This is the second time my hubby has brought home a salad from this restaurant and I must say, its…read morepretty good. He ordered the Greek salad with chicken on top (I think its called the Horiatiki Salad, on their menu). Underneath the chicken, there are tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, red pepper, feta, Greek olives and a Greek dressing. It does not come with pickles or turnips, but the hubs added those on because he knows how much I love them. This place has some good pickles and turnips. I usually pick through the salad and create my own dish, leaving out the chicken. The salad was not packed like other shawarma places, but for a lighter meal, there was plenty for two. If you are starving, I would not recommend sharing. They do specialize in more Greek takeout though, think brochettes, rice, potatoes, gyros, souvlaki, with a splash of shawarma. I'm planning on exploring their menu down the road. So far, its a good, solid place for some healthier grubs.

Idriss is an Algerian restaurant. I went there to get takeout for my mom and I. Neither of us have…read morehad Algerian food before so we got a few items and shared. Overall, we were very pleased with everything. We got the Mhajeb (2 pieces for $5.99), Beef Bourak (2 pieces for ($4.99), Chicken Bourak (2 pieces for $4.59), a Chicken Sandwich ($8.29), a Beef Sandwich ($8.99), a Mkabez ($3.25) and a Nest Pastry ($3.39). Mhajeb is an Algerian flatbread. It reminded me a bit of the paratha from India. The Mhajeb was filled with onions and tomatoes. It was slightly chewy and I loved the texture. It had a warm cinnamon/nutmeg element to it. I would definitely order this again. The Bourak were like spring rolls. They were filled with ground meat and cream cheese. I would describe them as a cross between an Asian spring roll and a Greek Tiropita. They were crispy and I enjoyed them. The sandwiches were on a long baguette that reminded me of the bread that is used in Vietnamese Banh Mi. Now both Vietnam and Algeria were once French colonies, so I am not too surprised that they would have sandwiches with French influence. The chicken sandwich had grilled chicken breast kabab pieces in it, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and sauce. The beef sandwich had ground beef kabab pieces in it instead of chicken breast, bit otherwise the sandwiches were similar. I enjoyed them, but I will try other items next time. The heart shaped dessert (Mkabez) had a marzipan filling and the icing was rosewater flavoured. It was very sweet. The nest shaped pastry was vermicelli with ground pistachios inside. It was also very sweet. The desserts were very pretty, but too sweet for my tastes. Service was very friendly. I had lots of questions and the lady answered them all and was very patient. I liked that they labelled which Bourak was chicken and which was beef; they did the same for the sandwich. I also like that the receipt is itemized so you can see how much each item costs and also the names of the items. The restaurant is where Cat's Fish and Chips Used to be. It's in a converted house. There is parking at the front and at the back on their private lot. I would love to return to try some other items. I will also be ordering some more Mhajeb :)

Five Stars -- The Best Philly Cheesesteak I've Ever Had…read more I just had the best Philly cheesesteak of my life. I don't say that lightly. From the first bite to the last, it was absolute perfection. The steak was unbelievably tender, sliced thin and piled high, cooked just right so every bite was juicy and full of flavour. The cheese? Melted perfectly into every bite, rich and smooth. And the bun... warm, soft, with just the right hint of crispness. It held everything together like a proper cheesesteak should. And here's the part that shocked me: it was better than any cheesesteak I've ever had in Philadelphia -- and I've had plenty. This one sets a whole new benchmark. Every ingredient tasted fresh, every flavour balanced. No shortcuts. No filler. Just pure, delicious craftsmanship. It's the kind of sandwich that makes you stop mid-bite and appreciate what's happening. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed something this much. If you think you've had a great Philly cheesesteak before, think again -- this one is on another level. I'll be back. Now let's talk about the Onion Rings I got as a side! Simply perfection. Nice and crispy in a very tasty batter. Best in Ottawa, by far! I will definitely be back!

My husband and I came here recently for an early dinner…read more We each had the 2 piece broast chicken combo ($7). Each combo includes fries, coleslaw, garlic sauce and a can of pop (although we never got any garlic sauce, but they gave us 9 packets of ketchup (yipee!), since I love ketchup and garlic sauce is usually fattening anyway, I was happy with just the ketchup). The wait is long because they make everything to order. It was about a 20-25 minute wait. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside with a nice hint of flavour. I feel that the chicken is slightly better here than at Zaki's Broast. Broasted chicken is supposed to be less greasy and oily than fried chicken, but I still found it oily. The best broasted chicken I've ever had was at La Hoyo in Halifax which is now closed :( I'm still looking for chicken like that... The fries here are much better than at Zaki's in my opinion. The fries at Laziz are hand cut and lightly seasoned. The coleslaw here is also amazing. It's the creamy type which I usually don't like but I liked Laziz's coleslaw. The dressing is slightly sweet and they use purple and green cabbage, so it looks really colourful. There's a nice crunch to the coleslaw too. The older man who works here is very nice, but the younger guy was really indifferent towards us. The place is clean enough, as are the washrooms. There's sufficient seating and lots of free parking. It's in the same strip mall as the Mark's, Sushi Kan, and Eclipse Asian Cuisine.

This is a cashless store, and there are self serve kiosks when you walk in. Tap on the screen and order up some yummy food. I got the falafel bowl, with a lettuce base ($11.00), the hubby got beef and tahen bowl with a rice base ($14.00). Both bowls were devoured. I really enjoyed the falafel. They were spiced well, and a bit different than all the other falafel joints in Ottawa. I can't put my finger on it, but it was really good. I also really enjoyed how the lettuce in my bowl was chopped up finely. The texture was great. The hubby also wanted to try all the sides, because why not? Here's the breakdown: Labneh: Strained yogurt mixed with mint, za'atar, and cucumber, wrapped in saj bread and grilled ($6.00) This was the only app that we thought was OK. I mean, it was good, but it was basically pita wrapped in a yogurt sauce similar to taziki. It might be better to eat this one in the restaurant. Za'atar fries: ($4.00) These were amazing. It comes with your choice of hummus or garlic sauce. Fried cauliflower: ($6.00) Fried and dressed with a tahini sauce on top. Very good, but recommend eating it at the restaurant to maintain its crispiness. Also grabbed a bag of sumac pita chips. ($4.00) melt in your mouth, crispy, goodness. Highly recommend picking up a bag. They also have a sweet version. Garlic sauce: They nailed this sauce. It's perfect, and not too in your face, garlicky. Prices: Okay, so some of the prices are on the higher side, but you can taste the quality of the ingredients, so I don't mind shelling out some coin for some good food. If you've made it this far in my review (thank you) and if you have not checked out Bibi's yet, you are missing out. Seriously, go there and get yourself a bowl, or a wrap...or even just the fries. Everything tasted phenomenal.

The Long Version: I was browsing UberEats to pick up some dinner for my husband and I after work. Oh My Grill is close to my current work location and comes highly recommend by a colleague of mine, so I was thrilled when I saw they had a BOGO (buy one get one free) offer. It was $13.99 for a chicken or beef gyro, BOGO. I got the chicken one. And when I told my colleague about it, she decided to get the same thing, lol. The gyro usually comes with Tzatziki, tomatoes, lettuce and onions. I requested light on the Tzatziki and no onions and my order came as requested. The Greek pita bread was thick and fluffy. They were generous with the amount of chicken, which was flavourful and mostly lean, which I liked. No big grisltly pieces. Lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. The amount of Tzatziki was good. It was creamy and very garlicky, lol. Both my husband and I enjoyed our gyro wraps. Service was pleasant and friendly. There are some seats to dine in, but it's mostly a takeout spot.
