Barg Wrap (Steak) Shawarma Plate…read more We stopped in today and ordered take out for lunch, after a friend had recommended this place to us. We spoke with the hostess and she was an absolute sweetheart. We did not know they have been around since 2008! However, there is new ownership this last year. I must say there's a reason people are recommending the food. There is free parking in behind the restaurant. The interior is cozy and has tables for dining in. We opted for a wrap and a plate; splitting both. The plate was loaded with rice, garlic sauce, hummus and lots of chicken shawarma. Topped with another sauce, this was the perfect combo. The meat was juicy and flavorful. There were multiple dressings to choose from for the salad. The Barg wrap was a steak wrap and my hubby commented on how tender the meat was. The wrap was an ok size and was a nice mix of veggies. All in all we had a solid experience and will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

I never order the shawarma but he swears it's the best he's ever had. I opted for their barg because it's always been fantastic. Not so much this time. The meat was so over-cooked that it was actually difficult or eat. The salad and rice were great but the meat was like boot leather. Apparently the shawarma tasted as good as it always has however, my when husband dug deep into the rice and put a big fork full into his mouth, he chomped down on a rather large piece of crumpled up aluminum foil. For the life of us, we can figure out where it came from since the food was in styrofoam containers and the only other thing we were given were plastic utensils and napkins. Although my husband thoroughly enjoyed his shawarma (sans foil), I was rather disappointed with my dish. I guess if there's a next time, I'll go for the shawarma too.

The bread was a great combination of soft and crispy. Atmosphere - 4/5 They went for a rustic look to combine with the classic shawarma place look. Has more seating than you would think.

We grabbed this place upon seeing a picture of their garlic potatoes. Didn't order it on the first visit but also didn't need to because their portions are more than adequate. I'm usually a red meat person and my partner adores chicken. However, Shawarma Spot made us question our choices. I got the Donair and chicken mix over rice and my partner got the chicken over fries. The pieces of chicken are large, not typical shreds of chicken and the portion of meat was very generous. It's white meat and super juicy. The pieces of Donair were charred to perfection and the portion was also very generous. Their meats are marinated for 18 hours! After our first meal, my partner was hooked on the Donair and I continued to order the mix. We had to add the garlic potatoes though! Our most recent trip to this establishment was with family. We ordered the meal that served 4-5 and received two party trays worth of food. One tray included the rice, potatoes, fries, and topped with Donair and the other tray included salad with the garlic sauce and hummus. Had to get a small side of chicken so the family could try it. We recommend getting the harissa, really flavourful and has a kick to it. We were only able to finish half the food but had to save room for dessert. They offer roll ice cream by the other wall and the texture was on point. We love that the toppings are customizable and also their minis were large enough to share. Can't wait for our next trip here!

The owner told me that they are Syrian based Shawarma and different than some of the other places I might have tried. Here, they do something called a tarboush/ tarboosh. It's a little 'hat' for your shawarma that consists of extra meat and sauce. I loved this addition!! These are longer and skinnier based Shawarma but definitely flavorful. I loved both the garlic sauce as well as the sweet molasses. I returned on the grand opening and got both chicken and beef shawarma to share with my coworkers. The crew loved them and one of them said he will be coming to Oshawa just for them; So definitely a hit. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other menu options

The setup is very similar to Subway where you go up to counter to order, pick your toppings, then you can sit down or take it to go. The food quality is excellent! Not a big menu, but still very good offering beef or chicken in either dish or sandwich format. They also have a number of appetizers and sides to choose from. In the end we tried both the Chicken Shawarma plate and the Beef Shawarma sandwich (or wrap). The beef sandwich was my favourite, added onions, lettuce, tomato, hot peppers, Tahini sauce and hot sauce, spectacular! Order it in a combo and you get regular fries and a drink. The chicken dish also came with Basmati rice, roasted potatoes (awesome), salad, hummus and pita bread. Garlic sauce and hot sauce on the chicken, again very good. Tried both the Falafel and Samosa appetizers. They were both very good, but I found them both a bit dry because the don't offer proper dips for them, like a mango chutney or something. Overall I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be going back!

Felt like there was some communication issues there. Could have been better. Food was warm. I found there was more beef than chicken in the box. Garlic sauce was good. Quite skimpy on the hot sauce even though I asked for mild. I think the sauces should come on the side so the whole plate doesn't become a soggy mess. Visually unappealing when you open up the box. Portions otherwise were large and a medium can feed 2-3 people depending on their appetite. I would like for them to have some salad or hummus on the side without paying for it. Otherwise the platter series does come with salad. But it is too much for me and a whole box full. Otherwise don't think i will come back to try their other items on the menu.

The place was brightly lit and there was lots of space each time I went. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

This was my first time trying Mandi and boy, it was delicious!…read more I wonder why I had never tried this before. Their slow-cooked lamb mandi plate was the star of the show for me. I am usually that person who does this like lamb as much coz of the smell but trust me when I say, this was the softest and juiciest no-smell lamb I have ever had. It was melt-in-your-mouth soft and packed with flavor! The rice portion was enough for 2-3 people to share depending on how hungry you are. It also comes with fried onions and potato on the rice. The chicken and lamb mixed mandi was good too but honestly after trying the lamb, I was sold! However, I did like the rice on the chicken mandi better than the lamb one. I thought it tasted better. The place was quite busy and it's an order-at-counter system they follow but the food was brought in quickly which is appreciated.
