I was worried about this one but it was totally worth it. The food is FANTASTIC and amazing portions. Definitely recommend the Shawarma and especially the poutine after a great night. The staff are nice and quick! If you want great affordable eats with lots of seating, this is your place.

Best place for shawarma in Ottawa ( the shawarma capital 😆). Go for their platters. Usually can feed two of us.

They are very generous with their portion and flexible with the ratios. I always add to oil salad or extra roasted eggplant for free or sometimes a 2 dollar extra charge.

They have more than three branches around Ottawa but this is the oldest at downtown.
Watch out for lineup during the busy hours but they never run out of food.

The prices is reasonable and you don’t need to pay tips. I wish they bring lamb shawarma as well.

The Best shawarma plate and wrap I have had in North America so far. Chicken shawarma is the best and flavorful, their garlic sauce is to die for! Free Parking is also available. The beef/lamb shawarma is also good but fatty. Their garlic potatoes are amazing and go along soo well with the shawarma plate.

Loved the food. It tasted amazing. We recently visited this place and we were four people. We went for dine in and ordered 1 chicken shwarma plate, 1 chicken kebab box and 1 small tabouli.
We loved the shwarma plate the most. Kebab was good as well but Shwarma exceptional. Really loved the portions and fresh servings and the complimentary mint candies were also great. Overall this place is an A+ for Shawarma.

Coming from Toronto heard so much hype about Shawarma palace in Ottawa. Was sort off dissatisfied with the flavour as it seemed sorta bland to me as compared to the local shawarma joints in toronto but nonetheless they load it up. Had the mix platter of Chicken and Beef and ate it for lunch and dinner. Definitely had better Shawarma platters. Service on the other hand was outstanding as they help you right away and load it up as it hets busy really fast. The potatoes were really good boiled and spiced nicely with the garlic sauce.

Chicken platter portion is enormous; enough for 2 people, or one EXTREMELY hungry person. The quality is usually very good, but each item is quite inconsistent, which is the reason for the 4 star rating. I get take out about once a week, and some platters are amazing, while others could be better.

Chicken plate (4.3/5) - Always tons of chicken; thick slices and moist, but sometimes it is burnt. Rice flavor is hit and miss; this time it was harsh tasting and not enjoyable.
Garlic sauce, hummus, potatoes and salad are always amazing.

Falafel (3/5) - they used to be really good, but recently have not been fresh at all. They seem like they have been sitting out getting stale for hours and are drenched in oil on the bottom.

I would say it's a bit expensive but there shawarma plates are always a hit. Drinks are expensive and shawarmas are over priced but the shawarma plates are amazing!! And staff are nice often, shout out to the older man who works their he's really cool. The younger guy kinda got mad at me when asking for extra sauce but oh well. The shawarma plate mixed and potatoes are delicious tho!!
