    This is a cafeteria-style restaurant that may be short of class and formality, but definitely high on taste and quality. A busy lunch-time location for downtown workers and government types during the week, the location is bustling yet the service is still quick and efficient.

    The shawarma's are reliably good, as are the falafel dish and sandwich. But it is the beef kebob platter that is really worth having; succulent kebobs with steaming rice, soft potatoes that are topped with hummus and a special sauce. The quantity is generous as well.

    After having seen a Shawarma place at literally every corner in Ottawa and after being told that all of them sell excellent fresh Shawarma. I stopped here for a quick bite. The decor is just basic cafe like for quick dining. I didnt care and was looking for good food.

    I know and love my Shawarma, but my sandwich didnt live up to my expectations and left me mighty disappointed. The salad and tahini/hummus were fine, but it was the meat that left more to be desired. It tasted like the bottom of the rack, over-cooked and hard meat. Also the pita wasnt fresh and soft, it was hard and chewy.

    It was faily cheap for $4.50 but doesnt justify the sub-par quality of food.
