So i went after seeing those other reviews.. but what an experience. (1) the food is not tasty at all. I got chicken kabob and chicken daily special aka tv special but dude it's nothing. You can get much tasty food any plsce else. So may be i got the wrong item but what I got was not good. (2) got yogurt / laban drink which was nothing but water..lol..i mean for $2.50 the el cheapo won't buy a better yogurt. (3) last but not least if you are a pakistani/Indian or bengali anybody who is brown .. from south asia please do NOT go here. This establishment is run by some RACIST folks who are rude to certain ethnicities and nice to others. Or may be they just talk like that but my experience of asking for an extra sauce ended up in the bald middle eastern stalky short height guy yelling at me that we already gave you 4 sauces where I only had 2 and I had ordered two platters. So he was wrong there but if you know about middle eastern folks they could never be wrong lol.. now I sound like I'm stereotyping but hey he started it... Guys just be aware... don't believe the folks coming in and going out... May be spend a couple more bucks some place where you can dine without a racist and discriminatory experience. read more

Was OK. Restaurant was pretty busy, and they were very fast at putting out the orders. Had a super sized spicy chicken shawarma, was huge and very generous on portions from the dinner plates that everyone else around me was ordering. Hummus was excellent as well. I love spicy food but it overpowered the chicken. Every bite was banana peppers, sauce and pickles and I couldn't taste any chicken. Was pretty noisy place and kind of expected that with all the people coming and going. However had 20 minutes of the cook loudly hacking at shawarma meat on the flat top with a metal spatula nonstop the whole time we were there. Left a little early to escape the noise. read more

I enjoyed my food I had chicken on sticks, definitely was something different. My one and only experience there was terrible and definitely wouldn't go back. Accusing a customer of stealing cans of pop which are behind the counter when the customer claimed he ordered a combo then the man behind the counter stopping himself from using a racial slur. read more

Chicken on the sticks will forever be my guiltiest pleasure. Love the service and the food. Pro tip: you can get half sticks and half rocks. It'll blow your mind. read more

This location is so busy all the time, only because the food is great! If you want the hot sauce they double check and warn you that it's really spicy and trust me it is! It would be great if they could seat more people since a couple of times I had to sit on the curb outside since they were full up. read more

They used to cook their chicken well until their business started booming and during rush hour where they will undercooked the chicken. This is still my favorite osmow but today on March 22nd I got explosive diarrhea after eating here and I know this because I didn't eat anything else all day read more

BEST Shawarma I usually choose chicken or beef shawarma on the rocks (rice) or on the sticks (fries) Garlic sauce is great hot sauce is SUPER HOT. try mild/medium before thinking you can take the Hot. I would always suggest take out, eating in is terrible, they are loud banging on the grill and the temperature is usually uncomfortable. read more

After our TD Tree Plant Day event in Brampton, our entourage of coworkers were feeling for something Mediterranean. Luckily for one of our buddies, they recommended that we come here. In the busy plaza right across from the Chrysler factory, in a busy plaza is Osmow's. Serving your classic beef/ chicken shawarmas and salads to classic plates filled with their homemade rice and frites! The ambiance is busy during peak lunch hours, and one thing's for sure, Osmow's doesn't make you wait long for your order. The place is busy, clean, lots of seating with the friendly lady who was helping us. TIP, when you saw chicken on the 'ROCKS' its on RICE.... not ice lol... like a whisky on the rocks type of thing lol... "STICKS" are fries....or FRITES...if you're French lol... I decided to order their CHicken on the ROCKS and RICE...and upon choosing their sauces, it ranges from non spicy, mild, spicy, really spicy, or suicide spice... I opted for SPICY and go "the look" as if they were wishing me good luck. The price was reasonable approx $12 but the portions were massive, that I with a big appetite had to take some of it home. overall the place is great, the staff are friendly! if I am ever in the area, I'll be sure to stop by..... i think ill try their Mild as spicy was quite spicy.. lol.. read more

Best Shawarma place! I came from Dubai and eating here brings back memories!

I have been a fan of Osmows for twenty yrs. I have many fond memories of the streetville location and was very excited when I started to see them pop up all over. I always stop when I see a new location, Milton, south west Brampton and so on and so on. So when I found an Osmows on Chrysler dr, I of coarse stopped to pick up my fav. Shawarma on the rocks. I grabbed it to go and was looking forward to it all the way home, however I was really disappointed by how little chicken I had on this order. It was about a third of what I have received at every other Osmows. read more

They put more effort into their service/food quality when it's NOT busy...which is never. The lady who works cash needs to watch her attitude when people ask legitimate questions about the menu, too. As far as food, the chicken on the rox is proper with a reasonable amount of sauce and well-seasoned. Only been here once and that was it for me. Mississauga location is 10x better. read more

Every experience is the same. The same great attitude and enthusiasm is there, the quick service, very affordable, and the food is amazing! Absolutely love their chicken on the rocks!! If I want Mediterranean food, osmows is my first choice, second, and basically my only choice. read more

I have to agree with Jane review. The girl who takes order is SUPER RUDE. They have NO clue what they are doing. Sometimes Garlic sauce is missing or other ingredients are missing and when you ask them to add them..you get weird rude look and faces and then you get asked pay for that. I get asked to pay for table salt sprinkle on fried..can you beat that...It shows their greedy mentality and really bad customer service. I go there because its close to my office otherwise i wouldn't think once to pick another option. I will definitely avoid them as much as i could. They don't deserve clients for their business with such rude and obnoxious attitude. read more

I love all Osmows location, but the streetsville still tastes better. This place seems to have better deals and way WAY less wait times. I always get the "today" deal with chicken shawarma on rice with side salad for $7.99. They stuff the plate literally. Rice is always falling off. I wish I was eating some right now. read more

One of the worst restaurants to date owned by Osmow's. The service is horrible, food is okay & the amount of food given at this location is much less, it feels like they assumed you ordered a Regular chicken on the rockers as opposed to a Large. I will never ever come back because I love gave this location 10 chances back to back. And too many employees chit chatting and not be suing attention to the food, often times it is over heated and I received many pieces of burnt chicken. Just horrible service and quality of food over all. read more

They have no concept of making an authentic shawarma. Horrible unfriendly service and the nerve to charge $1 to pay by card.

Kinda slow on service but food is delicious. Even if you order before pick up they don't prepare the food until you arrive. Do get the chicken shwarma dinner! You can get a dinner size and they give you lots of salad which is delicious. It is amazing! They pack the salad full of feta and olives too! Very delicious quality! Always busy, don't go if you are in a rush! Also, the "special sauce" is mayo in a bottle, well at least I saw the worker filling the bottle from a larger mayo container. Use lightly! read more

This review is for the Lakeshore branch. We drove all the way from Michigan yesterday, and my dad was raving about how awesome their shawarmas are because he tried them last year. After finally getting there, we started our order, and the cashier was extremely rude. He would snap at us whenever we asked a question about the menu, and had a very negative attitude. He clearly saw we were a big family (there were 6 of us), and each time we ordered something, he seemed in a hurry to complete/end the order. We ordered tabbouleh and hummus, and they said they did not have any. I recalculated the order because he was very distracted while taking our order. Our bill came out $74, even though the food we received was for $67. When I confronted him about it, after standing in line for 20 minutes, he realized he charged us for an extra rice and extra fries. I asked for the money back, and he gave me $5 plus some change, although he was supposed to give me $9 back. After I realized this and turned around to point this out, the line to the register was all the way to the door. So, this review my way of getting back at them. Also, I don't understand the hype. The food was mediocre. I've had better shawarmas in Dearborn, MI. Heck, I've had better shawarmas in Midland, MI (which is in the middle of nowhere). I had high expectations for this restaurant, and I was extremely disappointed. Never going back again, not to Lakeshore or any of their other branches. read more

It's very hard for them to understand what you want in your shawarma. I've been here 3 times and 3 times they messed up my order. The 2 times they did not provide me with hot sauce (in the shawarma or on the side), and the other time they forgot to add a topping I asked for on my shawarma. I don't like how the fact you cannot see what they are adding and not adding onto your food. Place is always busy, the shawarma was a big on the soggy side (lettuce felt too soggy) but the toppings and meat were fresh other than that. Too bad they don't understand on several occasions and for the watered lettuce, place would be great. read more

So Dirty. Kitchen is gross. Went for the Lentil soup, they didn't have it. Falafel? Nope. Should not have wasted my time. Ingredient are basically bulk food service. Not very good at all. read more

There shawarma is different than most places and there quantity is generous. There chicken in the rocks is really good. The larger one is really big so make sure your really hungry if you order one. There garlic sauce is good make sure you put little extra read more

I dont really know how to rate this place. I usually get the 'chicken on the rocks', which by itself is good. The portion size is satisfying for the price you pay. I would rate it higher if it weren't for the customer service. I go to the location at Chrysler Drive in Brampton and they're very inconsistent. I usually get a younger lady (early 20's) and someone who I'm guessing is her mum. I usually get the spice on the side and I would sometimes get charged for it and sometimes I get it for free. It seems like they would randomly charge you stuff without you knowing unless you purposely check your receipt, which I've now started doing. Other than that, food's okay, not sure about all the hype though. read more

This place has great tasting food from their chicken on the rocks plate to chicken shawarma wrap. Lately I haven't been a fan of restaurants charging extra for hummus and tahini sauce but I guess it's the norm now. One of the best tasting shawarma places in Brampton! I prefer the shawarma wrap rather than the plate. Majority of the time I go with the super chicken shawarma. As well be on the lookout for various In-house specials. Overall great tasting food and price seems reasonable. read more

I ordered on the phone takeout a chicken on tge rocks, it was ready for me when i reached tge restaurant. Very happy with my food. I noticed they have raised there prices now and charge for everything. But its worth it, the food is delicious. Definitely coming back here read more

Been to many shawarma places, this place offers excellent prices, great quality food/ingredients, and simply the Best shawarma in the city of Brampton! read more

The best Shawarma in town. Daily special with salad and on the rocks deal. Amazing! Need to update their time on Saturdays. They open at 11am Saturday morning not 10:30am as advertise on Yelp. read more

Honestly, not sure what has happened to this place ... we ordered the falafel and when we got home there were barely any pieces of the falafel in the wrap and the falafel were almost burnt, barely chewable and edible... they use to make their falafel fresh before but now they get them frozen according to the staff ... read more

The food is OK and the service is OK. The taste of the chicken is never consistent and for the odd time you may get a bone in your food. The portions are definitely worth it for the price you pay. read more

Good food, but used to be better when it was made by Osmow himself. Lineups are still a problem though.

I've tried falafel at MANY different places in Brampton and none compare to Osmow's! Brampton's best falafel for sure. read more

NO DELIVERY?! After spending 3 hours on the phone trying to get through to them, they said they don't do delivery despite what is stated here. If you go into the store, order the chicken on the rocks (rice). If you like stix (fries), they let you order half rocks and half stix. read more

This place used to be good but not anymore. So disappointed with the food. The chicken was dry and left a bad after taste. There was also a funny smell in the restaurant. We couldn't tell if it was the table or perhaps they used a dirty cloth to wipe the table down. Overall, not a good experience. read more

The reason I am giving them two stars it is because of the girl who takes the order she is very rude and not at all helpful sorry i did not get her name. The food is ok i have been there a few times because it is not far from my house. Not sure if I will be going back. read more

This place is a hit or miss most of the time. I think their food is nothing special but what makes it addicting for me (and for other people from what I've seen) is the garlic sauce. Their garlic sauce is so scrumptious. I've had Mediterranean food and none of the garlic food I've had then compares to their garlic sauce. I never order anything there without a side of extra garlic sauce on top of what they already give you. Their hit is chicken on the rocks or their shawarma which are both good. The food is pretty cheap for the amount they give you. I've had times where they gave me rice that was too hard (the ones you get from the very bottom of the pot which shouldn't be served in my opinion) ), times where they gave me chicken with bones still in it, times where they effed up my order and put hot sauce on my food when I specifically told them not to, and times where they put hot peppers on my boyfriend's shawarma and he's like deathly allergic to it. So in the end, it's really their customer service I have a problem with. People there just really don't listen enough. They mess up a lot of the orders. Also they charge you for literally everything there. Extra garlic sauce, hot sauce on the side, bag that you didn't ask for. Like seriously how hard it is for them to ask if I wanted a bag or not rather than hiding the extra fee? The line up in that place is ridiculous too. The wait can take as long as an hour. And they can't handle very busy days. They get embarrassingly disorganized. read more

great food , love this location i wish the rest of the locations were as welcoming . This location gives your moneys worth while the others are a little more on the skimpy side . read more

it's gotten a lot worse. i use to visit this place before it was popular, sam use to take his time and make it well. now it's just business, and it tastes bad. he's pushing his long term clients away to other places that are opening up, and doing a better job for the customer. read more

Excellent food, friendly staff, quick service and cheap. We often go there for shawarma and falafel's... never disappointed.

I initially tried osmows because my doctors office was just next doctors office was just next door. My husband and I noticed how busy it always was and decided to try it out...the chicken on the rocks and shawarma sandwiches are amazing...kind of a couple times a month craving. I'm not one for spice so I don't usually get any spice (I have young kids too) but the one time I got "mild", my eyes watered tremendously. Love the garlic sauce. read more

I got osmow's twice and once I had a hair in my food, the second time I had what looked liek a piece of a scrub brush. They've lost my business and by word of a mouth advertising - I don't recommend it. They all look dirty as well. read more
