Middle Eastern Restaurants near Gloucester, ON

“The absolute best falafel around. Made fresh in the back to order, not waiting dry at the counter all day. Very flavourful and herbacious nugget. Super soft and moist on the inside. They always give us bonus falafel after they fried the ones up for our sandwiches. My husband discovered this place looking for lunch around his new office in the area and we now drive all the way from Rockland just for this amazing falafel. Last time we were there, a Lebanese man from Montreal was waiting for his order and told us he had driven all the way just to bring it home to his family for dinner that night because he has yet to find anything near as good as theirs between here and home. Now that's some good falafel! Thank you for always being so kind when my husband and I come in! We feel like family with how kind you guys are!“

“New King Shawarma Review

If you’re craving authentic Middle Eastern flavors in Ottawa, New King Shawarma is definitely worth a visit. The food is fresh, portions are generous, and the prices are fair for the quality you get. Their chicken shawarma is juicy and well-seasoned, wrapped in soft pita bread with just the right amount of garlic sauce and toppings. The beef shawarma is also flavorful and tender, not dry like at some other spots.

The platters are a highlight—loaded with rice, salad, and perfectly cooked meat, they’ll leave you satisfied. The garlic potatoes are a must-try side dish, crispy on the outside and soft inside.

The restaurant itself is clean, casual, and quick for takeout. Service is usually friendly and fast, even during busy hours.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)
A go-to place for anyone who loves shawarma in Ottawa—reliable, tasty, and filling every time.“

“We been going since they opened, the food is amazing, and owner/staff very friendly. Always greet you with a smile.“

“The food was impeccably juicy and delicious but we were not given any sauce or salad with our platters, we paid for saj bread but still got pita bread. I understand they were busy but forgetting to include our salads and sauce is rather insulting for the price we paid.“

“Excellent customer service. Highly recommended. They cater your needs. I was a little dissatisfied last time with the halwa puri but next time they ensured everything was up to mark. Best place for breakfast 😊“

“I recently visited this shawarma restaurant and tried the shawarma platter and the boneless crispy chicken. Both were absolutely delicious! The shawarma was flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, while the platter came with generous portions that made it very satisfying. The boneless crispy chicken was crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again!“

“One of the BEST Hidden gems in ottowa worth visiting with family, friends, or alone! They have very nice Middle Eastern exquisite red & black style decor, along with lively Middle Eastern music that gives the place an exotic feel and makes your dining experience more enjoyable. Also, the kitchen and dining areas (outdoor & indoor) are very clean and well managed, with staff cleaning the tables very often. Furthermore, the food is fresh and high quality. I absolutely loved just about everything I tried, from their shawarma, chicken & beef kebabs, mutabal, falafel, hummus, and roasted chicken. Additionally, their prices are great, with their highlight being the $9.99 shawarma with a side & drink. One last thing to mention is their cleanliness and kindness, with the staff welcoming me and other customers with open arms.“

“Amazing food and paintings! We ordered Kafta and the appetizer platter- and the food was delicious and good for two. Even the tables are painted! The owner Mr. Raouf Omar is the painter and also the person who serves you. We will definitely be visiting again.“

“5/5 because it taste like homemade Shawarma, no excess grease, only healthy ingredients and a lot of fresh taste.
Garlic sauce and hummus are fresh and bomb!
The owner is obviously very much invested in the quality of the food he serves on a daily basis. Thank you so much for your service.“

“We had build a bowl and ordered the cauliflower which we picked out our own bases, toppings and sauces. We both loved it and highly recommend this place. Excellent service and we will definitely be going back.“

“I have had a chaotic year, and Shawarma Prince has been the absolute life saver to eat healthy. As a type 1 diabetic, the food here is healthy, low carb and really yummy! I go to the Merivale road location and the staff here are the absolute best! If you are looking for a healthy, affordable, mouth watering meal, this is the place to go...5 out of 5 stars. JJ...“

I'm new to Ottawa and my shawarma standards are high because my hometown has amazing shawarma that no other spots have come close to and I've tried many places already in Ottawa. Let me tell you, this place DID NOT DISSAPOINT! Amazing shawarma every bit of it! I will definitely be returning. The best I've had in Ottawa by FAR!“

“How disgraceful. No fundraiser for the millions of Palestinian Men, Women and children devestated, dead, dying during a n ongoing massacre. You'd think filthy rich Ottawa Lebanese Resto owners would do something! DO SOMETHING! 🇵🇸🖕🇮🇱“

“Best shawarma in Ottawa. I recommend also fries and chicken with special sauce on top.“

“i had 2 junior bowl and kafta combo ,
Honestly i wasn’t expecting that from boustan but they just changed my thoughts about them yesterday.
They have a good customer service and best part is they doesn’t charge you for some stuffs which other restaurants would charge you .they will not say no to you but will let you know gently that it was extra but we are giving you ,so you can let us know next time before you pay
And food were good specially the amount of meat they give it’s fine to be honest ,compared to other places.
And you can hangout with friends here or can bring your family .
I will come again next week for sure“
