Middle Eastern Restaurants in Ottawa, ON

“Great service, friendly staff, best chicken shawarma I’ve had in a long time, loaded with chicken and fresh ingredients. Great price and value for money!“

“I ordered the chicken platter regular size for my first visit. REALLY GOOD stuff right here I would say.

My go to shawarma has always been Shawarma Palace, and I'm having a hard time finding its equal. But this place might be one of them. The prices are about the same. Portion same ratio. The chicken is exquisite, tender and loads of tastes. They also give you more options on sauce. They only give you one pita, but they politely added an extra after I ask. The pitas here feel more fresh.

All in all, if you are a shawarma enthusiast I strongly recommend trying this place. The place itself is clean, friendly staff, TV on sport channel, and fast service. I will definitely go back sooner than later.

If I had to mention a negative point I would say that the young guy that served me is hard to hear, he should try raising his voice a bit more.“

“Great customer service! They let me try a sauce before I got the wrap just to make sure that it wasn’t too spicy for me (a person with no spice tolerance..). It was unfortunately too spicy, the guy then offered me water to help.

Food was delicious!“

“The meat and cheese pies are to die for! Been going here since they opened up, and is our go to place whenever we need our lebanese meat pie fix. A trick is coming first thing early morning and they are super fresh. They are very friendly and always smiling when working. I've been to other meat pie stores and this is the best quantity and quality of pies in Ottawa region.

I have had a shawarma poutine in the shawarma side of the store and they are good as well!“

“These guys are the best in customer service and produce just fantastic 😍💪🏼“

“As a vegetarian of over twenty years, I’ve had my fair share of falafels — and this little place might just serve the best I’ve ever tasted! Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, tender inside, with outstanding hummus and bright, tangy pickled vegetables. Absolutely delicious!“

“My 9 year old just said to me, “I’m so excited to go to Mona’s because Mona’s is the best food I’ve ever had!”“

“Highly recommended best kebob in ottawa smell test like kebob not like other junks.“

“We are a group who booked for the all you can eat buffet to celebrate a friend's birthday. The variety and quality of the dishes was amazing, good value. They even brought a plate of freshly made stuffed vine leaves to the table, still piping hot. (My only quibble: a few of the dishes were just warm/tepid/cool. Not easy to keep everything at the right temperature with a buffet.) There was something for everyone, whether you are a vegetarian or a meat or fish eater. My particular favourite: stuffed courgettes/zucchini - delicious. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Convenient parking out front. We will be back.“

“Ordered a chicken shawarma on Ogilvie road, which was delicious and big.“

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

“Jericho is our favourite middle Eastern restaurant. The owner is gracious and welcoming; the decor is a delight - festooned with his own lovely art work, and the food is excellent. Best hummus ever. We make it a point to dine there as often as possible.“

“This has got to be the most authentic tasting meat grill, Arabic breakfast food in Ottawa. Hugely generous in portion and the best kibbeh and fateh tahini- full of flavour and special spices. Different than labanese style- more tasty. Very authentic decoration indoor and reasonable prices as well. Congrats.“

“Majid our waiter was super nice, efficient and the food was brought to our table in a very coordinated well (hummus and babaghanoug and the salad before the grillades). We didn’t feel at any point that we were missing something at the table and he was very generous and courteous“

“I was craving shawarma and found this place on my way home from work. I'm new to Ottawa and my shawarma standards are high because my hometown has amazing shawarma that no other spots have come close to and I've tried many places already in Ottawa. Let me tell you, this place DID NOT DISSAPOINT! Amazing shawarma every bit of it! I will definitely be returning. The best I've had in Ottawa by FAR!“

“Best Shawarma in Ottawa !!“

“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“

“Best shawarma in Ottawa. I recommend also fries and chicken with special sauce on top.“
