Not a lot to cover here as I'm sure most of us has now had a Shawarma or two in our lives.
Osmow's, I believe is a new chain and purveyor of mid-east food. This franchise is located the large Loblaws mall located on Bayview, north of Hwy7. Parking is not too difficult in this large mall that has many quick-serves such as Pizza Pizza, Tim Hortons, Baskin Robbins and Stabucks.
I wanted something fast and not the usual burgs/za stuff. Found myself here and after seeing a few locations about town and ignoring all the negative reviews, I went in.
The place has a small seating location as you walk in. The counter was cluttered with pre-opened paper bags and three young staffs.
I ordered their small chicken shawarma wrap. I was recommended the large - is it better margins or are you implying that I have a "large" appetite...hmmm...? I didn't want to go all in with the meal. Especially since the food prep area was not clean and the clothing that the guy and two gals were wearing was covered in residue of some sort. It's an open kitchen, you really need to up the cleanliness game - or do what Tasty's does and close off the kitchen. What I don't know might still kill me but I won't Yelp about it!
Lots of toppings were offered, I chose what I liked, paid my less than $10 bucks and off I went back to the condo to try the fare. Nothing spectacular. The spices on the chicken were pretty good, the veggies and dressing was adequate and the meal was done in short order. The small wrap was more than sufficient for a simple meal.
At 2.5 stars, it's a take it or leave it affair. I would probably go back to Tasty's or an overpriced Me-Va-Me.
Cheers.
