North America's largest Middle Eastern restaurant chain, Osmow's Shawarma, is headed to Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise.

Osmow's was founded in 2001 by Sam Osmow in Ontario, Canada, as a way to bring his Egyptian roots to North America by blending traditional Egyptian cuisine with a modern palate. The family-led franchise operation has grown to more than 150 locations across the continent and recently announced three more expansions, including Virginia, Michigan, and, finally, a second location in Miami.

After finding success in Doral, the restaurant is coming to Sawgrass Mills Mall's West Dining Pavilion at 12801 W. Sunrise Blvd. It is slated to open in September, but Osmow's social media has not announced the exact date.

At most of its grand openings, the first 200 guests in line receive "Chicken on the Rocks." The signature dish features chicken shawarma carved from the rotisserie served with seasoned rice and topped off with its signature garlic sauce, tahini, and sumac.

Overall, the menu is known for its bold flavors and the variety of dishes, including wraps, signature creations, "Oz Boxes," and salads. (All protein choices include vegetarian options.) The inclusive menu also includes variations for gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan diets. Desserts include signature items like the baklava cheesecake and brownies.

Catering options can serve up to 20 people as a main dish feast and include side dishes like falafel.
