This is our first visit here, but it won’t be the last. Everything from the greeting, to the presentation, to the taste of the food, everything was excellent!!! I can see why this place has 98% five star reviews. I’m not too sure about that half of 1% of people who gave bad reviews. Middle Eastern food was meant to be enjoyed in moderation. This isn’t Chinese food when you get 2 pounds of everything you order.

Very good food. The beef shawarma was NOT DRY. Very moist and full of flavor. Tried hummus for the first time, bit of a flavor adjustment but I did enjoy it. Definitely will be going back here again with friends and family.

When we look to eat for flavor or experience, this is only place to visit around UTC. The staff are so incredibly tentative, warm and welcoming. Each bite of the food will take you abroad on a flavorful adventure.

I lived in the middle east for 3 years, i was an expat. I became familiar with the taste of the original shawarma. When I came back here in the US I have tried shawarma in different restaurants most of them are ok. But here in Al Forno I can say this is the best shawarma meat you can have. It taste like the REAL shawarma meat. And the garlic sauce yummy!! the sides oh my Hummus, baba Ghanouj its the original taste, the real deal.

Small location in a good area away from the crowed UTC areas! The food is good but not great however I would try it again. I have not tried all of the menu items yet. I recommend you give it a try

We are very impressed with the quality of the meals (the chicken is so flavorful !), the value and the caring professionalism of the bearded and spectacled young manager. The Middle Eastern background music is also a nice touch.

Must try! Best Mediterranean I’ve had thus far in town!!! Fresh ingredients, super healthy with variety! I moved from Miami/Dallas and was missing Mediterranean food and I’m glad we found this restaurant! Chef was so kind! Cannot wait to come back! 20 stars!
