“Just had another delicious beef shawarma at Ottawa Shawarma in Greenbank Square on Greenbank Rd. Just when I think they made the best wrap, they outdo themselves. Tried it with some tebhuli (spelling?) for the first time & loved it. These guys really know how to make a meal!! 10 out of 10!!! See you again soon!“
“WOW! WHAT A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!Great food, and one of the best and friendliest teams I've ever seen. Food tastes great, and portions are worth the money! Prices are not high. Really clean, with a large selection of sides and menu items. 100% recommended!“
“Stopped in to grab a quick chicken sandwich.It was quick, savory and delicious.Really like the spices they use here, there's a hint of India to it (I know it's a shawarma joint but trust me, it's amazing)Thanks guys! Stay awesome!“
“The food is excellent and authentic. Very clean (even the bathrooms were spotless). The prices aren’t cheap…Vegetarian options: Lebanese cuisine naturally has vegetarian options (loubyieh bi zeid, okra, hummus, tabbouli, spicy potato, etc)“
“Just received an absolute mountain of food, didn’t skimp on anything and used real hummus and toum. Both chicken and beef were tender, moist and flavourful. I rate them 10/10 since despite increasing costs they still deliver the same shawarma platters I was used to getting elsewhere before covid.“
“Amazing shawarma and those potatoes were perfection. The garlic sauce was not overwhelming. Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy“
“Absolutely amazing little Shawarma place. Me and my girlfriend visited, and we were greeted with a free sample of the lentil soup which was fantastic. Food portions are very big and the chicken shawarma and potatoes was very tasty. Highly recommend!“
“The food was amazing as usual. This place never failed us. Consistent quality and tasty food. Elena was really nice and welcoming…she was serving us with a big smile and checked on us frequently to make sure nothing was missing. Overall great service.“
“BEST FALAFEL IN OTTAWA !!! This restaurant makes fresh hot falafel on the spot once you order. Unlike many other restaurants they just make a bunch and serve them cold. They also have the authentic fresh Arabic bread and the best toppings. Highly recommend their Qudsiya it was extremely rich and creamy just like how it should be. Thank you Ottawa Falafel House for the amazing experience ??????“
“الذ شاورما في اوتاواCame back againAmazing chicken shawarmathe lowest price in townYou got to be patient with the service as they're price is so lowPeople ordering 10,12,17 small wraps at the same time, extremely busy“
“I love love this place! The staff is so friendly :) I love the man and woman who own this place - they are there every day!Now, for the food. Not a thing to complain about. The shawarma meat is 5/5 delicious, their potatoes are so good, never dry, always good. The garlic sauce and creamy and too pungent. The spicy sauce is good too (it’s orange).Def go here. Did I mention the shawarmas are only 8$??? OG PRICES MILLENIAL FRIENDS :D“
“3 different staff members were all super kind, helpful and made great suggestions in terms of food selections. The lamb was fall off the bone delicious. All the items were so flavourful!!!! Will definitely return with our kids next time.“
“Before today I thought that falafel was just something you endured if you wanted non-meat Lebanese food. At Falafel scoop, every crispy, fluffy morsel is cause for your tastebuds to celebrate. The eggplant and yogurt dip is a garlicky revelation. The lentil soup is hearty and comforting. The pita is fresh, tahini tangy. My new go-to shawarma spot.“
“Amazing food, 10/10 experience. The guy working the shawarma station is very patient and explained everything to me in great detail when I wasn’t sure what to order. The beef shawarma is very tasty and flavorful. The garlic potatoes are cooked perfectly and were even better with paired with the garlic sauce. I would 1000% be coming back with family and friends knowing they would enjoy the food and the atmosphere like me.“
“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“
“We ordered a Muhammara Pide and a Spinach Pide with cheese for starter; chicken mandi, chicken kebab and shish taouk with naan for our main course, the yogurt drink and kunafa with ashta for the dessert! And one of the person on the table ordered falafel sandwich. Everything on the table was delicious and had perfect blend of spices! The quantity was good! We really enjoyed our food! Thank you ?“
“Low key brunch place tucked away in an industrial area. As soon as you enter, you are welcome by a family owned business. Great food with lots of options. Price is excellent and hard to beat nowadays. Portions are plenty and eggs came out the way you ordered them. We were a table of 8 and everyone got exactly what they wanted. If you like supporting local, this is a must try. Don’t let the scenery turn you away. They accept all Credit Cards including American Express“
“EDIT: after seeing my review they contacted me and brought a brand new salad. they had mentioned that they had a new employee learning. just based on this situation I would definetly go back for the great customer service... got a shawarma salad from there and half the container was filled with liquid. I would suggest getting sauce on the side. still had a good taste, just to wet“
“La Joie Shawarma is an absolute gem in the area! I've tried several shawarma spots in the area, but none compare to the incredible experience I had here. The owners are genuinely kind and caring, making every visit feel like a warm welcome.Even during busy times, waiting in line is a breeze because the deliciousness that awaits is beyond worth it! And let me tell you about their spicy garlic option—it's a game-changer! I'm usually not one to go for the extra kick, but trust me, their spicy garlic sauce is a must-try!My go-to order is the Large Mix Trio, and it never disappoints. The beef and chicken are bursting with flavor, the veggies are always fresh, and the potatoes are perfectly cooked—never greasy, always satisfying.If you're in the area, La Joie Shawarma is a must-visit. You won't regret it!“
“We ordered Mixed Meshawi (sp?) and it was very delicious!!! Rice was excellent, cooked to perfection, and flavourful. All the meat items were cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Went there a year ago, and I’m happy to say that my experience was great both times. Thank you!!“
“I've ordered both take out and catering from BiBi's, and this place just hits the spot every time. One thing I really wanted to give a shout out to is BiBi's catering services. Their food can impress even the pickiest eaters, and their service is phenomenal. I had a great experience with Kelly when I mentioned some food restrictions (nuts allergy). When the food arrived, not only were they well presented, each item was labeled carefully. If you need a caterer for your events, you can definitely count on BiBi's!“
“I felt like home, welcoming was warm and really friendly.The soup was my favourite, like medicine as what we say in my home country. The rest of the food was delicious and well served. The art around made us feel special, with details and organized art all over the placeAbsolutely amazing and recommend“
“Great neighborhood shawarma spot in Riverside South!My family's go to for take out now... they got us craving it a couple of times a week now. ?Delicious, fresh and flavorful chicken and beef.Love supporting local businesses in Riverside South.“
“This is a fantastic place to get delicious fresh food at a great price. It is my favourite lunch spot, perfectly filling. Their zaatar and veggie flatbreads are suitable for vegans as well so there are options for everyone. Really though, the best part of going here is the family that owns the restaurant. They are amazing people and so kind and generous. A delight to talk to. I have also never had food from here I didn’t love. If you are in the area I would definitely recommend stopping by to try their yummy food. Good for a meal or a snack!“
“Sometimes you forget to put up a review because you get very busy but I am aware that they do help small business so this is mine. We have lived on Arch st. since 2009 and are going to move in the spring this restaurant has been our go to as long as we've been here the food is always amazingly fresh the portions crazy big when ordering the family meals we always had enough left overs to enjoy the next day. I will very much miss being down the street. I'm sure even though I won't be as close I will sneak back from time to time. Thanks for all you do in our community and I wish this restaurant all the very best in 2024!!!!♥️“
“My wife and I have been coming to this place for years. They offer a traditional Shawarma menu with awesome flavors. As others have stated, the garlic sauce is amazing. And whether you're ordering a sandwich and garlic potatoes or a platter, the portion sizes are really generous. I love being able to buy a dinner platter from here and have plenty of food for lunch the next day as well! Not once have we been served dry, over roasted meat that was on the spit too long, always juicy and succulent. I highly recommend the chicken as they use a nice spice blend to marinate it.The staff are great. They've gotten to know us over the years, they recognize us right away and ask how our day has been, and sometimes we get little extras. Bottom line: great value, tasty and satisfying food, and friendly staff, a must try!Vegetarian options: Falafel“
“His donair was very good. If you crave the sweet sauce that Kojax used to have then you'll love his version. Nice guy. Tasty grub. Always seating available in the world's boringest mall Okay...I've been stuck at the hotel across from the mall where the grand pita is and I've eaten there at least 5 times.... always the same donair and toppings of my choosing with his excellent sweet sauce ....the other food looks great too...but that donair man! Edit. My last day in town went to have a donair and fries...no fries but if you get there at 11am he just finishes making the deep fried chunks of potato for garlic potatoes...11 am .be there“
“Easily one of the top shawarma places in Ottawa. The food is delicious, generously proportioned, and the prices are very fair. Their garlic sauce has some good kick to it. My family has ordered takeout from here on numerous occasions and we've never been disappointed. Service is always friendly.They also serve I believe a Pakistani/Indian breakfast on the weekends which I'm hoping to try soon.“
