What Our Customers Are Saying
Don't just take our word for it — here's what real customers have to say about their JJ's Shawarma experience:
Marc Laplante
★★★★★
"By far the best Shawarma I have had in and around this city since moving here from Montreal six years ago. I used to head back to MONTREAL when I wanted a good Shawarma. Now I cut my travel time and I will only need to go to Kemptville! The chicken was so incredibly moist yet had that amazing char on the outside. JJ seems to know every patron that comes in to his place because he greets everybody with his incredible smile and good nature."
John M Tanguay
★★★★★
"Hands down one of, if not the best shawarma we have had in eastern Ontario. Great spice and cook on juicy chicken, a sweet creamy garlic paste, awesome hummus and a great staff to boot. The owner served people personally and with personality which is such a welcome sight. I won't just be going back soon. I already planned a day to get another family platter."
Khristina Kazyuk
★★★★★
"I just had the BEST shawarma of my life at this spot! The food was beyond delicious – perfectly seasoned, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell everything is made with love and care. The owner is an absolute sweetheart, so kind and welcoming – it made the whole experience even better. This place is truly a hidden gem!"
Chris Marchand
★★★★★
"Our first visit to JJ's and it didn't disappoint! The Boss Man himself checked in on us as we ate and made sure to greet everyone who came in. JJ and his staff were super friendly and engaging with everyone. As my son is on a Shawarma journey to eat Shawarma in every place we go to, JJ's didn't disappoint him or myself. Thank you again Chef JJ for the hospitality and excellent food!"
Micaella Riche
★★★★★
"Absolutely delicious and large portions with fresh ingredients. The large wrap was HUGE. Potatoes and garlic were delicious. Service was awesome – great group of gentlemen with good chemistry between them which made the customer service experience pleasant. This will absolutely be a regular stop for me when traveling to Ottawa!"
