I visited Ottawa about a half dozen times from 2010-2011. I had never even heard of shawarma before then. I tried Shawarma King (Rideau & Coburg) since it was close to where I was staying. Loved it. Ate there about 3 times. Never got around to trying any of the other places.

If you're ever in Austin, check out Tarbouch on Oltorf Street or Phoenecia Bakery on South Lamar Blvd (Lebanese market, bakery and shawarma).

I like the Palace but Maroush always goes special mention:

A while ago I discovered "Preston Shawarma" on Preston St. It's REALLY good.

Yes the are very good. I dominated a double meat Shawarma there the night before my buddy's wedding. We all felt (and smelled) terrible that morning.

Rejoice citizens of Ottawa!!! I was driving down Dalhousie today and noticed next to the Subway... more shawarma!! Now you can have shawarama on every half block of Dalhousie! Never again shall you walk more than 200 feet to have spit roasted chicken fat on a pita!! This market was so underserved, I am so grateful for this new addition to the eclectic and cosmopolitan Dalhousie Shawarma scene.
(edited for accuracy, I initially thought this was the Subway location, but it's actually the old Book Market)

Now if the shawarma operators in the City could join forces with Shoppers Drug Mart and their ability to flood the market with their stores, the domination would be complete.

I hadn't noticed all the shawarma places on Dalhousie...Rideau has quite a few and anywhere near bars or universities is a good bet for a location.

Rejoice further, as the Subway is in fact safe and sound located south of this new Shawarma shop, and visible on the left of the photo. Leaving Dalhousie with its critical TWO Subway shops.

Oops! I snapped as I was driving by and didn't even notice!! Praise the lord, our second Subway is safe!! Initial post edited for accuracy.

I am partial to Élyo Shawarma which has two locations on Gréber in Gatineau (near St-René and near Montée Paiement).

In my humble opinion the garlic sauce on potatoes - to die for!

The shop at York and Dalhousie is gone, but there are also many more on Rideau

It was in the base of what will be the hotel Claridge is building, so the building is being gutted.

That's the Dalhousie Shawarma DISTRICT to you.

I, for one, welcome our new shawarma overlords!

Maybe they can open up another Shoppers or Rexall downtown with a Shawarma place inside? Just saying.

Jamaican-Phoenix · #39 Posted **Sep 15, 2013, 3:39 PM**

We in Ottawa certainly seem to take things to the extreme, don't we? We go overboard when it comes to Shoppers Drugmart, Bridgehead, The Works, shawarma shacks, and Tim Horton's.
