“I don’t write reviews often but this is my go-to spot in Ottawa. Been coming here for 3 years now and it never disappoints.

Incredibly tasty, and great value for the portion size they give. Fantastic family run business.“

“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.“

“AYOOOOOO!!! You know that’s guy that throws his glasses when the food is so good?!? That. This. So freaking good!

Y’all better run. Don’t walk. Come eat here!

This girl just made a fresh tortilla right in front of me!!! So soft and light crisp, heaven in a mouthful. And let’s give a standing ovation for the flavourful and juicy butter chicken filling.

And let me tell you, the portion size, I legit said “ holy smokes that thing’s big”✨ the price for it, so worth it✨ the friendly guy behind the counter ✨✨

I want to eat this every day now!!! Almost cried when it was all gone ❤️❤️“

“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 😊“

“I can’t tell you the last time I had such a good, authentic falafel and shawarma. It’s the closest to how it’s made back home! We went with a big group and the patrons were so kind. We’ll definitely stop here every time we’re back in ottawa!!“

“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.“

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

“What a wonderful experience and a beautiful place to enjoy a meal at. I had an unforgettable experience here with the most delicious shawarma on homos and alcazar dessert I have ever had. If you are in town you definitely need to visit this hidden gem. I recommend this for anyone looking to try authentic middle Eastern and Mediterranean food. Cheers to the owner and staff!“

“This place is yet another Great hidden gem. Me and my partner had a classic chicken shawarma and i decided to give their chicken poutine a try and i was incredibly impressed by how good the poutine was! The shawarma was really good, not dry at all and very well prepared. Ive been to my fair share of shawarma places and this one is in my top 3 for sure.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“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! 🇵🇸🖕🇮🇱“

“Best Shawarma in Ottawa !!“
