  Let me begin by saying this is hands down the best shawarma I’ve ever had in Ottawa! We went for the saj family platter and it was so mouth-watering that I ended up getting a head start and took a few bites in the car 🤣. I fed my whole family and had plenty left over for under $60. What a steal! Great staff, super friendly service and the menu has a big selection from smashed burgers, poutine and all kinds of wraps. Would highly recommend.

  I go to this restaurant often. Not only are the guys super friendly, the food is always great. My personal favourite is the Saj wrap, but there is so much food with that dish that I end up over eating :-). I am not a small man either, and I am so full afterwards. The Shawarma sandwiches are always top notch as well. I highly recommend.

  Went in today, unfortunately Google only always 5 star reviews. I would definitely give this place more than a 5 star review. Had the Saj family platter. Quality 10/10 and the portion is very generous. I have been eating shawarma in Ottawa for the past 20 years. I can honestly say they beat every shawarma place I have been to.

  “Built by Legends, Served Like a Feast” The Saj shawarma I had wasn’t just food it was a declaration. A rolled-up epic, easily 24 inches long, maybe more. It came out like a scroll of flavor, packed with tender meat, crisp vegetables, and a garlic sauce so balanced it could broker peace between spice and cream. Every bite was engineered for satisfaction. But here’s the real magic: the people behind it. You can feel their pride in every detail. They’re not just making shawarma they’re building moments. Fast, kind, focused, and clearly passionate. You watch them work and it’s like watching a team that knows they’re creating something worth remembering. And the portions? They don’t play. TikTok said they go big, and they do. I saw one of their plates being assembled and it looked like a culinary monument. I’m coming back for that beast next it’s not just a meal, it’s a challenge accepted. This place is a celebration of generosity, flavor, and human excellence. If you’re anywhere near it, go. Don’t hesitate. Don’t overthink. Just show up hungry and let these wonderful folks show you what real food, real service, and real joy look like. You’ll leave full, grateful, and already planning your next visit. I know I am.

  This saj sandwich is no joke, ive been eating shawarma all my life and this takes it to the next level. First It's thin and crispy when you get it. Second they stack the meat here. Third, pomegranate molasses goes on the chicken, which for real ones they know it's the move. And finally it's huge, it fed two of us and that's the kind of bargain and quality you don't find everywhere in the shawarma capital of the world. I'll edit this review with a picture next time I go because we decked it in the car as there was traffic on the 417. Garlic sauce is fluffy and on point as well as the potatoes and bakalawa.
