely recommend this store especially for the Bangladeshi community in Edmonton. While everyone thrives to be good, this store goes an extra mile to give a commendable experience to its customers. A 10/10 experience overall! ⭐️“

“Wonderful People, Wonderful Food! Everyone that works there are great, very helpful and super friendly. I can't say enough about what they are doing there. The pies, pizza, hummus, cheese, olives, freshly baked pitas and torpedo shaped iraqi bread are all amazing.“

“Sahara is genuinely one of the BEST restaurants in Edmonton. Every visit has been consistently excellent throughout my years of visiting, and the quality of the food never disappoints. My favorites are the muhammara, tabbouleh, kibbeh, and the mixed grills, but honestly, everything I’ve tried here has been delicious.

A special thank
you to Rana for her kindness and outstanding service. She was friendly, attentive, and made our visit even more enjoyable.

What keeps me coming back is that Sahara gets everything right: amazing food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. After trying many restaurants across Edmonton, this remains one of my top favorites and a place I recommend without hesitation. Looking forward to my next visit! 😊✨“

“I would recommend everything but what I love most is the lamb shawarma wrap and chicken on a salad . Foods are truly mouth watering ..“

“Ordered from here on Skip for the first time. Got the Chicken Shawarma with Fattoush salad. The thing was massive and sooo good. Would highly recommend trying this place out!“

“This restaurant has become one of my absolute favorites over the past 5 months. I’ve been here several times, and each visit has been just as good as the last. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, which makes every meal enjoyable and memorable.

What really makes the experience stand out is the staff and service. Everyone is warm, welcoming, and attentive, creating a comfortable atmosphere where you truly feel valued as a customer. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, both in the kitchen and on the floor.

The consistency here is outstanding—whether dining in or taking out, I’ve always had a positive experience. For anyone looking for a spot with amazing fresh food, friendly service, and a great overall vibe, I highly recommend this place!“

“Food was hot very taste cooked to perfection highly recommended lots of toppings“

“An excellent restaurant on the Southside of Edmonton. There is a sit down restaurant area, a takeaway counter and a small middle Eastern grocery section. The store is immaculate and the food is excellent. The place is casual and the staff are not as polished as some places but they are very friendly.

The chicken shawarma wrap was very good. A good ratio of meat to veggies, a delicious sweet sauce and fresh pita. I've tried chicken shawarma in multiple locations and restaurants throughout Edmonton and I would rank this one in the top 3. The platters were generous in portion and tasted great! Fresh bread accomplices the dips. The falafel is perfect, crop on the outside tender interior. You got to try this gem!“

“This is honestly our new favorite spot for shawarma. My partner and I have been looking for a good shawarma place that is close by and this is it. The wraps and their on the rocks are delicious. Of course my go to is always the beef shawarma wrap and their beef on the rocks. It’s fast food/fast casual chain but it’s a hearty meal and you can never go wrong :)“

“This is a great place for lunch. Big helpings of good food, and with a huge variety of fresh of veggies, if that's what you choose. The right balance between tasty and healthy. The new owners are super nice.“

“We decided to order here after reading the reviews and it did not disappoint! Bursting with flavour, everything absolutely delicious and generous portions of everything served hot and fast. The donair meat here is seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. There are lots of places that serve Donairs in Edmonton, but not many do it this good!“

“While the rice could be improved, the koobideh was excellent and pleasantly light, without the greasy taste often found in similar kebabs elsewhere. The Shirazi salad was decent, and the marinated olives were exceptional, with a nicely balanced sour flavor.“

“Osmow’s Shawarma is one of the best fast-food spots around. The chicken shawarma is always fresh, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, with sauces that are flavorful without being overpowering. The quality and consistency make every visit satisfying, no matter how busy it gets.

What really makes this location stand out is the customer service. There is a guy named smit who works there, and he is truly the best employee. He is always polite, welcoming, and pays close attention to every order. His positive attitude and professionalism make the whole place feel more inviting.

Even during rush hours, he stays calm and efficient, making sure everyone leaves happy. Employees like him are the reason people come back again and again, not just for the food but for the great experience. Highly recommend this Osmow’s for both amazing shawarma and outstanding service! 🌯🔥“
