Service was great, the staff were very friendly and didnt rush me when I had questions. The ingredients are pretty simple but I loved the combination of the roasted chicken, their salad with the tangy dressing, and a heaping side of hummus. It was $15+ tax for the medium and I almost couldn’t finish it. I hope they open one up in Toronto’s downtown core someday!
Came here and got a chicken salad. The dressing was so overwhelmingly acidic to the point of being unenjoyable. The utensils provided were impossible to eat the salad with as the cabbage was too hard for the fork to be able to puncture. Some pieces of chicken were quite dry while others were juicy and delicious, so the chicken itself was a little mixed. Very little pita made it into the salad itself but at least one was provided in the side. We were also ready to pay and waiting and someone else who seemed like a regular just skipped to the front of the line and paid ahead of us even though our food was sitting there ready and we were waiting. Overall not particularly impressed, the food was fine but nothing special.
If i could eat here for the rest of my life, I would, Truly a gem of a restaurant for ottawa, and so sad this isn’t a chain i can enjoy when I go back to the GTA! The food was so fresh and hearty, the flavours were amazing. My favourite type of meal is one where vegetables are a huge part of the flavour and this definitely checked that. Tried the platter first and went back the next day for the wrap - both amazing! And the vibes were sosososo great, just such friendly and speedy service. Highly recommend to anyone who had the luck to try it :)
Great place! I ordered the medium salad with hummus and spicy garlic sauce which was tangy and tasty. The service was outstanding and the staff were very helpful with explaining their recommendations since it was our first time! They even offered extra pitas! I think there was a bit too much lemon juice or pickled veggies so near the bottom of the salad it was quite sour but overall great experience!
Upon entry was immediately greeted with a smoky restaurant/burnt smell. 15min wait before I could place my order. Wrap was 95% veggies, could barely find any chicken. I will however, say that the flavour profile of my small chicken sandwich was outstanding if you like nontraditional Shawarma flavours.
An easy call as a 5 star. The service was very friendly, patient and helpful and the dining area was spotless. Ordered Shawarma combo and the side fattoush salad was amazing. Tough place to locate but well worth the hunt.
FL serves up one of the best fattoush salads I've ever had! The service was excellent, making the whole dining experience wonderful. Definitely a must-try for anyone looking for a great meal.
The smell of all good things cooking fill the air as you walk in. Superb flavouring on the vegetables and chicken. Sauces for the potatoes and wrap hit that hunger. Very nice place to sit down and enjoy your eats from a great family run restaurant that will treat you to outstanding service. Thanks and see you soon!
My friend and I ordered salads today and we were both physically unwell in the afternoon. Portions have gotten smaller and the make up of the salad was no where as good as a few years back.
A fine meal of generous proportions. Would highly recommend. I hope they have lots of success!
Best Fatoush salad I have ever had. Very friendly staff and great portion sizes.
One spot offers healthy food nearby the parlement, good option if you want to have a light lunch. Vegetarian meal, the menu is limited but for the lunch you will find something to eat. Vegetarian options: Falafel salad
Love the food, great service, love the music!
Phenomenal, very filling lunch :)
Best shawarma spot in the city. The food is flavourful and delicious. The service is dialed in, the guys running the front of house are awesome. Highly recommend and will keep coming back for more!
Excellent !!! Not a pinch of salt missing with flavour ! Highly recommend!!!
Great food I would definitely recommend.
Loud music, 12 minute wait at 12:42 pm, wanted to charge 16$ for fattoush salad without protein. I did not see a lady, only understaffed men. Went to competitor, had same salad made fresh-to-order for 12$.
The best salad in town and their chicken is always juicy and delicious. I love this place.
Came across this place randomly incredible WOW one of Ottawas hidden gems!
Can t say enough good things about FL. A+ all around
Loved the delicious food and sweet tunes
Overpriced for what you get and I found the quality and texture of the chicken to be weird . I only went here because my colleagues wanted to go. Small portion for the price. I won t be going back.
Excellent food. I highly recommend it to all people who like to eat healthily.
They charge for extra sauce that wasnt even ordered! Who does that...
Best fattoush salad with a lovely crunch ! Full of flavour and fresh delicious sauces ! Highly recommend!
Delicious salad ! Fresh tasty chicken! And awsome atmosphere! Highly recommend!
Great quality toppings and fresh chicken but extremely limited business hours (only 11am-2:30pm Tuesday to Friday). Chicken fattoush wrap: (4.2/5) Wrap was a bit small for the price, but toppings and chicken were high quality and fresh. Toppings were healthy and included cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli as well as the basics.
Delicious. Expensive. Does not allow both rice and potatoes on a platter for some reason. Extra charge if you want garlic and hummus. Portions seem to be smaller than they used to be. I used to come here fairly often, but it is now prohibitively expensive. Will probably be an occasional treat. Always a good meal. At noon there s usually a line out the door. Glad they are still in business.
Consistently one of the best lunch spots downtown. Expect a long line up if you go during peak lunchtime, but it is well worth the wait. The salad with chicken is always perfectly tangy and fresh and the staff are always smiling and friendly!
Great meal
We got the platter and salad box. However, I didnt appreciate the up-sell and lack of transparency on the hummus and garlic sauce, as it wasnt made at all clear that these arent included as standard until I studied the receipt and saw an additional $2.50 for each. This pushed the price up, before tax, to $16.50 for the small salad and $19.50 for the platter, which I think is punchy for a takeout lunch. It was tasty though, so still giving 4 stars.
Very fresh and delicious. Their take on the shawarma platter was great. Loved the salad which had a nice pickle bite to it. Unfortunately they were out of potatoes that day.
Unassuming, but leaps and bounds above the others
Very expensive for the quality. The salad was extremely sour with an excessive amount of lemon. Pita crumbs were added in there but all saggy as they re not fried or toasted like in the original recipe. Also, they don t toast the wrap so it gets all wet and saggy. Almost no chicken in the sandwich. Very expensive for the price, I don t recommend The service is great.
Too much vinegar made this a bizarre eating experience. Not worth the price, in my view.
Excellent service, friendly Staff and DELICIOUS food. Will be there again!
The food was good but they seemed totally unprepared for a lunch rush
Fabulous place downtown to grab some lunch. I had the fattoush salad and it was delicious.
The chicken wrap was amazing,fattoush salad had extra spices which was a little bit more than expected, The price is okay, for the portion received, the best part was the rich texture of the meat. Few items are not available at times.
Super fresh and flavourful food! The hummus is homemade and has a great texture and flavour to it. The workers there are so pleasant and positive and that makes for such a great pop in experience. The chicken was juicy and everything worked well together and tasted great. Will definitely come again and will be a new lunch go-to.
Thinking about this salads mouth watering deliciousness, keeps me up at night. Homer Simpson was wrong when he said You dont make Friends with Salad
So good. The salad is tangy and tasty, the potatoes are amazing, and the wraps are definitely a crowd pleaser. On top of everything the service is outstanding.
Nice food but little expensive.
With the price you pay, you would expect a full piece of pita bread as it is included with the platters but instead, they cut the pita is four quarters and only give you one of those quarters to go with your lunch. The taste is okay but I can get better elsewhere for cheaper and a full size pita to accompany the platter.
The chicken fattoush salad was okay but quite expensive for what you get. I would come back mainly because FL is in a convenient location, but the food and menu offerings are nothing special compared to other restaurant options in the downtown core.
Best falafel and fattoush in the City. Worth the trip downtown for lunch. So fresh and tasty and service is always kind and cheerful.
Tasty!
Easily one if my favourite new spots. The atmosphere wasnt bad just simple. Food : 5/5
Stopped in for a quick take out lunch - perfect size, and amazing flavours and textures in the salad (plus I love when the pita in the fattoush is still crispy!). Generous chicken addition, friendly service. Highly recommended!
An explosion of fantastic flavour. Came all the way from Brighton for another great experience
Ive gone twice now and they now have a customer for life. Ive had a lot of Shawarmas before but the Ladys are a level above the rest. The falafel messes me up, leaving me fulfilled but also with a yearning to come back for more. And although I cant quite describe it, that salad is magnificent too. A unique combination of spices that compliment instead of overbear. These folks know what theyre doing.
Amazing food and service
My personal favourite fatoush place in downtown Ottawa.
Fresh and flavourful! Just excellent!
Good food and friendly staff! :)
Always greeted with a smile, very friendly service. The best fattoush salad, so tangy and fresh and with a side of garlic and topped with chicken, perfection.
Dont get in my way when I eat here. I debated giving a bad review so yall wouldnt make the lines even longer! However, they deserve a stellar rating. My favourite shawarma in Ottawa. The staff are good to - but be ready because they want your order the second you walk up. Its fair though, they are so busy, they need to be quick. Garlic potatoes are really good too, not too greasy! Sometimes when they get really busy, seating can be an issue and you may find yourself waiting outside, but its soooooo good!
Great food, great service! 5 stars to the team!
The quality is unmatched. delicous food and amazing service. Go try it if you havnt.
Best fattoush salad in town!
Excellent Fatoush salad. Might be the best downtown!
This place came highly recommended and their medium salad with protein is absolutely fabulous. Even by itself without the protein would be very tasty, but all in all I am a convert to this place, great quick healthy lunches downtown!
Found that portions are smaller now. Is it new ownership? Will be visiting again!
Incredible food, fantastic service, and my new go-to restaurant! I recommend the hot lunch specials if you only have a few minutes to spare from the office; quick, easy and always on time! They say it isn t over until the Fattoush Lady sings, but I was done after the second load
Fast and friendly service, delicious shawarma
Best Fattoush in Ottawa hands down. The thing I miss most of working downtown is getting fattoush for lunch.
Fresh, tasty, fast and fairly prices!
The falafel is particularly good. Fresh, very clean taste. The decor is quite elegant and clean as well, and all for a great price.
Crazy popular for lunch, and for good reason! The lines are quite long and wind through the restaurant, but dont worry because the staff are a well oiled machine. The signature wrap is delicious and the garlic potatoes are perfect.
Generous portion and fair price. Nice garlic sauce.
Best Fattoush I have ever had! Fave lunch spot!
Fantastic! Best Fattoush salad Ive had in Ottawa.
I dont work in this area of the city anymore, but when I am in the area I always pick up fattoush here! It is so delicious! Please open more locations! :)
Best fattoush on the planet. Period.
Best Fatoush you will ever have. Long line of people at lunch are all there for that.
Very friendly staff, generous portions and really good food...what else can you ask for??
Had to pay extra for hummas and the quantity vs the price is not good. The taste was good but wouldnt pay almost 12 dollars for a small salad again.
Amazing. One of the best fatoush salads I have ever had.
Very great Fatoush Salad. The best in Ottawa!
Friendly staff and the food is excellent!!
Great shawarma.... No wonder there was a line out the door .
This is where to go to pickup a fattoush salad with chicken. Dont be daunted by the long lunch line, it moves fast.
Falafel was hard
Get the chicken salad.
Yum. Tasty. And filling.
Amazing food the best on town Good prices family owned best service great place for lunch
This is seriously the best fattoush Ive ever had! Everything was so fresh and delicious
Excellent fattoush salad and sponsors. Always happy with everything I order.
SO GOOD! I highly recommend the Fattoush salad with chicken. So many hearty vegetables, and the chicken was super yummy. Add hummus and garlic sauce too if youre into it. Its amazing!
While there can sometimes be a line-up outside the door during the summer, its worth it if you have the time. They make an excellent fatoush with lots of vegetables, crispy pitas (a good indication of how much they go through), and an excellently lemon-y dressing. Ive tried the chicken and beef, and both were to my liking (although chicken is my go to). A great, not too expensive spot for the local lunch crowd.
Best fatoush in town!
Excellent fattoush
Best fattoush in Ottawa.... No questions asked!!!!!
Fattoush salad is excellent. The shawarma has been jacked up in price but still packs in a kick though am not as fond of their sandwich as much as I am of the salad. Still the best place in the CBD for anything middle eastern and fast.
Absolutely delicious salad. I am very happy this place exists. My complaint is all the styro-foam waste. More environmentally responsible packaging would be preferred. Also the proportions when you order just salad vary hugely depending on who is serving, which is annoying. The women are much more generous with the serving sizes, the guy with curly dark hair gives much smaller portions.
Best Lebanese food in all of Ottawa!! Garlic sauce is addictive! Tad expensive though...
Very good fatoush salad, if not the best in town. The chicken (that they put on) however could be crispier and hotter. I feel it is just cooked enough not to be raw. I find chicken that is more caramelized/crunchy in the mouth is so much better in a fatoush. As other reviews pointed out, would be great if they could lead by example start using compostable waste. Also, an extra cashier would increase their speed and income. I often turn around where theres a big lineup. One cashier during lunch hour is just not efficient...
Very good salad. Reasonable prices.
Had the chicken shawarma and beef wrap. I recommend the chicken since the beef seems like its not on a vertical spit to roast. I still have to try the fattoush salad since that seems to be the popular dish. Edit*** Had the Fattoush Salad. Amazing!
Chicken Platter was great. Chicken was well-cooked (not dry) and the salad was tasty. Only minor complaint was the pita being a bit hard and you only get a tiny little quarter piece. Overall, I would go back again!
Can anyone tell me what calculator they use to calculate the tax? *I got beef wrap, which was $5.85. *Total cost at the till was $7.75. *I got nothing extra. *with 13% tax of 5.85, the total should be $6.61!! I dont like it when places trick you into paying more. Just increas your price if you must. Because you re hurting the customers and other business!
Best shawarma place downtown. Its ways busy during lunch time.
Really good food. Staff aren t the nicest but oh well.
The fattoush salad was tasty and a good portion size. The wrap was too much bread for the amount of food and sauce inside the wrap... This made the wrap dry. Stingy portions and when I asked for rice inside my wrap they told me no. I have never been to a Shawarma place that is stingy on portions. I wont be going back.
Dont go if you want a shwarma plate. They give you the option of rice, potatoes OR salad and Hummus OR Garlic sauce. You get no extra veg toppings(tomatoes, turnips & peppers) and a quater pita. The chicken was pre sliced off the gyro so it didnt taste freshley cooked. Staff werent friendly
One of the best Fattoush in town! Totally recommend this place. Theres always a lineup during lunch, but they move fast
This fattoush and falafel was really exceptional. I will definitely be back!
Awesome fatoush
Excellent food.
Good salad
I really like coming here once in a while. Their food is always fresh and well prepared. I would recommend Fattoush Lady any day of the week. Only wish it wasnt so crowded when I go, just happens to probably be their busiest time of day. That is really great for them, but not so great for their clients...
I wish this place was open on weekends because I crave the Fattoush salad all the time. Its my favourite in Ottawa!
Excellent, tasty food
The service is always great, everyone is so nice and pleasant, and the food is always delicious! I come here whenever I have time! It s just too bad they re open for such short days!
Good chicken salad!
Fattoush!!!!
BEST FATOUSH EVER!!
Good Fatoush and staff is nice.
Best fattoush salad Ive ever had and the chicken is great as well. This is always my go to Lebanese food restaurant and Ive never been disappointed. Their chicken shawarma is also very good.
Best falafel plate Ive had. Excellent salad, lovely staff. A++, would munch again.
The one. The only. Fattoush Lady.
Friendly with great food
Absolutely the best in ottawa
Amazing fatoush salad
Best fattoush salad in the city.
Im glad that the Fattoush Lady found a permanent home after their location at LEsplanade Laurier closed. As always, the food is delicious and the service is friendly and warm.
Fantastic Shawarma shop in the downtown area.
sooo bad. The shawarma portion is cheap and they dont have beef on the rotisserie, Plus they charge extra for tabouleh. Not recommended
This is my go-to place for lunch downtown. Excellent chicken fattoush salad. Line-up often out the door and onto the sidewalk during lunch hour.
Its definitely an acquired taste and only good if you are a fan of sour/lemony salads! I love it but I know for some its too strong. The chicken however, I am not too fond of but I do keep coming back for their fatoush :)
Best Fattoush in Ottawa!
Simply The BEST !! The shawarma is really good, Fattoush is amazing and all at a great price. Its a must try, Highly Recommend !!
Excellently prepared schwarma selection. Busy lunchtime location, lineup out the door by noon on weekdays.
Favorite Fattoush recipe and personal favorite garlic sauce. One of the places to go for lunch at work! Gotta get my fix of it.
I like it.
