Shawarma Prince

Ordered the chicken shawarma family plate. Very small portion.

Had the beef shawarma plate… great portions and everything was absolutely delicious. Staff were super friendly… this place is the real deal!

Expensive and no taste sorry. Who ever write this reviews probably they never eat real shawarma.

I have been here a few times now, and each experience is more disappointing than the last.
The chicken is dry and oversalted, the portions are small and the potatoes are cold… in addition to the staff. I’ve felt rushed, and like I have inconvenienced them in some way when I would like to simply grab a shawarma. Very poor experience twice now. Never again.

This is a solid shawarma place, with almost the best garlic potatoes I’ve had.
I give it four stars particularly because of the staff, who are welcoming and friendly whenever I go in. It seems like they genuinely like working there, which is always important!

I love this shawarma place. It’s clean, the food it’s great, price is affordable and the servers are friendly.

As part of my goal to sample and review every shawarma place in Ottawa, I decided to give this Shawarma Prince a try. The location was convenient, clean, and brightly lit. The staff was friendly, and was probably the fastest service I’ve ever gotten. Ordered the chicken plate to go, and was quite surprised. It was a pretty generous portion given the price and everything tasted very fresh. The potatoes and rice were okay, but the chicken and that garlic sauce blew me away. The chicken looked juicy yet well cooked on the spit and tasted absolutely perfect. The garlic sauce was strong in flavour and was a perfect compliment.
Their menu was very typical of a shawarma place, but it was nice to see an explicit low-​carb option on the menu (I know that’s not hard to achieve at a shawarma place, but taking sauces and seasonings into account can be difficult sometimes).
While this may not have been the perfect shawarma plate, I’m getting closer in my quest, and Shawarma Prince is definitely on my revisit list for quick and fresh food in the future.

I love this Shawarma shop !
The food is delicious (that garlic sauce !), the staff is friendly and will go out of their way to put a smile on your face. My boyfriend and I usually split a platter, so you have a meal for two for about 12 – 14 $. Def worth trying out !

Stopped in tonight for a falafel wrap and noticed that they changed their turnips to a new «red/​orange» kind. I asked the employee about the new change, and he insured that they taste the same. I found the texture to be softer, but not a huge taste difference. They actually reminded me of the pickled turnips in a jar that are being sold at Loblaws. Hopefully these guys are still making them home made.
Other than that, best falafel sandwich around! Great, clean, restaurant, and they always say thank you and ask how your meal was when leaving.

Ordered the chicken shawarma plate. Generous portion. Food was fresh. Had the choice of white or brown rice. All for $ 13.
Don’t know why this location is so good while the one on Innes by Costco is so terrible.

Had a chicken shawarma with a side of potatoes. Reasonable price and good food. Garlic sauce is money. Found the floors slippery… greasy almost? Definitely a go to for shawarma meals.

I’m constantly on the hunt for the best shawarma in Ottawa! While Shawarma Prince may not be the «best» (I wonder if any ever will be!), it’s certainly awesome. I find many shawarma places slightly dingy, but this place is lovely! The Merivale location is all bright greens and blues with cute wall art and food displays.
They tout themselves as being «the healthiest shawarma place in town» and based on the freshness and colour of their ingredients this just might be true! I strolled in tonight around 10 p.m. and everything looks as delicious as if it was just chopped and put on display. The meat still looked fresh and juicy (let’s be serious — even at 11 a.m. some shawarma places look like they just turned the spits on with the same meat as yesterday) and there were plenty of homemade sweets that didn’t look like they’d been out for days.
The food itself was delicious. The menu is standard Lebanese fare (chicken and beef shawarma, donnair, kafta, kabob, falafel) and my chicken plate cost about $ 12. It came with a mound of delicious potatoes, rice, salad, fresh pita and yummy chicken — superb. Highlight? DEFINITELY the garlic sauce. It might be my favourite that I’ve tried so far.
Another highlight at this place is the service. The few times I’ve visited there’s always been guys in their mid-​twenties who were super polite, charming and funny. They know a ton about their ingredients and are always friendly. If you’re in Nepean, check this place out. Bonus? They’re open till 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday and midnight Monday to Thursday.
