Our Story
From Beirut to ByWard
At Shawarma Time and Place, food is more than a meal — it's a tradition. Inspired by Lebanon's rich culinary heritage, our restaurant was created to bring authentic Lebanese shawarma to the heart of Ottawa's ByWard Market. Every recipe we serve reflects our commitment to quality, authenticity, and fresh ingredients.
Shawarma Time and Place is about community, culture, and bringing people together over great food. Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, we're honored to serve you.
Meet Chef Abou AdalBehind every dish is Chef Abou Adal, whose passion for Lebanese cuisine drives everything that comes out of our kitchen. From slow-grilled shawarma meats to freshly prepared falafel, every item is crafted with time-honored techniques, attention to detail, and authentic flavor.
