Idiots! If you want to close 10:30 why dont you just say and mean 10:30 the idiots staff just want to leave early and not work, what else would you expect from a middle easter owner. Fix your problems its canada not egypt 11pm means 11 pm .

This restaurant is the best shwarma hut I have ever ate in my life. The staff are always friendly, they are always jammed packed. Waiting for you're food is not a problem, as it is all worth it in the end! Great place to eat, I highly recommend it.

Undoubtedly the most popular shawarma joint in the city. There are a variety of locations but I feel like this one is the busiest. There will regularly be a line that crowds this narrow Streetsville unit.

I personally don't find it to be very special and prefer many other shawarma joints to it, including Pita Nutso which is just a few units down and much quieter. My favourite is the Osmow's... more

Nothing beats the taste of osmos chicken shawarma. Make sure you have time because this place is always packed. Also the dine in section isn't too clean but whatever. Take it to go and eat your amazing shawarma

I am glad to see that my experience echoes that of others on here. The shawarma itself is not bad, but it certainly is not far and away the best in Mississauga. Pita and Grill, for example, is far better.

The service is nothing short of deplorable. I went in when there was no one else in line, the guys behind the counter mutter racists remarks and speak in arabic whilst ignoring me. After a... more

Anytime I'm craving chicken on the rocks (which is often), I'll make the drive to this location. They're usually pretty packed, understandably so, but it's always worth it. Get the chicken on the rocks!!

To this day the best shawarma, but recently very slow service. Should add another register with the volume and money they make. So if you don't mind waiting 20min plus, it's def worth it.

I have been eatinf from osmos for a while now and usually there food is average, today i bought a chicken on the sticks and it was the most disgusting thing i have had, the sauce flavor masks there terrible chicken which was half uncooked and pink for some reason, the fries were very starcy and I immediatly felt sick after eating it. Terrible quality of food wouldn.t reccomend again.

Great food. Bad service. Used to be my go to shawarma place and I used to rave about it but last few experiences have left a sour taste in my mouth. The meat is a hit or miss. Sometimes you get raw bits in your meal. Forget calling to order takeout. ITS USELESS. They don't actually prepare your order until you pay and then it gets in the queue. Prepare to waste a lot of time waiting for your... more

Decent shawarmas, well priced but the facility is quite run down there is never any parking and the location is too small and always very crowded. Cleanliness isnt their highest priority.

Easily my favourite shawarma place. I've been coming here for years and I've honestly been comparing every other shawarma I've ever eaten to their shawarmas--they are literally my benchmark for all shawarmas.

I usually get the super chicken shawarma, unless I just want a small shawarma fix. Only thing I noticed is that their portions have noticeably decreased over the years, but luckily the... more

Note: twice, I've been given the wrong order, so check your order before leaving! I've gone here a few times and the first 2 times were alright. As people mentioned, some of the staff have changed though and it's gotten much worse. I don't think I'll go back again. I went yesterday for a quick meal after a workout and requested whatever the healthiest pita was. The woman taking the order then... more

20 mins and counting for chicken on stix. Really??? NO SHAWARMA joint is worth 20 mins!!!! Never come here again!!!!!

It was a sad day for me visiting Osmows.
After not going for close to a year; I was very excited to have some delicious Mediterranean Cuisine (Chicken on the rocks to be exact).

Upon entering I noticed that most of the old staff has been replaced with newer unfamiliar faces which is okay.
Ordering went very smooth and I got my food relatively fast which was a surprise as I had a huge queue... more

HALAL

Food is good but I find it's not traditional and the service is just O.K. The only dish I really enjoy is the chicken on the rocks. They give a bed of rice in huge portions with chicken on top and then their special sauce which is the best part. This dish, is the only thing I get from them. The shawarma and other dishes aren't that great. Portions are good and the food is cooked well.

Food is good but service is lacking.

Not expecting amazing service but at least shorter wait times and when I ask for extra, extra garlic, and I pay extra, please don't make me come back and ask for more.

Updating the review. This place is gross. It really is a by or miss. There garbage laying around close to the food, and last time I got the chicken on the rocks the chicken tasted 2 weeks old because I'm pretty sure they mix the old
Chicken with the newer chicken on the flat top. It has declined majorly in the past 2-3 years. I rather go to other newer locations.

Hands down better then lazeez and alot of other shawarma places due to the customer service and amazing food.

One of the better Sharwma places in the area. I have tried the chicken on the rocks (roast chicken on rice with seasoning sauces) On my previous visit, and have had their wraps and dinners. Overall, the food is quite good and inexpensive.

This review is for the Downtown Toronto location. I don't see it on Yelp...

I followed people's recommendations and order the Chicken on the Rocks, thinking it is like the Halal Guys' chicken rice... NOPE. Big nope. So disappointed. The rice is normal I guess, but if you've had the Halal Guys' chicken rice, you would know it's different. The chicken was meh, almost bland, not that I would know... more

Osmow's Streetsville: cashiers are nice. I've never had a bad experience with them and I've been going here for 5 years now. Sometimes the chicken has a ton of fat on it which makes for some disgusting bites otherwise the quality of food is great. Only downside is it can get really busy and the lineups go to the back of the store which isn't that big to begin with so if you're seated and it's... more

I've dined at Osmow's Grill (Scarborough location) many times as it is a local restaurant and their food has alway been delicious - service, superb. However, my recent visit (June 26th, 2014 @ 6:38PM) my order was less to be desired. The portion was awfully small compared to all previous times ordering take out. When I mentioned to the gentleman serving me that the shawarma appeared awfully... more

Their Greek Salad uses massively large chunks of Feta and I absolutely love their chicken shawarma! Not a fancy place, but hits the spot!

Overrated place for sure. I absolutely do kit think their Shawarma is even close to being authentic. For a causal wrap yes, but a Shawarma no and never.

Ok so the food is decent. Most people know this. The customer service as most of those people will tell you leaves a lot to be desired. I mean patience is a virtue , that is unless your starving and you stand there watching other people behind you get food and all the employees lolly gagging around.. it's pretty frustrating.
What I saw last night in streetsville was just halarious. So I order a... more

This review is for the Lakeshore branch. We drove all the way from Michigan yesterday, and my dad was raving about how awesome their shawarmas are because he tried them last year. After finally getting there, we started our order, and the cashier was extremely rude. He would snap at us whenever we asked a question about the menu, and had a very negative attitude. He clearly saw we were a big... more

If the service was average this would be my go to shawarma spot...but place too crowded and staff takes too long to make a reg size shawarma...plus they forget orders sometimes. Food is good, don't get me wrong..but service is below average.

Would give less than 1 star if it was possible.

Every time I go to Osmows, its the same thing. Order, wait for 30+ minutes for a sharwma, regardless of how busy it was. Me and my friend were literally the only customers, more and more people started coming after. Waited 35 minutes for one single sharwma. Ridiculous. Its' not like the food is amazing either... They cheap out on the chicken when... more

I want to write a nice review about this popular place as the food is quite good and one can immediately see its appeal. Good tasting food at low prices is always a nice combination. However, I cannot figure out the service.

I was just ordering when a young woman butted in the front of the line insisting she pay for her food. I assumed she had been served and still owed money.....a very... more

Osmow's is located in Streetsville, ontario, upon arrival you will notice its just a little whole in the wall, with a line exceeding down the street, i thought wow the food must be great for people willing to wait 30-40 minutes on a busy night to get served. but overall its worth it! try it love it.... more

The food can be good but I've only had the food I want ONCE out of the 6 times I've gone.

They have messed up my order almost every single time. I went there today hoping they would give me the order I want but unfortunately again they gave me chicken without sauce.

I ordered Chicken on the Rocks (Without rice, but with the sauces) and they again for the fifth time have given me chicken... more

Called in to place an order for pickup, and was immediately asked to hold the line. The person who took my order Said it would be ready in 15 minutes only to get there and wait another 10 minutes. Got my order wrong. Service here is absolutely terrible and imo service is what makes dining out a make or break experience. The food itself is good but still can't get the taste of that bad service... more

it's gotten a lot worse. i use to visit this place before it was popular, sam use to take his time and make it well. now it's just business, and it tastes bad.
he's pushing his long term clients away to other places that are opening up, and doing a better job for the customer.

First time coming here in the morning shortly after they opened around 11am and it's already super busy! But worth the wait!

The food is good. The dish 'chicken on rocks' is simply amazing. The resturant itself is cramped up os space and the hosts are not that friendly. 3 star because the food is one of the best around.

So I went there last night for the first time after hearing about it from a friend. At first I got really excited to see such a huge line. I knew if it were so many people there, it must be out of the world. Believe me, it took me 55 minutes to get my order from the minute I placed the order. I did not see any sense of urgency amongst the staff. They were nice but there was literally one girl... more

They've lost their touch. The food has been lacking significantly. It just keeps getting worse and worse.

Their shawarmas are dry and flavourless. Their fries are most of the time cold (even though there's a large volume of clients).

Wait times can go up to 30 minutes for a shawarma, which is ridiculous --- especially since you're standing the entire time.

Dosent live up to streets ville osmows. On the rocks had double the sauce and half the chicken as usual.

So I deliver mail on Queen in Streetsville. I been meaning to try Osmows for awile now cause someone at work kept telling me how great it was. So I finally got around to it I went in the place, there were few ppl eating at the tables but no one at the counter ordering. I stood at the register ready to make my order. 4 people behind the counter who would stare up at me occasionally then go back... more

I normally go to the location on lake shore but I was in the area of Streetsville and decided to grab a quick lunch from a familiar spot. BAD DECISION! This location is disgusting and smelt like wet dog. There were boxes flattened on the floor to soak up water... obviously the staff were too lazy to mop or dry up the place.

Worst of all had to be the service. The woman who took my order was... more

Food is good but the service is soo bad...just go to lazeez down the food...same food but a lot better service...I use to be a regular at osmow when Sam (owner) use to be there..now the service has gone down hill

Step 1: Go to Osmow's

Step 2: Order the Chicken on the Rocks

Step 3: Fall in love

Step 4: Come back and order it again & again & gain lots of weight.

Step 5: Spend your family's life savings on this addiction

Step 6: Seek help.

I just spent my last dollar at Osmows in Streetsville.

Absolutely fed up of the inconsiderate and outright rude service.

I've been a customer for 8 years and the service keeps getting worse each time. The food is still of a decent quality but not worth the treatment they dish out to customers.

I've had a few bad experiences recently but the final straw was a gentlemen refusing to cut a... more

I would rate this place a 3.5 outta 5. Though I love the food here the atmosphere is so cramped at this tiny Streetsville location. Apparently they have 7 locations, including a new one being renovated in the Cineplex Courtney Park Plaza. I'm super excited about this.

I almost always get "chicken on the rocks" which is a bunch of rice with the chicken on top drenched in all of the sauces.... more

Used to prefer Pita Nutsy, but Osmow's surpassed them years ago and hasn't looked back since.

You can see the success with the openings everywhere, and its because they've kept with what has worked -- good food at a reasonable price.

This is food for when you are hungover and anything will do. For the price it was a large portion however it was overly rich. I was told there would be salad with ours - there wasn't. They ran out of all meats except chicken that night so the options were very limited to say the least.

I honestly didn't care for this place - I've had better rice and chicken meat while at paramount near erin... more

Good food,but over charges on debit fees

Nice place ,its been there for years and very busy...
they seem to have lost the service side of this place since the owner( sam) id not around as much.
Little things that can be avoided to improve service is just not there anymore.
1. they charge .35 for debit card use ( actual fee to them is .15 but... more

Best shwarma

This location is actually located in Streetsville (Mississauga) and is not located in downtown TO. The shwarma's are awesome - their hot sauce is legitimately hot and can really bring some tears to your eyes if you get a lot in one bite. The location always seems to be busy but the wait is worth it. Much better than Pita... more

Great experience

Went here last week with some friends, good food, nice employees, nothing to complain about, overall very enjoyable. Would recommend.

Totally Overrated

My shawarma was tear jerkingly salty and the meat was charred. Same with my buddy's order. I don't know if this was an isolated incident, but with so many Middle Eastern eateries around, I'd go elsewhere for my Shawarma fix. A shame considering how highly rated this place is!

The King of Shawarmas

For fans of authentic Mediterranean put this on your stops when visiting the west GTA. Our order was 5 chicken shawarmas to go. WOW! The pitas-great texture. The veggies- crisp and fresh. The sauces-flavourful and creamy. Generous servings of chicken.. But a couple of people in our group had tiny bones. To us it just authenticated the experience. But the... more

Vicked

Yes I agree with the overall opinion. Food rates at 5/5 stars Service rates at 2/5 stars for being very very slow. If you call your in order in half an hour before though, and get a good mango shake with that, its a freakin AMAZIN meal.

Service is the worst service ever, i was one of the first person to ever even s@!t at there location when they first opened. They place was extremely ghetto, and damnn the food was good. Now the food has lost its touch it had. But still a decent place to eat, but worst service ever.

I agree with the one reviwer Great food, sh**ty service. I ordered four chicken

Great good, HORRIBLE service. The food is so great though, that if you don't mind waiting extra time and sometimes dealing with a messed up order, you'll definitely enjoy your time. there have been occasions where a few of us have waited over an hour for our food though, which is inexcusable, especially when they also get the orders wrong. So, 5 stars for food, 1 star for service, so i'll... more

I don't know who wrote that the restaurant is dirty..........they obviously don't know what dirty is. They've just opened a second location. I just ate there and came back to my office to see if I could rate the restaurant. I'm middle eastern myself so I know this food and IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! Much better than other places which we won't mention. Good job guys and keep up the good work!!!!

Excellent. Whoever wrote the place is dirty probably mant the tables, because so many people come and go, they can't always keep up, I have never seen it dirty. It is the best place..addictive.

the resturant is dirty... the need 2 cleannn it... u can only imagen wats growing in their food with a place that dirty... more

Excellent food, I can have it 3 times a day!

They have the best chicken shwarma. Awesome.

We eat there minimum twice a week! They will make anything you like, just the way you like.

osmows grill is the best it has food so good it makes u wanna go 3 times a day and on friday and saturday they close at 1am plus they have berr sweet
