Osmow's Shawarma — Restaurant in Greater Sudbury

UPDATE: they made right on this topic now, Changed the rating to 5* to reflect the good people and true food quality

the owner recognized me, and spoke to me and acknowledged what I wrote, in my opinion without the topping charge, I’d be there everyday without a doubt. Hope they reconsider, as they may actually gain business and increase profits through volume if they reversed it.

Funny thing is when I don’t get charged the fee for all the toppings I usually put the difference in as a tip.

So the total price is the same but with one I’m happy the other I’m a little off put.

Anyways great place to eat, if you haven’t tried it there “on the rocks” is the best for me.

One of my favourite places to eat. But unfortunately, it’s going downhill. It first started with my same meal I’d order daily fluctuating in price by about 7-8$ (sometimes they’d charge 75 cents for some flakes of parsley, and another 75 cents for 3 olives cut into tiny slices, and what adds up to be one tomato slice for another 75 cents.

I stopped eating there daily as it was kind of insulting that they would do that to a regular customer, (change the price that is, and charge extras when sometimes they don’t)

Sadly, now, it’s 85 cents per topping, so your one slice of paper thin basically see through tomato is almost a dollar, those parsley flakes you see in my picture, basically the equivalent of sprinkling a free pepper packet on your meal, another 85 cents.

The portions vary extremely sometimes it’s half full, sometimes it’s actually full.

I still tip money ontop of my meal to see if it changes anything, they don’t even notice, and they still cheap you out. Once I Even put a 10$ tip, just to see, ironically I got the least amount of food. So they’re money hungry, their prices aren’t justifiable even though like I said I love their food, it tastes great.

Such a shame to go into a place as a daily regular and slowly fade away, and choose other places to go eat simply on the premise that they don’t remain consistent, and clearly gouge.

Went there tonight paid 25$ for a lamb on the rocks. Go see the picture. It’s sad. Coming from a person who loves this as my favourite food, the gouging isn’t...

Was really looking forward to this place as there are not a lot of Halal options available in Sudbury. Upon looking at the menu, and speaking with the service, I was expecting a pretty solid meal. However, osmows is a Shawarma Place that doesn’t know how to wrap, or make a Shawarma. I would not recommend their wraps even if it was the last shawarma spot in Ontario. The wrap fell apart literally a bite in, not to mention, it was barely held together by the single crinkly wax wrap attempting to keep it conjoined. Furthermore, the whole thing was soggy from top to bottom. In regards to the taste, there was so much sauce, that I couldn’t even distinguish the different toppings by flavour or texture. In regards to cleanliness, all the tables were dirty besides the one my wife and I sat on, and the bathroom seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned for over a month.The the only thing that kept me from giving this place a 1 star are the fries, the bowl that my wife ordered, and the staff that was all very nice and helpful.

In conclusion, I will not be coming to Osmows again anytime in the near future, and I would not recommend anybody else to go there to eat unless it was a last option, and you were drunk or high (which would be interesting if you were going there for the...

What a joke this place is!! They trying to do like Starbucks and take peoples name but it’s still silly brand, I got what they call oz box for flafel that costed 17$ lol, 17$ for just flafel, I didn’t want garlic sauce and wanted hummus instead and they still charged me extra money for the hummus, I also wanted one pita bread on the side, they charge one dollar for it, dude the 5 pitas are 2 dollars all, my colleague ordered beef kofta and they microwaved the kofta first before cooking it, to make it faster, who does such a thing, microwaving food before cooking it, so over priced and quality is just garbage like any other Osmow’s, I regret every time I pay money in such a store. These Osmow’s places are so ridiculous, only caring about money, and customer satisfaction goes to hell. Sadly there is no good place to compete with Osmow’s place and take him down. Lesson...
