What Robert Popa Emil doesn't like about Amiral Restaurant:
Whoever’s working tonight sucks. We paid for extra meat to share the chicken dish since there’s usual enough for 2. Today we received less meat than a single portion normally comes with and we paid for extra!! The falafel balls are rock hard and inedible. Waste of money since they ended up in the trash. Tomatoes were not added as requested. Usually pretty good but tonight was a bust View all feedback. What Arina Abdrakhmanova likes about Amiral Restaurant:
THE BEST SHAWARMA PLACE in Ottawa/Gatineau area I tried! Ingredients are always fresh, food is delicious, meat is high quality and they don’t skip on grilling your sandwiches or meats! Potions are massive and for a solid price! Service is fast! Employees are professional and SOOOO NICE AND FRIENDLY! 10/10 every time we went there! Their rice and potatoes are also delicious, and the hummus is just WOW!Your food is alw... View all feedback.

I was at the Amiral a while ago and the food was delicious. If you are very hungry, that is the place to go as the portions are very generous.
