    I got my husband and I some shawarma meals here and overall they were great. I got the chicken saj shawarma meal ($14.99) for myself and got the lamb saj shawarma meal ($16.99) for my husband. They both came with fries, coleslaw and pickles. I love saj bread. It's so much tastier than regular pita, IMO. However, this saj bread was a bit on the dry side. It wasn't as soft and chewy as I like. The chicken was excellent. A good mix of soft tender pieces and crispy crunchy pieces. The chicken saj has pickles and garlic sauce in the wrap. Those are the default toppings. The lamb was too gamey for me, but my husband liked it. He said he would have liked more crispy pieces though. The lamb saj comes with tomatoes, tabouli, and tahini in the wrap. The coleslaw was mayo based and satisfactory but nothing remarkable. The fries were regular cut fries, likely from frozen and then they sprinkle some spices on it. I like that they were generous with the fries. The fries were quite good. The pickles were ok and the pickled turnips were ok too. Service was neutral, and not that quick, but not excessively slow. They have a fairly large dining room that's nicely decorated. The shawarma here is Syrian-style, which is different from the majority of shawarma places in Ottawa which serve Lebanese-style shawarma. I like both. The restaurant is in the same plaza as T&T and where Dagu Rice Noodles used to be. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot.

    Picked up a chicken shawarma sandwich in saj bread on a Saturday afternoon. There was no line at the time so I got my order in a few short minutes. The chicken has a nice char and tasted pretty good. It's not quite as good value as Palace but the flavours are nice. I'm definitely very glad to have saj bread options here. We'll be back to try their lamb shawarma, something that's harder to find. The boss was so kind to let me try their homemade ayran which went well with the shawarma.

    Their falafel, hummus and chicken shawerma platter are absolutely scrumptious! I usually order their Saj chicken shawerma but I had to try their platter, still so good but I prefer the Saj meal. The price is reasonable, plenty of packing space available.

    This place opened in the midst of lockdown so we made sure to check it out when restaurants opened.. it was quiet busy you can tell from the parking lot it's full, we waited a bit then they cleaned a huge table for us. The wait for the food (shawerma which is supposed to be fast food) was about 40 minutes.. I believe they can get more organized and get orders faster. Food was fresh and yummy. Garlic sauce was so creamy . The fries were crispy. The meat shawerma had a bit of a heavy taste since it was lamb.. but overall a great family friendly spot!

    This sandwich is literally the reason I downloaded this app…read more I've just spent the whole winter in Quebec and am now hitchhiking across Canada and decided to stay in Ottawa a few days. I booked 4 nights at the Saintlo jail hostel and when I came downstairs after a rejuvenating nap I saw that they had a list of recommendations sitting amongst a pile of other plastic sheets. Dirienzo's - the best ITALIAN SANDWICH in the city. I'm not really an Italian sandwich sort of person normally, maybe it was contributed by the burgeoning like for cured meats that I was acquiring after eating dried salami as my only source of food for the past week or so -- but who's going to pass up the chance to try the BEST of anything? I got there after taking 2 buses and was starting to become a bit concerned. I had $40 in my account and was hitchhiking across the country -- after all it was labelled the BEST in the city and that would normally come with a hefty price tag. When I first opened the door I instantly got greeted by the guy behind the counter, which made me feel welcomed and at ease. I looked up to view the selection of sandwiches that they had on offer and potentially the cheaper ones. I was surprised to see the sign that said $10 for ANY SANDWICH!! #booyah I was finding it hard to decide on which of the sandwiches to get since they all looked so appetising, but decided on number 16. The sandwich was massive for the price that it was. The bread was a perfect mix between durable so that it wouldn't fall apart in your hands, but soft enough that it was enjoyable, with the amount of bread contemplating he rest of the fillings just the right amount. I was pretty overwhelmed to be honest with how good it was. All of the ingredients including the lettuce (which I've found is usually the first thing places will skimp out on) were extremely fresh. I put in my coworker groupchat: "Anyone coming over across Canada after the season has to make a stop in Ottawa if they aren't already just to try one of these." Accompanied by a photo of my eyes watering with glee. My Nonna is always telling me how I need to learn Italian to be more connected to our culture and I've always just kindof brushed it off since I haven't needed to use it and we don't speak it much at home, but this has made me so proud to be Italian. As I continued to eat the sandwich sitting on a bench looking towards the city and the people playing basketball in the park, I found myself contemplating staying in Canada and raising my kids here in Ottawa so that they get to experience it themselves on a warm summer afternoon after picking them up from school. GO TO DI RIENZO'S 99999/10

    Di Rienzo's is a must go to for a real fresh made Italian sandwich or homemade pasta. My mouth…read morestarts watering the minute I turn on Beech street, I can't wait to eat my Di Rienzo's. My husband introduced me to this place 34 years ago when we were dating, now our adult children love this place too.
