" I tried Osmow's Shawarma last week, and I was really hoping for a great experience given all the hype. To my surprise, the chicken I got was not only dry but tasted off, almost like it was that day's leftover. I expected more from a place specializing in shawarma, especially regarding authenticity and flavor. The service was okay, but I felt like they were rushing despite having fewer customers than expected. Maybe I'll try another location, but this one wasn't up to the standard I hoped for. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first experience at Osmow's recently and was surprised at how underwhelming it was. Even though the restaurant looked great, the food did not match the appearance. The chicken shawarma was dry - not a great start. Fries didn't add anything spectacular either. The service was fine but felt a bit rushed, which negatively affected my overall experience. I really wanted a fulfilling meal; unfortunately, I walked out feeling hungry and craving more flavor! I would think twice before coming back here. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I wasn't keen on my last experience at Osmow's, I decided to give it another chance due to its convenience. The food was decent but fell short of expectations. The chicken lacked flavor and was not mixed well into the wrap. The fries were satisfactory, but again lacked crispness. I observed the service been professional yet slow. I wish there was a bit more authenticity to my meal, as I did not feel satisfied as I could have hoped. It’s a convenient choice, but I won’t be raving about it anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Osmow's was less than good. When I went, the food just did not meet expectations at all. The flavors of the shawarma were absolutely absent and the chicken seemed undercooked, which made me question food safety. The fries were okay but added little to the meal. I feel like it’s marketed more towards quantity than quality. The staff were friendly, but there was a real lack of attentiveness in preparation which is concerning to say the least. It was a disappointing visit, and I honestly don't think I’ll return unless I hear great reviews in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I gave Osmow’s a shot after hearing decent recommendations from friends. Sadly, the food fell flat for me. The chicken shawarma was bland, and I had to ask for additional sauce to give it flavor. The fries were not particularly fresh either; they tasted a bit stale. My wrap was pretty big, but it doesn’t matter if the food inside lacks flavor. The service staff were friendly and seemed eager, but that didn’t make up for the overall quality of the meal. I don’t think I’ll be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had very high expectations when I visited Osmow's. Unfortunately, they didn't meet those expectations. The shawarma I received was quite unsatisfying. It lacked the depth of flavor that you'd expect from a traditional recipe - it felt more like a regular chicken wrap than shawarma. Additionally, the staff seemed overwhelmed and distracted; my order took longer than expected, and my fries were undercooked when they finally arrived. While the restaurant had an inviting atmosphere, it just couldn't compensate for the food quality. I think I will be looking elsewhere for my shawarma cravings in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a frustrating experience at Osmow's. The service was pretty slow, and when my order finally came, it was wrong. I ended up with a completely different wrap than what I ordered, and when I tried to explain, the staff seemed indifferent. I wasn't impressed with the food either; it tasted greasy and not fresh at all. It's disappointing because they seem to source good ingredients but fail in execution. I wouldn't suggest visiting unless you're in a rush and don't mind taking chances on your order. " (*Curated Review*)
