After about 5 minutes, he sent somebody out, who looked around, and went back behind the counter, not having wiped anything, even though there were 3 tables that needed attention, and one spilt drink under another one. Then, 2 or 3 staff members, including the guy I mentioned the tables to, met 3 or 4 of their friends and monopolized a corner table, taking most available chairs. The place is filthy. The staff have no idea that tables have to be cleared if ppl leave their things, tables need to be wiped, and spilt drinks have to be moped. Filthy. That resto is only a couple of years old, but they ruined it. NOT GOING BACK.

Shawarma Palace might have to take the crown for the best shawarma in Ottawa!…read more As a Torontoian, we have decent shawarma but it doesn't compare to the shawarma in Ottawa. Whenever I'm in Ottawa, this is a spot you got to stop at. I admit it is pricer than other places but the service is friendly and efficient, things that you need at a booming place. At $30 for a mixed plate, I can't say it's cheap but it is filling. Prepare to have itis after and enjoy the massive amounts of protein. 4/5

The food is good ha) they are so apologetic strive to please. The restaurant is airy and it is very pleasant to sit by a window on Carling and enjoy the food in the clean restaurant. The portion of one plate is enough for me and my teen. We leave stuffed. It's a bit pricey but it's very flavourf, and not abundantly salty like Shawarma Prince on Merivale. The hardest choice is living between a mouthwatering wrap or a plate! I'm from Toronto and grew up on gyros (with fries in it!), shawarma and pitas but this place does a really good job keeping the meat juicy, sauces tasty and vegetables fresh.

Mont Tacos is a chain from Montreal that was just founded in 2018. All of their locations at the…read moretime of this review are in the Greater Montreal Area except for this one, which is in Ottawa. So I'm usually super jealous of all my friends who still live in my hometown, Toronto, because Toronto almost always gets new chains before we do here in Ottawa. But this time I get to say "Na na na na boo boo! We got Mont Tacos before you!" Lol. This location opened up on October 2020. So Mont Tacos sells what they call "French Tacos" but I would describe them as "flattened burritos." They have some pre-set ones or you can build your own. I built my own. I got 2 small combos, which comes with fries, a dipping sauce, and a fountain drink ($8.99 each combo). If you just get a small sandwich it's $5.99. They have medium, large and X-large too, to suit your appetite. For the base price you get 1 meat and 1 sauce choice. You can add more toppings (meat, cheese, or vegetables) for more money ($1-2 per topping). I didn't add any additional toppings. I got 1 with "marinated chicken" and Samurai sauce and 1 with "chicken cutlet" and Algerian sauce. So they put fries inside the "taco" and they also add their signature cheese sauce. I found the "tacos" a little too wet and saucy for my tastes, but I still enjoyed it. My husband and I shared the "tacos" so I was able to eat half of each. The "marinaded chicken" has a curry flavour to it, which I enjoy, but if you don't like curry, you might want to stick with the regular "chicken cutlet." I was very pleased that both types of chicken were real chicken breast pieces and not some fake chicken loaf like you get at Subway Sandwiches or other places. The fries were shoestring fries, which was my favourite. They weren't that crispy by the time I got home (got takeout), but they were still delicious. The Algerian sauce is a bit sweet and a tiny bit spicy. I really liked it. The Samurai sauce is also spicy, but was less multidimensional than the Algerian sauce. Both were good. Service was friendly and efficient. The food here is Halal. This restaurant is where Central Bergham used to be and truth be told, Mont Tacos reminds me of Central Bergham a lot. Central Bergham also has creamy dipping sauces for their fries and they also had Algerian sauce and they kind of tasted the same. I don't know what I conclude from these observations. Hey whatever, I'm a fan of both places! I just wished that they would include 1 free vegetable topping with your order. I feel like the price can really creep up if you add lots of vegetables to it. The restaurant is in a strip mall, there is some free parking in the mall parking lot, but the lot is small and difficult to maneuver around when it's full. There's some free street parking if you don't mind walking a little bit.

Kinda feels like a semi-permanent establishment. Smash Daddy Burger - A double patty of flattened beef was delicious. It was a melange of flavours that worked very well. I wish the patty was more crispy so that there is more texture in the patty. Naked Fries - The spiced fries were one of the best fries I've had. Fries were super crispy with fluffy interior. There was a good amount of seasoning on the fries making it tasty in flavour and texture. Would come back just for this!

I would come back again.

I finally tried the limited time Flounder Fish Sandwich from Popeye's!! Still haven't tried the…read moreChicken Sandwich though, lol. It was my first time at this Popeye's and overall this location is just ok. I wasn't sure if the Flounder Fish Sandwich was still available, but I saw the poster on the wall, and asked the cashier and she said they still had it. Awesome! I got the sandwich ($6.49) and a medium fries ($3.99). I didn't get a combo because I don't generally drink pop and I think the combo is the same price as what I paid but you get a regular (small) fries and a fountain drink instead of a medium fries and no drink. Anyway, so I ordered and then waited for my food to be ready. There was one other guy in the restaurant waiting for his food as well. The staff call out "Flounder combo!" I think it's the guy's order as I didn't get a combo. He looked at me and I looked at him. Then he went up to the counter, said something, they shook their heads, and he went back to sit down. I'm guessing it's my order then, lol. I go up and say "Fish Sandwich and Medium fries right?" And she said "yeah, fish combo" and starts to get me a cup and the cashier said, "no, not a combo, no drink." And I'm like "it's medium fries, right? Not regular fries?" And she's like "um, yeah." I was skeptical, but I took it anyway. I don't know dudes, I think maybe they gave me regular fries even though I paid more for medium fries. I rarely eat Popeye's so I'm not super familiar with the sizing, like they gave me the fries in a box, but I feel like the amount of fries I got was not that much. Anyway, the fries were not that hot (temperature). They were ok, but I've had better at other locations. Since it was my first time having the Fish Sandwich, I have nothing to compare it to, but it wasn't as crispy as I heard it is from others. It wasn't all that flakey nor thick. It was good, but not as wow as others have told me. It has a slight spicy kick to it. It also had tartar sauce and pickles. I'm glad I tried it, but I won't cry when It's no longer available. This location is in a plaza. Other eateries in the plaza include a Thai Express and a Middle Eastern fast food restaurant called Shawarma Garlic and Onion. The anchor stores in the plaza are Farm Boy and Natural Food Pantry (formerly Rainbow Foods). Lots of free parking.

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.

I got stir-fried vegetables (it's onions and bell peppers, like the vegetables in fajitas), black beans, cheese, Pico de Gallo, red cabbage, beets, red peppers, mandarin oranges, and chickpeas. I got the mango vinaigrette dressing on the side. Ingredients were fresh. The bowl was very filling. Lots of free parking in the plaza. It's located in between Osmows and Reitman's.

THE best fries in Aylmer!…read more I've driven by this place a million times and never gave it any notice but someone told me they have the best fried chicken, so I tried it. She wasn't lying! The chicken was delicious and bonus, not greasy at all. It came with a sauce and the best fries I swear you've ever tasted. They serve the standard French fry stand menu: poutines, hamburgers, hotdogs and one of my favorites, pogos. They also serve smoked meat sandwiches and more. It's basically an enclosed french fry stand. It's on the small side with four tables and a little counter you can eat it but hey it's all about the food, not the ambiance! One more thing I liked about this place is that they serve coke in bottles. The girl that served us was super nice. I so wish I'd discovered this place years ago.
