Ottawa Foodies

What is it about the shawarmas at this place? They're delicious and in a whole other league from any of the shawarmas you can get on Bank Street. I think it's because the chicken is actually moist. That and the sauces are terrific. The shawarma platter comes with hummous, pita and tabouleh (if I remember correctly) and it's a really tasty, hearty meal on a budget.

If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the Garlic King or his incredible garlic-mobile parked outside!

The first time I had the beef donair with a side of fries. I really liked it and yes it is VERY garlic-y.
I suggest you say yes to all sauces offered, especially the tahini sauce for the fries.

The second time I had the chicken shawarma with hummus and fatoush sides. I didn't like the fatoush, the dressing was overpowering.

The food is good and the prices are reasonable. The only complaints about the place are:

-The guy who took my order (both times) is so annoying I wanted to shove a dirty sock in his mouth.
-The menu on the wall is not very detailed so you need to ask alot of questions if you've never been there before which means you have to talk with the annoying guy alot.

The fries here are those long thin spiraley fries and they serve them with this pale orangy-pink sauce. I think it's garlic sauce mixed with tahini.

They really douse then and they get so covered it's at that point where it's so gross but so good all at the same time.

Better for eat-in as opposed to take-out because it sort of congeals.
