Lebanese Restaurants in Ottawa, ON

“My wife and my favourite food in the world are meat and cheese pies. Everyone needs to try these pies and then add them to their lives as a staple food. There’s nothing like ordering pies and eating them right away in your car. So flavourful, so gooey and cheesy. Get them with spice and lemon juice, Omg! I feel like I’m writing an erotic novel rather than a review but they are that amazing!“

“Seriously good pizza. Highly recommend the sausage and cheese. Just awesome. Great vibe as well.“

“Wow! Clean, Made in House. Delicious!! We tried the fajita and philly subs, with fattoush, grape leaves and cheese cake! ALL of it was absolutely amazing, not to mention the avocado sauce! I cant wait to try more items on their menu!“

“I recently had the pleasure of eating at Shawarma Andalos and I have to say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The warm atmosphere made me feel right at home.

The portion sizes were very generous and offered great value. I left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit.

Whether you're a shawarma enthusiast or trying it for the first time, this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommended!“

“My first time here was unlike any other shawarma place I have ever been to, the guy at the counter was incredibly kind and so welcoming, he was genuinely such a nice person. I was waiting for my dog to get groomed next door so I sat down to eat inside, it got a bit busy with customers coming in and every single person that came in to order he either knew them by name or he was extremely friendly and welcoming to every single person who came inside. You do not find customer service like this anymore, it truly warmed my heart to see. The food was great, the service was incredible, highly recommend“

“Was amazing but now with the new owners the serving sizes have decreased and prices increased and the flavour is not there. Was my go to as I was addicted but now it is not the same and for me now worth it anymore.“

“Love Lebanese food and this is the real deal (plus a great deal on the price too :) Tried this while travelling to Ottawa and really happy with the experience - the options and taste of the food, the care in the preparation, the great conversation while waiting. Would happily go again!

Wheelchair accessibility: Located in a mall on ground level and lots of easy access from the street, brand new building with very well designed accessibility including bathrooms.“

“Very welcoming food is delicious and fresh everytime I go there, and there new dough recipe on there Middle Eastern pies are absolutely delicious and thin. I remember while back there dough was little thick but they changed it and so much better. A+++“

“Awesome! Came in from out of town and looking for lunch. Not really familiar with the food, but the guy working was super helpful. What an incredible meal from a food court. The garlic sauce was amazing, the meat was delicious and everything was very fresh. You can not go wrong giving this place a try.“

“The best baklava i have ever had! I didn’t even think i liked baklava that much until i had this. And you can really tell that the hummus and the tabouleh is home-made- you can tell at the first taste! Stopped in randomly and so glad i did.“

“Ordered for a family gathering and the food was packed very nicely in large trays with all the sides separate little containers. And of course the food itself was absolutely delicious!!!! It was fresh and the aroma of chicken, rice and potatoes filled up my living room. All my guests from old to young loved it. Thank you ARZ Shawarma.“

“Balbakis my favorite shisha place in ottawa .i like the place and the owner (ahmed) especially. He is very kind and take pride in his business. Professional service and an amazing atmosphere. Drinks are great specially the tea with mint( try it)I am impressed with how the place is always clean. Friendly environment - would definitely recommend!“

“Casual atmosphere, excellent food and huge portions.
We usually order a mixed platter and share between three people! Would comfortably fill two hungry customers.
A huge spacious setting with many booths (former Montanas).“

“I love all the food that Al-Noors bakery. This is the only bakery I buy my pies. I think they are the best in all Ottawa. I drive all the way from Kemptville for there food. The service is amazing and the staff are always welcoming and very kind. I highly recommend Al-Noor bakery.“

“We stopped by Ottawa Shawarma Palace and it was honestly so good! We ordered the chicken and beef shawarma, plus a side of garlic potatoes, and everything was spot on.

The chicken shawarma really stood out – super juicy, well-seasoned, and just packed with flavor. The beef shawarma was good too, but we definitely preferred the chicken.

The garlic potatoes? Wow! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with just the right amount of garlic. Perfect side to go with the shawarma.

The portions were big, and the service was quick and friendly. We’re definitely coming back again soon! If you’re craving shawarma, this place is a must-try.“

“My 1st time eating here. My friend treated me to lunch at Billings Bridge. I had Falafel Trio, & my friend had chicken Trio. We made sure to tell them before leaving, that this is the best shawarma we've both ever had, & that we'd be back. Thank You ?“

“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.“

“Best Shawarma Platters in the city. Very friendly staff and generous portions.

Vegetarian options: Totally can do vegetarian

Parking: Lots and lots of free parking.

Kid-friendliness: A great place to bring the kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: 100% wheel chair accessible. Everything on one floor. No stairs.“

“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“

“Tried Lebanese Village Bakery for the first time and I was blown away! The variety of pies is incredible, something for everyone, but the meat and cheese options truly stand out. Their Chicken & Cheese and Sojouk pies are hands-down the best I’ve had in the city. The service was friendly, fast, and made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, you feel right at home the moment you walk in. This place is a hidden gem and an absolute must-try. Can’t wait to go back for more!!!“

“First time placing take out order at Athens Grill this evening. I forgot to ask the women's name who served me. She was awesome, accommodated me for all my needs & even packed my salads separately due to long travel out of town. Both chicken souvlaki & Schwarma chicken were very flavourful. Chicken was better then most bigger name greek houses. Everything was fresh & tasty. Highly recommend as this will now be my go to place for Greek & Lebanese. Thanks again for the amazing food & service.“

“Probably the safest late night Shawarma fix in the downtown area. Quality, quantity, and fair pricing.

I don't think it ever looks busy from the outside - looking in. But don't be fooled. They do a lot of delivery through the app services, especially.

A large falafel sandwich will leave a hungry person finding it hard to finish. Good size. Good price. Mighty tasty. That's my goto fave.

My accomplice has been fetching beef and chicken shawarma sandwiches from here for years. Consistency. My accomplice does not like any fat or grizzle in his beef. This is the only place he trusts for a really good beef shawarma sandwich.

The pup rather enjoys some chicken cut straight from their spit (warning: no garlic sauce - garlic is not good for pups). Let's just say our pup inhales his chicken once it's cooled enough to wolf down.

Vegetarian options: I get a large falafel without garlic sauce. Pretty lip-smackin' good, and really filling.“

“Amazing sweets , and they are very patient while I sit there asking what everything is called and what's in it lol. While I was waiting the lady let me sample a sweet she just finished from where she came from; it was so good. So ya the bakery side is a must try. I was looking at the meat pies while I waited, they look amazing that's the next on my list, and I couldn't believe the price, extremely reasonable, same as the baked goods. Very nice people as well. Hidden gem“

“Taste is good, but the service was unpleasant becuase of one of the two male persons who were actually making shawarma. He was extremely unpleasant and rude. You guys will probably lose your customers because of his service.The lady at the cash was welocoming.“

“احلى استقبال واحلى عيلة ونظافة واطيب كفتة بكل أوتاوا الله يباركلكم يا رب“

“Delicious halal food and amazing service! We ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich, the mixed shawarma sandwich, and chicken tenders for delivery. Everything tasted great, and our sandwiches were clearly labeled. Overall, this is a great restaurant and I definitely recommend it.“

“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!“

“the best food and good service i love this restaurant ,i olso it’s good for families and guy’s on the line helping“

“Such a little hidden gem. The food is good and there is something on the menu for everyone. We tried their Donair Sub And meatball sub which were both fantastic. Based on the marinara sauce and the meatball sub, I bet their spaghetti is really good. The owners are very lovely And the prices are fair.“

“I’ve been to many different shawarma places in my life, but this place has to be my new favourite. 10/10 chicken shawarma wraps, best flavour, loaded up with lots of sauce, toppings, and meat, super good! Definitely recommend! Prices are also super reasonable“

“The Fattoush is amazing but unfortunately since our return to work the portions for the fattoush salad are much smaller and for the price of almost $15 it’s difficult to justify. Prior to the pandemic the fattoush portion used to be worth while. I know prices are climbing in everything but dissapointed in the portion size.“

“delicious!! Thankyou!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦“

“One of the best shawarma’s I’ve had in Ottawa. Juicy tender chicken, not dried out like some palaces— I mean places ;)
Generous portions and very good hard working guy who’s there everyday. Huge upgrade from the old shawarma joint that used to operate at this location“

“The shop has a lot of 90s charm with lots of parking and inside seating. We ordered two chicken shawarmas and a beef donair shawarma.

Reading the reviews after the fact, I'm unsure what to think...my meat was heated up in a pan on the stove and not the microwave. The gentleman behind the counter used gloves to touch the veggies. We didn't get sick and it was all very tasty! The location was a bonus as it was close to the Ingenium.

Vegetarian options: Falafel“
