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...“

“We ordered through skip the dishes and there were multiple pitas left out of the dish. The restaurant was amazing, they immediately fixed the issue, they were extremely kind, and they were genuinely remorseful. The food was unreal, the shawarma poutine was a highlight and everything was just so delicious. 10/10 recommend!“

“I recently visited Falafel Scoop in Ottawa, and it’s safe to say it exceeded my expectations. We were welcomed with friendly service as soon as we walked in, which made the whole experience even better.

I ordered a falafel sandwich, and it was massive and delicious. The falafel was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfectly spiced. The toppings were fresh and flavorful, and the pita was soft and warm, which tied everything together perfectly. The portion size was impressive—it left me satisfied.

In addition to falafel, they also serve shawarma and kabobs, giving customers a variety of Middle Eastern dishes to choose from. My wife opted for the chicken shawarma, and they served it in markouk bread, which was a great touch. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor, and she couldn’t stop raving about how much she enjoyed it.

What stood out to us was the food and the overall experience. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, and the service was fast and friendly. You can tell the staff takes pride in what they do, and it shows in the food and the atmosphere. Finding a place that serves authentic, high-quality meals at affordable prices is always nice.

If you’re looking for delicious falafel, shawarma, or kabobs in Ottawa, I highly recommend Falafel Scoop. We’ll be back for more!“

“Do yourself a favor and go get delicious food, huge portions, for a reasonable price. The saj uses the right type of bread, which is so refreshing, and they stuff them. Also, they pack the platter veggies separately, which makes for optimal reheating capabilities because you will have leftovers! You also get the added benefit of supporting local, family owned businesses.“

“Great falafel and super friendly owners. We came here to eat while we were doing laundry next door at Roundabout Laundry - Also a great place.

They also have stuffed falafel which you can't find everywhere. Definitely recommend the food.“

“I’m so happy I found Maya’s BBQ!!! I ordered a few platters for a teacher event and everything was amazing.
The beef kafta, chicken skewers, the salad, rice, and fries were so good. The falafels were a hit! The portions were very generous- overall, delicious. Even the food was packaged perfectly. I wish I took pictures but, trust me, everything looked great!
The guests were so impressed- they took seconds and some even took food to go.
Thank you Joumana (sorry for the spelling), you were so kind and helpful during the whole process. I appreciate it :)
I can’t wait to use Maya’s BBQ again for more events!
Highly recommended!

Vegetarian options: Falafel, Salads“

“Best shawarma in Gatineau.
Ingredients are always fresh, and the owner clearly puts a lot of pride and love into his work.
Because it's popular, you should arrive well before noon if you want to avoid lunch line-ups.

Vegetarian options: Falafel, roast potato, and many salad options.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible.“

“Great food. Fresh, full of flavour and plentiful. The owners are wonderful.“

“Fast service, great food and also nicely decorated. Staff are polite and friendly. We enjoyed every bit of our order of mix family platter. Very generous portions and not very pricy either. I'd definitely choose Pita Bell over any other kabab place in Ottawa.“

“Amazing and delicious!! I ordered the chicken shawarma on hummus - the hummus was the creamiest I’ve ever had, and the chicken was good too. Bonus points for the presentation! My partner ordered the falafel which he found delicious, it was super crispy on the outside and flavorful. The service was stellar and we loved the decor as well. When asked about how they make the hummus so well, the chef replied with love. We’ll definitely be coming back if we’re ever in Ottawa again!“

Let’s start with the star of the show: the food. Shawarma La Zone serves shawarma that is an absolute flavor explosion. The meat is perfectly seasoned and cooked to juicy perfection, with a delightful smoky char that sets it apart. I tried their chicken and beef shawarma wraps, and both were divine. The balance of tender meat, fresh vegetables, and creamy garlic sauce wrapped in warm, fluffy pita bread was pure bliss.

The portion sizes are generous, ensuring you leave with a full stomach and a satisfied smile. Their platters are equally impressive, with perfectly cooked rice, fresh salads, and a selection of dips that add an authentic touch. The hummus deserves special mention—silky smooth, with just the right amount of tang. Every bite was a testament to their commitment to quality and authentic flavors.

The staff at Shawarma La Zone are some of the friendliest and most accommodating people I’ve encountered at a restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. They take the time to explain the menu if you’re new and are more than willing to customize your order to suit your preferences.

What stood out the most was how attentive they were without being overbearing. They checked in to make sure everything was to my liking and even shared a bit about the dishes and their preparation. It’s clear that they take immense pride in what they do, and it shows in their service.

When it comes to service, Shawarma La Zone excels in efficiency. Despite being fairly busy during my visit, my food was prepared and served promptly. I barely had to wait, yet the quality was not compromised. It’s rare to find a place that can balance speed with such incredible attention to detail in the food.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for a more relaxed meal, you won’t have to worry about long wait times. This makes it a great spot for both busy professionals on the go and families looking to enjoy a leisurely meal.

The atmosphere at Shawarma La Zone is welcoming and unpretentious. It’s the kind of place where you can feel at ease, whether dining alone or with a group. The combination of amazing food, outstanding service, and a friendly ambiance makes every visit feel special.

Everyone working there radiates positivity, creating a vibe that’s as warm as the food they serve. It’s clear that the people behind Shawarma La Zone genuinely care about their customers, which is a big part of why it’s become a beloved spot in Ottawa.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this is, hands down, the best shawarma spot in the city. I can’t wait for my next visit!“

“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! 🇵🇸🖕🇮🇱“

“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“

“Amazing service and food!!! If your at the protest, go there for a meal, you won’t regret it! Thank you 3brothers!“

“Amazing Pizza“

“I haven’t been to the location in person but I’ve gotten delivery and the food is consistently delicious and of good quality. The chicken is meaty with no gristle and a crispy coating. The leftover fries are even still good the next day!“
