Middle Eastern Restaurants in Waterloo, ON

“😁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!😁“

“Delicious Food and Outstanding Service!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently visited Tahini's Shawarma, and I must say, the experience was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious – the shawarma was perfectly seasoned, and the portions were generous. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the sauces complemented the meal perfectly.

The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. The restaurant was clean and well-organized, which added to the overall positive atmosphere.

If you're looking for a spot to enjoy mouthwatering shawarma and excellent customer service, Tahini's is the place to be. I highly recommend it to anyone craving quality food!“

“The food was very delicious and fresh. They have an amazing hummus and garlic sauce. We also love their wood fire manaeesh.“

“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!“

“Great flamed chicken 👌 I liked the Mandy as well“

“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.“

“Couldn’t order food there because “nothing is gluten-free”. I eat shawarma all the time from other places so not sure what the issue is Server was very rude so I’ll go somewhere that wants my business I don’t recommend this place“

“😀I discovered the Paramount Fine Foods Restaurant while visiting the casino of Niagara Falls. It appeared to be a gastronomic experience.“

“After 5 years, I drove from Toronto just to revisit Mozy’s.

That massive rotating rotisserie still rules the kitchen, and the aroma? Unchanged magic.

ORDER:Chicken Shawarma Plate (half rice + half fries). Tender shaved chicken, golden rice, crispy fries + warm pita, ALL drowned in their legendary fresh garlic sauce— creamy, punchy, PERFECT.

Why I love it:
✅ Generous portions
✅ Fresh ingredients
✅ Waterloo student landmark— tastes like memories!

Wrap lovers: Their shawarma wraps are solid too!

PS: Come hungry, leave happy (and maybe with leftovers 😉).“
