Osmow's is one of my go-to places for delicious food and the shawarma is always full of flavors. I also have to give a shoutout to Sanzil—he’s super friendly and always makes sure customers are taken care of. You can tell he really cares about what he does. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re craving something tasty!

Wanted to try this place for awhile. Did and will meet return. The wraps we ordered were pleasantly full of good things but half way through fell apart with a big mess. Need to get a better wrap like at the pita pit witch I will be returning too.

November 30, 2024

While ordering the food the person taking the order. (Guri) was extremely rude. I ordered the food with medium spice but he did not even add the spice to the dish. And the cucumbers taste like they are months old, this is very very unhygienic and unhealthy. MAINTAIN your food hygiene, people might seriously get sick, i can’t have another bite of this disgustingly unhealthy food!

I recently visited Osmow's, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! The food was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and perfectly spiced. I tried the Chicken Shawarma Wrap, and it was hands down one of the best I've had. The portions were generous, and the ingredients tasted so fresh. The garlic sauce was out of this world! The staff was friendly and efficient, and the service was quick, even during a busy time. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was casual yet inviting. Overall, Osmow's exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Mediterranean food!

I recently visited Osmow’s Shawarma, Arthur Street in Thunder Bay with my friends, and we had a fantastic experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming and treated us very well from the moment we walked in. The food was simply awesome – fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The service was excellent, with the staff being attentive and courteous throughout our visit. Special thanks to Manager Pardeep Singh and Manjeet Kaur for ensuring a delightful dining experience. I highly recommend Osmow’s Shawarma for anyone looking for delicious food and exceptional service in Thunder Bay.

Ordered for the first time through DoorDash and I wasn’t disappointed. I had the hummus appetizer and falafel (medium heat) on the rocks with recommended garlic and tahini sauce and I added additional feta cheese + tzatziki. Tha best dinner ever. Nice big portions and the pita bread was warm and amazing

very clean restaurant at 20:00hrs very helpful staff on food choices from the time I picked up my food from the counter to walking out the door to my car 4 feet away, the food was ice cold. The rocks are literal name and description, rice is undercooked af and hard. the lamb rice special I purchased was like actual refrigerated cold and so was the lamb. the 2 beef shwarma i purchased was also cold af like it was just picked from a previous unfulfilled order hours ago. the wrap fell apart and is likened to left open burrito wraps left drying in the sun. literally the refrigerated soda i purchased was warmer than the shwarma i purchased. the salad was warmer than the meat in the wrap that fell apart. however the spice is on point. it is spicy like battery acid. the falafel was amazing and actually hot when i made it 4 feet to my car. everything else was refrigerated trash. hard no, next time i see this place.

I recently ate at Osmow s and tried their chicken shawarma and chicken on the rocks. Both dishes were really tasty, and I will definitely go back! The chicken shawarma was full of flavor. The chicken was soft and cooked just right. It had a nice mix of spices and tasted amazing with the fresh veggies and garlic sauce, all wrapped in soft pita bread. Every bite was delicious. The chicken on the rocks was a big, filling meal. It had grilled chicken served on rice, with tasty garlic and hot sauce. The rice and chicken were a great match, and the sauces added a nice kick. The food was fresh, the service was fast, and the place was clean and welcoming. If you re looking for something yummy and satisfying, I highly recommend trying the chicken shawarma and chicken on the rocks at Osmow s. You ll love it!

Got a mixed plate with rice and salad for the Sunday special. Rice was old and crunchy, nearly made me throw up when I bit down and heard the sound. The meat was heated up only lukewarm on the flattop grill after sitting in the fridge. Had to pick pieces of wilted salad out of the salad mix, which was hidden under a too-large amount of dressing. It was not my first time going but it will be my last. The lukewarm meat is a major health violation. I am actively telling everyone I know to stay away from this location. Anyone who orders online or delivery only should come by the store and see how the food is being prepared before leaving their reviews, I think the lack of care going into the food preparation would surprise many.

I wouldn t call this a classic shawarma restaurant. They use pita wraps to make their shawarma and the end result is only about 2/3 the size of what a typical shawarma place would give you. For $17 a shawarma wrap should fill me up but I left hungry and wanting more. Complementary baklava with the purchase of a meal would have been a nice add-on but I didn t see baklava in the restaurant at all.

Shawarmas bowled with rice ordered. I am not satisfied with how they served meat and chicken slices which was very tiny slices and it was not same as what I tried at GTA s branches. Also they applied ranch or something same to the poutine whiteout asking. I didn t like the combination of that sauce with poutine and beef. Generally in compare with what I paid I didn t get quality service and food.
