Delicious shawarma. The wrap is perfectly grilled with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. Inside, everything is super fresh — juicy tomatoes, crunchy onions, and the seasoning is on point. The chicken looks tender and well-marinated, and the mix of sauces gives it a nice balance between creamy and slightly spicy. Every bite feels full, flavorful, and satisfying. Overall, it’s one of those sandwiches that looks good and tastes even better. I would definitely order it again — highly recommended!

We visited Ottawa for a day trip and stopped by this place for lunch after seeing its high rating on Google. It did not disappoint—we totally get the hype! The service was friendly and welcoming. We ordered a mixed plate, and the portion was huge for the price, easily enough to feed two people to the fullest. The ingredients were fresh, and the meat had a nice, crisp texture. The restaurant was also well-kept and clean. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience here.

The best shawarma in town right now! Absolutely insane portions — you get so much food, and it’s incredibly delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and totally worth it. Will definitely be coming back more often!

Crazy friendly service, the owner is a local legend in Ottawa’s deep shawarma lore. Massive portions, easily comparable if not a tad bigger than what palace offers, with freshness and flavor to match the portions. I will be back for sure, highly recommend over any other place in Ottawa atm, and this is coming from a self proclaimed Ottawa shawarma expert. You owe it to yourself and the amazing staff to at least try it once!

5+ stars! Visiting Ottawa and found this gem on Google. Came based on the high rating and amazing reviews and we loved it! Super friendly and honest service and very bright clean establishment. The kind gentleman recommended us to get the family platter for 3 instead of getting 3 separate meals so we could save some money. The family platter was $59.99 and we had a lot of leftovers because the portion was HUGE! Everything was fresh and so tasty. The platter could easily feed 4 or 6 people. We ate in the restaurant as they had a few tables for dining and they provided us with plates and utensils. We were also able to get covers and a bag for our leftovers. Lots of flow for takeout for this amazing shawarma stop. The photo doesn’t do the size justice for how high the platter was filled. Amazing portion and value! Will definitely come again when we are in Ottawa!

Humungous amount of mixed meat shawarma, beef and chicken. Staff keep putting mountain and mountain of chicken and beef. Lots of fresh vegetables too. Chicken is moist, not dry. The chicken sandwich is big, it is medium size, with the right toast and crisp. With this amount, plate is only $22 and sandwich is $9. Best value for your money. Definitely beats any other shawarma in Ottawa.

Walked in and presented with a sample of Lentil soup. It was delicious on a windy, cold day yesterday. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. The food: Ordered a Mix platter and Chicken platter yesterday. It’s the best Shawarma in Ottawa. Will only eat here when in town. Substantial portions. All fresh, flavourful and delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal!
