My rating is 3.5 stars. I have been eyeing Osmow's for a while. There's a location at a plaza by my workplace. This location in Etobicoke recently opened in the same plaza that I get my Burger King fix. The other night, I felt like shawarma and decided to pay it a visit. This part of the plaza gets busy and there are folks who do not want to park far away. Instead, they clog up the parking lot by waiting outside the front door. I did score a decent parking spot within steps of the front door. I backed in and went inside. You order on the left side of the counter. I was looking at all the menu items and settled on a chicken shawarma wrap. Osmow's has ordering down to a science. On the screen, all topping options appear. You simply say what you want in your wrap (I got turnips, lettuce, tomatoes, and tahini) and you see your wrap in what looks like a panini press. As far as heat goes, I went with mild. I also ordered a Diet Coke in a bottle. Your order total clearly displays on the screen. This place accepts credit and debit cards, as well as cash. I got my wrap and Diet Coke. I sat down. There were plenty of seats. I was hungry. I can take spice. However, I only went with mild and it was spicier than I had anticipated. The heat lingering in my mouth stayed with me for a good fifteen minutes after I had left the eatery as I drove home. If you can't handle spice, you are better off passing on this option. My wrap was good. My problem, and it's a good one, is that I already have a favourite shawarma place -- Pita and Grill. Osmow's tastes like a westernized version of shawarma in comparison. My wrap wasn't as good as that from Pita and Grill. However, I was impressed by how friendly staff are there and how quickly I got my food. If you are tired of Subway, which happens to be in the same plaza, Osmow's gives you a decent option on getting fast, healthy food. (340) read more

Wow have these guys really expanded. I remember when there was only 1-2 locations in the entire GTA area, they in the last 3 years they seem to have gone into franchise hyper mode and their locations are as widespread as Macs Milk and McDonalds - ok maybe not THAT much, but there's never an Osmow's far from where-ever you are (over 40 according to their website). Honeslty when in the hell did this happen. I've actually never dined/eaten at Osmow's before, despite their popularity and their famed "chicken on the rocks" dish (open faced shawarma on fries with sauce), so when this was the closest option for food today I figured - Meh, what the hell. For those not aware, Osmow's is like the Pizza Pizza of middle eastern food - except you know, palatable and actually tasty. The Finch location was a little bare bones but the menu board and front were all digital on flat screens. I ordered a beef shawarma and a chicken shawarma with everything but hot peppers and medium spice level of sauce. Pro-tip, they've actually created a visual for spice level by the number of lines of sauce they draw on your shawarma before the wrap it up. Medium = 4 lines and it's got a bite for it. I highly recommend you check out their idiot proof guidelines to spice, it's genius. It's easily one of the best prepared shawamas I've had in the GTA as they've mastered the actual toasting of the sandwich so that the bread is crispy. The meat and toppings are plentiful and so is the sauce - maybe a little too much as several bites were overly sauced to the point where my shwarmas exploded out the bottom from being saturated in sauce. It's no frills, it's reasonably priced and when you look at calorie counts not that bad for you tbh. For me it's a strong 3.5 star....not quite a 4 but I'll round up. Eatcrest Out read more

I've tried a few different Osmow's and this is the best one hands down. The meat portion is the largest, their meat is juicy, their veggies are great, and the rice isn't dry. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Chicken shawarma plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Amazing!!! If you like shawarma, chicken/beef, and garlic sauce this is definitely the spot! My brother introduced me to this shop and suggested to get the Chicken on the Rocks, which Is rice, chicken, and garlic sauce with hot sauce. PERSONALLY... I avoid hot sauce because I am not a fan of sweating while I eat, but DAMN this hot sauce killed it!! It's no joke. I still enjoyed my food should of gotten less hot sauce but I made the choice to put more than usual. The staff is friendly, one of them suggested I should try the chicken shawarma Sandwich and if I get it next time he'll make it SOOOO GOOD. The large is filling... it's a lot of food. I would of been perfect with a regular. Overall first experience was great, will definitely be coming back for more! read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Hungry girl's dream. - Mediterranean Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

I'm happy they opened a store near my work :D and whenever I'm craving and Osmow's this is the place to go! I love how they have student specials here too as it's close to Humber. I can save a bit getting the student combo but I usually just end up getting half/half chicken! I usually go by 1-130 cause it's just really busy prior to that time and I don't wanna wait in line for that long. read more

Found this gem near my workplace. Ordered a large chicken on Stix (chicken on fries with their signature white sauce) with medium hot sauce. It does have a kick to it, had I not been at work I'd put more! The portions are HUGE.. was struggling to finish even half of it. If it wasn't for the sauce the chicken is pretty much tasteless. Staff was friendly and place was clean, had around 9-10 tables there to eat in. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Went back today and got the medium instead - Mediterranean Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

This location is a very busy location as it is close to Humber College and Guelph Humber. It is located In a small plaza (parking can be tight closest to the Osmow's). Overall, it has a very fast food feel. It took us about 6 minutes to pick up our order as there were quite a few people in front of us. The price is adequate and you get very big portions, not to mention that the food is quite flavourful and tastes fresh. The hot sauce is actually spicy and the staff were super busy with all the customers or cooking in the back. I would definitely order from here again as I definitely want to try the falafel plate. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - a meal in a styrofoam container and a salad in a styrofoam container - Mediterranean Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

I came to Osmow's tonight and I was quite impressed by how friendly the staff were around 9:30 pm. we tried the beef shawarma plate and the chicken shawarma sandwich . The beef shawarma plate came with the bed of rice layered with shaved beef topped with the Osmow's sauce (its mayo based ) and a lot of that sauce . The rice was good , the beef chunks were on the chewy side and the sauce was indeed tasty but since they put a lot the sauce ,the dish was soggy by the time I was half way through my meal. The chicken shawarma sandwich came with all the ingredients they have and it was quite tasty ! The sauce in the sandwich wasn't the Osmow's sauce ! It was Tahini, humus based . I should mention the portions are big and the prices are very reasonable. As we were having our meals , one of the staff started cleaning and mopping the floor. The strong smell of the cleaning products really suppressed our appetite. Overall it's a good place to indulge yourself for middle eastern food and of course for cheap. read more

First time trying osmow's, staff are very friendly, service Is quite quick. I went around 10 pm there were 5 people or so in front of me, yet they still remained quick, I was in and out less than 10 minutes. As for the food I ordered chicken, half rice half fries. The food was hot and aromatic, the taste was really good just the sauce was a bit to sweet tasting to me. I also wasn't a big fan of the fact they just douse your food in sauce other than that the portion and pricing were excellent and I would definitely go again and recommend to friends and family. read more

Big portion of food but nothing that stands out. Pricing is in line with what you get. Warning, the hot sauce is really hot for someone like me that only eats it occasionally. About 13$ for a special chicken meal with rice and a salad which is really basic and tasteless. No drink included read more

Spent almost $30 for one of their plates. Absolute garbage took a few bites and was starving and still had to throw it away. The picture is advertised with a greek salad and you have to pay $1 more for greek. This is the most flavourless soggy salad ive ever eaten. I could get a bagged salad from no frills and it would taste better. Cheap tasteless wilted iceberg lettuce and soggy thin strands of tomato. Their dressing on the rice and meat isnt very flavourful. First and last time buying. Overpriced and cheap quality. Very unimpressed. read more

Incredible ! I've been cominghere past 3 weeks 4 times. SOO GOOD. Great. Money for your buck too! Food super fresh and delicious... they have goood deals. Don't get me started on how good there fries are! Coming from someone who hates fries ! Love it here so filling read more

Worst location out of all the osmows I have been to. I went three times and the sauce is between the pita instead of being put on the ingredients. They are very stingy with ingredients compared to any other location. I am very disappointed bc usually i love Osmow's restaurant read more

I got the chicken shawarma sandwich supersize for just under $10. Very good - I would rank it in the top 3 for Toronto. Great portion size, not too saucy, nicely crisped pita on the outside. read more

It was soo bad. The meat was greasy and bland. There is way too much sauce all you taste is the soggy sauce. The salad was disgusting and soggy aswell. I would have tried the baklava but I was scared of it because it could have made me hate baklava and it's probably a disgrace to real Turkish baklava. read more

Really great sized shawarmas at pretty great prices too! The super shawarma is perfect if you are sharing with someone and neither of you can really eat your own. The chicken is my favourite thing to get. Only thing I would say is that I hate having to pay extra for tsatziki(sp?) and hummus. read more

This location is trash. The food is decent but the service is horrible. The staff are rude and does not know anything about customer service. They got my order wrong and tried to blame me for it and had the audacity to argue about it in front of other customers saying I was wrong. All they had to do was remake the order but apparently that was an issue due to their ego issues. In end, they remade the order but the back and forth was really unnecessary. Would not recommend this location to anyone. I will not come here again. T R A S H. read more
