Based on other reviews, especially Keith T.'s, I ordered the half grilled boneless chicken plate with Bokhari rice. The plate also comes with turnips, salad, hummus, and garlic. I decided to upgrade the salad to a fattoush salad, get an additional 2oz hummus and garlic sauce (I didn't know how big/small the ones would be that came with the platter), as well as 2oz of Ali's Hot Sauce and an additional Kabab Halabi skewer. The chicken was cooked perfectly, great char but still super moist. the hot sauce was very spicy. The fresh herbs and vegetables on the side were such a great pairing. The fattoush was good, especially with the extra crispy pita chips on top. I do wish, however, that plain rice was an option, as I actually didn't need flavoured rice and would've preferred plain. My husband ordered a chicken taouk wrap with garlic, lettuce, onion, and tomato, plus batata hara and a Coke Zero. I've never had fateh before and also wanted to try it because of Hadia G.'s review. I got a single order. It had freshly cooked chickpeas with a mix of yogurt and tahini on a bead of pita chips and topped with pine nuts. This was by far my favourite and I could eat it ALL DAY. My husband and I were obsessed. OBSESSED! It was warm and delicious, creamy but not super rich, and very flavourful rather than just salty. I swear it should be illegal to eat this many pita chips, but we just couldn't stop. This is a bold statement, but I think it's one of the top vegetarian dishes I've ever had. It's on the breakfast menu but is available all day. I got knafeh for dessert, also for the first time. It was nice and cheesy, and I expected it to be sweet, but maybe just a little too sweet for me. Since this was my first time trying fateh, I can't compare it to anywhere else, but I would absolutely order it again and again!

We got some meat pies and they were delicious. The meat pies are $2.75 each. They are generous with the meat too, unlike at some places. The dough is the perfect thickness, not too thick nor too thin. It was slightly crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. I asked for spice, but no lemon juice. The spice here adds flavour but no heat. They make the meat pies in the back, so you don't see the oven like at Aladdin and some other Lebanese meat pie shops. When you order they give you a buzzer which flashes and vibrates when your order is ready. Staff were courteous and service was efficient. It's a takeout joint only. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot.

Moodys is 8 zaatar pies and three cheese. I highly recommend fewer pies for Moody because it is starting to get more expensive and that is why it is only a 4-star rating.

Not being familiar with the menu, I found it to be a lot to take in. Recommend reviewing the menu before you pop in. There were three self ordering kiosks at the entrance, but they were all being used by a group that arrived at the same time as us. I would have preferred to use to kiosk so I can take my time and review the menu and customize my order. I ordered the falafel wrap which came on saj bread. The hubby ordered a chicken wrap, and a side order of fries and onion rings. It took about 10 minutes to receive our order. Not like traditional shawarma joints where they make it in front of you and you get to devour it within minutes of ordering. Falafel wrap was ho hum. Falafel was fresh, saj was nice and chewy, but putting french fries in a wrap isnt a wow factor for me. There were minimal toppings inside and hardly any sauce. All I could taste was the falafel. I actually let my hubby finish my wrap as I got bored of it. Hubby said his chicken was good, with the added hot sauce to his wrap, but did note the chicken tasted strange. Fries were the only thing that we commented was good. It was your typical frozen coated fries, but the seasoning they put on it was different and tasty. If you are used to places like Shawarma Palace and traditional Ottawa shawarma joints, I am not sure if this place will do it for you. It wasn't bad, but not a place I would rush back to.

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.
