So many choices, so plentiful, so delicious! My plate of chicken saj wraps with veggies, fries, and garlic dip was enough for two meals. There's a few dining booths, but I got the impression that most orders are takeout. I recommend this place! read more

Shawarma House - Three offerings - Middle Eastern Near Me - Kanata, Ontario

See all

I love this restaurant and the Shawarma plates, both chicken beef and mixed. However the prices have more than doubled since I started buying there about eight years or so after I moved to kanata, being seniors on a fixed income what was at least once twice a week as now become occasional. But it's still great food and service. I only rarely give five stars. read more

Amazing food and service. Great portions, the veggie platter and dips are delicious with quality ingredients. Highly recommend them.

I've come here twice now and I think that's more than enough for me. The chicken shawarma isn't bad but everything else that comes with a platter or combo isn't good. The rice sucks, the salad is ok but the dressing isn't as good as a lot of other places. I find the potatoes were a little gross. They taste boiled then tossed in oil and herbs and the garlic sauce reminded me of a thick yogurt that had no flavour. I tried a sandwich once as well and it was left on the press for to long leaving that bread with a cracker texture that was pretty hard and dry. i'll have to hunt out a better shawarma option in Kanata. read more

After the two palaces, on rideau and carling, this is my next favorite shawarma joint. It's in a strip mall so there is ample parking. I usually take it to go but there is a good amount of seating and the place is bright. Staff was good, guy just coming back washed his hands and put on gloves just before taking and prepping my order. I always go for the chicken plate and the portions are massive. The containers are so stuffed they can't be closed. My wife and I both get a dinner and usually one of us a lunch, sometimes both, out of a single plate. The chicken is seasoned well. The potatoes are good and have a decent seasoning on them. You also get a good mixture of rice with one of them being suprisingly spicy. read more

Shawarma House - Chicken Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Kanata, Ontario

Great restaurant offering up huge portions for good prices. If you go during the lunch rush, the line can easily be out the door. But there should be enough tables to go around. The pitas are large, but the plates are even larger. So bring your appetite. read more

Wonderful service! Great place for Shawarma in the suburbs! My dad is quite the foodie and he says it is one of the best Shawarma places he's been to. The chicken I can find sometimes a bit dry, so this last time I went I ordered the beef. My nan even had a bite and fell in love. Will definitely be back! Always such generous portions. The garlic potatoes are always a hit as well. Atmosphere and decorations could be a bit better but for a place where most are getting it to go, I'd say to keep putting the money into the food because it is deeeeelicious. read more

Some of the best Lebanese food Ive ever had. Got the beef shawarma plate. Will definitely return.

Great Shawarma! I've been going here since they opened. The chicken shawarma sandwich is delicious and is very generous for the price. I go with the spicy garlic + hummus and in addition to the regular veggies, I add hot peppers and then a splash of hot sauce on top. Delish! read more

Well serviced good value for your money family of 5 with 3 teens in tow.. group Shawarma along with a mixed platter food left over. Will visit again when in town. read more

4 meals in 7 days eating at a little shawarma house in a strip mall when you are traveling from sunny California to Kanata, ON for Xmas is a lot. We braved snow, sleet, ice to trek to this shiny gem of a place when our bellies craved their tender and succulent sliced pieces of beef and chicken shawarma (husband's pick) along with probably the best falafel I've had to date (me: the Wifey's pick). I would say yes, we are connoisseurs of, what do you call these...pita houses? Shawarma houses? Hummus houses and can eat middle eastern 7 days a week. It's been our go to cuisine at home as well as when we travel. On this trip in particular, there was a pattern. Day one, for a late lunch, we scurried into extreme pita while in the throes of holiday Xmas shopping and as the husband's commentary goes, "compared to subway, it's fine dining!" The second day, we found Shawarama house. It's blocks away from my sister in law's house which made our obsession easier to indulge even as we weathered 2 snow storms while we were staying with them. Short, scary, slippery drive, happy bellies. When you order take out, they load up the to go containers to the point of food bulging out of it, enough to feed two or even three! Generous portions for sure! Being a huge fan of the garlic sauce, I'd say their recipe tops the charts. Consistency is good, can work on getting it to be a bit fluffier, but the amount of garlicky-ness is spot on. The only suggestion I would give is the pita bread. Change it. It was average. Quite thin by American standards. As the husband says, they clearly are not invested in the pita bread being a part of the overall dining experience. It was thin, flimsy and forgettable to us folk who love integrating toasted pita into our shawarma meal. The service is friendly, the place is clean and inviting and the food is top notch. It is authentic and fresh, speedy and inexpensive...and if we lived locally, we'd be there probably 5 times a week! Now that we sound like a bunch of pita freaks, go try them if you live in the area. I would not call them a destination joint but if you are local, they should be a part of your weekly repertoire. Oh, no docking in stars, but just a suggestion, I'd start the long rubber slip mats closer to the door in this gnarly snowy weather. Almost slipped on the way out! Ps. Just a follow up thought. The thinness of the pita makes sense for all the wraps on the menu. It would be a bit ridiculous to expect them to invest in thicker pita just for dipping and crunching purposes. read more

Great shawarmas. Good food and prices. They almost always get something wrong with the order though. Maybe there are too many people working there at once? They always seem to be a little confused. read more

It's actually super average in terms of a shawarma place. Their shawarma is nothing special but not bad in any way shape or form. It just isn't the best. Not on a shawarma palace level but still has its place in the Ottawa shawarma scene read more

Food is good BUT ....service and wait times are horrible. Food safety is way off as they don't use there gloves properly. The prices are higher then other places close by. read more

This is a good shawarma place. Good food, clean restaurant, great location, and friendly service. I always go there for my shawarma treat!

I am surprised how friendly everyone claims the staff are. I got the impression I was inconveniencing them or annoying them. The shawarma is good but the potatoes are slathered in garlic oil and lots of parsley. read more

This place is too costly for shawarma. The servings are large enough and yummy for sure, but they just want you out of the line and out of their way. I have been here a few times. everytime I feel the servers are inresponsive. Maybe they cant hear over the buffet? Idk... read more

They make the best beef shawarma sandwich that I tried so far & I tried about 30 different one so far. The service is the best.

Not a huge fan of the sides but that's not why I go there. The shwarma is great and it's an absolutely perfect alternative to fast food. Great price, portion and consistent quality. read more
