Osmow’s Grill

I don’t know what their problem is at this location. I’ve been going to Osmows for years and I was cautiously optimistic when this location opened closer to my house. But after going here several times, I am fed up.
Let me just start by saying God help you if the weird ogrish looking guy with a beard and big bottom lip is making your sandwich. The guy with a tattoo on his hand. This guy consistently SUCKS at making the food. Never enough sauce in the sandwich, never grilled long enough. This guy is the very definition of hackjob trying to rush through his work. It’s gotten to the point where if this guy is working I don’t even bother. Older guy with short grey hair is way better at his job.
And WTF is with these guys and salad dressing! The way everything is consistently underdressed you’d think there was a crisis on Earth and all the salad dressing is running out.
Put some care into your food for Christ’s sake, the only location worse than this one is the new one at Steeles and Mavis

Osmows has been on the decline over the past year. My husband and I use to always go there at least twice a week and enjoy our food. But these days when we go our salad is dry, lots of large piece of slimy chicken and not a lot of sauce.

Had the chicken on rocks. Extra garlic, medium spicy. Maybe I was spoiled after having had lazeez first. I found Osmows version ok. The rice was on point, the chicken was tender but not bursting with flavour, the spicy sauce was hella spicy but there was something lacking about their garlic sauce. Right texture but the taste was just not there with the umpth factor. Lazeez def has the better version. I won’t eat here again unfortunately.

Chicken on the rocks, chicken in sticks and the shawarma all great options! Good service and great food

That chicken on the rocks be addicting as heck and working my way up to their extra hot sauce lines. If you like a challenge, then definitely try the suicide (actual suicide — unlike what most bars boast about their sauces). the shawarma is pretty great too, but I’m more of a rice person.

Love this place — always my go-​to.
I agree with a lot of reviewers that the chicken to rice ratio isn’t the best, but still delicious! No spice for me… That stuff is HOT!

Chicken was dry and rice was hard! osmos losing their touch! Happened to me twice now and I will not be giving it a third time to mess up my lunch.

Keeping my review short coz iv eaten at the same place in Brampton. I love Osmows in Brampton, it is delicious but the same thing can be said here. Now I can watch my movies while eating on a shawarma than a subway sandwich haha. Oh did I say it was delicious? =)

Quit simple the best Shawarma I’ve ever eaten. The place was jammed to capacity. The food was fresh & fast. There were no pleasantries or niceties with the staff. It’s all about getting the food out fast. I had the super size Chicken. It was fresh & the ingredients worked. End of story.

Had chicken on the rocks there… i order large portion and got a large but with a small portion and the food was cold… would prefer to go to the streetsville osmow’s it’s better in quality and serving size!

Osmow’s is located in the middle row of businesses right outside the Hurontario/​Courtney Park Cineplex (formally AMC).
This is a small place that seats around maybe 30 or so but the line for ordering can be sort of long and kind of disorganized depending on how many are in line the line really has no true form. Orders are all in to-​go styrofoam containers whether eat in or not it seems. The menu is pretty simple it’s Lebanese style shawarma with or without salad and/​or fries with rice for plates. You can have pitas and they also seem to have a version of Philly cheesesteaks available as well.
Today I went with two specials of the day which were chicken shawarma on rice with a side of salad. The containers were about ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ salad and chicken on rice.
Here you have to order how spicy you want it. I went with one mild for my wife and one medium for myself. I wont’ lie the medium was pretty spicy but I could handle the heat. My wife wouldn’t be able to eat medium but she was quite pleased with the mild. Both specials came out to just over 19 bucks after tax. Not a bad deal.
Portion wise considering it was a special it was decent. I could have had more and I did because I ate what my wife didn’t finish so I could try the mild as well as my medium. There’s definitely difference in spice level that makes me wonder if I could go higher than medium. If you don’t normally like spicy to the point of hot I’d recommend you stay away from medium and get mild or NONE for hot spice.
Perhaps next visit I’ll go with the chicken on the rocks which is basically what I had minus the salad (chicken on rice, garlic sauce and choose your level of hot).
The food is good, decent for the price, portions but I’ve had plates that were more filling at Villa Madina or the local place near my work. The next time I have a special I won’t get the chicken shawarma if it’s going to be that size because a container of being half salad while good isn’t what I was expecting to get.

Stepping into this place, it felt warm and cozy, with Egyptian themed art on the walls. At first I was confused, as the Egyptian theme does not resonate with me when I think of shwarma. Apparently, (if you were in the dark like I was) Google says that Shwarma originated from the Levant countries, which includes Egypt. Huh. Who knew. Learning moment of the day.
Anyway, I digress. Back to it…
The service was friendly and staff were accommodating, despite it being quite busy. However, I was charged a $ 1 surcharge for Amex use.
I ordered the chicken shwarma plate with Greek salad to-​go. I was disappointed that they did not have tabbouleh salad as a salad option. When I opened the bag, I was a bit surprised to note that there were two boxes inside, one was filled with chicken/​rice and the other was the salad.
The chicken was served over a huge bed of rice, poor rice to meat ratio. Furthermore, the meat was rather dry in some parts, and I found a few pieces of cartilage and one shard of bone. Eat with care. The white (garlic?) sauce struck me as odd too because it was slightly sweet where I expected it to be savory. The spicy sauce is quite hot, but a bit bland. Arguably, the Greek salad was the better part of the meal, but be aware that it is mostly comprised of lettuce.
It would have been better value for money if there was less rice, and perhaps some hummus and pita bread, or potato or some other side dish to balance it out.
Overall, I’d eat this for sustenance, but definitely a case of quantity over quality.

Came here to grab a bite before watching a movie. Low review rating a little bit my fault haha. So my friend and I got the chicken shawarma combo which was the deal of the day for under $ 10. Comes with the choice of a canned drink or water bottle and fries or rice so we got fries and a canned drink.
The reason why my experience was sort of ruined was because since I haven’t been here for a while I forgot how spicy the sauce was so I decided to get «hot» (which is just four lines of sauce) and my friend got «little hot». Usually I think I would be able to take hot but I guess not last night haha. It was so hot that I couldn’t enjoy my food and my friend felt the same way but she doesn’t like to have too much hot. But generally, the sauce exploded from the bottom of my wrap which wasn’t cool, thank goodness for the top of my fries box. Also when I couldn’t eat it anymore I had to deconstruct my wrap and figure that I should at least eat the chicken and to my surprise there wasn’t really that much in it. So I could only manage to eat about ²⁄₃ of it and I had to stop altogether because my lips were my red and swollen than as if I used that Fullips Lip Enhancer.
So I guess, be warned with the spice level and expect smaller portions of chicken!

Osmow’s is always consistent! Welcome to flavor town, highly recommended if you are ever in the area.

Decent shawarma in a pinch. The food is better at other locations of this chain, downtown seems the best to me. Perhaps with time they will find their groove. Clean place, service was fast.

The Chicken on the Rocks and on the Stix I’ve had before were a lot saucier. Normally my chicken and rice would be drenched in that saucy goodness but it was quite dry. They might of been having a bad day or a lack of sauce but Chicken on the Rocks is Chicken on the ROCKS!!! And when you order it you expect it to be ROCKING!!!

This places hands down the best Mediterranean I have had… Chicken on the rocks is outstanding just caution on the hot sauce!

Best shawarma place to eat in Mississauga
Friendly workers, good customer service, I highly recommend it to go there with family or friends, the place is usually busy but the good thing is you won’t be waiting Long.

I came here for lunch with a couple of colleagues today. We got here a few minutes before 12 and it’s a good thing we did because the line started growing steadily after 12. We were lucky that we didn’t have to wait in line and our food was ready quite quickly.
I tried the chicken shawarma pita with medium hot sauce. At first I thought the sauce was pretty mild, but the heat slowly grew. This is definitely a building heat. I would recommend trying out a medium unless you’re a hardcore spicehead. The pita was well put together and all the ingredients worked well together.
The staff was very efficient and the restaurant was clean. It got a bit loud once the line started snaking past our table (and we were seated toward the mid-​back of the restaurant), but by that time we were ready to leave anyway.
It was a very enjoyable lunch. I’ll definitely come here again and I’ll certainly know to avoid the lunch rush again.

Update on my original review. Food and Service is still the same. However the reason i lowered my rating is they raised their prices without notice. A shawarma wrap used to be around $ 4.5 now it’s over $ 6… This isn’t going to stop me from coming here, but this was the push i needed to try out the other places in this food plaza.
