12 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Waterloo

“Big kudos to this location! I ordered food for 12 for an after-work meeting. I placed my order over the phone and they were careful to ask for details about the order. When I arrived to pick everything up later that day, everything was ready to go in neat boxes. The people who packed my order were careful not to cram too much into a single box, and even advised me to crack open the tray of fries as soon as I arrived, so they wouldn't get soggy. They were welcoming and friendly and thanked me multiple times for my order. They even helped me carry it out to my car! I was impressed.

The food itself was great as well. Everything got devoured, and the fries in particular were commended (good thing I cracked open the tray!)

I'd definitely have these guys cater another event.“

“Best place for doners. It’s a must when visiting the market.“

“Best shawarma in town, great freshly baked pita/bread. A regular spot for us.“

“Our whole family gathered on Saturday, 25 strong to celebrate our parents lives. Thank you Millie for great service and a big thank you to the kitchen, Andy and staff , for a fantastic meal. Kids loved the saganaki and the adults all raved about the Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich and of course the souvlaki. Been a regular here for a number of years and have enjoyed every meal. Thank you“

“😁This restaurant is fantastic. I had a gyro with fries. The gyro was quite tasty, and the fries blew my socks off - fresh cut, hot out of the fryer, cooked and seasoned to perfection. The owner was really friendly, and graciously provided some extra fries and samples of the lentil soup as well (which was also tasty!). I hope I can go back again soon!😁“

“I tried the Shawarma Pizza after it was recommended by several others. It was that good I ended up ordering three times in the one week. Staff are super friendly. Would highly recommend.“

“We absolutely loved it! Our son goes to Laurier so when we visit we're always looking for new places. Last night was a special dinner tho, our 25th wedding anniversary with our kids! So thankful I found the place. Food was delicious! Cesesr salad, black cod. Burgers, roast chicken, the Fries, and strawberry gelato! Absolutely delicious! We will be back! 🎉🩷“

“What an amazing day! We went to try something out of our comfort zone and we were not disappointed!! 110% loved this place and can not wait to take other family and friends to enjoy it there as well!!“

“Uncle's Shawarma and Kabob, located in Waterloo, is more than just a Middle Eastern restaurant—it's a truly welcoming, family-run establishment serving up authentic, flavourful, and generously portioned food. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is friendly and inviting, making it a great spot for both quick takeout and a casual family meal. They pride themselves on their Halal offerings and family-oriented culture, which shines through in the service.“

“We visited Shawarma Plus two days ago and tried the Waffle Shawarma—everything was perfect! Ali and the other staff members were an amazing, providing friendly and attentive service. The food was delicious and the place has a great vibe. Highly recommend!“

“Classic shawarma at Waterloo, kind of meme-ified with the students, so that's a unique selling point! It is so unique to the point where several students have stories of absolutely blowing up their toilet, ESPECIALLY in campus washrooms. Go to the DC library, go to DPL, go to MC -- you will see the effects of Lazeez across the student body. Fantastic food though, it is truly a gem.“
