Reviews for Retaj Mediterranean Cuisine & Shawarma in Ottawa, ON

Omg was this ever delicious! We actually shared 1 plate and we still had leftovers for another lunch. We had the Chicken with... our choice of salads topped with Humous. The people who work their (possibly the owners) were all so friendly and kind! ???? Read more

Why do you close early? I was super excited to get it for me and my family... I was rushing to get there before 7pm which I did.... And you were already sweeping the floor and locked the doors. You advertise that you close at 7pm.. why were you closed at6:54pm? I'll definitely not be giving you my business a anymore Read more

I've ordered from Retaj numerous times and the food is consistently fresh and delicious! We orderd two family platters last... night and had enough food to feed a small army! It's obvious this family takes great care and pride in the food they prepare anddistribute to their customers. This spot is a true gem in Riverside South. ?? Read more

Really disappointed in the food here. The shawarma is very average but the portions was good. The meat and cheese pies are the... worst I have ever had in my life. The amount of grease in the cheese pies leaking through the bag is unacceptable and the doughwas so poor it didn't even looked cooked, the dough had no taste at all , almost like it's purchased frozen. You should feelembarrassed selling those pies. Read more

My husband and I had a chicken platter. It was so fresh and yummy. I think they have the best chicken platter in Ottawa. Owner... is super friendly. We simply love it. PS: Moosa, we are your permanent customers now :) Read more

Went in for a coffee at X Barista. Let me just say that this is by far the best coffee shop you can find in riverside south.... Amazing staff, well decorated interior & a clean store. The staff are very nice and see to it that you have an amazingexperience. If you?re looking for coffee in the area, please look no further. In addition they have amazing sugar free andlactose free options as well. 10/10 Read more

Disappointed at the portions. My sandwich was good but it wasn't full. I could barely taste the chicken. I could wrap my tiny... hand around the sandwich. Potatoes need to be cooked for longer, since they are big pieces, it is hard in the middle. Only got 1container of garlic and it wasn't enough for my potatoes. Salad was great though. Read more

Average middle eastern fare. Busy on a Thursday night. Four customers ahead. Waited more than 15 minutes to be served. ... Flavours were just average but portions were large. The kebab was quite chewy and the plastic forks and knives were too soft tocut with. The floors to the bathroom are quite slippery. Read more
