Had another wonderful experience at Semsem! It's my go-to spot for Palestinian & Middle Eastern breakfast & food. Every time I walk in, I feel right at home. The ambiance is warm & cozy, creating the perfect setting for enjoying their authentic dishes. The portions are generous, & everything is deliciously prepared. It's always a top-notch experience dining here. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern flavors! 🌟🍽️🏠View more
Come with a group so you can take advantage of all the good stuff on the menu! Delicious family restaurant with a great assortment of mezze & Lebanese breakfast/brunch dishes.View more
This lively hub often buzzes with eager customers, occasionally leading to a brief wait for a table. Yet, the tantalizing culinary delights make the wait worth every second. The portions are great they are both filling & scrumptious. The staff is a paragon of politeness, fostering a dining atmosphere that enhances your eating out moments, making them even more enjoyable & amicable. Even though each dish is properly priced, it's always wise to be mindful of your orders 😉.View more
Went today with local & from away family today. What a treat. Food was flavourful & very good. Favourites were the bread with cheese & the Po Pie, which was a spinach & cheese flat bread (2nd pic). Humus was divine & my niece said the falafels were the best she has had. All six of give SemSem two thumbs up each...twelve thumb rating!!View more
The food was absolutely delicious!!! Couldnt get enough! We ordered a Zaatar Crust & Zaytoon Dip, Musabaha Tahini (AMAZING!) & Grandma's Breakfast. It all came with sides of pita bread, sesame bread & vegetable plates! They have so many vegetarian & vegan options & it's all clearly marked on the menu. The service was 5/5 - very friendly & so professional. Highly recommended if you're looking for a mediterranean brunch/lunch spot!View more
الاكل كتير طيب بس الكميات صارت كتير قليلةمرة عن مرة مقارنة مع التمن خصوصا الفتة جدا قليلة، المعاملة جيدةView more
Overall a great experience. The food was good & fresh. The service was lacking in getting any attention for coffee or water when there was no food order coming. Maybe a little more attention after the food is served incase we are thirsty..☕️🥛🥤View more

Amazing food & super friendly people. Definitely eat here.View more
Delicious is an understatement of how amazing this place is.View more
I really liked the sojok sunflower. The bread base was fluffy & had a good texture & the flavours were great. The fatteh with yogurt was average. The flafel were crispy, which I liked, but lacked flavour. The shakshouk was not really a shakshouka it was more like eggs sunny side up with some onions, it was underwhelming. I think their best suit is anything with dough or bread since they do that best; everything else is average at best.View more
Great authentic middle eastern spot. I tried the Sojok Sandwich & the halloumi cubes. My meal was really good. The service was also super friendly & quick!View more
Literally the best brunch we've ever had! It's a family run business where the food is cooked with pure love 👌 very vegetarian & vegan friendly as there are many no meat options such as fava bean dishes, chickpeas, pies, egg, etc. You really get a mediterannean, middle-eastern experience here & the food is authentic, fresh & extremelt delicious :)
A must visit & hidden gem in Ottawa!View more
