Delicious food. I always get the half and half! Can't ever go wrong. Only bad thing about this location is the stench from the bathroom in the back. I always make sure to do take out because of this. read more

Really good chicken shawarma. Chicken is tender and no over-burnt pieces. The sauce makes it moist, sweet, creamy and spicy. Small place and gets packed at lunch as lots of students from a local school come here. Come before noon or do take-out. Free parking available at the back of the store and you can enter through the back. read more

Come here often and the chicken shawarmas are DELICIOUS! I always get a large chicken shawarma and it is the perfect size. I eat a lot and it is enough to fill me up. Very quick service and friendly staff. read more

Chicken on the rocks, shawarma on the rocks, chicken on the sticks, slap that special sauce on anything and you've got yourself another loyal customer. Medium is not hot, if you like spice order hot trust me you wont regret it. Ridiculously crowded on the weekend but, If I can get my "Halal Guy" closer to home, you best bet the wait is worth it. This place ain't pretty in fact it looks pretty damn filthy, but who gives - the food is finger kissing deliciousnessesssess. The end. read more

Osmow's Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Super dirty restaurant upon entry, even the walls had grime all over them. It's a narrow and tight space, so it's quite uncomfortable waiting in the heat a while for your order. I didn't mind the wait as I expected great food based on what I've heard from other people. The chicken shawarma sandwich didn't even taste like shawarma. I don't know what it was but it was a lame attempt at shawarma. I really don't know what all the fuss about this place is! Will not be going back. read more

Ordered a sandwich and found the order taker to be very rude and abrasive. Also they add a $0.35 surcharge without properly disclosing the fee. Restaurant and tables are dirty with food scraps on the floor and tables. Shawarma was bland and tasteless. I think I also saw a rat in the corner of my eye. read more

Osmow's shawarma is disgusting. First of all it's not even real shawarma. - no hummus - no tahini - no garlic sauce !!!!!!!!! - no tabouleh - no pickled turnips The chicken smells old. I have never seen them cut the chicken off the rotisserie which is how the shawarma meat should be cooked. Instead they just grill it. Also it smells as if the chicken had been half-cooked a day before and they just regrill it but I was able to smell and taste the day old chicken easily. This is not just a one time visit. I've been there 4 times and it was the same every time Also their "garlic" sauce has NOTHING to do with the real shawarma Garlic sauce. It's a more nasty runny sweet sauce that resembles tzatziki but tastes nothing like it. Yuck! I have so many friends that love Osmow's but it's the most disgusting "shawarma" I have ever tasted. Good shawarma place in Mississauga is Pita & Grill. These people will fill up your plate with fresh food and properly cooked chicken breast. And their hummus and garlic sauce is aaaaaah-mazing! read more

Went here for a late night dinner. It has limited seating but we managed to get a place . The wait for the food was long . If the wait wasn't so long I would have given it 4 stars. I really liked the food . It was fresh and flavourful. Will definitely go back . read more

Horrible service and this place isn't what it used to be. Came here on a Tuesday night right before closing time. We waited in line for 20 minutes, we finally get to the front and was denied service due to closing. First of all, if you want to close down your place then lock the doors, there was a lot of customers still coming in. Second to avoid disapointing your customers you need to let them know that you're closing when they first come in. Making them wait 20 mins then saying its the last order when the store isn't even close yet isnt fair. There was still a long line-up behind us. They close at 11pm. When we got to the resto it was about 10:40. When we got to the front of the line it was 10:59 exactly. During that time they should take a second to lock the doors and serve the remaining people who got there before closing. It's common courtesy The boyfriend spoke up and they served us and the people behind us. Another problem is the people behind us got their order first...what the... Second, we ordered the chicken on the rocks x2 half fries half rice. And they only put fries on the first order but it wasn't enough fries and they couldve easily moved the fries and gave us rice in there. Third, their fries was super soggy... yup won't be coming back here. Lazeez is the clear winner here in terms of chicken on the rocks. Even their white sauce wasnt as good as lazeez. read more

Best shawarma in town. They actually have a real hot sauce. I don't care if it's not an authentic. It tastes authentically good. Very busy at times but the people working are pretty good. They remember my order when I walk in. I've tried many other shawarmas in town and this tops them all (paramount, pita&grill, nutso, montfords) recommend the regular chicken shawarma ordered hot. Garlic sauce has a unique taste to it. read more

I totally agree with the reviewer below, it boggles my mind how this place can be so popular and rated so highly... It's a cheaters shawarma, it's just griddled hunks of gristly chicken meat that don't even slow cook on the vertical broiler at all, it's always bleeding red raw when they shave it off and just move it the flat top. It's unhygenic, unappealing, and incorrect.. I also dislike the weirdo toppings they put in the sandwich like olives, I'm always having to tell them specifically what to put and what not to put. And don't even get me started on how SLOW they are. I've had the misfortune of almost waiting 30 minutes for a mediocre sandwich at best. There is much better to be had elsewhere.. Service sucks. read more

Their shawarma's are top notch, but my recommendation. Get the "Chicken on The Rocks" and ONLY the "Chicken on The Rocks". By far one of the most addictive dishes I have ever eaten. It came to a point where I had to have it once a week or I would go through withdrawal. read more

I love their sandwiches, although I know what some of the reviewers mean about it not being authentic per se. Still it tastes really good, so it's definitely worth a trip every now and then :) read more

Long waits, poor service, very average shawarma's. NOT the best shawarma's in Mississauga.

Osmow's has one of the best Shawarmas in town. The restaurant may not be a fancy place or in a fancy location, but the food is definitely fantastic. There food is consistently good. One of my favourite things to eat here is the chicken on the rocks. I think their sauces are excellent, and as always you can tailor the spiciness to your comfort! All in all, although the place may not look fancy, the food is excellent. It's always busy, and you're bound to wait in line for your turn (especially @ lunch time!) ...but definitely worth the wait :) my only other complaint are the creepy people working there read more

Decent shawarma but marination of the meat could be a lot better. Main thing you will taste is their mayonnaise garlic sauce. Overall a good option for a late snack when you are the area. If you want the best try Pita Boss in the Meadowvale area. They are hot right now! read more

Terrible staff, threatened me, screamed in different languages at me, GANG of children behind the cashier making fun of you and changing your order from what you said just to be funny. DAVID said he is the owners son so he can do whatever he wants. NEVER getting my money again read more

This review is for the Lakeshore branch. We drove all the way from Michigan yesterday, and my dad was raving about how awesome their shawarmas are because he tried them last year. After finally getting there, we started our order, and the cashier was extremely rude. He would snap at us whenever we asked a question about the menu, and had a very negative attitude. He clearly saw we were a big family (there were 6 of us), and each time we ordered something, he seemed in a hurry to complete/end the order. We ordered tabbouleh and hummus, and they said they did not have any. I recalculated the order because he was very distracted while taking our order. Our bill came out $74, even though the food we received was for $67. When I confronted him about it, after standing in line for 20 minutes, he realized he charged us for an extra rice and extra fries. I asked for the money back, and he gave me $5 plus some change, although he was supposed to give me $9 back. After I realized this and turned around to point this out, the line to the register was all the way to the door. So, this review my way of getting back at them. Also, I don't understand the hype. The food was mediocre. I've had better shawarmas in Dearborn, MI. Heck, I've had better shawarmas in Midland, MI (which is in the middle of nowhere). I had high expectations for this restaurant, and I was extremely disappointed. Never going back again, not to Lakeshore or any of their other branches. read more

The owners of this restaurant should look into expanding their seat-down space. They usually have a line up which goes all the way to the back door. This makes it difficult to hear your name being called (to go get your food) or find any sort of space to stand. There have been several times that I went to this location and choose to go next door (due to being over crowded). The quality of their food has also been going down due to high customer demand and lack of serving staff. My biggest turn off for this location is how long you have to wait for your food. read more

I'm middle eastern and this place is hands down my favorite place to grab Shawarma in the 6ix. I've lived here for 20 years and I have yet to try better shawarma in any place I've lived (Canada or America). I always grab a beef shawarma over the chicken but that's just personal preference. read more

MOST AMAZING SHAWARMA I'VE EVER HAD Okay if you live in Mississauga/the GTA and you've never tried this, you're sorely missing out. Everytime I go I get their "Chicken on the Rocks," which basically a mixture of chicken and various sauces on saffron rice. For a very cheap price you can get a filling delicious meal on the go, perfect for students and those on a low budget! read more

The food here is great, but that fat chick taking the order is a bitch. If the food wasn't good, I'd never come here again. She's like the soup Nazi, but she doesn't make the food. She's just a cashier. read more

One of the best shawarma places in streetsville, and it's the cheapest one out of all the ones I've been to. No complaints about service. Expect a long line going out through the back door! read more

I stopped going to this location a while ago. I would make it my last resort but I rather not eat than eat here. Their rice is crunchy, their chicken is overcooked and the staff think that they work for the president. Poor food, poor customer service, im never going back here agian. read more

I use Yelp rarely, but I thought it had to be known that the service here is atrocious. Not once but many times. Every single time I have come here it is a 20min+ wait, which most times I don't mind because the food is good. But this particular visit was beyond terrible, in fact I waited 30 min and still had not received my food, so I left without my food even though I had paid about $8.00. There was only 1 cook and 1 cashier on a Saturday afternoon, which is understandable maybe someone called in sick or something, but the way the cook was acting was very very unprofessional, turning up the music loud enough that the cashier could not hear the customer orders, yelling at customers that we're getting frustrated with their long wait times, singing along to the music and walking to the back multiple times to drink an orange juice. Very very disappointed. read more

Came on a Sunday at 12:15. Place was empty. Ordered chicken on rocks and chicken shawarma plate, was of average quality. I asked for less sauce and they gave me less sauce. I'm not sure if the worker that served us was new, but he dumped WAY too much herb onto the garden salad; to the point where you couldn't see the colour of the lettuce anymore... we tossed it out. Average price ($20 for two people) for shawarma in Mississauga. Unfortunately there was a long hair in our chicken shawarma plate (disgusting). Not sure why this place used to be hyped but I'll never go back. *note: 2/5 average rating does not take into account the hair in the food. Otherwise I'd give it a 0. read more

My family used to go to this place for at least last 10years pretty frequently. When the owner "mr.Sam" use to cook there it was a bit easier to complain right away. For the last couple of years he stopped working there and the place slowly become a nightmare... Service is awful, place is mess, if you try to call to place order for pickup sometimes no one picks orders and you have to go and wait 30 min for food to be prepared. The Dude who makes Shawarmas has a little DVD player on front of him and keeps his eyes on a screen watching movies instead of paying attention to cooking!! The food was the only thing kept us coming back with closed eyes on service in messy restaurant but last time we picked sandwiches and started eating them happened something I never experienced before. After couple of bites into my falafel shawarma I felt so painful and heard crackie sound of teeth in my mouth so did hear my hubby... I spitted everything out of the mouth and found a STONE size of little lentil!!!! My teeth were sore for a few hours, luckily no big damage. I was shocked!!! I will never return to Osmow's. BE CAREFUL EATING at THIS PLACE! read more

The food can be good but I've only had the food I want ONCE out of the 6 times I've gone. They have messed up my order almost every single time. I went there today hoping they would give me the order I want but unfortunately again they gave me chicken without sauce. I ordered Chicken on the Rocks (Without rice, but with the sauces) and they again for the fifth time have given me chicken without any sauce at all. I am yet again stuck with plain chicken breast from this place. I'm never returning here again. read more

After reading some reviews about this place and decided to check it out. First off they don't make their shawarama of the spit. They put their shawarma on the flat grill , so the result is a very pushy sometimes undercooked meat. And all their dishes are swimming in sauce. They are better places my current fav is the one on derry and tenth line. Yum toasted pita off the spit! read more

"Shawarma on the rocks" with extra HOT sauce is sooo good! That made me want to come back again. The price is reasonable. The service is okay. The atmosphere is tight as the seating area is small. read more

Best Shawarma place in mississauga!! Its always open, and its always amazing. Theres long lines for a reason !!

i frequent osmos. i think the price is perfect for the size of the shwarma. i'm always thinking i can eat more than the regular, but i'm full soon after. yes, it is crowded and yes, it takes a while for you to receive your food. but honest to goodness, look at the size of their kitchen and the number of customers that place an order. can you honestly expect them to crank out shwarmas in 5-10 minutes for almost half of streetsville's population?? for the reviewers who have an issue with the authenticity of the dish, let me make it clear that for MOST of the fast food joints out there, they are not 100% authentic either. all things aside from authenticity, does the restaurant meet taste, atmosphere and service? that's what this should be based on. read more

This is the best shawarma place in Mississauga, and also the best Osmows of the franchises. It always busy, but the wait is worth it. The food is always good and satisfying. The chicken shawarma is my favorite. I like their filafil too, although I have had better in the city. But the sauce they put in their wraps is heavenly. It does drip and is messy, but oh so delicious.. read more

Writing a review would be doing these guys a big favour - stay away no matter what. It's a dirty, smelly, disgusting place with a non existent service. At least the food is shit. read more

The shittiest shawrma place ever!!! Why this place even exists here i have no idea. The worst service. They will easily forget ur food if u don't constantly remind them. And when it actually comes its got no meat in there. If u want to come to a restaurant to starve this would be the perfect spot for it!!! Completely incompetent staff read more

Not the same as it used to be. Line up takes too long and the staff can be rude as well. Basically when you ask after 45 mins on your order you would think they would feel a little disappointed with their own service. But it's the exact opposite, they feel as if you deserve to wait an hour for a shawarma. Boycotting this place for good. I wish I could give this place half a star. Also the food isn't good as it used to, as it comes back cold. read more

Hands down better then lazeez and alot of other shawarma places due to the customer service and amazing food.

I can't complain about this place. Yes I agree that it is not an authentic tasting shawarma and not the best tasting either, but it doesn't taste bad. Ingredients are always fresh because of their extreme sales and I've never ever been not satisfied about the meat quantity in any of their items. Plus they have had the same prices for the past 6 years. read more

Shawarmas are something you need to put effort into making. The sandwich I ordered wasn't as great as I had it years ago. It was a good price though only being $5 but the chicken wasnt as seasoned or tasteful as I thought it would be. read more

A friend recommend this place to me. With all the build up, my expectation was high, and what I ate was no where close to the best. Quite the opposite actually. I normally love shawarmas, but couldn't finish this one. Plus the staff could be more polite, and the place could be MUCH cleaner. My 1 star review is pretty reflective of my overall conclusion. Would not recommend read more
