Ottawa Kabab in Ottawa

Best experience I had so far in Ottawa, the quality of food is great, taste is good, service is excellent. We went 2 families with kids, had mix grill the meat was soft and juicy, they bake their own bread (Tannor), had Tabbola, Fattosh, Baba Gannoj, Muhammarah. I highly recommend this place.

First time here and definitely wont be the last time. My buddy and I ordered the 10pc mixed kebab set which came with veggies, bread, humus and garlic sauce. Food was absolutely amazing, flavourful, and fresh plus the service from Nagium was great where he provided his recommendations on what to order. Overall great food and service, and I will be returning.

Honestly, service was amazing. Place could def have some potential, maybe work on the atmosphere a little bit by changing the decorations or making it look more pretty. Aside that, food was amazing OMG. I am definitely coming back. I dont recommend the grape leaves. Parking: The parking is rlly small

Amazing stuff

I stopped in this place last week and both the service and the food was great! The atmosphere was very clean and inviting. The server was very polite and went above and beyond for me. I only had the chicken kabab combo but it was the most delicious thing I have tasted in a very long time. I wish I knew about this place sooner. I will definitely be returning, with friends! Kid-friendliness: High chairs are available for small children.

Lamb tikka was a gem

The food was great, and the service amazing. Thank you for the clarification about the pricing. My apologies for the confusion.

Fine dining over the other Youth is honey and age in particular

We went thr last week. 3 ppl. Ordered mandi with chicken and mandi with lamb shank 25 dollars each. And a kebab role 10 dollar and harissa 3 pcs around 4.50. They used the same rice for both chicken and lamb and the rice only smelled of cloves nothing else. Lamb shank was not seasoned totally bland. Chicken was less than ordinary. For the price food was not good at all. Kebab was ok for the price. Harissa was very very hard probably it was made 2-3 days ago sitting in the fridge. Atmosphere was nice it was neat and clean. Parking was little tight very very limited parking.

Unique and rare atmosphere to find it in Canada, the restaurant takes you to the Middle East where I have my roots and my beautiful memories

Delicious food, what I liked the most was their kunafa, it s the best I ve tried in Canada!

Food bland, over priced and horrid service. Not going back.

Very good food

One of the best Syrian/Arab restaurants in town! Good quality food for a great price.

Bad service Food wasnt that good, And the prices are too expensive Its not worth it to be here at all

Such pleasent and friendly staff. And food was plenty and exceptonal!

One of the best Kabab .....

Food tastes great and very friendly staff

Ordered Chicken Kebab Sandwich on uber eats and it was too hard (old bread) and dry. Wont order again. Bread was little burnt too Dietary restrictions: Halal

They serve food for many days ago without any quality Awful Food

It was delicious, but there were many weak employees, they went without coordination

Finally got to eat here after working in front of the restaurant all summer. The food was amazing, the restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to coming back soon!

The sign says Best Kabab in Ottawa. They might just be right!

We go served by Naguim and he was fabulous I would definitely recommend and would be coming back here

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was perfect

Very good service, food is excellent. I recommend!

A big thank you to Ottawa kabab for their generosity and welcome. They allowed us to use their space to deliver our presentation, which was a very positive experience. The team is professional, warm and always ready to help. I highly recommend this store!

I had an incredible experience at the Ottawa Kabab restaurant! The food is delicious, well seasoned and full of flavor. The portions are generous, perfect for satisfying big appetites. The service is fast and the staff is very welcoming, I highly recommend! I also love the atmosphere there

A great place to enjoy authentic dishes ! Ottawa Kabab offers a wide variety of choices, generous portions and incredible flavors. The shawarma and chicken skewers were perfectly cooked and well seasoned . The service was fast and the staff very friendly . The place is clean and the atmosphere friendly, ideal for a meal with friends or family. Highly recommend for an authentic culinary experience in Ottawa!

A real favorite for this restaurant! The welcome is warm and the staff, always smiling and attentive, makes all the difference. A perfect place, both for the quality of the cuisine and the friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend!

I recently visited and was really impressed by the quality of the food. The service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant, which made my meal even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to all kebab lovers!

Very good the best palace tbark served me and she was good and nice worker

The best kababs ive ever had!!

11/10 kabab! Best Kabab I ve had in Ottawa !!!

I usually order the Family platter with 10 skewers (5 chicken, 5 meat) however I realized that this time that the rice portion has decreased, the chicken kebab was really salty, and the beef is not as good as it used to be.

The food was very delicious, the staff was welcoming and friendly. The food took a bit long to be served, but it was worth the wait. Highly recommended Parking: There are not many parking spots in the parking lot. You can also park on the street. Kid-friendliness: The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Very good Iraqi dishes

It was tasty and delicious food service was very nice restaurant is neat and clean

A nice place and the food is quality

Food was amazing delicious, staff was great,lady was very friendly

Bad service for Uber eats Driver

Very bad experience at ottawa kabab. Catastrophic service from the waitresses at the entrance, no polite words, not even a hello or a welcome. The one who took the order, no professionalism, she did not give the necessary explanations, she made a mistake in taking the order. It was our first and last time. As far as really ordinary food goes the rice had no taste.

Iam very disappointed, the service was too long for an burned lamp shops, never again, thank you

This place was amazing and the food WOW! Very tasty. The décore was on point. the staff was very helpful .

Amazing interior, service and food. The chocolate baklawa is a new dessert item and it was very nice.

Five stars is an understatement for this place. Delicious food and really friendly service.

Delicious bbq

Amazing food

Perfect

Quality / Price / Service / Welcome / Nickel We had dinner there and we are going back for lunch.. Thank you, we enjoyed it.. Quality / Price / Service / Home / Nickel We had dinner there and returned for lunch. Thank you, we enjoyed it..

Excellent food, fair prices and good service. Highly recommend this restaurant for its authentic Middle-Eastern food. The kunafe with cheese was amazing for dessert. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. Parking: Total of 5 allocated parking spots which were very tight to maneuver in and out of.

Food is very delicious. Must try!

Very clean and authentic delicious food.. the smell of the food and the look of this restaurant took me back home the staff is so professional and friendly; I ll come back again thank you very much

The food was delicious and also very tasty. I really recommend it if you like these tips of food. Food

To avoid absolutely if you dont want to waste your time and wait more than 40min for a simple sandwich to be prepared for you

For first time we went to pick up food today absolutely disappointed with quality of the food, no taste at all just, very dry meat with ZERO quality, just waste my money. To be totally honest I have never had a bad food like this today.

Very clean and nice halal place!

Delicious food especially Tabulleh I liked it and best customer service ever.

Fantastic Meal, exceeded all expectations .More then generous portions ,rich flavors and excellent service. Stumbled across this place by accident will definitely be back !

Very good food at a reasonable price.

Food is absolutely delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Cant wait to go back.

I visited the place few times in the past. Last night went again. Kabab was served dry and cold. Service was slow and long. Very disapointing. Used to be a good place. Its going down... down... down...

Excellent food, wonderful atmosphere and friendly customer service. A must add restaurant to your list if youre a fan of kabab and middle-eastern food. Vegetarian options: The menu includes many vegetarian options, but you should really be going there for the kabab. Parking: Theres very limited parking in the plaza itself for Ottawa Kabab, so you should plan ahead and you will most likely need to park on the street.

Amazing chicken and lamb meat. The salad was really fresh as well. They have plenty of options on the menu including baklavas. Service was quick and the staff is friendly. Parking area is really tight though.

Great food. The mixed appetizers are so tasty. BBQ mix is great

This is the best breakfast you can have in Ottawa. The service is wonderful and they have nice variety. we also had dinner delivery the night before and everything was so delicious. Finally a restaurant in Ottawa that has tasty food.

Went to this place one night for dinner and was immensely disappointed. First, the service was super slow and the waitress was rude. She didnt even offer me a menu. I dont know if I should be insulted or not. Seriously, people were ordering from thier phones. Second, the place doesnt have any curries, nor does it have any option to swap out chicken/beef/and or lamb. Third, the food was subpar at best. Meat wasnt tender and rice tasted bland. I will never order from here nor ever recommend to anyone of my friends.

I was just here with my family, and everything was amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the food was very tasty. We will definitely be coming back!

The best place I highly recommend

Excellent food and excellent service!! I loved their kabab.

Taste was nice, the environment was clean and staff were very friendly and welcoming, Those coming as tourist, this place is a must to visit. Parking: Park on the road

Wow what delicious middle eastern food! My partner and I were passing through Ottawa near the end of a long road trip and were craving some kebab. We stopped here as it wasn t too much of a detour, but we have now vowed to always stop at Ottawa kebab every time we pass through Ottawa! The food is flavourful, the plates are generous (I ve never seen a kebab sandwich THAT huge !), and the prices are reasonable. The pita tastes fresh, the meat is tender and full of fresh spices. One thing that stands out from other similar restaurants is that Ottawa kebab is less salty, allowing the flavours and herbs to really shine! We didn t eat on, so I can t attest to table service or ambiance, but the service at the counter was courteous. I appreciated that the cashier asked if we wanted utensils rather than simply assuming that we would, which seems environmentally considerate!

Excellent service and the food was delicious!

Perfect stuff so professional and helpful Food is above and beyond! Food

I strongly recommend this restaurant. Delicious food Food

I ve been going to this place ever since they first opened. They have the most flavorful kebabs and always cooked to perfection. Food : 5/5

I ate here for the first time today - I ordered the Adana Kabab Lamb and Beef (Spicy) (2Sk). It was amazing. The service was friendly also. Highly recommended!

The food is great! I ordered the 1 kg chicken kebab plate. It comes with pickles, hummus, nan bread, Garlic sauce, onions, roasted tomatoes, and extra Nan bread. It would serve at least 4 people.

One of the best kabab restaurant in Ottawa. We tried several options, and every kebab is so amazing. Recommended for their special offer 1 kg beef with 0.5 kg chicken kebab. Last but not least, we are very happy with their services This restaurant is excellent if you enjoy skewers, kebabs, and other Middle Eastern foods. - Portion sizes that are generous. - Excellent lighting throughout. - Features a store selling ready-made items for takeaway, including as sweets, baklava, and samosas. - Friendly personnel. Fantastic for Muslim families. Ill be getting kebabs here more often in the future!

Amazing Halal Food Best Mediterranean cuisine Food

The meal I was served bore very little resemblance to their photos or what I expected from the reviews and marketing. Watery, flavourless overcooked rice, a bland salad consisting mostly of iceberg lettuce with a thimble of salad dressing, and rubbery chicken that didn t seem like it saw any time near a flame or a searing hot pan. Took a surprisingly long time for that terrible meal as well. Servers were super friendly and place was nice looking. Did I come on a bad night or order the wrong dish? Not sure but I definitely won t be back to give it another chance. Just to clarify based on owner response - I would not expect them to add flavour to the rice, just for it to taste like rice and not like watery overcooked rice. And re: salad - compare owners description to their photos and you could see how I was disappointed in the salad.

Not recommended! It had a small portion, was cold and not tasty

Ummmm . I ordered on Uber Eats on Sunday morning. I hadn t eaten much the few days prior as I wasn t well so I was starving. They had a 2 for 1 promotion for the za atar pide with cheese, delectable. The dough was fresh and the perfect texture. Large portions. They also had 2 for 1 promotion on the chicken kabsa. Huge portion of spiced rice that was insanely flavourful with a fall off bone chicken leg. Also came with a side of yogurt and refreshing cucumber and tomato salad. I also splurged on the cheese rolls and a side of tzatziki my goodness . It all arrived piping hot. I think one of my favourite meals I ve had in Ottawa and definitely the best takeout meal hands down. Thank you!!

The worst service and food never again

My close-friend Jagdeep referred me her to try authentic Iraqi food and I have to say it is mind blowing and by far the most delicious food I have ever tasted. The atmosphere is also a great place to bring family and friends! I ordered the Quzi and lamb shank! Vegetarian options: Accommodation for vegetarians! Dietary restrictions: Detailed list of all ingredients is helpful to notice ANY allergies! Thanks! Parking: Multiple spots and is not heavily monitored from by-law. Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible for disabled individuals.

The best restaurant and the best service, thank you

Amazing food, halal and amazing staff! Took such good care of us!

Amazing service, delicious food! Must try!

All the food tasted very fresh! Service was excellent! The lady who served us was very nice! Price was very reasonable and the quality of the food was very good! Would definitely recommend and come back multiple times :)

Love it

Food is delicious and super tasty! Vegetarian options: Lots of choices Dietary restrictions: Halal food Parking: Limited parking lots: only 3 Kid-friendliness: High chairs are available Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, easy access

This restaurant is magnificent, the dinner was excellent and the service impeccable. Thank you so much, Ottawa Kabab! Until next time!

I really loved the food. I truly recommend this place.

Frankly speaking, the place is fine BUT the service and sea food is not their art! The fish dish was prepared and we were told that the other dish(3 mix grill) needs 5 minutes. It took more than 10 minutes, surprisingly! Once the dish was served, the lady even didn t say sorry! The old owner is away much better in both seafood and service.

Small portion, slow and confused service. Food tastes can be improved. Kebab is dry and unflavored, and lamp shanks tough meat. Food

Went for dinner 1 hour before closing and the food was delicious especially the tanour bread! Friendly service, highly recommend.

Ottawa Kabab restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with amazing food thats sure to satisfy any palate. Highly recommended!

Perfect in all aspects. Highly recommended.

Great place, reasonable prices, and tasty food. Some of the mixed grill plates provide an excellent value for two diners.

Very good food Excellent service and reasonable prices We will definitely repeat it all the time

Very nice interior. The food is excellent. Very good service. I bet it is the best Arab kebab house in the Canadian Capital. Strongly invite you in! You will never forget this Middle Eastern culinary experience

Amazing experience!! From the welcome to the dishes and desserts, truly a place to try Thank you to the very professional and smiling waiters and waitresses

Waw just WAW Service + food Food

Amazing food and service was outstanding! Everyone should give this gem a try! Loved It

Good food, good behaviour. Thanks Parking: It s easy to park. Thanks

I recently dined at ottawa kabab restaurant in Ottawa and had an exceptional experience! The service was impeccable; the staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to make our visit enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal with family or friends. As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. The kababs were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, with a delightful balance of spices that brought out the best in every bite. The accompanying sides were fresh and flavorful, complementing the main dishes beautifully. Overall, Ottawa Kabab restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in Ottawa craving authentic and delicious kababs. I cant wait to return and try more of their menu!

Very good service! Thank you Wafa for the excellent service :) Good food

Best food and friendly service

Lathifa food attender was so grateful on guidance of ordering food and the food was so tasty that I can t wait to come once again from Toronto. I would recommend everyone who s crazy to eat middle eastern food like me. Best place, grea Atmosphere and nice and beautiful attenders

It s been very tasty since it opens. They really worked hard on this place and I am amazed. It deserves more than 5 stars!! If you looking for a friendly staff, great customer service along with delicious food I recommend this place for you :)

delicious food. and wonderful service. Parking: i recommended everyone. Food : 5/5 |

Amazing food and service. The workers were so kind and always helped if we needed anything. The prices were reasonable and very good. I would 100% recommend them. I would come a second time. Also, the restaurant is very clean.

unprofessional place here is a tip: if a table ordered a pitcher try bringing it not after the dinner, rather during the dinner. It s a shame to call kebap that dish they served.

I tried it so many times. It s always the same way of making, delicious & juicy. What I like the most that they have inside & out side places to set, so choose the place you like. It is suitable for big gatherings & families. The atmosphere is Arabian as you can notice that from the words in the walls of the restaurant. They serve so many different dishes & the best is kebabs. They have restroom & parking lots. Parking: They are few spaces but I always find a place to park.

Best Halal restaurant in Ottawa! Highly recommended. Fusion between Iraqi/turkish/syrian cuisine will be back for sure!

Excellent food, taste great. Highly recommended. I highly recommend

Amazing food, amazing vibe, amazing staff! So delicious can t wait to go back already!! Definitely recommend

Adana Kabab wrap is my favourite sandwich

Top notch in all aspects, Bravo is an amazing restaurant

Fireee

Very clean space, delicious food, friendly staff, and excellent service. Best halal restaurant I ve tried in Ontario. Food

Very bad service 2 hours waiting for my order

The restaurant is very clean with very good hospitality and very delicious food that reminds me of the middle eastern environment. I recommend this restaurant to any iraqi, syrian, Palestinian or jordanian peaple visiting or living in ottawa. Loved my experience so much A lot of nostalgic feelings

Great tasting food, but service is very lacking

Dry kebab, stale bread and neglectful service.

Tasty Iraqi food and friendly staff

We came from Mississauga and found out Ottawa Kabab is serving halal, chicken kabab was delicious. Especially when it comes to naan/bread which was extra delicious.

Horrible service. Food tasted good, but took over an hour for them to bring out my partners food and tell me they didn t have what I ordered. His food was cold by the time they replaced my meal, the server didn t know what the options were, just showed me a photo. Didn t replace our water at all, even when asked. Didn t offer any kind of apology or compensation for the inconvenience of taking 1.5 hours to serve a 2 top. I was told it was actually my fault for walking in when it was busy . However there was one other table when we walked in, 3 larger tables came in after we sat and or ordered, they all got served before us. This was also apparently my fault for ordering falafel. There are so many great Arab places in Ottawa to chose from instead. Do not go here.

Wonderful food at ottawa kabob house! The service was excellent special thanks to S for making sure our eperience is good. Will definately come back. We had the mix plate and the shish taouk, best kabob in ottawa!

A very nice family experience. Quiet and clean place. Very kind and organized waitress, while the food was simply excellent. Well done

Delicious halal food Ramadan kareem Food

I was here to celebrate birthday of someone, and we all had a great time. The food was certainly very delicious but the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The meat was so tender; not too spicy but full of flavours. Loved every bit of our dining experience here. - Great if you love kebabs, skewers, and other middle-eastern dishes. - Generous portions. - Very bright place in terms of lighting. - Also has a store with ready-made goodies; baklava, desserts, samosas etc., for take-outs. - Friendly staff. - Great for families(Muslim). Definitely coming here more in the future for kebabs! Vegetarian options: Had someone vegetarian with us, and the restaurant did have great vegetarian options for them.

They can t even communicate to their patrons properly. I was planning on going for iftar with some friends last night and I even called ahead to see how long before iftar we should arrive and they told us 20 minutes before. Ok great, we get there and they tell us that we need a reservation. Why didn t the person on the phone bother telling me that when I called earlier? You guys are running a circus, not a business. Because of you I had to drive elsewhere and break my fast much later. Stay away from this place if you value your time and dignity.

Nice seating area very traditional. Food was excellent, the skewers including chicken were juicy! Service could be improved, but I would absolutely go back and recommend for the food! We ate cheese pide, 4 mixed plate, and finished with tea and cheese kunafa. Ayran drink was a little watered but overall great place for family!

The falafel sandwich was great! Loved the wrap texture and the fresh mint leaves for a fresh kick. Good price too.

100% recommend this place very very very tasty food !!!

The service was amazing, the staff is really polite and nice, the food came very quick and tasted amazing.

It was our first visit. Food is amazing. Hospitality and service is excellent. Nazab is an amazing host.

We ordered a Muhammara Pide and a Spinach Pide with cheese for starter; chicken mandi, chicken kebab and shish taouk with naan for our main course, the yogurt drink and kunafa with ashta for the dessert! And one of the person on the table ordered falafel sandwich. Everything on the table was delicious and had perfect blend of spices! The quantity was good! We really enjoyed our food! Thank you

One of the best kebab and grill restaurants in Ottawa. The food and service are amazing and the staff are friendly. Definitely worth trying several times.

It was a bad experience ,not recommended at all. The customer service was unsatisfactory as well. There is no respect for the customers.

Service was incredible, our server Nadjeeb was so nice and hospitable

The food is excellent and delicious and the service is excellent and fast, especially the young man Najib who provided the service with great compassion and kindness.. One of the restaurants I always love to go to..

Seems like the management changed recently. Service can be improved and it is not consistent. Otherwise good quality is good and they use fresh ingredients. If you are lucky to get their fresh bread then you will enjoy. Very well priced menu and lots of options. Not many Arabic cuisine restaurants will offer separate breakfast items so this definitely sets them apart. Their portion sizes may be slightly smaller than you may otherwise expect but food is delicious. Great atmosphere to dine in with family. Restaurant is very clean.

Very nice meal with some brothers from church. Server was very kind and helpful. We had a family meal and split the bill, and we were stuffed. The food was amazing very delicious.

The food is very beautiful and the taste is amazing Especially the Iraqi bread with meals gives you the feeling of eating as if you are in your country Thank you for this food and special items. I will definitely come again in the coming days Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is very suitable for children

Diverse and delicious dishes. A beautiful place for family and friends.

The best ever to eat kabab the food is so good and the service is the best

Great people and food

Amazing place that hosted a large number of us. I definitely recommend

Always delishous

best place ever !

Amazing service and great food! Highly recommend especially if you re visiting Ottawa and are looking for great food.

The service was great, and the food was delicious!! Cant wait to go back. Would recommend to anyone :)

Meal was ok but very bad service and very noisy

Great food and friendly staff.

Wonderful place to eat. The quality of food is high. Although there is less people to serve you however the food comes within few minutes. The only problem is they have lesss number of parking.

Delicious dishes, and top service from our friendly server, Najib. I highly recommend. Vegetarian options: Yes several options Dietary restrictions: there are several choices to respect dietary restrictions. In particular, Vegetarian, Halal, gluten-free. Kid-friendliness: High chairs available

Nice food,

Wallah in such a short notice they hosted our large number and everything was AMAZINGG

Probably the best grilled meat and kebab you can find in Ottawa and it s not even close!

AMAZING SPOTTT, MUST GO HERE, AMAZING FOOD, They re good is delicious and amazing prices. Great service

I kept my old review from 2 years ago ..to see the difference ... Probably a new management .. for me within 2 years moved from 5 stars to 1 .. the food lost the authentic touch and the prices went up ... How an Arabic restaurant send a Kilo Kabab order without adding any bread?! Not impressed with the kabab or the chicken Kabsah..Ill take my money somewhere else! (2 years ago review) Fresh and tasty food + Friendly Staff..reasonable prices for portions ... used to be Iraqi restaurant but now you can see the Syrian touch also...you can also buy the Iragi (tanoor) Bread Recommended 5/5

Disappointed about this place. Very small kebab sandwiches, mostly bread with barely any meat or vegetables inside. Overpriced. Never again.

Its pretty telling when all the responses to negative reviews of this place is to blame the customer rather than take responsibility. In a city full of kabab restaurants, you could do better than to order from this place. We were the only ones in the restaurant and waited over 30 minutes for sandwiches that were all bread and very little meat. Not sure why there are so many high reviews...maybe this place used to be good, but now theyre getting stingy. With prices like these, they need to be more generous with the portions.

Great quality, taste and selection. There are lots of variations and platters to choose from that are good for sharing. The grilled meat kababs were all very well seasoned, delicious and nicely presented. The prices are reasonable for a sit-down restaurant with fast service. The portions are also big and the included items are clearly indicated in the menu. The Aryan yogurt was also delicious.

We tried this restaurant for the first time. I highly recommend it. The food was good and the service was excellent...if you are 2 people or more, I advise you to take the family menu. Thanks to the waiter Najib for his good service.
