I’ve been going to Osmo’s Shawarma Grill since the early 2000s, back when I’d head there after soccer matches in Streetsville, Mississauga (Always get extra garlic and extra tahini ). That’s when I first met Sam Osmo, the man who made every single sandwich with his own hands, seven days a week. Even back then, you could tell there was something special about his shawarma. It wasn’t just food—it was an experience.
What I didn’t know at the time was that Sam had studied his craft by tasting shawarmas all over Egypt, taking the best of what he learned and creating his own secret sauce. It’s that sauce, combined with his passion for perfection, that makes each bite a miracle.
Years later, I can confidently say no shawarma compares to Osmo’s. Sam’s dedication to quality and consistency has only grown with his well-deserved success. The flavors are so rich and well-balanced, they transport you straight to the streets of Cairo. It’s the kind of taste that stays with you, and you’ll find yourself craving it again and again.

When I finally got to taste the salad, I found it to be just okay. While the ingredients seemed fresh and the portion size was decent, the overall flavor didn't quite hit the mark for me. It felt like it was missing something to make it stand out--a bit more seasoning or a better balance of flavors in the sauces could have improved the dish.
While I appreciated the effort and convenience, I believe there's room for improvement in the taste and preparation...
Read moreI'm a Canadian from Ontario who's been eating at Osmows for 10 years. I also have friends and family whove worked at Osmows. I was soooo excited to finally have an Osmows open close to where i'm currently living in Florida. I even counted down to this day.
I am so sad to say that this was disappointing. The chicken looked raw, sitting in juices, not a crisp at all. It tasted very rubbery and we got so many cartilagous pieces in one order of Chicken on the Rox.
The Osmows I know and love has beautiful, tender, savory chicken (should look like the third photo i posted)
I understand this is opening day and the team worked really hard. But I hope that the quality of the chicken improves so that I can...
