Much more meat than at any other meat pie place I've been to (Aladdin, Mid-East Food Centre, Farhat, and Kabab Prince). The dough is also a tiny bit thicker. The meat pie felt very substantial. They also give you a lot of cheese in the meat and cheese pie. The flavour of the meat was good. Very rich in spices. Although it lacks the smokey flavour present in Aladdin's meat pies. However, overall it was delicious. The person serving us washed his hands before handling our pies, so I appreciated that, and figured that it's worth mentioning. The place does not have a lot of seating, so better to take it to go. They also serve pizzas here. It is in the same strip mall as Mango's, Sala Thai and a Subway. Lots of free parking. I would come back if I was in the area.

My wife actually missed it more than me (bordering on obsession if you ask me) and so we have stopped in on every Arabic bakery we find to see if they sell it. Finally, we found zaatar bread at Mediterranean Bakery in a little strip plaza on the corner of Alta Vista and Bank (next to Scotia Bank). It is only about $2 for a portion - about the size of a frozen personal pizza. My wife was overjoyed with the authenticity of the taste and we have been back many times to recapture some memories. Thankfully, for me, they sell other Arabic and Lebanese baked goods (like this Arabic flat bread with a soft, mozzerella-like cheese - mmmmm). It is a busy, no-nonsense place but at least you get your food quickly.

Me and my nephew's favorite cheese pies…read more me and nephew Moody always goes here after his rugby practice he usually orders a little more than normal people but because he is special. My brother Nathan who is Moody's dad always goes here as well and he loves it as much as me and Moody. my order is usually one cheese and one meat with cheese. Moodys is 8 zaatar pies and three cheese. I highly recommend fewer pies for Moody because it is starting to get more expensive and that is why it is only a 4-star rating.

I hadn't visited this particular OG location in years so when I was in the area, I had to indulge in a meat/cheese $4.00. The location has gone through renovations and has upgraded. A sign reads cash only to keep prices low. Two pies are typically enough to keep your hunger satisfied. The store sells various drinks/snacks along with an assortment of pies. Spinach, meat, cheese, zaatar, potato & much more. Collaboratively working well, once you order, the service is quick. I picked up a few pies. First bite, I noticed a change in the flavor. It tasted as though the filling is a combination of different meat, maybe lamb? Its hard to pinpoint, Its not the end of the world, but the flavor that I have always known has changed. That was the case with the whole batch we picked up even the young children didn't finish it. Overall, I do recommend Alladin, always a friendly service and plenty of options to choose from.

Highly recommended these! The restaurant is just a few tables but it is cozy and inviting. Service is courteous.

The Short Version: Middle Eastern bakery in Wellington…read moreWest. Good meat pies although prices a bit higher than other bakeries in the city. The Long Version: Solomon's Oven opened up at the end of 2025 in the space that used to be Bread by Us (Bread by Us moved further west onto Smirle Ave). It's a Syrian bakery specializing in Middle Eastern savory baked goods such as manakeesh, kaak and saj. They also sell baklava and other desserts, as well as dips like hummus. I got a man'ousheh/meat pie ($6.99). There was a bit of a wait for it because it was freshly baked and they had a lot of customers. Despite being busy, service was courteous and I felt welcomed. The meat pie was piping hot, which I appreciated. It had a good amount of meat and the pastry was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pastry was not too thick nor too doughy. However, the meat was missing that smokey flavour that I enjoy with Middle Eastern meat pies. Nonetheless it was still good. The price was a bit higher than at some other places in the city of comparable quality, but I recognize that rent in Wellington West is higher than say in Nepean. The decor inside is nice and it feels like a little cafe. Street parking only. Review #17 (2026)

Of the flatbreads I ordered, my favorites were the og meat pie and the akkawi. I did not care for the zaatar, even though it is a classic, and the sujuk with cheese was ok. I would def come again.

Was way too salty for my tastes, but freshly baked and piping hot. The Long Version: Phynicia Restaurant's original location is in Barrhaven. I had had it on my list of places to try for many years now, but I'm rarely out that way. Then in summer of 2026 they opened this second location in Hintonburg, which is within walking distance from me, so I finally got to check it out. My husband and I love Middle Eastern meat pies and Phynicia has them. We got 2 meat and cheese pies to go ($5 each). It's a small restaurant but they have a few tables to dine in and in warmer weather they have a patio out front. I'm not sure if they have no air conditioning in the restaurant or if they just had it on really low because it was hot in the restaurant when we were there in June. The wait for our meat pies was surprisingly long. So I'm guessing they are made to order. They did come out piping hot. Unfortunately I found the filling too salty for my tastes. It had ground meat, warm spices and cheese. The dough was a bit thicker than I like, but not excessively thick. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It lacked the smokey taste that like and the cheese pull I get from my favourite meat pie shop (Aladdin). However, that might just be personal preference. The interior is beautiful. It was full of people so I didn't take any pictures, but the light fixtures are cool and they have clay pots on the walls. They sell packaged nougat which looked tasty. They also sell cookies. On their menu they have items like hummus, foul and fatteh. They also have shashouka. They have wraps, salad and pide as well. Service was pleasant. The restaurant is on a residential street but not far from the Parkdale Market. Street parking only. Review #111 (2026)

I love Lebanese meat pies! I've pretty much made it a goal to try every meat pie place in Ottawa,…read morehaha. I had lunch across the street at the Meryenda food truck, but the portion was a bit small, so I was still hungry, and as luck would have it, Nasser Bakery was across the street, so I got a meat and cheese pie there ($3.25 plus taxes) and it was pretty good. I liked that the dough was not too thick and it even had some crispy edges, which I like. The amount of meat and cheese was also good. The flavour was nice too. It didn't have that smoky flavour that I like, but it was still a solid meat pie, and one of the better ones in the city, IMO. They sell lots of different types of pies, and also sandwiches. They have pastries, Turkish Delight, nougat, and other sweets. I'll need to go back and try some of those. There's lots of seating, and the staff were nice. Cash or debit only. The bakery is in the same building as the Passport Office and Farmer's Pick. Lots of free parking.
