What Our Guests Say
“JJ's has the best chicken shawarma in Ottawa, period. The garlic sauce is creamy and perfectly garlicky, the chicken is always juicy and well-seasoned, and the wraps are massive. We drive from Kanata just for this place.”
“Ordered the mixed shawarma platter for a family dinner and it was incredible. Generous portions of chicken and beef, fresh tabbouleh, hummus, and warm pita. Everything tasted homemade. The kids devoured the falafel.”
“This is my go-to lunch spot. The chicken shawarma wrap with extra garlic sauce and pickled turnips is unbeatable for the price. Fast service, friendly staff, and consistently great food every single time.”
“Great food and really generous portions. The falafel wrap was crispy on the outside and perfectly seasoned inside. Only giving 4 stars because parking can be tricky during the lunch rush, but the food is easily 5 stars.”
“Tried the shawarma poutine on a friend's recommendation and it blew my mind. Crispy fries loaded with tender chicken shawarma, cheese curds, and that famous garlic sauce. This is next-level comfort food.”
“Love that everything is halal here. My family feels comfortable eating at JJ's knowing the meat is properly sourced. The chicken is always fresh, never dry, and the garlic sauce recipe is clearly a well-kept secret. We order at least twice a week.”
