Food is great! But sometimes their falafel is dry or overcooked. We always double check and remind them. They're always nice and were willing to make the change. The store is small but it's clean. read more

This place is always busy. We came for take out. I ordered the house special. They practice safety measures. Food is always great. read more

Used to come here all the time, I had the chicken/beef on the rocks extra hot and it was good. Service was pretty quick. I've noticed that ever since they franchised the quality of food has slightly decreased, still good but not as great as it was when it first opened. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Chicken/Beef on the rocks - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

This place has really gone downhill over the years. I've been coming here for a few years to get my occasional Chicken on the Rocks fix but the quality decline is stark. Four years ago this place would've gotten a 5/5 from me every meal but I doubt I'll even be coming back anymore. The rice is saltier, they give way less garlic sauce than they used to, and IMO I think they've made the hot sauce less spicy. On the bright side, portion size and price has remained generally the same over the years. read more

Still my FAVOURITE location. Military Trail. Ordering osmows ANYWHERE else is not the same. Please please check it out here and order chicken shawarma poutine, soooooo delicious!! read more

Food was ok Fries are dry. Food didn't taste fresh Nothing special Wouldn't order from this location again read more

Decent place to visit if you're craving something quick, cheap and filling. Their menu is simple, and to the point. I usually grab the chicken on the rocks. Their medium size is filling, and can be shared between 2 people. read more

I wanted to Shawarma type food so i looked on yelp and found this place. I came here and got the medium chicken on rocks. i had read the warnings so i got it at the light level. Oh man people were not lying that red sauce is HOT, beware! That said the price was good, the food was made very quickly. The food is also delicious. Mich better than Pita Land. I think this might be my new go to place for Shawarma when visiting home in Scarborough. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - medium chicken on rocks - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Ok so real quick. Since I sat down at 5 pm. It is not 5:13.. at least 15 people have come and gone n ordered their takeouts already. That says something to me bout their food. It's Mediterranean food. But it's delish. Not ur usual shawarmas and falafel joints like on lawrence east. They put their own twist to it... Like chicken on the rocks. What is it do you say? It's their own secret sauce n spices on the chicken served on a big pile of rice. On top is their secret white sauce, I think it's tahini.. and hot sauce as well. They also have chicken on the sticks which is the same only differejce is it's served on top of fries. I'm having their house special plate which is the chicken on the rocks with salad. For $10. It's really good. I like mine spicy so the amount of hot sauce is awesome. It's in a small plaza in the morningside and military trail area. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Chicken on the rocks - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

This is definitely a go to place when craving heavy dense food. They have a variety of different dishes here, all with pretty similar tastes. The typical dish here has their style of chicken with rice or fries, or both, or even inside of a shawarma. I really enjoy the food and think it's worth the price, as you can definitely share the meals. I've tried the half and half chicken (rice & fries with chicken), as well as their super shawarma! They are both very good and filling to the max. Even when sharing with two people it can be a little much due to the richness of the sauce and the density of the carbs. The dishes are flavourful, but safe enough for anyone to try and most likely enjoy. There is no seating and usually a long line, so be prepared for that! read more

Ordered take out from this location and was very disappointed in the service and quality of my order the wraps were all made with minimal ingredients and none of my roc's came with the garlic topping at other locations when I've ordered a combo, it has come with medium sized sides questioned this at the counter and was brushed off Contacted head office and still haven't heard a word from them DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY read more

Osmow's Shawarma - two people walking down a sidewalk with balloons in the shape of hearts - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I live nearby and never have I looked at this place twice- it's pretty small store in a plaza. Anyway I decided to get some lunch that's not-so-unhealthy. So I decided to give this place a try. And honestly I was amazed by the quality and quantity of the meal I received. It's pretty delicious- the chicken wasn't dry, the sauce was good, and the salad was fresh with good dressing. The hot sauce was actually spicy, but not sour. I would say it's the best option of food that you can get in that specific plaza by Pan Am. Besides the price was reasonable. Tax included my meal was only $10.75. I would go back again and definitely tell people about this place. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Delicious. Consistently delicious. I normally order a small chicken on the rocks with extra garlic sauce and three lines of hot sauce. It is phenomenal. I swear the rice had a block of butter in it because it is so buttery and soft. The garlic sauce is yummy in its garlicky goodness. Chicken is great, doesn't have that fatty/cartridge bits either. Please be careful with the hot sauce, it is HOT. I thank God that this place isn't right by me or else I would order it very often. read more

Food was barely eatable and a waste of money. Food was reheated on a grill and became very overcooked which made it tough and dry. Service was terrible and not friendly at all. read more

I always wanted to try this place I got chicken shawarma plate with white sauce it's tasty definelty better than halal guys the large portion is too big for the price not bad but it wasn't anything special the chicken was moist which was good there's nothing super fascinating about this place that's why I won't come back here read more

I used to love Osmows when it first opened but now the quality of the chicken has gone downhill so I no longer order from here. The only thing that I still like about Osmows is the sauces, especially the hot sauce. There's many alternatives to Osmows now that there's no point of ordering from there anymore until they start making some changes. Last time I ordered it a couple months back for me and my brother and the first thing my brother said to me was that it tasted disgusting. It is not the same anymore at all. read more

My friend and I were both craving Chicken on the Rox (my favourite) and our craving was definitely satisfied. This dish is so good; it comes with rice, chicken, this white sauce and hot sauce drizzled on top. You get to choose your hot sauce level. The only reason I had to update my review was that the quality is not the same as how it was before. Being a frequent customer, it has really changed. Portions are also smaller than before. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Chicken on the Rox - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Came here to grab a quick lunch after reading some of the yelp reviews. I am sad to say, I am disappointed with the food and service. Upon walking in, I noticed a dead fly that has been squished behind a poster on the front door, and it wasn't like this was on an odd corner, it was at eye level! I am sure employees and owner would walk by it everyday and see that, yet no one cleaned it up. GROSS! That just comes to show how clean the store can possibility be. At this point, I continued to walk in the store (Stupid me). When you walk in, you'll noticed that the meats are not cooking on a spit. It's cooked on a grill. (Not that it really matters to me, just as long as it's GOOD) An employee was standing by the cashier, ready to take my order, however she didn't greed me.. not even a SMILE. I ordered chicken on the rocks. She asked me how I am paying, I asked if they took credit. She just said yes. Now because I read the yelp reviews, I know they charge a surcharge $0.35 for credit/debit. But she never once mentioned this, I only saw on the screen and asked her and that was when she told me that there was. So I said I'll just pay cash. I did notice that under the POS screen there is a piece of paper that's curled up and saw $0.35. I only only assume that was the only notice given to customers. They really should tell customers if you're using credit/debit, that there will be a surcharge. By the time I finished paying, my food was ready. (Everything is already precooked.) Like all the other yelp photos has shown, the rice and meat is DRENCHED in the "garlic" sauce. Now I guess another stupid thing I did was I KNEW going in that they do that.. but little did I know WHY. It's because NOTHING else has any flavour what so ever! Rice? bland.. chicken? BLAND. Also the sauce did not have much garlic taste either. I felt like I was just eating everything in a cream sauce with a hint of garlic flavour mixed in with a little bit of the hot sauce. After a few bites, I got sick to my stomach from the heaviness. The plate comes with nothing else just rice and chicken. I would've preferred if there was a side salad, pickled turnips, or potatoes. I got a medium and ate less than a quarter of it. This wasn't the worst thing I've had but I will not be going back. If you like Mediterranean food I suggest you go to Shawarma Stop in Markham on highway 7 and Woodbine. Much MUCH better and portions are HUGH. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Disgusting. So much sauce but no flavour - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

They make a good falafel wrap. Can't really say much about anything else as this is the first time going here and the only thing I had. It was tasty, filling and did what a good falafel wrap does. No complaints here. read more

This is my go to cheap shawarma place. I come here when I have a craving for shawarma. It is the best shawarma I've had?...No...but it is still delicious and it satisfies my shawarma craving. When I go here I usually get the chicken shawarma half/half. I ordered this the first time because I couldn't decide between rice or fries....this way I didn't have to choose because you get both. I ended up loving it so much that now it's all I order from here. The rice is flavourful, the fries is always hot and crispy, the chicken is plentiful, and the garlic sauce is delicious. I order a large half/half and it's enough to share with 2 people without feeling hungry after. Being able to control the amount of spiciness is nice.... I tried medium spice and it was too spicy for me so I got little spice and it was just right. The eating area is very small. It's mostly a takeout place. The service is fast and friendly. I would recommend the half/half since it's the only thing I've tried here but honestly everything looks delicious. read more

Went to this place after walking around and saw a sign for Sharwarma poutine. Now i love good sharwarma and good poutine. How could i not try the Sharwarma poutine. Honestly i have to say it is pretty decent, it wasn't what i expected at all. but it tasted pretty good. The sharwarma poutine small i suggest is more of a two people thing to tackle. not really meant for once person to consume that much I think the price has shown, cause it wasn't cheap either, it was around 13 bucks for this poutine. I have to admit thought they really tried to make sure you get your money's worth, they did not hold back on the sharwma meat or the garlic sauce and spicy sauce. So unlike regular poutine the spicy sauce would basically replace the gravy. It was actually surprisingly nice, although heavy taste for a single person. I think next time i'm around the area i would make sure i have someone else around, and also more importantly i would call ahead. Cause the cooking of this poutine also took an extraordinary long time which is part of what made them lose the star. I would however recommend those to try it at least once, who have not. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - shwarma poutine - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Four words; That hot sauce though. Chicken on the rocks or Half Rocks, Half sticks. Spice level: HOT! Chicken and rice is well seasoned. The garlic sauce, and hot sauce is a must. My husband likes to add onions on top. It's pretty addictive, and you're probably agree one of the best fast foods out there. read more

Not a very good experience trying this place out for the first time. The person at the cashier told me it would be a 30 minutes wait time for the food and I was ok with that thinking it was worth the wait but when I came back after 30 minutes he told me another 10 minutes. When the 10 minute was over he told me it'll take another 15 minutes, and lied that he said 45 minutes at first. At this point I was not too happy how they kept taking longer to prepare my order. When I finally got my food it was not very appealing and the taste was not as great as I thought it would be, the chicken was dry and it was burnt. Unfortunately I will not be coming here anymore. read more

I ordered a fattoush salad with chicken and garlic sauce ON THE SIDE. When i got home, the chicken was smothered with garlic sauce and had AT LEAST half a cup of liquid (not salad dressing) that i had to drain. They didnt even bother to drain the water they used to wash the salad with. Just a soggy watery disgusting mess. Disappointed is an understatement. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Salad that they didnt even bother to drain. Disappointed - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I have been here before, tried the chicken on the rocks and it was pretty good. I went again today and was pretty disappointed. If this was my first time, I would give 1 or 2 stars, but I know they can do better. It started off woth the cashiers, they aren't too friendly. Furthermore, roght after dealing with the money, I watched him go on to the back to work on the food without washing his hands. No gloves are used either when preparing food. This time, the chicken on rocks seemed smaller. Despite getting a large, it was not that filling which is SO unusual. It was finished so quickly :( The Kofta special had a tiny portion of (flavourless) meat and a little bit of rice to go with it. Would i pay $10.00 for that. Never again. Considering what I can get for that price elsewhere, I was pretty disappointed with that purchase. read more

Lots of options. They even have philly cheese steak sandwich. I had the shawarma. About $12 with tax including hummus which was extra. It could have been tasty if they seasoned the meat better. They nickle and dime you for things like pita wrap or hummus. Things that usually come included at other places. They said the sauce is spicy. When I asked if it was "spicy for white people", or "spicy even for brown people"? They said even for brown people. And the staff would know because they're brown too!! They put a few drips on it and I have to admit it really hurt my tongue. And I'm west indian!!!! Give it a try. You might like it. read more

The first time I went here was last year with my friend. I had "chicken on sticks" it was really good. Sticks means fries. We ordered "chicken on sticks with extra garlic sauce" you'd think that with all the sauce they put in top it would make the fries soggy but it didn't! This location is small, but I normally get my food to go, I live about 20mins away from this location so by the time I get home it's still nice and warm. read more

Osmow's is a fast-food restaurant that serves up delicious, authentic Mediterranean food. They have a variety of menu items, and though I've only tried a couple of them so far, I'm sure the rest are just as good. Menu items include, but isn't limited to: shawarma wraps and platters, kebabs, koftas, and even cheesesteaks! On my visit I tried their infamous chicken on the rocks and beef on the rocks which was so filling. Sizable portions, good quality meat, and that amazing white sauce! Be careful with their hot sauce though, it sure is hot! read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Pictured: beef on the rocks (+ hot sauce), chicken on the rocks - both with Osmow's special sauce Price: $12.35, $10.05 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

This is my go to spot for reasonably priced, tasty Mediterranean food. The service is always prompt, accurate and I've never been kept waiting more than ten minutes for my order. Every time I've gone, I get either the chicken on the rocks (on rice) or chicken on the sticks (on fries). The chicken is fresh off the spit and the fries somehow manage to stay crispy even under the sauce and chicken. They also offer a scale of how spicy you want the dish to be. Note that the spice level doesn't change the sauce used, they just add more lines of the hot sauce depending on your preference. Not much to say about the ambiance here - it's definitely designed to be a take-out establishment. The inside is very clean though and the staff are attentive to keeping the few tables inside tidy. Overall, this is a solid take-out spot and is a nice alternative to your typical fast food offerings. read more

Food is great. Always get the house special i think its the bang for your buck. Its $10.75 and you pretty much get a regular chicken on rocks (rice) and veggies on the side (lettuce, onions, sliced tomatoes). Only complaints is the service, rarely pick up their phone and when you do order and come to pick it up the queue is not respected haha. But you dont come to osmos for service you come for the food. I believe they are the best for the food out of their brampton,ajax and victoria park locations. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - House Special $10.75 People usualy get chicken on the rocks (rice) or chicken on sticks (fries, which is about $2 more) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I think this place is a bit overrated. I got the chicken on the rocks which was good-ish, but the actual garlic sauce was bland and not very garlicky. It was more of a watered down ranch sauce in my opinion. The quality of the chicken as well was questionable. I have to say, the portions were decent and the rice was yummy but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again. Sorry, not for me. read more

This is a tiny space so probably best for takeout. However we did eat our food here and the staff are really friendly! Chicken on the rocks is where it's at at this place. That said I feel like they overhype their spice levels even if you explain that you can handle it -- I got a lot of "Are you sure?!" for ordering extra spicy. Anyway, solid food, really big portions -- I made two meals of the large-- so good value! read more

My go-to spot whenever I'm craving chicken and rice (since Halal Guys is too far) and it always hits the spot! The chicken on the rocks is my all time favourite, with little spice (their hot sauce is super spicy!!) and extra garlic sauce. Wish this place was around when I went to school right by this plaza! read more

The food was really good but a little spices for me. I got the 2nd least spiciest sauce and it was really spicey. I just ate around it. I'd suggest getting the hot sauce on the side! There's not much room there to eat, so I suggest take out. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I would give it four stars, but I know that the quality can vary sometimes. I used to be a regular when I lived nearby and my go-to dish would be the off-menu "half and half": a hybrid of the chicken on the rocks (rice) and the chicken on sticks (french fries). I'm a fan of spicy food and I like that they offer a broad spectrum of levels of spiciness. I like the "extra spicy" option, and find that it doesn't entirely overthrow the taste of the food. I have had the "suicide spicy" option before, but found that it would go overboard and that I wouldn't be able to taste anything apart from the spice. For people that like at least one of shawarma and spicy food, this place is definitely worth a try. read more
