“J'ai commandé des sandwich shawarma. Copieux et de bon goût surtout celui au poulet. Les prix sont raisonnables aussi. Personnel à l'écoute.“

“Good greek pizza and garlic potatos its a good place !!!!“

“Très délicieux et généreux.“

“Let me start with the food. The food is really tasty and I live all the option there are for th sides. I've never to this restaurant in person but I did get the pleasure on interacting with the staff and I must say that there are great people working there. I've placed orders online with notes. They call me to clarify what I asked for with such kind attitude. Last time I ordered there, it was a large one. They threw in a free drink and followed notes exactly. Overall 5 starts across the board. Really happy with everything there. :)“

“I saw the owner there every day when I worked at the pharmacy; he still remembered me!I asked what he thought about free advertising, he replied: "I don't have time!"I did. So here I am. Sammy, you're the best, but times are changing!“

“plats très délicieux, grande portion, accueil chaleureux 👍👍👍“

“I was craving shawarma and found this place on my way home from work. I'm new to Ottawa and my shawarma standards are high because my hometown has amazing shawarma that no other spots have come close to and I've tried many places already in Ottawa. Let me tell you, this place DID NOT DISSAPOINT! Amazing shawarma every bit of it! I will definitely be returning. The best I've had in Ottawa by FAR!“

“We went in on whim for brunch after seeing some good reviews and wow. The food was outstanding, which we could tell when we walked in because the restaurant smelled amazing. And It was nicely traditionally decorated and everything was neat and clean. The waiter was very friendly, and the menu was big but clear. We ordered: Kaak (traditional bread - kinda like a much better pita), the halloumi, shakshouka, a meat and cheese pie (large), and a dip I can’t recall the name of but it was made with roasted red peppers, pomegranate molasses and walnuts and was very nicely presented with some nice olive oil in the middle of the bowl of dip. I also had the minted lemonade. All came out together for a delicious feast. The service was attentive but subtle. And when I went up to pay, everyone in the kitchen seemed happy and were having a good time and the lady at the cash was also very sweet. Seems like a family run operation. 100% will be back soon.“

“Absolutely delicious hidden gem in Ottawa. Easily the best Chicken Souvlaki I've had and I've tried alot of different places! Do not skip this stop if you have the chance to go! It is a must to eat here and we will definetly be back.“

“Outstanding experience, from the service to the food. I took Istanbul Basha and felt could feed 2 persons, keep up the great work“

“We had a great experience with our online order of 2 chicken grills. The food was ready to be picked up about 30 minutes after the order. The chicken grills were plentiful and absolutely delicious. A great experience!“

“Hard to find at first, but security was super helpful and pointed us straight to the food court. Once inside, it was easy to see this place is brand new and well maintained.
The food court itself is clean, bright, and feels modern. Washrooms are nice and well kept. Bonus: there’s a water bottle refill station right behind the tray return area, which is really convenient.
Food-wise, Shawarma Maestro lives up to the hype. Other reviewers consistently praise the fresh, flavorful shawarma, generous portions, and friendly, fast service. I’d agree: the chicken shawarma (large) is a big portion, though it leaned a little dry. The beef shawarma, on the other hand, was excellent—the beef is very soft and tender.
Great spot overall—would definitely come back.“

“I've been coming here for a few months now, and the food is always consistently amazing and delicious!
I highly recommend it to anyone who's in Bells Corners. They have the best Greek food and the best shawarma. The place itself is very cozy, and the staff are always friendly and very helpful.“

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

“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!“

“Stop reading this and go. Sooooooo delicious…. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

Thank you guys so much for your amazing service and making a hard day from home so much better !“

“you have to try the prosciutto mushroom pasta.... omg... it is deliiiiicius !!! creamy... perfect! everybody loved their meals... Hidden gem in west Ottawa. Friendly service as well.“

“Great plates and a very big heart 🤗“

“Ordered the mixed platter and let me just say WOW! Best shawarma in Ottawa south for sure. The platter was like an explosion of flavours, meats were extremely tender and well seasoned, sauces were on point. Genuinely a 10/10 meal. Definitely recommend to anyone living in the south of Ottawa, won’t disappoint!“

“The food was great! Amazing customer service. They provided us separate clean plates for chicken and vegetables. Table was clean as well. Will try again. I think the toilet ventilation was not working properly, hopefully they can fix it soon“

“Just discovered this fantastic little gem in Findlay Creek! We each ordered a donair, and it was the best I've ever tasted. The portions were incredibly generous. They offer a great selection of desserts.
The service was excellent. The staff were genuinely happy to have our business and were very patient while we took our time deciding what to order from their extensive menu. With so many tempting options, it wasn't easy to choose!
Highly recommended—we'll definitely be back.“

“Had a great experience at Andalos Food Court , Hussein and Zoya provided outstanding customer service friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout. They made sure everything was perfect and created a warm atmosphere that made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was excellent, and their professionalism and positive attitude truly stood out. Highly recommend Andalos, and a big thank you to Hussein and Zoya for the amazing service“

“Highly recommend! I was hesitant at first because I had no idea what the majority of menu items were. I was completely blown away. I am a very picky person, but the menu and how the food was explained in full detail, no matter the question by our incredible waitress was the first sign this is the place to be! A huge thank you to the waitress especially, the staff as a whole and a huge high-five to the chefs for clearly putting your all in to every single menu item. I was fortunate enough to run in to one of the owners and give my nothing short of positive feedback. He was so grateful and humble. Keep it up all! Would recommend to anyone. Will be back!“

“We enjoyed our dining experience very much! The ambiance and service was fantastic! The food was fresh and delicious with excellent size portions! Highly recommend!“

“I've been eatting Greeks to go since 2006. I've moved acrossed the country and I crave them so much. They have remembered me and when I come back to Ottawa, they are very accommodating. Every single time I go back, I HAVE to have their delicious food. If you want to try, mouth water food, eat here. Want great serve, eat here. Want a meal you won't forget, EAT HERE..... Mmmmmmm, now I wish I was there, trust me, its that good.“

“I love their shawarmas and you can also order potato 🥔 chunks topped regular or hot 🔥 garlic 🧄sauce.
They also sell a variety of exotic bottled fruit juices, such as mango 🥭 and I think Guava as well. 🤔
You cannot go wrong when visiting and ordering something from this long time running food stand, because of their good variety of healthy foods. 😛👍“

“The Fattoush is amazing but unfortunately since our return to work the portions for the fattoush salad are much smaller and for the price of almost $15 it’s difficult to justify. Prior to the pandemic the fattoush portion used to be worth while. I know prices are climbing in everything but dissapointed in the portion size.“

“Visiting Ottawa from England and just wanted a quick snack on a Monday night. This place was near, popped in ordered a Shwarma and got to say one of the best I've had. Very tasty and lucky the people of Ottawa. If you haven't tried get down there!“

“Great place! I especially like the minced beef kebob. All good people there. Marcel works hard and makes excellent daily specials. Joe (Nasser) is very friendly and funny. Thanks again for the book guys ;) (The Golden Mean). I highly recommend this place and I hope to be back soon.“

“love the food keep it up buddy 👍 👌 🙌“

“Great food. Fresh, full of flavour and plentiful. The owners are wonderful.“

“I was sad when this place replaced the Oka’s that used to be here as it was my favourite shawarma spot, but I’ve got to say I’ve been here a number of times now and it’s carrying the torch quite well. Solid wraps and poutines for sure.“

“My first time tries this shawarma place. The food is good. The place is clean and big for a big group or families. I ordered mix shawarma plate on weekend deal and it was $19.99 with drink as well (plus $1 if you order mix). Maybe just my preference, I found the beef texture was abit “weird” (like abit softer to compare with other places) but overall, I love everything else. I will come back for sure. I forgot to take pic of my food. The large place is good for 2 people eating and being full. My husband and I ate them all so quick.“

“Delicious food Masha ALLAH“

“Honestly i thought this place was going to be over hyped but it met my expectations. Service was impeccable and our server was attentive and very friendly. Food was delicious and worth the price, filling and a good portion sizes too. Octopus was cooked perfectly, my steak was made rare which I asked for and my husbands cod was delicious on a bed of beans and clams.

Highly recommend the pear drink that comes in a bird shaped glass (grey goose pear) and the med martini. The bread and butter is a really good appy too but it’s listed under the sides.

Beautiful ambiance, decor and super comfy seating. It starts to get busy after 830-9pm. When we arrived at 730 it was extremely quiet.

Will def come back and recommend checking this place out.“

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

“Went there for Sunday brunch with some friend. delicious! It is busy, so you can't stay their too long to mingle. that's the only negative part.“

“Was amazing but now with the new owners the serving sizes have decreased and prices increased and the flavour is not there. Was my go to as I was addicted but now it is not the same and for me now worth it anymore.“

“Food atmosphere and services were awesome during my visit from Toronto to Ottawa When I was eating my kofta sandwich I was thinking that I m eating it in ain diyab so nice and delicious Omar is a great server I m thinking to return back there when I will go to Ottawa Thank you guys“

“I was on a quick visit to ottawa and I saw this lovely restaurant and I am happy that i went in. The owner is very welcoming , and talented in drawing and cooking. The kafta was different and very tasty! I will sure visit it again when i am around.“

“Shawarma molto buono, lo consiglio,In realtà, è tutto delizioso. 😋“

“I have had a chaotic year, and Shawarma Prince has been the absolute life saver to eat healthy. As a type 1 diabetic, the food here is healthy, low carb and really yummy! I go to the Merivale road location and the staff here are the absolute best! If you are looking for a healthy, affordable, mouth watering meal, this is the place to go...5 out of 5 stars. JJ...“

“Ordered a chicken shawarma on Ogilvie road, which was delicious and big.“
