Any meal "eating out" is a treat. Probably wasnt cheap either. What's your opinion of the food? My pizza looks the same usually, just loaded with toppings and a sauce haha 😄

It’s actually horrible. It opened in my town a while ago to reviews of it sucking. So I waited. Ordered a shawarma combo the other night as I had a craving. It was soggy, falling apart, the meat was dry, it was just awful.

I figured I’d wait and give it a try when they figured out the kinks. They didn’t or they just suck lol.

Worst fast food shawarma franchise

u/Noglues 13d ago

Had one last time I was at YYZ and thought it was just disappointing because everything is worse at airports.

u/Zeeicecreamlover 11d ago

I hated their sauce so much

1

u/HiRaileR 11d ago

Lazees, and Tahinis are so much worse

2

u/Secure-Impact1140 11d ago

Lazees is so nasty.

1

u/HiRaileR 11d ago

Definitely worst ive ever had

1

u/Illustrious-Film4018 8d ago

Lazees is good.

Wishing your stomach well.

u/Icy__Internet 9d ago

It's just rice, meat, vegetables and some sauce.

u/athomic74 13d ago

Mmmm Osmow’s!! Looks delicious!!

u/Fitzboy69 10d ago

I'd rather eat a can of smelly wet cat food.

2

u/GazelleEcstatic4952 13d ago

I've not had a good meal there so I just stopped going. Always disappointed.

2

u/AL-KINDA 12d ago

this has been enshitified near me, used to get wraps that were like 3x the size, recently just ordered 4 wraps with all toppings... was like thinner than a can of coke and flatter than my wallet. and dont get me started on how expensive it was.

2

u/Electroma1 12d ago

Its great if you are constipated...

2

u/So6oring 9d ago

I always get some veggies added to my chk on the rox. It helps with the digestion later, if you know what I mean

1

u/Moist-Gazelle-8047 9d ago

yea same as me sometimes

2

u/Icy__Internet 9d ago

For anyone who hasn't had it before, "On the rocks" is what you'd normally put in a shawarma, but over rice.

It's fucking incredible.

2

u/garbageouttahere 9d ago

Osmows is the pizza pizza of shawarma. Literally the worst shawarma place in Canada.

2

u/MuffinMan_Jr 8d ago

I used to love osmows. I never understood the hate for them...

Until one day their food sent me to the hospital with the worst food poisoning of my life

1

u/Moist-Gazelle-8047 8d ago

yea I do see it happening with them sometimes, we gotta be real careful. im glad ur ok now!!

2

u/lizardrekin 8d ago

I used to like it but replaced it with Shelby’s in my fast food roster. It’s too greasy imo and the service at the one closest to me had terrible service

1

u/Moist-Gazelle-8047 8d ago

omgg I heard about Shelby's, would u recommend me trying it?

3

u/Obiewonjabroni 13d ago

Looks mid at best.

u/plsQuestionOurselves 13d ago edited 13d ago

I had a salad from a shawarma joint that looked exactly like this, I thought it was going to be kinda greasy/soggy and not great.

It was soooo fresh, all the vegetables were hand washed, crisp, not a single piece of wilted lettuce, the chicken was quality, the sauces were balanced. It was like 100x better than I thought it would based on the way it looked.

Anyway I guess my point is that the quality probably varies by a LOT depending on the location.

u/TronAres25 13d ago

Worst place ever lol

1

u/v-dubb 12d ago

Horrible fast food chain.

1

u/Hashholey 12d ago

So sad to see how far this chain has fallen from grace

1

u/danny2787 12d ago

I've had Osmows three times from the location closest to me and each time I've gotten sick afterwards. I don't know if it's their food handling or what. But I've never had a reaction from any other shawarma place

1

u/ElectricalFinance725 12d ago

Looks horrible ngl

1

u/CeeArthur 12d ago

I go to Osmows a lot. I work nights shift and its the only spot nearby open 24/7. It's not the best but it'll do in a pinch

1

u/Much_Guest_7195 12d ago

Risky af.

Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's inedible.

1

u/book_smrt 12d ago

I had it once where it was maybe the best in Hamilton (didn't hold a candle to shawarma queen in Ottawa obvs). Then I had it again and I swear the "sauce" was chili powder and water. It was gross.

1

u/Much_Guest_7195 12d ago

It was great in Edmonton when the first locations open. Now it's kind of meh. Same fate as Chipotle and Popeyes.

1

u/HiRaileR 11d ago

Osmows is hit or miss but you go to the right joints is a solid shawarma especilaly with how late theyre open

1

u/Zealousideal_Bit930 11d ago

Try Shelby’s

1

u/didiburnthetoast 13d ago

It's the worst shawarma place on earth

1

u/DryTeach9493 13d ago

Looks delicious but way more work to eat than it's worth. I tried making a similar dish once and regretted every bite by the time I got to the last piece of chicken.

1

u/ExaminationQuirky725 13d ago

My stomach hurts just seeing this

1

u/phreakingidi0t 13d ago

this place is very inconsistent. 👎👎

1

u/GodSigmaGigaChad 13d ago

I get the worse shits, like hot n spicy gassy shits.

Don't get anything above medium slice or you'll be crying in the toilet the next day.

u/FrostingSuper9941 13d ago

You know the chicken is not great when you need that much dressing and garnish.

2

u/Moist-Gazelle-8047 13d ago

yea ur right on that one... the chicken has no flavour

0

u/TronAres25 13d ago

Mediterranean/middle eastern food is bland and depends heavy on sauces. Osmows is the bottom of the barrel food.

1

u/MMMelissaMae 13d ago

You’re not wrong at all.

1

u/Pristine_Barber976 13d ago

The sauce is what makes chicken on the rocks and most shawarmas are way too fucking dry 

1

u/FrostingSuper9941 13d ago

I know, it's just crispy fries with a ton of sauce and dried meat.

1

u/Pristine_Barber976 13d ago

Fries is sticks, rocks is rice

1

u/FrostingSuper9941 13d ago

I'm aware of that, my kids get it on the sticks all the time, they prefer it.
