Middle Eastern Restaurants in Kitchener, ON

“very tasty food and portions are very good“

“Me and a group of friends had a visit to this lounge as we all were eager to try out food places in other cities besides going to the typical GTA (where we reside). Volume lounge is one of the best food/relaxation spots K-W has to offer! The food arrives almost instantly, it is fresh, and tastes absolutely delicious. The chicken and beef were tender, the rice was cooked up to tier, and the meal did not feel overpowering. Additionally, the staff were very professional and provided me and my friends immediate hospitality as soon as we got seated. I would definitely recommend this resturant to individuals, especially foodies, who love trying new things out! 10/10 experience. :)“

“I was met and greeted by a super friendly, sprightly, welcoming Bulgarian woman, Velichka, from behind the counter at this Syrian family bakery right adjacent to a small very good quality shawarma restaurant run by the same family. She works ever so efficiently to produce top shelf quality pastries. These two food outlets are located kitty corner to a high calibre Arab supermarket with a great butcher with superb cuts of meat.

In any event, having a need for some snacks especially for our two teenagers with insatiable appetites, I thought I’d give this bakery a go. The signage outside showing their pastries convinced me to go on in. Once inside, a quick look at the menu and across the counter seeing everything was freshly baked, I placed my order.

It was a little bit of a wait- 30 minutes - but well worth it seeing these ever so tempting fresh out of the oven pastries as they were gently placed in the takeaway boxes.

Soon after arriving home, my 14-year-old son opened the box and yelled up “hey Dad, these look really good!” The 34 pastries including mini pizzas, stuffed spinach and cheesy herb boats were gone in a couple of days – proof positive, a sure sign that Manooshti is worth the very reasonable price of 2 dollars per pastry. Each bite into this soft dough is absolutely delicious. Your kids will really appreciate this great treat! A little time in the microwave can bring back that out of the oven freshness!“

“The food here is amazing! Everything's fresh and very tasty. We highly recommend Shawarma Star! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“I’ve been coming here for a while now and the food never misses. The flavors are always on point and the portions are great.
​My absolute favorite thing on the menu is the Shawarma Poutine. It is easily some of the best I’ve had—the fries stay crispy, the gravy is savory, and they don’t skimp on the meat or the garlic sauce.“

“The chicken tawook here is absolutely amazing! The chicken is perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and grilled just right. You get massive portions with flavorful rice, fresh salad, and their incredible garlic sauce. Plus, the freshly baked pitas are a game changer. Great service and authentic flavours. Highly recommended!!“

“Excellent chicken shwarma!! Great service and the routine was good also“

“Amazing restaurant, food and staff. Best shawarma I’ve ever had. Get the shawarma fries plate it’s the best!!“

“The food at the Turkish Flames is excellent, fresh, perfectly cooked and spiced. We ate here twice during a recent stay at the nearby Sandman hotel, and it was by far the best food in that locale!“

“I appreciate the environment“

“Rose Cafe in Town it is rare to find such a beautiful place, relaxing and tasty food. My husband and I go there for a date as it is not only food but the vibe is needed after a busy and hectic day. Yes the items might be more expensive than other places, However we should remember that we are paying for something unique, the place, the food. Highly recommended for relaxing and good food . Respectfully.“
