10 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in St. Catharines

“It’s About Thyme is fantastic. Sam is a master . Every time I order from him , it’s always the yummiest thing that I’ve eaten since the last time I ordered from him . I always order the beef Shawarma dinner and believe me it’s the best beef Shawarma anywhere in the city . The prices are excellent. The food is absolutely delicious. Way to go Sam ! I feel so blessed that he brought his culinary artistry to St. Catherines.“

“My wife and I first tried Osmows in toronto back in summer of 2025 and fell in love with it. Over since than we have been coming to this St Catharines location and the food is always fresh and the staff are friendly and amazing. If you like Shawarma’s you will definitely like this place and you should give it a try they definitely won’t disappoint you and you will enjoy the service and food.“

“What a shawarma that was which I order the 🍗 one. Had two of them and wanted the works with everything on it. Spice level was amazing did the hot, but won’t go very very hot. I will feel it 12 hours later. 😆 with a bottle of coke cola it was a feast to remember. Middle Eastern and Arabs sure know how to prepare a fine delicious meal from their home country to 🇨🇦. Glad to get a taste of shawarma when I can, Sultans and this place both a 4 star from me. 😃“

“Fantastic place to enjoy a delicious meal. Cafe Amore has now risen to the top of my list of favourite restaurants. The first time I was there it was a summer dinner outside. I experienced the Black and Blue pasta. Simply delectable. Last night we returned for an early Valentine’s Day dinner. This time I could not resist the Steak Gorgonzola. So incredibly decadent, so delicious. My wife had the Penne Alfredo with Lobster and Crab. Also a beautifully presented dish that was delicious. The Caesar salad is definitely worth the upgrade too. Cozy and warm dining experience with a great staff. We are looking forward to coming back soon. There’s just too many delicious options on that menu. See you soon!“

“We ate here last night and were so impressed with the variety of food and the taste ! My husband is not plant based but ended up ordering and loved everything we ordered ! Highly recommend“

“I always try to get this shawarma whenever I’m at Pen Center. Delicious, fresh and great value. The owner is very nice and super friendly and polite. They cook the bread right in front of you and it’s probably the best pita bread I have ever tried.“

“Lazeez Shawarma in St. Catharines never disappoints. Every time I go, the food is fresh, flavourful, and packed just right. The chicken is always juicy, the garlic sauce is unreal, and the portions are honestly better than anywhere else in the city. You get real value for your money.

The staff are friendly, quick, and they always make the food exactly how you want it. The place is clean, consistent, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve.

Whether it’s a wrap, a plate, or even just fries with garlic sauce, everything hits the spot. If you’re craving quality shawarma in St. Catharines, Lazeez is 100% the place to go.

Highly recommend! 💯🔥🌯“
