I came in the shop craving shawarma since I haven’t eaten much from my shifts and I had high hopes and this shop didn’t disappoint I ordered a mixed shawarma that contains chicken and beef and it might have been the best shawarma sandwich I’ve eaten the perfect combination of the flavour and the right amount of everything that was put in the sandwich made it so delicious. Also the customer service was impressive and fast they treated me with respect definitely try again it’s so good

It was a hot day, I was very tired and hadn’t ate all day. I was walking downtown trying to find somewhere to eat until I stumbled to this shawarma store. And I kid you not this might have been the greatest shawarma I’ve ever tasted topped off with a refreshing bebsi. And an amazing cheap offer too. It was everything you would want in your meal.

Great little Shawarma place. The service is always quick and friendly, and the food is always tasty and in good portions for the price. There is also a good sized seating area nearby (in minto place).

Ordered the chicken sandwich only, it was bland tasting and the chicken really lacked. And I’m not sure but has Ottawa health department abolished the rule of no hair nets????

I haven’t been here since about a year ago due to a bad customer service experience but I heard there was a new management so I thought I’d try it out. It was amazing and the service was way better. Wissam really took good care if my order.

Extremely expensive for what you get. Just get from somewhere else. Food is good, it just costs far too much, $17 for a large wrap that isnt that large isnt worth it. Portion size isnt even large, they are pretty skimpy on the meat, hummus and garlic sauce.

Every time i go there, i tell myself i will never go back but always end up going. The girl at the cash never EVER smiles. She is rude. She obviously does not want to be there. The food has always been good but for some reason, when i had it a few days ago, the pickled turnip tasted like it was way past the expiry date (same taste as meat that was too long in the fridge) and the lettuce was a bit slimy. Also, a guy preparing the orders was very rude by saying Next! after every order and telling everyone to move the line to get new people ordering. Before, with a salad with chicken, they d give pita bread and their baked pita pieces on the salad but they didn t this time. It s really about quantity with them i found and not quality. Id say their weakest point is definitely customer service. Being a supervisor or Manager there, i would have fired two employees in a second. Too bad that the staff does not care...and it shows.

A decent enough place to get your shawarma fix - located in the Minto food court. Peak hour is definitely around lunch time, so expect line ups 11:45 am - 1:00 pm.

So Im mixed about this place because I find the food pretty good and 1 of the guys is really good. But 1 of them makes it an unpleasant experience whenever hes working. He made a joke about how the place was closed the last time I was there and my most recent visit he took the bell away because he doesnt like it. Sad to say will not be returning but its entirely on you buddy.
