The best shawarma in Ottawa!! We walked for over a kilometre to try their Shawarma and being from Toronto and experiencing a variety of shawarmas, will definitely recommend this place to any visitor!!Their portion sizings are generous, dine in portions are larger or maybe that’s just my eyes playing an illusion on me. The chicken is well cooked, not too dry and is generously served with hummus and garlic sauce. Hot sauce was a dollar extra which was shocking coming from a generous establishment.Highly recommend their chicken plate and their baklava.

I had pretty high expectations coming to a shawarma place inOttawa because so many people told me it’s the best of the best. Well… let me tell you that IT IS!I’ve gone to shawarma places in my hometown and I thought it was good, but now I can’t go back. This was top tier. Perfectly marinated, extremely generous servings (literally a “plate” could feed 2-3 people), and everything tastes so fresh! Glad I stopped by, 10/10

Although this place can be pricey, it is worth it! We ordered two chicken plates that were PACKED with food and flavour. We were each given two pitas which was reasonable. Our favourite part of the plate was the hummus and the garlic sauce. Some might say the garlic sauce is overpowering/too strong, but it was perfect to me.After we were done with our plates, both of us agreed that the rice was unnecessary seeing as we are given pita.We were able to get two meals out of our plates, so I would say the amount makes up for the price.

Probably the biggest Shawarma plate I’ve ever seen in my life. The man who served me was incredibly friendly and gave me a very generous portion of chicken and rice.The woman at the cash was very nice and had the most beautiful smile !I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a meal that will fill you up for days.11/10

Shawarma did not taste like the normal shawarma and it was salty and dry

Used to be great, really went down hill. The gentleman preparing our food behind the counter Tuesday evening was certainly less than polite, food was cold, and we only got two pieces of pita with a platter. No napkins, service was generally was generally poor. The cashier was not the problem. This place used to be a 5 star takeout establishment. What happened to the Rideau Street location? Shawarma King is much better post pandemic. Much better staff and better food. You get treated well there.

Great customer service and authentic shawarma place. Most of the shawarma places do not have beef shawarmas. Not this one. The taste is very authentic Mediterranean style. The portion size is also good. Definitely would recommend people who loves shawarmas or Mediterranean food to try it out. In addition has free parking to dine in.

Have been coming here for the last 6+ years from 416 just about every time we come to 613. We have had some amazing experiences before I turned vegan and after as well.This time around though they did disappoint. The falafel sandwiches were good the platter was good overall, the falafel just as we always have had, the salad same and the potatoes disappointed a lot. They were overdone and overly greasy.If this was my first time I would have to think to come back, but I know they do better and will do better the next time

Today was my experience. At shwarma place at Rideau street it I bought two meals one chicken and the second one was a mix of chicken and beef, It was super salty I could not eat it, just I eat quarters. I did Put It In the garbage. Also, the beef was too soft It wasn't normal probably they did add too much tandraezer met(Meat softener) lost taste and form.I pay $45.00 I put it in the garbage.I will never back again.

Ordered the chicken shawarma plate. Was delish! Service was fast, yet, they were extremely friendly.
