OMG (Oasis Mediterranean Grill)

OMG carves its rotisserie chicken to order, folds it into either Saj or warm pita with pickled turnips, pickles, garlic sauce and hot sauce, and treats that wrap as the order most downtown Peterborough tables open with. The same counter also serves an Aleppo Platter — slices of Aleppo-style shawarma with fries — named for the Syrian city the founding family came from. The shawarma is the engine of the menu, and the wrap is the entry point. Almost everything else on the board branches outward from there, into platters, rice bowls, poutines and family-sized feasts. Oasis Mediterranean Grill is what the sign reads; OMG is what the TikTok handle, the regulars, and the menu cover have settled on instead.

Beyond the chicken wrap, the menu carries Beef and Lamb Shawarma in a wrap, on a rice platter, over fries as a poutine, and as the cornerstone of the Aleppo Platter. The Mezza Platter pulls hummus, baba ghanouge, kebbeh, falafel, grape leaves, tabbouli and warm pita onto one tray for a shared opener. Kafta and chicken kebabs run their own wrap and platter lanes alongside the shawarma. Vegetarian options are not an afterthought — the Falafel Wrap, Falafel Platter, Falafel Salad Bowl, hummus, baba ghanouge, stuffed grape leaves and a vegetarian samosa all hold their own beside the meat. Baklava finishes most tables, and the house garlic sauce is sold by the takeout container for diners who want to keep the wrap going at home.
