Recieved a chicken shawarma through Uber. The chicken was absolutely raw in most places!! Beyond disgusting and will never ever eat here.

There are A LOT of shawarma places in Stittsville/Kanata. But not like this one. The staff is so friendly, and remembered both me and my order after only going there once. You can feel like passion and love that they put into their business and their food the moment you walk in the door. The quality of food, flavour and portions are amazing. I won’t go anywhere else.

Ordered the mixed platter. Delicious. Scrumptious. Such friendly staff. They have a real pride in their cuisine. My husband, & son both love their shawarmas. Best in town.

Was in Kanata for work and decided to try this place. Order large shawarma wrap. The guy working there is nice, professional and he prepared the food well but the shawarma did not taste flavourful it’s just I was eating normal chicken meat. The boiled potato and garlic added good taste but the meat was not it. Place was clean and welcoming. Will give it another try if I am in the area and to try other menu items.

We have been going to this Shawarma Place and I love the Food as well as the workers! Kudos to Abdul who is always my server and ensures that i get the most delicious shawarma! Very friendly staff and atmosphere. The price is reasonable for the quality and quantity of the servings. They deserve more than 5 stars!

This is my go-to shawarma restaurant in Ottawa. It's not the closest to my home, but it's the one with the best shawarma sandwiches and the friendliest service. I have to admit that I customise my order to my liking, so I can't review the general sandwich where people just ask for everything in the sandwich, but then again everyone likes their food differently, and that's the beauty of this restaurant, the staff are genuinely happy to make that sandwich or plate as you like it to be.

Family plate is amazing. A big container of salad and then another container of meats and potatoes and rice wi the a few pitas. I’ve been coming here for a few years and the quality is consistently good. Service is friendly. Their hummus is very good and salad always fresh. Sometimes their beef has delicious juicy fatty pieces and mixed with the white sauce they drizzle on top is perfect. Beware of the seagull in the parking lot! He tried to take my pita bread!

Disappointing Experience - This used to be my go-to shawarma spot, but after my recent visit, I m beyond disappointed. I ordered a large chicken shawarma wrap with garlic potatoes, and the service was shockingly unprofessional. The shawarma was made with mostly raw chicken, and the visible pieces of uncooked chicken skin were unacceptable. As for the garlic potatoes, they were disgusting and completely undercooked. I used to love this place, but after this experience, I m done. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

Best Shawarma in Town! Shawarma Prince is a gem! Their shawarmas are bursting with flavor tender, juicy meat, fresh veggies, and the best garlic sauce Ive ever had. The pita holds everything together perfectly, making every bite a delight. The staff is friendly and efficient, ensuring top-notch quality every time. Whether dining in or grabbing takeout, Shawarma Prince delivers an unbeatable shawarma experience. Highly recommend!

Love this Persian run shawarma shop I ve been going for years now and I m never disappointed. Food quality and generous portion size is fantastic. Can only speak for this specific location.

September 22, 2024

Food was not good at all . The shawarma was prepared nicely in front of me but it was definitely not left on the grill long enough and it the shawarma was soggy and gross. The potatoes were not boiled or baked long enough and still crunchy in the middle. Not feeling well. Very dissatisfied.

August 22, 2024

I recently visited shawarma prince and was quite disappointed with the experience. The workers seemed unprofessional and lacked basic skills in preparing shawarma. When I opened the wrap, it was poorly assembled, making it almost impossible to eat without creating a mess. The wrap fell apart during the meal, forcing me to eat it in a way that was both inconvenient and frustrating. I hope the management can address these issues and train their staff properly. For now, I cant recommend this place for a good shawarma experience.

Never going back. Ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich combo with potato s. I bit into a huge piece of plastic! Not even joking, thought it was a bone, took it out and it was a big white piece of plastic. The wrap it s self was completely destroyed upon delivery also. Couldn t even finish it because at the end, it was all spilled into the paper. No fork for potato s so I had to get messy with the fingers. You ll never see me again

Was having a really rough day, really needed something to eat so I decided to try. Everything was fresh, juicy, and tasty. Service was extremely quick and person was very friendly. Large chicken sandwich and yogurt drink. For some it may be a bit saucy at the end so if you do not like it saucy maybe ask for a bit less! The restaurant itself looked very nice and clean. Vegetarian options: Salad and falafel Parking: Lots

Went to their bathroom and was horrified at how dirty it was, it looked like it hadn t been cleaned in days if not weeks. Pee all over, streaks in the toilet that looked like they had been there for a long time, dirty clothes in the corner. And this was just the women s. Seeing how dirty and not well kept their public bathroom was that their customers would see, made me disgusted to eat their food. I can only imagine what the stuff customers don t see look like. An establishment that sells food should have top notch cleanliness everywhere.

By far the best shwarma in the Ottawa area. Very generous portions and all the toppings you desire. Their beef and chicken shwarma taste amazing and they load on the meat. I have never been able to finish my plate in one sitting. I have tried over 20 shwarma restaurants in the Ottawa area and this is my No.1.

Not a fan of posting negative reviews but this was pretty awful - the chicken was extremely fatty to the point I had to pick apart the good chicken and the fatty chicken the beef was dry and hard, the potatoes were extremely oily and soggy and the person who wrapped my shawarma obviously didn t know how to wrap a shawarma; I basically had a plate of chicken and toppings with a side of soggy unwrapped pita. Will not be back.

I recently moved to Stittsville and was looking for my go to Shawarma place and I think I finally found one. This place is very simple and serves fresh and hot food. All the veggies, salad is freshly cut and served in front of you. The shawarma meat is cooking in the background and the orders are going left right center out of the door. They are very busy specially during lunch and dinner time where people queue up for takeout a Family platter or meal for two in the form of small platters or just a shawarma/sandwich. The price is reasonable for one person meal with shawarma costing less than $10 and comes with huge portion of ingredients. The flavour is to die for. If you are near Terry fox road and want to eat something wholesome and fresh this is a must try. They offer veg and vegan options too.

Stopped in for lunch while working in town. Nice little place with very friendly guys. I had the salad with chicken shawarma. It was awesome. Chicken was delicious with nice fresh salad greens. The hummus was good but the garlic dip was terrific. It was creamy and was excellent add to the salad. I love chicken shawarma salads and the garlic dip was the best I have had. I haven t stopped thinking about the salad since i left. If you are in Kanata you have to stop in and try their food. Great guys and great food

I visited this place on a wednesday at around 11.30 am, the chicken and wedges were absolutely fresh, just the bread was a bit bad, or maybe the guy didnt know how to wrap it because half way through the sandwich tore up. Also he put way more chicken than needed. It was a good shawarma tho.

December 22, 2022

Two items missing from the order. They claimed all items were in the bag.

I was wondering why the chicken tastes plain with zero seasoning... I was biting into my shawarma and was actually kind of put off by the plain chicken taste.. We all know what a plain unseasoned piece of chicken tastes like.. Unappetizing.. Shouldnt the meat have some marinade or seasoning on it to mask the very plain chicken aftertaste? I didnt like that about shawarma prince.

Asked for combo #1 with fries but the employee told me they don t have fries only potatoes, but I can see the potatoes aren t fully cooked but I made the mistake and tried them since they don t have fries. They were hard and cold. The place on the inside is so dirty I don t know how this place is still open? If a restaurant has a dirty front imagine the back? Like the kitchen area. It needs a renovation and cleaning. There are so many shawarma spots in Ottawa.

Tried this place for the first time tonight and unfortunately regret it. My fattoush salad was barely dressed lettuce with a single green pepper, and the falafels were equally as bad. They were super salty and tasted burnt, which kind of tainted the whole pita. Ill at least say that the garlic sauce was half decent!

Ive been going here for 8+ years and the quality of food and friendly service remains unchanged. Crazy large platters filled with freshly made food. Everything is cooked to perfection and well flavoured. A great lunch/dinner take out option!

This is the only place Ive eaten a shawarma that I actually like! My family has been talking about this place being the best for years. The shawarmas are huge and theres lots of meat and sauce, unlike most other places.

We picked up the family plate which includes choice of beef or chicken (or both) shawarma, potatoes, salad and on the side hummus, garlic dip and pita bread if you wish to make a wrap. For two, we had leftovers to enjoy the next day. Ready while you wait. Weve also ordered the fattoush plate and combo!! Every dish is fresh and so tasty!!

They screwed up my order 2/2 times now. I ordered a salad with my meal and they gave me more potatoes, I asked for spicy garlic sauce on my sandwich both times and they gave me regular garlic sauce. The food tastes good but the sandwiches were wrapped so poorly that it wasnt enjoying to eat at all.

I got a platter here recently. Overall mediocre and stale. The rice had definitely gone bad as it had an off smell and was hard to chew that I had to throw it out. Watch out what you order here as you can easily pick up food poisoning.

I ordered 3 falafel sandwiches and 1 side of tabouli for take out. The sandwiches were good but the tabouli had clear gone bad and should never have been served to us. Disappointing.

Enjoyed the family platter. I was able to feed 5 people for about 3 meals. A lot of food which was great! It tasted very delicious. Loved everything about it. My only critique of this restaurant is their customer service. When I entered, I had to wait about 5 minutes to get their attention (there was no line, I was the only customer waiting to be helped). He continued to get together other online orders while I waited patiently. Especially with the pandemic, I wouldnt want people lurking around (just get in and out). He finally helped me when I was fake coughing to get his attention.

This place is so cheap on their chicken in their platters its unbelievable! I knew this place was gonna try and go cheap on the chicken as soon as they started scooping in the rice and potatoes... They filled up my plate on potatoes and rice (the cheap stuff) so there would be no room for chicken... Then they put two SMALL scoops of chicken on the platter.... I go to call them out on it and the guy has the nerve to say to me are you serious?... I told him YES I AM! I told him that he filled up the plate with rice and potatoes so there would be no room for chicken... The employee was very rude and I had to argue with him to give me one more small pitiful scoop of chicken... LAST TIME GOING TO THIS PLACE! Paid $18 literally for a plate of rice and potatoes

Chicken Shawarma was excellent!

December 22, 2021

Worst shawarma we have ever had!! Very disappointed!! The shawarma sandwiches were soggy ,cold and dry chicken. We ordered 3 portions of poutine that tasted everything but a poutine. The potatoes are not French fries they are skinned oven roasted potatoes maybe fried after that with gravy and cheese!! The potato was cold and hard . Weird taste!!! My kids loves poutine but this was big NO. Paid over $70 for something that was thrown away. The falafel were cold and showered with tahini sauce as I was expecting them worm with sauce on the side. Not recommended!!

Disappointed in the service. After waiting for a while in line, instead of being prepared a fresh to-go platter for us the server simply took a pre-assembled platter (possibly one that someone didnt want) and added the meat to the platter. The problem is, as the customer we dont know how long that platter has been sitting there for, and secondly we didnt get to choose our option of rice.

I love their mix plate

December 22, 2021

Terrible service - Ordered through Uber Eats and delivered within expected time, but that is as far as it goes. I ordered a large beef shawarma combo with spicy garlic and this comes with side of potatoes and a can of pop. I ordered a medium side dish of turnip and pickles and well. What I received was 1 large chicken shawarma combo with regular garlic sauce (with a side of potatoes), 1 can of sprite (with Uber fees nd tip I paid almost $35. I did not get the extra side of turnips and pickles that I paid for, or the beef shawarma I ordered. I tried for 45 minutes to call them to get my order corrected with no luck; I called repeatedly after 8:10pm for 30 minutes straight (not during peak dinner service hours) to try to speak with someone and get my order corrected and delivered to me. They did not pick up their phone once, and they do not have voicemail set up so customers can leave a message. Next I tried to get some feedback and called the Barrhaven location to find out if any of the Ottawa locations have same ownership because I want to talk to the owner to get my meal corrected or reimbursed, they answer their phones. I explained what happened and was informed they are all Franchise locations - so different owners. So very disappointed and will not order from there again - I feel ripped off, I am now hangry, and upset that have been forced to spent another $25 to order a beef shawarma and Tabouleh from a competitor.

I ordered a chicken plate and a beef plate. Apparently I got a dry meat plate for the money I paid. It was the worst shawarma Ive ever tasted in my life. Also the taste of the pickle was so bad,I could not finish the meal. It was definitely disappointing.

Impatient staff and rice not cooked correctly

December 22, 2021

One of the worst places in Ottawa. These guys shouldn t be in the business. Ordered twice and only got half of the order twice !!!!!!! First time called the delivery guy, he told me they were very busy and may be screwed the order. Gave them another try today because they are nearby, ordered 4 sandwiches and got only 2 !!!! Never seen this before and they claim that the delivery guy took them ( the guy is highly rated delivery guy, why should I believe the owner). Called the place and the guy told me just apply for refund through uber, what a bad ethics !!!! Looks like they are doing this intentionally to get double payment or something. Okay, lesson learned and will never order from that place.
