Updated review May 18 Victoria day…read more I decided to grab some shawarmas after our walk at Frenchman's Bay. When I entered the restaurant there some people dining in and others waiting for their orders. The chicken duo deal $16.99 is an online only deal. The cashier was trying to ring in my order but didn't realize it's an online offer. The food prep staff told me to order online. The online order process is pretty easy to use and you can customize your wrap and bowl. The Queen wrap comes with pickles, garlic sauce and pomegranate molasses. You have the option to choose your own toppings up to 3 choices. The Queen regular bowl has similar toppings and it's served on top of rice. The food was pretty good but I would say the chicken portions left more to be desired. The only downside here is that restaurant was understaffed and I waited about 30 minutes for my order. If the wait wasnt too long I would give them 4 stars.

I've made a mental note to drop by Shawarma Royale. I've been to its Scarborough location years ago. I needed a refresher. I drove around the building and parked fairly close to the entrance. I then walked in. This eatery is spacious. There are lots of places to sit down and enjoy your meal. The tables are generously spaced out. I headed over to the order area. There was a couple in front of me. I looked at the menu to see what I wanted. I saw chicken shawarma salad. Perfect! The woman taking my order was so sweet and nice. She asked me if I wanted any sauces. I went with tahini and garlic sauce. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I got my receipt and joined others waiting for their food. I saw a man slice the chicken shawarma that would comprise my salad. I saw another man putting my salad together. Watching my food being prepared was wonderful. It also made me hungry. My order was ready. The woman asked me whether I was dining in or doing takeout. It was the latter. She put my container of happiness in a clear plastic bag, with a fork and napkins. I thanked her. What's special about this place is that all three staffers said thanks and hoped that I'd enjoy my food. i liked that nice touch. I put my food in an insulated bag and drove home. I then had dinner. The chicken shawarma on my salad was still warm. I loved my meal. The veggies were crisp. This place was generous with the pickles and pickled radishes. I loved how yummy the chicken shawarma was. Each slice was tender. The tahini and garlic sauce brought every ingredient together. I'd get this salad again. I should try a bowl, too. I had a great experience. I'd return for more when I'm in the area. (465)

I've been to a handful of Osmow's. They are either close to my workplace or in Markham…read more The first Osmow's that opened in Markham is on Woodbine Avenue, just north of highway 7. My first experience wasn't the best. The business made things better when I went back a second time, but it does take a bad first experience to deter me from being a return customer. I have been driving along Markham Road (highway 48) weekly. I flagged getting takeout for dinner here a couple of Wednesdays ago. After getting groceries in Whitchurch-Stouffville, I ordered food from this Osmow's through my Uber Eats app. I got mixed proteins (chicken and beef shawarma) on fattoush salad, with garlic sauce and tahini. I tend to like anything on salad in general, but I crave salad a lot these days. My order was estimated to be ready in 25 minutes. I knew that I would arrive early with my lead foot, so I stopped by Chatime nearby to pick up some bubble tea. Osmow's is steps away from Firehouse Subs. I backed into a spot in front of Osmow's main entrance and walked in. It is strictly takeout from this eatery. All tables and chairs are stacked away in a small corner of the store. I had a nice man help me. I showed him my Uber Eats order number at the counter. He fetched my order that was in a plastic bag. I thanked him and headed out the door. When I got home, I put away my groceries and then had dinner. I like that the container keeping my food safe was compostable. I also got cutlery and napkins in my plastic bag. My mix proteins on salad was yummy. I loved the morsels of tender chicken and beef shawarma. The garlic sauce and tahini were full of flavour. I went with no spice. At Osmow's, it can get super spicy if you go hot. The fattoush salad was fresh. The iceberg lettuce was crispy even with the sauces and proteins on top. I enjoyed the ripe tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and cucumbers in this salad. I did ask that the crispy pita croutons be held. They were. Yay! I devoured my meal. It was so good. My tummy and I were happy. I have found an Osmow's location in Markham that I like. I look forward to trying more food items off the menu. I am eyeing the lamb salad next. (205)

Overall it tasted good and was a lot of food. The chicken shawarma wrap was good but it didn't get any pomegranate sauce. Though I'm grateful to the server when I asked for more chicken and garlic sauce on top of the wrap so it can look like what's advertised on social media. It just looks better! The chicken meal was good and had lots of fries. I liked the Cole slaw and marinated veggies. But I found it difficult eating the chicken shawarma wrap because they are cut into small pieces and filling kept falling out. The place was spacious with lots of tables so I dined in. I came early at 11:30am and slowly got busier.

It was 5 pm and I was looking for a place to get some takeout for dinner. I looked at my Uber Eats app and saw a BOGO deal at Shawarma Royale. I went ahead and ordered two chicken shawarma on rice meals. The app said that it would take between five to fifteen minutes. My order was ready in less than ten minutes. Insane! There's plenty of parking in this plaza. It does get busy with a lot of impatient folks who enjoy leaning on their car's horns. Ignore them, find a spot, and park. I did and walked into the eatery. It looks pretty new. It was spacious and so pretty. I loved the flowers on fake verandas. I want a fake veranda now! There were two men handling food behind the counter. I showed one of them my Uber Eats order number from my phone (I love this feature, which makes it so easy compared to digging up the number in the past and rattling it off). He saw it, looked at the bag on the counter, and handed it over. I wished him a great day. He reciprocated. I left happy with my bundle of food happiness. This restaurant has daily specials. They look good both from yummy and price perspectives. I drove home and had one of the meals. I'll be having the other for dinner tonight. The meals come in styrofoam boxes. They aren't packed full. If you are the type who expects a full box of food, you may be sad. However, I liked it being 75% full, especially when it comes to rice. I normally like salad over rice, so less rice is more for me. I'm avoiding a full-blown carb coma here. It's more like a mild slumber. The rice was good. It was a bit bland, but the chicken, garlic sauce, and tahini make up for it. The chicken was tender and mildly seasoned. It could use more charring, but it wasn't horrible. I loved the garlic sauce and tahini. You could taste the garlic, although I could probably go stronger. My garlicky breath wasn't enough to make others around me run for the hills, but it was there that they'd still want to hang out with me. The tahini was so creamy and yummy. The place has Barbican beverages. I was tempted to get one, but I had purchased a bunch of drinks earlier than I didn't need any more. I want the shawarma poutine. The photo looked good that I hope that the real deal is similar. It's a decent additional to a plaza with a Chick N Joy and McDonald's. I'd return for more when I'm in the area again. (109)

This restaurant has a dining area. There's a take-out counter in the back. Unfortunately, you can not see the food prepping station, so you need to tell them exactly which toppings you want in your shawarma. The chicken shawarma wraps are 2 for $11.50. Excellent value, and the chicken is seasoned well. I recommend their shawarma if you looking for a quick bite to eat. The dining area looks tired and needs a makeover.

I was waiting inline and notice the chef making Shawarma sandwiches but the pita was breaking a lot which, to me, meant their pitas weren't fresh that day so I ordered a chicken Shawarma plate to go instead. The size seems tiny for $11 and I didn't think I would get full but it almost took me down for a good itis nap afterward. I usually eat a lot, I swear! The quality is better than any other in Toronto so far which isn't saying much but not as good as Ottawa. Their garlic paste isn't very pungent. I wasn't killing any vampires anytime soon. Their spicy sauce is spicier than expected. A little above mild, it is good. Very clean and cozy atmosphere. Employees didn't seem very happy but maybe bad day? Satisfied. Try it.

When we got there, we were left unattended for about 8 minutes or so with no one else in line. I get it, covid 19 times means lots of orders to attend to, no biggie. We placed our orders for 2 chicken shawarma plates. It turned out they charge a small fee for using credit cards. I'm not sure if this was something this establishment was doing prior to covid 19 since this was my first visit but you would think amidst this pandemic that a restaurant would discourage the use of cash altogether, but not this place. Mind you, the fee wasn't anything big but it was the principle that matters. Anyway, the food itself wasn't all that good. The chicken was dry, the potatoes were hard, the rice had this buttery taste and their version of the white garlic sauce was something out of a ranch salad dressing bottle. Also, the hot sauce they provided was from the Red Rooster bottles you would find in Asian grocery stores. I've never ever had this kind of hot sauce from a shawarma joint, lol. Definitely not coming back to this one!

The potatoes are okay but a little on the dry side. The chicken shawarma and lamb shish kebab came with a generous amount of meat and we were happy. The meals came with a hot sauce (small size) and a white creamy sauce (big size). I enjoyed the sauce but we ended up squeezing some lemon juice on our lamb to minimize the gamey taste. There was also salads that came along with the meals. I would say the chicken shawarma was better than the lamb. I think we probably would head back next time.
