Everything is good I always go there and always take my friends/family.
The only thing I wish there's ice for the drinking water, water not cold at all.

The best place to go if you’re feeling nostalgic for an authentic middle eastern breakfast! I brought my friend here to give her a taste of the flavors I grew up with and it did not disappoint! Everything was excellent, the hummus & falafel, fatteh, fool, manaeesh, all of it! They were even playing Fairouz which was the cherry on top.

I rarely rate a place with 5 stars on all categories. This place is an exception, the ambiance is amazing, the staff are extremely kind and helpful, and the food tastes like it was prepared in heaven! Not exaggerating! I washroom is spacious and super clean, and it has a corner for diapers changing.

Cozy place with authentic, simple, yet fine Middle Eastern cuisine. Delicious food with excellent service. We tried Musabaha, Meat Maqla, and Zaatar…each one is tastier than the other. We’ll be back soon to try the rest of the menu. Excellent spot for brunch/lunch. Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Eggcellent With Sojok and Fatteh Yogurt. The Semsem Drink Karak chai was particularly delightful. I would like to express my gratitude to the waiter for promptly providing me with a hot cup of tea.

SemSem is one of the best brunch places in Ottawa. The food is top notch and their quality is always consistent. The service is always friendly and impeccable. Reservation strongly recommended but they'll always try to seat us if possible. Food wise, they make the best eggplant fatteh I've ever had! I also love the po-pie. Definitely a staple. We go regularly and will continue doing so. Also small business gets bonus points!
The food is really good .thanks nahida for ur great service and beautiful smile always

The food in this place is absolutely amazing! The cheese pie was absolutely light and flaky, cheese was tinder, light and flavourful! The meat pie is spices lightly but perfectly, I tasted every spice put into the beef, it’s perfectly balanced and complex while not being overwhelming! Over all I would strongly recommend this place for everyone!
