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!“

“My absolute FAVOURITE shawarma place. Can't sing its praises enough. Extremely friendly staff, generous portions (no stinginess with the meat!), fresh and delicious food, all very reasonably priced. Family run place, I think there's exactly one employee there who isn't part of the family.

While I usually get a beef shawarma wrap or plate here, I NEED to shout out the falafel - it's by far the best falafel I've had in the city. Not the best I've had period, but for Ottawa it goes hard as hell. Wish I knew about this place for the 13 years I was vegetarian, because it would've been a lifesaver. None of that dry stuff that plagues this city. Pretty sure the mom makes it.

Really cannot recommend this place enough. I wish I lived closer.“

“Just discovered this fantastic little gem in Findlay Creek! We each ordered a donair, and it was the best I've ever tasted. The portions were incredibly generous. They offer a great selection of desserts.
The service was excellent. The staff were genuinely happy to have our business and were very patient while we took our time deciding what to order from their extensive menu. With so many tempting options, it wasn't easy to choose!
Highly recommended—we'll definitely be back.“

“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!“

“I was on a quick visit to ottawa and I saw this lovely restaurant and I am happy that i went in. The owner is very welcoming , and talented in drawing and cooking. The kafta was different and very tasty! I will sure visit it again when i am around.“

“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.“

“We had build a bowl and ordered the cauliflower which we picked out our own bases, toppings and sauces. We both loved it and highly recommend this place. Excellent service and we will definitely be going back.“

“We ordered the family meal on Sunday and it was excellent, we often pick shawarma sandwiches and always fresh and delicious. The family meal came with all the fixings, salad with dressing on the side. The meal was ready and hot on our confirmed pickup time. Great neighbourhood restaurant. Thank you Shawarma Rosana!
