247 King St N, Waterloo, ON N2J 2Y8, Canada
Simple Mediterranean spot serving up shawarma & falafel plates with sides of french fries & rice.
Best shawarma in Waterloo. So filling and so good. Make sure to get extra garlic sauce on platters.
Literally the best shawarma I’ve had anywhere in the world. Idk how they do it. It is my first stop every time I fly to Canada. Well-lubricated wrap with delicious sauce. The pickles and French fries as additions to the wrap are inspired genius. The flatbread is perfectly toasted. And the shawarma is perfectly cooked. Literally god-tier meal.
We had their classic Chicken Shawarma! It was delicious!
I simply did not enjoy the chicken shawarma poutine at this location. The amount of chicken that was served was next to none on-top. The garlic sauce was pre made in bulk batches and the overall experience lacked the authentic tastes and flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. The poutine gravy itself was decent. I've heard of great things about Mozy's in the past, but this visit was truly a disappointing one. The seating area itself was decently clean. Overall, I will most likely not come here again in the near future
The Chicken Shawarma wrap’s at Mozy’s Waterloo were delicious. We got four of them for dinner, one for the each of us. a) The marinated chicken cut from the vertical rotisserie - marinated, cooked & grilled b) Pita bread - fresh. c) French fries in the wrap - soft. d) Garlic sauce - exceptional. e) Pickles - Tangy and Sweet. As we always ask ourselves once we have eaten. Will we get Mozy’s shawarma again while visiting Waterloo? the answer is we sure will.
This shawarma place is very special to my heart, I can say without a doubt is is the better tasting places I can enjoy in the area. The meat is never dry and the service is very nice.. it’s a bit pricey but they make sure you have enough to eat from one order. I like the place for being so clean too, hard to find places that clean up nicely
Best shawarma! Really tasty and full of sauces that make it just perfect. I normally go for regular shawarma than the full taste one. Last visit I tried shawarma plate. Wow! Amazing especially with half rice and half fries.
Decided to give this place a try today and glad I did. I ordered online for pick up, and was a little skeptical, but the the falafel wrap was one of the best I've ever had. I ordered extra lettuce, extra tomato and extra sauce and they nailed it. The wrap was ripped but I guess that's what I get for stuffing it so full. The falafel were fluffy, moist and flavourful and the online ordering offered the option of paying when I got there which many don't offer. Give these guys a try, you won't regret it!
Best shawarma in town.
Sriracha Sauce as spice at a shawarma place? Come on.
Best Schwarma in town.
tried twice and both times were vry meh, least fave local shawarma spot in KW. just kinda bland, fam agrees. ordered both times from here and they just don t HIT like the others we ve tried. box of plain lettuce and tomatoes with no dressing option but hot sauce and garlic, rice/fries/shawarma eveeything not rly good. will not try again. I do recommend double taste shawarma (bridge st location)
Ive been all over Canada. Tried shawarma in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Vancouver and Edmonton. MOZYS IS THE BEST. I usually get one regular and one full flavor shawarma with everything on it because like children I love them both equally. Vegetarian options: Falafel is fire Dietary restrictions: They can do vegan. Kid-friendliness: Good. Wheelchair accessibility: Not really.
Best shawarma in Ontario
Guess this is another location now gone down the drain. I order a $20 shawarma plate to get specks of chicken and loads of fatty sauce. Am I paying for the salad? Disgusting. Dont bother going here. I wont be back anymore. Waste of your hard earned money.
Pinderpreet working in this location dont have a sense of customer service. They were serving old shawarma and when i told her to get me fresh shawarma she has horrible expression as if i hv asked her something new. And then i saw her and one other guy serving the same old shawarma to someone for pickup order.
DYNAMITE. I have yet to ever have a bad experience here, the employees make solid portions, do their work quickly, and best of all, food always tastes dynamite. Literally will not go anywhere else Parking: Can be a LITTLE hard to snag a spot during busy hours, given its near universities, but to be expected, and never NOT found a spot
Best Shawarma in K.W.C
Amazing Food + Service
Delicious shawarma with great portions and fast service, highly recommended.
Definitely worth eating here.
Friendly staff! Thank you guys!
One of the best shawarma places in KW hands down.
Once again, delicious shawarma. I know that taste is subjective, but I havent found better tasting shawarma in K-W. And the portions are HUGE! Cannot eat the bowl in one sitting, true value for the money. I will go back for seconds, thirds, fourths... Highly recommend.
This is my FAVOURITE shawarma place in KW. I ve been going here since pre-Covid, back in my high school years. It has been reliable and delicious every time I ve visited. The mean is juicy and tender, the garlic sauce is the BEST, (nothing like Lazeez or Osmows, MUCH better) and the fries are always crispy and hot. Unless I m out of town, this is my shawarma place. I recommend it to any and everyone who is considering dropping in!
worst shawarma wrap, there is no wrap, the whole warp broke in pieces. It s like im eating Mandi
We went to eat shawarma today in evening the rice seemed to be not cooked properly and sauces were also not upto mark didnt enjoy the food at all. It looked like rice was from deep fridge or from past night definitely not cooked today . Food
Loved that I saw my Indian brothers working hard, but pulling a siracha bottle for my spice was the line that should not have been crossed
the full flavour shawarma here is the best shawarma I have possibly ever had in Canada. I would have this wrap often when I lived in Waterloo and since moving to Toronto I have not found anything to match the quality (not to mention at all great price).
My go-to shawarma place here in Waterloo. Ive been going to this place for 5+ years, and the quality still holds up. While the wrap is fantastic, I personally prefer getting the chicken shawarma plate for a really satisfying full meal. Food
I had the large half and half, and they barely gave me any chicken. One lousy scoop which didnt even cover half the box. I think its safe to say I will never be returning to this place again
Great service
Wont go again
I added extra sauce and hot to my order and no hot sauce and regular sauce to my daughters order and I got not sauce and my daughter got extra sauce.. not entirely impressed with the take out service..
Hands down the best shawarma poutine and it was delivered! We live in kitchener but I will definitely order from them again!!
Amazing!!
Best shawarma place in town. They always pay attention to the special requests and are generous with their portions!
It doesnt get any better than this in KW for shawarma. The chicken is always top notch and portions are huge. Oil dipped fire grilled pita always included in the platter, nice touch. Most importantly the flavors on the chicken shawarma platter are on point. The chicken shawarma poutine is mind blowing. Try it!
Ordered box without salad~ overall good
The food here is always better than any other Mozy location. The Kitchener Fairview one is really not worth rating and the one on Hespeler in Cambridge, never hits the spot. I have been a patron here for a long time. Today, Rafay, the young man who works here, hit it out of the park. Not only did he remember my name, but also knew how I liked my order. That is amazing customer service. This needs to be recognized by the brand and the owner.
Akshay is a hero, prepared the order exactly how we wanted!
Solid shawarma spot, and best prices in KW as far as Ive seen. Shawarma poutine here cant be beat!
The portion they give for the price is amazing, cant go wrong when your super hungry.
Really good, Halal food available here. Quite fulfilling quantity and definitely a bang for the buck!
Its mozys. Cant go wrong with the shawarma here.
I always get the shawarma box and never lets down. Super filling and generally they re pretty generous with the portion sizing. Sadly pricing is getting a little up there but that generally is the case for most restaurants now.
One of the best shawarmas of KWC.
Positives: - The food was delicious. - The servers wore gloves and used them appropriately, i.e. They removed the gloves when processing payments. Negatives: - A plate meal was served in a pile as if it was meant for dogs! - The washroom was disgusting! The floor and base boards didnt seem to have been cleaned for weeks. They should be cleaned every day.
I haven t visited the restaurant. I usually order Mozy s on UberEats and it s really good. The shawarma is really so good. You have to try their shawarma with extra garlic sauce and extra hot sauce with French fries and pickles included. Nothing like it :)
Have not had shawarma that comes anywhere close to Mozys.
The best shawarma in town. Always a decent amount of chicken. Go for the Full Flavour wrap with extra hot sauce.
Great food! Sad to see the price increases. Guess no one is immune to inflation!
Meh, not worth it, overpriced for costco deep fried fries, dried chicken thats over sauced only with garlic and hot sauce.... Service is standard, could be better, and it could be worse. The atmosphere was sub-par, no music, and a small dine-in area with rough parking selection, too.
I usually prefer shawarma plates so this is the only place where I would get a shawarma wrap cuz of the flavorful fries and garlic sauce. Big portioned and cheap. Very satisfying and true to nature.
The staff were amazing! Never seen anything like that before. My boys Akshay, ketan and Harsh were so great. Love this place for sure coming back.
Food was fine. Terrible service. It was an empty store at the time not even close to closing at 11pm (2am is closing hours) and got dirty looks and eye rolls. When we left we said thank you and EVEN APOLOGIZED for the hassle and got stared down on the way out. For context we ordered 3 poutines and added shawarma after the order which wasnt a big deal especially with an empty store and I payed for the difference the person making it gave the biggest eye roll and swung his arms around like a child as if we asked him to remake the entire order(I work in food service and stuff like this happens a lot) again not a big deal to be giving evil eyes and huffing and puffing and blowing houses down just that one employee with glasses I believe. Everyone else was nice.
Prices are a bit high.
the prices are great and the food is really good compared to some of the other shawarma places in the area! i always go to mozys if i want good shawarma
Best shawarma in KW
Consistently great food, good prices, and clean!
Full flavour chicken shawarma wrap is delicious and my favorite wrap. Must try for sure.
Was solid, a mid-tier shawarma for the city. Chicken was average, their batch of turnip was particularly salty but nothing I d hold against the store. Worth a stop if you re on the East side of the city
Full flavour shawerma wrap, delicious everytime
In my opinion the best shawarama in KW. Consistently delicious and although its expensive the portion size is easily the largest Ive ever got.
The best shawarma plate we ve had in a long time. Unreal flavour, really fresh. Highly recommend
Best service, good food
The food tasted good. I was disappointed to see a cashier wearing gloves go straight to touching our bread. And I am not sure if burning bread on the back wall of metal coils is healthy especially while uncooked chicken meat is turning. Not to mention it ruined the flavour of the bread, it tasted awful. More hygienic practices needed.
The best shawarma poutine! Ive tried other places and doesnt compare. They also work well under pressure. Its amazing to watch how fast they work (and how well they handle rude abusive customers too).
Taste healthier than Osmows
Makes it exactly how you want. Stands out from the 3 million other shawarma places in Waterloo. 10/10
The best shawarma I have had so far.
Without a shadow of a doubt this is the best shawarma to be had in the K/W region. Slightly pricey but worth every dollar. I often eat a single plate for two meals because it is so hefty. Great service as well
Horrible chicken portions but tastes good
best shawarma option in the university area
Used to be amazing but now they chince you for every nickel and but I ve gone multiple times now and they give less, when I ask for even just a bit more rice they charge me $2 for less than a scoop of rice Don t cover the box in chicken anymore literally a line over the middle
This is a great place to get food with friends, get the bang for your buck here, I just wish the shawarma poutine came in small, medium is a bit too much for me
Not a good shawarma. when I had it was slightly burnt.
Really delicious as always. Thank you guys
Best shawarma in waterloo region
Food was fresh & great quantity
Been twice to this place already this month. Their falafel wrap is fresh, even the falafels are molded and fried right in front of your eyes. The chicken Shawarma plate has amazing quantity for the price. Staff is friendly and never overwhelmed by the rush
Shawarma place
I d give 3 stars, but I won t because I found 2 hairs in my wrap. Short black hair. Good customer service, tasted good up until the hair.
Ordered chicken shawarma plate and falafel plate online. The food is very good and bigger portions compared to other places. You can get rice & fries with it, and even pita. So basically, you can make a whole wrap and still have enough for the plate. Definitely recommend Vegetarian options: Falafel plate and wraps
It s aighttt
My absolute favourite place for a falafel shawarma!! I ve been going here for years and haven t had one as good anywhere else. I personally ask for the hot sauce, tahini, and garlic sauce. Amazingly delicious!!
Good place for Shawarma. The food portions are great. Would definitely recommend giving this location a try!
I dont even want to comment about service because there was a lady who took our oder she was so arrogant and disrespectful
Horrible service by the lady taking oder she was really disrespectful and so arrogant
This place is one of the best Shawarma i ever tried. I feel home made and really different taste than other shawarma places i visited.
I like Mozys but $20 for the Shawarma plate is getting a bit expensive. Ill most likely be taking my business elsewhere.
Service was friendly and chicken shawarma plate was awesome! Look forward to trying the rest of the menu!
Amazing food! This is my familys go-to takeout location. Hands down my favorite Shawarma place in Waterloo. Their Shawarma poutine is delicious and they load up the container. Has some little tables in the back for eating in but I mostly do takeout when buying from here.
Good overall, taste also great
Really good shawarma platter! Lots of sauce, meat and other topics honestly probably my favourite shawarma spot in Waterloo!
By far the BEST shawarma place!!!
This is a nice treat to get when visiting the city! Always tasty!
Prices have gone up significantly so I dont eat here as often as I used to, but the quality is still excellent.
Ive had to adjust my review. We used to be regulars but now everytime we seem to go the prices have gone up & the sizes have gotten quite a bit smaller. Its quite expensive now for what you get unfortunately.
The swarmas are very tasty! They have some kind of special sauce and also prep their bread in a different way. Try the full flavor swarmas: wont regret it!
Giving its a university area, very busy and probably hectic for the employees (dunno), but I still have to say is very expensive for just a wrap that didnt even feel like was eating food. And ya the staff need to be replaced with grown ups and trained ones.
I absolutely love shawarma and Waterloo has a ton of competition. Mozys is my favourite shawarma place in the city, and had been consistently delicious for a decade. I get the Full Flavour wrap and add lettuce and tomatoes.
Absolutely class
I Got mozy fries with chicken it s not enough chicken more fries and less sauce I am really disappointed with the service never coming again Food
Used to love mozys, portions were awesome and a good ratio of rice to chicken, now every meal the chicken only covers 3/4 of the rice very thinly, quite sad as a plate is 20$ each now. For mostly rice :/
One of the most mid shawarmas I have ever had. The service was pretty good - lots of napkins! 2 stars mostly reflects the overcooked chicken, the sauce was kinda bad too.
Great shawarma ..the full flavoured shawarma is very tasty..chicken is well cooked and delicious.
Ordered through Skip, missing food items
The food was OK. If you wanna compete with Osmos and Lazeez you need to put out a better product. Especially with that price. I got chicken on fries. Fries were ok, had a weird taste, using the Costco ones probably would be better. Meat was ok, nothing too good, definitely not high quality. Garlic sauce wasn t good and they didn t put nearly enough. Overall meal was disappointing, I expected more with 4.3 stars but didn t come to pass. Low quality food that left me feeling queasy for about a day afterwards at a medium quality price. Will not be coming back.
$15 - $20 per person. Which is kind of pricey for this style of cuisine. Generic shawarma joint. Run by students of nearby college. Great example of Location Location Location. Shawarma is 5/10, service is basic. Ambience is 2/10. I can name 2 other Shawarma Joints in close proximity. Lazeez and Osmows. They re franchised restaurants but far better tasting. Vegetarian options: Falafel and Fries Parking: Congested, difficult for new drivers
The best shawarma in the region!!!
Friendly service. Great food. Their garlic sauce with the hot sauce is the perfect combination, chicken was tender and the perfect crispy bits. 1st time and won t be my last when I visit the area again. A+ Parking: Parking is behind/side of building
Came to pick my order tonite , the guy with glasses, had no customer service etiquettes and was egoistic. You need to start treating your customers with some respect and be humble . Customers are the reason you are working there .
Its exactly what youd expect for great shawarma, no complaints.
Top of the list shawarma in town, I always try their full flavour shawarma and its amazing, so tasty, so juicy and it has this smoky flavour that you are gonna but your fingers with it. Highly recommend it
Tasteless. No taste in sauce or chicken. Overpriced
Great food, friendly staff! I stop in for a meal after pickup hockey
I really enjoy the Shawarma plate, such an amazing meal with the pickles and garlic sauce
I have been eating shawarma all my life. The food here tastes as authentic as it gets.
Best shawarma in town.
June 2022 Updated Review: I m so happy our old mozys back! For the past three experiences we had, the food quality and taste have both been A+! I ve been a customer since 2010, and this is honestly the GOAT of the shawarma places in town! Today specifically, the meat and the veggies were both super fresh, the meat was juicy even and flavourful! For $15 at the current economy, you really can t ask more than that! The two guys in the restaurant were also such a good team, they don t even need to talk to each other but work seamlessly with each other! I specifically asked for no onions, while they were preparing my plate, I noticed there was a piece or two of raw onions in my plate (which is totally fine), but the guy specifically picked them out of the box! What a legend! Super impressed! I normally dont write reviews... but really cant be silent this time. I have to say, Mozys was our favorite, I started going there since I was in uni - so been a customer for at least 8 years. But recently, Mozys really dropped their ball! 1. They raised their price while they gave us less meat with worse quality - I straight up saw the guy shook out the meat from the cup while he was putting it in our boxes LOL 2. Terrible customer service: we asked for extra garlic sauce, but guess what, their understanding of extra means LESS - they gave us so little of garlic sauce that we cannot even mix it evenly on the shawarma. Are you trying to save up the garlic sauce so you can make soup out of it? 3. Terrible food quality The shawarma was cold (after theyve refried the old meat) and the salad was warm! There were huge chunks of onions not even cut mixed in the salad.... Seriously?!
Burnt pita bread, shawarma chicken tasted old, white sauce was basically garlic sauce and tasted just bad. Left my full shawarma plate as it is in their restaurant.
Love their food!
Extra hot is not as hot as Osmos and only provide chicken. Still very yummy!
Favorite shawarma
used to be very good years ago when the family was running the business after they handed over to too many employees that they dont care about food quality and customer service this place become the worst shawarma restaurant in the area too trashy.
My favourite place in town!
Full flavored shawarma just as good as ottawas
Tried most places in the area. This is by far the best one. Clean and done right. I don t go anywhere else for Shawarma.
Good shawarma for the price you pay
One of the best shawarma poutine places in the university area, good food and fast service
Really good Shawarma salad here.
Best shawarma i have had, the rice plate is amazing
Great food, highly recommended
I ordered a shawarma plate on August 13th around 7:05 p.m. with extra tomatos and a can of pop. First of all, they charged me $19.46 for this. It was an 8 in x 8 in box. They charged my 75 cents extra for 14 half slices of a small tomato. It took three staff to assemble this poutine. It looked like one of them was scrubbing in for brain surgery. When I stopped them and said that s not what I ordered. The one proceeded to tell me that I had to pay $27 to get the shawarma plate because this was almost ready . He also said they increased their prices yesterday, so I would have to pay for a new shawarma plate . The box was half filled with fries and had cheese on it. Not what a shawarma plate looks like. I watched them mix old and cold fries sitting on the counter with hot ones that were actually undercooked and completely soaked in oil. Absolutely disgusting behaviour by the employees. In the past, I have had good experiences here but these employees were something else. I will not be returning here ever again.
I love mozys the takeout is great and if you really are in the mood for no vegetables I would highly recommend the shawarma poutine because the fries are good.
The best chicken shawarma ever!!
Best of town
I really want to give this place a negative rating. Whenever we visit Waterloo, we make it a point to have the full-flavored Shawarma at Mozys. This time too, we ordered the same. While eating, I found a metal hook in the shawarma. I was startled for a good few minutes thinking what if I have consumed it. We brought it to the attention of the staff. They did apologise, gave us a refund and also replaced it with a new sandwich. But finding a metal hook is a serious health hazard and a big lapse in terms of food safety. Big thumbs down because this is not not expected at all from a big name like Mozys. Probably would not recommend this place to anyone as much as i would like to. Go there at your own risk!!
They serve some of the best shawarmas I have ever had. Chicken is always tender and flavorful, never once been served dry chicken. They are very consistent here.
Awful I am a Shawarma Poutine connoisseur it s my favorite meal and I ve tried every place that serves it in Waterloo I liked it here when it was the cheapest in the city but now that they ve upped the prices from $7 to $11 for medium size, I can just go to my fav place instead never going back again shawarma poutine taste and quality not worth the price
This is THE best shawarma place in Ontario i cant lie, the chicken here is like beyond perfect I ve never had a problem with any of the food they serve. Ive tried everything on their menu. The food is one thing but the customer service is amazing they are always nice.. But who ever made this shawarma place needs a medal mashallah. You guys must open a location in mississauga. been traveling 80 km to eat shawarma
+ top-notch falafel platter and baklava + friendly staff - styrofoam take-out containers i.e. not environmentally friendly
Best shawrma around PERIOD!!!!
I cannot visit Waterloo without making a trip to pickup a shawarma platter from Mozys. 10/10 would recommend.
Best Shawarma in town!
Took some time to get my food, worth it
The food was incredible. Ive been looking for authentic shwarama in the area for a long time and Ive finally found it! My wifes boyfriend recommended this place and I was skeptical at first but Ill be coming in whenever Im nearby.
honestly rly good. stopped mid muck to drop a review
Went in to get some takeout spent 95$ on my products, that I usually pay 65$ for thats a 45% increase on there food, and didnt give the proper amount that i paid extra for, my family and i have been coming to this place for the last 6 years and gotten the same stuff and now has some smugneass kid who stated his father was the owner was so rude and Unprofessional rude person continued to argue with me when I stated that they gave the wrong amount of chicken that I paid an additional 10$ for, I stated that have been coming for years every week and now not only are they cha 45% more then last month but now also there ripping people off the amounts they give portion wise, would not recommend going here ever again, I will ensure that I also spread the word an my large workplace, so so so disgusted with the behavior of the owners son that I will never go back.
Great customer service
Best shawarma in town
Honestly, you haven t eaten shawarma until you have eaten at mozys in Waterloo. They have perfected this and I won t eat at any other shawarma place
The shawarma is quite small for the price. It tasted pretty average.
Large portions, delicious chicken and toppings over the best kind of fries and rice. Some of the best shawarma in the area. The garlic sauce is tasty, and the hot sauce is Sriracha, so I would add more if you like it hot! Mozys is the shawarma that made me realize that shawarma is my second favorite food.
The takeaway box is much smaller than before
Delicious shawarmas. Definitely try chicken shawarma and falafels. The food quality, taste and service is excellent!!
Disappointing shawarma, much better options in the area.
The food was too suacy. I was lost in the sauce and I felt nauseous after the food. Please find a fixed measurement for the sauces because that was very bad.
