This is my favourite place in all of Ottawa when it comes to shawarma. I love their potatoes because they're the only place that doesn't serve them in a puddle of grease.

They had a big menu with lots of choices. Great tasting food and fast service. Although we had take-out the restaurant was big with clean and comfortable seating.

This property failed a s a Harvey's restaurant, is is really no better now. The property seems to be geared to a lower end demographic, and if that is what it strives for with product that would not make it in the 'main stream' then it is succeeding

Very friendly staff, super relaxed and caring. It is great value for money, huge portions and most importantly fantastic food! The only thing I would suggest is that more time be spent on cleaning the bathrooms... they were dirty. Other than that it was a great experience, we will definitely be going back!

This place has amazing food! Their chicken shawarma is really good, their meat is always fresh, unlike some other shawarma places I've tried. The only thing I would say is that they often do not turn up their heat, making it really uncomfortable when dining in.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon and only wanted to pick up a shawarma wrap. The line looked short, but there were a couple of families there that ordered 10 plates and another that ordered 5.

One of the best shawarma in town! Although not the cleanest restaurant in the sit down area, I try not to think about it and order to go. Yep, it`s that good;) Very popular, the line ups can be long...
