Tirweka — Restaurant in Ottawa

My experience at the Middle Eastern restaurant "Tirweka" was truly delightful. Right from the moment I stepped in, the ambiance exuded a warm and welcoming atmosphere that was unmistakably authentic. The staff was exceptionally attentive and cordial, making sure my dining experience was comfortable and enjoyable. The star of the show, of course, was the food. The dishes were a celebration of Middle Eastern flavors, perfectly balanced and wonderfully presented. Each bite offered a unique taste of the region, transporting me on a culinary journey. The freshness of the ingredients and the skillful preparation was clearly evident in every dish. Tirweka isn't just a restaurant, it's an unforgettable gastronomic experience.

"Tirweka" showcased Middle Eastern cuisine at its finest, and this was evident in their exceptional dishes. Their hummus was a revelation - smooth, rich, and with a depth of flavor that was simply mesmerizing. The falafel had the perfect crisp exterior with a moist and flavorful inside, truly the best I've had. The fatteh was a delightful surprise, with the unique blend of textures and flavors making for a thoroughly enjoyable dish. The cheese and za'atar pie was a star in its own right. It was an exquisite balance of the creaminess of the cheese and the complex, tangy flavor of za'atar, encased in a perfectly baked pie. Every dish was a testament to their commitment to quality and authenticity. "Tirweka" sets the standard high for Middle Eastern cuisine, and it's an experience I highly recommend.

I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone who appreciates high-quality, flavorful food paired with superb service and a...

After all the great reviews and much community Facebook chatter, my wife and I finally got to go out to breakfast for the first time in a long time alone without kids and we chose to go here for our breakfast.

Today was a Thursday. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and very reasonable pricing, however must say we were somewhat disappointed with the quality of the food. We ordered the Terweka Tower (sound of the name makes you think this should be enough to feed a family), was disappointed with the serving size.

The Ka’ak was cold and stale. We also ordered Fatteh (needed a little touch of salt and lemon juice, still not bad, note that fatteh is my wife’s favourite dish).

We also ordered one cheese Manoosh (dough was thick and also stale and warm to the touch as if it was simply heated in a microwave).

And last, I am 6’2 and about 260 lbs, sitting on their chairs, I felt very unsafe because when I tried to move, I felt the legs of the chair was about to give out. noticed many of their chairs were the same design and I could definitely see potential safety issues with these.

I am sure we would go there again (some day). Overall I’ll stick to the 3 star. Great location. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Unique settings, decent food (at least from what we expected and from what we are used to in terms of Mediterranean breakfast, and all the hype) but I do see much room for improvement. Putting a little more emphasis simply on the baked breads and dough, would have boosted my review. I am not a very picky eater but must say this caught me by surprise.

Wishing the owners and staff all...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming Middle Eastern breakfast place, and I must say, it was an experience I won't soon forget!

The Tirweka team were incredibly attentive, ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their warm smiles and genuine hospitality made me feel truly welcome and at ease. It was evident that the entire team took great pride in their work, and their passion for serving delicious, authentic cuisine shone through in every aspect of the meal.

I loved The beautiful blend of modern and old design elements in the restaurant that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The attention to detail in the decor truly transported me to another world, making me feel as though I had stepped into a cozy, authentic Middle Eastern home.

Now, let's talk about the food! The menu offered a wide variety of mouth-watering Middle Eastern breakfast dishes, each one more tempting than the last. I decided to try the Falafel, Ful Medames, a delightful dish made with fava beans, olive oil, and a medley of fragrant spices, Traditional Arabic tea, and hummus as well as Fattet Hummus. The rich, hearty flavors were the perfect way to start my day.

In addition to the exceptional food and service, I was also impressed by the reasonable prices, making this hidden gem accessible to all. I can't recommend this Middle Eastern breakfast place highly enough. If you're looking for an unforgettable culinary experience that combines modern and traditional flavors, look no further. I can't wait to return and try even more of their...
