    My husband and I came here for some takeout and it was great! Their menu is very simple, sandwich, salad or rice bowl. Chicken, beef or tofu. Toppings include lettuce (iceberg), red cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. Sauces are special sauce or spicy sauce (or both). Whatever your choice, it's $12.50. I got the Chicken Rice Bowl with all the toppings except for onions. Both sauces, but light on the sauce. My husband got the beef Donair sandwich with all the toppings and both sauces. My rice bowl was delicious! I loved that the chicken was crispy. Ingredients were fresh. And they didn't overdo it with the sauce. It was perfect. The tomatoes are slices as are the cucumbers. They are the same in the bowl as in the sandwich. I think in the bowl, diced would be better, but that's just a suggestion. It was still really good. The chicken was lean real chicken breast. It was well seasoned and the sauces were flavourful. The spicy sauce is not that spicy. The special sauce is creamy. I had a bite of my husband's sandwich and I enjoyed it too. The Donair meat was great. Didn't taste like cardboard, which is my common complaint with Donair. They went easy on the sauce for his sandwich too, which I liked, hehe. And they didn't give him onions either, haha. That made the sharing of his sandwich more enjoyable for me, so I'm not complaining, and it actually didn't bother him, even though he loves onions, lol. So I think they switch up their bread provider often. I advised the staff I couldn't eat sesame seeds and he advised me the bowl did not contain sesame seeds and their bread sometimes does, but not currently. Score for me, hubby had no excuse not to share his sandwich with me then, lol (don't worry, I shared my bowl with him too). Staff were super nice. They sell some branded merchandise in the store. They have some patio seating in front of the store, but just 2 tables. We enjoyed our meal there and would eat food from there again. Street parking only.

    Tofu doner! SO GOOD! (takeout)

    This....is...the...best...thing...that...I...have...had...in...Ottawa...in...the........LONGEST TIME! The hubby ran into Wolf Down to grab some doners. I got the tofu one, he got the other two choices. I believe it was steak and chicken. Clean & simple menu. Clean, fresh ingredients. I got my tofu doner all dressed: purple cabbage, lettuce, cucumber, onion, the white sauce and the spicy sauce. That spicy sauce was BOMB, and nothing like I have had before. I loved that it had a hint of curry in it. Delicious! The bread/bun was amazing, soft and chewy. It's made by art is in bakery. Tofu was crispy and seasoned well. It tasted a lot like greek style chicken. Get the tofu doner! Trust me!

    There's merch as well as delicious food!

    I'm a sucker for donairs, and apparently the Germans are too, calling it doner. Wolf Down is Ottawa's latest German doner restaurant. Tasty meat, spicy sauce and a delicious sandwich that I forgot to photograph made for a delightful lunch. My only complaint: Ottawa folks, stop being so cheap! When I asked to add a tip before I tapped my credit card, the guy at the counter had to stop and figure things out - nobody had done it before.

    Went here for my lunch break for the first time. It was really delicious. I ordered the rice and chicken bowl (box?) with all the toppings and both their secret and spicy sauces. Seriously good, and big portions. I think I paid around $15 which is reasonable considering the size. Recommend!

    Was craving a filling big lunch after a late night out and this place came through. Not only was the food fresh and delicious, the portions were massive. I don't eat dairy and usually miss out on tasty secure so I Love love loved that they offer vegan options.

    I love their sandwiches. Everything from the bread to the protein is delicious. I personally prefer the chicken but the beef is good too.

    This place is in the Rideau Centre food court. I had lunch here recently. I wanted the Bacon…read moreLobster salad but was told they didn't have anymore lobster. Then I wanted the Taco Shrimp salad but was told they didn't have any shrimp either. For real? So I ended up getting the Cobb salad, which was $10.50, and contained spring mix, grilled chicken, bacon bits, avocado, grape tomatoes, and chopped egg. It usually comes with your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing, but to the dismay of Cobb Salad purists I opted for the balsamic vinaigrette instead. You can get a free little piece of bread with your salad. The ingredients were fresh. I felt that there wasn't very much chicken in it though. However there was a lot of egg. I think there must have been like 2 eggs in there. I really liked the balsamic dressing. It was tangy yet smooth. The spring mix was a true spring mix, not mostly romaine with some token leaves of other greens like some places. Overall the salad was good, but I felt it was overpriced, and it didn't have anything really special about it. However, it was one of the few healthy choices available in the food court.

    We had come here as we were staying in the area from out-of-town, and wanted to try the food, as we…read morehad read excellent reviews. We were happy that we did decide to give this place a try, as it was everything that we had expected, and more! When we walked-in, we were greeted by a young man, that asked if we wanted take-out or dine-in. We chose dine-in however, the restaurant was quite busy at the time so, we had to be seated at a table near the front entrance. Upon sitting, we noticed the iPad that was on the table for ordering. We were also given paper menus to look at, which was easier. Once we had placed our orders, we waited only about ten minutes for our salads to arrive, along with the hummus and pita bread. The salads were absolutely amazing; the bowls were filled to the brim with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, olives, and feta cheese. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty, and that dressing, WOW; it was delicious! It tied the salad in so well, it was the best salad we had ever tried at a Greek restaurant. The hummus was also delicious, with heated-up pita bread creating the finishing touches. This hummus was definitely homemade, and marvellous! We even asked for an additional pita, as the one we had wasn't enough for the four of us. This appetizer was definitely a great start! Once our main meals arrived, we were pleasantly surprised at how large the portions were. And the homemade sauce on top of the rice was wonderful; I don't know how they made the sauce, but it was perfect with the rice. The chicken was tender, with the tzatziki sauce not being needed often due to the tenderness. The potatoes were huge, and deliciously spiced. The meal was massive, and we couldn't finish it all; definitely worth what we had paid for! Throughout the entire meal, the server checked on us, bringing us water when we had asked, and making sure we were well taken care of. As we were leaving, the owner/chef asked where we were visiting from, and if we enjoyed the food. This place was hands-down the best Greek restaurant that we've ever been to; down to earth family-owned, amazing food, and great hospitality. Will definitely be back, and would recommend that you all try it as well; you won't be disappointed!

It's located in a small strip and sometimes it takes time to find parking but not bad at all. The food is really good and fresh... You can feel the flavor of the marination and cook in the grill. The plate that I would go back for?.... The pork souvlaki and the excelent garlicky hummus. The service is super friendly and the chef will always ask if everything was as a good as we expected. The atmosphere is simple but practical and confortable. I've been here 3 times and I think I will go back everytime I come back to Ottawa.

    So I struggled to write this because I used to love this restaurant. The portion sizes were…read moresignificantly shrunk, and the brewed coffee was horrendous. I usually get a latte there but decided on a regular one, that was a mistake. Their food did taste good, and their chutney was still delicious but the service was a bit gruff. They weren't rude by any means but I was ignored for 10 mins just waiting to ask for a takeout box. I could tell he was a bit overwhelmed and probably having an off morning, so I didn't take it personally. But when I'm paying $30 for one breakfast bowl and a coffee, I'd expect more than 2 cherry tomatoes cut in half and a few mushrooms in it. The food is delicious but you're definitely overpaying and 50/50 on the coffee lol

    In search for weekend brunch this place came up we thought of trying it out. Parking in streets is…read morenot existent. Had really look at side streets a bit far to get one. All the nearby spots are reserved for the apartment dwellers in the building. Ordered a Huevo Ranchero ($16) - which came with scrambled eggs two corn tortillas with salsa, cheese, sour cream and a side order of fries. The eggs could have used some seasoning even with salsa it needed something extra A Vegan Breakfast Bowl ($14) - a mixture of tofu, spinach, mushrooms and tomato chutney - which somehow tasted to all 4 of us like onion chutney. The vegetables done good, but tofu again had just no flavour. Tofu had a spice rub all over, but it tasted like plain tofu. The Bacun strips were rice paper rolls with some attempted flavours but none came through. And two Vegan Bennies ($16) - a super grainy slice of bread topped with the same tofu, green onions, Bacun and some red pepper strips (NOT Coulis as described in the menu). If some person was having a tofu dish for the first time I think they would describe tofu as no flavour at all. We vegans know that you can do amazing things with Tofu. The home fries in the above dishes was the best - now that we could give 5 out 5. All of us had to go and get Sriracha and Ketchup from the counter to rescue the dishes. Coffee was too weak as well. When you go in and order on the counter and you get food delivered to your table. Should the restaurant still offer to tip on the machine BEFORE even we were served? The order did take a long time, the table not clean when we sat, no condiments on the table and coffee refills slow. An extra star for giving tons of vegan options
