Osmow’s Grill

The food is good and freshly prepared. I think it is a little on the $$$ side compared to some other places. I usually order chicken on the rocks or chicken on sticks. I would prefer if you could get a little more sauce on the food rather than paying extra.
The place is clean. However, try to avoid the rush at 12:00 pm and the evening around 6:00 pm.

One of the best local spots in Mississauga.
Always comes clutch when you looking for some dank munchies.

I use to go here when Osmow himself use to makes Schwarmas himself. The place use to be dead and use to be literally my favorite place to go. He took the time and effort making the perfect Schwarma. Now its just garbage! It’s just full of sauces and really cheap meat. Also the customer service sucks as well.

Great service and the taste is amazing!
I’m impressed how the service is still outstanding despite being busy all the time (and I never get a chance to sit down because it is busy).
I am not a huge fan of a lot of sauce on my chicken on the rocks (even though it’s delicious) so I always take it home right after and add more rice to it or transfer the sauce on the salads at home.

This is the best shawarma place in Mississauga, and also the best Osmows of the franchises. It always busy, but the wait is worth it. The food is always good and satisfying. The chicken shawarma is my favorite. I like their filafil too, although I have had better in the city. But the sauce they put in their wraps is heavenly. It does drip and is messy, but oh so delicious.

This is definitely the best shwarma place I have been to. I definitely would recommend it to anyone. Chicken on the rocks taste delicious.

I can’t complain about this place. Yes I agree that it is not an authentic tasting shawarma and not the best tasting either, but it doesn’t taste bad. Ingredients are always fresh because of their extreme sales and I’ve never ever been not satisfied about the meat quantity in any of their items. Plus they have had the same prices for the past 6 years.

When people rave about a Shawarma place, I always am sceptical because for one, I grew up in the Middle East, the land of the shawarma and Mozys Shawarma in Waterloo is hard to trump. Regardless, I had a to give Osmows a try.
It’s located right in the middle of Streetsville, so parking can be a challenge to find at times. As soon as you walk in, you know the place isn’t designed for you to sit down and eat. The largest table is for 4 and there’s very limited space. So sitting there and eating is usually not an option. There is a line up almost at all times so you’ll have to be a little patient.
I ended up getting the chicken shawarma plate on rice with a fatoush salad. Since eating at the place wasn’t an option, I decided to take it to my car. The fatoush salad was great and it was really flavourful. If you’re going for lunch and have work after, beware because there are a lot of onions in the salad. The salad comes in separate box so it’s filling. As soon as you open the box for the meat and rice, you will see a carpet of sauce on top. I understand that sauce makes things taste flavourful but this is just bit too much (as seen in picture). It’s almost like they are using the sauce to mask the flavour of the rice and chicken. Definitely not on the healthier side either. I’ve had shawarma plate growing up and it’s uncommon to cover your rice and chicken in so much sauce that it’s almost soupy.
The service was great and I was able to place my order with nor problems at all. The staff were nice and quick with everything. It’s definitely a place I’d only try out once in a blue moon just because of the amount of sauce they have on their meals.

I use Unilocal rarely, but I thought it had to be known that the service here is atrocious. Not once but many times. Every single time I have come here it is a 20min+ wait, which most times I don’t mind because the food is good. But this particular visit was beyond terrible, in fact I waited 30 min and still had not received my food, so I left without my food even though I had paid about $ 8.00. There was only 1 cook and 1 cashier on a Saturday afternoon, which is understandable maybe someone called in sick or something, but the way the cook was acting was very very unprofessional, turning up the music loud enough that the cashier could not hear the customer orders, yelling at customers that we’re getting frustrated with their long wait times, singing along to the music and walking to the back multiple times to drink an orange juice. Very very disappointed.

Horrible service and this place isn’t what it used to be. Came here on a Tuesday night right before closing time. We waited in line for 20 minutes, we finally get to the front and was denied service due to closing. First of all, if you want to close down your place then lock the doors, there was a lot of customers still coming in.
Second to avoid disapointing your customers you need to let them know that you’re closing when they first come in. Making them wait 20 mins then saying its the last order when the store isn’t even close yet isnt fair. There was still a long line-​up behind us. They close at 11pm. When we got to the resto it was about 10:40. When we got to the front of the line it was 10:59 exactly. During that time they should take a second to lock the doors and serve the remaining people who got there before closing. It’s common courtesy
The boyfriend spoke up and they served us and the people behind us. Another problem is the people behind us got their order first… what the… Second, we ordered the chicken on the rocks x2 half fries half rice. And they only put fries on the first order but it wasn’t enough fries and they couldve easily moved the fries and gave us rice in there. Third, their fries was super soggy… yup won’t be coming back here.
Lazeez is the clear winner here in terms of chicken on the rocks. Even their white sauce wasnt as good as lazeez.

If there was a way to put negative stars, I would. Let me start with the pros. the sauce. That sauce is amazing! However, the staff do not wear gloves, the workers nail polish was chipping into the food, the wait for a chicken shawarma on the rocks was 20 minutes and there were 3 ingredients. Health and safety would shut this place down, trust me. There was rice all over the counter which went back into the food.
The customer service was awful unless you were one of the people (staff) chatting around the grill instead of cooking and plating the food.
There were about 25 angry people waiting for food while the staff were chatting and honestly, if it wasn’t for the sauce, I don’t think any of us would have been there.

Recently went back here — this place is atrocious when it comes to service. I had a chicken on the rocks here and the rice was so overcooked it’s unbelievable they would consider serving it.
The quantity of rice and chicken has gone down. The ratio on rice-​to-​chicken/​sauce has gone up a lot, which is not a good thing. At least their hot sauce hasn’t changed…
I regret spending my $ 10.00 here, I should have gone to La Zeez instead. I wish I could get the old osmows chicken on the rocks back.

Undoubtedly the most popular shawarma joint in the city. There are a variety of locations but I feel like this one is the busiest. There will regularly be a line that crowds this narrow Streetsville unit.
I personally don’t find it to be very special and prefer many other shawarma joints to it, including Pita Nutso which is just a few units down and much quieter. My favourite is the Osmow’s special which is a typical chicken shawarma with pineapples. They have a super size, which I feel is overkill, as the regular sized pita is already large to begin with.
Customers frequently order the chicken on the rocks as well, which is just shawarma topped with garlic/​hot sauce on rice. It’s delicious in small portions, but I feel like it’s just too much for me.
I’ve ordered the falafel side order one time and the falafels were quite dry, so I’d stick to the core offerings here.

Nothing beats the taste of osmos chicken shawarma. Make sure you have time because this place is always packed. Also the dine in section isn’t too clean but whatever. Take it to go and eat your amazing shawarma

I am glad to see that my experience echoes that of others on here. The shawarma itself is not bad, but it certainly is not far and away the best in Mississauga. Pita and Grill, for example, is far better.
The service is nothing short of deplorable. I went in when there was no one else in line, the guys behind the counter mutter racists remarks and speak in arabic whilst ignoring me. After a minute, I swallow my pride and ask if i can orser and the guy looks at me and says to me, «waiting on you.»
PLEASE – if you are debating on going elsewhere – do so. There are dozens of shawarma places across Mississauga and Brampton with owners who appreciate their customers’ business.

Dont come here anymore. When I first tried this place 6 – 7 years ago the chicken on the rocks was AMAZING And I always craved it. Fast forward to the recent year, i gave it 3 chances (cause maybe they just had an off day). Nope, the portions are now smaller, the quality of chicken has drastically fallen. I even gave the downtown Osmows a chance.
Nice staff though.
Heres a direct quote from my gf speaking on chicken on the rocks. «this is literally what they serve to people in prisons»

It was a sad day for me visiting Osmows.
After not going for close to a year; I was very excited to have some delicious Mediterranean Cuisine (Chicken on the rocks to be exact).
Upon entering I noticed that most of the old staff has been replaced with newer unfamiliar faces which is okay.
Ordering went very smooth and I got my food relatively fast which was a surprise as I had a huge queue before me.
When I received my food I noticed a very bad smell coming from the rice and I also think one of the sauces had gone bad as well because rice alone cannot smell that bad. Trying to ignore the stench, I took my first bite and boy was it bad. Without trying to sound «typical» it was probably the worst Chicken on the rocks I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t even feed what I had to my worst enemy!
Needless to say I threw out a majority of the dish and went to the other Shawarma place down the road and had a much better meal.

Updating the review. This place is gross. It really is a by or miss. There garbage laying around close to the food, and last time I got the chicken on the rocks the chicken tasted 2 weeks old because I’m pretty sure they mix the old
Chicken with the newer chicken on the flat top. It has declined majorly in the past 2 – 3 years. I rather go to other newer locations.

This review is for the Downtown Toronto location. I don’t see it on Unilocal…
I followed people’s recommendations and order the Chicken on the Rocks, thinking it is like the Halal Guys’ chicken rice… NOPE. Big nope. So disappointed. The rice is normal I guess, but if you’ve had the Halal Guys’ chicken rice, you would know it’s different. The chicken was meh, almost bland, not that I would know since they put so much sauce on top…
Anyways, chicken rice craving NOT satisfied. Please message me if you know places in GTA that can rival Halal Guys.

So I went there last night for the first time after hearing about it from a friend. At first I got really excited to see such a huge line. I knew if it were so many people there, it must be out of the world. Believe me, it took me 55 minutes to get my order from the minute I placed the order. I did not see any sense of urgency amongst the staff. They were nice but there was literally one girl dispatching orders. I mean with so many orders, how can you have one person pushing out the orders.
I suggest you all go to lazeez on credit view road. They are much quicker and equally good. No difference at all. They are super fast in pushing out the orders.
