12 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Waterloo

“I walked 20 minutes just to try the food, and it was worth it. The service is great, they treated me very well and they are very kind and calm. The place is absolutely comfortable. The food was absolutely great! I tried the medium level of spiciness and it was amazing! The salad, the sauce and the chicken was delicious. I ordered a small portion and I couldn't finish because I was very full, so I brought with me back home and finished eating. It was amazing. I'll definitely come back more often. That was my first time trying shawarma, and that was a very good impression! Thank you so much for being so amazing, Osmow's Shawarma!“

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

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

“😁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!😁“

“Just wanted to give a shoutout to Suhana at Lazeez Shawarma. She was super friendly, patient, and made sure my order was perfect. Great service with a smile — definitely made my visit better. Thanks Suhana!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“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.“

“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“

“I stopped in on Sunday with my wife and daughter. Though they were busy the manager managed to find us seating. The menu is ample enough to provide options, I am a big eater, my wife is watching calorie intake and my daughter is a vegetarian but we all found something. The service was excellent and the ambiance of the building provided and excellent backdrop to a wonderful meal.“

“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!!“

“So delicious, had the chicken shawarma for $10 and it was so tasty, friendly owners who are authentic mom and pop store that care for the food and provide homestyle service, the place is neat and clean and give you an old school diner vibe serving middle eastern food, they sell lamb shank and gyros and chicken legs with rice. Will be coming back for more“

“had lunch there today, 2 chicken shwarmas for 17.99. it was AWESOMELY DELICIOUS!!!!. fast, friendly and super nice employees. we highly recommend this place. great value 👍“

“You gotta try lazeez if you come to Waterloo it’s a local specialty that has been here for many years. Toronto Lazeez is no match to Waterloo Lazeez, make sure they squeeze as much garlic sauce as possible onto whatever you order but I wouldn’t suggest going above three lines of hot sauce if you care about your stomach at all“
