I absolutely love Sem Sem. Their food is great and the service is always good. Perfect brunch spot. Definitely make a reservation because they’re always busy!
Semsem is an absolute gem in Ottawa. Their falafel is easily some of the best in the city. Pair it with their rich, tangy tahini and you have a flawless combination. Highly recommended!
I brought my son for a belated Mother's Day treat lunch.
Exactly what you would expect if coming to a Palestinian home. Comfort food and welcoming atmosphere. I'll be back with friends... and the price was right.
