Tried the Chicken on the Rocks & Stix (half & half) - with two lines of hot sauce, it was super filling - enough for almost two people!

We got the large chicken in the rocks. G's little hummingbird heart gave out in the last few bites, even though I offered to feed it to him lovingly. Trying to finish this meal was like when Harry had to force feed Dumbledore the potion in Half-Blood Prince. Overall get a smaller portion if you cant handle heavy food in large quantities. - N&G read more

I really love Chicken on the Rocks!! The chicken isn't dry, the rice isn't stale or tasteless, and the secret sauce taste really good with everything combined. Sometimes the secret sauce is overwhelming, nevertheless, it's still good. There is a surcharge if you use debit or credit which is pretty lame. Service is pretty fast and friendly. Chicken is grilled in front of you. Overall, I really enjoy Chicken on the Rocks. read more

If you want to eat on a dime, get the special (I get Chicken on the Rocks). Giant take-out box of fries topped with chicken and their special sauce - but beware, it's spicy! RECOMMEND: Chicken on the Rocks - mild or medium (for your first time try Mild) It's cheap and delicious - straight up college food. Take-out is best as it's very small in there. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Chicken in the rocks is my favourite item on their menu. Rice topped with chicken dressed with three different sauces. I need a weekly fix of this! It is a takeout place that lacks seating but the quality of the food makes up for that. The workers are great and have great customer service skills. Best to pay cash as there is a surcharge for debit and visa. Regardless, great prices for great portions. I've also tried the chicken on sticks and the chicken shawarma which are also amazing. Overall recommend this place to everyone! Five stars!!! read more

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

Generally speaking I never had such bad experience with Osmow's Food. Late last night I ordered chicken on the rocks which gave me a digestive issue. I never reacted so negatively to food, especially theirs. As soon as I took my first bites I noticed that their chicken was super dry, rice had no taste and tastes reheated and their sauce wasn't as viscous and garlic tasty. It was a different taste and smell compared to the Osmow's in Markham and others. It tasted that they half-ass their food. It was also strange how my partner and I received our food less then 5 mins of ordering in store. As in where in other locations we waited at most 10 mins after ordering. I just felt the food was not as fresh. As per service the employees where not also the best. I really do understand it was an hour to 45 mins before closing, but the cashier was really out of it. The cashier wasn't smiling like other Osmow locations, did not greet nor appeared to be wanting to serve. I would not say I wouldn't recommend Osmow's, generally speaking it's amazing. But this location isn't quality standards compared to other locations. read more

The food was great. We got the combo for 2 and I think 4 ppl can eat it! Only complaint I have is there is no washroom for the customers which is awful. We eat there and drink and if we need to pee we have to go to Popeyes. Not good at all. The salads were fresh and fries were crispy and warm. Very good authentic food. Loved it!!! read more

Man I'm a fan of this place; I can't come to Canada without making a stop at Osmow's. Their chicken shawarma or chicken on the rocks hits right on the spot. read more

Simply Best!! Great Taste!! Fresh!! If you are hungry and you are checking out where to go on Yelp. GOO HERE!!! JUST TRY THIS! I generally dont enjoy Mediterranean food but this place has changed my taste buds. The food is the best. The food is fresh, tasty, spicy. The owners very friendly and welcoming and they have really redefined the term "customer care". They quantity is always more than normal. I end up saving some food for later. I live 15kms away from this location. But For the Quality food and service they provide I would drive all the way to this place. read more

They didn't sauce my chicken on the rocks for some reason Can't even get lost in the sauce cause they didn't sauce me for some reason Who cursed me? read more

Osmow's Shawarma - No sauce wtf - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Not impressive. I've definitely had better shawarmas elsewhere. I ordered the chicken on the rocks as well as a chicken shawarma wrap. Both were 'meh'. Can get better quality and cheaper shawarmas at other places. Don't think I'll be returning.. read more

Good food here usually get the chicken on the rocks or chicken salad. Really good stuff here. Large portions and reasonable prices. When we're feeding more than two well add a falafel platter. Also, when they ask for how spicy be careful the hot is actually hot. So if you're not into spice get mild. We like our food spicy and mild is just right. read more

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

Very large salad, and it tasted absolutely amazing. I was served fast. And also had an amazing chicken shwarma wrap. Nice staff!

This spot is my go to when i want something satisfying to eat at a good price. I would say my favourite is the chicken on the rocks. Their portion sizes are very good and fills you up. If you are looking for fine dining with fancy drink, decor and servers. This is not it. It is a local fast food franchise that caters to people who just want good food in a hurry without having to go Mcdonalds or Popeyes. read more

Surprisingly underwhelming in the flavour department and overwhelming in the bad hygiene department .............I ordered the chicken shawarma on sticks (French fries) and two shawarmas which had little to no flavour and I ordered the hot expecting to have some type of kick also I found a BEARD HAIR in the sauce to add to my not so wonderful experience ......When I got there three men were working on the food no beard nets no hair nets and no gloves the one kept coming back and forth dealing with customers and money and then touching and serving food with no washing of the hands . If your into flavourless food seasoned with human hair this place is the spot for you unfortunately I won't be returning R.I.P to the $27.95 I won't see again thanks Osmow's maybe take that money and buy some hairnets and gloves so others won't have the same experience read more

Amazing stuff, love it here. Price is alright for the portion. Just the wait is a bit long, but worth it considering it is prepared after your order. Coming here definitely satisfies my cravings! Be warned, the spicy level is extremely intense, start with the lightest then work your way up. read more

Love the Osmo's special shawarma!! The wait can be long tho. They seemed understaffed the one time I've been there.

Extremely disgusted by your manager refusing to serve fresh rice and chicken at Victoria Park Ave location. The food was not fresh and had asked for fresh food. I had waited nearly an hour for her to turn round and say she is not going to serve it, returned my money and asked that I not return. That's the most inhumane service ever. Disgusting behaviour and customer service!!! This happened Friday February 8th, 2019 at 6:55pm 1746 Victoria Park Avenue, Toronto, ON, M1R 1S1. read more

I ate here quite a while ago..and I havent been back since. I was not impressed with the matter in which food was prepared and cooked. ..it seemed dirty imo. I also did not find it particularly tasty or healthy. read more

I really like the chicken shwarma here. Very juicy and good. I wish they did delivery

second time i've found beard hair in my food!!!! it's sooooo disgusting. ruins my entire appetite. can the people making the food please shave. for goodness sake !!!! read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Beard hair in my food. SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENS. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I got the large chicken on rocks with extra garlic sauce and the bill came to $11.73 or something. I don't think it's too much for the quantity you get. It should satisfy 2 people. However, 75c for extra garlic sauce is bullshit. My 2 stars are not for extra change I had to pay for the sauce, but for the quality of food and how it tastes. The garlic sauce is god damn too sweet and the rice is bland as hell. I definitely won't be going back and I would recommend you the same. read more

Been looking for this place and FINALLY FOUND IT! Friends would bring chicken on the rocks from sauga but never new from where exactly (probably Osmow's Sauga location...). Place is a bit small...two tables for 2 people per table plus 5 to 6 bar stools table againts the window. Food is great! read more

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

I'm probably their best customer! Chicken on sticks, little spice is my absolute favourite thing on their menu. I'm addicted. The service is also amazing which makes every experience even better :) read more

I remember when it first opened up at this location...As my high school was nearby I would go quite often. Over the years I noticed they starting to get stingy with the quality and meat... read more

My favorite treat to myself. Chicken on the rocks is just absolutely delicious. Although it may be a little busy and crowded inside, the wait is 100% worth it. I've never been disappointed by the food. And no wonder it's busy when the food is THAT good. read more

Got the house special which is essentially chicken shawarma, rice, and salad. I chose medium+ for spice and it was hotter than I expected. Definitely not comparable to medium at other places. The chicken and rice tasted good, reasonable quantity, definitely not as much meat as you would think. read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! I prefer chicken on rocks or Osmow's special chicken shawarma (meet marinated with pineapples and onions). Food can be customized and they have a very wide range of spiciness, so you can choose the most comfortable for you. Beware of a subchage for card transactions but it is not unexpected for small businesses. They work fast and meet is always fresh. But it is very crowded during HS lunch break. Never been to other locations so can't compare read more

I dont know what's happened to this location but its def gone down hill in the last couple of years. I came here to grab a quick dinner while on campus and ordered the monday special ( chicken on the stix with a drink). I was on my way home and planned on eating a bit on the bus and upon eating my first bite the fries were cold and stale, chicken had no flavour either. Mind you its cold and windy outside and I didn't want to walk back + my bus was already there so I called them and they wanted me to come back in order to return it so they could give me a new one?? And I asked if I could come tomorrow and they said "if you bring back the food in the same condition then yes". Why would I want to go through the hassle of holding onto old food to bring it back tomorrow when it should have been fresh when I bought it? I just think its a little ridiculous considering the girl on the phone was at cash and said she remembered me. Just wasted $10.75 down the drain, for food I couldn't even eat. Don't plan on coming back here for a while and I suggest others do the same; theres Popeyes or other food options thats a bus away that's cheaper w/ better quality and service. read more

I used to frequent this place but had not come by in a good year or so. I went by yesterday to grab a meal and was not happy at all. I got the chicken on the rocks with half fries and half rice. The rice was so bland and over cooked. The chicken was okay - seasoning was not good. The only thing I liked about this meal was the sauce and the fries. I was quite disappointed to say the least. read more

This is not a good place if you enjoy beef for lunch, only chicken is available, and the staff there don't seem to be happy at all and are mostly rude. The experience has led me to believe best to go elsewhere, I do not recommend this place nor will I be returning. As for the food, the fries are over cooked and they chicken isn't the best, I found it to be pricy for the quality. read more

Their food ok but not that great. So overrated. I had way better shawarma at different restaurants than here. read more

So I ordered my food at 8:38 said I'll be there in 15-20 and they said alright. I showed up less than 10 minuets after 10 all staff is still inside and they refuse to give me my food, didn't even open the door to explain, what's the point? It's already cooked AND staff is all there. Could have just said on the phone be here before 10 or else you've waisted your trip. Ridiculous service, not my first bad experience either. Disgusting manners. read more

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

See all

So I was visiting Scarborough today and saw Osmows. Went in to grab some lunch. As I was ordering, I asked if I can use the restroom. The cashier said they don't have one and suggested I go next door to Popeyes, which was odd, but I went. I came back and ordered my food, "Chicken on the Rocks". The charge seemed a little higher than competitors, but whatever. When I pulled out my credit card to pay, she said there will be a surcharge for me to use a card. Really??? Ridiculous ! Anyway, I let it go. When I opened up the container of food, I was disappointed with the quantity. I have had Osmows before at Mississauga. The quantity of food is no where close to being the same. They are spoiling the franchise name here in Scarborough. So, with no restrooms, surcharge on credit cards, and shorting the customer on food quantity; I suggest that corporate Osmows should look into this franchise and get them to fix them selves . read more

After my chicken and rice spot was ruined by new owners in Pickering, I needed a fix somewhere else. They opened this chain near my house and I was stoked to check it out. It's about 10 bucks for the chicken on the rocks which includes taxes. They offer different levels of hot sauce. I went with medium which was definitely a good kick and not too hot. They're really nice about adding extra garlic sauce on top. I once tried my friend's and they had the seasoning put on it. It was a potent taste that I didn't care for. It was almost like Cayenne pepper. Just tell them you don't want it. The only thing that kills it for me is the rice is so bland so it ruins the flavor of the chicken and sauces. Otherwise it's a pretty decent place for my fix. It's small so not really much place to sit and eat. Friendly people. i had to change it to a 3 because the last time i went the chicken was dry and cold. hope it was just a one time thing read more

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

I have frequented the location in the west end so I was pretty excited to see that Osmow's had branched out to the eat end where I live. It might be the same name but is definitely not even close to the same food. I ordered a large Chicken on the Rocks to go and although the bag felt a little lighter than usual, I didn't think much of it- until I returned home and went to eat it. I was so disappointed when I opened it up at home. The quality and quantity is significantly different from the original location. The chicken was dry and stringy and some part even mushy. Weird texture. The hot sauce (I ordered hot) was gritty? There are so many better places to get a shawarma plate or wrap than this place. Scarborough has an abundance of authentic Middle Eastern take out joints so I am confused as to why Osmow's in Scarborough would not at least be on par with the other places. Perhaps it was an off day so I will try it once more just to be sure before I write it completely off. If not, I can always go to Lawrence Ave East to find plentiful good shawarma places for less $$ and way better quality. Tip for Osmow's- get rid of the debit/credit surcharge for bills over $5.00. It makes customers annoyed and is petty. read more

I have been to their other locations (Courtney Park as well as one in Brampton) but this was by far the worst experience. Makes me think if this is genuinely owned by the same people. Another reviewer (Jamal J.) mentioned these pain points but I believe it's worth mentioning again: - Surcharge for using a credit card. I can see a Mom and Pop store doing this but just feels odd for a chain restaurant to be doing this. - I ordered Chicken on the Rocks (large) and was was completely disappointed by the quantity I received. It wasn't even enough for one person where as the quantities, for the same dish, at the other locations, for a small, can easily feed two people. - Definitely skimped out on both the white sauce as well the hot sauce. If you have tried other locations of Osmow's then this location will surely disappoint you and if you haven't ever been to Osmow's then please don't let this be your first experience. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! read more

2 stars because the service was prompt during a super busy hour, but my oh my was the shawarma such a stretch from authenticity. I got the chicken platter and the chicken was bland, the rice was yellow with no other seasoning that I could see and bland as well, the garlic sauce was super sweet (why ) and the Fattoush filled a whole rectangle take out container and was disappointing. I've eaten quite a few shawarma plates in my time and this is definitely the worst. It's not inedible though, but it lacks the depth and flavour of a good shawarma place. I guess I expected more from a place in Scarborough, since there are much better shawarma joints not too far south. Also it was $15, which, if you look at how huge the serving is, is justifiable, but considering the taste it isn't. The others are right, watch out for that hot sauce. If you can take heat decently but don't want to overpower your dish, I'm sure a mediumish spice level will be just fine. read more

Adequate food but terrible portions. I got a large and was disappointed by how much there was. If you look at the pictures people have posted, you can see Osmow's does not even have the decency to fill it to the top. I expect more from paying $12. They fluff up the rice to make it seem bigger. They used to give more, but with the limited food places in the area, I guess they feel they can get away with giving less. read more

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! Placed an order on Uber eats at 3:55 pm and got there at 4:05 told the staff I'm here to pick up my Uber eats order and the staff at the front tells me to wait for 15 min. Mind you I have a toddler with me and I notice people who came after me are getting their orders before me and I'm like okay maybe it will take sometime for them to get it ready. I walked out since it's not safe to be indoors with so many people during this pandemic I take a short walk with my daughter come back after 15 min. This time there's a different person at the cash and I said to him 'excuse me' maybe 3 times until he gave me a blank look without saying a word and I told him I'm here for my Uber eats and he asks for the order number, I gave him the order number and he tells me your order pick up time is 4:50!! And I'm like huh?? I placed my order at 3:55 got here by 4:05 I was asked to wait 15 mins and now that I'm back you're telling me it will be ready by 4:50!! He just looks at me and says yes you will have to wait 20 min more! All those people who came after me received their order left by the time I got there the second time and I'm being asked to wait 20 min more and obviously they see that I have a toddler with me yet they were too careless. A platter that only takes 10 min to make they asked me to wait an hour for. I told them I will cancel the order and walked out. Terrible experience and lack of customer service from the staff at this location. Will never go there again! read more
