Definitely don’t recommend coming here. Their meat isn’t cooked fresh. The lady told us they cook it a day or two in advance. Then when she put it on the grill she only grilled it for a second which kept the chicken cold. I’d rather get a cold sub from subway. If your into cold chicken shawarma then this is the spot for you.

I ordered a butter chicken salad and my husband ordered a butter chicken rice plate. I'm not sure what I just ate- while it was edible (I was hungry)- the chicken did not taste at all like any butter chicken I have ever had, and it also had a strange texture in addition to being luke warm. Garlic sauce was not as flavorful as is usual with shawarma places. The tahini was ranch sauce for some reason? My husband's meal was slightly better, but still not great... odd flavor (I couldnt even think of what to compare it to. It didnt taste like anything Ive ever had.. maybe similar to chicken shawarma that has been rinsed in water then left under a heat lamp to dry up) .. and lukewarm. We are not picky eaters ... we have never had shawarma this bad. To be honest, I am second guessing our choice to eat it- and I am hoping we dont get sick. Sadly a waste of $45 :( Some positives: Lady was friendly, food was prepared quickly.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. This is hands down, the absolute WORST “shawarma” place I have ever had. Not only were the two women employees completely rude and disrespectful, but when my husband ordered off THEIR menu, they appeared as if they had seen a ghost, and had no clue what my husband was ordering, which was; - 1 Large Fattoush Salad - 1 Mixed Beef and Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl - 1 Falafel Rice Bowl - 5 extra falafels on the side if possible First of all, they said they were out of all salads — fine. They then proceeded to take payment from my husband, and brushed him off to the side while he waited — fine again. 3 other individuals then entered and placed their orders. They served them all first, even though my husband had been there first and longer — fine, but now we’re getting irritated. After, they handed my husband our food, and he left. When we opened the bag, there was 1 medium sized takeout container, and 1 small one — hmm, alright… 1) The falafel bowl is completely missing. 2) The potatoes in the mixed chicken and beef bowl are BARELY warm, the beef is burnt to a crisp, the chicken is completely inedible because of how old and hard it must be. 3) The garlic sauce (which is usually one of the best parts), completely absent, this tastes like Miracle Whip. 4) In the small container is a few, small, single falafel balls, soggy and also barely warm. So, please explain to me how this entire order amounted to $31?! Absolutely atrocious and insane. 100/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Save your money, save your energy and save your appetite.

Delicious chicken shawarma platter! Garlic sauce is a little sweeter than I'm used to, but it was still very tasty! Tasty little side salad and a couple falafel balls included also. Fluffy rice, friendly service. Recommended!

Ordered a butter chicken wrap (not pictured) combo. The wrap was filled and had good portions of everything; however, the wrap didn’t hold together even when the employee was wrapping and grilling it, so it pretty much disintegrated by the time I was able to eat it. The chicken was pretty tender and the wrap was good, but I could only finish half due to the rest falling apart. The fries were not good. I think the oil hasn’t been changed in a while, as they were a dark brown despite not being too crispy. The oil on the sides of the container was quite dark and thick, and the fries tasted like oil and nothing else. Service was good, the employee handling my order was nice and made my order relatively quick considering he seemed to be the only worker at the front. However, for a nearly $18 meal after tax and tip, I can’t say the food I received was worth it. The quality would be great if the fry oil was changed more often and wraps were packaged better, I would consider going back to try a rice bowl!
