A little about this place
About Taza Xpress Oakville
Taza Xpress is a shawarma counter in The Abbey Centre plaza on North Service Road West in west Oakville, one of several locations in a small regional group. Chicken shawarma is the mainstay - wrapped, on a platter with rice and salad, or as the 'On The Rocks' build - on a short menu aimed at lunch and dinner trade.
Google's structured listing carries dine-in, takeout and delivery, healthy options and small plates, reservations, a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking lot and washroom, and free lot and street parking. Portions are large for the price and the staff are notably welcoming. At only 143 ratings the weak spots are visible in the histogram: 15 one-star ratings against 116 five-star. Orders routed through delivery apps go wrong or arrive incomplete, and counter service can be slow or inattentive even when the room is quiet.
Rated 4.5 on Google from 143 ratings.
