Middle Eastern Restaurants near Chelsea, QC

“If you seek a dance party of flavours bursting in your mouth, run to this special culinary gem! I happen to be visiting Chelsea, Quebec, for the week, to house/dog-sit for my cousin & his family while they are on vacation. I saw the 4.9 star review status when I did a restaurant google search and couldn’t resist checking out this spot…and all i can say is WOW! They’re also very clean, courteous and efficient. I had a plate with everything they offered behind the glass that you can pick from. The portions are enormous and very good value, covering me for lunch AND dinner. I shall return, over and over! YUM!!!“

“Great service, friendly staff, best chicken shawarma I’ve had in a long time, loaded with chicken and fresh ingredients. Great price and value for money!“

“I don’t write reviews often but this is my go-to spot in Ottawa. Been coming here for 3 years now and it never disappoints.

Incredibly tasty, and great value for the portion size they give. Fantastic family run business.“

“As a vegetarian of over twenty years, I’ve had my fair share of falafels — and this little place might just serve the best I’ve ever tasted! Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, tender inside, with outstanding hummus and bright, tangy pickled vegetables. Absolutely delicious!“

“Highly recommended best kebob in ottawa smell test like kebob not like other junks.“

“Really great food and quick turnaround. Food was extremely tender and service is impeccable. Both the chicken and lamb are equally as good.“

“We had build a bowl and ordered the cauliflower which we picked out our own bases, toppings and sauces. We both loved it and highly recommend this place. Excellent service and we will definitely be going back.“

“What a wonderful experience and a beautiful place to enjoy a meal at. I had an unforgettable experience here with the most delicious shawarma on homos and alcazar dessert I have ever had. If you are in town you definitely need to visit this hidden gem. I recommend this for anyone looking to try authentic middle Eastern and Mediterranean food. Cheers to the owner and staff!“

“I discovered La Joie Shawarma about two years ago, and ever since, it’s been part of my weekly routine. The food quality is consistently top everything tastes fresh, and you can tell a lot of care goes into each dish.

The garlic sauce and hummus are incredibly flavorful and perfectly made. As for the beef and the chicken shawarma sandwich, all dressed with spicy sauce and sesame, it’s hands down the best shawarma I’ve had in the Ottawa–Gatineau area. Nothing else comes close. I honestly can’t enjoy shawarma from anywhere else now.

The owner and his team are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Just a tip: try to get there early at lunchtime because it gets busy really fast!

“Majid our waiter was super nice, efficient and the food was brought to our table in a very coordinated well (hummus and babaghanoug and the salad before the grillades). We didn’t feel at any point that we were missing something at the table and he was very generous and courteous“

“How disgraceful. No fundraiser for the millions of Palestinian Men, Women and children devestated, dead, dying during a n ongoing massacre. You'd think filthy rich Ottawa Lebanese Resto owners would do something! DO SOMETHING! 🇵🇸🖕🇮🇱“

“Best shawarma in Ottawa. I recommend also fries and chicken with special sauce on top.“

“i had 2 junior bowl and kafta combo ,
Honestly i wasn’t expecting that from boustan but they just changed my thoughts about them yesterday.
They have a good customer service and best part is they doesn’t charge you for some stuffs which other restaurants would charge you .they will not say no to you but will let you know gently that it was extra but we are giving you ,so you can let us know next time before you pay
And food were good specially the amount of meat they give it’s fine to be honest ,compared to other places.
And you can hangout with friends here or can bring your family .
I will come again next week for sure“

“We had our shwarma on saj bread and it was awesome! The potatoes and garlic were also really good!. It's unfortunate the location is on Bank St. since we live in Stittsville
and have to eat the shwarma that's offered out there which has gone downhill. We will definitely come again when we're out this way though.“

“great place, great food, great energy“

“The meat is cut with style, the sandwiches are wrapped with elegance, and the plates are made with love. An unforgettable experience every time, and the food portions are as generous as they are delicious. Make no mistake, you will want to come back inside every time you walk past this location, and you will never be disappointed.“

“Excellent food, reasonable prices! Highly recommend. Nancy Pond“

“I would ignore all the negative comments found on here, because I’ve been eating regularly at this place for over 15 years, never have i been disappointed, no matter who was serving behind the counter. The owner takes his business seriously. The staff is always very polite and friendly. The food is always fresh and of best quality. I have tried many Shawarma places all around and this is the one I alway keep coming back to. Thank you for making the experience so good and satisfying every time I come by.“
