Reviews for Walima Restaurant in Mississauga, ON
If you're looking for that truly authentic taste of Kuwaiti food, this is the place to go. The food was very good and with... portions so large, I recommend splitting a plate between 2 people. My only gripe was the Rice to Protein ratio, with there beingso much rice on the plate you felt guilty wasting it if you couldn't finish. Service was fast and friendly with some greatrecommendations. The ambiance of this place reminds me of a cafeteria, though my middle eastern friends tell me that this isvery reminiscent of your typical restaurant back there. Read more
I had an amazing experience of having the best lamb and rice from here. The lamb literally melts in your mouth. Rice is so... flavourful and you don?t need any accompaniment to have with rice. I ordered fish with rice and chicken with rice. Fish wasreally tasty. Chicken was really tender. Read more

Authentic delicious simple dishes. We have both dined in and done take out. The fish and chicken are amazing. Saffron rice is... just perfect to go with your choice of meat. Not cheap but the portions are large and quality is great. Read more
Really great food. I am not middle Eastern so cannot testify to how authentic it is, but the night we went, we were the only... non-middle Easterners there, so I figured that's a pretty good clue. The lamb and rice was so good, the lamb was falling off thebones and the rice was very tasty. We asked for an extra piece of lamb because it is so good. We got the parsley salad and itwas quite strong on it's own but was perfect pairing with the rice. The lentil soup was perfect too. The lady owner (or manager?Not sure) was really happy to see non middle Easterners love their food so much she served us a black tea and some sweets on thehouse. It was an amazing experience.

Having lived in Kuwait for more than 15 years, this has brought back some good memories. I was surprised to find a Kuwaiti... cuisine restaurant here in Canada. But hearing about it, I was excited to try it out. The rice with lamb and chicken wereamazing. The lamb especially was delicious and fell right off the bone. Loved the samosas especially the beef and cheese. Andcan't forget to mention the delicious dessert. It was nice talking to the owner of the restaurant about he happened to open thestore. Despite some prices being a little high (probably due to the pandemic) this place is definitely worth trying it out. I'lldefinitely go back again. Read more
This is one amazing find that I'm going to return multiple times, impeccable service, excellent food and the traditional... ambience is what made this review 5+ stars. We had the Fatoush salad, plate for 2 including the lamb and rice and the chickenbukhari, freshly made lokma(similar to Indian gulab jamuns but deep fried), cheese samboosa(small cheese fried puffs/patties)and small tea pot(excellent and we got like 4 cups from it). The food was excellent, flavorful and the meat was cookedperfect. The lamb rice reminded me of Lucknawi biryani(not the same but quite similar) and my day was made right there. And thisreview wouldn't be complete without mentioning our wonderful server, Mustafa. He's one happy, helpful and patient guy! Edit: Thechef stopped by my table to check on me. Her name is Noora and she's a very pleasant person to converse with. Highly recommendvisiting this gem! Read more
