THEY ARE HARD WORKING CANADIANS!! THAT VALUE THEIR CUSTOMERS!! YOU CAN'T GET THAT ANYWHERE ELSE.. WE DRIVE 40 MIN TO GO THEIR AND IT IS WELL WORTH IT!! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMAND ANY OTHER SHAWARMA PLACE IN TOWN.. THEIR FOOD IS HIGH QUATILITY!  WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT! YOU GET THE AMAZING FOOD, AMAZING SERVICE, THE MOST KIND OWNERS I KNOW.. THEY LOVE CHILDREN!!! EVEN THAT THEY GAVE TICKETS TO MY HUSBAND AND I TO GO SEE A SENS GAME WITH THE PARKING PAID...YOU NEVER SEE OTHER SHAWARMA BUSINESS TO DO THIS TO SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION TO THEIR CUSTOMERS.. 

EVEN WITH SOME BAD REVIEW.. MOST OF THESE PPL THEY OWN THEIR BUSINESS AND ARE GETTING THEIR OWN STAFF TO WRITE BAD REVIEWS ON THIS PLACE!!! BUT BE ALERT PPL ALL THEY'RE BAD REVIEWS ARE BS..... ANYTHING TO PUT OTHER BUSINESS DOWN...

I AM A BUSINESS OWNER MYSELF! AND I COULD GARANTEE YOU I DO NOT WORK FOR HIM I DO NOT PERSONALLY KNOW HIM!! I KNOW HIM BY THE AMAZING GARLIC KING.... WELL HARD WORKING CANADIAN BROTHER!!!

Been going here for years, love the food. Yes, the decor is tragic and need to be changed but in the end , all I care about is quality food which this place has. "He's the garlic king he can do anything!! "

Not Your Average Shawarma Joint. I live in Kanata so today was my first time eating here, and I was very impressed. The Garlic King treated me to a sample plate with his various homemade meat and sauces and I had a small shawarma and potatoes. The big difference between their shawarma is it's all breast meat (no skin) so it's not greasy like most places. Same goes with the potatoes, they are freshly sliced and are garlicky and lemony. Great service and great food, I'll be back.

Great fresh food. I go to Really Lebanese whenever I can. Especially if I want a tasty nutritious meal and don't feel like cooking at home myself...
Either eat-in - large space and very clean - or bring home and eat on my own china.
Pleasant staff.

My favorite Shawarma in Town.. I go to the Garlic King almost every week. Best Garlic sauce in town and I love their turnips that are freshly made in house. The newly added spicy chicken is delicious and their portions are generous.

Great food! Great people!. My husband and I have been fans of The Garlic King for several years. The food is consistently fresh and tastes amazing. Their fatoush and garlic potatoes are the best I've had anywhere. The schwarma sandwiches are very flavoursome and the chicken is juicy and never dry or fatty. On top of the food being great, the owners are genuinely nice people who do a lot for the community and will go above and beyond for their customers. For example, our old car had issues with its starter and Adel came out and helped to get it started and saved us getting a tow! I recommend the food and while the jokes can sometimes be over the top and corney (although I really actually enjoy that), these are good people!

Best Shawarma in town!! Always great service and fresh food. They have a great designated area for Gluten Free options which is great for someone Celiac or gluten intolerant. Great for all the family with a big variety and portion are generous. Oh and the garlic sauce is so tasty!! Definitely worth the drive there.

(Still) The Best shawarma place I’ve ever tried. The food is perfect. Huge selection of sides, salads. The meats are delightful, and the garlic sauce is by far the best one I’ve ever had. They also have my favourite garlic potatoes and rice. The portions are big which is a huge plus, and for the price it’s definitely worth it. I can get two full meals for myself out of a large platter. The only critique I have is that the chicken is a little dry, but the variety of juicy salads and sauces more than make up for that minimal flaw. 5 stars!

5 stars for their service. But, they should improve the portion of the meat. No comparison to what Shawarma Palace offers. Also, the quality. But, Garlic King let’s you add tabuli for free whereas Shawarma Palace and other places don’t. But, the rice is definitely better at Shawarma Palace. Brown rice would be great. Also, potatoes should not coated with garlic. It looked so greasy and not so healthy any more. The service was nice and quick.

Been eating here (gluten free) for the last 5 years and I've never been sick once. The owner and the staff are great and follow strict protocols to avoid cross contamination and ensure safety if you are or have celiac disease. Great food and amazing service, would highly recommend as a safe place to eat it you are gluten free!

Right off the bat, super friendly. Everyone there had a smile which was nice to see after so long. I ordered a big monster plate to go. Food was really good, beef was well seasoned and marinated so it wasn't chewy. Spicy chicken was also well seasoned and tasted great. Last few times I've gone to other shawarma shops I was getting fatty chicken. How is chicken fatty? I don't know, but here it was just pure chicken meat, didn't taste or see any fillers. And of course, the garlic. I wanted a strong garlic and this didn't disappoint. Excellent texture, was well done and they were very generous with it as well. Tabouli was also surprising, it had the perfect texture and lemon/salt/oil ratio and you don't feel like you're choking on a big piece of dry parsley. Only thing I would do differently next time is order extra meat because it was so good it flew off the plate. Wish I'd taken a photo of what the plate looked like before it got eaten because there's nothing left of it now.

Came here because I wanted to meet the Garlic King and try his famous shawarmas. I was not disappointed. Met him and he is as exceptional as his food is. I got spicy chicken wrap and a mix wrap and I couldn’t believe how fresh it tasted. Their chicken isn’t as juicy as I’d hoped for but it is still amazing. Their veggies add so much flavour and compliment to the freshness of the chicken. This shawarma place is a must try to all Ottawa residents. They also have a gluten free menu which is so great. And they also offer a big variety of food so don’t only try their wraps.

5 stars all the way! @halimi i was actually there a couple days ago when this happened, i dont remember seeing you but maybe you were hiding behind a mask no one knows these days with covid, what happened is the young lady was closing up plates with almost no meat in them and the King kept telling her please wait dont close the plates yet as he needs to add more food. You have to give credit where it's due. The king will always be king. Thanks again for the best food and service as always !
