“A small grocery shop with a nice seating arrangements where you can grab a quick bite of shawarma. The ambiance is cozy, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely meal too. The menu boasts an array of authentic Lebanese dishes that are both flavorful and reasonably priced. Meat was a bit too salty though.For those intending to explore the grocery, always check the expiry dates of the products: in several cases I found food items that were well beyond their expiry dates.Nevertheless, whether you're a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or just looking to explore something new, this little neighborhood spot is worth a visit.“
“Laziz broast inn road is the best food . Oh my god I have never experienced in ottawa in any halal restaurants .the service is wonderful. special owner is so kind and friendly. Definitely I'm going to recommend my family members and friends to come and enjoy the tandoori kabab . So yummy ? ? ?“
“When it comes to the age old question of who makes the best burger, many burger-oriented restaurants and chains are quick to jump to the assertion that they make the best burger.In my experience and opinion in having tried a variety from the smallest to the largest burger establishments in the Ottawa area, I could not wait to try Burgers & Shakes Inc when I came across it.Beginning with the atmosphere. I am aware there is another location in Barrhaven but my review is concentrated to this location in Manotick. The location does not look like much on the surface or even inside the establishment. You could drive past this place without giving it a second thought had it not been for the large signs placed at the entrance of the main gate to the parking lot. The inside is of contemporary design but is rather small.However, where the place may lack in aesthetic makes up for in food. The first thing I smelt as I parked the car was the burgers being made inside this establishment. A crucial element and one that made me wanting to try here even more desirable.As I entered, it was not particularly busy so I got to order right away. The menu had a variety of options while being straight forward and not overbearing. Options are great but too many make it complex to manage and difficult for the consumer to know what to choose. There are 9 burgers total. Four of which are purely beef. Two are chicken, one is vegetarian, one is haddock and one is a mix of beef and chicken called "Mega Burger."I decided to order the 12oz "Big Double Burger" with all the toppings and a poutine as a side with a Coca Cola.As a note, the service was good. Hospitable staff made for a family friendly environment.A point of criticism, I was not pleased to know that after I had ordered, that cheese is not included as a topping that almost all other establishments I attended used as a topping at no extra charge.No matter, I'll let the burger speak for itself. When it was ready, I was eager to try. Presentation 3.9/5. Being that it is a large burger with all the toppings it does make things a little messy if you are not careful in the assembly process. The toppings were fresh and beyond my expectations. The side order of poutine was good. Good amount of cheese and gravy. The fries were crisp and cooked well. Although, the true winner in this whole meal is the quality and taste of the beef. It is by far one of the best burgers I could have ordered. Very pleased and left satisfied.So this brings us to the end and back to the question I began with. Who makes the best burger? In the context of Ottawa and the area I think it is fair to contend that Burgers & Shakes Inc make the best burger.Overall: 4.5/5 - I highly recommend.“
“We went there today for my friend’s birthday and oops I forgot to tell the waiter is was her birthday!!! The waiter was super friendly and the food was delicious. The whole ambience with the Spanish music was perfect. I highly recommend this place you won’t regret it.“
“Absolutely amazing little Shawarma place. Me and my girlfriend visited, and we were greeted with a free sample of the lentil soup which was fantastic. Food portions are very big and the chicken shawarma and potatoes was very tasty. Highly recommend!“
“Made my boss take me here for lunch based off the reviews. I had the omelet with steak and cheese since I missed breakfast then got the lebneh to go. Very good quality food and affordable. The steak was cooked perfectly, well everything was cooked perfectly to be honest. Would definitely come back whenever in the area.“
“If you’re Algerian and looking for the right place to take you back to Dzair (Algeria), THIS IS IT.If you’re not Algerian and want to immerse in Algerian culture; food and decoration, THIS PLACE IS IT.On both occasions I've dined at Idriss Mediterranean, I've been consistently IMPRESSED by the exceptional food quality and mouthwatering flavors, the heartfelt welcome from the staff, the spotless cleanliness, the fast service, and the inviting ambiance that embraces you as soon as you walk in. The enchanting decor, reminiscent of home, adds an extra layer of charm to the whole experience.Additionally, they offer outdoor seating perfect for enjoying the spring and summer seasons.IM DEFINITELY COMING BACK AND BRINGING EVERYBODY I KNOW.“
“Amazing place for authentic Iraqi food in Ottawa! The place is a family owned business and it shows. The staff was incredibly friendly and hospitable and made the entire experience so pleasant.We ordered samich masgoof (BBQ Fish) and it was soooo good. We also got rice, home made bread, pickles, and the beef spring rolls which were all delicious.We will definitely be ordering again in the future!!“
“This place is truly amazing. The cocktails are so good. If you want something different, they can also create a cocktail just for you. The mixologists are always on point. We always enjoy having some cheese and charcuterie. I had the best sourdough cracker there - like, the best ever.“
“We ordered Tawouk and beef shawarma. My son wolfed down the tawouk sandwich before I could taste it. My beef shawarma was not too greasy and the flavour was well balanced in my opinion. My wife had fattouche (a salad), she loved the freshness of the ingredients and it was very filling. We would definitely go back and try other things from the menu. I am eye-ing on the Grilled chicken avocado, a lady ordered it while I was there and it looked delish. The staff was professional and friendly.Vegetarian options: The salad option are available and some sandwichesParking: not much parking but at least 3 cars parking was available on site.“
“We came in around 5:30 on a Saturday after an event at Lansdowne. We were greeted in a friendly manner and brought to the lovely window table. Food was excellent! Diavolo pizza was the highlight, although it was a little soggy (maybe a bit too much chili honey?) Also had the arancini and topped it all off with a delicious tiramisu and (decaf) americano.Only complaint was service was a little slow, possibly understaffed?Strongly recommend to anyone in the area who is tired of the usual Lansdowne fare!“
“It's so refreshing to go to a small place and have such cheerful, helpful and warm people greeting. We will return just for the hospitality but we certainly enjoyed our meals too.Vegetarian options: The menu is mostly vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: One in our party had special dietary restrictions and the staff were able to accommodate them perfectly“
“You need to go here. Visited Ottawa this weekend and found Oh My Grill one night for dinner. Every single bite was perfection. Everything was flavourful and seasoned. The chicken was tender and of good quality. The garlic sauce, omg, so good. The hummus. The potato's bursting with flavour. I almost went back the next day for lunch.If you are in Ottawa though and looking for a good meal you will not be disappointed.The guy at the counter was friendly as well. I highly recommend this spot. With each bite I was like "damn" so go good.“
“Amazing food, 10/10 experience. The guy working the shawarma station is very patient and explained everything to me in great detail when I wasn’t sure what to order. The beef shawarma is very tasty and flavorful. The garlic potatoes are cooked perfectly and were even better with paired with the garlic sauce. I would 1000% be coming back with family and friends knowing they would enjoy the food and the atmosphere like me.“
“We went on a Sunday morning and had a great time! My friend showed up just after 9.30am and got the last 3-person table without having to wait. The space is fairly small and there are often lines outside.We got mimosas, crispy cigars, shakshukas (mine had feta), the classic breakfast, and ashta pancakes. I didn't have coffee, but others said it wasn't very strong.Crispy cigars were delicious - delicately crispy outside and creamy inside, with a refreshing dip. I've never had a shakshuka before and found it tasty, especially with the bread, though it was more soup-y than I expected. The pancakes were also great, with a flowery cream on top.Would go back just for the crispy cigars! (In fact strongly considering just grabbing an order of those for takeout the next time I pass by.)“
“Ordered through a delivery service. Got to eat it almost 2hrs later due to work, but OMG, it was still sooooo goooooood. Ordered the 2 for 1 shawarma platter and everything was so fresh and delicious. Adding this to my Friday Greek food rotation now….“
“Our experience at this restaurant was highlighted by its enchanting ambiance and an eclectic menu that promised culinary delights. Although we encountered a slight mishap with our order, the staff's prompt and sincere handling of the situation was noteworthy. Each dish that arrived at our table was a masterpiece, blending flavors and aesthetics with skill. Despite the initial oversight, the quality of our meal and the attentive service ensured our eagerness to return.“
“First time at the Restaurant, had Trofí cater an event and that was fantastic, but dinner last night on Somerset was a great experience, Thx to Ali and Nick.The food was incredible, a restaurant that really pays attention to detail. C u soon and thx for the great service last night.Phil & Joanne.“
“La Joie Shawarma is an absolute gem in the area! I've tried several shawarma spots in the area, but none compare to the incredible experience I had here. The owners are genuinely kind and caring, making every visit feel like a warm welcome.Even during busy times, waiting in line is a breeze because the deliciousness that awaits is beyond worth it! And let me tell you about their spicy garlic option—it's a game-changer! I'm usually not one to go for the extra kick, but trust me, their spicy garlic sauce is a must-try!My go-to order is the Large Mix Trio, and it never disappoints. The beef and chicken are bursting with flavor, the veggies are always fresh, and the potatoes are perfectly cooked—never greasy, always satisfying.If you're in the area, La Joie Shawarma is a must-visit. You won't regret it!“
“EDIT: after seeing my review they contacted me and brought a brand new salad. they had mentioned that they had a new employee learning. just based on this situation I would definetly go back for the great customer service... got a shawarma salad from there and half the container was filled with liquid. I would suggest getting sauce on the side. still had a good taste, just to wet“
“Well organized compact shop to get your European essentials. There is a deli with Halendas products, a full commercial kitchen, skincare products, grains and flours, snacks, desserts and more.While we were there, they were cooking some delicious looking roast pig which smelled incredible!The cheese burek was very good, but quite expensive for its size.Parking: Plenty of parking in front of the shop.“
“I came here late at night with a family of 6. We were very hungry and we had the family souvlaki platter plus 6 skewers. We were treated to a delicious and filling feast by the general manager Sari. Great quality, quantity, and value!! Definitely come and try this delicious restaurant .“
“Il fessais -20 degree Celsius pendant le corona virus et s’etais le rendez-vous de conduite à mon conjoint et je ne pouvais pas attendre à l’intérieur du bâtiment de conduite. Alors j’ai chercher un endroit où me réfugier et j’ai été voir le tim parce que sais plus familier pour mes connaissances, et Tim Horton mon refuser et aimais mieu me faire trembler de froid que de me laisser réchauffer. Mais Prince Ali ma accueilli à bras ouvert et il a compris qu’il fessais froid et ma laisser le droit de rester à l’intérieur le temps que mon conjoint finisse son permis. Merci infiniment Prince Ali, vous aviez un grand coeur et si je redescend à ottawa ces ici chez vous que je vais prendre ma nourriture ❤️“
“Service was perfect, food was worth every penny! Good prices, clean kitchen, and food prepared in front of you. The seating area reminds me of a European small restaurant, very simple. Will recommend to everyone, we ate the Adana kebab, iskender, lamb shish, and eggplant kebab. Finished off with tea! Great place for iftar“
“not only do they have amazing food but the owner goes above and beyond. i have been ordering from this establishment for 10 years. when I was in highschool near by years ago, he made sure no one went hungry. he offered food to those students who had no money and went by the honor system to pay him back. he asked for no thanks. this establishment deserves to be recognized. delicious food and service above and beyond“
“Have loved this place for so long. Food has never disappointed and have been coming here over 10 years. The Greek salads and housemade dressing are amazing and always great customer service. 3 stars for atmosphere only cuz it's small and you can hear everything in the back while dining lol but won't put me off going “
“I felt like home, welcoming was warm and really friendly.The soup was my favourite, like medicine as what we say in my home country. The rest of the food was delicious and well served. The art around made us feel special, with details and organized art all over the placeAbsolutely amazing and recommend“
“Very good shawarma spot! I ordered the chicken poutine and it was delicious AND affordable! Very good portion size too. Very friendly service. Only critique I have is that the fries could be a bit better (something like Kirkland fries would’ve made these elite). Other than that, very nice spot I will definitely be revisiting.“
“A family like restaurant, food is super delicious and well seasoned, staff are just amazing !You are gonna go back home full.Multiple options in their menu so you’ll definitely find your cravings there!I highly recommend this spot ??Kid-friendliness: A great spot for kids and staff are just amazing dealing with that.“

“The minute I walked in it was the smell of baked goods! I knew what I was in for. It brought me right back to my vacation in Lebanon years and years ago. The meat pie is perfectly made. The zatar was beyond fresh. I will be back many times. I noticed some people leaving their bussines cards behind. Perhaps on my next visit I can leave some of mine :)“
