The Garlic King - Ottawa, Ontario

This is our favourite place for shawarmas. They are prepared fresh & you pick out your own toppings. They have a variety of tasty sides to choose from. Being celiac, I do not have to worry as they have a dedicated Gluten free section. Staff are super friendly & helpful. Shout out to ... Just Dave who always greets you warmly when you arrive & makes your visit a pleasant one. Read more

We had such high hopes for this place, got regularly recommended to our family. Got a family deal and every member of the family was let down. The pros - the person who took the order was very energetic, polite and funny. Took the order and warranted a tip as well. The garlic ... sauce was the best I’ve had. The cons - The chicken was old and stale, there is no way it was fresh. It was dry and tasted like reheated chicken that was cooked days before. Even the pita that was included with the meal was stale, taboul wasn’t fresh either. In short, a let down and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else coming here. Read more

The Donner wrap the meat was probably 3 days old and it was warmed up for me for about 30 seconds I guess. My wrap was super awful the meat was so dry that it was like dry desert. Very salty sauce couldn't even eat it. Please stop selling Donner ... if you can not make it fresh. It will ruin your business. I will never return. Read more

Nice decently sized garlic chicken wrap We came here for a quick bite, it was nicely cooked and I took the spicy chicken which wasn’t spicy at all but decent in the taste

Good food, good service, ok decor. Tried the shawarma sandwich and was happy that the meat is mostly chicken breast. Also liked the fact that they toast the bread & chicken BEFORE they add the veggies. This way your veggies aren’t warm and soggy. Tried the spicy chicken that was recommended by ... the cashier, but I didn’t really taste any special flavour from the chicken. Mostly I tasted the garlic spread, and the turnips. It’s awkward to order because you have to pay first, but the menu is above the service counter. So you end up walking towards the service counter deciding what you want, then walk back to the cashier to place your order. It would make more sense to put the cashier after the service counter. The kids get a kick out of “The Garlic King Thrown” at the entrance. It’s a fun photo opportunity. I would recommend you try them out. Read more
