As a nail salon owner with a Vietnamese mom and Lebanese dad, I've grown up appreciating diverse…read moreflavors--and Middle Eastern food always has a special place in my heart. I was in Ottawa for a quick trip from Toronto, checking out new beauty supply brands for my salon, and decided to start my morning at Ottawa Kabab. It was exactly what I needed! I got there just as they opened at 11 a.m., and the atmosphere was calm and welcoming, perfect for a solo breakfast before a busy day. I ordered the chickpeas with vegetables and olive oil and the chickpeas with yogurt--and let me tell you, the flavors were just incredible. The olive oil on the chickpeas was rich and aromatic, blending beautifully with the fresh vegetables. The yogurt dish, creamy and tangy with just the right kick of garlic, reminded me of my dad's homemade Lebanese breakfasts. The fresh, warm bread tied everything together--it was like a little piece of home away from home. Ottawa Kabab is the kind of place where you can tell the food is made with love and care. I'm already planning my next visit on my way back to Toronto! If you love authentic Middle Eastern food, this spot is a must-try.

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 :)

I may have waited a bit longer but it felt like every dish was prepared with love the way this type of cuisine should be prepared and served. The kabobs, rice and more were bursting with flavor and the owners made us feel at home. Turkish flair and home cooking makes for a great stop for eats in Orleans.

TLDR: Delicious food at this new Turkish restaurant in Orleans. A bit pricey but worth the splurge…read more I was looking for a place to get food for my family for Good Friday and decided to try Turkish Anatolia Restaurant since we love trying new restaurants and my parents haven't had much Turkish food. My dad loves variety, so I got the Mix Kebab Meal for 4 ($109.99) which comes with chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, chicken breast kebab, beef steak kebab, chicken wings, 2 different types of ground red meat kebabs, salad, bread, and your choice of rice or bulgur (and I requested half and half). I added 2 orders of the Sigari Boregi ($7.49) as well. I called in my order and it was ready for pickup in 30 minutes. Service was quick and efficient. The food was a hit. As expected, my dad loved the variety. My brother and sister-in-law enjoyed it too. We were 6 adults and it was plenty of food. We even had some leftovers. All the meats were delicious. Very flavourful and moist and tender. The rice was plain white rice, but the texture was great. Soft and fluffy. The bulgur was also soft and fluffy. The meats also came with grilled tomatoes and grilled jalapeno peppers. The peppers were really spicy. There were also 2 small containers of a creamy garlicky sauce, which was also good. The salad was excellent. In addition to lettuce, there were red onions, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese. It came with 2 small containers of creamy salad dressing and a small container of oil. We didn't use the oil, but the dressing was delicious. The Sigari Boregi were rolls of phyllo pastry with salty cheese. They were crispy and tasty, but a bit too salty for my liking. Although we got takeout, they have plenty of seats for dining in. The meal was a bit more than what we usually spend, but it was well worth it. Lots of free parking available in the plaza where the restaurant is located. It's next to the Real Fruit Bubble Tea and is where the King Shawarma used to be (was a Prince Shawarma before that). (53)

Decided to come enjoy their weekend brunch which is fairly a new addition to their menu. Firstly,…read morethe ambiance early morning was very calming. Though located in byward market, this restaurant is a steps away from the busy parts. The restaurant itself has an outdoor patio & 2 different dinning areas. One seems to be more vibrant in colour the other room is dark interior with mood lighting. The brunch menu was a fusion of Turkish and parts of Middle East. Here is what enjoyed: Muhamara was our favourite, the perfect blend of cashew and red peppers. Stuffed Grape leaves were alright. Lubneh with Dukkah beats was tasty. The beets added a rich flavour to the yogurt dish. Beef lahmoujoun, the mint/dill sauce it was paired with was absolutely delicious. Turkish Egg, poached eggs with labneh. It was good but eventually the flavour of yogurt was too empowering & it needed a something to balance. I ended up mixing muhamara with it. Shakshuka, this was alright. Black seed pancakes, this was a savoury item served with tabouli. This was probably the least favourite on the table. The flavour was bland. Overall, the experience was good. The service was great! Our food arrived in a timely manner. The server did a great job at examining the menu.

My friend got the Chicken Breast Kabob ($14.98) which was 1 skewer of chicken breast kabobs, rice, salad and naan bread. My Chicken Shami was moist and very flavourful. It was well marinated and quite tasty. The rice was soft and fluffy. The salad was fresh, but a bit boring with just iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions. Be warned that the non-creamy sauce that looks like salad dressing is very spicy. Unless you love hot spicy food, do not make the mistake that my friend made by dumping all that sauce on the salad without tasting it first, lol. The white creamy sauce was not spicy, and tasted good with the chicken. I'm actually not sure which one is supposed to go on the salad, lol. The naan flatbread was fantastic and my favourite part of the meal. It was a bit crispy on the outside, but had a good amount of chew to it. There were some small blisters on the bread. I love blistery bread! I will be dreaming of this bread. Yeah, it was that good! Since we were in the midst of the second wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic during our visit, indoor dining was closed again, so it was takeout only. They normally have a lot of seating indoors. They don't have a patio. Service was efficient. There's free parking in the plaza parking lot.

I really liked the bread, which had a pattern on it and a texture that matched the sandwich contents perfectly. And I loved the packaging, it was a bit unexpected. All in all, a good takeout option. It was roughly a 7 to 10 min wait from ordering to walking out with our food.

They recently expanded to…read moreCanada with this location in Ottawa (grand opening was August 31, 2020) and one in Surrey, BC (grand opening was September 30, 2020). So this Ottawa location was actually the first in Canada! They are planning to open a store in Toronto and one in Mississauga. (I still can't believe Ottawa got something before the GTA did, lol). I've been wanting to try this place since it opened but it's not in an area that I frequent. I finally made it out there recently. Overall it was good, albeit a bit too salty for my liking. I got a Chicken Durum Doner Wrap ($8.99), a Beef Doner Burger ($7.99), an order of curry fries ($2.99) and an order of flaming fries ($2.99). My husband and I split everything. My favourite was the Chicken Durum Doner Wrap. The meat was flavourful and moist, just a bit too salty, in my opinion. The meat had a nice smokey flavour to it that I liked. The wrap was nice and chewy. I really enjoyed it. I found the Beef Doner Burger to be ok. The beef was a bit dry and not as good as the chicken. The fries were good. I loved the seasonings on them. However, I found the portions small for the price. Both the Curry and the Flaming flavours were spicy. They give you 3 dipping sauces, spicy, garlic and yogurt. The latter two are creamy and rich. The first one is more tangy. My order also came with a moist hand towelette and an allergens card, listing the common allergens found in each of the items that they sell. Service was courteous. Since we are in the midst of the Covid Pandemic and there's not a lot of room inside, you order and pay. Then they give you a buzzer. You stand outside and wait. When your order is ready, your buzzer will buzz and they bring your order out to you and you return the buzzer. The place is on Elgin, so street parking only.
