Shawarmar

I’ve been visiting this place since it opened a few years ago, and it’s one of my favorite places to go when I don’t have time to cook, but don’t want the feeling of traditional fast food. The food is filling, with pretty good portions and great flavor. I normally order one of their bowls, and I might spring for a wrap occasionally. The shawarma bowl, and lamb kabob bowl are my favorites. Make sure you get extra tahini sauce for your bowl! (If you’re a person who likes your food semi-drenched) The fries aren’t my favorite, but they pair well with the sauce selection. The sides of hummus, falafel, and dolma are always perfect to start off with as an appetizer, or paired with your meal. Friendly and efficient staff!

I came by for some lunch because it's located very close to my workplace, and was pretty happy with the food I ordered. I ordered the #1 Shawarma and a #7 Shish Tawook meal. The service was good and not quite as slow as other reviews might have you think. The shawarma in pita bread was nicely seasoned and the garlic sauce spread throughout was actually delicious. The Shish Tawook meal was a little bit lackluster; the flavors were good but it tasted on the weaker side, personally I think it could've used more seasoning, especially in the rice. Unfortunately, the chicken in this dish was pretty dry. I do plan on returning here but definitely going to stick to the shawarma instead of getting the Shish Tawook again. The dessert and hot mint tea looked interesting and I intend to try them next time.

We love Mediterranean food and have eaten it often from Coast to Coast. The Falafel Wrap here, along with the hummus and pita are, hands down, the best we've eaten anywhere! We ate comfortably on the shade-filled outdoor patio even in 90 degree temps. The hot mint tea was sublime and my partner gave his primo stamp of approval to the Baklava. We had a very filling meal for under $25. We'll return soon to sample the Shawarma: both chicken and beef. Service was quick and friendly and the place really is in the parking lot of the Midtown Home Depot. Try the food! No regrets!
