The only thing preventing this from being a 5 star is that the meat is pre-cut and scooped from a container instead of being freshly cut from the shawarma griller, but honestly it didn't make that big of a difference after all the delicious white sauce is poured on top!

You can customize the spice level for the meals. The rice was well seasoned, and I enjoyed their homemade garlic sauce. However, I've had better falafels at other Middle Eastern locations. Additionally, they inflated prices a lot, and it's comparable to the Osmow's close by, which I feel is subjectively better, both taste and portion-wise. SERVICE | The one thing that brings me back to this restaurant is the fact that it is a local, family run business. In these days, I think it's really important to support these small businesses, so I plan to come back the next time I have a shawarma craving! VERDICT | Better deals at chain restaurants, but On-Z-Rocks has a lot of heart!

Please take my review into consideration knowing that I haven't been there in at least 15 years…read more That said, I feel like I owe this restaurant a review because it was such a big part of my life and holds so many wonderful memories for me. When I moved to Canada in 1995, this restaurant was within walking distance of my sister's apartment, so we ate there all the time. Back then, if I remember correctly, they had a buffet for around $15 per person, and it was an incredible value. The food was always fresh, delicious, and plentiful. This restaurant became part of many chapters of my life. When I got married, I brought my husband and his family there because I wanted them to experience the food I loved so much. Later, when I had my children, it became one of the places we would visit whenever we were in Mississauga. At one point, we even lived in Mississauga for about a year and a half, and if we couldn't make it to the restaurant, we would order takeout instead. The amazing thing was that the food was just as delicious at home as it was in the restaurant. The restaurant itself wasn't huge or fancy. It was simple, comfortable, and focused on what mattered most--the food. The staff were always welcoming, and everything seemed to run smoothly. To this day, the lentil soup and the kibbeh are stuck in my head. I honestly think they were some of the best I've ever had in my life. Sadly, I can't enjoy the kibbeh anymore because I have celiac disease and have to avoid gluten, but those flavors are still some of my favorite food memories. I also remember that the mother of the family was involved in the cooking. Whether she is still there, retired, or if the ownership has changed, I honestly don't know. Because it has been so many years since my last visit, I can't speak to how the restaurant is today. What I can say is that the memories I have of this place are wonderful. The food was excellent, the service was great, and it became one of those special restaurants that stayed with me throughout the years. The next time I'm in Mississauga, I plan to stop by and see if the food is still as amazing as I remember. If it is, I know I'll be leaving with a huge smile and a full heart.

Tarboosh Restaurant wasn't on my radar at all, but after Suresh Doss gave it a hearty…read morerecommendation, we figured we should stop by and check it out. We arrived around noon on a recent Saturday and the place was completely empty. A group of four fairly loud men showed up shortly after us and inexplicably sat at a table near us, but that's obviously not the restaurant's fault. The menu contained plenty of tasty-looking entrees, but I figured I'd grab the dish with the name of the restaurant in it: the Tarboosh ("Combination of shawarma and falafel"). The concoction arrived to the table quite a while later, which was weird considering how empty the joint was, and sure looked impressive. I dove right in. Everything on the plate was tasty but not mind-blowing. The chicken shawarma had a few crispy pieces, which was appreciated, but was mostly unreasonably dry. (The two included sauces helped with that, at least.) The falafel was fresh but strangely light. It didn't really have a strong flavor of anything, really. I enjoyed eating it, but it definitely didn't remind me of traditional falafel. The hummus was creamy but lacking in a strong chickpea flavor (i.e. the concoction was overwhelmed by tahini, essentially). However, once I began eating everything together, I began enjoying everything a lot more. The included bread help, too, even though it was far from the best middle-eastern bread I've ever had. Tarboosh is a mixed bag, that's for sure. If you're in the area, it's worth a try. I don't think I would travel to far to check it out, though.

My friend orders beef kabob and it is grilled right after you order! Fresh and hot! Looking forward to try more! Overall, wonderful customer service with yummy food. A definite yes to come here for a grab!

Waited over 15 minutes for one falafel wrap, and unfortunately it wasn't worth the wait. Although…read morefreshly made, the flavour was really lacking. The falafels were quite bland and the wrap as a whole didn't have much flavour. I didn't taste any tahini nor hummus. The vegetables also lacked seasoning. I asked for the wrap to be spicy, but there was no hot sauce to be found. I think it would've helped add some flavour. The space is nicely decorated, with limited seating, and the service was friendly. I was hoping for a better experience based on the great reviews and high star rating. I don't think I'll return.

We had come here on a Saturday morning at around 10:15 am for brunch; there were so many items on…read morethe menu, I was blown away! They even were able to prepare dinner items in the morning, which I found admirable. I had settled on the chicken shawarma dinner, with rice and salad; there was also a side order of pita bread which came in a wrap, kept warm until eaten. There was only one other table with a guest therefore, we were able to choose the booth of our choosing. The décor was intriguing, as the paintings on the walls were decorative and beautiful; I really liked it! The food took about 15-20 minutes to arrive however once it arrived, we were pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything tasted. The chicken was tasty, along with the rice and salad; I was even given extra containers of the garlic sauce, as I love to have extra sauce. The woman behind the counter was very kind, and assisted us with everything that we had questions about. I will definitely be back, this place had all of the items that are needed to dine in comfort!

Lack of customer service. Received my food with no sticker sealed on the package. Called Uber and…read morehe said he's just the driver, call the restaurant. So I called the restaurant, complained that there's no seal on the package, no sticker. How do I know the Uber driver didn't dig into my fries for all I know. Unacceptable. And they said oh they don't have that for their restaurant (the sticker/seals). It is unsanitary! It seemed like my food was partially missing, and the restaurant refused to help me with it, didn't offer a replacement meal/refund/ or anything! I was thrown off by everything I threw out my meal and lost money on my order. Lack of compassion, accountability, and for the basic standards of food safety and handling they do not pass that and zero recognition for customer care. Won't order from here again. (Zero Star) if I could. The guy was rude, dismissive, lack of care for customer service, and he hung up on me at the end.

I don't know what everyone is complaining about. I've been here a few times (I'm not from…read moreBurlington, so it's not THAT often, but still) and it's always been delicious. I had the falafel pita with fries and it was amazing. I think if I was starving, it wouldn't have been enough, but for a lunch portion, it suited me just fine. And their garlic sauce is devine! We kept having to ask for refills of it because we were all heaping it on our food like it was going out of style. Everyone at our table enjoyed what they ordered, so considering we had a decent smattering of the menu, this leads me to believe that their food is all quite good. I will definitely go here again next time I'm in Burlington!

It came with a side salad as well as a side of white rice as well as 1 pita. The condiments are where the money shot is. Usually they're great. The onion & the Garlic sauce are/were usually fabulous but in this case they weren't! This is where the wheels fall off! The rice was just luke warm, the chicken was dry & flavourless but there was lots of it. The pita was only slightly warm & hardish. As for the service, our server (no name on cheque) was solid & had a great sense of humour. The ambiance was old school & the decor was in serious need of updating. The bathroom was super old & in very serious need of an update as well. This chain has been around for a while. Not a great reflection of my previous experiences with this small local chain. I would go again but definitely not to this location.

Thinking they would offer more toppings for my wrap, HE LITERALLY ONLY PUT CHICKEN, LETTUCE, AND PICKLES. THE WRAP WAS AS THICK AS A BABIES ARM. FOR 8 f*kin DOLLARS. wtf??? As you can see with my photo, THERE ARE NO VEGETABLES OR MORE SAUCES. Wow. Ive been to every possible Shawarma place in Sauga, each one offering massive wraps with endless veggies and sauces to offer between 5-7 bucks. They tried to explain to me thats how it works. All I heard was "this is how we cheap out on our food and take peoples money." I will not contribute to a business that think they can get away with selling mediocre chicken slices and f*cking lettuce in a pita bread. First time to this place and the first time I ever had to ask for a refund.
