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.“

“Awesome breakfast. Best in Ottawa“

“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!“

“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.“

“I went to this place because I was waiting for a appointment, just to get a quick bite. I am amazed with the service, pricing and the deals, blown away with the food, it is very filling. staff even helped show others how to open the shawarma package the atmosphere is different then other places and is cozy in a way. 10/10 would recommend.“

“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+++“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“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.“

“I originally rated this place a 1 star, 3 years ago when it first changed over from a Montana's. Lots has changed since, very nice atmosphere, welcoming staff. There is a Honey drip bar located inside, plenty sitting room for large families. Cosy fireplace area with tv's. Food was great, the meet on spike looked fresh and juicy. No complaints!“

“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.“

“It was sketchy walking in, it looked closed and the parking lot was empty other than 2 other cars. But, upon opening the door and making our way to the dining area it was much better. Clearly this used to be a BIG operation back in the day, but now looks like it is mostly for take out or quick meals. The dining area and kitchen were all bright and clean.
The man behind the counter was very friendly and was happy to sell us a couple of falafel on the side. He custom makes each wrap and plate for the guest which is great. You can see the meat on the spits as well as all of the fresh veg and sauces. He takes his time to build it just right for us which was really nice. Good menu options, I would have liked to try more.
We really enjoyed our mixed wrap. He was kind enough to put the hot sauce on one half and not the other. The falafel was quite dry, and the sauce didn't really help much. Good flavor. Overall it is a solid option, I'd get it again in a pinch, but the meats and falafel were quite dry. Service was great, everything was fresh and it was a great stop for us.“

“l-Noor Bakery is a true hidden gem and the perfect example of a place that prioritizes substance over style. Don't come here expecting a fancy setup; come here for some of the most delicious food in the city. The menu is wonderfully simple, focusing on pies with options available on Meat and Chease. They are executed perfectly every single time. The flavours are authentic, fresh, and incredibly satisfying.
The absolute best part is the value for money. It's genuinely hard to find food at reasonable prices these days. A word of advice for new visitors: the seating is very limited. This is much more of a grab-and-go spot, perfect for a quick, delicious takeaway meal. If you're looking for simple, flavour-packed food that won't break the bank, Al-Noor Bakery is an absolute must-visit.“

“I recently visited this shawarma restaurant and tried the shawarma platter and the boneless crispy chicken. Both were absolutely delicious! The shawarma was flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, while the platter came with generous portions that made it very satisfying. The boneless crispy chicken was crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again!“

“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!!!“

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

“I've been visiting this place for years, a family run business. Very nice people and the food is good, so is the portion size. I love tipping at this place because the service and food is so worth it. It makes me feel like they're family. Genuinely nice people.“

“We’ve been many times at Shawarma Palace Carling Av. The food is truly excellent, fresh, tasty, and generous portions. However, the setting feels a bit plain, with very basic furniture and more of a canteen vibe than a restaurant. The service could also be warmer; a friendlier welcome at the counter (the cashier girl) would really improve the experience.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and paintings! We ordered Kafta and the appetizer platter- and the food was delicious and good for two. Even the tables are painted! The owner Mr. Raouf Omar is the painter and also the person who serves you. We will definitely be visiting again.“

“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“

“I visited the shawarma restaurant on a Monday night, and it was a truly wonderful experience! The food was so delicious and fresh. The cashier (I think her name was Hanin or Hanan), who was wearing a hijab, was very kind and polite, and her beautiful smile made everyone feel welcome. Excellent service and delicious food - I will definitely be back! 🌟🌟🌟🌟“

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

“We've had great experiences at The Hog's Back Grill & Bistro this season! Everyone enjoyed their perfectly grilled hot dog with crispy and hot fries. The service was efficient and friendly. It's lovely to enjoy the sound of falls while having a fun treat on a summer day. We'll be back again and thank you!“

“A great place to grab a delicious shawarma. I’ve ordered a chicken shawarma combo that came with a small plate of garlic potatoes and a can of soda. The shawarma was very good, packed to the brim with chicken, veggies, and a great sauce. The place was very clean and mainly empty. The service was good.“

“Ordered the vegetarian pizza, chicken wings with honey garlic sauce, and deep fried shrimp. The owners/staff were absolutely amazing people and took care to provide incredible service to every customer. I didn’t even get any pictures because of how much we were enjoying the food 😅 The pizza was absolutely the star of the show, a must try! We will be returning <3“

“Passed this place many times and finally popped in for a shawarma.
The small shawarma was packed and the chicken was moist! Definitely different from other places taste wise and was great.
The only thing I’d change is adding pickles 🥒
The new guy in there who’s been here for 8 months was very kind and had excellent customer service, thank you sir!“

“Absolutely amazing the food was fresh affordable and u really get a good amout for what your paying for friendly guy behind the counter
Parking is a little tough but thats a good thing always being busy cause u have some the best shawarma around“

“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!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦“

“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“

“Very good! Fresh ingredients. Very clean. You can tell the owners take great pride in their business !“
