Shawarma House

Awesome place to eat. They give plentiful amounts and you will definitely get full from eating this delicious food! Customer service is nice! You can substitute salad for rice or vice versa. I would definitely recommend this to anyone else.

This place is too costly for shawarma. The servings are large enough and yummy for sure, but they just want you out of the line and out of their way. I have been here a few times. everytime I feel the servers are inresponsive. Maybe they cant hear over the buffet? Idk…

Great spot. HUGE portions. Salads incredible. appropriately priced. lots of seating area. lineups move fast as they always have ample, capable staff. You couldn’t possibly make a Shawarma any bigger!

Wonderful service! Great place for Shawarma in the suburbs! My dad is quite the foodie and he says it is one of the best Shawarma places he’s been to.
The chicken I can find sometimes a bit dry, so this last time I went I ordered the beef. My nan even had a bite and fell in love. Will definitely be back! Always such generous portions.
The garlic potatoes are always a hit as well.
Atmosphere and decorations could be a bit better but for a place where most are getting it to go, I’d say to keep putting the money into the food because it is deeeeelicious.

After the two palaces, on rideau and carling, this is my next favorite shawarma joint. It’s in a strip mall so there is ample parking.
I usually take it to go but there is a good amount of seating and the place is bright.
Staff was good, guy just coming back washed his hands and put on gloves just before taking and prepping my order.
I always go for the chicken plate and the portions are massive. The containers are so stuffed they can’t be closed. My wife and I both get a dinner and usually one of us a lunch, sometimes both, out of a single plate. The chicken is seasoned well. The potatoes are good and have a decent seasoning on them. You also get a good mixture of rice with one of them being suprisingly spicy.

Great food. Friendly and quick service. Always buy the salad to take home. Would give five stars but the last time I was there they didn’t have the containers they used before but used smaller ones. I felt there was not as much salad as the previous times I was there. Will visit again though.

Wonderful customer service! Excellent authentic food! Large servings, great value. So impressed. We got the mixed platter and chicken salad. Share if you’re not too hungry ;)

Meh, that about somes it up. It wasn’t the worst I’ve had by any means, but its not a place to write home about either.
I walked in and wasn’t greeted in any kind of manner that resembled friendly as the man behind the counter just stared at me until I placed my order. I went with the chicken shawarma sandwich and the beef shawarma sandwich both at $ 4.99, both with everything on. I took my order to go although the atmosphere wasn’t too bad, above the average fast food type restaurant.
First I noticed the pita bread was quite thin and tore apart quite easily especially once the sauces started soaking in. I found the chicken to be a bit on the dry side and the beets overpowered the taste, and although I saw him put on a generous amount of garlic sauce, I couldn’t taste it. The beef was similarly dry and underwhelming.
It filled my stomach and didn’t leave me hungry, but I don’t think I’ll be in any rush to get back here.

Great shawarmas. Good food and prices. They almost always get something wrong with the order though. Maybe there are too many people working there at once? They always seem to be a little confused.

4 meals in 7 days eating at a little shawarma house in a strip mall when you are traveling from sunny California to Kanata, ON for Xmas is a lot. We braved snow, sleet, ice to trek to this shiny gem of a place when our bellies craved their tender and succulent sliced pieces of beef and chicken shawarma (husband’s pick) along with probably the best falafel I’ve had to date (me: the Wifey’s pick).
I would say yes, we are connoisseurs of, what do you call these… pita houses? Shawarma houses? Hummus houses and can eat middle eastern 7 days a week. It’s been our go to cuisine at home as well as when we travel. On this trip in particular, there was a pattern. Day one, for a late lunch, we scurried into extreme pita while in the throes of holiday Xmas shopping and as the husband’s commentary goes, «compared to subway, it’s fine dining!» The second day, we found Shawarama house. It’s blocks away from my sister in law’s house which made our obsession easier to indulge even as we weathered 2 snow storms while we were staying with them. Short, scary, slippery drive, happy bellies.
When you order take out, they load up the to go containers to the point of food bulging out of it, enough to feed two or even three! Generous portions for sure! Being a huge fan of the garlic sauce, I’d say their recipe tops the charts. Consistency is good, can work on getting it to be a bit fluffier, but the amount of garlicky-​ness is spot on. The only suggestion I would give is the pita bread. Change it. It was average. Quite thin by American standards. As the husband says, they clearly are not invested in the pita bread being a part of the overall dining experience. It was thin, flimsy and forgettable to us folk who love integrating toasted pita into our shawarma meal.
The service is friendly, the place is clean and inviting and the food is top notch. It is authentic and fresh, speedy and inexpensive… and if we lived locally, we’d be there probably 5 times a week!
Now that we sound like a bunch of pita freaks, go try them if you live in the area. I would not call them a destination joint but if you are local, they should be a part of your weekly repertoire.
Oh, no docking in stars, but just a suggestion, I’d start the long rubber slip mats closer to the door in this gnarly snowy weather. Almost slipped on the way out!
Ps. Just a follow up thought. The thinness of the pita makes sense for all the wraps on the menu. It would be a bit ridiculous to expect them to invest in thicker pita just for dipping and crunching purposes.

I’ve come here twice now and I think that’s more than enough for me.
The chicken shawarma isn’t bad but everything else that comes with a platter or combo isn’t good. The rice sucks, the salad is ok but the dressing isn’t as good as a lot of other places. I find the potatoes were a little gross. They taste boiled then tossed in oil and herbs and the garlic sauce reminded me of a thick yogurt that had no flavour. I tried a sandwich once as well and it was left on the press for to long leaving that bread with a cracker texture that was pretty hard and dry. i’ll have to hunt out a better shawarma option in Kanata.
