Reviews of The Shawarma Place (Catering)

Curtis Allain

Best shawarma in this city... Looks like a hole in the wall but food is on point !!!

Atli Eyvindson

Decent place, and kind service, but please give bigger portions. I've noticed the portions served getting smaller the past few years, even after being a customer for many years, and it's not keeping up with other shawarma places. Sometimes, when certain people are serving, I don't even bother entering anymore, because they have a history of not giving big enough portions. Getting lots of toppings and full containers is part of the shawarma magic. You can do it, guys, I believe in you!

amazing shwarma

Derek Taylor

Stopped in last night for some random shwarma before heading home and both of us that got it were pleasantly surprised. I see people complaining of it being pricey?? It was normally priced, if not less than what I am used for the amount we got.Food was great, service was fast and super friendly.

Christine Spence

Love the shawarma, especially garlic potatoes

Prat Dalvi

Amazing wraps.

Corey

Simple and tasty. But above all, consistent every time. And I'm talking about the chicken. They have no beef shawarma. It's Gyro for some reason.

E Manu

I ordered a beef donair sandwich and it was appalling how disgusting it was. Potatoes had no flavor and garlic sauce was low quality. 100% do not recommend.

Nick Kiessig

I get my dinner there on my way home after work often. it is fast, it is very good, and not expensive. The best Shawarma in town! When I hold my summer party, they do the Catering, all my guests love their food!

Muralikrishnan Arackaparambil Venu

I really like this spot in Ottawa. Open very late or in the wee hours of the morning. Really good wraps and the owner is always friendly. Check this spot out before leaving Ottawa.

Miriam FARKAS

Great food, plentiful and high quality. We loved the saffron rice! Friendly staff! :)

Matt L.

Home made goodness

Jason Dill

I had beef shawarma sandwich, it wasnt good as other shawarma places . The garlic sauce doesn't have salt or spice in it . Haven't tried any other dishes but will try others

Anya Marion

Very good

Denis St Amour

Took the shawarma trio and was unimpressed with the shawarma. Potatoes were microwaved and shawarma was not fresh.

Katherine Meharg

Delicious...Clean...Kind service...Healthy...Fresh...Very modestly priced...small family business for decades...air fresh inside...even with air conditioning wonderful temperature not freezing but refreshing...varied menu..for all...Vegetarian or not!!!!Love this spot! I had a eggplant wrap with tabouleh, hummus, tahini, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickled radishes filling at $6.50 taxes included....and loved every bite!

Jeff Johnson

This is absolutely the most disgusting "food" I've ever had in my life. Instead of ordering from Shawarma palace I ordered from this nightmare. The salad was almost yellow chopped iceburg lettuce. Garlic Sauce was just mayonnaise, yummy! The Potatos were dry but the most edible part. The Tomato's smelled of mould, but were so chopped up I couldn't find blue or green bits. I believe this business solely survives off 2am drunk teens. Avoid avoid avoid!

Sona Abbasi

Amazing food and service ????

I used to eat at The Shawarma Place about 3 times a week but stopped after I found healthier alternatives. Since everything else was closed this evening, I decided to try them again. Sadly, the person working there this evening was unhygienic in preparing my food. When I arrived, he was texting on his cell phone and he didn't even bother washing his hands before preparing my chicken sandwich. He also took my cash and touched the cash register in the middle of it. I live close by but I won't be going there again.

Theodore Kincaid

Very good and authentic Shawarma place! Welcoming staff and good service! Would go again!

Ghufran Wadud

Amazing food, taste is pure! Prepared with care and followed the request to the perfection. I requested the doner & Shawarma sandwich to be spicy and received just as asked for. Perfect amount of the meat to enjoy every bite, amazingly balanced with vegies and sauces. A truly pleasure in each bites! Quantity wise just as described. Ordered large sandwiches and received a huge sandwich, no playing with words like most restaurants. Am in visite in Ottawa from Montreal, and will definitely come back for food trip to the capital. Few others food businesses entrepreneurs like Shawarma palace have impressed me today! A must to try!

Gray Cragg

Great ppl great food great price

Camila Arcuri

He did not wear a mask or gloves while preparing food. He had an antivaxxer poster on the wall. We ended up donating the shawarmas to homeless people that got vaccinated in priority.

Sara Edwards

Amazing service and especially great food, always fresh! Great overall experience and by far the best shawarma in town!!! Would definitely recommend ☺️

Jyotwant Singh Dhaliwal

Bread was old. Also, the beef used was low quality compared to the price point.

Beno P Sam

Sandwich was stale and dry and the pita crumbled in my hands, couldn't even finish it. Chicken was dry and fatty. What little garlic sauce there was, was oily and bland. Won't be eating here again.

Jay Xie

Nice shawarma in this location. I will recommend that you try it when you are in Ottawa or if you live here. Nice star here too. Very friendly and accommodation.

Yaz

Best schawarma in terms of value for your money that I have found so far in town.

Great food

One of the best shawarma places downtown

mauricio dimate

(Translated) Exceptional family atmosphere, very generous and tasty shawarma. To discover! (Original) Ambiance familiale exceptionnelle, shawarma très généreux et goûteux. À découvrir!

Marc Aubin

The worst Sharma ever. Gave me donair instead of beef. Plate is so small. Didn't do right order. Disgusting

Tiffany C.

Generous portion good garlic sauce

Sujit Kumar Swain

Was a little pricier than most im the city and definitely not as good quality. Moved to this side of downtown and trying to find a decent shawarma place, this one microwaved my side of potatoes.. very dry with no flavour. The sandwich was cold, barely grilled and the pita tasted old. Really disappointed.

Chris Cartwright

Great food and service! Owner is extremely friendly and talkative. Food portions were absolutely massive and there wasn’t one thing on my plate I didn’t love. Don’t miss out on this place the next time you’re in Ottawa!

Deepan Siddarthan

The guy behind the counter is super nice and his ingredients are good and well seasoned. I recommend ????

Darly Mardy

Worst shawarma ever. tangy

Sammie Marleau

Worst "Lebanese food" I've ever had. Nothing fresh, falafel is store-bought powder mix, I wasn't given potatoes or rice, just stale pita ... ugh so bad. Hope I can digest quickly and forget the meal ever took place.

Revolutionary Healing

Great tasting shawarma, but the fatouch salad was mediocre. Customer service was with no smile or soul. But clean place.

Mathieu Boudreault

(Translated) It is cheap, and well the food is good if you go at lunchtime it is also cheap. (Original) Es barato, y pues la comida es buen a si vas a las horas del almuerzo ademas es barato.

ed basset

What a wonderful little place! Totally unpretentious. Everything was fresh, everything was tasty. Perfect gyros sandwich & piece of Baklava to top it off!

Brandon Oakley

Amazing late night service, incredible food and friendly staff. Would highly recommend

Tyler Brisard

The quantity and quality is not according to the rice they charge

Luke Enns

delicious and worth the price

Sylvain Braun

(Translated) Chicken Shawarma is excellent! (Original) Shawarma au poulet est excellent!

Todd Collings

This place used to be great. The sandwich I just got was the most disappointing shawarma I've ever had. The sandwich is cold, the chicken is cold, tough and dry, they forgot pickles and only placed 2 pieces of turnip on it, there is about half a teaspoon of garlic sauce despite asking for a lot, the not-very-fresh vegetables are pouring out meanwhile the chicken makes a rare appearance. The garlic sauce is runny and flavorless, the potatoes are oily with poor flavoring. I just can't believe how bad the whole meal was. The can of ginger ale was the best part. Definitely head up to Rideau instead of eating here.

george rizk

I visited this place when I was in Ottawa for job interview. I was hungry and didn't care much about where I eat. I went here for a quick byte and found my takeout was stale and very dry. I also understand that in the pandemic it can happen so I can give this place benefit of the doubt, 3-star because I couldn't eat the food and had to go to a timhortons :( Staff was good and prompt though. I am due to visit Ottawa again for work and i'm thinking about trying this palce again. I will bring the dryness up with the folks this time (last time I drove away and didn't want to go back to a long lineup). I read all the good reviews so I hope my experience was a one-off case.

Andre Burnett

Food was decent, friendly staff.

Ronald McKay

Chris Samuel P.

Very cheap on the meat portion in our sandwiches... Says "beef" but it was very low quality.

Abdul Jahim

I really like the shawarma their

Sameera Khan

I've eaten there several times now and everytime I do its great service. As soon as they see me come in I am greeted with a smile and order is taken as fast as possible. Food is decent tasting and they always provide plenty of garlic which I love! As far as the price is concerned it is reasonable for the amount of food you get.

Georges Wakim

The shawarma is delicious and ingredients very fresh and tasty! The staff were amazing to work with. Please pass on our thanks to your team!

Shannon M

Very healthy and delicious food. Friendly staff, they work fast never waste your time and the food is always fresh

Michael M.

This is my favourite shawarma restaurant in Ottawa!! Amazing food. Great service. Family owned and just the nicest people. Would and have suggested this place to others. Portions are massive! Truly authentic taste. Plates are wraps are above and beyond!! P.s try the hummus, it’s absolutely the best hummus I’ve had anywhere! Thanks for the great service ????????

juliana haddad

Great food! Always have to stop in on the weekends to get my Shawarma fix!

Tania Ishak

Clean & Tasty with a diversity of options to choose from.

Mia Guji

Good food good prices

Whazani Hebrew

Great food

Isidora

Friendly staff and good food

Kristina Heatley

Excellent falafel, very flavourful and a good texture! Super impressed by all of the food, it’s really tasty. The Dolmas are 10/10 - delicious! I don’t love that the falafel and potatoes are microwaved - would love to see them fried in oil, or something. Otherwise everything is *chefs kiss*

Justin X

Favourite family owned business downtown and best shawarma hands down. I’ve been going to The Shawarma place for years and have never been disappointed. It is FOR SURE the right place to have Shawarma.

noelle skillings

Shawarma is very tasty food.

Marko M

The worst shawarma I've eaten in Ottawa.

edy aoun

Quality is subpar and price is at or above the other Shawarma Places in the area. This is not The Shawarma Palace so do not expect the same level of quality.

Annelise Knoot

Great atmosphere

Polina R

Nice food

Jack Li

Best Shawarma in town, in my opinion.

Sumbal Moeen

Good food and nice staff, perfect combo.

Chris Ling

I used to go here cause even though it was never fresh because it was the cheapest but they just upped all their prices so definitely not worth it. Chicken and potatoes are always dry and old, overall cleanliness is not there.

SR 71B

The shawarma was very cold. Not visiting this restaurant again

Curtis

not coming back, lacked flavor for me :) but its got some okay pricing

Nathan Mason

I wish I had bought a large instead of just a regular! It was everything I needed in a shawarma and for such a good price! Only $6 for a regular size chicken shawarma and $5 for a falafel, which are both quite filling. Definitely coming back here for my weekly shawarma ☺️.

Stephanie Bates

Good food and a good portion size. The plates are big enough for 2

Karina Becerril

(Translated) Woooooow (Original) Woooooow

Colin Corkum

It was clean and okay food

Kyle Bulgin

The shawarma was dry, pita was of low quality and garlic sauce tastes of raw garlic. The restaurant however is clean and cheap. Also, our potatoes were microwaved infront of our eyes.

Anne Lafreniere

Friendly guys! Was great and fast service!!

Ashley Jordan

Friendly family service, tasty food.

Ayshe Osmansoy

Best shawarma in Ottawa!

Marc Pelletier

(Translated) A great convenience store when you haven't planned to bring lunch to the office. I particularly recommend the Falafel sandwich and the Chicken Shawarma. (Original) Un excellent dépanneur quand on n'a pas prévu apporter de dîner au bureau. Je recommande notamment le sandwich Falafel et le Shawarma au poulet.

Dan C

$14 dollars for some bland Shawarma that looked like my cat after she drowned in the rain collection bin.

Hasin I

Very good food

Amit Mafa

Ordered 3 shawarma wraps (2 chicken, 1 beef). The service was friendly but food was only average.
