Ottawa Foodies

The food is somewhat good...they got really greedy and tripled the prices ..like every 6 months their prices go up..I Live like 2 minutes away from them....I WOUld love to say very positive things but you can feel the sexism..like women are not important when you enter and are often served last after all male customer are done with. THEY DO NOT WASH THEIR HANDS..NOT HYGENIC!!THIS IS ALWAYS..YOU SEE THEM GO IN THE WASHROOM OR PICK THEIR NOSE AND DON'T WASH HANDS!
Every time their potions gets smaller and what's up with the beef..is it even beef or cat?

This shawarma restaurant is in the little strip mall on Baseline near Greenbank. It's clean and bright, with enthusiastic and friendly service from a team of skilled Lebanese guys. They have all the usual Lebanese items on the menu: chicken, beef, kofta, falafel, all the veggie sides, two kinds of rice, spiced potatoes, garlic sauce, hummus, etc, etc. And some interesting cookie-like dessert items in addition to the ubiquitous baklava.

Great place!

We shared a chicken shawarma and a beef shawarma (that's why the beef shawarma in the photo is chopped in half). The chicken was kind of dry with a slightly powdery texture, as is common in Ottawa's chicken shawarma's. The beef shawarma was very good!

While ordering, I saw another customer get hot sauce on his shawarma -- worth mentioning because I don't think all shawarma places offer it.

The kofta were cooked on long metal skewers while I waited (15 minutes over open flames). But when I ate them I found they didn't have great flavour and had a sort of rubbery texture. The rest of the meal plate was extra delicious though, so I didn't mind. In addition to what's in the photo, it comes with a pita and a little cup of hummus.

This platter would be incredible with beef shawarma instead of kofta. Next time!
