With 300 Shawarma places in Ottawa, it is tough to know where to go. In the downtown area alone there are places on every corner. We went to tripadvisor and read the reviews on the Castle. This place did not disappoint. The place is really small, and not much to look at from the outside. The warm welcome we received... More

The location is pretty tiny, but the service is great. The shawarma and falafels were delicious. Price was reasonable.

Just had a terrific shawarma (chicken). It was very tasty. I had the large for $8.75. It was well worth it. We were offered a soup sample. I have to say it was delicious. While I did not order a bowl of soup I will order one on my next visit....and there will be many visits! Seating is limited. The... More

If you like Lebanese food this is the place to go. Excellent Shawarma, garlic sauce is amazing. Good prices fast service. Recommend takeout. The area is a bit dodgy. I would say in general Ottawa has the best Shawarma restaurants.

Having travelled in the Middle East often, I'm often disappointed by the variations of shwarmas made in Canada. But not this one. Tasty, properly seasoned, good portion of veggies. And great friendly service.

The Baby size Chicken shawarma are the best! And its the hot sauce they put on that makes it. It was different then the ones I have had before but soooooo good. Good service and definitely filling but in a healthy way!

There are many shawarma restaurants in Ottawa. However, never have I experienced such good tasting shawarmas combined with this kind of service. What kind of service ? The kind that makes me walk extra blocks just to experience it. I was not familiar with Sharamas at first, they made me taste everything to make sure I would like the ingredients... More

I was not disappointed with this sandwich. You don't come here for atmosphere, you grab the sandwich and keep going. Good service, good value.
