Kinda feels like a semi-permanent establishment. Smash Daddy Burger - A double patty of flattened beef was delicious. It was a melange of flavours that worked very well. I wish the patty was more crispy so that there is more texture in the patty. Naked Fries - The spiced fries were one of the best fries I've had. Fries were super crispy with fluffy interior. There was a good amount of seasoning on the fries making it tasty in flavour and texture. Would come back just for this!

The fries are nice and crispy/crunchy and come seasoned. Very friendly staff/owner? Serves food to the small patio area, and checks in with patrons on how they find the food. I would come back again.

Very simple place just running out of basically a trailer in a parking lot but you could tell that everyone working there was super kind and the lady taking orders was very nice. Took a little bit for the food to come but it was well worth it it's a lot of food for the money and every part of it was very delicious. The chips were crispy as in the name and the cheese was nice and squeaky as cheese curds should be. The gravy was rich but didn't overwhelm the whole meal. Great little spot if you want some real authentic Canadian poutine.

BEST CHIPS IN OTTAWA!…read more This is my second visit to Ottawa and last time I went to a few other places and this is definitely the best poutine I have had in Ottawa. The fires were crispy, the curds were squeaky and the gravy was delicious. Id also like to shout out the person who took our order; she was super friendly and asked me to share my thoughts after, which just made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. It's in a Canadian Tire parking lot, which just adds to the Canadian vibe. 5/5 amazing place!

We were surprised by how heavy the box was! The chicken was tender, hot and crispy!

I'd rate this my tied for my second favorite fast food fried chicken to date.

I wouldn't really recommend it but if someone's in the mood for a certain type of food like hotdog & such and I so happen to be near and A&W, I'd say this would be an option. That's my best way of describing this place without knocking it out. Service was non existent. There's a bunch of teenagers there. I can't say much about the ambiance or indoor setting.

I kept seeing the teen burger and since it is across the street from the hotel I am staying at... why not. I kept seeing the 24hr drive thru busy at all times. Surprising to see how busy it was inside as well. We have 1 in Brampton and it always looks slow. The drive thru there... service is so slow. Ok, so I ordered the teen burger, sweet potato fries and an ice tea. Once you pay, you take your drink to wherever your sitting. Someone brings the rest of your order. The burger was ... alright. Nothing great. I am intrigued to give the "beyond burger" a try next. The sweet potato fries was served in this neat mesh type basket... I saw regular fries being served with this too... it was good. Come with the chipotle mayo dipping sauce. Overall it was ok... the stars is for the neat... different experience.

Two different days, two VERY different experiences when it came to service, but thankfully the food was amazing both times. The first visit was perfect from beginning to end. Amazing service, great food, and just an overall great experience. The second visit... well, that was a little more challenging. The lady taking our order had quite the attitude. I'm sorry, but if dealing with customers annoys you that much, maybe working in a restaurant isn't the best choice. And then, on top of the attitude, the order got messed up. Mine came out right, but unfortunately my sister's didn't. I had the lamb kabab with rice and salad both times, and it was SO good! My sister had the shish tawook the first time as a plate and the second time as a sandwich. The restaurant itself is really nice with a beautiful Middle Eastern vibe, and it is HUGE! I can totally see how they transform the space into a banquet hall for parties and weddings. So, one amazing service experience and one not-so-amazing one ... but the food? That was good enough to bring me back before I even left Ottawa, so I think that says it all! I will be back next time I am in Ottawa!

I ordered from The Palace Shawarma while visiting my cousin in Ottawa, and it was the best shawarma…read moreI've ever had. I was genuinely amazed by the quality of the food. The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with incredible flavor, and everything tasted fresh. I've had shawarma all over New York City, but this was on a completely different level. The quality, taste, and authenticity exceeded all my expectations. Even though it was delivered, the food arrived fresh and delicious. If you're in Ottawa and craving amazing shawarma, I highly recommend The Palace Shawarma. It's easily one of the best shawarma experiences I've ever had, and I'll definitely order again the next time I'm in town! Respectfully, Mostafa

Shawarma Palace might have to take the crown for the best shawarma in Ottawa!…read more As a Torontoian, we have decent shawarma but it doesn't compare to the shawarma in Ottawa. Whenever I'm in Ottawa, this is a spot you got to stop at. I admit it is pricer than other places but the service is friendly and efficient, things that you need at a booming place. At $30 for a mixed plate, I can't say it's cheap but it is filling. Prepare to have itis after and enjoy the massive amounts of protein. 4/5

Wow! This is my new favourite restaurant. This restaurant…read morereminds me a tad of The Melting Pot in the states, where you cook at the table using fondue oil, cheese and choco. But this elevates that process and is Japanese, which is one of my favourite flavour profiles. The ambiance is so nice. There are screens between the tables so that you can cook and eat in private, which I really appreciated. Being new to the process and restaurant, I felt so fortunate to have Jarred as my server. He explained how everything worked and was so patient with me. Basically, you pay one price for all you can eat...and it's such a bargain! There are so many meats, sides and even desserts to choose from. Jarred helped me choose and was so patient explaining everything that had been marinated in soy sauce and was not gluten free. I was disappointed I couldn't have beef, so he told me he would grab some brisket without the marinade. I ended up ordering that brisket, shrimp and sausage for the meat. The sides were sweet potato in a brown sugary sauce, corn, pineapple, and rice. I can say that the sausage was my favourite, had a nice sweetness to it and different from the typical sausage you get elsewhere. You use the grill to cook everything which is so much more fun than just sitting and waiting for the food to arrive. Everything was so fresh and just tasted amazing. The grilled pineapple was divine! Jarred also suggested I order the Bibimbap. It was a dish with seaweed, veggies, and an egg on top. It tasted like an amazing sushi roll. I also had an UME pineapple drink. You can add an extra oz of alcohol for just $2. It was delicious. There are always staff around and they clear dishes you are finished with super fast. Everything moves there like a well-oiled machine. For dessert, I had this little creme brulee, which was just the right size not to overstuff your tummy. So amazing all warm and bubbly after it sat on the grill. One of the best I've ever had. While writing this review, I discovered there is a location relatively close to where I live in Waterloo. I will definitely be going. This isn't just an extraordinary dinner, it was an extraordinary experience. Perfect food, perfect service, and such a great value! This would be so fun for a date night or night out with friends. I will definitely frequent this restaurant, LOVE it! This location also has a parking lot, which is most welcome in Ottawa!

While eating, I found a piece of metal/steel wool in the chicken that was served to me. This is a serious safety issue, imagine if I have swallowed it. Then instead of addressing the situation properly, we were only offered 10% off, which doesn't reflect how serious this incident is. (Looks like really not) I even asked them how do they handled this situation, and they just said 10% off is the best they can do ‍ This is not just a small mistake, it's a food safety concern!! Posting this to raise awareness and hopefully encourage better standards when it comes to food safety.
