A little about this place
About ohSHAWARMA
ohSHAWARMA is a family-run Courtice restaurant serving Middle Eastern street food, including beef and chicken shawarma wraps and dinner plates, gyro, falafel, fattoush, lentil soup, baklava and shawarma-topped ohFRIES. Expect counter ordering, a casual quiet dining room, takeout and online ordering. Reviewers most often praise flavour, fresh crunchy falafel, generous portions, value and friendly service. The lowest-rated sample shows recurring cautions about skimpy meat or shrinking portions, rude or impatient service, missing order components and arriving during posted hours to find the door inaccessible; one otherwise positive reviewer also found a mixed plate somewhat oily.
Google Maps lists a washroom and wheelchair-accessible washroom, entrance and seating. It also lists an accessible free parking lot, free street parking and plenty of spaces. No recurring washroom-cleanliness theme appeared in the sampled reviews, and HFP has not inspected the facilities. The exact branch identity is confirmed by name, street address, phone, website and menu, but Google Maps and the current official website publish conflicting postal codes.
