5 months agoSo first off the food is AMAZING. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the wait time was long. I waited about 10 mins in the drive through. But as soon as I pulled to the window, my food was ready. I pulled over and ate almost half my food. Highly recommend the chicken and lamb plate. I got the Jerusalem Salad and a side of pita bread. It was so good. I prefer this place over Hello Shawarma because their food is similar if not the same, but this restaurant is definitely more reasonable when it comes to pricing. I will be returning.

5 months agoOmg what is this place?? I am confused and I canโt believe it. First of all they didnโt pay me for this review, i am a critical and honest reviewer so i am doing it by myself because they made me happy. I donโt wanna take any names but these people hakuna matata are doing better than many famous shawarma places. Scrumptious, more than enough andddd not expensive at all. I bought 2 shawarma sandwiches and it was $22 so one for $11. Trust me they have good quantity AND quality there are very few places like this so we should try and support them so they keeping doing better. I also tried kebab one of my friends ordered that and i took a bite and OMFG the flavor it has is unbelievable. Yaโll can check my reviews and you will find like 3 or 4 places with this kinda review from me. I notice every detail when i am at any place but the thing i notice the most and the thing that matters to me the most is the food and the flavor. Thank you very much.

4 months agoThe place has some really good Shawerma. We tried both chicken and Beef Shawerma and they are both great. The closest taste to the one from Jordan, which is good considering that most of the places in the US has nothing to do with real shawerma. The downside was the fries. they looked like they have absorbed a lot of oil, and not crunchy enough. they had this weird texture when you fry in an old oil or just a bad brand of potatoes. This should be fixed. Other than that, the shawerma is really good.

2 weeks agoI grab dinner from here twice a week, the food is good however you just lost me as a regular customer forever because of how inconsistent your pricing is, i always get a mix grill and its $20+tax, now out of nowhere its $25+tax, theyโll probably bump it up to $30 in a month. $25+tax for a drive through meal that doesnโt even come with a drink is outrageous so if you want a drink youโll be paying over $30 just for a drive through meal, what exactly am i paying for? I would give 5 stars if you guys didnโt up the price so much for no reason, or at least add a drink. Greedy cheapskates.
