    This restaurant is great! The falafel is very fresh and the the meat is tender and well seasoned. We ordered for takeout and everything was excellent. The za'atar fries were also really good. The service was good and prices were very good, especially considering the quality of the meat. We will definitely be eating here again.

    Nov 2022: The prices went up but the quality went way down sadly. Nobody liked their chicken or beef wraps. The fries were good but the fried cauliflower was bad also.

    I’ve been here 4-5 times and always order the same because it’s sooooo delicious!! Beef and tahini bowl with added falafel and cauliflower. And Zataar bread/pie with hummus and tahini for dipping. Next time I’ll have to try something new because I’m sure it’s all good. Plus the staff is super friendly which is awesome! Thanks Bibi’s, I’ll be back for sure 😊

    This is not a shawarma place and they rightfully don't try to be. The food tastes different than a shawarma and for this, I like it It's nice to try something different sometimes. It is a little pricey, but not too much. The service is counter service and the seating is not very comfortable. They have a deli-like take out cooler as well which is nice. If you are in the mood for something a little different, check them out (at least once).

    The food was amazing and the customer service was excellent. So many vegetarian and vegan options, I had fried cauliflower and a zaatar pie with some added ingredients, so tasty! The price was good too. Not much seating and you'll have to find parking in the surrounding area, but would definitely recommend this little eatery.

    We ordered the falafel wrap, large fries, large cauliflower, and fattoush salad. The food was extremely over seasoned/salty. The dressing for the fattoush salad was extremely acidic and made my partner sick for the remainder of the evening. On the positive side the falafels themselves were fresh tasting, but unfortunately for Bibi’s there are overall tastier options within driving distance.

    Super glad I discovered this gem in the city. I got their shawarma wrap and fries. The fries are coated with zaatar spices, and it was so delicious and flavourful! The wrap was fully loaded and delicious too. Great spot 👍🏼

    The food was delicious and had a very different flavor than other shawarma style wraps due to the interesting toppings they use. The price was slightly high, but fair, considering the quality of the ingredients used. 👍 The beef+tahini wrap was incredible, I would highly recommend it. Beautifully simple and the beef itself was so soft. Baharat chicken wrap was also very tasty and had a really nice fresh flavor. Both wraps tasted completely unique from one another! 👌 Zataar fries had a really nice flavor to them, the fries themselves were good for frozen fries. 🍟

    best fries and falafel that I have had in Ottawa so far. It was by accident that I saw this place. The smell really was so great from the outside that I had to go in. Well that was a great move. If you are ever in beechwood it is a must try!!

    Food is incredible, however the portion I got wasn't. I ate the meal super quickly and was still hungry afterwards. If they could introduce a bigger bowl, or fill up the current bowl by at least 20%, I'd easily give this place a 5*

    Always a phenomenal experience with meals from BiBi's! I want to try everything on the menu, although I've got a few favourites already 😍 Fresh ingredients = healthy and delicious meals!

    Just ordered from here after looking forward to it for awhile. I’d say the veggie aspect is nice and fresh, however the meat portions for the chicken were very small. My main issue thought was the beef… definitely could not have been much drier, to the point that it’s actually inedible. We had to throw the beef out and replace it with the extra cauliflower that we ordered in one of the other bowls. Overall had its ups and downs, but likely won’t order again based on the dry beef and meat portions.

  • 2/5 Rachel 2 years ago on Google
    The food is great and the portion sizes are really big but both times I’ve been I’ve experienced poor customer service which has turned me off. The first time our order was completely wrong but we got it sorted in the end. So the next time we ordered online to ensure no mix ups. But I don’t understand what the point is of ordering 45mins in advance online if you still have to wait 30 minutes when you pick it up. I found this really unacceptable and disappointing since the food is actually really good. Unfortunately we probably won’t be back.

    This may actually be the worst food I've ever had in my life. I love a good fattoush salad but something was seriously wrong with this one. It was so incredibly acidic and sour I am pretty sure I could have scrubbed my toilets with it. The service was terrible as well. I coudn't eat more than a few bites of it, you could barely call it food. Even the pita chips were inedible.

    For some reason cash is not accepted, it's valid Canadian currency? Probably to make you feel forced to tip on the large screen. Employees don't practice proper food handling. They go from their cell phones to touching your food. No proper hand washing. Thanks but I won't be returning.

    came here for lunch and got the chicken wrap. it was so delicious and exceeded my expectations. the store itself is so warm and welcoming place and so was the server. 10/10 would recommend 💯

  • 4/5 Alexandre G. 6 months ago on Google
    Great food (esp the Za'atar fries) but come on now with the wooden forks. I could respect the environment effort if the trash outside didn't have a single large trash bag for waste and recycling combined, and the compost container full of metal and plastic... but no, let's save the planet with shards of wood in my mouth.

    My daughter and I were there for lunch on Friday. We ordered spicy chicken and beef in bowls and fries. Bowl portion are big and both of us had at least 1/3 take home. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Will definitely go back. Strongly recommended.

    I have eaten at this place often enough since their opening to witness that the quality has unfortunatley decreased. The size of the bowl is smaller than it used to be and the quality of the rice is now lacking. I had the beef bowl and it was flavourless, mostly because there was barely any tahini sauce. The french fries were soft. I hope for them that it was a one off and that they will return to their old ways.

    We had been going to Bibi for years but move our of the neighborhood a year ago. I was so excited to have there food again for a picnic but unfortunately it did not hit the mark. None of the veg were cut small, they were in big chunks. There was no seasoning on the onions and no sauce on the tanini beef. I was quite disappointed. The food here use to be so good.

    LOVE the meat/no meat pies YUMMY...can't say which one in particular its the dough, really good, fluffy pie base, and honestly ONE is really FILLING. Make it a meal or a snack, I like that its local and I can grab them to go and they aren't expensive at all.

    Great food and fast. Would say this is a unique place among the plethora of shawarma joints in ottawa. A must try in a beautiful location.

  • 5/5 Caitlin C. 11 months ago on Google
    Very delicious Middle Eastern fast food. The saj they use for wraps is so so good — amazing texture and chew. I love it more than pita or tortilla. I also love the flavourful spices in the wraps and the contrasts in textures (crunchy veg, smooshed French fries). The rice bowls are also very tasty. And the sides are very worth ordering as well — the fried cauliflower is addictive in a way you wouldn’t expect a humble vegetable to be, but the saj chips flavoured with sumac are probably my favourite. Highly recommend this place for simple, flavourful, tasty and quick food.

    Excellent food and excellent service! I got one of the bowl that was recommended and it was delicious! Also had the salad with chicken and yum! Definitely coming back to this place.

  • 3/5 Majid M. 2 years ago on Google
    Brother and I ordered a beef and cauliflower wrap. It was good but I was expecting better from this venue. I heard the ingredients are fresh so that might make up for the lack of taste for some people.

  • 5/5 Liam C. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious cauliflower bowl and reasonably priced! Tough to find a tasty cheap lunch option these days.

  • 5/5 SpringLettuce31 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered a bowl a couple nights ago the service was fantastic as usual. However, my rice wasn’t cooked so it was chewy and some were very hard. The overall taste of the bowl was good but overshadowed by the rice. First time ever having anything less than perfect. Stuff happens. I’ll be back :)

    We had Team’s Lunch at work, and the working with BiBi’s was effortless and amazing! They were always responsive with my questions and concerns and helped 100% as we ordered the food online. The food is absolutely delicious for affordable prices! Will definitely be eating from here again!

  • 3/5 HA 1 year ago on Google
    Good service and cute little location. The meat seemed like it wasn’t fresh, the fries were good. Glad I tried it but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back.

  • 5/5 Wandering W. 2 years ago on Google
