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!“

“Excellent customer service. Highly recommended. They cater your needs. I was a little dissatisfied last time with the halwa puri but next time they ensured everything was up to mark. Best place for breakfast 😊“

“Great experience at King Shawarma Plus! The food was fresh, flavorful, and filling, and the portions were generous. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Definitely a solid spot for shawarma in Ottawa — I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“On a recent trip to Ottawa I tried to visit as many different shawarma and falafel restaurants as I could. This place was far and away the best falafel I had. In fact it was one of the best I’ve had anywhere in the world! The shawarma was also excellent. And though the place is tiny and not fancy, I recommend eating there for maximum crispy deliciousness.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Tahini’s! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the overall service was excellent. A special thanks to KENYEL for making my visit so memorable. He was extremely friendly, polite, welcoming, and professional. His positive attitude and outstanding customer service really made a difference and made me feel valued as a customer.

It’s always a pleasure to visit a place where the staff genuinely care about their customers and go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. KENYEL truly deserves appreciation for his excellent hospitality and the way he treats customers.

Keep up the great work! I’ll definitely be happy to visit again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious food and amazing customer service! 👏❤“

You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, and you’re guaranteed some of the best Lebanese food in Ottawa! I’ll be back, and often!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Wow. My friends and I were in an ordinary strip-mall parking lot and moments later, were transported into a visually stunning atmosphere that would put most freestanding restaurants to shame. The quality of the food was impressively high - scrumptious, tender meats, fluffy hummus, crisp salads, freshly squeezed mint lemonade, and a delish honey cake that was on the house! The service was perfect - so very warm and welcoming. And the price? Um, I don’t know how they stay in business. They were low low.
I have never tipped 25% in my life.
I did tonight.“

“Really great food and quick turnaround. Food was extremely tender and service is impeccable. Both the chicken and lamb are equally as good.“

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

“This is a gem of a small Shawarma place tucked away in a little residential plaza in Urbandale with other great food options.

We had the Chicken Platter to go
(Big Portion, enough for 2)

The chicken was cut right off the spit and delicious, tender and cooked right.
Salad was FRESH CUT (firm as it should be) and with LOTS of peppers in all colours 👍
We asked for rice only for carbs.
The pink turnips were delicious and not bitter and the hummus was fresh and tasty 😋
This is our 3rd time here and we’ll be back for more.
My tummy is still happy 😊 hours later which says a lot for a good take-out place.“

“The food is delicious and the the service is excellent!“

“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“

“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! 🇵🇸🖕🇮🇱“
