The saj chicken shawarma wrap is amazing! As well as the chicken shawarma plates and falafel! We are definitely going back to try out the rest of the menu. I was very surprised as the prices were VERY Reasonable! They are always busy so just be kind and wait because it’s worth the wait

What a find. I just found this place seeing an advertising on Facebook. Since I never heard of this place, I thought I was on to Oshawa's best kept secret. When I went there last week for my first time, I realized it wasn't a secret at all as the place was packed. I ordered a Chicken Shawarma with all the trimmings. It was absolutely delicious. Tonight I treated my two grown up sons to eat in. We had the Mix on fries or rice. It too was amazing. Great friendly service and big portions. I took half of mine home. I certainly will be back for more and spread the word.

Those guys are my new go-to spot in Oshawa for incredible shish tawook! The chicken is tender, juicy, and seasoned perfectly, with each bite bursting with authentic flavors. The portions are generous, and the sides pair beautifully with the meal. The staff are fantastic – friendly and attentive. I'll certainly be returning soon. Thanks Ayman, Karam and Elias for the wonderful experience.

Shawarmas here were great. The family platter is very unique, packed with flavor at an excellent price. It's probably the best place for platters. Customer service on point, very friendly. However, the area is pretty sketchy.

Its busy, even our pre arranged take out time was 10 or 15 minutes late. The wait was definitely worth it as the food was excellent. The shawarma in particular, was the standout. Kebabs were good but very small portion sized. I will definitely be back for the shawarma though!

I tried mix shawarma with rice and salad- I liked it. Only drawback was there was too much sauces. But still it was really tasty. So keep an eye on while pouring the sauces. Also tried the chicken skewers. Only 4 pieces were there, but that was also good. Parking: Parking for 5 cars. Rest need to find parking on road it seems

Wife wanted this for her Bday. Food was OK, the meat was moist and that is the most important. The wrap itself was pretty greasy, they are made different ways. I know that the flattop would have grease. But the food was good. I wouldnt stay there to eat a little packed with people just hanging about. Im not a crowd guy Didnt care for the tip prompt when I was picking up. But I guess that is the way it is now.

We had the chicken Saj wrap and love it. The small size is quite large and they are very generous with all toppings and meat. Love the last touch of garlic and hummus on top with meat sitting on top of the first bite with a touch of pomegranate molasses. Probably one of the best shawarma wraps I ve had!

Extremely slept on! If you haven t tried this place and you love shawarma . Go now! seriously thought about gatekeeping this one. How did I live in Oshawa my whole life and never try this! I will say the wait can be longer than what they might tell you because it can get busy and hard to estimate but it s definitely worth it! I suggest eating in and having it nice and fresh for your first experience. There aren t too many tables because it s a small space but they have some outside as well to make up for it. The workers are very kind as well and look to understand rather then dismiss, they still remained very kind and patient even though they were very busy at the time which can be stressful. The presentation of the food was beautiful and the taste is so juicy yes crisp. Lots of sauce WHICH I LOVE. Make sure you come hungry and leave a seat for me I ve tried their chicken shawarma, beef shawarma and falafel shawarma and all were delicious! Vegetarian options: The falafel wrap is great! The falafel is Not dry like most places! My vegetarian best friend doesn t like falafel and she came here, decided to try it and liked it!

This food is delicious! I had the shawarma chicken, rice and salad plate and it was so good! It seemed very flavourful and nicely seasoned. The chicken was tender and didnt have chewy bits. I am looking forward to going back! I only gave 4/5 stars for atmosphere as it is a small place and is a little crowded if you want to dine in, but it is definitely possible.

Shawarmas are amazing specially chicken. But kebabs are not good, very skinny kebabs with barely any meat on them and some of them were burnt when I ordered mixed Kebab Platter last time. I think Im only gonna stick to their chicken shawarma on a saj bread. Absolutely love their pomegranate molasses. Parking: Only 4 spots which are to be shared with laundry store.

There shawarma has potential but they have issue with the process of making, They are not cutting the shawarma meat freshly in-front of us and keeping the meat in the pot, which makes the meat inside of shawarma cold, outside they are toasting which is hot but inside the meat is chewy and cold. I tried there shawarma third time but still the same process. Hope they will see this and prepare accordingly

You have not lived until you have tried Reetaj. Absolutely by far the best Shawarma I have ever had and I ve had a lot including Shawarmas all over Toronto where there is authenticity. Reetaj is as authentic as it gets. The mixed meat Saj wrap is full of flavour. Everything is just so unbelievably good. Do yourself a favour and try Reetaj. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

Ive been here four times in the past month; the food is absolutely delicious and freshly made each time. Believe me, it would be more frequent if I didnt stop myself. It is by far the best value and best-tasting authentic shawarma in Oshawa. The saj bread is tender, and the meats are perfectly browned with crispy edges yet always juicy. If youre a foodie like me, then you know all about the Maillard reaction - browning = flavour. You may have to wait a few minutes while they grill your wrap to perfection, but it is worth every flavourful bite! The owner was even kind enough to give us a free platter all because we jokingly asked for it. Do yourself a favour and come here; stop wasting your dollars or calorie macros at subpar mainstream franchises and support a local family-run business instead!

We had the pleasure of dining at Reetaj Middle Eastern Restaurant today with my two daughters and a good old Ahgani friend who wanted to treat us to some good old Middle Eastern food, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish! We ordered both the chicken and beef shawarmas, and the food was a delight to our taste buds. The shawarma was tender, juicy, and perfectly spiced, wrapped in soft, fresh saj bread. The rich flavors of the Middle Eastern spices were evident in every bite, and the accompanying garlic sauce was a perfect complement. The portions were extremely generous, and the prices were very reasonable considering the high quality and authenticity of the dishes. The restaurants atmosphere felt warm and inviting, giving off a true Middle Eastern vibe that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. What stood out the most was the authentic service. The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. They went the extra mile to ensure our experience was top-notch, answering any questions we had about the menu and making excellent recommendations. Overall, Reetaj provided us with a memorable dining experience. Whether youre craving chicken or beef shawarma, or just want to experience some of the best Middle Eastern food in Oshawa, I highly recommend Reetaj. It s a gem for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, and we ll definitely be returning soon!

I was really hoping this place would be a spot I could go to after work when Im hungry. I have past by a few time and wondered if they were good, I saw a social media post, on there food. I should ask for my money back. I have tried many middle eastern restaurants and have been satisfied. Not the case hear, lacking flavour, nearly gave my order to another person.

Was there today based on all the great reviews. It was very good, but I must say the amount of meat was kind of lacking, I had the large chicken shwarma and it was more vegan then chicken. The taste was spot on though. And I noticed on the hard to understand menu board that you can indeed get a dinner or meat on rice. Ill try the chicken on rice next time and update my review. Was very good, just not as great as the other reviews where saying.

I had an extremely dissappointing experience today at reetaj, they had 4 people working at same time but none of them bothered to taken an order of mine or informed me that they are busy with their orders. I stood there in front of counter for 20 minutes like an idiot expecting someone to take my order. I dont mind waiting for my food but standing 20 + minutes in a shawarma shop is rediculous. I would understand if someone had said they are busy and they are not gonna take any orders. I was made there to stand like an fool for 20+ minutes. This is last time I would be coming here

My first time to try shawarma in Oshawa! We drove like an hour just to try it there. To be honest looking at the photos of this restaurant I expected something incredible. But it was above the average shawrama you could find in Ontario to be fair. The first restaurant in Ontario I find using Saj bread instead of pita and for that I respect. The beef shawarma sandwich was juicy and had the potential of authenticity but was a little cold. I guess maybe leave it a bit on the grill or something for a better result. Definitely worth the try!

I got the Saj falafel wrap. The falafel was made fresh in front of my eyes. The Saj bread was fresh chewy and toasted perfectly. The price was a little too low. The ingredients were fresh as if they were all just cut 5 minutes ago. Overall this experience and the food exceeded all expectations!

My family and I picked up dinner here last night. I had heard about it before but never been. I love shawarma and have tried a lot of different places that are fantastic but I have to say this is my new favorite place. So fresh and tasty. I love the fresh made bread and the chicken was amazing. My wife got the shawarma plate and could say enough about how good everything was. It was under $50 with tip for 3 people to have dinner and we were all full. I will definitely be going back. Kid-friendliness: Staff was very welcoming and took great care of us. He even gave us some chicken to try while he made our food.

Food quality is poor. I got the chicken shwarma plate. They microwave the rice and there is little selection for the salad which was not fresh. Garlic sauce tasted like mayonnaise and was hard to finish. The shwarma chicken is mediocre but atleast they season it decently. The prices are comparatively cheap but the portions are small compared to other shwarma places. In terms of service, I usually dont care as long as the food is good. It did feel like I was intruding into someones home with what appeared to be the wife and children running around just staring at you. Tried smiling at them but just got a death stare back lol. Service is fast because the place is virtually empty during peak times. I think there is a reason for that. I felt duped by all these positive reviews so I figured I would contribute a review which I dont normally do.

This is the 5th or 6th time they gave us a wrong order. We try to support the business by going there but their service really is lacking. I had complained to the owner regarding this repeating issue. Give you completely different. I order beef and I get chicken. Instead of fixing this the workers just say next time we ll give you $2 or $3 off It s not about the money, it s so annoying. You order and you repeat the order and you waste your time to go and they STILL get it wrong. It s become frustrating.

This is my favourite place when craving for shawarma, every single time, they serve you the best. I think this is the best shawarma place in Oshawa. I recently tried their falafel, omg, it was so tasty and crispy with soft fillings inside. It tasted so fresh. The chicken shawarma always tastes the best. The veggies, the sauces everything goes well. Apart from that, their service. I love how they treat their customers. I wish I could mention their names but unfortunately I don t know their name. Thank you for giving the best.

The food was awful, no flavour. Double wrapped skinny shwarma was all pita and skimp on the toppings. I could literally count the chicken pieces inside. But why double wrap it, its already so skinny? This was without a doubt the worst shwarma Ive ever had.

Excellent shawarma. Portions are fantastic. Flavour, especially the beef, superb. Oh and that fresh made to order falafel crispy crunchy outside, soft tender inside, amazing. Get some toum to dip it in, you are gold! Expect a wait during lunch/dinner, otherwise, its in and out. Vegetarian options: Falafel, grilled veg, loads of vegetarian and vegan options. Parking: Uphill parking, so some vehicles may have issues.

Ode to Reetaj - What defines a man? Is it the clothes he wears, the trials he bears? Maybe the values. He cares No. It is the Shawarma; the formula, his food feeds his soul. We re all trying to fill that hole. Sometimes, you need a delicious, nutritious wrapped chicken and beef. It is not malicious. Like an ice cream cone, made of meat and love. This mix wrap, it is for you, bud. - Mahmoud

The fresh Saj bread that is made in house and used for the Shawarma wraps is exceptional. I had the chicken Shawarma Saj wrap and it was honestly the best I have ever had. The pomegranate molasses takes the wrap to another level. The guys who run the place are very friendly and gracious. There is limited seating inside but on a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy your wrap. Limited parking also so just be prepared for that. The food however is delicious and wont disappoint. We will be back for sure.
