Do not buy waterman from this branch. The man putting the ingredients is cheating the customers. I bought a Saj bread Shawerma with three toppings. You could barely taste the chicken because he is putting small quantity of the usual quantity he should put. Instead of putting three toppings I chose ( lettuce, tomato, and pickles) he intentionally omitted putting the pickles and tomato. Very bad experience. You can even press the Shawerma with your two hands and it will lay flat because he puts small quantity of the chicken and toppings very short of the usual quantity. Do not buy Shawerma from this Osmow's branch at Courtney Park in Mississauga. read more

The food was really good, but the service was even better! I got the scorching hot sauce level on the chicken on poutine, yum! read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Chicken on poutine - Mediterranean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

service was good and food tasted decent however the portions were very small and not worth the amount you will pay.

The lamb was very fatty. I couldn't eat it. It was horrible. I don't recommend that you eat at this place.

I'm done with Osmows. Just got a large on the rocks. Half a pound of rice and a 1/4 cup of meat. If I wanted to spend that much one rice I would've made it myself. So long only going lazeez for now on read more

First time at Osmows! The staff at this branch is quite friendly and their service was pretty fast (but I also came during non rush hour). Portions are large and are definitely enough to share or take home as leftovers. Area has lots of parking and it's located in the Courtneypark Cineplex plaza. Good place to go before watching a movie! read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Osmow's is located in the middle row of businesses right outside the Hurontario/Courtney Park Cineplex (formally AMC). This is a small place that seats around maybe 30 or so but the line for ordering can be sort of long and kind of disorganized depending on how many are in line the line really has no true form. Orders are all in to-go styrofoam containers whether eat in or not it seems. The menu is pretty simple it's Lebanese style shawarma with or without salad and/or fries with rice for plates. You can have pitas and they also seem to have a version of Philly cheesesteaks available as well. Today I went with two specials of the day which were chicken shawarma on rice with a side of salad. The containers were about 50/50 salad and chicken on rice. Here you have to order how spicy you want it. I went with one mild for my wife and one medium for myself. I wont' lie the medium was pretty spicy but I could handle the heat. My wife wouldn't be able to eat medium but she was quite pleased with the mild. Both specials came out to just over 19 bucks after tax. Not a bad deal. Portion wise considering it was a special it was decent. I could have had more and I did because I ate what my wife didn't finish so I could try the mild as well as my medium. There's definitely difference in spice level that makes me wonder if I could go higher than medium. If you don't normally like spicy to the point of hot I'd recommend you stay away from medium and get mild or NONE for hot spice. Perhaps next visit I'll go with the chicken on the rocks which is basically what I had minus the salad (chicken on rice, garlic sauce and choose your level of hot). The food is good, decent for the price, portions but I've had plates that were more filling at Villa Madina or the local place near my work. The next time I have a special I won't get the chicken shawarma if it's going to be that size because a container of being half salad while good isn't what I was expecting to get. read more

I have been in Courtney park location 5 or 6 times so far...I was never deceived, service was quick, taste was very good and portion size generous... what else to look for? I will be returning once a week during lunch weekdays. read more

Came here to grab a bite before watching a movie. Low review rating a little bit my fault haha. So my friend and I got the chicken shawarma combo which was the deal of the day for under $10. Comes with the choice of a canned drink or water bottle and fries or rice so we got fries and a canned drink. The reason why my experience was sort of ruined was because since I haven't been here for a while I forgot how spicy the sauce was so I decided to get "hot" (which is just four lines of sauce) and my friend got "little hot". Usually I think I would be able to take hot but I guess not last night haha. It was so hot that I couldn't enjoy my food and my friend felt the same way but she doesn't like to have too much hot. But generally, the sauce exploded from the bottom of my wrap which wasn't cool, thank goodness for the top of my fries box. Also when I couldn't eat it anymore I had to deconstruct my wrap and figure that I should at least eat the chicken and to my surprise there wasn't really that much in it. So I could only manage to eat about 2/3 of it and I had to stop altogether because my lips were my red and swollen than as if I used that Fullips Lip Enhancer. So I guess, be warned with the spice level and expect smaller portions of chicken! read more

Delicious! Quick service, no frills dining and delicious food. The portions are hefty and you can certainly get two meals out of a regular sized rice and chicken plate. I had the chicken on the rocks and my boyfriend had the same except he had half fries and half rice...carb overload? Maybe..Absolute heaven? Yes!!! If you are in the mood for quick fresh Mediterranean then this is your spot. Tasty sauces cover your chicken and the rock is cooked fresh daily in a hearty broth. Keep expanding Osmos! read more

If you want good Shawarma, you MUST try this and this particular branch. Osmow's started on Queen Street, but their staff doesn't seem to care too much about quality anymore. Luckily, they've created franchises across GTA. I have tried maybe three or four of their franchises, and this one is hands-down the best. TO THE OWNER: PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE! YOU ARE DOING GREAT! God Bless. read more

Came to Courtney park for a movie and stopped in for some shawarma ... I looked at the Prices and was like hmmm looks a littttttle bit pricey for shawarma but heck ..try it and let's hope it's good ..... I got the chicken shawarma and it came with rice as usual and a salad . When they gave it to me they gave me 2 boxes which kinda surprised me one was the shawarma the salad in another box and it was big !! I got a huge salad to start and my huge portion of Shawarma!!! WoW I thought !! That's a lot of food . And to top it all off ....it tasted pretty damn good .i honestly can say it was worth it ! Good tasting food and great portions so worth the money and visit ! Try them out ! Service was friendly Service was fast 2 thumbs up !!! read more

I really like osmows but I gave it a 2* because they recently changed their takeout containers to a substantially smaller container than it used to be. So, if you get a chicken on the rocks (chicken, rice, the "secret" sauce & Tabasco) you get half the portion for the same price. To top it off, the guy preparing it was measuring it and gone are the days where they piled it up so you had so much for lunch and dinner! Disappointing osmows!! Your customers enjoyed the food and the portion size was the added bonus! A lot of my coworkers visited this location but will no longer because now it is overpriced for what it is; chicken and rice. Ps the new container is cardboard and it was soggy once we got to our office and the food tasted like cardboard too /:( osmows is known for their cheesy decor, fast service, their secret sauce smothered in Tabasco sauce. Booo you read more

Great Shawarma. The container is always PACKED. Lots of sauce and spice. Their hot sauce is crazy spicy, so be careful. If I am feeling Osmow's...this is the only location I will go. Great for having after a movie. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Chicken Shawarma with Rice and Fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Worst shawarma ever. I saw the guy eating meat off the spinner and licking his fingers. I ate half and threw rest out. Very big but tastes below average.. NEVER AGAIN! read more

The lady manager/owner working at this joint cusses at customers in Arabic for absolutely no reason. I paid for my takeout order and asked to sample one of the sauces, as i was leaving she said "get out of my a**" in Arabic thinking i wouldnt understand the language. My friend asked her to apologize but she remained unapologetic and kept arguing. Extremely disappointed by the customer service and the manager's behaviour, this is how they treat paying customers. Cussing out paying customers, that too in a foreign language in Canada should not be acceptable. Never going back again. read more

I bought 2 sandwiches! The salad inside smells so bad ! Dirty place Never ho back again read more

I came here for lunch with a couple of colleagues today. We got here a few minutes before 12 and it's a good thing we did because the line started growing steadily after 12. We were lucky that we didn't have to wait in line and our food was ready quite quickly. I tried the chicken shawarma pita with medium hot sauce. At first I thought the sauce was pretty mild, but the heat slowly grew. This is definitely a building heat. I would recommend trying out a medium unless you're a hardcore spicehead. The pita was well put together and all the ingredients worked well together. The staff was very efficient and the restaurant was clean. It got a bit loud once the line started snaking past our table (and we were seated toward the mid-back of the restaurant), but by that time we were ready to leave anyway. It was a very enjoyable lunch. I'll definitely come here again and I'll certainly know to avoid the lunch rush again. read more

Stopped in on a suggestion from some coworkers and have to admit the food was very tasty. I opted for the Chicken special which contained a very nice saffron rice, green salad with a nice seasoned dressing and a very moist and tasty chicken. I'm not a fan of sauces so I opted for a plain meal and was surprised on how moist the chicken was. For the price it was well worth it (2 days worth of food). My friend ordered the Chicken on the Rocks as suggested by our coworkers and lets just say there wasn't a crumb left. Thumbs up and a big smile were the response of "How did it taste?". I didn't see any health violations during my visit (thank goodness). I'm hoping that the the owners took the previous posting to heart and cleaned up there act. I for one would leave if I saw sick people working on my food. Fortunately that didn't happen for me. Whether it be this or another location, stop by for some reasonably priced, wonderfully cooked food. Look to do take away, as their seating is limited. read more

Quit simple the best Shawarma I've ever eaten. The place was jammed to capacity. The food was fresh & fast. There were no pleasantries or niceties with the staff. It's all about getting the food out fast. I had the super size Chicken. It was fresh & the ingredients worked. End of story. read more

It's a Friday, it's lunch time and the gig is Mediterranean, so you know we're hitting Osmow's. We get there and this place is tuna canned packed. Some may just walk out immediately, but you know people are lining up and willing to line up because they're getting something really good. We were in line for about 10 minutes...it was lunch time and people weren't anxious or in a hurry, it was like, it's Osmows's it's packed because it's good. Portion size - If you know how Middle Eastern's are, they are very generous at giving, especially food. So this part won't be a disappointment at all. Menu - Shawarma, plates, wraps, kofta, souvlaki, lamb, falafel, chicken, philly cheese steak, dips like babe ganouche & fava bean, also can't forget the Greek salad or Taboule (if you have room for that). Atmosphere - Busy, fast paced, energized, people are excited to eat their food. Price - Decent, I would say, because their serving size is pretty hefty, you're getting more for your buck. Customer Service - It's an in and out atmosphere, so get a good idea of what you want. The cashier's aren't there to hold your hand, what you're getting is clearly stated on the menu list. People want their food and the workers want to serve your food as efficiently as possible. For me, this is strictly just a take out place, although they do have tables. If you appreciate good grub and that's all you care for, this is the place. If you're looking for fine dining this isn't your gig to sit down and eat. It's busy, fairly noisy, but if you don't mind that atmosphere it's all good, whatever floats your boat. read more

Best shawarma place to eat in Mississauga Friendly workers, good customer service, I highly recommend it to go there with family or friends, the place is usually busy but the good thing is you won't be waiting Long. read more

Update on my original review. Food and Service is still the same. However the reason i lowered my rating is they raised their prices without notice. A shawarma wrap used to be around $4.5 now it's over $6... This isn't going to stop me from coming here, but this was the push i needed to try out the other places in this food plaza. read more

Do I even need to start raving about the deliciousness that is Osmows?! Chances are if you live in the GTA, you know Osmows or you know someone that knows Osmows. And what makes this place great is that they are simple and delicious. Chicken on the rocks, it's literally just succulent, flavourful, delicious chicken shawarma on rice with garlic sauce and hot sauce (depending on your spice level) slathered on top. Does that sound amazing or what?! I've also gotten their falafel and it's made at the time of order, so it's fresh and just as much flavourful as its chicken counterpart. I've been to many locations across GTA, and this one didn't disappoint either. Great location, off the 401. It's a busy place during lunch/dinner but has a lot of seating compared to other locations. And they are adequently staffed so the line moves fast. All in all, if you are starving and need hot, delicious Mediterranean food that will fill you up, look no further!! Disclaimers: Huge portion sizes. I order a medium chicken on the rocks and that's enough for 2 meals. Also, the hot sauce is spicy, so think twice before saying 4+ lines. read more

Stepping into this place, it felt warm and cozy, with Egyptian themed art on the walls. At first I was confused, as the Egyptian theme does not resonate with me when I think of shwarma. Apparently, (if you were in the dark like I was) Google says that Shwarma originated from the Levant countries, which includes Egypt. Huh. Who knew. Learning moment of the day. Anyway, I digress. Back to it... The service was friendly and staff were accommodating, despite it being quite busy. However, I was charged a $1 surcharge for Amex use. I ordered the chicken shwarma plate with Greek salad to-go. I was disappointed that they did not have tabbouleh salad as a salad option. When I opened the bag, I was a bit surprised to note that there were two boxes inside, one was filled with chicken/rice and the other was the salad. The chicken was served over a huge bed of rice, poor rice to meat ratio. Furthermore, the meat was rather dry in some parts, and I found a few pieces of cartilage and one shard of bone. Eat with care. The white (garlic?) sauce struck me as odd too because it was slightly sweet where I expected it to be savory. The spicy sauce is quite hot, but a bit bland. Arguably, the Greek salad was the better part of the meal, but be aware that it is mostly comprised of lettuce. It would have been better value for money if there was less rice, and perhaps some hummus and pita bread, or potato or some other side dish to balance it out. Overall, I'd eat this for sustenance, but definitely a case of quantity over quality. read more

I was in town for some training seminars and needed a place for lunch. I didn't know where to go, but I aimed for a plaza that looked like it had a lot of dining options. Surely there would be something I could find, right? Luckily, I found Osmow's, and, judging from the massive lines, I could tell I'd found a local hotspot. The food was generous and good and served fast (despite the long lines). Finding a table to sit was a challenge, but not impossible. I'd 100% definitely return here, and bring along anyone in the mood for schwarma and a filling meal. read more

Used to visit this location frequently. It was the best shawarma in town. Let me tell you about what made Osmows so famous - their meat is usually marinated with a special sauce that makes the entire platter aromatic and causes you to drool instantly. They (specifically this Courtney Park location) were also very generous with the amount of chicken, lamb or beef that one ordered. They'd usually pile the meat onto any platter or wrap. My colleague and I got a slightly different perspective this late Friday afternoon when we visited Osmows. He ordered the chicken on the rocks and I, the chicken shawarma wrap and the daily special platter (chicken, rice and salad) to go. After he cracked opened his chicken on the rocks platter (usually packed to the brim and overflowing with shredded chicken in a styrofoam box) there was a very thin layer of chicken (the first thing he said was "wow they've gotten stingy!") and a thick bed of rice underneath. When I cracked my chicken shawarma sandwich open and took the first bite - I immediately tasted something off- the usual Osmows taste was missing - no aroma, no intense flavour - just a bland ho humm, dry, run of the mill sandwich with yellowed, stale pieces of lettuce. By the time I got to the third bite my sandwich tasted dry and simply boring, while my colleague reluctantly finished his 'rice on the rocks.' After getting home and cracking open the daily special, I encountered the same issue, a thin layer of chicken and a thick bed of rice. We deduced that this Osmows location might have changed management and were cutting costs (not sure why considering the business owner seems to be opening locations all over Toronto with a new one now opening in Guelph) by skimping on the essential part of a shawarma platter...the meat! - we didn't recognize the team that usually works there (usually a couple of burly guys) - they were replaced with new workers (seemed like a family). We won't be returning to this franchise - this specific location was the place to go, their other locations (and they have many...) specifically the Dixie location was mediocre, and cheap on the servings and never hit the mark, so the Courtney Park location was always our go-to for the perfect shawarma. But now, we'll be moving onto greener pastures. So long Osmows... read more

It's ok. The meat was good they didn't have any sauce except the mayo. It's all over Canada. Good place for a quick meal but I didn't love it read more

Had chicken on the rocks there...i order large portion and got a large but with a small portion and the food was cold... would prefer to go to the streetsville osmow's it's better in quality and serving size! read more

Ordered chicken on sticks with extra sauce as part of a big ass order. Got chicken with no sauce. Sorry- the chicken is not even close to good enough to stand alone. Terrible. read more

Osmows has been on the decline over the past year. My husband and I use to always go there at least twice a week and enjoy our food. But these days when we go our salad is dry, lots of large piece of slimy chicken and not a lot of sauce. read more

Keeping my review short coz iv eaten at the same place in Brampton. I love Osmows in Brampton, it is delicious but the same thing can be said here. Now I can watch my movies while eating on a shawarma than a subway sandwich haha. Oh did I say it was delicious? =) read more

That chicken on the rocks be addicting as heck and working my way up to their extra hot sauce lines. If you like a challenge, then definitely try the suicide (actual suicide - unlike what most bars boast about their sauces). the shawarma is pretty great too, but I'm more of a rice person. read more

I was coming here quite often before. The food was good, however one time I found a metal wire in my sandwich, I think it's from the BBQ brush. After that I stopped going. So watch out! read more

Was in the area last year waiting for a friend before a movie and decided to try a chicken shawerma. It was decent but not exactly mindblowing . I have had shawermas where the chicken is soft and pita bread warm and fresh. Everything felt rushed and I felt the focus was more on clearing the line than pleasing the customer read more

I'm middle eastern and this place is hands down my favorite place to grab Shawarma in the 6ix. I've lived here for 20 years and I have yet to try better shawarma in any place I've lived (Canada or America). I always grab a beef shawarma over the chicken but that's just personal preference. read more

Had the chicken on rocks. Extra garlic, medium spicy. Maybe I was spoiled after having had lazeez first.. I found Osmows version ok. The rice was on point, the chicken was tender but not bursting with flavour, the spicy sauce was hella spicy but there was something lacking about their garlic sauce. Right texture but the taste was just not there with the umpth factor. Lazeez def has the better version. I won't eat here again unfortunately. read more
