Osmow’s

Good food, but used to be better when it was made by Osmow himself. Lineups are still a problem though.

I’ve been to multiple Osmows locations and I would say this is one of the better locations. It certainly looked cleaner than most.
On a busy Friday at lunch, the line was a solid 8 people deep. But service was quick, food was delicious and fresh. The cashier was curt but efficient and realized quickly when my order was taking a while. She reminded the cooks I was still waiting, which was great multitasking on her part.
Like the other Osmows locations, I found the food handlers could be better equipped to service the general public. I suggest hair nets and gloves would be a welcome addition to the uniform. If they’re wearing the uniform at all.
Bottom line is, I’m very happy to see that Osmows has quickly become a GTA staple, but I urge the franchise owners to not lose sight of some basic standards.

This is a local staple — I must devour one a month — but the place is getting way too busy these days — don’t come on Fridays from 6−8pm! it will take about 20 or so minutes if you do
great chicken shwarmas, one of the best
even chicken on the rocks (over rice with their special seasoning and sauce) always rock!

If anyone had been to this location im sure you were probably a bit discouraged when seeing the line. Well in my eyes when there is a super huge line this has to mean that Osmow’s is doing something right… and that they are. I have never seen a team on employees work so fast to ensure the line moves quickly. So although the line seems huge it actually moves very fast. The food is super fresh and very tasty. All around great food and great service.

The food is OK and the service is OK. The taste of the chicken is never consistent and for the odd time you may get a bone in your food. The portions are definitely worth it for the price you pay.

I regularly eat my chicken shawarma’ sat Pita & Grill in Mississauga on Dixie and Eglington, but was to far, and reading the reviews on Unilocal,decided to find something closer to home.
This restaurant got great reviews, so I made the trek. I was not disappointed as the line was heading out the door; and there were 2 sizes the regular it the super. I ordered the super chicken shawarma and it was beautiful, but was little light on the chicken, but Taste was still there.
I will definitely go again, but will try the Philly cheese steak shawarma as this was well ordered item in the line up. I would have gave it the full 5 stars, but the 5 or 6 tables were all dirty. Not one was clean; even though there were literally 7 people working the grill.

This place is a hit or miss most of the time. I think their food is nothing special but what makes it addicting for me (and for other people from what I’ve seen) is the garlic sauce. Their garlic sauce is so scrumptious. I’ve had Mediterranean food and none of the garlic food I’ve had then compares to their garlic sauce. I never order anything there without a side of extra garlic sauce on top of what they already give you. Their hit is chicken on the rocks or their shawarma which are both good. The food is pretty cheap for the amount they give you. I’ve had times where they gave me rice that was too hard (the ones you get from the very bottom of the pot which shouldn’t be served in my opinion)), times where they gave me chicken with bones still in it, times where they effed up my order and put hot sauce on my food when I specifically told them not to, and times where they put hot peppers on my boyfriend’s shawarma and he’s like deathly allergic to it. So in the end, it’s really their customer service I have a problem with. People there just really don’t listen enough. They mess up a lot of the orders. Also they charge you for literally everything there. Extra garlic sauce, hot sauce on the side, bag that you didn’t ask for. Like seriously how hard it is for them to ask if I wanted a bag or not rather than hiding the extra fee? The line up in that place is ridiculous too. The wait can take as long as an hour. And they can’t handle very busy days. They get embarrassingly disorganized.

Been to many shawarma places, this place offers excellent prices, great quality food/​ingredients, and simply the Best shawarma in the city of Brampton!

When it comes to shawarma… i think that Osmow’s has it down. One of the things that I base a lot of middle eastern or Mediterranean cuisine is on a few choice dishes that are common to each. In my case, its «Chicken on Rocks» or chicken shawarma on a bed of rice or fries with garlic sauce and hot sauce.
When it comes to this particular dish… Osmow’s is my baseline. You can’t beat the price of $ 7.99 for such a filling and tasty dish.
This location is my go to for when I get a shawarma hankering. Located near the Chrysler Plant in Brampton in an industrial strip mall, this place is always busy from lunch to late night. I have been to a couple of Osmow’s locations (8 in total) and the majority of them look all the same. There is limited seating and the order counter takes up most of the restaurant, but they can move a line of people pretty fast here. The smell of the shawarma cooking on the flat top, after being carved from the rotisserie permeates the restaurant. Everything here is homemade. I would warn you, if you like hot sauce… this place makes their own. and its eye bleeding hot. If you like a little spice. make sure you get. a little spice level. not mild.
The portion size of the «Chicken on Rocks» is huge and the garlic sauce that smothers it is creamy and oh so tasty. They also add a bit of paprika to the top for flavor and then your level of hot sauce. I have yet to try some of the other dishes but if my usual order is indicative of the other dishes. then I am sure it is all really good.
Looking for a filling and flavorful lunch, dinner or late night munchies… grab Osmow’s…you will be full and your hunger fufilled…5 stars

They put more effort into their service/​food quality when it’s NOT busy… which is never. The lady who works cash needs to watch her attitude when people ask legitimate questions about the menu, too. As far as food, the chicken on the rox is proper with a reasonable amount of sauce and well-​seasoned. Only been here once and that was it for me. Mississauga location is 10x better.

After our TD Tree Plant Day event in Brampton, our entourage of coworkers were feeling for something Mediterranean. Luckily for one of our buddies, they recommended that we come here. In the busy plaza right across from the Chrysler factory, in a busy plaza is Osmow’s. Serving your classic beef/​chicken shawarmas and salads to classic plates filled with their homemade rice and frites!
The ambiance is busy during peak lunch hours, and one thing’s for sure, Osmow’s doesn’t make you wait long for your order. The place is busy, clean, lots of seating with the friendly lady who was helping us. TIP, when you saw chicken on the ‘ROCKS’ its on RICE… not ice lol… like a whisky on the rocks type of thing lol… «STICKS» are fries… or FRITES… if you’re French lol…
I decided to order their CHicken on the ROCKS and RICE… and upon choosing their sauces, it ranges from non spicy, mild, spicy, really spicy, or suicide spice… I opted for SPICY and go «the look» as if they were wishing me good luck. The price was reasonable approx $ 12 but the portions were massive, that I with a big appetite had to take some of it home.
overall the place is great, the staff are friendly! if I am ever in the area, I’ll be sure to stop by… i think ill try their Mild as spicy was quite spicy. lol.

I dont really know how to rate this place. I usually get the ‘chicken on the rocks’, which by itself is good. The portion size is satisfying for the price you pay. I would rate it higher if it weren’t for the customer service. I go to the location at Chrysler Drive in Brampton and they’re very inconsistent. I usually get a younger lady (early 20’s) and someone who I’m guessing is her mum. I usually get the spice on the side and I would sometimes get charged for it and sometimes I get it for free. It seems like they would randomly charge you stuff without you knowing unless you purposely check your receipt, which I’ve now started doing. Other than that, food’s okay, not sure about all the hype though.

Was OK. Restaurant was pretty busy, and they were very fast at putting out the orders. Had a super sized spicy chicken shawarma, was huge and very generous on portions from the dinner plates that everyone else around me was ordering. Hummus was excellent as well. I love spicy food but it overpowered the chicken. Every bite was banana peppers, sauce and pickles and I couldn’t taste any chicken.
Was pretty noisy place and kind of expected that with all the people coming and going. However had 20 minutes of the cook loudly hacking at shawarma meat on the flat top with a metal spatula nonstop the whole time we were there. Left a little early to escape the noise.

The food is soooo good!
Large portions and I got the chicken shawarma plate… with hot sauce, they ain’t playing with their hot sauce levels lol. I got hot and it’s pretty spicy and I have a high tolerance for spicy food.
It was Monday night and this place was busy! The wait time wasn’t too bad either especially with the number of people in line.
If you want good shawarma, this is the hot spot to go. I like the Brampton location the most so far.

Every experience is the same. The same great attitude and enthusiasm is there, the quick service, very affordable, and the food is amazing! Absolutely love their chicken on the rocks! If I want Mediterranean food, osmows is my first choice, second, and basically my only choice.

Kinda slow on service but food is delicious. Even if you order before pick up they don’t prepare the food until you arrive. Do get the chicken shwarma dinner! You can get a dinner size and they give you lots of salad which is delicious. It is amazing! They pack the salad full of feta and olives too! Very delicious quality! Always busy, don’t go if you are in a rush! Also, the «special sauce» is mayo in a bottle, well at least I saw the worker filling the bottle from a larger mayo container. Use lightly!

Shawarmas are great here if they ever get made right.
I’ve been here about 8 – 10 times and the last 4 times they have messed up my order.
I always get a chicken shawarma and ask for fries, onions and tomatoes in the wrap. Sometimes they miss the onions or they add lettuce in it and I won’t complain; HOWEVER, this time I order a chicken shawarma and there was no CHICKEN in it!!!
How do forget the chicken in a chicken shawarma?!
I know I’m the idiot who comes back here but there is no other good shawarma spot in Brampton.
The were kind in making a new one but seriously come on.
Nice staff that make great shawarmas, but they need to listen to their customer’s.
Go to the Osmows in Mississauga!

Best Shawarma place! I came from Dubai and eating here brings back memories!

Shawarma’s are always good for a quick lunch or a meal. Osmow’s does the Shawarma justice. You can order them normal, mild, spicy or burning hot and its actually pretty spicy. Typically this has the Shawarma on rice and then with salad and all. Its a good place if you are looking for a protein packed meal because they have that special order. If you are around the area to recycle your stuff at the Recycling Center stop here for a bite. Its right next to it and fulfilling after all that hard work.
Staff is friendly, place is clean and they have regular deals.

Went over on a reference.
Pro: an 8″ shawarma is a fantastic size. Great taste. Meat was well done. Fresh veggies. Quite tasty. The staff is friendly. Clean, quiet ambience.
Not so pros: I’d asked for it to be made spicy hot. The sauce that was in the shawarma had too much turmeric base flavouring in it or so it seems. My companion was coughing after a few bites. Wasn’t spicy in the least. Not a nice feel. I didn’t get any option to get white meat only as was referred by another reviewer. Lastly the bathroom while appearing clean, was stinking. Needs a good bloody through clean.
