    a plate of food in front of a restaurant
    Vannesa A.

    I loved their food. But this review is base on a take out during pandemic (covid-19). There reasons are: the staff who is preparing the food and the 2 guys at the kitchen are not wearing a mask and gloves. No sanitizing station. A plexiglass between cashier area is placed and a 2ft marking on the floor is found.

    Chicken and lamb

    First time trying their chicken on fries and lamb on rice. The sauce was bomb! Wish I had more on top. The meat was good, just a little bit on the dry side, a bit pricey but did thoroughly enjoyed the meal!

    Osmow's has been popping up everywhere and one of them finally popped up in my neighbourhood. Since I arrived around 12:15 pm, the meat grilling on the vertical spit just looks impressive! Since everyone recommending Chicken on the Rock, I decided to just follow their advice. And of course Extra Hot for me. A large is good enough to feed 2 of us as a light lunch. I like the bounciness of the rice (rock). The chicken is a little dry but since it was drowned in sauce, it really not much an issue. Not bad for a quick eat but I might ask for half sauce next time so I can at least taste the chicken more.

    I have been to Osmow's couple times now and I have only ordered Chicken on the rock. It is just too good that I don't want to try other dishes. I used to order medium size and the portion was huge. Lots of rice at the bottom covered by chicken meat. I also love their white sauce on top. It is a dish that once I start eating and I can not stop until I get full. One thing to be careful for who could not have spicy food is what they called "mild" means few drops of chilly sauce and it is still spicy.

    tried the osmows shawarma poutine and it is one of the greatest things I've ever eaten. it is basically osmows fries topped with gravy and chicken shawarma on top + the osmows sauce. However, the flavors all blend and go very well together and you get the best of both worlds. The fries are crunchy, the gravy is tasty, and the shawarma was delicious. If you like shawarma and/or poutine, this is a definite MUST try. Next time I go back here to eat, you bet I'll be getting a repeat order.

    Large Chicken on the Rocks - 3 lines of hot sauce

    Maybe I've been spoiled by the Lazeez (Osmow's sister chain) locations and other shawarma joints I used to frequent in Waterloo, but the food here just did not live up to my expectations. I came here recently to pick up a large Chicken on the Rocks to try with my family since I always raved about the equivalent order at Lazeez. Service was efficient and there was barely a wait after I placed my order. The chicken quality wasn't the best (found some weirdly textured pieces that I don't know how to properly describe), which really put me off. The chicken was also too dry for the garlic sauce to save. Taste was OK at best. Probably won't be coming back for their plates, but maybe I'll try a wrap in the future.

    Before heading to Osmow's, I heard so many amazing reviews about this place. When I say "so many", I mean like everyday, I'd see a snap story of someone having Osmow's or raving about it. Me being the foodie I am, I just couldn't wait to try it for myself! Long story short, I was left feeling a little disappointed. I ordered the chicken on the rocks in medium and the portions were humongous! The dish itself is really nothing special. It's literally plain rice, some chicken and "special sauce". The sauce tastes pretty creamy, and reminds me of the white greek sauce. You can also customize the spice level! I got mild but it was still pretty spicy for me. Overall, the portions are really big! You could share a medium with a friend. The meal itself is nothing special and I would really prefer greek food over this. Also, my friend and I felt a little sick afterwards.

    Decided to try osmows' as it was nearby and one of the many locations. The flavours were quite good. I got the osmows' mixed grill. It comes with shawarma (chicken and beef), lamb kofta, and chicken kebab for $18.99. It also comes with 1 choice of salad. I decided fattoush salad. Wait was 20 mins for the meal. Restaurant was quite large. Not busy for late lunch time dine ins. Lots of take out orders though. Meats unfortunately was slightly dry but had good flavours and spice. Rice was good and moist. Garlic and hot sauce were good additions to the meats. Overall, Their whole menu is kinda pricey. But all places with similar style foods cost the same.

    Went on the Sunday afternoon of their opening weekend. It was quite busy, but our orders were taken quickly and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I got the large chicken on rocks (rice) with the suicide level of spice (I hate my stomach lining) and the flavour and taste was consistent with all other Osmow's locations I've been to. If anything, the rice was fresher and more flavourful than other locations, but I just wish there was more of it. This Osmow's has just opened and it's already serving the small/stingy portion sizes of rice which caused me to stop going to other Osmow's locations. When I pay $12 for a Large I really do expect a larger portion, but the amount of rice barely filled the lower half of the container and that was disappointing. I will give them the benefit of doubt that perhaps they were busier than they expected for their opening weekend and this caused them to have to "ration" the rice to make sure they filled alll orders quickly. I'll be back to give it another try eventually, and hopefully will report back happily!

    Tried the half and half chicken shawarma which is half fries, half rice. Thought it was pretty good. Worth the price for the quantity.

    Never going back. Very poor quality, Serving cold chicken shawarma. They use the same hot sauce, for mild/medium/hot orders.

Recent visits, I have found they refurnished the space -- it's now much darker, and several smaller tables fill the space now, whereas before, it was filled with long tables and you would be seated beside strangers for your meal. It had a different, lighter and more communal vibe before. Also on recent visits, the staff server are a lot younger -- still warm and welcoming, but with less urgency. So getting assistance takes longer. Although this makes for a nice slow meal, if that's what you're looking for! The food however, is still A+! It's the reason I keep coming back again and again. And why when friends come to visit, Maro's is always in the Top 3 places to try in Halton. They consistently serve up fantastic Lebanese food. If you're dining with a vegetarian -- they will be THRILLED with the options here! I daresay they lead with vegetables here. No one will be disappointed with vegetarian option here -- even the meat eaters. Be sure to check out their drink menu as well. Their cocktails -- and mocktails -- are great. Parking outside is all paid parallel street parking, since it's downtown Oakville. But if you visit on Sundays -- parking is free!

The chicken wrap was a little disappointing - it was a bit dry and a bit smaller than expected. The mixed combo grill tasted great - with kafta, beef and chicken. It did feel a little overpriced at nearly $30 but it was tasty. The service was so so. It was very comfortable seating as it wasn't busy. We were checked on maybe once and it was hard to flag someone down to get a refill of water (which didn't happen). Overall was a decent experience and would come back.
