It's like I entered a portal and was teleported to another part of the world. This is a family-owned Syrian restaurant and delivers very authentic Syrian food ; I came here with my middle eastern friends, and they loved it. There is gorgeous buffet too! The buffet is timed so make sure to come appropriately.

We were wandering through the Ottawa Farmer's Market when I noticed The Falafel Guys' stand. It was…read moreone of the few kiosks that had a noticeable lineup and I figured if people are lining up it must be good. I wasn't hungry enough to grab a Falafel Wrap, so I decided to instead go with the Bag of Falafels ("Bag of 7 freshly cooked falafels"). It was handed to me the second I finished paying and I was off. As I suspected, it's worth the wait. This is some of the best falafel I've had in quite some time. They're light and fluffy but with a good exterior crunch. The subtle flavor is terrific, too. And the included tahini sauce elevates the whole experience. I do kinda wish I'd gotten the wrap, because I'm sure it was excellent.

We found their booth at the Ottawa Farmers Market, at Aberdeen Pavilion. What a find!…read more First of all, it's fun to sit and watch the flat bread being made. A little ball of dough is punched out in air and spun about 18 feet into the air, put on a pillow and transferred to the rounded grill....I'm sure there's a name for it but no clue. Someone message me if you know what the grill is called. We got the Syrian Pizza with Syrian sauce, cheese and tomatoes. It's served as a wrap. So flavourful! Also had their fresh falafal, also good...but the Pizza is better.

They sell Pide under the name Ottawa Kabab too, but bigger and more expensive, the ones I got are smaller. I got the meat one ($4.99 BOGO ) and the cheese and sausage one (also $4.99 BOGO). Both were delicious. The meat Pide was filled with ground meat. It was flavourful and smelled so good. The cheese and sausage Pide had lots of cheese and little cubes of sausage. It was tasty, but I preferred the meat one. Although my husband liked the cheese and sausage better, so I guess it depends on your tastes. At any rate, we both agreed that they were delicious. I ordered on UberEats for pickup. Staff were friendly and efficient. They even wrote "Thank you" with a smiley face on my takeout box, lol. The restaurant itself has some seating inside as well as a patio. The parking situation is the only downfall. There is free parking in front of the restaurant, but there are not too many spaces and it's very tight. Difficult to maneuver around. Street parking is available but not the easiest to find nor convenient. Glad this place popped up on my UberEats deals :)

This is a decent find especially at this price point. I…read moretried the 3 kebab mix and added the hummus and toum option. They don't hold back the spice so a pleasant thing IMO as one gets to enjoy the food it is supposed to be. Priced very well so impressed was I that I ended up making a delivery order the following day. With a dearth of decent food for this cuisine in this city I would even give it a half star bump. Give them a try if you like this type of food.

They are the doughnut shaped ones and were just the best I have ever had. The place is small and more of a take out joint but the falafels blew me away.

I took away one star because the kabob was quite small. The platter was packed with flavor including the rice which is hard to get at other restaurants. The salad had a delicious tang! The fries were nice and hot. The restaurant is very tiny so please do not go with a large group of people. There are 4 two seater tables on the sidewalk. I will come back the next time and try the falafel.

Their dough could be thinner, the falafel needs to be more fluffy, the mini kaak was not fresh, I see the place has lots of potential. Service was nice but as soon as they got crowded they forgot one of our orders and were overwhelmed! Again it's a new spot so and I completely understand.

The menu is authentic mix of Lebanese Syrian and Turkish options. Everything we had was delicious!

The food was worth the wait though!! We got the small platter which was for 2-3 people. It fed the two of us and we had some leftover to take home as well. The platter includes salad, hummus, garlic sauce, pita, raisin rice and three types of kababs. The rice was so delicious! I'm not sure what spices they used but it was so flavourful. All the meats were really well seasoned and cooked. There was not a single thing we tasted that wasn't good. The place is also really good for bigger groups as they have larger sharing plates as well. Will definitely be back to try more things!

The interior was beautiful-they kept true to their Syrian roots. We took Pita Bell Mix for 2-3 people but I swear that mean could easily feed 5. There were so many side dishes. The food came out fast, fresh, hot and in generous portions. I would like to add out of many similar restaurants, I liked the rice. It was cooked properly and well seasoned. I am only taking one star away because the customer service could have been better. Once our tea and food were served, the waiter did not come to ask how we were. The washroom is in the basement and was clean. There is also a prayer room for those who need it.
