Middle Eastern Restaurants near Markham, ON

“Purchased the 3 item tray with donar, chicken and beef shwarma. My order was for take out so I am only rating the food.

Let me start with the positives:
- Donar was solid, lots of flavor and tender. Without the donar, my rating would have been 3 stars.
- Rice and potatoes were good. Both fully cooked and seasoned well.
- Good portion size.
- Good home made hummus; they were generous with the tahini in it.

Suggested areas for improvement:

- Beef shwarma was a disappointment. Beef was very tough/stinky with chewy tendons still in-tact. Consider using better cuts of beef or tenderizing.
- Both the chicken and beef shwarma were conservative with the seasonings. I didn't taste much middle eastern spices coming through.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and the service was exceptional. Knafe Nabuslyehwas the cherry on top! Highly Recommwnd.“

“The meat was fresh and well seasoned with all the different flavors in one bite. Portion size was great for the price nowadays. The owners were very friendly and welcoming as I ordered the platter. Support your local spots! Ordered the Shawerma Platter for $21.41 (including tax)“

“I want to give a big shoutout to Dheru and Rehanna for their amazing service. I accidentally placed my order at another Osmow’s, but they went out of their way to call the other location and sort everything out for me. They still made me a delicious poutine here and were super friendly the whole time. Really appreciate their effort — great customer service!“

“Had a great experience at Osmow’s Shawarma. The service was quick and very welcoming — the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was right. The food was delicious, well-prepared, and full of flavor. It’s rare to find both amazing food and such great service in one place. Will definitely be coming back!“

“A clean restaurant, very tasty food, and very respectful to customers“

“Mina was fantastic, very friendly and enthusiastic, she walked me through the menu and was extremely attentive and so helpful. Everything was fantastic, from the hot freshly made pita bread, to the delicious hummus and the tawuk (chicken breast) which was tender and juicy. The rice was flavourful and the crispy onions added to how unique and delicious it all was.“

“It’s really delicious halal food. If you are a food lover, pls have a try. Hope you will enjoy.“

“Great restaurant for chicken shawarma Sandwiches and platters.“

“It’s my go-to spot for a quick and delicious lunch. What sets this location apart is the consistently friendly service. The staff always greets you with a smile, and they're super patient, even when there's a line-up out the door. The pitas themselves are always fresh and generously filled. I'm a big fan of their falafel pita - the falafel is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained. It's a great place to grab a quick and tasty lunch or dinner.“

“I really like this shawarma place and the food is always great. Today Salaheddin gave excellent service , very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, one of the ladies working there can sometimes come across as a bit rude, which affects the experience. Hoping the service stays more like it was today!“

“I think it's safe by now to say that everyone has heard of the term that abs are made in the kitchen... I will add something to this by saying that it doesn't have to be in your kitchen at home or by eating bland and boring food! I had the opportunity today to pass by and visit my old friend Johnny at his shawarma restaurant on Kennedy Road not far off the 401... @johnnysshawarma is consistently ranked in the top handful of shawarma restaurants in the city and I can honestly say that I've never had better shawarma anywhere (not even when visiting Israel!)... And that says a lot considering with my middle eastern roots (my Dad was from Egypt) this is one of my favorite foods as it's delicious as it is nutritious especially when given the option to swap out the starchy carbs like the insanely good rice and potatoes with equally amazing salads and dips... Make sure to stop by and grab a bite if you are heading anywhere East of the DVP off the 401 and let them know Andre sent you 💪💪💪“

“I come here for a second time around. The food, Ambiance and staff are superb, this is highly recommended. Especially SACO our Server, he is so Funny and very approachable, always takes good care of his Table to make sure everything was fine.“

“First time visited the place and it's a hidden gem I'm telling you. Great service and the guy even recommended me the most selling stuff to try out and God it was indeed Amazing!

“I had a chance to stop by this place for the Poutine, I must say this is the best poutine in town, the worker Mr. Ali who served us was an amazing and heard working person.
I truly appreciate the business they’re serving for our community.“

“One of best shawarmas in entire gta for long time now. Wish they offered shawarma boxes as well at lunchtime for a more economical option tha paying 20 a plate, like many other donair/shawarma places i pay 13 dollars for..esp for me who intermittent fasts and avoids carbs so you can get salad n meat only“

“I’ve come to Osmow's several times, and every visit has been a great experience. I always enjoy the chicken shawarma.. it has an authentic Middle Eastern flavor, especially when you customize the toppings to your liking. The customer service is excellent, and the wait time is always quick too. My son loves it!!“

“I visited Faryab Restaurant and tried their famous Palaw Uzbaki. Honestly, it was really good.

The rice was soft and full of flavor, with a nice mix of carrots and raisins, and the lamb was tender and delicious. You can really feel the authentic Afghan taste in every bite, and it’s one of their most popular dishes for a reason.

Overall, the food felt fresh and satisfying, and the portion was great. If you like rich, flavorful rice dishes, I would definitely recommend trying their Palaw Uzbaki.“

“perfect food and yummy taste“
