  • Used to visit this location frequently. It was the best shawarma in town. Let me tell you about what made Osmows so famous - their meat is usually marinated with a special sauce that makes the entire platter aromatic and causes you to drool instantly. They (specifically this Courtney Park location) were also very generous with the amount of chicken, lamb or beef that one ordered. They'd usually pile the meat onto any platter or wrap. My colleague and I got a slightly different perspective this late Friday afternoon when we visited Osmows. He ordered the chicken on the rocks and I, the chicken shawarma wrap and the daily special platter (chicken, rice and salad) to go. After he cracked opened his chicken on the rocks platter (usually packed to the brim and overflowing with shredded chicken in a styrofoam box) there was a very thin layer of chicken (the first thing he said was "wow they've gotten stingy!") and a thick bed of rice underneath. When I cracked my chicken shawarma sandwich open and took the first bite - I immediately tasted something off- the usual Osmows taste was missing - no aroma, no intense flavour - just a bland ho humm, dry, run of the mill sandwich with yellowed, stale pieces of lettuce. By the time I got to the third bite my sandwich tasted dry and simply boring, while my colleague reluctantly finished his 'rice on the rocks.' After getting home and cracking open the daily special, I encountered the same issue, a thin layer of chicken and a thick bed of rice. We deduced that this Osmows location might have changed management and were cutting costs (not sure why considering the business owner seems to be opening locations all over Toronto with a new one now opening in Guelph) by skimping on the essential part of a shawarma platter...the meat! - we didn't recognize the team that usually works there (usually a couple of burly guys) - they were replaced with new workers (seemed like a family). We won't be returning to this franchise - this specific location was the place to go, their other locations (and they have many...) specifically the Dixie location was mediocre, and cheap on the servings and never hit the mark, so the Courtney Park location was always our go-to for the perfect shawarma. But now, we'll be moving onto greener pastures. So long Osmows...
