| - The only reason I visited Osmow's is because I had to meet a friend over at Lakeshore and Cawthra, it was close to dinner and I was starving.
They have a decent size parking lot at the side of the building, which was very convenient. As soon I walked in, it gave off this Middle Eastern "fast food" vibe so I knew right away not to expect too much. I ordered a regular size beef shawarma (wrap) at the counter. Unlike most shawarma restaurants, I was asked ahead of time (similar to a fast food chain) to choose the toppings. I also had to pay a surcharge because I used debit; I think it was around $7.50 so not that cheap.
Shawarma was ready pretty fast but, since I'm in Long Branch, I just chose to wait and eat it once I got home. As Dave S. (reviewer below) indicated, it was soggy due to an overly excessive amount of salty sauce. The meat to topping ratio was 50/50; meat had no flavour; toppings were low quality; and, without asking, they put some kind of mushy and nasty cabbage in it. Plus, near the end, I got a really fatty piece of meat that I had to spit out.
Although the shawarma was bad, it wasn't what I would call uneatable so that's why I'll give it a rating of 1.5 stars. This is obviously my first and last visit to Osmow's.
