100 times has this restaurant been mentioned to me to try. One of my friends who's opinion I…read morerespect - this is his GO TO RESTAURANT. Service was nice. Fresh bread was delicious. Caesar salad was quite basic but decent. For that price, better put a little bacon or increase the size. My pizza (Italian) was ok but the meats chosen were not very good. Created a funky smelling pizza. Wifey ditched the meat from her slice and ate around it. She had the mushroom soup (which she liked very much) and the beet pecan salad (she barely ate it...way too vinegary). Warm lemon pie was a big whatever. It was not bad. It was not excellent or great. It was just ok. I would certainly return but I am not running back.

I was in Kanata and after searching for restaurants nearby, found out that there was a PiRho Grill…read moreon Hazeldean Road. I've been wanting to try PiRho Grill for the longest time. I am a sucker for create your own bowls filled with veggies and sauces. I looked over the menu beforehand and had an idea of what I wanted. My husband was not too familiar with this place, so he just followed my lead. We were both greeted right away when we walked into the very clean restaurant. Service was friendly, and the staff was super patient and walked us through everything. We both settled on the grain bowl. I topped mine with tzaziki, spicy harissa, shredded lettuce, red cabbage, red beet quinoa, pickled peppers, pickled onion and tomato and cucumbers. I got the vegan option for protein which is the zucchini fritters, and topped it all off with lemon tahini thyme dressing. I also got a side pita and a vegan granola ball for the kid. I found the bowl OK. It was very pretty, but I am not sure if I did my best creating it. It was missing some acidity and nothing really stood out. I would skip the spicy harissa next time as I was not a fan of it. I also did not like the zucchini fritters, which I was so looking forward to trying. On a positive note, the red beet quinoa was amazing. My hubby had the same thoughts about his bowl and was not wow'd. The star of the show was that pita. It was fresh and chewy. I think next time I go, I will try out a wrap.

I still remember when I discovered the original PiRho Grill down in Barrhaven 4 years ago. I…read moreabsolutely loved it. The whole "salad/grain bowl movement" was new to Ottawa and the Mediterranean flair of PiRho Grill reeled me in. I spoke with Tom, one of the owners, and even back then he was thinking of opening up multiple locations. I urged him to open one in Westboro, but it hasn't happened yet (Tom, if you're reading this, please think about it, the only salad place I have in my 'hood is Freshii, of which I am not a fan. I don't like tasteless and spongy chicken, please help me out! Lol). Anyway, they opened up the location downtown on Elgin next, then this one on Hazeldean in Kanata. Maybe it's because the Barrhaven location was where I had my first taste of PiRho Grill and thus has a special place in my heart, but I found the food not as flavourful at this Kanata location. It's still really good, and in my opinion so much better than the national chains of salad places, just not as good as the Barrhaven location ;) I had the salad bowl ($12.25) and chose a mix of all the greens. For my dips I got the eggplant one and the red pepper hummus. For my protein I got half chicken and half baked zucchini cakes (so I got 1 cake). For toppings I got cucumber and tomato salad, roasted beet quinoa, red cabbage and crumbled feta. I was really tempted to get the pita crisps because they are really good, but I'm trying to limit my carbs and reduce my gluten intake, albeit to the chagrin of my taste buds. For the dressing, I got it on the side and I got the yogurt dill, which tastes a little like tzatziki. Service was friendly and efficient. During this Covid-19 Pandemic staff were wearing masks. We were in Stage 3 of re-openings so indoor dining was allowed and their indoor dining space was open. They also have patio seating. I took my food to go and did my favourite thing: ate in my car! Yep, the secret's out, I love eating alone in my car parked in a parking lot or on the street. I did this long before the Pandemic, I just appear less weird doing it now! If I really like ya, I'll invite you to eat in my car with me, but this invitation has been extended to very few people (and now with the Pandemic even less people, lol). Alright, enough about me and my idiosyncrasies, back to the restaurant... So the restaurant is in a plaza with lots of free parking. It's in the same plaza as Chocolats Favoris, Starbucks, and Farm Boy. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Kanata and like salad or grain bowls. They have wraps as well!

I had to go back for their beef Shawarma! It's the best flavored shawarma I've had so far in…read moreOttawa! I also ordered their falafel sandwich. When I saw those good-looking falafels, they were calling my name lol! The combination of falafel, hummus and tahini sauce in that sandwich was absolutely delicious. As usual, the owner was super friendly and very welcoming. The overall atmosphere and vibe was so positive. I got 2 small falafel sandwiches & 4 small beef shawarma for $51 plus tip.

I'm surprised this place wasn't listed in Yelp as I've been going here for quite a while now…read more Ottawa Shawarma has become the main (only?) place I go now for shawarmas (okay, actually their salads but still). Why? Taste and value. Taste wise, their chicken is great. Might not be as flavourful as Shawarma Palace on Hunt Club and Bank, but it is tasty and moist. Their potatoes are also a highlight as they are always moist. You also get a very large quantity of food if you go with their salads or plates. And price wise, well, I find it pretty darn affordable. Service is also pretty fast. As it is in an outdoor mall, parking is plentiful. So, I definitely recommend it. I no longer go to shawarma places on Merivale or Baseline since I found this place.

Shawarma Palace might have to take the crown for the best shawarma in Ottawa!…read more As a Torontoian, we have decent shawarma but it doesn't compare to the shawarma in Ottawa. Whenever I'm in Ottawa, this is a spot you got to stop at. I admit it is pricer than other places but the service is friendly and efficient, things that you need at a booming place. At $30 for a mixed plate, I can't say it's cheap but it is filling. Prepare to have itis after and enjoy the massive amounts of protein. 4/5

The food is good ha) they are so apologetic strive to please. The restaurant is airy and it is very pleasant to sit by a window on Carling and enjoy the food in the clean restaurant. The portion of one plate is enough for me and my teen. We leave stuffed. It's a bit pricey but it's very flavourf, and not abundantly salty like Shawarma Prince on Merivale. The hardest choice is living between a mouthwatering wrap or a plate! I'm from Toronto and grew up on gyros (with fries in it!), shawarma and pitas but this place does a really good job keeping the meat juicy, sauces tasty and vegetables fresh.

Greek on Wheels is a chain that sells takeout Greek food. This location is so fast. I definitely…read morerecommend it if you are hungry and want food NOW! Lol. It literally took them like 3 minutes to make my food, haha. I ordered on UberEats and got a notification that Greek on Wheels is preparing my order and then immediately after got a notification that my order was complete. What?!? I usually get a notification that my food is ready for pickup. What happened to that step? Anyway, I was literally 2 minutes away parked in another strip mall as I just finished running errands there, so I drove over. And my food was ready waiting for me. I couldn't believe it. These guys are lightening fast! Although I still think it's weird that they "completed" my UberEats order. Usually the customer "completes" the order after pick up. Anyway, I got my food and it was tasty, so I was happy, haha. I got 2 Gyro Sandwiches. UberEats was having BOGO on them, so it only cost me $10.99 for both. They were stuffed with gyro meat and also had tomatoes, onions and tzatziki. The pita was soft and fresh, the meat was tasty and plentiful. Vegetables were fresh. A very solid gyro sandwich for fast food. Service was friendly and very efficient. Free parking in the strip mall where the restaurant is.

It was absolutely delicious. The chicken souvlaki was tender and flavourful. Although there was…read moreonly one skewer of chicken, it was packed tight with cubes of chicken and plenty of meat. The salad was fresh and green. The Tziziki and pitas were also fresh and delicious. Delivery was quick. We were all thrilled with the outcome of our first time ordering from GREEK ON WHEELS. Unfortunately, we ordered from THE HAPPY GREEK earlier on Christmas Eve and went to pick it up only to see they were closed. We had placed our order, received a confirmation, debited my credit card, and went to pick it up at the confirmed time, only to see a CLOSED sign on the door. They had stolen our money. What a scam. So we quickly had to find an alternative. AND WE ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT WE CHOSE THE RIGHT PLACE. THANK YOU FOR SAVING OUR CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER. You made it perfect.

It's in a rundown looking strip mall and even inside, it's not much to look at, but in these Covid Pandemic times, I'm almost exclusively doing takeout anyway, so it's all about the food! Lol. The chicken is flavourful and I like that you get a combination of soft and juicy pieces and the slightly crunchy more grilled pieces. The Chicken Shawarma Platter is $14.99 and you get rice, potatoes, salad, vegetables and lots of chicken, and a pita. The salad and vegetables were fresh. The potatoes were good, slightly crispy on outside, soft on the inside. The rice was also good. Service was courteous and efficient. I just wish they had a smaller platter for cheaper. Free parking in the strip mall parking lot.

This restaurant was very strange. We tried this out as a group celebrating a birthday last week,…read morevery excited to try it. The decor is fairly upscale, and they had live music, which was nice but made it hard to talk or hear the waitress. I really, really wanted to give this 5 stars, because it has the potential to be so damn good. The prices were very reasonable. The portions were mid-sized, reasonable for the price. Every bit of seafood was cooked to perfection - I had calamari and the seafood paella, and each bite of meat was succulent and tender. But the first thing that was lacking, and weirdly so, was appropriate seasoning. Like I said, the calamari meat was cooked to perfection - but in a heavy, bready, North American style coating with sauce that was very much like ranch. More appropriate for mozzarella or zucchini sticks. The seafood in the paella was succulent, and the rice was amazing - but the overwhelming flavour was *salt*. So much so that the taste of the seafood was overpowered. In addition, the service was much less than stellar. The place was almost empty, yet it took us almost an hour to get water. The one waitress greeted a friend who came in with a hug and loud banter, but ignored us for a long time and even was annoyed to have to serve us. Some people got their mains while others hadn't even gotten their starters yet, so some people were still eating far after others had finished and even had to leave. Every star was for the seafood. This restaurant has potential but doesn't live up to what it could be.
