Middle Eastern Restaurants near Gloucester, ON

“Looking for delicious, authentic falafel? Look no further!

I’ve tried so many falafel places in Ottawa that I’ve lost count, and this one is by far the best. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and flavorful. The owners are also super sweet and welcoming. It feels like you’re entering their home, and they treat you like family.

The shawarma was excellent as well and had a delicious homemade taste.

This will definitely be my go-to spot for falafel sandwiches from now on!“

“Great service, friendly staff, best chicken shawarma I’ve had in a long time, loaded with chicken and fresh ingredients. Great price and value for money!“

“I don’t write reviews often but this is my go-to spot in Ottawa. Been coming here for 3 years now and it never disappoints.

Incredibly tasty, and great value for the portion size they give. Fantastic family run business.“

“Just discovered this fantastic little gem in Findlay Creek! We each ordered a donair, and it was the best I've ever tasted. The portions were incredibly generous. They offer a great selection of desserts.
The service was excellent. The staff were genuinely happy to have our business and were very patient while we took our time deciding what to order from their extensive menu. With so many tempting options, it wasn't easy to choose!
Highly recommended—we'll definitely be back.“

“Its the best I ever had! It's like a party of favours in my mouth! I wil never go anywhere else!“

“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 can’t tell you the last time I had such a good, authentic falafel and shawarma. It’s the closest to how it’s made back home! We went with a big group and the patrons were so kind. We’ll definitely stop here every time we’re back in ottawa!!“

“Highly recommended best kebob in ottawa smell test like kebob not like other junks.“

“I discovered La Joie Shawarma about two years ago, and ever since, it’s been part of my weekly routine. The food quality is consistently top everything tastes fresh, and you can tell a lot of care goes into each dish.

The garlic sauce and hummus are incredibly flavorful and perfectly made. As for the beef and the chicken shawarma sandwich, all dressed with spicy sauce and sesame, it’s hands down the best shawarma I’ve had in the Ottawa–Gatineau area. Nothing else comes close. I honestly can’t enjoy shawarma from anywhere else now.

The owner and his team are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Just a tip: try to get there early at lunchtime because it gets busy really fast!

Shukran brother!!“

“We are a group who booked for the all you can eat buffet to celebrate a friend's birthday. The variety and quality of the dishes was amazing, good value. They even brought a plate of freshly made stuffed vine leaves to the table, still piping hot. (My only quibble: a few of the dishes were just warm/tepid/cool. Not easy to keep everything at the right temperature with a buffet.) There was something for everyone, whether you are a vegetarian or a meat or fish eater. My particular favourite: stuffed courgettes/zucchini - delicious. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Convenient parking out front. We will be back.“

“Excellent food, authentic. Great, fast service.“

“My 9 year old just said to me, “I’m so excited to go to Mona’s because Mona’s is the best food I’ve ever had!”“

“Really great food and quick turnaround. Food was extremely tender and service is impeccable. Both the chicken and lamb are equally as good.“

“What a wonderful experience and a beautiful place to enjoy a meal at. I had an unforgettable experience here with the most delicious shawarma on homos and alcazar dessert I have ever had. If you are in town you definitely need to visit this hidden gem. I recommend this for anyone looking to try authentic middle Eastern and Mediterranean food. Cheers to the owner and staff!“

“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.“

“This place is yet another Great hidden gem. Me and my partner had a classic chicken shawarma and i decided to give their chicken poutine a try and i was incredibly impressed by how good the poutine was! The shawarma was really good, not dry at all and very well prepared. Ive been to my fair share of shawarma places and this one is in my top 3 for sure.“

“I was craving shawarma and found this place on my way home from work. 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!“

“انصح به وبشدة مطعم ممتاز وباعلى المقاييس وبشوشين ويرحبون بالزبائن بحرارة I highly recommend it, an excellent restaurant with the highest standards, and they welcome customers warmly“

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...“

“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 !!“

“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“
