Restaurant Mediterranean restaurant Shawarma restaurant

😠 These reviews have to be fake. When I got there it looked like they were preparing a catering order. 3 people working on that order and I was standing there for a good 10 mins before I was even acknowledged. Finally a lady asked what I wanted I said a chicken shawarma plate but didn’t see any potato... People often mention chicken, shawarma,

    These reviews have to be fake. When I got there it looked like they were preparing a catering order. 3 people working on that order and I was standing there for a good 10 mins before I was even acknowledged. Finally a lady asked what I wanted I said a chicken shawarma plate but didn’t see any potatoes or rice on the display. I asked her if they had any she said yes in the back… ok. She goes and comes back with my container with literally 2 teaspoons of rice in it. I didn’t say anything at that point cause I thought she would go back to add more… then she asked what I want on my salad I told her, she put 1 turnip and 1 pickle. At that point I said excuse me can I have more pickles and turnips and will you be adding more rice? She said no, I said that’s literally 2 spoon fulls. She went to the back and brought back a foil tray of rice and added a little more … she put a small spoon of hummus on my plate. Some man that was there noticed I was annoyed, he came to ask I said yes she’s adding such small portions. He said oh sorry, and he said something to her in their language. He added the chicken to my plate which again wasn’t all that much. Chicken was very dry, they were very stingy with the sauce as you can see in my pictures you can barely see sauce on my chicken. Moral of the story I will not be going back, I wanted to support a new small business in my neighborhood but this plate was NOT worth $19. I should have stuck to the usual shawarma restaurant I go to. Also, I would not cater from here or order for pick up, they took out frozen cut up chicken shawarma pieces and put them on the grill in the catering containers for that order. Response to owner- I’m not sure you know how to read. I said it was a catering order that 3 staff were working on, I didn't say anyone was there before me “first.” If there was a lineup of people and I had to wait 10 mins that’s a different story, someone should be available for customers who walk into the restaurant at all times. Secondly, how do you know if it was my intention to come support a new local business or not? If that wasn’t it then what was it? Did I just wake up and feel like throwing $19 down the drain? Lastly, the chicken on the grill was not because the customers wanted it crispy, it was completely frozen chicken that you guys brought from the back freezer and warmed up to put in their orders. And what a big deal that I took harrisa and garlic sauce on the side, that’s the least I could have taken as the plate looked so dry. Did you want me to pay extra for those? After I paid $19 for a total waste of food. Must be a joke. Improve your business that’s the advice I can give you. Would hate for you to lose another customer solely from your rude response. It’s evident that you don’t care about your customers satisfaction.

    We’ve been here 3x since their opening less than a month ago due to both how amazing the food and service is. The owner is so kind and hands on each time we have come in. The garlic potatoes are by far the best I’ve had in any shawarma place thus far and everything is extremely fresh. All the sauces are made in house and it shows. I only have good things to say about this restaurant! We look forward to returning!

    This is by far the best spot in town for shawarma! You need to check this place out. The food is fresh, delicious, high quality and large quantity. I recommend trying out the chicken shawarma poutine or on the rocks with garlic potatoes as those are my favorites. The customer service is here is also remarkable, as the food is cooked here with love. Sunny the owner is such a sweet heart, and develops excellent relationships with his customers. I've been going here for a while now, and I'll continue to come here for many years! Please do check out this place you will not leave disappointed

    Thought the reviews might have been fake… NOPE! This place is great, food is full of flavor, staff is super fun and funny! If you need a quick bite to eat that’s cheap and delicious… look no further. Sauces are all made in house Frys are some of the best around Do yourself a favor and get the chicken shawarma. 👌🏽

    One of the best shawarma places i have come across till date. We ordered $29.99 two person meal with chicken as a choice in our wraps. Portions were big and filling also veggies were super fresh (even for dinner). Love the way they served wraps with great amount of sauces unlike many other shawarma places. Thanks to Prachi for that (she did amazing job making our wraps). We also had a pleasant surprise with garlic potatoes. Baklava is at its best. Overall, It’s a must try place for shawarma lovers. Will go again and again!!

    Amazing food, best garlic potatoes I’ve ever had. Garlic sauce is fresh and delicious. Tried the roll ice cream, it’s good as well! We will be definitely going back.

    First time trying Shawarma Spot and I am blown away. From all the years living here, by far the best place for Shawarma in Oshawa that we’ve tried. Compared to the other Shawarma franchises, the ingredients are fresh and the flavours + seasoning are amazing, not just drenched in sauce. We got the meat lover platter and chicken Shawarma. A family run business and the owners are very kind, you can tell it’s made with love every time. A must try if you’re into Shawarma. (Coming back for the desert options).

    Amazing joint. My personal favorite is the large meat lovers donair wrap. The quantity is more than enough for a single person. The service is good. Keeps me coming back for more.
