This restaurant was very strange. We tried this out as a group celebrating a birthday last week,…read morevery excited to try it. The decor is fairly upscale, and they had live music, which was nice but made it hard to talk or hear the waitress. I really, really wanted to give this 5 stars, because it has the potential to be so damn good. The prices were very reasonable. The portions were mid-sized, reasonable for the price. Every bit of seafood was cooked to perfection - I had calamari and the seafood paella, and each bite of meat was succulent and tender. But the first thing that was lacking, and weirdly so, was appropriate seasoning. Like I said, the calamari meat was cooked to perfection - but in a heavy, bready, North American style coating with sauce that was very much like ranch. More appropriate for mozzarella or zucchini sticks. The seafood in the paella was succulent, and the rice was amazing - but the overwhelming flavour was *salt*. So much so that the taste of the seafood was overpowered. In addition, the service was much less than stellar. The place was almost empty, yet it took us almost an hour to get water. The one waitress greeted a friend who came in with a hug and loud banter, but ignored us for a long time and even was annoyed to have to serve us. Some people got their mains while others hadn't even gotten their starters yet, so some people were still eating far after others had finished and even had to leave. Every star was for the seafood. This restaurant has potential but doesn't live up to what it could be.

I had the whole family over for a meal today and didn't feel like cooking so I ordered from Zaky's…read moreand went and picked it up. The food was ready when I arrived, smelled oh so good in the car on the way home, and was a huge hit with everyone, including the little kiddy-wids who are picky eaters. The last time I ate at Zaky's was many years ago when it was called Zaki's with an "i" and had 3 locations throughout the city. It was fantastic, but then all the locations closed. Then one location reopened and was renamed Zaky's with a "y." I believe that there was a change in ownership (the other 2 locations became other businesses). I'm happy to say that the food is still as good as I remember. The only thing is prices have gone up, and it's not just inflation. I got the Family Feast ($45.49) and the 15 piece Broasted Chicken Family Meal ($40.99) because no one is going to leave hungry on my watch! The Family Feast consisted of 2 ground beef shami, 2 ground chicken shami, 1 beef tikka kebab, 1 chicken breast kebab, naan, rice and salad. The 15 piece Family Meal consisted of 15 pieces of broasted chicken, fries, naan, dipping sauces and pop. We were 6 adults and 2 kids. There were leftovers, lol. The meats in the Family Feast were very flavourful and well marinaded. They were tender and juicy and not dry at all. My mom felt that the beef tikka was a little tough, but I thought it was fine. Maybe it was just the piece she had. The rice was long grain basmati and very fragrant (it had lots of warm spices in it, tasted like nutmeg, cinnamon, etc.). I liked that the rice was not oily. The salad had cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and romaine lettuce with spices on top. Dressing was on the side, which I appreciated so the salad didn't get soggy. I didn't have any of the naan, but everyone else liked it. The biggest hit though was the broasted chicken (chicken fried in a pressure cooker). So crispy, yet not greasy or oily. My dad said "this is better than Popeye's and KFC" and then asked "is there a location near my house?" Lol. The fries were seasoned but not battered and the kids loved them. They were a little soggy by the time I got home with them, but I think that is unavoidable. I'll need to eat in sometime to see how their fries are fresh. Their BBQ and Sweet and Sour dipping sauces are store-bought, but their garlic sauce and yogurt dressing are made in house. Cilantro-hating husband tasted cilantro in the dressing, so be warned if you also dislike cilantro. The person who took my order on the phone and who served me in the store (I'm pretty sure it was the same person) was quick and efficient. They said the food would take 20-25 minutes. I said I would be there in 30 minutes, and when I arrived it was already packed and ready to go. The place looked clean. It's in the same complex as the big Walmart, Bai Du, Mucho Burrito, and Sally Beauty Supply. Lots of free parking. If you like fried chicken, give their broasted chicken a try!

TL;DR/The Short Version: Delicious bowls, very flavourful…read more Takeout only. The Long Version: I learned about Fusion Feast from my brother. It's a place that sells rice bowls with international fusion flavours. The bowls are a bit on the small side for my large appetite, lol, but they are big on flavour! I like my flavours bold and potent and that's what the flavours are like here. The bowls are colourful, lots of different textures and the taste is excellent. Their meat bowls run $18.99-$19.99 and their vegetarian bowls are $14.99. They have smaller lunch portions that run $12.99 which includes a drink. Staff were courteous. It's exclusively a takeout spot, no dine in. There's free parking in a shared parking lot with neighbouring businessese behind the restaurant. They just opened June 23, 2025 in the space that was Lunchbox in Orleans. Before that the space was Sacred Art Tattoo and Piercing. Review #166 (2025)

We were short on chicken but, There was a generous portion of Gyro. They didn't have the platters box anymore. I Think it affected the quantity, for veggies and meat we got a few slice of tomatoes (we where only two) so each of us got 3 slices (that are already cut in half) The chicken was shredded into really small pieces and dry. For the sauce I think one was yogurt, two different lvl of hot sauce, tahini sauce and one sweet sauce. We have lots of rice left and lots of salad I was the only one who had some. I think overall it is still a good value but if you have a small appetite.

TLDR: Tasty chicken shawarma bowl in suburban plaza. Excellent $8 daily specials…read more So I finally made it out to Tahini's! They are a chain from London, ON. This is their first location in Ottawa (it's technically in Kanata, lol). I was going to try their famous blueberry chicken shawarma but was seduced by their $8 daily specials, haha. On Sundays, their regular-sized Habibi bowls are only $8 (usually $12.99) and y'all know I can't resist a deal, so that's what I got. I figured since I was saving $5, I might as well add 2 beef samosas (for $2.99) for kicks and still be ahead, lol. The Habibi Bowl is rice, chicken shawarma, fried onions, tzatziki, spicy garlic sauce, parsley and pita chips. I like that they fry up the chicken on the grill after they slice it off the spit. The chicken was moist and flavourful. The rice was a bit clumpy, but still tasty. They were super generous with the fried onions and pita chips. Lots of crunchy texture for sure in this bowl! They were also generous with the sauces. The beef samosas were mostly wrapper, not too much beef and onion filling, but they were crispy and piping hot from the fryer. They are more similar to African-style samosas/sambusas as opposed to Indian-style samosas. They're also pretty small. Service was courteous and efficient. I like that the takeout containers are cardboard and not styrofoam. It's a fast food joint. Some tables are available to eat in. Atmosphere is very casual. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot. (41)

Presentation was aesthetically pleasing and overall everything was tasty. The grilled salmon was very good. Didn't smell fishy at all and was nicely baked. The chicken breast was a bit on the bland side, but went well with the accompanying sides. The potato wedges were great. They weren't crispy, but we're nicely seasoned. The bean salad was good too, I really liked the green beans in it. The quinoa salad was nice as well. The asparagus was nothing special, but the dill cream sauce it came with was fantastic. The butternut squash soup had a hint of curry in it that made it interesting. The strawberry and cream biscuits were excellent - fresh sliced strawberries with whipped cream inside a vanilla cream scone/biscuit. Easily the best dessert from that spread. The brownies were ok. They were really dense and very sweet. The chocolate chip cookies were filled with so many mini chocolate chips. They were on the hard side and my preference is for chewy cookies, but one of my co-workers had 3 cookies, so if you like the harder and more crumbly type of cookie, I think you'd like these. If I ever find myself in Manotick, I will be sure to check out Take Another Bite, and will probably pick up one of those strawberry and cream biscuits ;)
